Yue Fei and Song Xianggong (1)
Xing Weihua
Yue Fei was a person from the Southern Song Dynasty, while Song Xianggong was a person from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the two lived in a time that was more than 1,700 years apart. However, one of the biggest characteristics of history is its referential and comparable, especially in an era when the two lived in frequent wars, and perhaps after seeing the attitudes of the two men towards war, people today will have a little reflection on their own view of war in the face of their ancestors' view of war.
In July 1130 AD, Yue Fei was appointed by the Southern Song Dynasty base camp as the envoy of Tongzhou and Taizhou towns in present-day Jiangsu, and the town of Taizhou was located in Taizhou. In order to split and attack the Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Jin established a puppet Qi regime, and in order to stabilize this puppet, he attacked the Southern Song Dynasty in a big way. Yue Fei was ordered to save Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu), due to the limited troops, was blocked by the Jin soldiers in Chengzhou (now Gaoyou, Jiangsu) on the front line, fought hard for many days, although repeatedly won, finally defeated the strong, Chuzhou guard Zhao Li, pacified Li Yanxian in turn to die. Yue Fei retreated to Taizhou.
In November, Yue Fei led the people of Taizhou to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, the Jin soldiers were in hot pursuit, several battles on the way, the army cut off food, when his subordinates asked to grab food from the accompanying people and villages along the way, Yue Fei faced the continuous decline in combat effectiveness, and in desperation wanted to violate his oath of "freezing to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without plundering", but at this time, a subordinate pointed to a piece of enemy corpse that had just been killed by them not far away, reminding him that those were not good food? So, Yue Fei commanded the soldiers to rush up, set up a pot and light a fire, and feast a full meal. Transferred from Iron Will

This is very clear in Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke's "Eguo Jin Tuo Zhi Ed., Volume 25, Calling Heaven to Distinguish False Accusations, Volume 5, Cheng Chu Identification", I remember it very clearly-
"The first minister (that is, Yue Fei) also taught Baotai, and rode 200,000 captives to the city. The first ministers alone to help the wounded and hungry soldiers, Jia Qi has the courage to fight tiredly, the firewood market is fast again, and the river is Dan. The first minister took the lead in the soldiers, and was shot twice, and he still took advantage of the victory to chase the north. The captives retreated into the gate, and the ancestors did their best to protect hundreds of thousands of lives and gather to protect the firewood ruins...... There is no way out. The ancestors are the successors of the corpses."
刲, sound loss, cut, cut; The cutter, decompose.
廪, a warehouse for storing grain, refers to storing grain.
It can be seen that Yue Fei's famous poem "Man Jianghong" in "Zhuangzhi is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood" is not just a description of pride, but a true portrayal of real experience.
Cannibalism was a common phenomenon in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the famous anti-Jin brigade and the "eight-character army" that terrified the Jin soldiers also relied on pickled human flesh to persist in fighting. As for the cannibalism of the people, it is even more unspeakable, at that time, people were called "two-legged sheep", and there was no difference between pigs, dogs, cows and horses.
In 638 BC, after the death of Duke Huan of Qi, the head of the Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, his sons fought for power and civil strife, so that Duke Huan's corpse gave birth to maggots and no one cared about it. But Duke Huan was an excellent politician after all, and as early as thirteen years ago, he entrusted his son Zhao, who was ready to succeed him, to the young Song Xianggong, who had just succeeded to the throne of the Song State at that time. At this time, Song Xianggong saw the civil strife in Qi, so he invited the princes to set the throne for Zizhao to complete the entrustment of Duke Qi Huan. Although in the end, only the soldiers and horses of the three small countries were gathered, but they successfully helped the Qi country stabilize the situation. After returning, in order to maintain long-term stability in the world, Xianggong of Song invited Qi and Chu to Song to negotiate the alliance of princes. Xianggong said: "The purpose of our alliance is to stop fighting, so why should we bring the army back by ourselves?" As a result, at the meeting, because he did not agree with King Chu Cheng as the leader of the alliance, he was forcibly tied up by the other party. Later, because of this kidnapping, he was maliciously humiliated by Zheng Guo and caused a war, and finally met with the saber soldiers who came to aid Zheng Chu, which is the famous Song Chuhong (hóng) water battle in history.

The battle is famous not because of its scale or the unique art of war, but because of Song Xianggong's attitude towards war and the tragic outcome that this attitude led to.
The Song Dynasty was a small country, and it was already at a disadvantage in a war with a big country like Chu, and if it was to win more with less and the strong with the weak, it was necessary to seize the opponent's mistakes, or induce and force the opponent to make mistakes, in order to achieve the goal of the campaign. Therefore, when the Chu army relied on the strength of the crowd and ignored the Song army on the other side of the river, and dared to cross the river in broad daylight, the main general of the Song army wanted to attack when his men and horses had crossed halfway, but Song Xianggong said: "The army of benevolence and righteousness does not attack the half-crossing journey." When the Chu army had all crossed the river and was lining up in a chaotic formation, the Song army commander suggested seizing this last opportunity, but Song Xianggong said: "The army of benevolence and righteousness cannot be lined up without drums." "The ancients fought, drumming for advancement, and singing gold for retreat. When the Chu army was fully prepared to stop and fight with overwhelming momentum, the outcome of the war could be imagined, not only Song Xianggong's guards were completely annihilated, but even he himself was seriously injured and almost taken prisoner. Since then, Song Xianggong has become synonymous with stupidity.
However, it is worth pondering that although Song Xianggong did not be the nominal leader of the alliance for even one day, but lost his teacher and humiliated the country for this, and laughed generously, but in the "Spring and Autumn Period", he was highly respected by Confucius, so his name was included in the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, and he was the second overlord after Qi Huangong.
Why is that?
After Song Xianggong returned to China, he was criticized by many parties: first, he said that he should not strive for hegemony with a small country; Second, he said that he should not be humiliated and raised a sword; Three said that he should not be weak Song against strong Chu; Fourth, he said that he should not release half of the crossing and not attack; Five said that he should not let go of the rabble and lose the whole division. But Song Xianggong disagreed with this kind of blame and refuted everyone: Turned from iron and blood
http:///
"The gentleman is not seriously injured, and he does not capture two cents. The ancients are also the army, and they are not hindered by passes. Although the widow is not only in the country, but there is no drum and no column. ”
"No serious injury" means that people who have already been injured are no longer harmed on the battlefield. "Ermao" refers to two colors of hair, and "not capturing Ermao" means not capturing people with gray hair and beards. Who is a "gentleman"? Whoever has this basic humanity is referring to whomever he is.
"The ancient army is also the army", which shows that these principles were not formulated by Song Xianggong, but the ancestors have always been like this.
The pass is the danger of mountains and rivers; Block, is guarding, blocking; If you don't use the barrier, you just don't rely on some mountains, rivers or vast straits, so you can bluff, and I can't do anything if you provoke me. When the ancestors learned to build walls with earth, things like "cities" also became "passes" for people to defend and block. Obviously, "not to be hindered by passes" also includes not to hold on to the city and to be strong.
Sadly, no one supported Song Xianggong. Song Guoda Fuziyu's negation of Song Xianggong's opinions on everyone's opinions is the negation of this negation:
"You don't understand war. In the face of a powerful enemy, there are dangers to be hindered and chaos to be taken advantage of, this is God's help, and I am afraid that I will not be able to win by relying on this. The purpose of war is to kill the enemy, and if you have mercy on the wounded, then you will not be hurt at all; If you have mercy on the elderly, then simply surrender. Combat is the use of fighter planes, so why can't we thwart the enemy with danger? Drumming is all about attacking, so why can't you attack an unlisted enemy? ”
Isn't the word of the fish wrong? Exactly. Transferred from Iron Will http:///
Is that Xianggong wrong? That's right.
Ziyu is talking about war on the principle of war, and Xianggong is talking about war on the basis of political principle. No one is wrong with principle to principle alone. But if Ziyu can understand that war is subordinate to politics, and talk about the principle of war apart from political principles, then there can be no more principles in his war. And once politics loses the power to guide the principles of war, it also loses the ability to defend political principles. The only outcome of a politics that cannot defend its own principles is to accept the principles of war and replace the principles of politics with the principles of war.
And the principle of war, which has lost the guidance of political principles, has its sole purpose of fully discovering man's bestiality and turning him into a beast! At this time, anyone can eat or be eaten.
Yue Fei and Song Gaozong (2)
Xing Weihua
Yue Fei's death is said to be a mystery for the ages. This mystery is also said to be riddled in the word "unwarranted". These three words, people have understood for nearly a thousand years, but they are just "no need to have" or "maybe there are", what they are, or no one is sure. Today's people are not sure that there is nothing, there is time, and then take it. But if you weren't sure about it back then, it wouldn't work. Who is Yue Fei? On his head is the honorary title of Tai Lieutenant, Shao Bao, and Wuchang Founding Marquis, and he actually led the Xuanfu envoys of Hubei and Jingxi, and also led the envoys of Henan and Hebei Zhulu, and he made outstanding military achievements, and the title before his death was still the governor of the political affairs and the deputy envoy of the privy council, which belonged to the level of prime minister, which was equivalent to today's vice premier of the ******, vice chairman of the Military Commission, or vice minister of national defense or chief of staff. Slow to say that Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, had an oath to prohibit the killing of ministers and those who wrote and spoke when he ascended the throne, and the turbulent situation in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, even in peacetime, there is no hard reason to kill such a person in any dynasty, who would dare? But Qin Hui not only dared, but also faced Han Shizhong's questioning, and replied with a cold face to these three words.
Transferred from Iron Will http:///
Whether this answer is interpreted as being tough or weak-hearted, it will lead people to conclude that killing Yue Fei is "unreasonable". In fact, this explanation itself arises from this conclusion. On this basis, let's ask again, why did Qin Hui do this? The inference is naturally that Qin Hui wants to betray the country, and he can't sell it without getting rid of Yue Fei, the main fighter. And the evidence of Qin Hui's betrayal is that he insisted on peace. This is almost a foregone conclusion. However, as long as we can understand some of the national conditions in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, we will find that this conclusion is difficult to establish on at least two points:
First of all, Yue Fei was not the only main battle general at that time, compared with the older generation of anti-Japanese war generals such as Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun, Yue Fei could only be regarded as a rising star among the younger generations. Even in the later years, the famous generals Wu Jue and Wu Luan brothers, as well as Liu Qi and Yang Yi, who had always insisted on the front line of Shaanxi's anti-Jin resistance, although their identities were worse than Yue Fei, their resoluteness in the War of Resistance and the degree of intensification of the contradictions with the main peace faction were by no means worse than Yue Fei.
In the famous Song-Jin War in the 14th year of Gaozong (the 10th year of Shaoxing), it was not Yue Fei who was the first to disobey Qin Hui, but Liu Qi; The first to win more with less, and several times in the defense of Shunchang (now Fuyang, Henan) with only 20,000 horses to defeat the 120,000 army of Jin Wushu to advance the edge, it was also Liu Qi. If it weren't for the desperate perseverance of Liu Qi and other generals and their repeated surprise victories, which strengthened the base camp to send the four-way army to cross the river to counterattack and gain extremely valuable time, it is really unknown whether Yue Fei and others could successfully cross the river and hit Zhuxian Town in one fell swoop. And Liu Qi and Yang Yizhong, like Yue Fei, both have the highest title of "Tai Lieutenant" among military generals, and Wu Jue and Yue Fei share the treatment of "Kaifu Yi and Three Divisions", and they are all famous generals who are older than Yue Fei and second only to Yue Fei in terms of seniority at that time. Therefore, killing a Yue Fei is impossible to achieve the goal of betraying the country by doing whatever he wants.

