Only 3 people know the secrets in Jin Yong’s novels!
The Mongolian Khan was killed by a martial arts master? At the end of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the Mongolian army besieged Xiangyang, and Guo Jing led the Central Plains Wulin to defend Xiangyang, resulting in a long-term failure of the Mongolian army. Later, the Mongol Khan Meng Ge personally supervised the battle and was killed by Yang Guo by throwing flying stones with his internal strength.
Han Meng was killed by flying stones.
This kind of seemingly "martial arts" plot has actually happened in history. According to historical records, Meng Ge Khan died from a "flying locust stone" while supervising the battle. In other words, Meng Ge Khan was indeed killed by a flying stone thrown by a master of hidden weapons in the Song army. However, Jin Yong arranged a man named Yang Guo in the Song Army.
Genghis Khan because he suddenly loved peace?
Qiu Chuji left a deep impression in the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes. When Taoist Qiu passed by Niujia Village to attract officers and soldiers, he came up with the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. In the year AD, Taoist priest Qiu even went to Mongolia to find Genghis Khan's method of maintaining health and governing the country.
Map of Qiu Chuji's westbound route
There is indeed a section in history where Qiu Chuji "doesn't kill without saying a word". In 1919, the 74-year-old Qiu Chuji traveled through the Mongolian desert and the Western Regions and met Genghis Khan near the Pamir Plateau in today's Afghanistan. Genghis Khan was very impressed to see him still young at such an advanced age. I learned from him the principles of maintaining health and governing the country, and even prevented a massacre. Later, the Mongolian Empire built the Baiyun Temple in Beijing for Qiu Chuji, and the incense has reached its peak to this day. Qiu Chuji also became the founder of the Quanzhen Dragon School of Taoism.
Is Zhu Yuanzhang really a Mingjiao?
In Year of the Condor, the protagonist Zhang Wuji is the founder of Mingjiao. What is the origin of Mingjiao? During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Persian Mingjiao, also known as Manichaeism, was introduced to China. It later became a private secret society and later became the Mingjiao in which Zhu Yuanzhang participated. The Fangla Uprising was also a Ming religion. What is shocking is that after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he immediately ordered the entire country to ban Mingjiao. After that, the Ming Dynasty reformed it and called it White Lotus Sect.
The real Mingjiao uprising
The Legend of Yitian Tulong clearly records Zhang Wuji’s capable men during the Yitian Tulong Chronicle, such as Peng Yingyu, Tieguan Taoist, Zhou Dian, etc. They are all folk Feng Shui experts. , to help Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the world. Among them, Leng Qian's Taoist name is "Longyangzi", and in ancient times, same-sex love was called "Longyangzhizhi", so I now doubt the relationship between Wusan people.
Mingjiao Kung Fu and the Crusades
In 1989, the headquarters of Zoroastrianism was located in Persia, and its leader was known as the "Old Man of the Mountain" Huoshan. In fact, this Huo Shan was the leader of Assassin, the first assassin organization in history. His full name was Rashiddin ibn Salman ibn Muhammad Abu Hoshan. His "Zoroastrian Assassins" were frightened by the horrors of the European Crusaders. Later, the Assassin organization Assassin also became the English and Chinese word "assassin" -assasin. I don’t think Zhang Wuji would have thought that Mingjiao martial arts would actually affect the development of English.
The headquarters of Mingjiao is in the real history - Eagle's Nest, Assassin
The anti-Qing organization Tiandihui
In the Water Margin, the secret anti-Qing organization "Tiandihui" "It left a deep impression on people. In real history, there is indeed a Heaven and Earth Society, and it also has a name - Hongmen. Historically, Hongmen, as a secret society, has been fighting against the Qing Dynasty. When Sun Yat-sen was preparing for the Revolution of 1911, he received funding from overseas Hongmen. From a certain perspective, Hongmen's anti-Qing mission was successful.
Hongmen still exists.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Hongmen’s spirit of loyalty and patriotism has been passed down. During the Anti-Japanese War, Situ Meitang, leader of the Hongmen court in Honolulu, donated a large sum of money to the National Government for the Anti-Japanese War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang was reorganized into one of the nine democratic parties, the China Zhi Gong Party.
