PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "13524195877" and "Zhao Shangjun", and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^
Li Kui is like this, and others are more polite: for example, Wu Yong and Hua Rong saw that Song Jiang and others were killed, not only did they not think about revenge, but hanged themselves! If they are all such self-blaming and self-disciplined gentlemen, how could they gather righteousness in the mountains and forests in the first place? Why gather righteous mountains and forests?
In the last fifty episodes of "Ancient Books", although Liang Shan is disciplined, he can't hide the green forest spirit of the hero. For example, in the 110th chapter, "several maids and servants who fell to the ground, two incense Taoists, a little Taoist boy, and an elder of Qingxiu, all killed with one axe and two axes, and the corpses in the temple were in a mess, blood flowed all over the ground, and the lights were miserable." Li Kui here "kills every person", reproducing Li Kui in the first 70 episodes who "killed corpses everywhere without asking about officers and people".
And the revenge of the heroes of Liangshan has also become more and more intense, bloody and thrilling. In order to avenge Lin Chong, the heroes of Liangshan used a trick to kill Gao Yanei, who went to Yizhou for pleasure but hollowed out his body and was sick and sought medical treatment, Lin Chong made his head into a urinal, such a plot may make some modern people tremble. However, from the standpoint of a hero in the green forest, it is indeed a relief.
Third, because one hundred and eight generals have all gone up the mountain, there is no plot of forcing people to go up the mountain in the last fifty episodes of the "Ancient Book", but Song Jiang's strategy of hurting the innocent in order to win the overall victory is still used several times. For example, in the 107th round, Song Jiang sent people to nearby villages to "loot and set fires, and pull people into service", leaving many people homeless and even freezing to death in the city. These tactics are the same as those of the previous seventy episodes.
These brutal and realistic depictions. The last fifty episodes of "Ancient Books" are also full of strong "Water Margin" atmosphere, and a high degree of unity has been reached with the first seventy episodes, and it is hard to imagine who else can achieve a little except Shi Nai'an
In addition, some people pointed out some details in the Hundred Times, such as the fact that the court sent more than 100,000 troops in the last 30 times, which was completely inconsistent with the actual situation of the Song Dynasty at that time, and it suddenly increased by more than 10 times the scale of the previous battle, and what is even more ridiculous is that so many soldiers were easily defeated again and again by the Liangshan Rebels, who had to rely on strange tricks to fight the state capital before, and the war plot was far less reasonable than the first 70 times.
But then again. Luo Guanzhong was originally the same as the vast majority of literati in ancient times. has always liked to exaggerate the strength of troops, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" often exaggerates the number of participants in the history of various battles by several times or even more than ten times, which is completely different from Shi Nai'an, who is well versed in military affairs, in "Water Margin" (but the military generals single-handedly this traditional program that the ancient Chinese people like to see is still retained) to describe the war realistically, and the latter is also one of the keys to "Water Margin" becoming a classic
At the same time that readers who like "Ancient Books" support it. The supporters of the hundred return books also did not show weakness to find all kinds of reasons to fight back. This was the beginning of the first great discussion after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since there was no Internet at this time, the traditional paper media newspaper became the main battle.
At the beginning of the controversy, it gained the upper hand because there were many old literati who were good at mouth cannons among the supporters of the hundred editions. At this time, however, Hu Weidong suggested that the central authorities had set a very important rule for the discussion, that is, it was only allowed to "lay out facts and reason." Violators will be banned from publishing articles in newspapers for a specified period of time, and if articles with such problems appear in newspapers and are reported, the newspaper will also be investigated and rectified.
In this way, those people who talk about cannons will be dumbfounded, if they know how to "seek truth from facts", they will not only know how to talk about cannons when they encounter problems. In particular, at this time, there were still many private newspapers, which were dealt a heavy blow, because those newspapers were for-profit, and it would be strange if they were closed down for rectification at every turn, and it would be strange if they did not lose money, and you must know that after the founding of New China, due to the existence of trade unions, even if all kinds of enterprises and institutions were closed, the wages of employees (bonuses and benefits could be suspended) still had to continue to be paid a lot
As a result, the supporters of "Guben Water Margin" quickly gained the upper hand in the big discussion, and with the publication of a large number of "Guben Water Margin", the total number of readers who were much more than the previous Water Margin readers gradually formed, and after their preconceived impression was formed, the concept that "Guben Water Margin" is the original Water Margin has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The discussion method advocated by Hu Weidong has not only affected this matter, but has also become one of the important principles that must be followed in all future public discussions in China
This has also had a collateral effect, that is, private newspapers have closed down one after another, and public newspapers have naturally gained a larger share, which is conducive to the party and the government to further strengthen the supervision and guidance of public opinion, and the negative impact on "freedom of speech" is always smaller than a direct ban on private newspapers. After all, everyone knows that "seeking truth from facts" is correct, and even those who talk about it are not good to stalk their necks and say that "seeking truth from facts" is wrong
Moreover, through this method, those people outside the party who are relatively more realistic are more valued, and their opinions are pertinent and of practical significance, which has played a significant positive role in the construction of New China. Those who do not seek truth from facts are left out in the cold, and their fallacies do not have much impact, so as not to cause an overreaction within the party. In addition, the Red Party in this time and space had already begun to train civilian cadres in advance during the Anti-Japanese War, and the current talent pool is much thicker than in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in history, and its dependence on the old literati is relatively small. Under the combined influence of these factors, the nationwide anti-rightist campaign in this time and space has become unnecessary, and naturally there will be no more unjust cases and tragedies caused by expansion
However, this brought some trouble to Hu Weidong himself, and some guys who hated him suggested very badly: "Since Comrade Hu Weidong also has such profound insights into literature and art, it is better to simply let him take charge of this work." In their minds, people always have flaws, no matter how capable Hu Weidong is, he won't even be proficient in literature and art, right? As long as he doesn't do well at that time, everyone will have a chance to fall into the well, and it is said that letting people do the work they are not good at is a trick to be done (to be continued......
