The Courage of the Song Dynasty

My surname is Wang, and I am a Taoist priest by profession, but I was not a Taoist priest from the beginning. When I was five years old, there was a famine and war, and my parents took me to Maoshan. I died of illness and I was the only one left in the family. Later on, I became a beggar, leading the homeless orphans to fight with the beggars from the local beggar gang every day to beg for food and work. When I was seven and a half years old, I was alone and surrounded by seven or eight beggars. There was a food shortage that year. The beggars were debating whether to boil me or roast me. I smiled and picked up a sharpened bamboo sword. With a crazy smile, I struck one sword at a time. One by one, I stabbed them down and hit them with sticks, but I felt no pain. On the contrary, I felt a kind of morbid pleasure when stabbing them. Yes, I liked the sound of the sword breaking through the flesh. Later, I also thought that if I wasn't a beggar, maybe I would be a better butcher. When I stabbed the sixth man, my sword was blocked. He is an elegant middle-aged man, dressed casually in a Taoist robe. "Stop it, you come with me, I will support you." "Okay" because I knew I couldn't beat him, so I went to Maoshan and became a direct disciple of the Shangqing Sect. The master said that my talent is high and my murderous intention is serious. I need to cultivate a pure and inactive mind to lock away my thoughts. Well, you are the master and you have the final say. In this way, many years passed in the mountains. The Yuan army is here and the Song Dynasty is dead. The master wants to repay the kindness of the emperor. My brothers and sisters will die with the country. I don't care. I should repay the master and kill a few people by the way. Yashan, King Ning went up, the eunuch went up, and the master also went up. With a simple knife, a small soldier who I could usually fight ten easily cut down the master. At that moment, the monkey broke the chain, the horse dragged the murderous intention, and the Taoist who helped the world died, The killing king of hell is back. I kept killing with a smile and tears of blood from the corner of my eyes. Obviously breaking the flesh is the pleasure that I long for in my heart, but why do I only feel endless sorrow and pain? The master is dead, several senior brothers are dead, and many junior brothers are dead. Later we rushed out, and I followed King Ning to America, Dadu, and Diaoyu City. The deaths of my master and brothers were like a poison that gnawed at my Taoist heart. Maybe I could no longer suppress it, and Yama was about to appear... In the mountain city yizhuang, I never knew that breaking open the flesh was not to take lives, but could even save lives. Breaking, searching, diagnosing, excision, suturing, anti-inflammation... It turns out that this is my Tao! ! At this moment, the heart ape does not need to be restrained by chains, manipulating the sharp knife to break through obstacles and seek ways to save people; the mind is no longer dragging the murderous intention, and is driving the wisdom to push through the clouds and mist to find the cure. Maybe Yama will not come again, I will try to work hard to become the Heavenly Lord of Jishi... For the master and for the common people!

I saw some people saying that ships at that time could not reach America, and I couldn't help but refute it: From the "Chinese Ancient Ship Genealogy", the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty was quite mature. According to Wu Zimu's "Mengliang Lu", the largest seagoing ships in the Song Dynasty had a load capacity of 300 tons, a displacement of 600 tons, and could carry five to six hundred people. Medium-sized ships can carry 150 tons and about 300 people. The sea-going ships of the Song Dynasty had strong hulls and good structures. The hull of the ship is "made of huge logs stacked in all directions". The "Nanhai No. 1" Sunken ship unearthed in 1974 is only 24 meters long and 9 meters wide. The lower part of the ship has 13 watertight compartments separated by 12 partitions. It has a displacement of nearly 400 tons and a load of 200 tons, which is equivalent to the load of 700 camels on the Silk Road. There are various types of ships, which are roughly divided into three categories: sand ships, Fu ships and Guangzhou ships. "Nanhai No. 1" Belongs to the Fu ships. It is said that the Guangzhou ships are even larger, and there is the world-famous "Mulan ship". The technology for long-distance navigation is also basically available. Watertight compartments and compasses are mature and widely used. "Mengxi Bi Tan" records a widely used compass, the "water floating needle", and also records the existence of magnetic declination. It is precisely because of the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty that the Yuan Dynasty was able to make six voyages to the Western Ocean. Wang Dayuan made several voyages and wrote "Dao Yi Zhi" (it is said that Wang Dayuan also visited Morocco, I don't know whether it is true or not). Having said so much, I just want to show that China was fully capable of discovering America at that time. You know, the flagship of Columbus's fleet was only more than a hundred tons.

There is indeed something remarkable about this book What moved me the most was the love between Wu Song and Diao Chan. In order to save Wang Mang, Zhang Fei turned against his sworn brother, the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun. Especially when I read that Guo Jing gave up his position as the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and resolutely wandered around the world with the gentleman Jian Yue Buqun, it made me cry. Linghu Chong joined the anti-Japanese war to avenge his father.

