Chapter 216: Allah's Horn Xu Wei
New week, new students.
"Hello teacher, my name is Xu Wei. ”
A fifteen-and-a-half-year-old man bowed to Xun Ze and said hello.
This name is slightly familiar.
He was sure that he had heard the name from somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he arranged a room for him first.
Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya continued to study music in the Oasis World this week, while the three brothers of the Li family were curious that they could change the world with their own hands, and asked Xun Ze to release them the historical information pieces of Yingzhou, Penglai, and the Abbot of the Three Kingdoms.
So before going to bed at night, Xun Ze had time to check the information to see what stories Xu Wei had in history.
Xu Wei, (March 12, 1521-1593), a native of Shanyin, Shaoxing Prefecture, was a famous literary film director, writer, military strategist, calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty. Because the film he made deeply reflected the political corruption and rampant power of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the film was banned many times, and even he himself spent a period of time in prison.
Later, because there was no investor to invest in filmmaking, Xu Wei had to sell his property in order to make a movie, so that he lived in poverty in his later years. After several suicide attempts, Xu Wei chose to live in seclusion in the countryside and finally died of illness.
It turned out to be him.
After reading Xu Wei's profile, Xun Ze suddenly remembered who Xu Wei was.
In the original history, although Xu Wei was not famous in modern times, he was intimidating in ancient times. Not only is he known as one of the three geniuses of the Ming Dynasty, but there are also many literati in later generations who claim to be willing to be his lackeys.
However, although the talent is amazing, Xu Wei is really a bit of a person.
Xu Wei, who has been amazingly talented since he was a child, is known as the ten sons of Yuezhong, but Shen Lian, who is also the tenth son of Yuezhong, did not dare to be side by side with him at all, saying, 'Behind closed doors, there is only Xu Wei'.
However, in that era, talent did not mean everything, and Xu Wei's mother was just a maid to marry the lady of the main room, without any status.
So after his father died, Mrs. Masamuro kicked his mother out of the house. However, Mrs. Zhengfu was very good to Xu Wei and raised Xu Wei personally.
But when Xu Wei was fourteen years old, Mrs. Zhengfu also died, and Xu Wei could only live with his eldest brother, who was thirty-seven years older than him, and kept sending people under the fence.
In the Ming Dynasty of that era, although the examination system was established, in order to prevent the people at the bottom from turning over, the elites stipulated that if they wanted to get into a good university, they must be proficient in ancient Chinese.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had begun to popularize simple and easy-to-write simplified characters on a large scale, even if it was traditional characters, many students could not write, let alone let them fully grasp the difference between small seals and large seals, the interpretation of oracle bone inscriptions and the detailed explanations of many ancient articles.
It's not that this knowledge is lost, but that there are very few people who know this knowledge at present, and only some private schools hire teachers to teach them specially.
Students who do not have money or connections to enter private schools, even if they want to buy ancient books for self-study, will find that there are not only few types of ancient documents, but also that there are many errors in ancient books on the market, and it is impossible to fully grasp ancient texts by reading books.
This is actually the reason why the south responded to the uprising when the revolutionary army stood up in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
Because of this practice of the Ming Dynasty government, many civilians have no possibility of turning over, and they completely monopolize the channel for the people at the bottom to be promoted.
However, in the era when Xu Wei lived, the Ming Dynasty was still alive and well, so Xu Wei could only accept that no matter how hard he tried, he could not rely on the fate of a prestigious university.
However, even if he couldn't go to a prestigious university, Xu Wei at that time could still choose to go to some good schools. It's just that the fees of these good schools are high, and Xu Wei's eldest brother is unwilling to pay this money for Xu Wei.
Desperate, Xu Wei had no choice but to agree to be a son-in-law of a landlord's family, and scraped together enough tuition fees to study.
But even if he has become a son-in-law, fate has not let Xu Wei go.
Xu Wei finished studying, just graduated and came home, his wife died of illness, and the old man thought that this was the reason why Xu Wei did not take good care of his daughter, so he drove Xu Wei out of the house mercilessly.
Xu Wei originally wanted to return to his eldest brother's house, but his eldest brother died early because he was addicted to alchemy, and the second brother died of illness in Guizhou, and the Xu family's original family business was also occupied by some powerful people one after another.
Desperate, Xu Wei wrote two articles denouncing Yan Song, the speaker of the House of Lords at the time: "Today's Song" and "Erma Poem", and then went to the barracks as an officer by virtue of his identity as a college student.
At that time, the three overseas kingdoms had risen to prominence, and there had always been war friction with the Ming Dynasty on the oceans.
In land warfare, the three overseas countries were inferior to the Ming Dynasty, but the navy has always been the weak point of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty always loses more and wins less.
It's gold that shines everywhere. There is nothing wrong with that.
In his early years, because of his hobby in military affairs, Xu Wei quickly became familiar with the army, and attracted the attention of Hu Zongxian, the governor of the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy at that time, and recruited him into the general staff.
Xu Wei, who entered the General Staff, also made great contributions soon after, and the battle plans formulated by him were successively successful, enabling the Ming Dynasty to reverse its decline in the East China Sea in one fell swoop.