Secondly, it was not Qin Hui who insisted on peace, but Song Gaozong. This is very clear in the edict issued in the thirtieth year of his reign (the twenty-sixth year of Shaoxing): "The policy of peace is cut off from my will." But the cypress can praise me, how can it be decided by its survival? ...... "If you say that you have betrayed the country, others may be able to exchange for some wealth and wealth, what do you say the emperor can get by selling the country?" Even if Qin Hui was already in the phase at that time, he was favored and sold to the Southern Song Dynasty, could Dajin still make him the emperor? In this case, what is the point of selling or not selling for Daikin? If he is still the prime minister, what is the meaning of whether he sells or not?
According to the traditional view, after his father and brother Huizong and Qinzong were captured by the Jin people, Gaozong Zhao Gou's national policy when he reorganized the regime, except for organizing the Northern Expedition, rescuing his father and brother, restoring the country, and washing away the national shame, it seems that there is nothing else to do, or should not do anything else. This is not only the view of people today, but also the view of people at that time. Li Gang opposed the relocation of the capital, and Zong Ze crossed the river with three calls, reflecting this kind of angry emotion.
Although Zong Ze repaired Bianliang in Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan), which had been repeatedly destroyed by war, like an iron bucket, Gaozong not only did not dare to go back, but even Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan) did not dare to stay, and retreated to Yangzhou on the edge of the Yangtze River, only to feel a little steady. Is Gaozong afraid of the enemy like a tiger? Not necessarily. At least Zhao Gou in the historical books is not a coward.
In the first year of Jingkang, the soldiers came to the city, and the Jin people asked a prince to negotiate in the army, Zhao Gou asked for a line, and Zhang Bangchang went to the enemy camp in person, and was left for more than ten days, and he was calm. The Song army failed in the sneak attack on Jinying, the enemy commander was angry and scolded, Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that he cried his father and called his mother, snot and tears, but Zhao Gou looked detached and unmoved, and admired the enemy chieftain so much. It can be seen that this Zhao Gou is not only extremely courageous, but also very powerful. He stayed away from Erjing, not because he didn't believe in Zong Ze's ability, but because he didn't believe in the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

That is, before the fall of Tokyo, there were still 120,000 Song infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Jin people did not dare to cross the river easily. But they knew that the strength of the Song army could not be calculated by the number of people, so they bluffed and played drums all night on the other side, and a Song army disappeared at dawn. At the same time, Zong Ze won thirteen battles with the Jin people in Cizhou (now Cixian County, Hebei) on the north bank of the Yellow River, but this partial victory was only a partial victory, but there was no way to prevent the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Another example is when Zong Ze was guarding Tokyo, he wrote to Gaozong twelve times to ask him to return to Beijing, one of which said: "Ding Jin hundreds of thousands of people are willing to protect the capital, Li Cheng is willing to return to the que, that is, to cross the river to kill the enemy, Yang Jin and other millions of soldiers, also willing to cross the river, with the same death." The minister heard that "if you help more, the world will obey it". Your Majesty and return to Beijing at this time, then the hearts of the people are (xī) ran, why is the enemy country worried? "However, this Ding Jin, as the capital patrol envoy, but at the end of the first year of Gaozong, he supported the army to rebel and besieged Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui), although he was attached to Zong Ze at this time, but after Zong Ze's death, he was finally killed by Han Shizhong because of the rebellion; As the envoy of Hebei and Jingdong, Li Cheng rebelled and besieged Suzhou (now Suxian County, Anhui) in August of the second year of Gaozong, that is, only one month after Zong Ze's death, and since then has hundreds of thousands of troops, which has been a big trouble for the Southern Song Dynasty; Yang Jin is not a rebellious army, but a rebellious people who took advantage of the opportunity, although they returned to Zongze, but also rebelled in October three months after Zongze's death, if they really have a million soldiers in their hands, you can imagine what kind of momentum it will be - the so-called Zongze "repaired like an iron bucket" Tokyo, is it really an "iron bucket"?

At this moment, do you say that Li Gang's opposition to moving the capital is correct? Or is it correct to build the capital of Gaozong, Gangnam? Gaozong's decision to abandon the four capitals of the Central Plains (Beijing Daimyo, Xijing Luoyang) and avoid Yangzhou is really a fear of the enemy?
Let's look at the domestic situation in the Southern Song Dynasty in the early days of Gaozong - Wang Ding, the military academy of Qingzhou (now Linzi, Shandong), supported the army and rebelled, and killed the commander Zeng Xiaoxu; Zhang Yuan, Jianzhou (now Jian'ou, Fujian) Military Academy, supported the army and rebelled, and killed the guard Zhang Dong; Chen Tong, a military thief in Hangzhou, supported the army and rebelled, and the commander Ye Mengde killed the Caochen Wu Fang; Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei) military thief Zhang Yu, supported the army and rebelled, entered Chizhou (now Guichi, Anhui), and trapped Zhenjiang; The military thief Zhao Wan entered Changzhou, guarded the minister He Gon (gǔn), and then fell into Zhenjiang; Xu Ming, a soldier of Xiuzhou (now Jiaxing, Zhejiang), supported the rebellion of the army, and was the retainer Zhu Fu (fú); Bozhou (now Liaocheng, Shandong) army soldier Gong Yi rebelled and attacked Laizhou (now Ye County, Shandong); Ye Nong, a soldier of Jianzhou, rebelled and attacked Fuzhou; The military thief Du Yong rebelled and occupied Chenzhou (now Huaiyang, Henan); Defeated the Song Jin rebelled and committed Taizhou (Jiangsu); Guanzhong thief Shi Bin committed Xingzhou (now Luoyang, Shaanxi) and claimed the title of emperor; Huainan thief Liu Zhong committed Qizhou (now Qichun, Hubei), entered Shuzhou (now Qianshan, Anhui), and killed Sun Zhiwei; Jingdong thief Li Yu trapped Yanzhou; Guizhong, a thief in western Beijing, was trapped in Yuezhou (now Yueyang, Hunan); Huainan thief Jin Sai committed Tongzhou (Jiangsu) ...... These are just a few. Is Han Shizhong strict in governing the army? But his junior colonel Li Zai also dared to occupy Gaoyou (Jiangsu) to make trouble, and on the way to transfer Gaozong's base camp to Yangzhou, Han Shizhong's subordinate commander Sun Qi, just because Zuo Zhengyan (the name of the official) Lu Chenzhong reprimanded the imperial camp guards for acting without military discipline, and actually chased them to death under Gaozong's nose, and then led the headquarters to rebel, Zhang Jun, who was the imperial historian at the time, immediately took Han Shizhong's observation envoy to show punishment, "The upper and lower levels know that there is a national law." And Fan Qiong, the former general of the imperial camp Pingkou, led troops from Dongping to Shouchun, and his troops actually killed the guard Deng Shaomi. At that time, Cao Cheng in Jiangxi, Yang Mo in Hunan and other rebels all had no less than 200,000 thieves, and as for the rebel forces of 10,000 people, the commanders of the grass heads were innumerable and abounded.

