If Yang Dingtian didn't die due to his practice, could his Mingjiao accomplish the great cause of resisting Yuan and restoring the country?

Yang Dingtian is indeed a generation of heroes in Mingjiao history. Not only was he strong in martial arts, but he also had few rivals in the world. After he became the leader, Mingjiao realized the rise and rejuvenation under his leadership and ushered in a period of heyday. Later Zhang Wuji was able to accomplish his great cause, largely relying on the Mingjiao team and foundation established during the Yang Dingtian period. With his sudden death that year, Mingjiao turned from prosperity to decline and fell into a split for more than 30 years. situation. As a result, many readers have also imagined that if they had not died that year, they might lead Mingjiao and Han people to realize the great cause of rejuvenation ahead of time. In Yu Lingjun’s personal opinion, although Yang Dingtian was a hero, he was not the chosen son of the Han people’s anti-Yuan leadership and the realization of the great cause of rejuvenation, even if he did not die because of a crash and a hat that caused him to go crazy in practice. , He could not become the leader of the Han people against Yuan Dynasty, the reason is that he was too strong.

1. Yang Dingtian, who has prospered Mingjiao in one hand and ended the two-hundred-year decline, is indeed a generation of heroes. Before Yang Dingtian took over as the leader of

, Mingjiao obviously experienced a long period of decline. The cause of the decline, mentioned in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", was caused by Huang Shang. In the second year of Huizong Xuanhe, Fang La, the leader of Mingjiao, organized the masses to initiate an uprising in Muzhou Gangyuan under the terms of "Two Sects" and "Sanji". The self-proclaimed "Holy King", the surrounding areas responded, and the insurgents succeeded in successively capturing 52 counties in six states including Hangzhou and Shezhou, shaking in the southeast. Emperor Huizong hurriedly ordered Tong Guan to lead an army of 150,000 to suppress the rebels for the Xuanfu envoy. The rebels failed in the battle. The following year Fang La was informed by a traitor and was arrested and killed. In order to uproot the Mingjiao, Emperor Huizong sent Huang Shang to encircle and suppress Mingjiao's general altar. Huang Shang killed several senior Mingjiao leaders in a battle and severely damaged its leadership. Under the double blow, Mingjiao's vitality was severely injured and began to decline.

Beginning in the Southern Song Dynasty, although the Ming religion had an uprising in Xinzhou, the leader of Wang Zongshi, the leader of Yu Wupo in Quzhou, and the leader of Zhang Sanqiang in Jiangxi and Guangdong, they all only rebelled against the government on a small scale and did not cause a big storm. And all ended in failure. On the contrary, the factors came to oppose the imperial government. The imperial court regarded it as a "magic religion" and strictly prohibited it. In order to survive, Mingjiao began to act secretly and strangely to avoid the eyes and ears of the officials. This allowed the Zhengdamen School and Mingjiao to gradually differentiate between righteous and evil, and entangled with the Central Plains martial arts schools. The imperial court regarded them as wicked people, and the decent chivalry despised them, and even the underworld people who robbed their homes, murdered and set fires, said they were demons and ghosts, and Mingjiao's reputation finally fell to the bottom. In order to protect the holy fire, Mingjiao was forced to leave the Central Plains and moved to the bitter and cold areas of the Western Regions to rebuild the main altar on Guangmingding, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After a hundred years, Mingjiao continued to decline in silence. By the time the thirty-first generation of the Shih leader was in office, even the Mingjiao’s holy relic "Holy Fire Order" was robbed by members of the beggar gang and became the world’s first A large group of beggars successfully forged beams. Later, the "Holy Fire Order" was purchased by Persian merchants, and then taken back to Persia and taken back by Persian Mingjiao. However, because of this, the leader of the Mingjiao of Central Tulips, in order to welcome the "sacred fire order" to the Archbishop of Persia, forcefully practiced the "Great Shift of Universe", which resulted in successively including the 32nd generation of clothing leaders and the 33rd generation of Yang Dingtian. The three leaders all went into trouble and died. It can be said that from Fangla to Yangdingtian, Mingjiao went through a period of decline of more than two hundred years. There is not much visibility in the rivers and lakes, just like Shaolin in the "Double Eagle Period".

came to Yang Dingtian to serve as the leader. Because of his martial arts and great talents, under his leadership, Mingjiao has come out in large numbers, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Bright Left and Right, the Four Guardians of the Law, the Wusanren and the Five Elements. Although the position is high and low, each of them has a skill and a great ability. These talents regard Yang Dingtian as a common idol and work together, vying for the first merit, and no one wants to fall behind. With such internal cultivation and external struggle, Yang Dingtian laid a huge foundation in just ten years, realized the rise and revival of Mingjiao in his hands, and finally changed the decadent scene of the past; and directly changed the pattern of martial arts at that time. It also impacted the rule of the Mongolian Yuan regime.

