There are always people who say that Jin Yong's novels have too strong a sense of substitution, especially those with real historical backgrounds. And Jin Yong does often add some real characters to the novel, but unlike other martial arts writers. In Jin Yong's novels, the real historical figures have almost all become the foil for the fictional characters. And the monk Peng in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" is such a character, how is he in the real historical plane?
Peng Monk's real name was Peng Yingyu, and he became a monk when he was ten years old, so he was called a "monk" after that. Although Peng Yingyu became a monk, she had a heart to save the world. At that time, The rule of Meng Yuan was brutal and barbaric, and Peng Yingyu secretly joined the White Lotus Sect, taught herself medical skills, and treated the surrounding masses for free, so that many believers gathered, including Zhou Ziwang, who later started with him.
And this passage was also used by Mr. Jin Yong in the "Book of the Slaughter of the Dragon in the Heavens", when recording the White Brow Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, it was mentioned that Peng Monk and Zhou Ziwang rebelled against the Yuan, and in the end, because they were outnumbered and defeated by the Yuan army, Zhou Ziwang was sacrificed, and Peng Monk fled.
After escaping from the encirclement of the Yuan army, monk Peng continued to gather his disciples to resist the Yuan. In fact, monk Peng believed in Miro Buddha, not on the Ming sect in the heavens to worship the holy flame.
In order to build his own team, Peng monks named the disciples with outstanding abilities in the name of "Pu" and carefully cultivated them, and the disciples who followed Yuan Zhou changed their name to Guan Putian. In Huaixi, Zhao Pusheng, Li Pusheng, Xiang Puluo, Ou Puxiang, etc. were newly collected, and they were called "Peng Dang".
Monk Peng was also revered as "Peng Zu", and the monk Peng at this time was actually the leader of the most famous anti-Yuan rebel army, not one of the five scattered people who were extremely marginalized in the heavens.
In the eleventh year of Zhengzheng, Liu Futong revolted in Yingzhou, Anhui, and under the command of the monk Peng, his disciple Zou Pusheng revolted in Puzhou, Hubei. Later, following Xu Shouhui as emperor, he established the "Heavenly End" regime (more than the meaning of "Dayuan"), and the rebel army was called the "Red Turban Army" because it wrapped its head in a red scarf, and because it believed in Milo Buddha, it was called the "Incense Army".
The Xiang army successively captured Huguang and Jiangxi. In the following year, it crossed the Yangtze River in the south and successively conquered many cities such as Fanchang, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing, and Hukou. At this time, Monk Peng officially came to Xu Shouhui's army and was worshiped as a military master.
Monk Peng then went south with his disciple Xiang Pusheng and conquered the city of Hangzhou in early July of that year. Hangzhou was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an, which was of great significance in appealing to the Chinese people, and Peng Yingyu was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan Province.
Subsequently, the Yuan army counterattacked in a large scale, and in order to preserve its strength, Peng Monk led his army to withdraw from the north of Hangzhou City and successively conquered Huzhou, Changzhou and other places, directly approaching Nanjing. The Yuan army organized forces to intercept, Peng Monk's troops were frustrated, and finally he was surrounded by the Mengyuan army in Ruizhou, and after the bloody battle, the city was destroyed, the Yuan army slaughtered the city, and Peng Monk, his disciples, and his family were all killed.
Throughout the life of Monk Peng, not only the ups and downs, but also the indomitable twists and turns, it is much more brilliant than the male protagonist of the heavens. However, in the Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens, Monk Peng's martial arts are not even first-class.
In the Ming Sect, the martial arts of the Sect Leader, the Left and Right Illuminators, and the Four Great Dharma Kings were all one or two notches higher than him. Even among the five scattered people, peng monk's martial arts were significantly lower than those of leng humility and unspeakable. In the only head-on battle, he only fought against Ding Minjun and Ji Xiaofu of the Emei Sect, as well as six other people of the same level of the Sect, and he was already defeated, and even injured an eye.
When such a figure faced Xie Xun, the Golden Retriever King, even if there were hundreds of people, it was useless on Wang Panshan Island, which showed that the martial arts of Peng Monk were too far away from the four great Dharma Kings.
Among the Heavenly Beings, Monk Peng was at most a second-rate level, just one level higher than the ordinary disciples of the Sixth Gate Sect. Relatively speaking, Liang Yusheng's setting of Peng Monk is the world's first master, which is much more generous.