Of course, Xu Wei not only showed his military talent in the barracks, but also let the world know his literary talent.
Although the Governor of the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy, he has made a great contribution, but if the upper and lower houses cannot be made to know the value of this merit, then all the efforts of the Fujian and Zhejiang Navy will be in vain.
So Xu Wei successively helped Hu Zongxian write several articles detailing the significance of the victory of the Fujian and Zhejiang navy and handed them to the upper and lower houses, so that the emperor and the upper and lower houses successively sent commendations to the Fujian and Zhejiang navies.
In the end, Hu Zongxian's trust in Xu Wei reached the point of handing over most of the official documents to him.
But just when Xu Wei thought that his time was coming, Hu Zongxian's backer Yan Song lost in the political struggle and was directly handed over to the final jury for trial on charges of corruption and perversion of the law.
Yan Song's downfall soon implicated Hu Zongxian, who was first dismissed from his post and then taken to the imperial capital for trial.
At that time, Hu Zongxian, who had made great contributions, was still treated like this, not to mention the people under Hu Zongxian, who were lucky enough to be dismissed, and those who were unlucky were directly framed to death.
At that time, Xu Wei, who was known as the first staff officer in the southeast, was repeatedly investigated by the investigation team. I don't know if it was because the investigation team used some anti-human criminal laws, but by the end of the investigation, Xu Wei's whole person was close to collapse and fell into mental confusion.
He first used an axe to cut off his own head, but the skull was broken, and he did not die. Then he pulled out the three-inch iron nail from the wall and thrust it into his ear.
As a result, he still did not die, and was taken to the hospital for treatment for several months.
Xu Wei, who was discharged from the hospital, did not give up the idea of suicide, he used an awl to break his kidney capsule, but he still did not die.
But Xu Wei's wife at the time was accidentally injured by Xu Wei in order to prevent Xu Wei from continuing to commit suicide, and died on the spot.
As soon as Xu Wei's wife died, the investigation team, which was struggling to find Xu Wei's mistakes, immediately submitted Xu Wei to the court for sentencing for homicide.
Xu Wei served a total of seven years in prison until the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and he was never released from prison.
After Xu Wei was released from prison, the film technology was also close to maturity, and the market was becoming increasingly huge. Xu Wei, who thought this thing was very novel, asked his former friends for help, formed a crew, and then started making movies.
It can only be said that genius is genius.
Xu Wei's first film was a huge success, and he regained his reputation in the country.
At that time, many investors asked Xu Wei to make a movie by name, and Xu Wei did not refuse to come, as long as he did not interfere with his filming, he could.
In this way, Xu Wei has made movies for five years and has made many good films. At that time, more and more movies were filmed, and Xu Wei's films became closer and closer to reality, reflecting on society and criticizing some of the chaos in society at that time.
This led to Xu Wei being arrested for defamation when he was making a movie in his fifth year.
At that time, fortunately, some of Xu Wei's former friends were a governor in the north at this time, so they rescued him and invited him to go north to play.
Xu Wei readily agreed to his friend's invitation, and soon after arriving in the north, under the introduction of the legendary general Qi Jiguang, he went to Liaodong to meet Li Chengliang, the commander of the Northeast Military Region.
Xu Wei, who came to the headquarters of the commander of the Northeast Military Region, did not declare his identity at first, but said that he was invited by a friend to come here to teach the art of war.
Teach the art of war to a commander who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of heroes.
As soon as Xu Wei's words came out, the people in the headquarters laughed at that time.
At that time, Li Chengliang tentatively asked Xu Wei's origin, and after Xu Wei reported his home, he immediately bowed ninety degrees to show respect.
Li Chengliang knew what the name Xu Wei represented. So after Xu Wei came to him, he handed over his eldest son Li Rusong to Xu Wei and asked Xu Wei to teach Li Rusong the art of war.
Many years later, Li Rusong led his army to defeat the Penglai army, which was known as the strongest combat power of the three overseas countries at that time, in Korean Province.
Whether it was Li Chengliang or Qi Jiguang, they all wanted Xu Wei to stay by their side at that time. But Xu Wei has already fallen in love with movies. So after he finished teaching Li Rusong, he left Liaodong and returned to the south to shoot movies.
However, under the pressure of the imperial court at that time, no businessmen were willing to invest in Xu Wei, so Xu Wei could only sell his property and sell his calligraphy and paintings to raise money to shoot movies.
Although most of these films were not released at the time, the evaluation of Xu Wei by the later rebel military government was indeed unprecedentedly high.
In 1593, Xu Wei finished filming the last work of his life, and then died of illness at home, accompanied by only a dog.
Damn!
After reading Xu Wei's introduction, he suddenly wanted to ask Xu Wei if he also had a talking cat.
This experience is simply a template!
The identity and abilities that he obtained by relying on Da Meow are not much better than Xu Wei.
Everyone else is the king of soldiers who returns to the city and then makes a name for themselves.
Xu Wei was a scholar who dominated the literary world, gave up his pen and followed Rong, and then became a legendary commander, returning to the city and becoming a film master.
One person has finished being the protagonist of three parts!
