Walking to Nanjing to Yangzhou For the first time in my life, I traveled for an interview
Shi Kefa (1602-1645), a native of Daxing County, Suncheon Province, was originally from Shijiazhuang, but was later swallowed up when the Yongding River broke its banks; there are also books that record that the current Tiangongyuan (demolished) village, Jin was formerly Shijiazhuang.
That year, at the end of the 1970s, the spring breeze of reform warmed the motherland, and I, who had just stepped out of the university, taught at the three-foot podium in Daxing County on the outskirts of Beijing, and two years later, in 1981, I adjusted the cultural center to engage in literary creation. The convenience of my work has enabled me to come into contact with literary and historical work, to participate in the county history office's compilation of the pamphlet "Shi Kefa", to come into contact with a large number of literary and historical materials recorded by Shi Kefa, and if I have obtained the most precious treasure, after careful reading, I am deeply moved by Shi Kefa's patriotic feelings and the spirit of knowing that I cannot do it. That year, I had just published the film script "Lugou Xiaoyue" and the long historical novel "Blood Stained Lugou Ancient Moon" based on the "Lugou Bridge Incident", and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and did not spare any effort to create a long historical novel reflecting Shi Kefa's resistance to the Qing. After years of hard work, the creation of "Residual Sun Like Blood", which sprinkled more than 400,000 words, was completed and sent to Wu Yue, a famous writer who had just returned to Beijing after labor reform, and wu Yue, an old editor of the Drama Publishing House, for advice. After reading it, he greatly appreciated it, and put forward detailed revision suggestions, and suggested that I go to Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places for field investigation, and then send the revision to the drama publishing house.
In order to realize the plan of this trip, I cut down on food and clothing, frugal in many ways, raised 3,000 yuan by myself, and began my first remote interview in my life, first taking a train to Nanjing, and after checking the historical materials in the Nanjing Archives for several days, I took a bus to Yangzhou. At that time, I was full of vigor and had the spirit of "wrapping my waist around 100,000 and riding a crane down to Yangzhou". At that time, Yangzhou was still like a girl who had not lifted the veil to outsiders, hiding deep in the boudoir, with neither an airport nor a railway station. Early in the morning, I took an old bus, on a narrow and curved road, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a water town, gag for several hours, first in a market town hurriedly had lunch, until the sun tilted to the west, and then from Nanjing to Yangzhou, where I had been haunted by dreams since childhood. After stepping off the bus, the Yangzhou bus station under construction was chaotic, and the noise of vendors hitting popsicle boxes and soliciting customers with small wooden boards became noisy. When I inquired about how to get to the city hall, a man on a motorcycle told me that he was going to go a long way, twenty or thirty miles away, and he would charge me 50 yuan. It was the first time in my life that I took a taxi, and the price of the car was as high as a month's salary. The first time I came to Yangzhou, I was not familiar with life, so I had to rely on him. Afterwards, I learned that the bus stop crossed a street to the Yangzhou Municipal Government, only 5 yuan, and it took only 10 minutes to walk. The first time I was blackmailed, I felt uncomfortable for a long time.
After staying in the hotel, I couldn't wash up, nor did I rest, so I rushed to slender West Lake, climbed up Meihua Ridge, and threw myself into the beautiful embrace of the paradise on earth...
"The Legend of Shi Kefa Iron Blood", Liu Junjie, Wenshi Publishing House
On plum blossom ridge, trace the hero of the hunt
When I wandered on the shores of Slender West Lake and reveled in the hundred flowers in early spring, my heart also went wild, and the figures of the eight monsters of Yangzhou appeared in front of my eyes, as well as their beautiful works; when I lingered on the foothill trail of Meihualing, my ears seemed to roar with the loud sound of the Qing army attacking the red-clad cannons in Yangzhou City, and the sound of the national hero Shi Kefa angrily rebuking the Commander of the Qing Army, Duoduo, was full of sounds; when I forgot to return to the Shi Kefa Memorial Hall, I was eager to turn back time, and I was also a pawn who shocked China and foreign countries in the Defense War of Yangzhou...
