Heroes of Two Swords

The general content of this work is mainly about: During the third year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty of China, Shi Jingtang ceded to the Khitan people the sixteen prefectures located in today's Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, and northern Hebei. The name "Yanyun" was first found in "History of the Song Dynasty·Geography". In 936 AD, Shi Jingtang, the governor of Hedong Festival in the Later Tang Dynasty, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and established his own country, seeking help from the Khitan. The Khitan sent troops to support him in establishing the Jin Kingdom. Taizong of the Liao Dynasty and Shi Jingtang became father and son. As a condition, two years later (i. E. 938 AD), Shi Jingtang donated the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which expanded the territory of the Liao Kingdom along the Great Wall. Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, mutinied in Chenqiao and wore a yellow robe. Since then, he established the Song Dynasty, which is called the "Northern Song Dynasty" in history. At that time, Song Taizu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. It could be said that it was a coup organized by his subordinates, but there should be three main characters. They were: Emperor Taizu, the emperor's brother Zhao Guangyi, and the prime minister Zhao Pu. They forced the young emperor Chai Zongxun of the Later Zhou Dynasty to abdicate without abandoning any soldiers and replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty. This was the famous "Chenqiao Mutiny" At that time, there were several other founding heroes around Taizu who were called the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society" by history. Among them was General Ximen Wude named Huang Shouzheng. Of course, there is no such character in history. It is completely a fictional character derived from this novel. Everyone is familiar with another founding hero, his name is Shi Shouxin. Historically, Shi Shouxin's achievements cannot be completely denied, nor can we say that he is a corrupt official who only knows how to extort money from the people. After all, his achievements are still considerable, at least when Taizu became emperor at that time, and then he also followed orders to pacify Yangzhou, attack Li Jun, etc. However, it was precisely because of this that he was extremely friendly to General Huang Shouzheng on the surface, but it was just to achieve his own goal of stealing. The general story of what happened is this: At that time, General Huang Shouzheng followed Song Taizu in his southern and northern expeditions and made great contributions. The big effect is that the two swords held by General Huang Shouzheng (this man himself has no so-called internal strength as people in the world say, all relying on a kind of momentum) can hold the barrier with one man. Over time, Huang Shouzheng's achievements were naturally much greater than those of Qi Shi Shouxin. It was because of this that Shi Shouxin began to covet him. Come to think of it, Huang Shouzheng has mediocre martial arts but only great strength. He can be described as a foolhardy man. However, he was able to achieve this feat. Isn't it because he has the two magic weapons of "Ice Soul" and "Fire Flame" in his hands? So he had the idea to kill his good brother, and then take the two swords into his bag as his own. The story of this game begins... After releasing the military power over a cup of wine, Taizu's former brothers were also ordered to surrender the military power and then returned home. Shi Shouxin's hometown was in Junyi, Kaifeng. When he returned home, he immediately followed the order and implemented what Emperor Taizu called "accumulating fertile land and accumulating gold and treasures". Huang Shouzheng was from Pingjiang Prefecture (today's Jiangsu area). One day, he received a handwritten letter from Kaifeng Shi Shouxin, saying that he would soon go to visit an old friend he had not seen again for a long time. Huang Shouzheng is a straightforward person, and he would never have thought that one of his former friends would come to frame him. This is exactly what is said: "It is difficult to draw a tiger's skin, but it is difficult to know its heart." From here, it can also be explained: A person must be cautious when making friends and brothers when going out, and he must be careful in everything. As the saying goes, "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others." This is the truth. I am not here to tell readers not to make friends. After all, "rely on your parents at home and rely on friends when you go out." It is not a bad thing to make more friends, but it cannot be said that just because he is your friend, you can help him without hesitation. Personally, I think that you should do everything within your ability, so you should be more cautious. Of course the more good friends the better, but if you have one bad friend you feel like you have too many, right? To sum up, it does not mean that Shi Shouxin is a complete bad guy, but everyone has shortcomings. Who can be without faults if he is not a sage? There is no perfect person in the world, and the heaven and earth are imperfect, let alone human beings. Why be sad? Wrong and right are only relative terms. However, in order to increase the drama of the story, the author only exaggerates some of Shi Shouxin's faults. This is purely necessary for the story. Readers, please do not take it seriously. If you want to understand the real history, it is better to read more relevant history books. After all, novels are mostly for entertainment. Although martial arts novels are fairy tales for adults, since they are fairy tales they must be exaggerated to a certain extent. I have been writing since I was in elementary school, and now I suddenly remembered my childhood dream, so the book "The Legend of the Two Swords Heroes" was born. The main purpose of this book is: 1. To promote the pure and good love between men and women. 2. Carry forward the spirit of unity between nations. 3. When you have to choose between interests and friendship, which one is more important, interests or friendship. 4. The ultimate meaning of martial arts novels is as Jin Yong said - a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. What is "wuxia"? What someone calls "martial arts" refers to an artistic means necessary to unfold the plot of the novel, and the fighting scenes in the book are one of them; while "xia" is reflected in a person's heart, and that person's chivalrous feelings can be called "xia". The image of the protagonist Huang Jifei created in "The Legend of Two Swords Heroes" I wrote is inseparable from the above points. His father, Huang Shouzheng, was jointly killed by Shi Shouxin and Chen Feng and almost died. Later, the protagonist enters the world alone, with two main purposes: one is to find the stolen flaming sword, and the other is something that everyone should experience, that is, people must always be self-reliant and cannot always rely on others. Of course, I also want to use this book to educate those friends who cannot live independently without their parents. I hope you can be inspired by reading this book. When Huang Jifei learned that everything was planned by Shi Shouxin, the mastermind behind the scenes, he and He Meiniang came to Shi Shouxin's house, intending to vent his hatred on the enemy he had been missing for a long time. This was his original intention, but later he learned that his purpose was to use this sword for the second northern expedition to the Liao Dynasty, with the intention of helping the Song Dynasty recapture the Sixteenth State of Yanyun (Song Taizong's second northern expedition was in 986 AD, seven years apart from the first). After that, in order to prevent the common people who were in the war from falling into the suffering of the war again, he had to agree to break into the pagoda with Shi Shouxin, the enemy who killed his father, and obtain the peerless military book. From this point of view alone, the so-called "Xia" character is highlighted, and the subsequent Battle of the City is no better than this (described in Chapter 28 "Bazhou Gunsmoke" and Chapter 29 "Heroes with Two Swords"). Intention: I want what I want for life, and I want what I want for righteousness. You cannot have both, and you want to sacrifice life for righteousness.
