All kinds of historical bugs in 818 "The Lion of Heaven"

After watching Li Rengang's N films, I found that this strange man who graduated from Canada seems to have an unusual preference for Chinese history. From the "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor" that made me complain for N years, until the recent "Heaven" "The Lion", every movie is full of history... I have never seen such a director who loves adapting Chinese history so much. It just so happens that he also likes to pick those famous histories that are unavoidable in nine-year compulsory education. The adaptation, so that middle school students can't help but see the BUG inside, is also a kind of persistence.
To be honest, apart from all kinds of bugs, "The Lion of Heaven" is a pretty good movie, with a grand scene, a complete story, and distinct characters. It's a long-lost flying saucer cap that looks very interesting...but it happens...the director has to insert all kinds of bugs in it, which makes me think about the real history every time I want to burst into tears. Play...

BUG 1: Huo Qubing is a bit old,
this is a nitpicking. According to historical records, Huo Qubing died at the age of 24. It's a bit... er... Feng Shaofeng is very handsome... But how good is it to change to a little fresh meat from 1987...

BUG 2: The... prince of the Roman Empire?
There was indeed a monarchy in the ancient Roman Empire, including the monarchy period in the 7th century BC, the period of the head of state established by Octavian later, and the Domina special system of "monarchical power", but it happened... It happened to be the Chinese emperor Han Wudi. Before death... Ancient Rome was in a period of "republic" that our history and politics textbooks focus on. The characteristics of this period can be summed up as follows - there is no king! There are no kings... Of course, there is no such thing as a prince and a palace fight... So every time I see the innocent little prince and the vicious big prince, there is a kind of "you are making fun of me". Feel.
As for the hapless king Crassus... Well, this is actually a very famous character, he defeated a famous work "Spartacus", that's right! It is the gladiator uprising that has been written into a world famous book. But he is far less famous than another person who is related to him. This person is the most famous emperor of the ancient Roman Empire, "Caesar". Crassus once paid a loan for Caesar, no, it was a loan... and also formed the famous "three-headed alliance" with Caesar and Pompey, and the most ridiculous thing about this movie is that Crassus is because of Defeated in the Parthian Empire and died at the Battle of Kalai. (The origin of the movie "The Lion of Heaven" is also because someone said that Crassus' eldest son did not die in this battle, and fled to Liqi with the remnants of the brave First Army...), if the real Crassus knew that there was a director behind If you rehabilitate him like this, you will wake up with a smile from the coffin... As for the head of state system that can barely have a prince and can play palace fights, it was only after Crassus's good friend Caesar was hacked to death by Octavian... SO ... Anyway, the prince of "The Lion of Heaven" is really good YY!

BUG 3: Is Rome far from the Han Dynasty or far from the Parthian Kingdom?
In the movie, if I remember correctly, the little prince and his party went to the Parthian country to find the contract to slay the eldest prince, and then they came to Yanmenguan for no apparent reason... This explanation must be teasing me! Let's first take a look at the map of the Parthian nation on WIKI.

http://ww1.sinaimg.cn/large/6302fa9djw1epnvdr9cc1j20un0ex12r.jpg

is basically lying on the fertile soil between Europe and Asia... So how did the Roman legion run from Rome all the way around the Parthian territory to Yanmen Pass what about? Stepping back 10,000 steps, the little prince's destination was the not-so-big city of the Parthian capital, so he strayed to Yanmenguan... Then the Roman legion also took twice as long... Their generals are really not the way to go. Crazy?
As for the beautiful queen of the Parthian Kingdom... Since Crassus is mentioned in the movie, the corresponding king of the Parthian Kingdom who defeated him must also be recorded! What makes people depressing is that the Parthian country was in civil strife at that time, and it was Mithridates III, Orodes II, and Prince Pakoros I... But no matter which of them, they were definitely not a queen... ...(Because the Parthian kingdom, like other empires, is the eldest son inheriting the throne) and, I haven't found a single "female" in a bunch of five-character names in the history of the Parthian kingdom... Only one queen married herself Son's gossip.

