Chapter 40
"Everyone who served as a soldier in the Song Dynasty had to have their faces tattooed. This was a punishment for prisoners in the past, but in the Song Dynasty it was used on men who fought for the country."

"Since Zhao Kuangyin released his military power after drinking wine, the status and power of generals have been reduced to an extreme. This is also the root cause of the humiliation suffered by the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was wrong from the very beginning."

"In one of the richest dynasties, one can imagine that all the soldiers fighting for the country were yellow and hungry. They were already in the bitter cold at the border, and they had to be constantly on guard against enemy attacks. The pressure was huge, but just... Such a group of people who serve the country loyally, but not to mention military pay, even food and grass cannot be guaranteed. Sometimes they cannot even have a full meal for several days. They have even found edible beasts and fish in the nearby mountains and lakes. It’s been over and over, but people are still starving, it’s still warm, and it’s winter, so you can imagine.”

"Soldiers gnawed hard pancakes, wore worn-out winter clothes, and wore iron armor that was icy cold. Even this cold iron armor was owned by very few people, and the civil servants in the court, At this time, you are enjoying the peace, all the delicacies on the dining table, served by the beauties around you, but you only eat a small bite of the precious dishes, and discard all the rest. Carriage, spend a lot of money for a famous brothel tomorrow, and throw it all away the day after tomorrow because the food doesn’t suit your taste.”

Qin Shihuang: This is not even as good as Hu Hai!

Liu Che: In this kind of country, this kind of dynasty, no matter how loyal you are, how much you can serve the country. Without these soldiers, if you still want to have big fish and meat, you can't value literature to such an extent!
Li Shimin: With this country, how can it survive!

"As a Great Song Dynasty who recovered half of the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin still made some achievements. All the chaos and corruption mainly came from the second generation of the Great Song Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin died, his younger brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, and put "emphasis on literature over military affairs" "Take it as the ancestor's instruction, and the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty slowly collapsed."

"In this long history, many people have ruined their foundations due to later generations. I will explain them one by one later. Now let us look at the second woman."

"This character is also widely circulated in later generations, and temples have been set up for her in many places in our later generations. The story of her that has been passed down to this day is nothing more than "serving the army on behalf of her father". Hua Mulan."

"Hua Mulan, a native of Yucheng, Songzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, was a heroine. Hua Mulan's deeds have been passed down to this day. She is a national hero in ancient China. She is loyal, filial and righteous. She is famous for joining the army for her father to defeat the invading nations. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty posthumously named her "Filial Piety". General Lie "For thousands of years, Mulan has been loved by our flower-growing country."

"Hua Mulan's father used to be a soldier, and he raised Mulan as a boy since he was a child. When Mulan was ten years old, he often took Mulan to the small river outside the village to practice martial arts, riding horses, archery, dancing knives, and wielding sticks. Mulan still likes to read her father's old military books."

"During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the northern nomadic Rouran tribe continued to harass the south. The Northern Wei regime stipulated that each family send a man to the front line. But Hua Mulan's father was old and sick, and could not go to the battlefield. The younger brother in the family was still young. Therefore, Mulan Decided to join the army in place of her father, and since then began her more than ten years of military life."

"Going to the border to fight is a difficult task for many men, but as a woman, Hua Mulan has to hide her identity and fight the enemy with her companions. This is even more difficult than ordinary people who join the army."

"The good news is that Hua Mulan finally fulfilled her mission and returned triumphantly after decades. The emperor pardoned her for the crime of deceiving the emperor because of her great contributions. At the same time, she believed that she had the ability to serve in the court, so she was appointed as an official. However, Hua Mulan refused because she had an old father who needed to take care of her, and she asked the emperor to let her return to her hometown to make up for and honor her parents."

"Between the two heroines Hua Mulan and Qin Liangyu, General Qin's military exploits and achievements are much better than Hua Mulan's, but Hua Mulan has a deeper influence on us. There is an old saying in our later generations that "everyone is Everyone wants to be Hua Mulan." Hua Mulan represents the great ambition of our female compatriots who refuse to admit defeat and are no worse than men. In ancient times, women were harsh on women. In our future generations, even now, there are still many people who look down on women. .”

"In the later generations where I live, women can serve as soldiers, and they can also win glory for the country. However, the conditions for serving as soldiers have also screened out most of them. Women in the flower-growing country are not inferior to men. They also want to fight like Hua Mulan. Kill the enemy."

"There is another kind of influence that Hua Mulan has on our future generations, which is teaching. In my country, all people will receive nine years of compulsory education, and in this education, a poem about Hua Mulan is widely circulated. Children at the age of seven or eight can read two sentences—"Mulan Poetry."

Chirp and chirp again, Mulan is weaving.I don't hear the sound of locomotives, only the sighs of women.

Ask her what she thinks, ask her what she remembers.Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember.I saw the military posts last night, Khan ordered more troops, and there were twelve volumes of military books, with the name of the master on each volume.Grandpa has no older sons, and Mulan has no elder brothers. I would like to be a saddle horse for the market. From now on, I will be recruited for my grandfather... The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred;

""Mulan Poetry" has been included in middle school textbooks and has been chanted by thousands of people for generations. Mulan's deeds and image have been put on stage and performed for a long time. Her spirit has inspired thousands of Chinese sons and daughters to defend The country is full of songs and tears."

"For thousands of years, Hua Mulan has always been a woman respected by the Chinese because she is brave and simple."

"The rewards are one thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, a set of golden armored cavalry, three life-enhancing pills, one solid pill, and a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Hua Mulan, who was disarmed and returned to the farmland, was overjoyed to receive this reward. A set of silver shirts, an iron gun, and a BMW. This reward alone is not ordinary. It is a pity that she is no longer on the battlefield, but she will give it to the country and the country. The food and the art of war, looking at the two small porcelain vases next to her, Hua Mulan wept excitedly, her father has been bedridden, and her mother's eyes can't see clearly, with these at least her parents can be saved.

Hua Mulan: Thank you Miss Zhang!
Qianlong: Three longevity pills!I’m so envious, Miss Zhang, why is there no one from my Qing Dynasty on the list!

Liu Bang: I also want to ask in the Han Dynasty!
……

Li Bai: Don't you see a problem?Nine years of compulsory education?Also all the people can go?How much does it cost!
Qin Shihuang: I also saw it. What is the situation of Miss Zhang's nine-year compulsory education? Did she go to nine-year school?

　I checked the information, and the information about Hua Mulan is really too little. I searched a lot, and there is no information about Hua Mulan's battle. Hua Mulan first appeared in a narrative poem "Mulan Song" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was first collected in "Gujin Lelu" by Chen Chen in the Southern Dynasty.The monk Zhijiang said in "Ancient and Modern Music Records": "Mulan is unknown." It is more than 300 characters long and was later polished by literati in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