What's even worse is that in March of the third year of Gaozong, Gaozong personally allocated the subordinate control of Miao Fu, and Liu Zhengyan, the deputy commander of the right army of the imperial camp, because of his dissatisfaction with the personnel, in the Jin soldiers trapped Luzhou, the water thief Shao Qing fell into Sizhou (west of Huai'an, Jiangsu, destroyed in the year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and then not in Huze Lake), he actually launched a mutiny, killed more than 100 ministers and chamberlains, forced Gaozong to abdicate, and supported his brother Qinzong's young son who was still nursing, and asked the Empress Dowager Longyou (Gaozong's sister-in-law, Qinzong's wife) to listen to the government, resulting in Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Lu Yihao, Zhang Jun and other major generals withdrew the main force of the Song army from the front line, and returned to the army Qin Wang, causing the people to be in chaos, the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to attack, and Tokyo stayed in Du Chong to fear the battle, and also gave up Tokyo in the name of King Qin, and retreated to Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), and the chief official of Shandong knew that Liu Yu of Jinan Prefecture reduced Jin, and Henan and Shandong were lost.
Although only a month after Longyou returned to Gaozong, Miao and Liu Yongbing refused to fight, strengthened the civil strife, restrained a large number of anti-Jin forces, and made the Jin Wushu 100,000 army like no one, occupied Jiankang in one fell swoop, and then marched to the Southern Song Dynasty base camp Mingzhou (now Ningbo) under the city, forcing Gaozong to avoid the enemy at sea. And Zhang Jun, who was responsible for defending the base camp, actually led troops to avoid the battle without authorization in order to preserve his strength, so that the Jin soldiers took advantage of Gaozong's unpreparedness to sneak into the sea on the night of the heavy thunderstorm to attack the imperial ship. At this time, in Qianzhou (now Ganzhou, Jiangxi), where the Empress Dowager Longyou took refuge, the guards and the militia attacked each other, set fire to and plundered for three days, tens of thousands of militia besieged the city, and the rebel general Hu You also came to join in the fun. At the same time, the Jin soldiers trapped Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan) and slaughtered the city. The Jin soldiers retreated, and the rebellious people of Dingzhou (now Changde, Hunan) took the opportunity to rise up, claiming to be the king of Chu and trapping Li Zhou (lǐ, now Li County); Jiang and Huai Xuanfu Division defeated Li Xuan and trapped Zhenjiang; And Du Yan, the commander of the guard, and Yang Shixiong, the rear army, supported the rebellion in Jiangxi, captured Yongfeng County, and killed Zhao Xunzhi of Zhi County-

This is the situation in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty - several roads of wolf smoke, beacon fires everywhere, internal and external attacks, thousands of holes, where is it still like a country, it is simply a big colander! At this moment, do you think that the national policy of the Southern Song Dynasty is to gather troops for the Northern Expedition as the first major plan? Or is it the first major plan to rectify internal governance and unblock government decrees? Without unimpeded decrees, there can be no unified military command. Without a unified military command, it is impossible to organize effective resistance. Without effective resistance, how can there be a solid national defense? Without a solid national defense, how can we talk about the great cause of the Northern Expedition and the recovery of the homeland? To rectify internal governance, it is necessary to have a relatively stable situation, and this stable situation can only come from peace negotiations. Therefore, Gaozong said that "the policy of negotiation and peace should be determined from my will", which is not to cover up for Qin Hui, but to seek truth from facts. It's just that four years before Gaozong, Jin was chasing and beating Song Qian and trying to destroy Song in one fell swoop, and Song was in a tired situation where he only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.
Shouldn't those who still criticize peace under patriotic slogans re-examine the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty and the only Song Gaozong who was qualified to establish and lead the Southern Song regime?
Yue Fei and National Heroes (3)
Xing Weihua transferred from Iron Blood http:///
In the second half of 2004, the unit in charge of teaching materials under the Ministry of Education changed the definition of Yue Fei as a national hero in the Chinese textbook to "a famous anti-Jin general." This aroused strong repercussions in society, and even the most famous historian of our time, who is said to be the most famous historian of our time, came out to oppose it, on the grounds that Yue Fei's definition of a national hero has become an unshakable historiographical conclusion.
It is a pity that many of the historiographical conclusions of these lovely historians of ours today are often ruthlessly overturned by history, and at least their conclusive history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has a great need to be reconstructed. As for whether Yue Fei is a famous general of the anti-Jin Dynasty or a national hero, it doesn't really matter, what matters is the criteria for evaluating national heroes, what is it?
Han Shizhong, the word Liangchen, is a native of Yan'an. The wind and bones are majestic, and the eyes are like electricity. In his early years, he was brave and could ride a foal. At the age of eighteen, he joined the army, galloped and shot, and bravely won the three armies. Later, he was the commander-in-chief of the Huaidong Front, one of the five main forces of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In April of the fourth year of Gaozong, when the 100,000 troops of Jin Wushu directly penetrated the heart of the Southern Song Dynasty returned north, Han Shizhong dared to stop him on the Yangtze River with only 8,000 men and horses. What impressed Jin Wushu the most was that Han Shizhong faced an overwhelming advantage of more than ten times, that is, he did not use ambushes that were more common to win more with less, nor did he use lightning sneak attacks, but chose the face-to-face decisive battle method that he would never dare to choose in this situation, and accepted his battle book nonchalantly.

After the first battle, I am afraid that it will be the end of the golden world, and only this vultures will be the best at explaining what it means to be ten with one? What is the Last Stand? What does it mean that all the plants and trees are soldiers? History:
"On the Yuan Festival, (Han Shizhong) held a high meeting on Xiuzhou (now Jiaxing, Zhejiang), and suddenly led troops (overnight) to Zhenjiang. And the Jin soldiers arrived, then the Shizhong Army has first tun Jiaoshan Temple. Jin General Li Xuan surrendered and accepted it. The Wushu sent an envoy to ask questions, and the war was about to be fought on a Japanese basis. The general Shihe, Mrs. Liang (Hongyu) personally held the drum, and the golden soldiers could not cross. Returning to the plundered false way (offering to put down the things that have been looted all the way, and let them go back), they do not listen; Please offer it as a famous horse, and don't listen. Tart lazy (Jin left deputy marshal, Shi Wushu for Jin right deputy marshal) in Weizhou (now Weifang, Shandong), sent Xiao Jin Taiyi to Huaidong to aid Wushu, Shizhong and the two chiefs held Huang Tiandang for 48 days. Taiyi Jian's army was in the north of the river, the Wushu army was in the south of the river, and Shizhong entered the Jinshan with a sea ship, and pre-awarded the strong people with an iron hook (the Song army ship was large, and was ready to use an iron chain to tie the big iron hook to deal with the Jin army boat that forcibly crossed the river). Tomorrow, the enemy boat is noisy and forward, Shizhong divides the sea boat into two out of its back, each of which is a boat, and a boat sinks. The vultures are poor, begging for words, and praying for great sorrow. Shizhong said: 'Return my two palaces (Huizong and Qinzong), and restore my territory, and you can complete it. 'Vulture glossy. After a few days of begging for a goodbye, Shizhong wanted to shoot it with a bow, and he was eager to go...... It is also a service, with 100,000 Wushu soldiers and only more than 8,000 Shizhong. ”

