There is such a fairy tale in the book called.
The story tells that someone used an old tin spoon to make twenty-five tin soldiers. They are all brothers because they were both cast from an old tin spoon. They had muskets on their shoulders and looked 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 lifted, the first words they heard in the world were: "Tin soldier!"
The protagonist in the story is the 25th Tin Soldier. When he was made, tin was no longer enough. When this determined Tin Soldier was made, there was one missing leg.
Tin soldiers were called by the child. Today is his birthday, and these tin soldiers are a gift he got.
The child is also the main character in the story.
Every child may have a dream of collecting tin soldier toys and then commanding them to march and fight. William was the child who received the tin soldiers sent by Andersen.
After collecting the tin soldiers, I couldn't help but start arranging the troops on the map's sand table, commanding them to charge into the traps, and dividing the army into red and blue sides. Then I couldn't help but have the idea of "expanding the army."
Duke William's father, Duke Robert, once fought with the elves in the secret forest. The elves awakened the tree people in the forest, summoned the centaur army, and commanded the beast army to fight against the human knights. Those items that were given life by magic, even scraps. He also has the ability to be awakened to life.
If the fairies can naturally give life and wisdom to the tree people, William can awaken the tin soldiers, but he cannot make them become normal human soldiers and command them to fight unless they are given magical powers.
Later, when William traveled away from Avalon, he got the magic horn and backpack that could summon soldiers, and he was able to command a massive army to win the war, and he felt happy.
But when I actually had this magic prop, I knew that this was not the war game I played as a child, nor was it that the more soldiers under my command, the better.
Just pat the backpack to summon seven brave soldiers. However, they are not seven toy soldiers who do not need to eat or drink. They are living lives with wisdom, desire and desire.
As an exiled prince, he has no kingdom and no treasure. If he can't work hard and make money on adventures, how can he feed these soldiers who are looking at him eagerly and waiting for food.
Soldiers' profession is to be soldiers. As soldiers who are not engaged in production, they are loyal, brave and good at fighting. However, they all count on you, as the commander, to provide them with food and provisions.
You can eat and sleep in the open air by yourself, you can be upright and upright, and you can be carefree and at ease alone.
After all, you are the wandering prince, the son of the great hero Heracles and the nymph Hebe, so you will never starve to death.
However, when you return to your camp, you see that almost all the soldiers you summoned have run away, and only a small number of them have not returned.
Ask where the soldiers who haven't run away are?
The soldiers in the camp replied that the remaining soldiers were still digging wild vegetables in the mountains.
As for the reason, as a commander, if you don't support your army, those who run away will run away, and those who don't run away will have starved to death long ago if you don't find a solution on your own.
As for your beloved horse, it has been cooked and eaten by the soldiers a long time ago.
Otherwise, you won’t see the remaining soldiers when you come back.
As a brave man, William once rejected the establishment of a force from the bottom of his heart, because in order to maintain a force, he had to find ways to maintain the operation of the organization and feed his soldiers and people.
Dukes and kings in the Middle Ages lived in stone castles built on mountains. The winters were cold and the summers were hot. Not only the living experience, but also the food was not as good as that of prisoners in a prison.
In the Middle Ages, no one in France took a bath, and there was no perfect sewer system. You could see urine stains everywhere in the corners of the castle every day. Living in a castle was like living near a toilet.
William didn't understand why his future self, Duke William, would become a conqueror. He saw the soldiers transformed from tin soldier toys into life-size soldiers. In their eyes, he could see longing, hope, fear and many other emotions. It was not that they were without them. Magic props of life, but living creatures.
Everyone looked at him as if he were opening his big mouth in a bird's nest, just like looking at his mother bird, a chick waiting to be fed.
"Richard, make a quick decision, we can't support them, we really can't support them!"
William looked at the soldiers in Crusader uniforms, and soon filled the quota of nearly five hundred soldiers. Although the magic power could still be maintained, he could no longer bear the weight.
If in the world of God Killers, Erica and Liliana took the initiative to offer their allegiance, King Arthur would never want to accept the allegiance of the Italian magic society if it weren't for King Arthur's insistence.
"That alone is not enough!"
Richard the Lion-Hearted curled his lips, his eyes full of disdain. With this number, whether they were here to fight or have an outing, even for an armed parade, this number was still too small.
"It's too awful."
William helplessly continued to take out the Crusaders Tin Soldiers, touched his magic pocket, and found that there were not many Crusaders Tin Soldiers toys left, and the rest were soldiers in uniforms of the Hundred Years War between England and France. He thought about using them to pretend to be Crusaders.
Every day when he wakes up, there are nearly a thousand mouths waiting for food, and William feels a headache. After all, he is not the future Duke William yet, and there is no dukedom to support him.
To be honest, he really couldn't bear to place everyone's fate on himself.
"Which is worse for you, or the soldiers who have placed their fate and faith on you," said the Lionheart King.