BUG 4: The prince of the 100,000-strong Roman army
, you will definitely spread beans into an army! According to historical records, the Roman army is based on the "legion" as a combat unit. After removing a bunch of technical data, there are about 5,000 people in a legion. According to the time when Crassus was killed, it should be in 53 BC. It just so happened that Caesar went on an expedition a year ago. He brought 25,000 people with him. Although he failed to occupy the British Isles he had longed for, he Also beat the surrounding area. So... how did the eldest prince get an army of 100,000 people? Taking a step back, even if he can get an army of 100,000 people to chase the little prince and his party, how many miles can he get to Yanmen Pass? Even Jackie Chan said that the supply of 1,000 people for his filming is a headache. The supply of 100,000 people has to travel so far, and how many Roman farmers have to be killed? !
Another point to add is that you let the Roman army of 100,000 run across the entire Eurasian continent like this? ! Have no other kings been afraid? attack? Newsletter? Have to wait until the final battle of the Five Armies at Yanmen Pass? ! The eldest prince really has different marching skills!


BUG 5: Yanmen Pass
will not talk about the composition of Yanmen Pass first, whether the city wall can be repaired in 15 days, just one sentence - as an important pass on the Silk Road, the frontline fortress in the Central Plains to resist the southern nomads from the north, you only give me a bunch of aliens Are slaves really good men? Did the army go to the city to eat and drink spicy food? !
Then, here comes the important thing. As usual, here is a WIKI introduction: Yanmen Pass, also known as Xixing Pass, is located in Yanmen Mountain, about 20 kilometers north of Daixian County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, China. It is an important pass on the Great Wall. , Yanmenguan has always been the frontline fortress in the Central Plains to resist the southern nomads from the north, and many famous generals have established immortal achievements here.
Where is Yanmenguan Pass? In Shanxi, brother! Where is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, Shaanxi! Director brother, look at the map carefully, is your geography taught by a physical education teacher... Romans from the west have to get through to the Xiongnu in the north before they can approach Yanmen Pass!
Your favorite Huo Qubing did send troops from Yanmen Pass, but that was the pass that beat the Xiongnu. You think the pass in the Western Regions is called Yumen Pass... It is the Yumen Pass where "the Qiang flute should blame the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass".




BUG 6: The Duhufu
is directly explained by some terms on WIKI and Baidu Encyclopedia - the position of Duhu was initially established in the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty (60 years ago), and the Duhufu was located in Wulei City, guarding the Western Regions The Protector of the Western Regions was the highest military and political chief of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty. In the Western Han Dynasty, Duhu was a title added to other official titles. It was generally led by a cavalry captain or a counselor, and received a salary of 2,000 stone; Two people each. The duty of the Protector General is to govern the countries in the Western Regions, manage the fields, and issue orders from the imperial court.
Another paragraph: In the third year of Ganlu (51 years ago), Hu Hanye Shanyu visited Emperor Xuan as a courtier, and the century-old war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns finally came to an end. In the Western Regions, the Protector of the Western Regions was established, and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were officially incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

That's why I have never understood Choi Siwon's brain circuit. He has already become the deputy captain of the Protectorate. You told me to be the prefect? How far do you have to run back to be a prefect... It's better to just shoot Jackie Chan to death and be the prefect!
And that eldest prince, how could you grant the rights of the prefect? ! In the Han Dynasty, there was a system of three princes and nine ministers, and the appointment of officials was arranged by the decree. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, an inspection system that could be elected by prime ministers, marquis, governors, guards, and equals was added. ” system and the unformed imperial examination system for the promotion of the five classics doctoral examinations. But none of it is written to allow foreigners to be appointed... This is a promise that Chinese people don't believe, and Choi Siwon actually believed it! I also plan to travel thousands of miles from Xinjiang to Shaanxi to be the prefect... I'm also drunk!

As for why the prefect of Jiuquan County was able to bypass the provincial governor and directly dismiss the Protector of the Western Regions, the question of whether Huo An can be the Protector of the Western Regions will not be discussed any further.

Alas... The last thing I want to say is, director brother, I think your film is quite good. If you say it's not good, I won't write such a long error-correcting article about you. You watch that sci-fi film "" I didn't say anything about "Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor", let alone "Hongmen Banquet" and "Jin Yiwei" that I jumped to watch, but can we make an alternate movie next time? Don't make a play every time you see it moving... okay?