It was in this battle that Yue Fei took the initiative to cooperate with Han Shizhong to intercept it by land, and took advantage of the situation to recover Jiankang Empty City. At that time, Yue Fei was only a commander, equivalent to today's regiment-level cadres, while Han Shizhong was already an official in western Zhejiang, supported Gaozong, quelled the rebellion and resisted Jin, and made outstanding achievements.
Wu Jue, the word Jinqing, Shao Shen Yi has ambitions, knows soldiers and is good at riding and shooting, and can read to understand righteousness. Zhenghe Zhong (Huizong Dynasty), the Xia people committed the border, supplemented the righteous lieutenant with merit, and was promoted to the tenth general of Jingyuan. At the beginning of Jingkang, the Xia people attacked the Huaide army, pursued with more than 100 horses, beheaded one hundred and forty ranks, and promoted to the second deputy general. Later, he was the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Front, one of the five main forces of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In February of the eighth year of Gaozong, Jin Wushu led the Jin general to drink away, Han Chang and the pseudo-Qi general Liu Kui led 100,000 cavalry to invade Shaanxi. His younger brother Wu Luan led the light troops to rush to the aid of the Seven Directions Pass, and fought hard with the Jin soldiers for seven days and nights, and then he had to join with Jiu.
In history, "The enemy's head attacked the camp and the enemy shot it away." He also attacked the wall with a ladder, and Yang Zheng (Song General) smashed his ladder with a ramming rod and pierced it with a spear. He drew his sword and painted the ground, and said that the generals said: 'If you die, you will die, and those who retreat will be killed!' 'The Jin division army is two, the Wushu array is in the east, and the Han Chang array is in the west. In the meantime, the rate is sharp, left and right, and it is random. After a long battle, the army was tired, and the second pass was urgent. Jin Sheng's soldiers followed, and the people were heavily armored (two layers of armor) and connected by iron hooks, and the fish ran up. They shoot with garrison arrows (a kind of hard crossbows fixed to the bed in rows, which can penetrate heavy armor), and the arrows rain down like rain, and the dead are piled up, and the enemy climbs (stepping on the slope formed by the corpses to attack upward). Sali drank and looked around at the horse and said, "I have it." (I made it!) The result is still unsuccessful) the next day, ordered to attack the northwest building, Yao Zhong (Song General) climbed the building to fight, the building tilted, with silk as a rope, to restore the right (there are many people on both sides to press the building crookedly, temporarily use a cloth to pull the rope, forcibly pull the correction, it can be seen that the battle is fierce). The golden man attacked the building with fire and extinguished it with wine. Ji hurriedly sent Tian Sheng, the commander, to strike left and right with a long knife and axe, and the torch was bright and the four mountains were shaken. Tomorrow, a big army. Commander Wang Xi and Wang Wu led the sharp soldiers, divided the purple and white flags into the gold camp, and the golden array was chaotic.

Zhang Yan, the commander of the Imperial Command, robbed the village, and Wang Jun returned to the river pond and was defeated. With Guo Zhen's ineffective battle, he was killed.

This passage is not difficult to read, and it is written in a tense and realistic manner. Wu Jue and Wu Ling brothers have been sticking to the front line in Shaanxi, Wu Jue died of illness in the 14th year of Gaozong in Xianren Pass, and his younger brother later took over the important task of defending Shaanxi.
Liu Jian, the word Uncle Xin, the ninth son of Liu Zhongwu, the envoy of the Huchuan Army. Beautiful manners, good at shooting, 100 steps through the Yang, the sound is like a bell. It has been on the front line in Shaanxi. In the tenth year of Gaozong, he promoted the Suwei pro-army (the general of the Praetorian Guard who protected the emperor). When Gaozong was stationed in Pingjiang, because Xie Qian (also Su Wei's personal general) and Wang Yan (a famous general of the anti-Jin Dynasty, the founder of the Bazi Army, and later mentioned in a special article) were both dismissed in order to pursue the fugitive soldiers, and Liu Qi was ordered to general the two armies. The horse infantry army is divided into front, rear, left, right, middle army and Youyi six armies, each army has 1,000 people, set up 12 generals, and Hu Cong went to Jinling. Eleven years, handsome Hefei; In the twelfth year, Shujingkou (now Jingkou District, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, the ancient ferry port of Yangzhou on the other side of the river). In the thirteenth year, he was awarded the regimental training envoy of Guozhou (now Nanchong, Sichuan, vacant post), the commander of the four compartments of Longshenwei (real title), and was in charge of the guard horse military division.
When the Song and Jin negotiations were successful, Jin returned to Henan and Shaanxi to invade the land, and the heart of the annuity to break the contract was clear, and the base camp ordered Liu Jian to stay in Tokyo (now Kaifeng) as the deputy commander, similar to today's deputy commander of the garrison area, the office was in Tokyo, and the actual defense place was Shunchang (now Fuyang, Anhui), that is, the second line of defense to meet Tokyo. There were 37,000 people in the Bazi Army, except for some who remained to serve as janissaries, but in fact only 20,000 followed, claiming to be 30,000. Lin'an (now Hangzhou) is 2,200 miles away from Shunchang, everyone takes the waterway, along the Yangtze River down the Huai River, when it is 300 miles away from Shunchang, they receive the news that the Jin defeated the alliance to attack the Song Dynasty, that is, the boat landed, and took the general Zuo to Shunchang day and night, at this time the Jin people have entered Tokyo, and Henan is lost.

The city of Shunchang was low and dilapidated, not easy to defend, and the people were retreating, and at this time Jin Qianfeng had advanced to the border city of Huaining (now Huaiyang, Henan), which was only a few days away from Shunchang. All the generals said: "The Jin soldiers are fierce, let's choose the elite palace, the family members get on the boat, ride on both sides of the river to cover, and return to the south of the river downstream." ”。 Liu Jian sent people to urge the subordinates, and on the other hand, he summoned a meeting of the generals, and said firmly: "I was originally the deputy of Tokyo to stay behind, and Shunchang designated a defensive place for us. I have made up my mind, and those who dare to abandon the defenders will be killed! ”
In the ensuing discussion, everyone also recognized the situation: the Jin army had the most cavalry, and if the Song army retreated from the river, it would walk slowly, and there would be no barrier. If the dangerous city is held, it may be possible to survive. As a result, everyone strengthened their determination to stick to it.
Liu Qi scuttled the boat and sunk the ship, and arranged the family in a temple, filled with dry firewood inside and outside, ordered his own soldiers to guard, and strictly said: "Once the city is broken, my family will be burned, and the enemy will not be humiliated!" ”
The Jin soldiers besieged the city, Liu Qiyu first set up an ambush under the city, captured a thousand households and two others, interrogated and learned that the enemy and Han Changbu were camped thirty miles away from here, unsuspecting, so they sent more than 1,000 people to attack at night, killing and wounding many people. Tomorrow, tens of thousands of Jin soldiers will attack, Liu Qi ordered the doors to be opened, and the Jin people hesitated and did not dare to take a step closer. Suddenly, with a strong crossbow from the city condescending to shoot hard, forcing the enemy to retreat, and then with infantry assault, chasing and killing the Jin soldiers and drowning in the river of the dead is invincible (Shunchang before the Ying River), but also broke its iron cavalry thousands.

After being besieged for four days, the golden soldiers were prosperous, and they were twenty miles away from the city. Liu Qi sent Yan Chong to recruit 500 strong men, attacked the enemy camp at night, and forced the Jin soldiers to retreat fifteen miles. Liu Qi recruited another 100 people and went straight to the gold camp. When the thunderstorm was great, the 100 people were up and slashed by lightning, and the lightning stopped and hid and did not move, causing the enemy to be in chaos, fighting all night long, accumulating corpses in the wilderness, and retreating in embarrassment.
The base camp received the report and specially awarded Liu Qi Dingzhou Observation Envoy, Privy Deputy Envoy, and Envoy along the Huai System. And asked Qin Hui to send a book in the name of the base camp, saying that the enemy had been defeated, and it was difficult to defend alone, and he would accept it when he saw it, that is, withdraw to the south.
When the commander of the Jin Army, Wushu, heard this in Tokyo, he shouted to prepare his horse and get his boots, and ran outward, passing Huaining for only one night, not seven days to Shunchang. When Liu Qi first heard that the Wushu was coming, he would ask the generals in the city for advice, and everyone said that they had won many victories today, and if the base camp wanted to withdraw its troops, it was advisable to take advantage of this situation, straighten out the boats, and return with the whole army. Liu Qi replied excitedly: "The imperial court has raised soldiers for fifteen years, which is being used for today's dynasty. If we withdraw our troops at this time, not only will our previous achievements be wasted, but the enemy will take advantage of the situation to occupy the two Huai and force Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
Everyone was excited, and never gave up.

