China's chivalrous culture has a long history, from the "History" for the chivalrous biography, there have been many chivalrous cultural works in the past, wuxia, xianxia, ranger flowers blooming, to the last century, the emergence of several martial arts masters in Jingu Liangwen, but also let the development of martial arts works to a certain peak, especially Jin Yong's works, still a large number of remakes. Unlike many of the current Xian Xia works that adopt the "overhead" writing method in order to save trouble, the stories in the early martial arts works have a certain historical basis, and the characters depicted also have certain historical archetypes, such as Liang Yusheng's creation, the first new martial arts novel in the mainland, "Dragon tiger fighting Jinghua", which is about the Boxer Rebellion, and Jin Yong's archery trilogy also integrates historical events such as the Jing Kang Disaster into it, and has also become an important basis for promoting the development of the plot.
As one of Jin Yong's representative works, "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" obviously has some historical background, so in this drama you can see the turbulent pattern of the late Yuan Dynasty, and you can also see Zhu Yuanzhang, who was doing things in the Ming Sect. However, Zhu Yuanzhang in the Yitian Dragon Slayer is more portrayed as a villain, which is not ashamed of the protagonist group, especially Zhang Wuji, who is the leader of the Ming Sect, directly asks for it. This also makes people wonder whether Zhu Yuanzhang did not seek revenge on the Ming Sect after he claimed the emperor, and what kind of fate would Zhang Wujie's prototype suffer... Zhu Yuanzhang's character biography is believed to be known to many people, this cloth emperor who was born in the city, has been a monk, a beggar, and a wanderer.
And Zhu Yuanzhang in "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens" is naturally a matter before the beginning. Zhu Yuanzhang's first appearance, met the young Zhang Wuji and Yang Unrepentant, at that time he was still a monk, ugly-looking, not jealous, not a monk at all, leaving a very deep impression. However, this beef was stolen by Zhu Yuanzhang from the landlord's house, and soon, their deeds were discovered by the servants of the landlord's family, and they saw that the matter was about to be exposed, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, directly showed his weapons, forced the two servants to eat beef with them, and pulled the two potential informants to their own same front, so that the whistleblower became a secret, and from here we can also see Zhu Yuanzhang's courage and wisdom.
It's just that the intelligence of "forcing others" is always a little unruly, and Zhu Yuanzhang will soon part ways with Zhang Wujie. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had long been vulgar, and with his own ability, he attracted many talented people to become his subordinates. It was just that they were chased by the imperial court, and at the critical moment, Zhu Yuanzhang came up with another trick - to capture a few people, change into their clothes and remove the shells of the golden cicadas.
Originally, it was enough to do this, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was cautious, was worried that the matter would be exposed, and he also killed all these innocent people, and he had to say that he was vicious.
In particular, Zhang Wuji also specifically advised not to kill innocents indiscriminately, but where Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to listen to the words of a hairy boy, it was because this time, although Zhu Yuanzhang successfully escaped, he also let us outside the book empathize with the protagonist group - unwilling to be with Zhu Yuanzhang. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang became a small leader under the banner of the Ming Sect and talked about sheltering. And Zhang Wujie, we all know that in the battle of Guangming Peak, Zhang Wuji moved his fame to the world with a big move and became the leader of the Ming Sect.
With the identity of the sect leader pressed, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was not convinced, his behavior and behavior had to obediently act according to the rules, and then Zhu Yuanzhang led his men to march south and fight in the north, establishing a strong foundation and gaining a lot of people's hearts.
At this time, he was no longer willing to have a sect leader named Zhang Wujie on his head. Therefore, when the regime was established, Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to deal with Zhang Wujie and the Ming Sect.
To this end, Zhu Yuanzhang designed to bring Zhang Wujie into the secret room, and then discussed with his subordinates Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in another room how to betray Han Lin'er. When talking about how to deal with Han Lin'er, Zhang Wuji, who was slowly waking up, heard Xu and Chang say that they were going to kill this person, which made Zhang Wuji mistakenly think that they were going to kill themselves. This was a very big blow to Zhang Wuji, because he attached great importance to these people, but these people all "betrayed" themselves, so the disheartened Zhang Wuji decided to abdicate and pass the position of Sect Leader to Yang Xiao. And this is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang meant--without the existence of Zhang Wuji, a world-class master, the old wounds of the Ming Sect's ability gradually became much less powerful than before. When Zhu Yuanzhang officially became emperor, it seemed very easy to order the suppression of the Ming Sect.
And what is the result of Zhang Wujie? The ending given in the book is relatively satisfactory - Zhang Wuji retired to the jianghu with Zhao Min, and since then he has not asked about the world and lived a peaceful and carefree life. However, there is also a saying that after he and Zhao Min retired, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up, using Zhao Min's father's life as a threat, forcing Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min out of the mountain, and Zhang Wuji and his wife who came to learn the news were framed, and finally Zhao Min died to save Zhang Wujie, leaving Zhang Wuji alone. In addition, some people have speculated that Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji should also have character archetypes in history, such as Zhao Min is likely to be the sister of the Yuan Dynasty general Wang Baobao, who was later captured by Zhu Yuanzhang and forcibly married to his son. And Zhang Wuji, some people speculate that its prototype is the aforementioned Han Lin'er, Han Lin'er is actually a very talented, very prestigious person in the army, but in the end he was held hostage by Zhu Yuanzhang and sank into the river...
The novel is a novel after all, even if it is borrowed, it is only a partial display of the characteristics of the characters, and it also carries the author's great personal likes and dislikes, so it is only for reference. However, I believe that many people have seen it many times, and most of them have a deep memory of the love and hate of the protagonist group, but they know very little about the love-hate entanglement between Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Sect. Now re-reading this part of the content, I have to lament Mr. Jin Lao's clever ingenuity, a book is written into the love of children, but also talk about the family and the world, but also to conspire and plot, it is no wonder that his martial arts works have been prosperous for so many years.
