It's been more than four months since the book was opened, and I've been immersed in the thinking of updates and plots, about the deeper logic under the plot of this book, which has caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, as well as the confusion and interrogation of many book friends. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info take a moment to explain your thoughts on this book so far. Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be a change in the thinking of the writing in the future, but so far, there is a potential thread in the thread.

Up to now, there are many flaws, some of which are limited by their own pen power, and some are deviations in their thinking, so I will not list them one by one. Today I will mainly talk about the logic of the protagonist's own behavior, and I will take time to talk about other things later.

There are many enthusiastic book lovers who have put forward their opinions, such as that you should explode the army, that you should farm, that you should engage in system building, and so on. But until now, the protagonist seems to have been immersed in political struggles and profit-making, which seems to deviate very far from the theme of the Northern Expedition, and also violates the expectations of many book friends for the development of the plot. But under this series of behaviors, there is actually a core goal, that is, to control the economy.

The economy as I understand it is not only about financial behavior and market transactions, but about the current situation of the mode of production, flow and distribution of wealth in the whole society. Under such a definition, the concept of economy can cover a wide range of contents, which can directly affect changes in the political pattern, can indirectly stimulate cultural prosperity, and is also the firmest foundation for military construction.

Through economic efforts, the protagonist can infiltrate influence into all levels of the current situation, and the purpose is never simply to accumulate wealth, such a pattern, if it is still small, I really don't know what kind of pattern is a big pattern.

The Northern Expedition is a grand proposition, because the Wuhu Rebellion itself was not a simple defeat of the Han people in the war, but had extremely complex and profound social causes, and it was not a simple event or a certain aspect that could be clearly discussed. For those who don't recognize this, it is easy for the works to fall into the style of the anti-Japanese war drama of tearing the devil by hand, rendering the misery of the Han people in the north with heavy ink and color, and trying their best to incite national sentiments.

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with emphasizing nationalism, but if we are too obsessed with it, it's hard to write a more comprehensive picture of the times. As an author, I don't want to make money by stirring up anger, and while it's effective, it's not what I want to be in the state of writing. Life never pushes people to the point where they have no way out, and most people's despair is simply a fear of bearing the consequences they need to face after making a choice. In fact, each of us can choose a lifestyle that suits us better, and we don't think so......

The Northern Expedition was a grand proposition, and military victory was only one aspect. Talking about this topic in the group last night, I said a point of view, the reason why it is difficult to retain and consolidate the fruits of victory in the previous Northern Expeditions of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is because it is impossible to come up with a benefit distribution plan that satisfies the owners of the Northern Dock Wall. In other words, the social causes of the Yongjia Rebellion have not yet been resolved. If this series of problems is not solved, no matter how great the military victory is, it will only be a repetition of the Northern Expedition of Huan Wen or the Northern Expedition of Liu Yu.

Therefore, my own view is that both political struggle and economic construction are indispensable prerequisites for the Northern Expedition. It is not to form a completely unified situation and to commit to the Northern Expedition, but to increase the ability of this situation to withstand variables. What is tolerance for variables? Qianqin is a typical state of inability to bear, once it fails, it collapses immediately. Without the ability to tolerate variables, even if it is strong for a while, it is just an illusion. Even if the former Qin Ping destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it would definitely not be able to avoid the tragedy of the death of the second. Because its power structure is not stable, it cannot withstand rapid expansion or failure.

The unstable power structure is characterized by the uneven distribution of interests, which cannot meet the psychological expectations of the vast majority of people. The uneven distribution of interests does not mean that the requirements are absolutely average, everyone knows how dark the broken ship of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is, and there are frequent internal and external troubles, why can it still persist for a hundred years? Because it fully satisfies the interests of the noble clan. It was destroyed because the group it had co-opted no longer had the power to protect the regime.

The process of profit-making of the protagonist is actually to provide a new way for people to obtain benefits, a new group that is different from the scholars or the poor. If this group can be embedded in the original social structure and grow, then what will be done in the future will almost always be a matter of course, because their interests are the same.

I have always felt that the most important thing for a person to succeed in a historical environment is not who he overcomes, but how many people he has enlisted. Military victory is only the most intuitive manifestation, and behind this is the deeper victory is to expand one's own camp. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the subtext is that if I suffer, there will be one in the whole world, and there will be no good end!

The crudest view of history is that of a violent flow of soldiers, and all opponents are killed. But even if it is so crude, it needs to have its own supporters, who can build a framework of interests around themselves. Force cannot completely subjugate people, but interests can only be gained. You beat someone to the point that his nose is blue and his face is swollen, he kneels and calls grandpa, and when he turns his head, he will give you a knife in the back. You give someone a million to call him grandpa, and he can call you bankrupt.

Generally speaking, this is my own way of thinking about the process of deducing history, and it is impossible to get the approval of the vast majority, but I feel that I should be able to justify myself. People need to make progress on their own, and if they have any new experiences in the future, they are willing to continue to share with you.
