Yesterday I saw Mr. Potato's comments. When it comes to the current part, it introduces too much modern technology and seems to be suspicious of hydrology.
Lotus still attaches great importance to the opinions of book friends. Here I would like to share with you the ideas for the early writing of this book.
First of all, it may be that my writing power is not enough and I did not write the difficulty of the protagonist Zuo Mengeng's opening. So much so that in the slightly bland accumulation process, there is no dangerous place that stands out.
In fact, the protagonist Zuo Mengeng can basically be regarded as a "three noes" person.
First, he has no capital.
At that time, Zuo Menggeng's identity was only the son of Du Si, and he was still the former Du Si.
Zuo Liangyu had only been in office for a few years, so the Zuo family's wealth accumulation was naturally not worth mentioning. It is impossible to spend money like water and recruit troops.
Second, he has no qualifications.
A fourteen-year-old boy, and the descendant of an ordinary military general, naturally cannot raise his arms and bow to the heroes.
Any process of achieving a great cause is a process where talents come together and play a role.
Zuo Menggeng does not have too much fame and can recruit enough talents. Of course, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were not many talents who met his requirements.
Officials such as Hou Xun, Liu Zongzhou, Qu Shishu, and Zhang Jimeng actually viewed the protagonists with a condescending attitude.
It's just that they are disappointed with current affairs and regard the protagonist as another hope for change.
Once things go wrong, they are quick to abandon the protagonist.
Third, he has no territory.
There are many rebellion articles in the late Ming Dynasty, each of which is different.
Yun Zhao, who was caught in the crossfire of Shaanxi's heroes, had room for development because the court's eyes were on those large groups of bandits.
There was also Zhao Han, who was tossing around in the high mountains of Jiangxi Province. The imperial court focused on the north and let him return to the sea, where the sea and the sky would be vast.
Zuo Mengeng is different.
The place where he made his fortune was in Linqing.
Linqing is located in western Shandong, adjacent to the canal, and is located on the North China Plain. There is no danger to defend, and it is right under the nose of the capital.
In other words, once his actions are noticed, the imperial army will arrive at night and destroy him in just a moment.
Under such circumstances, Zuo Mengeng must and can only operate cautiously while patiently waiting for the right opportunity.
This is also the reason why he asked Hou Xun to appoint officials who could protect him from wind and rain during the Chaoguan Incident.
With this protective umbrella, his actions will be protected and hidden from the eyes of the court.
The beginning of any business is undoubtedly the most difficult. The so-called road is full of blue and blue, and it is better to overcome thorns and thorns.
I also hope that through small things, I can present the growth process of a cause and a group to everyone, and outline the whole picture of the group.
Especially the transformation of the supporting characters, how they transformed from being lost in troubled times to the protagonist's comrades-in-arms, should be worth writing about.
Why do bigwigs like Hou Xun and Liu Zongzhou favor the protagonist and support his early development;
Why are officials such as Qu Shishu and Zhang Jimeng willing to act as the protagonist’s protective umbrella and agree with what he does;
Why are the powerful families such as the Liu family, Zhang family, and Geng family able to become allies of the protagonist instead of killing him;
Xu Ruolin, who is under the impact of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultural ideas, Zhang Haogu, who lives a life of debauchery, Liu Yiyuan, who has a big family but struggles to support it, Huang Zongxi, who is cynical, Zhou You who has come back from the dead, Zuo Xianmei, who is deeply poisoned by feudal ethics, and Wei, who was originally a slave. The servants want to realize the glory and wealth that they can enjoy forever for generations. Scholars such as Chen Zhi, Jiang Wei, and Wang Yun, who were once high and mighty but now fall into the dust, tenants like Zhang Yan, the old Qin leader, who are exploited and oppressed, and weeds in troubled times like Wang Xiuqin. Ordinary miserable women, the Lu brothers and sisters who have lost their parents and are all alone, and various characters who will appear one after another...
What I hope is to depict the transformation and sublimation process of characters from different classes and situations through seemingly trivial deeds.
Take Wang Xiuqin as an example.
An orphan and a widowed mother, surrounded by wolf-like prying eyes. You might be torn into pieces one day, but you still have to struggle for survival.
When Zuo Mengeng refused to let her farm, she was desperate.
But when Zuo Mengeng pointed out the direction and told her that she was actually very useful and great, the woman's self-awareness began to awaken.
I hope that in such a detailed way, I can describe the process of a group growing from scratch, from weak to strong.
As for the subsequent stage of hegemony, after completing the solid accumulation in the early stage, it is nothing but a matter of course.
Readers have seen the army building process in the early stage, and it will not be surprising that in the process of fighting many enemies later, it goes from victory to victory.
Otherwise, without such a stage, the protagonist's army will look like it popped out of the cracks in the rocks.
Readers will be very surprised when they read it later.
Why can you defeat the extremely vicious Eight Banners with the army you just raised?
Why can you, with an army like your own, be able to defeat Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong running all over the place?
It's as if someone else's army, which they fought through mountains of fire and countless battles, has become a complete joke.
In short, having said so much, this is also the first time I communicate with all my book friends. If you have any thoughts or comments, please leave a message.
I also hope that everyone can see a vivid protagonist, how to grow from a white man step by step to a leader who can lead and change the destiny of the country and the nation.
at last……
Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this beautiful occasion of the full moon night, I wish you all...
Kneel down for five consecutive times and be single to the moon!
