The two major writing routines of historical novels: female generals chase after the male protagonist, and historical loyalists become villains

In historical novels, authors often like to play with two writing routines, and they can often be seen in many classical historical novels, which can be described as the best play of Ming and Qing novels, whether it is the story plot or the result is basically in accordance with a way, but the development details are only some differences. These novels such as "Sui and Tang Dynasty Yanyi", "Xing Tang Biography", "Luo Tong Sweeping North", "Xue Dingshan Zhengxi", "Qin Ying Zhengxi", "Yang Jiajian", etc., so which two writing routines are they? And listen to the repentance continue:

The first routine is that the female general is beautiful, falls in love with the enemy male general (the male protagonist) on the battlefield, and then begins to chase the male general backwards.

Of course, this routine has successes and failures. Successful such as Mu Guiying in "Yang Jia General", Yang Zongbao on Mu Kezhai to ask for the dragon wood, the result mu Guiying did not give, the two sides fought, in the big war, Mu Guiying looked at Yang Zongbao, took it up the mountain to reveal his heart, secretly promised to rest assured, and later Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao finally became dependents; and Fan Lihua in "Xue DingShan Expedition to the West", Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua were also hostile forces, Xue Dingshan attacked the city, Fan Lihua defended the city, the two sides fought, Fan Lihua looked at Xue Dingshan, began to chase Xue Dingshan, and finally became a family.

Failures such as, "Luo Tong Sweeps the North" of the butcher princess chased Luo Tong, the two are also hostile forces, when the two competed, the butcher princess also looked at Luo Tong, but unfortunately the butcher princess had accidentally killed Luo Tong's brother Luo Ren, making Luo Tong grumpy, on the wedding night, Luo Tong refused to slaughter the furnace princess, the butcher furnace princess died of her own heart; in the "Xingtang Biography" of the crescent moon, the new moon e defeated many heroes of Wagang, and then to the king Bo Dang, so much in love with Wang Bodang and did not kill him, and as long as Wang Bodang married her, crescent moon e was willing to sacrifice the city, Wang Bodang agreed. Later, in order to sacrifice the city, Xinyue'e betrayed her brother and sister-in-law, causing her brother and sister-in-law to commit suicide. Just when Crescent Moon E thought that she could fly with Wang Bodang, Wang Bodang thought that New Moon E was unfaithful, unjust, and filial, and before New Moon E could react, Wang Bo Dang killed New Moon E.

The second routine is to set off the glorious image of a hero protagonist, not hesitate to tamper with history, and render decent historical celebrities into big villains without compromise.

There are many such examples, such as Pan Mei in "Yang JiaJian", Pan Mei was the founding father of the Northern Song Dynasty, and made great achievements for the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty. Historically, Pan Mei did not have any hatred for the Yang family, but instead admired Yang Jiye very much. In a battle, Pan Mei mistakenly believed Wang Nong, which led to the defeat of the Yang family army; and in the "Yang Family General", it was tampered with as Pan Renmei (Pan Mei) and Yang Jiye had a vendetta (the revenge of killing the son), so Pan Renmei was everywhere difficult for the Yang family, and in the Battle of Jinshatan, Pan Renmei deliberately framed the Yang family and did not send troops, so that the Yang family was defeated, and the Yang family killed and injured the male ding.

Another example is Li Daozong in "Xue JiaJun" and "Qin Ying Zhengxi", Li Daozong in Zhengshi li was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who was very modest, and made great military achievements for the unification and expansion of the Tang Dynasty, and was called Xian with Li Xiaogong. However, in these two books, Li Daozong became a typical traitorous courtier, framing Xue Rengui and trying to kill him quickly. In the book, he was also beaten by the thirteen-year-old Qin Ying and the descendants of the Sui and Tang heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Wang Ye's face was lost, and so on!
