The Ming Dynasty Wingers Don't Stop at Night

"Border Guards at Night" is based on a real stone carving from the Keng'er Valley Fort in Xuanfu Town during the 24th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty. It is based on the Jiajing Dynasty's resistance to the captives in the northern border, the long-standing maladministration of officials, and the hardship of the border soldiers. It tells the story of Guo Yanzhong, the commander of the Ming Dynasty who led six scouts, and under the orders of Zhao Shiqing, a thousand-year-old, crossed the border for thirty miles to Lanniao to explore the movements of the Mongolian army. Zhou Chuan, a 33-year-old military Chinese medicine practitioner from Chengdu, Sichuan, practiced in the Yujing Monastery of Shehong Jinhua Mountain in Sichuan Province in his early years. He is well versed in the art of medicinal herbs and healing wounds, and the art of identifying traces and shapes. Although he is not the vanguard of the main battle, he has saved Paoze's life several times with his skills and has become the most reliable backing of Ye Bushou. A group of people sacrificed their lives to find out top-secret military information. After returning to the fort, they were framed by a corrupt official. Their military achievements were about to be wiped out and their lives were in danger. The stonemason Xie Huai felt his loyalty and took the risk to carve the whole story on the bluestone, using the stone as evidence and leaving his name in words. As the Mongolian army approached the city, Keng'eryu Fort fell into despair. Guo Yanzhong refused to retreat, Zhou Chuan guarded his soldiers and repaired firearms, Zhao Shiqing fought to the death to defend the enemy, and a group of low-level border people defended the Great Wall with their flesh and blood in the wars of troubled times, establishing heaven and earth with loyalty. In the end, the loyal souls of a group of seven people were carved into stone and left in history, writing a heart-stirring song of the Ming Dynasty frontier fortress by a small person.