Undoubtedly, as the ZTE master of Mingjiao, Yang Dingtian is undoubtedly talented. He has fulfilled his dream of revival of at least ten generations of hard work, and it is not easy to imagine. With the unprecedented growth of Mingjiao's influence, his personal and Mingjiao influence has reached an unprecedented level. The world is afraid of him by three points, and the dream of revival seems to be close at hand. But a pity, just when he wanted to continue to flex his muscles,At the critical moment of realizing the great ambition of resisting the Yuan Dynasty and rejuvenating the country, he broke through his wife and Cheng Kun's adultery when practicing Zhenjiao magical skills.

And because of his sudden death, the successor he selected and the teaching matters he arranged were not announced in time. Only a few years after his death, the leadership team he cultivated and built was to fight for the leader. And the Mingjiao was torn apart, and the foundation he laid for the dream of revival day and night, almost fell apart because of it. Before Zhang Wuji took over as the leader, Mingjiao had more than 30 years, and once returned to the state of decline that year, there was no hope of rejuvenation again, and then the great cause of anti-yuan and restoration. So if Yang Dingtian didn't die because of his practice, would he really lead Mingjiao to achieve the great cause of expelling Meng Yuan and restoring the Han people? Yu Lingjun personally believes that this possibility is very remote. Although Yang Dingtian was the hero, he was not the chosen son of the Han anti-Yuan leader at that time.

2. Yang Dingtian can only be the master of Mingjiao Zhongxing, but he cannot be the leader of the Han people against Yuan at that time.

First of all, there is a question we must be clear, that is, can the great cause of expelling Meng Yuan and restoring the Han people can be accomplished by relying solely on the power of Mingjiao and Yijiao? The answer is obviously no. Whether it was Yang Dingtian, or later Yang Xiao and Zhang Wuji, or even the Wusan people who said they could not wait, they all knew that if they wanted to succeed in the great cause of fighting against Yuan Dynasty, they must join hands with the Central Plains martial arts factions, unite the heroes of the world, and work together. Resist the enemy together; one religion and one party against the strong yuan will eventually end up alone and hard to achieve success; the successive uprisings after Ming Jiao Fangla are the lessons of blood. Later, what Yang Xiao said to Zhang Wuji explained all this.

Yang Xiaodao: "The suffering of the people in the world is deep, and people’s minds have changed. This is a good opportunity to drive out the Tartar and return me to the rivers and mountains. In the past years, the leader of Yang was alive, day and night with the idea of ​​revival, but the religion has always acted extreme. The various factions of the Central Plains martial arts are entangled in grievances, and it is difficult to fight against the enemy hand in hand. Fortunately, Zhang Jiao heads the teaching affairs and gradually resolves the grievances of the various factions. We just work together to fight the Hu Lu. "Five Backs"

must know that at that time, above the grassy rivers and lakes, that was the real hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Later, on the eve of the lion slaughter meeting, Jin Yong arranged for the Qinghai School and Hejian Shuangsha to take turns to prove this point. It shows that the reason why the Han nation was still enslaved by the Meng Yuan court was that the dragons had no leader. After Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, there was no great virtue that could convince the heroes of the world to preside over the overall situation and order the heroes to work together to fight the violence. yuan. In fact, it was precisely because Mingjiao could not use the power of one teaching to achieve the anti-Yuan achievements, it was also destined to be impossible to complete the great cause of the restoration of the Han people in the hands of Yang Dingtian. Because Yang Dingtian could never be the leader of the Han anti-Yuan Dynasty, his highest achievement can only be the master of Mingjiao Zhongxing. His character and style of behavior doomed him to be impossible to eliminate and fight against all factions. The grudges, and united them to fight the enemy together. We can see the difference from the few things in the novel about him and martial arts. The first thing

did was that he fought with Han Qianye's father when he was walking around the rivers and lakes. It can be seen from this incident that Yang Dingtian, who relied on his own martial arts, must be the master who accumulates a lot of enmity and resentment in the arena and is a person who easily makes enemies. From the subsequent follow-up of the incident that Han Qianye asked him for revenge, there were many people who remembered Yang Dingtian and wanted him to get revenge. There were even many people who wanted to get rid of him. Moreover, the son inherited his father's will, and did not fade away due to the passage of time, but turned into a feud, taking Yang Dingtian as his ultimate goal. It's just that many of them can't beat Yang Dingtian, and like Cheng Kun, they can only have a grievance in their heart, and they dare not show it clearly, and they can only seek opportunities to retaliate in the dark. The origins and relationships of these knights are often complicated. A large number of martial arts gangs can be drawn behind a few people. The enmity that Yang Dingtian forged when he was young has actually separated him from many martial arts schools. The school regards him as an enemy, how can it easily regard him as the leader of the anti-yuan and listen to his orders?