Liu Qi sent his subordinate general Geng Xun to write a war letter, saying: "Our Taiwei (Liu Qi) wants to fight a decisive battle with you, and I am afraid that you will not dare to wade across the river, so I am willing to sacrifice five pontoon bridges." "Tomorrow, Liu Qiguo will build five pontoon bridges on the Yinghe River. The enemy crossed the river and lined up, and the generals asked to fight the defeated general Han Chang's army first, Liu Qi said: "Although it is easy to beat him, but the elite soldiers of the vultures are still there, so the vultures should be attacked first." Once the vulture fails, there is nothing left to do. ”
When the weather was hot, the enemy was tired from afar, and he could not disarm day and night, while the Song army waited for work and did not move. In the afternoon, the hostility subsided, and Liu Qi sent hundreds of people out of the west gate to shout and feint, but thousands of people lightly went out of the south gate and rushed straight into the enemy formation. The seized car flags and armor were piled up like mountains.
The Jin army retreated, and Liu Qi sent troops to chase and kill more than 10,000.
The good news came, Gao Zong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the base camp specially awarded Liu Qi Wutai Army Festival Envoy, Guard Ma Jun Du Yu Hou, Zhi Shunchang Mansion, and Along the Huai System Envoy.
Wei Sheng, whose name is Yanwei, is a native of Suqian County, Jiangsu. Wise and brave, good at riding and shooting.
In the thirty-fifth year of Gaozong, the gold lord Wanyan Liang wanted to betray the alliance and invade the south, gather grain to make weapons, and borrow the people as soldiers. As a civilian, Wei Sheng sensed the intentions of the Jin people, recruited 300 loyal and brave soldiers, crossed the Huai to attack Lianshui, captured Haizhou (now Haizhou Town, Lianyungang, Jiangsu), and declared the virtue of the imperial court all the way, and killed no one in vain. Subsequently, more than 1,000 Jin soldiers were defeated and Gao Wenfu and his son were killed, and people were sent to the counties of Qushan, Huairen, Muyang, and Donghai, all of which were under command. exempt from rent and taxes, release prisoners, distribute warehouses, and reward soldiers; Divide loyal and righteous soldiers into the five armies, and discipline is clear. The response from far and near was only ten days old, and thousands of troops were gathered. Immediately sent someone to report to the border marshal, hoping to get support from military uniforms and armor, but there was no reply. Transferred from Iron Will

More than 10,000 Jin soldiers came to attack, Wei Sheng set up an ambush to kill 1,000 people under the enemy commander, and 300 people were lowered, and the army was even more vibrant. Hundreds of thousands of Yishan people revolted in Cangshan, and the Jin people besieged it urgently. Wei Sheng raised troops to rescue, but mistakenly fell into an ambush by the Jin. Wei Sheng slashed the big knife in his hand, rode alone behind the palace, and covered his subordinates to retreat into the cottage. Five hundred enemy horsemen surrounded him. Wei Sheng rode a single knife, galloped back and forth, killed the enemy's circle and opened a few times, dozens of shots in the body, just when the encirclement was highlighted, the mount fell to the ground with an arrow, Wei Sheng rose up, entered the village on foot, and none of the Jin soldiers dared to go forward.
The Jin people Zhoushan battalion, the more urgent the attack. Wei Shengdu must attack Haizhou, and sneak out of the cottage to return to the city. Jin Renguo withdrew his army to attack Haizhou, fought hard in Shengdeng City, arrows through his nose and teeth, and his diet was wasted, but he still led the people to fight hard for seven days, and won successive battles.
Wei Sheng rebelled behind enemy lines for three months, and was only allowed to be placed along the coast, so that Li Bao learned when he sent his son Li Gongzuo's fleet to explore the enemy in the sea lane, and the base camp began to know his merits. And when the gold lord Wan Yan Liang raised troops to attack Song Duhuai, he was afraid that Wei Sheng would attack him, so he divided tens of thousands of troops to attack. At this time, Li Baoshuai's navy fought against the Jin fleet, and Wei Sheng led people to cooperate and broke the Jin navy. Immediately returned to Haizhou to defend against the enemy, after the attack and retreat, repeatedly built miraculous feats, the base camp was awarded to the pavilion according to the merits, and the loyal and righteous army of Haizhou and Shandong Road was unified.
The Jin people sent 100,000 troops to attack Haizhou. Li Baoshuai's army advanced by land and water, Wei Sheng led the army to break the golden soldiers, the beheading was incalculable, the weir water did not flow, and the rest of the army was defeated. Shengdu led his troops to chase twenty miles to the north, to Xinqiao, and broke it, and obtained his saddle horse armor. Li Bao also led the army to Haizhou for an enterprising plan.

Jin sent more than 200,000 troops to attack Haizhou, and Li Bao led the officers and troops to board the ship to avoid the battle in the name of defending the sea road. The Jin soldiers gathered, Wei Sheng led the people's army to resist the battle alone, and from Dan to Dusk, the Jin soldiers could not go any further. At that time, the people thought that Li Bao had boarded the boat, and they were afraid of the gold soldiers, and they all wanted to enter the city, and they won the door to accept it. Then the Jin soldiers besieged the city several times, and the victory was silent. The Jin army was suspicious and did not dare to attack for several days. After the courage to attack the city, the victory is to wait for its approach, suddenly the drum and flag, the arrows and stones are fired, the battle is three days and nights, the golden soldiers are still not allowed to take a step forward. So he struck down, built a camp outside the city, cut off the river, and tried to hold on. Sheng repeatedly took advantage of his unpreparedness to cover the attack, either sending troops to rob the camp at night, burning his attack equipment, or harassing him alone, so that the golden soldiers could not rest.
Even though the Jin people were in a hurry to attack, Shengsu was anxious for Li Bao, and replied that the base camp had ordered the general Zhang Zigai to lead his troops to relieve the siege. The Jin people also knew that Song reinforcements were coming, and they had already retreated. Sheng took advantage of the situation to send troops to fight with the Jin army, beheading countless people and pursuing them for dozens of miles.
At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the old governor Zhang Jun was reinstated, and Zhaosheng went to Jiankang to inquire about military affairs. Awarded the victory of the Pavilion Gate Xuanzan Sheren, the commander of the loyal and righteous army on the eastern road and the former army of Zhenjiang Mansion stationed in Za, still guarding Haizhou.
The base camp also ordered Zhenjiang Yuqian to guard Haizhou with Wei Quan, and the governor also sent Jia Hezhong to serve as the envoy of Shandong and Hebei Road, control the army and horses on this road, and stationed in Haizhou. Jia actually secretly lured the loyal and righteous army away from Wei Sheng's command, and Jia repeatedly distinguished right from wrong, and Jia slandered again, causing Wei Sheng to be dismissed, changed to the deputy head of the Mabu Army on Jingdong Road, and the control of the Governor's Mansion, and transferred to Jiankang Mansion to station. However, the Governor soon recognized the false accusations and reverted to his old position. Victory is returned to Haizhou, the pacification of one party, and the people's peace and government. Soon, the Jin and Song Dynasty negotiated peace, took Haizhou as the golden land, ordered Wei Sheng to know Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu), and went to the post with Haizhou officials and troops. When the peace talks were still ongoing, the Jin people wanted to take the opportunity to seize the mouth of the Qinghe River and choke the three provinces. Then he used the grain ship to carry the armor out of the Qing River. But he didn't want Wei Sheng to enjoy comfort in Chuzhou at all, and the handsome and loyal people were guarding the Qinghe estuary. The commander of Huaidong did not allow Wei Sheng to start a war on the grounds that peace was being negotiated. As a result, the Jin cavalry pressed the border, Wei Shengdu led the headquarters to refuse the battle, from morning to night, the Jin reinforcements were so large that Shengsheng sent people to Chuzhou, forty miles away, to report to the emergency, and the commander did not send a single soldier. Wei Sheng is difficult to support independently, the arrow is exhausted, so he has to order the foot soldiers to be in front, and the cavalry retreats behind the palace, unfortunately when he retreats to the eighteen miles east of Huaiyin, he unfortunately fell from his horse and died at the age of forty-five.