After four hundred years of vicissitudes, history has finally turned over that heavy page, but history has not forgotten that the blood of 300,000 anti-Qing soldiers and civilians has nourished the hundred flowers of slender West Lake; Yangzhou has not forgotten: The scenery of Meihualing zi yanhong is stained red by shi kefa's blood; the people have not forgotten: The strength of today's motherland is the result of the struggle of literati and heroes of all generations. In the gallery of the five-thousand-year time tunnel of the Chinese nation's reproduction and development, one after another figures are written in the annals of Khan Qing's history, Qu Yuan, Su Wu, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Shi Kefa...
"A few plum blossoms to destroy the country's tears, two clear moons and the heart of the former subjects" Qing Dynasty poet Zhang Erxing wrote a link. With concise and concise pen and ink, he has enabled jiabin at home and abroad to appreciate Shi Kefa's awe-inspiring righteousness and sassy demeanor of "I swear to be martyred with the city", and Shi Kefa's spirit of knowing that he cannot do anything, reflecting the lack of moral standards of some people today.
The spirit of Shi Kefa is the pride of the nation and is a shining page in the chapter on The Righteous Qi of China. During his tenure as an official, he did many good deeds for the people, and now the two sides of the ancestral hall are written on the yanglian: Shang Zhang Suiyang as a friend, Feng Zuo Zhongyi as a teacher, The Great Festival Bing Qianqiu, and the legend of the Bright Shi Mu; Mengwen Xinguo was born, Mu Wuxiang Hou died, revenge was jing ninth, and Shenzhou finally saw the Han yiguan. He has always been praised by the government and the public for "honest government and love for the people."
Shi Kefa was a clean and honest official, not only resolute and brave in resisting the Qing, but also sparing his life, and in his previous career, he also attached great importance to jiangshan sheji. The years have not forgotten: when the city of Lu'an fell into disrepair at the end of the Ming Dynasty and fell into ruins, Shi Kefa, who was stationed here, learned of it, and donated himself to repair it, "with the savings of no less than two thousand gold, but not to spend gold, not to cost the people's wealth, although brick and stone, but also to see and feel through." He was concerned about education; when he saw that because of the corruption in the imperial court, the constant wars and chaos, and the ruin of Lu'an studies, he opened the "Lixian Hall, widely consulted, and upheld talents"; when he saw that the local officials borrowed the "Signing Point Law" to collect the people's horses free of charge, and increased the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, resulting in "the property of the middle people being exhausted" and "the suffering of the people", he immediately reformed and eliminated its drawbacks forever. As a courtier of the imperial court, he was "no matter what was too big or small, he was a pro-referee, he saw, listened, answered, approved, and did not support him, but he was always tireless, causing all kinds of wastes to flourish"; when he inspected Fengyang and other places in Anhui Province, the road was uneven, and he boldly "impeached three people who supervised the grain road and added one person to Cao Chu Dao." These folk praises show Shi Kefa's jealousy and hatred, and the boldness of rectifying the officials.
The rafters of history record the heroic deeds of Shi Kefa in leading the people to resist the Qing: When Yangzhou was besieged in the first year of Hongguang (1645), the Qing army was at least 100,000 people, and the Yangzhou defenders were only more than 10,000 old and weak and wounded. The commander of the Qing army, Dolgun, first used a divisive strategy to provoke the relationship between Shi Kefa and the Southern Dynasty, which was recognized by Shi Kefa. The Qing court was not dead hearted, and instructed the vanguard general Duo Duo to constantly send ming generals and Shi Kefa's cousins to Yangzhou to persuade Shi Kefa to surrender, and Xu and the high-ranking official Houlu tried to recruit him. Shi Gong was not moved, and Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "I am the first assistant of the imperial court, how can I be willing to do the opposite?" "Duo Duo was still not dead-hearted, and he personally went out on horseback, and even sent five letters, but Shi Kefa did not open the seal, and all of them were burned.