I feel like these chapters after the protagonist returns to America are always unpleasant to read. Why was I drawn to this book? I think the author wrote it with great passion and passion. In the opening sea battle at Yashan, the desperate Xing Chao, inspired by the protagonist's righteous speech and leading by example, made great sacrifices to escape. What impressed me the most was that even the dancing girl who had a poem saying "I don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation" could pass on such spirit and will, allowing readers to deeply feel what is the spirit and backbone of the Chinese nation, which is very touching. The plot of the protagonist returning to China in place of his father and leading the movement against the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty can also reveal the deep emotions between the protagonist and his son. When most of them were lurking, Zhang Yu, who pretended to be crazy and acted stupidly, and used Qin opera to express his will, Wen Tianxiang, who preferred death but regained hope when the protagonist intentionally sent information, someone who endured humiliation and lurked in hiding (no spoilers), the empress dowager who gave up escaping in order to stabilize the exiled court, and the blood-headed army who fought for glory, all left a deep impression on the readers. When entering Sichuan and starting the great cause of restoring the Song Dynasty, the Sichuan people ate pots of pulp and were not afraid of powerful enemies. This is another touching place. I feel like the author may not be performing well recently. Returning to America after a few years, internal construction and conflict resolution should be very interesting. However, I felt that the author's description of this was not very interesting, and even a bit embarrassing. I think the root problem lies in: "too frivolous". From the perspective of the protagonist's setting, he is a "hot-blooded little hooligan" whether in modern times or in ancient times. The "hot blood" aspect is quite successfully created, which is especially reflected in the war plot. The setting of "a hooligan and a playboy" determines his relatively frivolous character. But the image of the characters is not flat, but three-dimensional and flowing. The protagonist has witnessed so many hatreds between countries and families, led the anti-Yuan struggle for a long time, and has a great Confucian as his teacher, so he should have grown up. Although the author mentioned his growth, it is not clearly reflected in the article. His character should be calm, his speaking style should be elegant, his behavior should be wise, and his knowledge reserves should be rich. But the frivolous writing style cannot match such a character at all. When describing the characters' inner monologues, the author often uses vulgar words such as "oh rub". Sometimes such monologues are also used for some important court officials (such as Chen Yizhong recently) to create a special drama. Maybe the author is writing to get excited? In short, I suggest that the author uses such words less in the future. There are many ways to express exclamation, right? Why do you have to use one sentence to get rid of the world? One more point. "So-and-so: '...'" This way of expressing speechlessness is recommended to be used sparingly. Many times, directly deleting this kind of sentence structure has no impact on the understanding of the article, but leaving it there may cause the word count to be inflated. It is said that authors should not randomly change the outline because of readers' comments. I think readers should not use their own ideas to kidnap the plot. Therefore, the suggestions I make are entirely focused on writing and style. I think the plot is good, but the author must not change it randomly. Speaking of writing style, I actually don't dislike relaxed writing style. I particularly like "The Great Husband of the Northern Song Dynasty". It has a relaxed writing style, but because it is set in the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty, it adopts a tranquil and relaxed style that is more life-like. "Saving the Ming Dynasty" is also in a relaxed and joyful style, but it is set at the end of the Ming Dynasty when the country was in crisis. There were too many constraints from the foolish emperor and the traitorous ministers. Its relaxation is pungent and ironic humor. The era in which this book is set is also facing a national crisis, but there are many loyal ministers and righteous people. If you want to adopt a relaxed writing style, you may have to consider how to be relaxed. To be relaxed but not frivolous, and to grasp the boundary between relaxed and frivolous, I think this is a direction that the author can try. The above is just my personal opinion.

If I were to go to America, it would take at least fifty years for the population to be born. On average, each Han would marry ten wives and give birth to twenty or thirty children. If everything goes well, there would be more than five million Hans, plus the educated and enslaved Indians, I would be able to establish at least a large empire with a population of tens of millions. By then, Mongolia would have almost declined, and it would be time to send its troops north to regain our territory.

My second account was blocked again Is it because of this 🥵🥵🥵 And it's permanently banned

The peace talks with Mongolia at the end were really not that good, especially when I read the first chapter from the beginning, I hated the peace talks even more.

What Song Dan is called Yuan Dan is pretty much the same. Wouldn't it be better for you to just travel through time and become Kublai Khan?

I didn't finish reading this book. I gave it up halfway. I suddenly finished it today and wanted to share my opinion. This book was very interesting and attracted me at the beginning. Later I wrote about entering Dadu and saving people. The storyline and logic are that the protagonist plans everything and everyone knows about it. But if you don't expose it, just play it, the protagonist will definitely succeed, because both the decent and the villain are both good and evil. Helping him secretly, including Kublai Khan, the supreme ruler of the empire. The more I read, the more I doubted myself. Some plots became less and less convincing. I gradually stopped following the updates and gradually gave up. The author's writing is very good and the words are provocative, but the book did not reach a certain level. Historical novels pay attention to the sense of immersion. Maybe this is the reason why most other people like me did not read it.