May I ask, whether it is a national hero according to his military exploits, according to his identity, or a national hero according to national consciousness and awe-inspiring righteousness, which of the above-mentioned monarchs is not enough? If they can be called famous anti-gold generals, why can't Yue Fei be called them? If Yue Fei must be a national hero, then why can't they be a national hero?
What is our criterion for judging national heroes?
Xing Weihua
Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty who established the Song Dynasty, died without completing the great cause of unification, and was succeeded by his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, who was Taizong. In the first month of the fourth year of Taizong, after a long period of preparation, the Song launched a full-scale attack on the last secessionist power, the Northern Han, and won a complete victory in only five months. Taizong immediately commanded the army to take advantage of the victory to attack Liao (Khitan), Yizhou, Zhuozhou looked at the wind and surrendered, and the army approached the city of Youzhou (now Beijing), and the army was mighty. Although it did not take Youzhou in July, it frightened the nearby Shunzhou and Jizhou guards to hand over the city.
It's just that the show ended in a hurry, because the Song army, which was in its prime, and the Liao reinforcements of Yelu Xiuge were defeated in a battle, so they had to go home. You may think that the failure of this expedition to Liao is due to the underestimation of Liao's strength and too hasty, if you are fully prepared to fight a small Liao country, why is it difficult? It's a pity that Song Taizong also thinks so. In October of the following year, the army was sent to fight Mozhou (now Renqiu, Hebei) with the main force of the Liao army, and the result was another defeat. Taizong was so angry. After five years, I feel that the Song Dynasty is dignified, the country is rich and the people are strong, why can't I defeat a barbaric Khitan tribe? So he organized the Northern Expedition of the Fourth Route Army again. In the first two Northern Expeditions, except for a few people such as historians, most people were relatively vague, but this Northern Expedition is a household name today and is well known to everyone, because the chief and deputy commanders of the Yanmen Road this time are Pan Mei and Yangye. And Yangye lured the enemy to be captured and went on a hunger strike in the aftermath of the Northern Expedition to relocate the people. Transferred from Iron Will

Among Song Taizong's three northern expeditions, this one was the largest, the most well-prepared, and the offensive was the most unprecedented, and it was also the most exciting, but also the most distressing. Since then, Taizong has been ashamed of the Northern Expedition. However, the Song Dynasty not only could not quell the Liao Dynasty in the northeast, but also caused Li Jiqian of the Dangxiang clan in Xiazhou in the northwest to rebel, harassing for a long time and fighting continuously.
After Taizong's death, his son Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne as Zhenzong. In the seventh year of Zhenzong, Ren Kou Zhun was the prime minister, and a month later, the Empress Dowager Liao Xiao and her twelve-year-old son Liao Shengzong sent 200,000 troops to attack the Song Dynasty, approaching Dingzhou, Hebei today. Zhenzong's supervisor personally marched to Shanzhou (Chán, now Puyang, Henan), and the Song army from all walks of life fought bravely and broke the Liao army. In particular, in the battle of Yingzhou (Yíng, now Hejian, Hebei), Li Yanwu (wò) of Zhizhou defeated more than 100,000 Liao soldiers and killed more than 30,000 enemies. Moreover, the Song army in the northern city of Lanzhou shot Xiao Dalan, the commander of the Liao army, with a crossbow, and the military prestige was greatly boosted, so that the Empress Dowager Xiao knew that the Liao and Song countries were enemies, and the two heroes could not say victory or defeat. Previously, the two sides had made peace, and the two sides made a decision on this peace and Italy. When the city of Lanzhou crossed both banks of the Yellow River (later due to the river break, it was diverted to the south), and the name of the place between the water was "Yuan", so it was also called "Yuan". This is the famous "Abyss Alliance" in history.
In the twenty-second year of Huizong, the Song Dynasty and the emerging Jin attacked Liao, which had already been beaten by Jin and had no power to fight back, but the Song Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops were repeatedly defeated in battles with the Liao general Xiao Gan District and 10,000 people, not only losing troops and generals, but also losing all the weapons, grain and grass accumulated over the years. According to the agreement, after the destruction of Liao, the Liao capital Yanjing (now Beijing) was returned to the Great Song Dynasty, so Yanjing should have been attacked by the Song army, but the Song army's 5,000 light cavalry was defeated by Xiao Gan's 3,000 men and horses after attacking the empty city, and they were unable to fight again. had to secretly ask the Jin people for help, and how could they pay it back after they won the first battle? As a result, Tong Guan, the leader of the army, could only be redeemed by Yanjing's annual tax of one million guan, and the gold was thus light. Three years later, Jin completely destroyed Liao, and then sent troops to invade Song. As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed in a few months. Transferred from Iron Will

When Jin Taizu established the Dajin State after Yan Aguta, his armed forces had just reached 10,000 people, but in only 12 years, Jin destroyed Daliao. Although this was caused by the corruption of the Liao Dynasty, its rapid success also brought huge hidden dangers to the political system and the people's hearts and minds of Dajin. The Jurchens, who did not have much political experience, were already struggling to rule the Khitan people and the Mongol tribes of the original Great Liao, and if they were added at the same time with a political system and economic strength far superior to that of the Liao Dynasty, it would be difficult for them, even any nation in the world at that time to have this ability. In a figurative phrase, it means that you eat too much at once, and you don't need others to do anything to you, and you can support it to death.
The difficulty of Jingkang fully illustrates this point. According to the concept of the Han nation, if the capital of a country is captured and the head of a country is captured, the country will be destroyed, not to mention two heads! But Dajin didn't understand this, they may understand this for other ethnic groups, but for the Han people, at least at that time, this concept had not been established. In their eyes, the two emperors were just two unexpected high-grade trophies, and even they didn't know what the use of taking them back was. Because they didn't expect such a harvest at all. What they know more is that this is the greatest shame of the Han nation, and they will never give up with them! So they were more worried about the retaliation of the Han people at this time than ever. There are only two ways to solve this problem, one is to occupy it completely, and the other is to resolve the peace. Transferred from Iron Will
http:///
And Dajin at that time did want to swallow the Southern Song Dynasty in one bite, but Han Shizhong, the famous anti-Jin general, asked Jin Wushu, the leader of the Dajin main battle faction, to make Jin Wushu, and after Huang Tiandang reflected for forty-eight days, Dajin finally understood that resolving peace was far more realistic than completely occupying it. In fact, it was in such a critical situation in the Southern Song Dynasty that Gaozong still lost no time in issuing a pro-conquest order in Shaoxing, and with the joint response of Han Shizhong and other generals, he drove the Jin soldiers across the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and never let the Jin people find a chance to cross the Yangtze River.
So, does this mean that only half of the Southern Song Dynasty can completely defeat Dajin? Let's just look at the facts.
Liu Guangshi, his father is Liu Yanqing, who commanded 100,000 troops to defeat the remnants of Liao, and was repeatedly defeated by the Liao general Xiao Gan. When the Song 5,000 light cavalry successfully attacked Yanjing as planned, it was because Liu Guangshi, who was ordered to lead the infantry army to meet later, was afraid that the enemy would not be able to fight, so he suffered a crushing defeat.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers besieged Tokyo for the second time, Shaanxi Xuanfu made Fan Zhixu pass on the various roads under the rule of the King of Qin, when Liu Guangshi was appointed as the deputy head of the Yanlu Mabu Army (now Fuxian County, Yan'an, Shaanxi), and brought troops to the meeting, Fan Zhixu had a total of 200,000 troops on the fifth road, and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, Liu Guangshi was bound to lose, and he actually led troops to join Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Tokyo fell, the two emperors moved north, Zhao Gou ascended the throne, and Liu Guangshi, who was born in a handsome family, naturally became the object of dependence. However, like his father, he had no military discipline and often plundered places. In February of the third year of Gaozong, when Jin Shuai Zonghan (Sticky Han) waved his troops south, the army led by Liu Guangshi actually collapsed without a fight on the way to the Huai River to resist the enemy, until the enemy rode straight to the empty city of Yangzhou, forcing Gaozong to rush to the river in the middle of the night with three watches of armor and swords, and only crossed the river in a panic with a fluttering boat...... And Taichang Shaoqing Ji Ling was chased by Jin Bing and even lost the tablet of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin...... Transferred from Iron Will

