There is such a fairy tale called.

The story goes of a soldier who used an old tin spoon to make twenty-five soldiers made of tin. They were all brothers, because they were all cast from an old tin spoon. They had Mausers on their shoulders and their eyes were looking straight ahead. Their uniforms are half red and half blue, but very beautiful. They stay in a box. As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the first thing they heard in the world was: "Tin soldiers! ”

The main character in the story is the 25th tin soldier, and when he is made, the tin is no longer enough, and when this staunch tin soldier is made, he is missing a leg.

The tin soldiers were shouted out by the child, and today is his birthday, and these tin soldiers are a gift he received.

The child is also the protagonist in the story.

Every child may have a dream of collecting tin soldier toys and then directing them to march and fight, and William is the child who received the tin soldier from Hans Christian Andersen.

After collecting the tin soldiers, they can't help but start arranging troops on the sand table of the map, directing them to charge traps, and dividing the army into red and blue sides, and then can't help but have the idea of "expanding the army".

Duke William's father, Duke Robert, once fought with the elves of the secret forest, the elves awakened the treants in the forest, gathered the centaur army, and commanded the beast army to fight the human knights.

If it is the fairies who can naturally give life and wisdom to the tree people, William can awaken the tin soldiers, but he can't let them become normal human soldiers, commanding them to fight, unless they are given magic powers.

Later, after traveling away from Avalon, William obtained a magic horn and backpack that could summon soldiers, and he was able to command a large army to win the war, and he thought he was happy.

But when you actually have this magic item, you know that this is not a war game that you played as a child, and it is not that the more soldiers you have, the better.

Seven brave soldiers can be summoned with just a pat on their backpacks, but they are not seven toy soldiers who don't need to eat or drink, they are beings with wisdom, wishes, and life.

As an exiled prince, with no kingdom and no treasure, if he can't work hard and earn money in his adventures, how can he feed these soldiers who are staring at him and waiting to be fed.

A soldier's profession is that of a soldier, and as a soldier who is not productive, they are loyal and brave in battle, but they all count on you, as the commander, to provide them with food and food.

You can eat and sleep on your own, you can be high-spirited, and you can be at ease alone.

After all, you are the son of the wandering prince, the great hero Hercules, and the fairy Heber, and you will never starve.

However, when you return to your camp, you will see that the soldiers you have summoned have run away, and only a small number of them have not returned.

Q: Where are the soldiers who haven't run yet?

The soldiers in the camp replied that the rest of the soldiers were still digging wild vegetables in the mountains.

As for the reason, as a commander, if you don't raise your army, you will run away, and if you don't run, if you don't figure it out yourself, you will starve to death a long time ago.

As for your beloved horse, it has long been boiled and eaten by the soldiers.

Otherwise, when you come back, you won't see the rest of the soldiers.

William, as a brave man, once rejected the establishment of power from the bottom of his heart, because in order to maintain a force, he had to find a way to maintain the operation of the organization, and he needed to feed his soldiers and people.

Medieval dukes and kings lived in stone castles built on the hills, cold in winter and hot in summer, not only the living experience, but also the food was not as good as the prisoners of a prison.

In the Middle Ages, the French did not bathe, and there were no perfect sewer measures, and every day you could see urine stains everywhere in the corners of the castle walls, and living in the castle was like living near the toilet.

William didn't understand why his future self, Duke William, became a conqueror, he saw soldiers who had changed from tin soldier toys to life-size soldiers, and in their eyes he could see many emotions such as longing, hope, and fear, and they were not lifeless magic props, but living beings.

Everyone looked at him as if they were opening their big mouths in a bird's nest, just like looking at their mother bird, a little finch waiting to be fed.

"Richard, it's a quick fix, I can't afford to raise them, I really can't afford to raise them!"

William looked at the soldiers in Crusader uniforms, and soon filled the quota of nearly five hundred soldiers, although the magic could still be maintained, he could no longer bear this weight.

If in the world of the Godslayer, Erica and Liliana took the initiative to send their allegiance to the door, if it wasn't for King Arthur's insistence, he would definitely not want to accept the allegiance of the Italian Magic Society.

"That's not enough!"

King Richard the Lionheart pursed his lips, his eyes were full of disdain, just this amount, this is here to fight, or to go on an outing, even if it is an armed parade, this number is still too small.

"It's miserable."

William reluctantly continued to take out the Crusader tin soldiers, touched his magic pocket, and found that the Crusader tin soldiers were running out of toys, and the rest were soldiers in the uniforms of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, and thought about using them to pretend to be crusaders.

Every day when he woke up, there were nearly a thousand mouths waiting to be fed, and William felt a headache, after all, he was not the future Duke of William, and there was no one in the dukedom to feed him.

Seriously, he really can't bear this kind of pinning everyone's fate on himself.

"It's you miserable, or the soldiers who put their fate and faith on you, it's even worse." Lionheart said.

The brave and the king, the knight and the lord are two different professions, and in any case the fate of the whole country, the whole people is to be weighed on their shoulders.

This change in mentality is not something that can be done all at once, perhaps Duke William can bear the fate of his country without any psychological burden when he grows up, and can let his knights die for him, but now William is too immature.