The second thing is that he forged a relationship with the Kunlun faction. Although He Taichong's master Bai Luzi died under Yang Xiao, the feud between Mingjiao and Kunlun School should have started in Yang Dingtian. The reason why Bai Luzi had a battle with Yang Xiao was because his master Lingbao Daoist, that is, the brother of He Zudao, was defeated by Yang Dingtian. Bai Luzi wasFight for Master's revenge. The obvious reason is that the Kunlun Sect and the Mingjiao are in the Kunlun Mountains. The rise of the Yangding Tianming Sect has touched the interests of the Kunlun faction. The escalation of the friction between the two factions has led to the battle of the leaders. Although the Taoist Lingbao is the leader of Kunlun, In the end, he lost to Yang Dingtian and died of shame, and the two factions formed beams. The Kunlun faction is one of the six famous and upright factions. The six factions are in the same spirit, and Yang Dingtian and Yang Xiao have enmities with Kunlun one after another, which means that he has successfully lost the opportunity to unite the six factions. His feud with Shaolin proves this point.

The battle between Yang Dingtian and Shaolin Sandu was the third thing. Although the battle between Sandu and Yang Dingtian was the result of Cheng Kun's instigation, the reason for Sandu to fight Yang Dingtian should be to stand out for Kunlun and Emei. Obviously, Yang Dingtian fought against Sandu by one person, because if it weren't for the combined force of Sandu and defeated by Lao Yang, the three brothers would not have to spend more than 30 years practicing the "Vajra Devil Circle" after returning to Shaolin. It can also be seen that Yang Dingtian relied on his high martial arts, and how vigorous and even arrogant he was at the time. Facing the challenge of martial arts Taishan Beidou Shaolin, he did not retreat. But even though he defeated Sandu, he had completely bid farewell to the position of the Han Chinese Anti-Yuan leader, the position of Wulin Supreme. Because he had already offended the Shaolin of Wulin Taishan Beidou, the minds of the Shaolin faction during the Yitian period can be seen from Zhang Wuji's later request for medical treatment.

From the above several things, we can conclude that it is impossible for Yang Dingtian to unite and obtain martial arts factions and world righteous men. Regardless of how powerful his martial arts is and how he wants to revive, he ultimately cannot get the support of other forces besides Mingjiao. It is impossible for him to be elected by all factions as the supreme martial arts and anti-Yuan like Zhang Wuji. leader. Because he is too strong, his style of behavior, and his behavior that values ​​the competition for high and low, it is destined that the grievances between Mingjiao and various factions will never be eliminated in his hands. Only the accumulating and deepening of the grudges will deepen the gap. Big. Without the support of all factions, and relying solely on the power of Mingjiao, would it be easy to resist Yuan and restore the country? Yang Dingtian's highest achievement can only be the world apart from Wudang Zhang Sanfeng, no one may be able to defeat his one-and-a-half-style Mingjiao leader; his role is to lay a solid foundation for later generations of Zhang Wuji.

Actually, the reason why Mr. Jin Yong created Yang Dingtian (the first version was Yang Potian) was to set off Zhang Wuji's greatness. Zhang Wuji may not be the most talented leader of Mingjiao, but he was the real son who led the Han people to fight against the Yuan Dynasty to achieve the great cause of rejuvenating the country for a hundred years under the specific historical background. The biggest difference between Zhang Wuji and Yang Dingtian is that he can put aside his hatred and honor and unite all the forces against the Yuan. This is destined to be led by Zhang Wuji for the great cause of the Han Chinese to resist Yuan and restore the country.

Many readers are always criticizing Zhang Wuji's actual combat ability, thinking that he wasted all his magic skills. But as everyone knows, it is Zhang Wuji's attitude that he does not treat himself badly in everything, leaving room for everything that makes his benevolent style continue to convince people, and finally succeeds in rectifying Mingjiao's name, uniting all forces, and then commanding the world to build The anti-yuan united front. If he is strong and domineering every time he fights, and strives to win every battle, then his achievement is at best the second place in Yangdingtian. Zhang Wuji's martial arts is actually matched by Mr. Jin Yong in order for him to complete the historical task of building a united front against the Yuan Dynasty. The main point is to achieve unity by striking with force. From this point, it can be seen that the old man Jin's good intentions in writing, and the theme of the book "Eternal Dragon Slayer" is also here.