In the fourth year of Gaozong, in order to prevent the Jin soldiers from crossing the river in the area of Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei), endangering the Empress Dowager Longyou, who was living in Nanchang, Jiangxi, the base camp ordered Liu Guangshi to garrison Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to control Qi and Huang, but after his arrival, he put wine and music all day long, ignoring the river defense, causing the Jin soldiers to cross the river in Huangzhou for three days without being conscious, forcing the Empress Dowager Longyou to take refuge in Qianzhou, and after hearing the alarm, she neither pursued the enemy to seek battle, nor dispatched to encircle, the only thing to do was to flee when he heard the wind......
When the Jin soldiers were attacking Huaidong, Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Anhui) had been besieged for 100 days, Gaozong personally ordered five codexes to save them quickly, but they did not dare to do it, only sent the troops to patrol lightly, captured and killed some enemy stragglers and cavalry. Only by recruiting and rebelling and expanding his own strength is the only thing that Yue Fei can do, so Yue Fei only fought alone with thousands of people and more than 200,000 enemies.
Later, Zhang Jun fought hard with the rebel general Li Cheng, and the base camp ordered him to take advantage of the weakness to divide his troops to attack the thieves' lair, but he couldn't use the excuse. Later, Gaozong ordered him to serve as a Xuanfu envoy of Huainan and Jingdong Road, stationed in Yangzhou, and painted Tuntian, although he was appointed, he never dared to cross the river; Gaozong summoned him to the base camp and personally ordered him to make the trip, but he still did not make the trip. In the case of Huaixi, the headquarters should have been located in Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui) on the north bank of the Yangtze River, or at least in Hezhou (now Hexian County, Anhui), but it has always refused to cross the river and has always relied on Taiping Prefecture (now Dangtu County, Anhui) in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the tenth year of Gaozong, Zhao Gou ordered the Northern Expedition to pro-conquest, and the pseudo-Qi Liu Yu asked Jin for help to no avail, and in a hurry, he cobbled together an army of 300,000 troops to counterattack in the name of Jin soldiers for defense, Liu Guangshi was frightened to abandon Luzhou, and retreated to Hezhou on all fronts, forcing the privy envoy Zhang Jun to send someone to give him a death order: "If one person crosses the river, he will be beheaded!" He was so frightened that he didn't dare to run backwards. Subsequently, the privy envoy Zhang Jun and others were impeached in a row, and Liu Guangshi took the opportunity to retire and devoted himself to running his own comfort zone.
Zhang Jun, at the age of sixteen, joined the army to fight, and repeatedly made military merits with bravery, and in the first year of Jingkang, he made meritorious service to defend Dongming County, Shandong Province to resist the enemy, and awarded the martial arts doctor. Jinwei Taiyuan, with the division to help, the first battle with hundreds of thousands of enemies, killed and wounded, won a thousand horses. The support division was surrounded, the division was killed in battle, Zhang Jun led hundreds of his subordinates to break through the siege, and the battle was carried out, the Jin soldiers chased to the Wuchuan River, Zhang Jun led the army to the back of the water, and killed more than 500 enemies. In the process of assisting Zhao Jian, the king of Kang, to suppress the thieves and quell the rebellion, he was in the first class in the process of assisting Zhao Jian to establish a base camp against Jin, and was awarded the command of the army. Zhao Gou ascended the throne, established the five armies of the imperial camp, and granted the former army command.
It can be seen that Zhang Jun is different from Liu Guangshi, he is a famous general who can fight in the early Southern Song Dynasty, and famous generals such as Yue Fei, Yang Yizhong, and Liu Ziyu are all out of the ordinary, and they are all recommended by him to become famous, so historians say that they are jealous of the virtuous and disabled, which is not accurate. However, in terms of greed for money and selfishness, he was no better than Liu Guangshi, and his family's land rent income was equal to that of Shaoxing Mansion, the richest at that time, and sometimes more than twice as much! It is said that he opened the most splendid restaurant in Hangzhou at that time, and there was so much silver that he couldn't count it. In order to prevent theft, he actually made a big silver ball of one thousand taels and named it "helpless", which made Gaozong repeatedly remind him not to compete with the people. What is even more disdainful in the military circles is that he regards his subordinates who fight for the country as unpaid hard labor to accumulate wealth for himself, not to mention that he is on a par with Liu Guangshi in terms of preserving strength. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of his army. Transferred from Iron Will

Therefore, from the fifth year of Gaozong, Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty entered a period of tug-of-war between Shaanxi, Hubei, and Jianghuai, with the pseudo-Qi as the main and the Jin soldiers as the auxiliary, and Gaozong took advantage of this opportunity to use the main generals and their main forces to clean up the rebellion, and Yue Fei gradually became a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty during this period.
It was also in this difficult process of reorganizing the old rivers and mountains that it took ten years of hard work for the monarchs and ministers to finally form the Shaanxi Front Army with Wu Jue as the commander-in-chief and 70,000 elite soldiers; the Hubei Front Army with Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief and 100,000 elite soldiers; the Huaixi Front Army, with Liu Guangshi as the commander-in-chief and 52,000 elite soldiers; the Huaizhong Front Army, with Zhang Jun as the commander-in-chief and 80,000 elite soldiers; With Han Shizhong as the commander-in-chief and 80,000 elite soldiers, the five main military forces of the Huaidong Front Army, supplemented by Liu Qi and Yang Yizhong's independent corps of 20,000 elite soldiers each for mobility. These more than 400,000 elite soldiers, starting from Xingzhou in Shaanxi Province in the west, running through Xiangfan in Hubei Province and Luzhou in Anhui Province in the middle, and reaching Huai'an in Jiangsu Province in the east, formed a heavy encirclement of the pseudo-Qi that occupied Henan and part of Huainan land, and for the first time had a slight upper hand in the comparison of strength against Jin.
It was also in this encouraging situation that in August of the tenth year after his succession, Gaozong issued the first Northern Expedition pro-conquest order against the puppet regime of Liu Yu of the puppet Qi in Lin'an (now Hangzhou) for the first time, and moved the base camp from Hangzhou to Jiankang on the Yangtze River, and at the same time decided to build a temple here and place the shrine of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin - this is already a sign of determination to build the capital here!

However, at such a critical moment, Li Qiong, the main general of the Huaixi Front Army, who had served as the pacification envoy of Chuzhou, the jurisdiction of the Huainan East Road Soldiers and Horses (Qián), the envoy of the Wutai Army, and the deputy commander of the left guard army of the Xingying, was dissatisfied with the personnel arrangement, and in August of the following year, he killed Lu Zhi, the secretary of the military department, and coerced the main force of the Huaixi Front Army of 40,000 people to surrender to the pseudo-Qi, which suddenly reversed the strength of the two sides! From then on, Gaozong completely gave up the idea of relying on the main battle faction and restoring his homeland by force, resolutely withdrew from Jiankang, built the capital Hangzhou, and negotiated peace.
Look at the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, and then look at the Dajin at this time, think about the Northern Song Dynasty back then, and then think about the Daliao back then, you know that Dajin could not swallow the Southern Song Dynasty in one bite at this time, but the Southern Song Dynasty only relied on a "Yuejia army", and it was impossible to defeat the Dajin who was in full swing. This is why Gaozong's Northern Expedition, "Liu Yu heard about the personal expedition and told the financial owner to ask for help, but he was not allowed" and should not ask for help.
Here, Jin has made it very clear that he abandoned Qi and Song's resolute attitude, and in the unfavorable situation of Li Qiong's rebellion and the Southern Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition had to be suspended, in November of that year, he unexpectedly abolished the Southern Song Dynasty's confidant Pseudo-Qi, promised to return Huizong's Zigong (the coffin containing the corpse, when Huizong was dead) and the empress dowager to return to the south, and also promised to return the Henan prefectures that originally belonged to the pseudo-Qi to the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally returned Shaanxi.

It is impossible for Yue Fei to go straight to Huanglong Mansion (5)
Xing Weihua
In 1141 A.D., that is, in the fourteenth year of Gaozong, the Jinbei League attacked the Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei led the army to Zhuxian Town, which was excited and eager to try in this counterattack. However, it is precisely this Zhu Xianzhen that has made us mistakenly believe for more than a thousand years that if Yue Fei does not die, if Yue Fei can be allowed to let go of his hands to fight, and if the Southern Song Dynasty does not use the twelve gold medals to recruit Yue Fei back, Yue Fei will definitely be able to completely regain the lost ground! Is that really the case? Transferred from Iron Will

Among the five main forces of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's army was undoubtedly one of the strongest main forces in the Southern Song Dynasty. The reason why the base camp wants to put the armies of Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun in the middle of the entire front is nothing more than because these two are not enterprising enough, and they have more than enough to defend, and at the critical moment, they have to put the knife on their necks, and they can really fight a few decent battles. And they are based on the Huai River in front, back to the Yangtze River, can advance will advance, can not advance then defend, can not hold then retreat, once the enemy follows up, it will become a lone army deep into the momentum, into the left has Yue Fei's 100,000 army, right has Han Shizhong's 80,000 army formed by the pocket. On the contrary, if they are placed on both sides of Yue and Han, once they retreat, the attacking army in the central part will have no way to retreat, and it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the Shaanxi front and the Huaidong front, and the Sichuan-Shu and Jiangnan will also be lost!
When Li Qiong rebelled in the thirteenth year of Gaozong, the central defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty only had 80,000 horses from Zhang Jun and 20,000 horses from Wang Dexin, the deputy general of the former Huaixi Front Army. There are also 20,000 people from Liu Qi, who has just arrived in Shunchang. Nominally, Wang De was under Zhang Jun's control, but Wang De made it clear to the base camp that he was unwilling to be under his command, and the base camp did not dare to be strong because Li Qiong was rebelling because of this, so after the Jin Back Alliance, Gaozong had to force Liu Guangshi, who had already been dismissed due to fear of war and war weariness, to be the commander-in-chief of the Huaixi front. Liu Guangshi reluctantly crossed the river to Hezhou, and he refused to take a step forward, which caused the actual disobedience of the various armies in Huaixi after the start of the war in the fourteenth year of Gaozong.