At the difficult moment when the Qing army was suppressing the territory, Shi Kefa clearly knew that in the extremely difficult situation of no grain and grass in Yangzhou, no rescue troops outside, and extremely difficult circumstances, it was impossible to achieve victory in defending Yangzhou. He could only resist to the end and repay the country with one death. He first summoned the generals and said, "I swear to be martyred with the city, but in the midst of the emperor, I shall not fall into the hands of the enemy and die, and who shall be the one who will make this great festival for me?" Vice Admiral Stilwell resigned. Zhonglie Xiyi said: "I have not yet had a son, Ru Dang took the same surname as my queen, I went to the book lady, and the grandchildren of Ru were among them." Then, he wrote five suicide notes in one breath, except for one letter to King Duoduo of Qingyu, the rest were for his mother, wife, uncle, and brother, and on the twenty-first day, he wrote a suicide note to his mother and wife: The Northern Soldiers besieged Yangcheng on the eighteenth, and have not yet attacked, but the people's hearts have gone, and they can't clean up! Sooner or later, the Fa will die, and I wonder if Madame will go with me? In such a world, it is useless to live, it is better to decide early! After the collapse of the northwest of the city on the 25th, the Qing army invaded and the city fell. Shi Kefa wanted to commit suicide with a sabre, but his subordinates forcibly seized the sabre and embraced him into the small east gate, and the Qing soldiers greeted him, and Shi Kefa shouted: "I am Shi Inspector Ye!" You can introduce the Lord of the Ru Soldiers. "He was captured. Dodo treated him with courtesy, called him sir, persuaded him to surrender in person, and promised to be a high-ranking official. Shi Kefa scolded incessantly and strictly refused: "I am a minister of the imperial court, how can I secretly be born as a sinner of all the worlds!" My head can be broken, my body cannot be disgraced, and I wish to die quickly, from the first emperor to the ground. "Whether the city is dead or dead, I have already decided, that is, the corpses are broken into ten thousand pieces, and they are as willing as food, but the millions of beings in Yangcheng city must not be killed!" Subsequently, He died on the upper floor of the South City at the age of 44.
After Shi Kefa was martyred, because of the ten days of qing soldiers slaughtering the city, the weather was hot, and his body was unknown, the righteous son Shi Dewei searched the whole city, but still did not find it, and he had no choice but to bury the robes, hats, boots, and used wat boards he wore before his death on the Meihua Ridge, and established the "Zhonglie Ancestral Hall" in the east house of the Shi Clan Ancestral Hall.
Forty years of grinding a sword Obsessively
The creation is arduous, and the publishing has gone through ups and downs. Forty years later, The Legend of The Iron Blood of Skofa was finally released.
Speaking of the creation method of the long historical novel "Legend of Shi Kefa's Iron Blood", the whole book is in the form of a Zhanghui novel, intercepting the story of how to maintain the national plot, not to be confused by the high-ranking official Houlu, to adhere to the discipline, to protect the national righteousness, to lead the Yangzhou military and people, and to resist the Qing Wei family in the last year of his life, when he returned to his hometown to visit his mother, he encountered the Qing army attacking and disturbing the Central Plains, he contacted the green forest, resisted the Qing Dynasty and protected the border, but was deposed and demoted, endured humiliation and burden in adversity, took into account the overall situation, and in the midst of the great changes in social turmoil, did not change his mind, how to maintain the national plot, not be confused by the high-ranking official Houlu, adhere to the discipline, protect the national righteousness, lead the Yangzhou military and people, and resist the Qing Wei family.
At the same time, in order to meet the readers' fast-paced reading habits, I did not adopt the traditional rhythm, but adopted the development of film and television literature, visual effects, and the way of unfolding the story, skillfully combining historical stories and legends, and artistically reproducing more than 300 years ago, in the great historical changes in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, various characters represented by the national hero Shi Kefa interpreted different lives in the whirlpool of agitated social changes and national contradictions.
As a singer in my hometown of Beijing, I have created the artistic image of the national hero Shi Kefa with full enthusiasm and heavy ink, showing his outlook on life, values, life and death, and love, as well as the loyal warriors headed by him, facing all kinds of contradictions and inducements, making choices in hardships and hardships, truly reproducing the spirit of the Chinese nation's integrity, and the true meaning of the excellent traditional culture and national soul being rich and uninhibited and mighty.
Secondly, this work does not lay out a straight narrative like writing a biography, but cleverly intercepts the last moment of Shi Kefa's life, the most glorious page, depicting his hard-blooded legend in resisting the Qing baomin, organizing the division of the Qin King, forming the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, supervising Jiangbei, persuading the four towns, and the defense of Yangzhou, showing the iron-blooded legend of the national hero Shi Kefa in the turbulent years, and artistically reproducing his growth process of quenching into steel.
