Mr. Jin Yong is well-read and versatile. The chief helmsman of the Beggars' Sect is located in Xinyang by shooting sculptures. What is the historical background?

Xinyang Beggars' Sect never takes the helm. In the sculpture shooting, Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, is naturally fond of being free and easy, and has no fixed place to live. Since all the leaders have no place to live, the leader of the Beggars' Sect has to follow the leaders, so there is no place to live.

Xinyang is the former residence of Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of Tianlong Babu, but the helm of Tianlong's beggar gang is not in Xinyang, but in Luoyang.

Throughout Jin Yong's martial arts world, the beggar gang only made it clear in "Dragon" that the helm was in Luoyang.

Once quietly said to Elder Xu: "This big iron tree left the capital of song dynasty and came to Luoyang to help me steer."

-"Tianlong Babu"

Initially, the Beggars' Sect leader was located in Luoyang. Personally, it is because Luoyang in the Northern Song Dynasty belongs to Xijing. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital Bianjing, it is also a place for retired cadres to provide for the elderly, and the economic conditions are quite good. Therefore, when the previous king saw that Luoyang was more prosperous and the begging business was easier to do, he set the rudder in Luoyang.

Jin Yong's swordsmen's works did not explain where the helm of the Beggars' Sect was from the beginning of "Eight Dragons", especially during the "Shooting Carving" period, when the Beggars' Sect took the name of the Beggars' Sect in the Song Dynasty to restore the Han people's rivers and mountains. At that time, Xinyang and Luoyang, as you said, had been occupied by the state of Jin. How could the beggars' gangs take the helm in these two areas and let them beg from the people of Jin? Isn't this a slap in the face?

Hong Qigong loves freedom all his life, and he has no fixed place to live, so the beggar gang has no helm at this time. Beggars' gangs will hold a general meeting in Junshan, Dongting Lake, Yueyang, Hunan. Huang Rong became the leader of the Beggars' Sect only at the Junshan Conference. Therefore, Junshan in Yueyang should be regarded as the temporary helm of the Beggars' Sect in this period.

Except Dragon, Jin Yong's later works basically don't mention beggars and helmsmen.

In The Condor Heroes, Huang Rong and Guo Jing always lived in Taohua Island, so the general commander of the Beggars' Sect moved to Zhejiang with Huang Rong and worked near Taohua Island.

After that, Huang Rong was sponsored by a big sponsor, moved the helm to Xiaogan Dashengguan, and gave the position of king to Lu Youjiao.

After the Heroes' Club won a great victory, the commander-in-chief of the Beggars' Sect should have moved to Xiangyang. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Guo Jing helped Xiangyang defend the city in Lv Wende, and the beggar gang was also helping Song Jun defend the city at that time. Therefore, it was natural that the commander-in-chief of the Beggars' Sect was in Xiangyang during this period, including Lu Youjiao's re-election of Yeluqi as the leader after he was killed by Huo Dou in Yangtaifu Temple in Xiangyang.

In the era of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", the general commanders of beggars' gangs were basically real vagrants. In the novel, Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, was paralyzed because he was obsessed with practicing the eighteen palms of the dragon, and has been recuperating in Lianhua Villa. Anyway, I know there is a ski resort in Lianhua Mountain, Beijing, but maybe the commander-in-chief of the beggars' sect in the Yuan Dynasty was here. After all, the economic prosperity of the capital is conducive to beggars.

There is no specific position of the chief helmsman of the Beggars' Sect in "Eternal Life", but it can be seen that the Beggars' Sect in this book has declined. Stone Dragon's martial arts is high, but he basically died with Cheng Kun, and he didn't make a positive appearance. Then, Cheng Kun and Chen Youliang have been looking for a fake stone fire dragon and held a beggar's guild meeting in lulong county, Qinhuangdao. Because a big sponsor, a rich man, bought the name of a beggar's sixth generation disciple in this county, he chose to hold the beggar's guild meeting here. You can imagine how the beggar gang declined during this period.

Later, in Jin Yong's works, beggars' gangs rarely appeared, let alone the position of the chief helmsman of beggars' gangs. It can be said that the chief helmsman of the Beggars' Sect has no fixed position except that it is clearly stated in Eight Dragons.

In fact, it is reasonable to live without a fixed place and set up a house. Beggars are a group of beggars after all. If you have a tall mansion to work, can you still be called a beggar? Beggars themselves are cosmopolitan, so they can eat wherever they want.
