Zhang (1606~ 1647), a native of Wei 'an, Shaanxi. He used to be a soldier under the company commander Yan Sui, and was removed from the list for committing a crime. In A.D. 1630, farmers rioted all over Shaanxi. At the age of 24, Zhang organized Mizhi Village to respond, calling himself the Eight Kings. In the next eight years, Zhang has been running around, constantly attacking the city, and his power has gradually developed to hundreds of thousands of people. 1638, Zhang was defeated by Zuo Liangyu, the general of Ming dynasty, and fled to the mountainous area around Huguang after being hit hard. Zhang, who fell into a trough, decided to accept the favor of the court. However, Zhang did not give up the Ming Dynasty. After recuperation, he quickly made a comeback and caught the Ming army off guard.
Determined to resist Qing dynasty
From 65438 to 0840, Zhang entered Sichuan, established the Daxi regime, proclaimed himself emperor, and was besieged by armed forces from all directions. Zhang Qibing rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, but with the change of the current situation, the Ming Dynasty was already dying and was replaced by the Qing Dynasty. Zhang believed that although the Ming regime was corrupt, it was China's orthodoxy after all, so he gradually joined forces with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty to carry out anti-Qing activities. Zhang Bu later became the main force of the small court in Nanming, and his adopted son and Li Dingguo were all highly valued. 1646, the Qing army went west, and Zhang was shot dead by an arrow in Fenghuang Mountain.
The mystery behind us
After Zhang's death, various legends about him became more and more fierce, such as the Sichuan massacre and eating the treasure of a beautiful woman sinking into the river. This is a controversial historian. After the uprising, Zhang spent most of his time fighting against the Ming court, but he finally died in the hands of the Qing army. Despite all kinds of controversies, he was still a hero in troubled times at that time.
Any well-known historical figure in Zhang's novels can easily become the object of novelists' writing, especially a controversial figure like Zhang, who is deeply loved by the author. Let's talk about Zhang's novels. What kind of person is Zhang in the novel?
Data map of women in Ming dynasty
There are many novels with Zhang as the protagonist in modern times, and the writing angles are also very different. Some people describe Zhang as a murderer, while others describe him as a national hero. Of course, in today's popular romance novels, ironman's tenderness is also indispensable.
lunatic
It is not surprising that Zhang, who is famous for killing people, is described as a murderer in the novel. There are a lot of historical data to prove that after Zhang became emperor, he didn't know whether he was insane or not, and he didn't know why. He killed at least hundreds of innocent civilians by various means. Therefore, it is not wrong for Zhang to appear as a murderer in some novels.
national hero
Seeing this, some people may want to know how Zhang got involved with this national hero. This must be made up by a novelist. Actually, it's not. There is still a certain basis. Although Zhang opposed the rule of the Ming Dynasty at first, he later advocated uniting the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty. Some people think that the Ming and Qing Dynasties belonged to different countries at that time, so those who resisted the Qing Dynasty also belonged to national heroes. This statement was the most popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Tenderness of steel
Since ancient times, the love of novelists is often not the merits or great achievements of historical figures, but their affairs. Zhang, Queen Mother of Daxi, is no exception. Although, in the past historical materials, Zhang was described as a demon who hurt women, wise modern writers often wrote him as an affectionate man of steel. It is natural that you will have private meetings and lovers' affection. As for whether Zhang really has such a romantic history, readers need not take it seriously. A novel is a novel after all. Just read it.
