Water Margin set the country

Chapter 41 [-] words
From the beginning of coding on the 8th of last month to today, exactly one month, I have written [-] words.

Seeing the increasing number of words and collections every day, I am still very happy in my heart.But after writing [-] words, I still haven't come to the station, which is a bit sad.

After reaching [-] words yesterday, I took the initiative to apply for a contract, but there has been no response until now.There is a high probability that there is no hope of signing this book.

It's useless to be sad. Failure to sign a contract means that there are still many problems with this book. We should reflect on which parts are not well written enough to attract readers.

However, although there is no contract, this book will continue to be written, and there will be no eunuchs.

After all, there are still about a dozen readers reading it, and there are still a few who vote for me every day, so thank you!Your comments and recommendation votes have given me great encouragement, thank you very much!

Secondly, I regard this book as my own pen practice work, and I hope to improve my level in subsequent writing, and write better and better stories, so that the next book can be signed.Therefore, if you feel that there is anything poorly written in this book, please criticize and correct it!
"Water Margin" is the first literary work I have read, and it is also a novel I like very much. I hope I can write a different Water Margin story.According to the original plan, this book will have about 300 million words, but now it may be compressed a bit, and the number of words is no longer pursued. Try to write the plot as compactly and concisely as possible.

In addition, take this opportunity to talk about some of the more controversial topics in the Water Margin.

(I am based on the 120 chapters of the Water Margin, not Jin Shengtan's Water Margin)

The first is about the views on Zhaoan in Liangshan.

From the point of view of historical facts, Liangshan can indeed only recruit security. After all, the Song Jiang uprising in history was very small.

But according to the logic in the novel world, Liangshan can be said to be the most powerful military group in the world. It is hard to say whether it can change the dynasty. After all, it is as strong as Wagang and Li Zicheng. They may fail in the end, but there is absolutely no problem in separatism and hegemony .

If Liangshan can last until the Jin soldiers go south, it can also become an anti-Gold rebel army.It's a pity that Song Jiang couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't imagine that the land of China would undergo such earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

Taking a step back, even if Liangshan was preparing to recruit security, it was not such a recruitment method. Song Jiang’s behavior was not so much a recruitment as a surrender. The battlefield has become cannon fodder.

The ideal state of recruiting security should be to listen to the tune and not to listen to the announcement, but it is not easy to achieve this. After Liang Shan defeated Tong Guan and Gao Qi in a row, he was the most hopeful to negotiate conditions with the court, but it is a pity that Song Jiang had almost no conditions. He surrendered to the court without saying anything, and gave up a great opportunity.

The second is about the struggle between recruitment and anti-recruitment in Liangshan.

Now many self-media or Water Margin interpretations say that Liangshan actually didn't want to recruit security, it was Song Jiang who insisted on recruiting security, and finally ruined the great cause of Liangshan.I disagree with this statement.

In the early days of Liangshan, there were mainly people from the rivers and lakes. Most of these people did not have any lofty ideals, and they lived day by day.After Song Jiang went up the mountain, through continuous battles, the joining of generals such as Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, Liangshan's talent structure has changed. They are all eager to recruit.

On Liangshan, only Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were really opposed to Zhao'an, and they couldn't even form a faction. Naturally, there was no struggle between the Zhao'an faction and the anti-Zhao'an faction.As for the others, it doesn't matter whether they recruit or not, they don't think about it at all, they just follow the big brother.

Finally, it is about Song Jiang's seizure of power and his conspiracy to kill Chao Gaiyi.

I have always scoffed at conspiracy theories.

Chao Gai is definitely qualified as a loyal brother in the rivers and lakes, and he is also qualified as an ordinary lord of the cottage, but unfortunately, as the lord of Liangshan, when compared with Song Jiang, it is obvious that he is not capable enough.So as soon as Song Jiang went up the mountain, the center of power naturally shifted to him. Song Jiang did not try to steal power from Chao Gai. This process is difficult to describe as seizing power.

I also don't agree that Song Jiang killed Chao Gai.It is mentioned many times in the book that Song Jiang was really saddened by Chao Gai's death. Chapter 60 of No.[-] is entitled Tota Heavenly King Appearing in a Dream.If Song Jiang really killed Chao Gai, how could Chao Gai entrust his dream to Song Jiang.If someone insists that their own conspiracy theory is only credible if the book is not credible, then I have nothing to say.

I think all interpretations of Water Margin should be based on the original work, and you can start from the original work to open your mind, but you must not ignore the description in the original work and forcefully add conspiracy theory interpretations.

As for why Chao Gai died, it is obvious that the author wrote him to death.Because Chao Gai, as a character in the play, undertakes the mission to serve as the temporary agent of the cottage after Wang Lun's death and before Song Jiang goes up the mountain.When Song Jiang went up the mountain, Chao Gai's plot could be completed, so he was arranged to die in battle later.If Chao Gai is not dead, Song Jiang will not be able to sit as the owner of the village, and the subsequent plot will not be able to advance, so the author can only write him to death.

So much nonsense, let's go to emo for a while today, and continue to work hard to update tomorrow!
