My life skills in Daming Liver

There are many official history books in the Ming Dynasty, and there are too many official notes, as well as a large number of local chronicles, genealogy, genealogy, and document files.

As for the authenticity of these materials, I can only use one sentence to say that the authenticity of many historical materials is similar to that of our novel.

Therefore, it is true to argue the classics with historical materials of the Ming Dynasty. . .

Anyway, the historical materials I quoted can only be said to have such historical materials, but Fat Bird used them for the sake of novels. To put it bluntly, it is the words of novelists, and it is for the plot. You can judge for yourself how authentic it is.

So if I write about major historical events in the future, I will post the source of the historical materials, so that everyone can read it for themselves and choose what they believe.

Let me just say that you may not understand this, so I will just talk about one thing mentioned in the article-Jizhen mutiny.

To put it simply, there was a discord between the soldiers of the north and the south, and Wang Bao, the chief soldier of Ji Town, slaughtered the Qi family army.

I cite this incident in the book to illustrate the corruption of Ming Dynasty.

But, this matter actually has a lot of room for analysis.

The first is the number of massacres. According to the Korean history book "Pyongyang Records of Two Dynasties", Wang Bao killed "thousands and three hundred people".

"Ming History, Wang Bao Biography" records "hundreds of people".

The number of people in several Ming notes is "four to five thousand", which is almost the entire number of southern soldiers fighting in the north at that time.

But Wang Bao himself wrote "one hundred and thirty people" in the Tang newspaper to the imperial court, and in the letters he wrote to his friends later.

If you look at it, you will know the problem. If it is according to the current popular saying, it is that Wang Bao killed all Qi's army.

If the minimum number is 130, then some southern soldiers mutinied, and Wang Bao submitted a letter to the court, and the chief culprits were sent to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation before they were killed. It is also very likely that some soldiers mutinied.

So readers are asked to judge, is this a mutiny in part of the Qi family army's barracks? Or did Wang Bao massacre all Qi's troops because he didn't want to pay the army for selfish reasons?

In fact, if you ask me, I personally think that Wang Bao did not pay the reward from the court, and the battle has already been fought.

Let's not analyze it from other places, but only from the perspective of responsibility, Wang Bao's argument that he killed soldiers to save money at this time is actually not very tenable, and it can even be said that this reason is very strange.

You are a department manager who leads the team building of your subordinates back. Because of the large amount of reimbursement for team building expenses, you decide to fire all the staff under your command.

Do you think this is reasonable? In fact, it is not very reasonable.

But my book is going to rebel, so I said a common saying in Ming history, in fact, I am right, right?

The meaning of this sentence is not to let everyone completely fall into historical nihilism, but to say that many things in this world are not clearly discussed by the parties involved, and it is really meaningless for modern people to debate classics.

And what is the harvest of this event for future generations? That is, in any political event, the difference in the number of people will be fundamentally different, and the offensive power of taking it out of context is quite large.

If there is a conflict with the historical documents that everyone recognizes, those who understand should smile, let me go, and beg for mercy!

Thank you Fat Bird for your continued pursuit of the book, and I will continue to write with a more rigorous attitude, reduce the text of preaching, and add more interesting plots, thank you all.
