Chapter 101
After waiting for so long, I finally waited for this day. Only now do I understand why the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are difficult to write.
First of all, because the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were indeed very chaotic. The five regimes in the Central Plains were short and had no accumulation and precipitation. To put it bluntly, if they were not in the Central Plains, history would not have recorded them.
In the ten surrounding countries, some do not even have historical books, and many people and things have not been recorded. When writing, they rely entirely on the author's guess and imagination.
In such an era, many modern people cannot imagine it. Some people think that the Song Dynasty is very weak, but they do not know that there is a saying that the Song Dynasty was the beginning of modern civilization.
The power of the Tang Dynasty made China prosperous for a while, and civilizations around the world awakened one after another. Since ancient times, China has governed the world with Confucianism. In the pre-Qin period, the main advocates Confucianism, which is not unreasonable.
During the Five Dynasties, warriors were in power. Without the constraints of benevolence, righteousness and morality, it was difficult for the country to maintain long-term stability, so the dynasties continued to change.
Guo Wei began to pay attention to literati and reignite the spark of civilization. The dynasty was finally stable. It’s a pity that Guo Wei and Chai Rong were both too short-lived.
Influenced by the two, Zhao Kuangyin deduced the harmony. Although the Song Dynasty was not perfect, it had a national destiny of three hundred years, which was already rare.
So I named it the Song Dynasty, intending to show a different Song Dynasty. The first half of this book echoes history, and the second half is all empty.
For the long-term stability of the country, the protagonist will not think of Zhao Kuangyin, who value culture and over military affairs, nor will he be like some kings who are fighting for military affairs.
The first volume mainly describes the growth of the protagonist, and the main characters appear one after another. From 940 to 948, the protagonist went from 12 to 20 years old, and the location from the Central Plains to the Southern Tang Dynasty. This is the main stage.
As for other regions, the protagonists will come one after another. As the story takes place, there will be many characters and many stories in the future.
The protagonist of the second volume enters the army and begins to show himself, contacts the struggle for power, matures in conspiracy, and grows in tricks.
It can be put on the shelves if it exceeds 200,000 words, but I have been waiting until today. I am now unknown, but I don’t want to give up. I hope everyone can support me when they see this.
I have always wanted to find a feeling that is unpredictable and unspeakable.