"Do you think I'm weak?" William said in a deep voice.

"Kindness is definitely not weakness, you just worry too much, but you can't change anything, the future Duke William will definitely not become an evil dragon because of his fall, but because he became an evil dragon out of his own will, that is because he has a goal that he wants to become an evil dragon and wants to accomplish."

Richard the Lionheart said slowly, "Actually, I have also been confused about this kind of thing, hesitant about what I want to do, I don't know if it's right, my ancestor, King Arthur has a saying in the legend that doesn't understand people's hearts."

The reason is that although King Arthur defended Britain, his behavior became more and more ruthless. In order to raise military expenses, it was necessary to requisition village supplies and collect heavy taxes, and many villagers were ruined and killed. In order to win the final war, we must choose to sacrifice the minority at the critical moment and achieve the majority; She annihilated the enemy army efficiently, but she became more and more ruthless and impersonal. She kills her enemies efficiently, and she doesn't hesitate to choose the majority when making a decision, because for every time she squeezes a village, she can win the battle of defending ten villages.

There is a proverb in England that the big value in law can absorb the small value, which in politics is what Bentham called utilitarianism.

In order to accomplish my crusades, defend the Church, and liberate the Holy Land, I levied all kinds of Saladin taxes in my French and English territories, sold official titles, extorted extortion, and at one point tried to auction off London, all in order to carry out my goals.

This is the value of the big, at the expense of the small value, and the small value is also included in the big value.

It's not that King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts, it's that King Arthur can't understand people's hearts. William, the reason why you are confused and pacing is precisely because of your responsibility, your sense of responsibility makes you unable to have your own selfish desires, after making the most rational judgment, everything revolves around that goal, for the overall good of your own kingdom, if the judgment contains personal feelings, it will not be able to make the decision completely correct and completely beneficial to the country.

My goal was the Crusades, and all my decisions revolved around it, and I sacrificed a lot, and Robert the Duke of Normandy mortgaged his country for the Crusades in exchange for military expenses.

I am not without feelings, for it is impossible for a man without feelings to govern the kingdom and not to be loved by the people. King Arthur and I, King Lionheart, both have feelings. ”

King Richard the Lionheart said slowly, he can understand King Arthur, and he can also understand Duke William, who has become an evil dragon, thinking that the two are the same, in fact, the future Duke William and King Arthur actually fell out.

In the Indian epic, the five sons of Pandu learn archery with the difficult enemy.

Instructor Drona asked them to target the eye of a pottery bird in a tree 1,000 paces away and shoot the bird in the eye. The teacher asked them what they saw.

"I saw a mango tree 1,000 steps away, and on the 100th branch from the root of the tree there was a small pottery bird with red eyes," Jian Zhan said. But the bird will fall, and then it will hit the ant nest next to the root of the tree, and it will crush a lot of ants. ”

The enemy said, "Master, I have seen that bird, and it is impossible for a bow and arrow to shoot that far!" ”

Arjuna said, "I can only see the red eyes on the bird's head. ”

Jian Zhan is the elder brother of the five sons of Pandu, the future Wheel Saint King, and the only one among his brothers who has become a god in the flesh.

He is undoubtedly a benevolent man, with a very keen insight, and it is precisely because he can feel the pain of others that he hesitates and hesitates.

His words even question the legitimacy of his goals, and he also suspects that his own incompetence will lead to hurting others in the process of achieving his goals, and he sees the entire environment as a kingdom.

Arjuna said, "When I aimed my bow and arrow at the bird, I saw only its eyes, and I could not see the rest—neither the king, nor the tree, nor even the bird itself." ”

Drona asked Arjuna to shoot, and then Arjuna shot an arrow, and the bow and arrow passed through the bird's eye, and the pottery bird did not fall, let alone harm the kingdom of the forest.

"You are afraid that you will not be able to let them win the battle, you doubt that you cannot shoulder the fate of the country and the world, and you do not have the courage to be happy for your loved ones, because you are afraid of your future."

After Richard the Lionheart finished speaking, William was silent, in a word, he did have such a concern.

Even if you comfort yourself, as long as you move forward firmly, but as a lone ranger, you have infinite strength and courage, so you are fearless no matter what.

But as a collective leader, it is inevitable that you will be uneasy.

"Do not evade problems and responsibilities, do not give up pursuit and efforts. Don't question the goal. At the same time, the most important thing is to trust your peers as much as you trust yourself. King Arthur's legacy was not created by her alone, but by her and her Knights of the Round Table. ”

"William, bear the weight of a soldier's life and make your sword and personal courage disappear? It's just that I want to tell you that the so-called leading soldiers to war is not the soldiers entrusting their lives to you, but their own lives to their subordinates. ”

"What you don't want to do and what you can't do are two different things, let me teach you how to fight now. It's a bit presumptuous, but I don't think I'll lose my skills in war to William the Conqueror. ”

After Richard the Lionheart finished speaking, a white horse galloped from afar and appeared in front of him, he jumped up and rode on horseback and shouted to the soldiers, "The soldiers are leaving!" ”

"Long live King Arthur!"
