On the issue of rebellion
Personally, I am actually a Song Hei, after all, Jing Kang and the three heroes of the Zhao family are too bad, plus Yue Wumu's matter, I don't like the Zhao Song Dynasty very much emotionally.
To be exact, I don't like all feudal dynasties, whether it's Qin, Han, Tang and Ming, or Song, Liao, Yuan, and Qing, I don't like them.
Whether it is the ruler of the feudal dynasty or the emperor, basically few people regard the common people as human beings.
As an ordinary person, it is difficult to empathize with them.
In fact, before the start of this book, I was going to write Tianxian Menghualu, and the name Menghualu reminded me of the Tokyo Menghualu book of the Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao.
This was originally written in the period of Song Huizong, and then a Jingkang, everything was destroyed, Zhao Song Emperor Ji was plundered, Tokyo City was sacked, I don't sympathize with Zhao Song's Emperor Ji, and I don't sympathize with Emperor Huiqin II, as the ruler and beneficiary of the country, they made the country like this, no matter how they were treated, they all deserved it.
But I sympathize with the common people in the north who have suffered from the war and just want to live well, but because of the collapse of the empire, the desire of those in power and the lack of clear understanding of the situation, it has led to the attack of the enemy country and the invasion of foreign races.
The country is ruined, the family is ruined, life and death are parted, and all kinds of human tragedies are happening in front of us.
Are they wronged?
Injustice!
Is Yue Wu wronged?
Also wronged!
Encountering such crumbs in the world as Zhao Gou, it's too damn wronged!
Is Kim Country strong?
Strong, in just a dozen years, they destroyed Liao and attacked Song, and the two most powerful empires in the world were destroyed by them.
But is the country of Kim weak?
is also weak, with the death of the founding generation of the Wanyan family, the Jin State quickly degenerated, and was pressed and beaten by the Southern Song Dynasty in the back, if it weren't for Zhao Gou's waste, where would it be useless to wait until 1234 Jin Guo was destroyed.
So before Menghualu came out of this TV series, I always thought that the story was set in the Fengheng Yu period of Song Huizong, and I was also preparing for this, if it was that era, I would inevitably rebel!
I don't even think about it!
But no.
When I saw the heroine Chang in the first episode, I chuckled in my heart, damn, it won't be Liu E.
Sure enough, the story is set in the Song Zhenzong period.
This disrupted my preparations.
So much so that the book has dragged on until now.
It just so happened that during that time, I kept watching the history of the Song Dynasty, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that during the Song Zhenzong period, the Song Dynasty happened to be in a period of transition.
From the founding of the Song Dynasty to determine the direction of national development, to the pacification of the south by Song Taizong and the start of the war with the Liao State, and finally to the signing of the Yuanyuan Alliance between Song Zhenzong and the Liao State, the two countries began to develop in full force.
The Song Dynasty during this period was at a special turning point.
That is, the time period when the country moves from war to peace, and the common people begin to live and work in peace and contentment.
Is it hard to rebel?
It's honestly not that hard.
But is it difficult to succeed in the rebellion?
It's really hard!
The rebellions of all dynasties and dynasties, the comparison of success and failure, the contrast is too tragic.
Of course, some readers will say, you have a double door, how can it be difficult to rebel?
But I still have to say, even with a double door, it's still hard to rebel, especially if you're facing a centralized empire that has just finished a twenty-five year war.
How weak Zhao Song is, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is still there.
At that time, more than ten years had passed since the largest uprising in the early Song Dynasty, Wang Xiaobo's uprising.
At that time, the Shu land, which was alienated from the Zhao and Song dynasties, gradually recognized them under Zhang Yong's governance.
It's not difficult to rebel during this time period, but it's too difficult to succeed!
I personally estimate that the preparation time alone will take more than ten years!
What is the concept of ten years?
In ancient times, fifteen years old was a generation.
This is only the preparation time, not to mention the time from the beginning of the rebellion to the success of the rebellion, which I personally expect to take at least about 15 years.
Co-authored my protagonist traveled through ancient times, just for a rebellion for twenty-five years?!
It's not a good deal!
What's more, the rebellion at that point in time was not a good thing for the people who had just stabilized.
There are more gentle ways to deal with some problems, so why use extreme measures?
Therefore, after it was determined that this book was from the period of the Shinshu, I did not think about rebellion, and I have discussed this point with others, and most of the people who felt that rebellion was inappropriate.
So for readers who want to see the rebellion, I'm sorry, this will not change.
Another reason why I didn't write about rebellion is that this is the first time I've written a serious historical essay, and many aspects are very immature and I need to explore it myself, so I can't handle such a big thing as rebellion, so I don't dare to write it, so I can only write it little by little in a peaceful environment.
Even in the war scenes, I was a little panicked.
Of course, I will try my best to show you what I want to write, whether it is Zhao Paner, Liu E, or the Liao State or the Western Xia, which was still a difficult army at that time, I will write it well.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you.