Warriors and kings, knights and lords are two different professions. No matter what, the fate of the entire country and the entire people must rest on their shoulders.
This change in mentality cannot be completed all at once. Perhaps when Duke William grows up, he can bear the fate of his country without any psychological burden, and can make his knights die for him. However, 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 certainly did not become a dragon because of his depravity, but became a dragon out of his own will. That is because he has A goal that I want to achieve even if I want to become a dragon.”
Richard the Lionheart said slowly, "Actually, I have also been confused about this kind of thing. I hesitated about what I wanted to do. I don't know if it is correct. My ancestor, King Arthur, has an unreasonable comment in the legend. .
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 supplies from the village and charge heavy taxes, which resulted in the death of many villagers; in order to win the final war, it was necessary to sacrifice the few at critical moments to achieve the majority; she efficiently annihilated the enemy, but became increasingly ruthless , impersonal. She kills enemies efficiently and chooses the majority without hesitation when making a decision, because every time she squeezes out one village's military strength, she can get the result of protecting ten villages.
There is a legal proverb in Britain, that is, in law, large values can absorb small values. In politics, it is what Bentham called utilitarianism.
In order to achieve my crusade, defend the church, and liberate the Holy Land, I levied various Saladin taxes in my French and British territories, sold my officials and conferred titles, levied excessive taxes, and once wanted to auction off London, all in order to implement my goals .
This is the big value, the small value is sacrificed, 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 stagnant is precisely because of your responsibility. Your sense of responsibility prevents you from having your own selfish desires. After making the most rational judgment, everything revolves around that goal, for your own kingdom. If the judgment contains personal emotions, the overall interests of the people will not be completely correct and completely beneficial to the country.
My goal is the Crusade, and all my decisions are centered around it. I have sacrificed a lot. Robert, Duke of Normandy, mortgaged his country for the Crusade in exchange for military expenses.
I am not without feelings, because a person without feelings cannot govern a kingdom and be loved by the people. King Arthur and I, Lionheart, both have feelings. "
Richard the Lionheart finished slowly. He could understand King Arthur, and he could also understand Duke William who turned into a dragon. He thought the two were the same. In fact, the future Duke William and King Arthur actually fell out.
In the Indian epic, the five Pandavas learn archery with Duryodhana.
The instructor Drona asked them to target the eye of a clay bird on a tree 1,000 steps away and shoot the bird's eye. The teacher asked them what they saw.
Jianzhan said: "I saw a mango tree 1,000 steps away. There was a small clay bird on the 100th branch from the root. The bird's eyes were red. But the bird would fall down, and then it would fall down. It will hit the ant nest next to the root of the tree, which will crush many ants to death."
Duryodhana said: "Master, I saw that bird. 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."
Jianzhan is the elder brother of Pandu's five sons, the future Holy King of Chakravartin, and the only one among the brothers who has become a god in the flesh.
There is no doubt that he is a benevolent person with a very keen insight. It is precisely because he can feel the pain of everyone that he hesitates and hesitates.
His words even questioned the rationality of the goal. At the same time, he also suspected that his lack of ability would cause harm to others in the process of achieving the goal. He regarded the entire environment as a kingdom.
Only Arjuna said, “When I aimed my bow at the bird, I saw only its eyes and nothing else—neither the king, nor the tree, nor even the bird itself. Can’t see.”
Drona asked Arjuna to shoot, and Arjuna's arrow hit the bird's eye. The bird did not fall, nor did it harm the kingdom of the forest.
"You are afraid that you will not be able to let them return victorious. You doubt that you cannot shoulder the fate of the country and the world. You do not have the courage to give happiness to the people you love because you are afraid of your own future."
After Richard the Lionheart finished speaking, William fell silent. It hit the mark that he did have such a worry.
Even if you comfort yourself, as long as you move forward firmly, as a lone ranger, you have infinite strength and courage, so you have nothing to fear no matter what.
But as a collective leader, it is inevitable to feel uneasy.
"Don't evade problems and responsibilities, don't give up pursuit and effort. Don't question the goal. At the same time, the most important thing is to trust your companions as you trust yourself. King Arthur's great achievements were not created by her alone, but by her and her Knights of the Round Table."
"William, has bearing the weight of a soldier's life made your sword and personal courage disappear? But I want to tell you that leading soldiers to fight does not mean that the soldiers surrender their lives to you, but that they surrender their lives to you. Deliver it to your subordinates.”
"Things you don't want to do and things you can't do are two different things. Let me teach you how to fight now. Although it's a bit presumptuous, I think my fighting ability will not be lost to that of my ancestor William the Conqueror. "
After Richard the Lionheart finished speaking, a white horse ran from afar and appeared in front of him. He jumped up and rode on the horse, cheering to the soldiers, "Soldiers set off!"
"Long live King Arthur!"