As mentioned earlier, when the Jin soldiers crossed the river, Liu Qi was on the boat rushing to Tokyo, and when he received the letter, he left the boat and boarded the car, and only a few people with him hurried to Shunchang City, and urgently sent people to urge the headquarters and ask for help from the base camp. As soon as the day dawned, the Jin army had arrived at the border city of Huaining in Henan (now Huaiyang, Henan, ancient Chen State, so it was also called Chenzhou), but fortunately the 20,000 soldiers of the department had arrived with their families and belonged to the fourth watch. The defense of Shunchang officially began at this time, which lasted a full thirty days, and Zhang Xian and Yao Zheng, who were sent by Yue Fei, and Wang De, who was sent by Zhang Jun, arrived after the end of the defense battle. Obviously, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty didn't think of what Liu Qi could fight here to defend Shunchang! It is precisely because of this that Qin Hui asked him to accept the army of 20,000 Song troops and the people of Shunchang after Liu Qi repelled the tens of thousands of troops of King Ge of the Third Road of Jin, and before the 120,000 troops of Jin Wushu were united, so as not to waste their achievements due to the disparity in strength. So, why didn't the Southern Song Dynasty base camp resolutely fight back? History:
"In May, the Jin people rebelled against the alliance, and the vultures were divided into four ways to attack. Yi You, Wushu entered Tokyo, stayed in Meng Yu to surrender to the city, Zhixingren Mansion Li Shixiong, Zhihuaining Mansion Li Zhengmin and Henan Prefectures surrendered. Bingxu, the Jin people fell into Gongzhou, and the retainer Wang Yu died. Scattered from the river to the Yongxing army, Shaanxi county officials all surrendered. Ding Hai, the Jin people fell into Nanjing, and Lu Yundi surrendered. Liu Qi led his troops to Shunchang Mansion. Ji ugly, the Jin people fell into Xijing, the left Li Yong, the deputy governor Sun Hui abandoned the city, and Li Xing led the troops to resist the battle, but did not resist. Xin Mao, Hu Shi will send Jing Yuan from Hechi to envoy Tian Sheng to meet the enemy Jin with 3,000 soldiers. Jing and Hu Xuanfu Si Zhongyi led Li Bao to defeat the Jin people in the realm of Xingren Mansion. Gui Si, knowing that Wang Yan of Bozhou first rebelled to Jin. The Jin people fell into the Yongxing army and tended to be phoenix. Ding You ordered Hu Shi to move the right guard army of Shaanxi to return to Shukou. With the theft of Fujian and Guangdong, the two road supervisors were ordered to leave the country to discuss together. Jihai ordered Liu Guangshi to be the envoy of Sanjing to help Liu Qi. Gengzi, with Wu Luan, controlled the military horses of Shaanxi Zhulu, and listened to Hu Shi's general to depose and dispose of the military. Xin Chou, the Jin people committed the stone wall of Fengxiang Mansion, and Wu Ling sent Yao Zhong and others to reject it. The Jin people besieged Yaozhou (now Tongchuan, Shaanxi), Guo Hao sent troops to rescue him, and the Jin soldiers relieved him. "Transferred from Iron Will

It can be seen clearly that before the start of the defense of Shunchang, not only did Yue Fei's frontal "Henan Prefectures Surrender", and there was little resistance, but what was even more severe was Yue Fei's left-wing Shaanxi front, and "all the county officials in Shaanxi Prefecture surrendered"! At that time, Wu Jue, the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Front Army, had died of illness in June last year, and the base camp sent the Sichuan system to make General Hu Shi lead the army, and each general divided his troops to garrison various places. "Shukou" is the mountain pass that enters Sichuan from the Qinling Mountains, and "Huantun Shukou" means that the Shaanxi army has been completely on the defensive and is doing its best to defend Sichuan.
So, why don't Shaanxi and Henan resist?
This is because in the previous peace treaty, it was stipulated that after Jin returned to Shaanxi and Henan, the officials appointed by the original Jin Dynasty could not be removed from their posts without cause in the Southern Song Dynasty. Jin's insistence on this clause was also for Jin's own interests, and the purpose was nothing more than to use this area as a military buffer zone to prevent the Southern Song Dynasty from betraying the alliance and retaliating. In order to actually control these two places, the Southern Song Dynasty has successively sent some officials to major cities in the past year, such as Liu Qi and Meng Yu, who surrendered to Tokyo, Lu Yundi, who stayed behind in Nanjing, and Li Yu, who stayed in Xijing, Sun Hui, the deputy governor, and Li Xing, who "led the army to resist the war", but after all, it was still a minority, so when the Jin people betrayed the alliance to attack the Song Dynasty, how could those officials appointed by the Jin give up their lives to hold on? And in order to preserve its strength and reduce losses, the base camp of the Southern Song Dynasty asked Liu Qi to accept it when he saw that it was good after repelling the Jin army, so as not to give up his previous achievements.

But it is precisely because of Liu Qi's unexpected victory in Shunchang with less, defeating the main force of the Jin army in a row, and winning a complete victory, that the golden vulture reproduced Gaozong's four-year 100,000 army broke through the Yangtze River defense line in one fell swoop and went straight to the heart of the Southern Song Dynasty.
So, is it possible that at this time, Yue Fei can take advantage of the complete victory in the defense of Shunchang, "cross the Yellow River, and go straight to Huanglongfu (the old capital of Jin, in present-day Jilin Province)"?
It's simply impossible!
In the history, "In the leap month, Zhu Youshuo, Zhang Jun sent Song Chao to defeat the Jin people in Zhujia Village, Yongcheng County...... Ren Chen, Yue Fei sent Zhang Xian to attack the Jin general Han Chang in Yingchang Mansion (now Xuchang, Henan), defeated him, and restored Yingchang. Bingshen, Zhang Xianfu Huaining Mansion...... Yue Fei sent Hao Hui (zhěng) and others to fight with the Jin people in the north of Zhengzhou and reverted to Zhengzhou. Li Xingfu Ruzhou (now Linru, Henan), fought with the Jin people in Heqing County, defeated it, restored Yiyang and other eight counties, and Li Cheng fled. Han Shizhong sent Wang Sheng and Wang Quan to attack Haizhou (now Haizhou Town, Lianyungang, Shandong), and held it to defend Wang Mountain. Wuxu, Zhang Jun led the command of Song Chao and Wang Debing in Chengfu County, Li Qiong and Ge Wang Bao fled, and then recovered Bozhou (now Boxian County, Anhui). Jihai, the Jin people saved Haizhou, the royal power and other counter-battles, defeated, and restored Huairen County. Gengzi, Zhang Jun abandoned Bozhou, and led the army to return to Shouchun.

It can be seen clearly that when Yue Fei was fighting with the Jin people, Zhang Jun and Wang De, who had conquered Suzhou, joined forces to respond to Yue Fei's right flank and captured Bozhou, Anhui, a strategic place between Yingchang, Henan and Xuzhou, an important town in Jiangsu. At this time, in addition to Yue Fei's left flank Shaanxi is a threat, the right flank has Shunchang Liu Qi, Bozhou Zhang Jun, Suzhou Wang De, Sizhou Yangyizhong, and Chuzhou Han Shizhong. But the problem now is that in addition to Yue Fei's 100,000 army that can attack with one fist, Liu, Zhang, Wang, Yang, and Han Ke are not subordinate to each other. Liu Qi's main task was to hold Shunchang, ensure Yue Fei's right flank, Yangyizhong to hold Sizhou, and ensure Han Shizhong's left flank, these two armies were basically immobile. And Zhang Jun sent troops, not all 80,000 horses were dispatched, he also had to put the main force on the front line in the middle of the Yangtze River, to prevent defeat, to avoid the Yangtze River from becoming an air defense, so on the central front, only Zhang Jun and Wang De's 40,000 or 50,000 people could fight in a mobile battle, and these armies, Zhang Jun's subordinates, combat effectiveness, is far lower than Wang De. But what they are facing is more than 100,000 people in the Jin Silu army, Ge Wang Bao and the rebel general Li Qiong, if they go up and fight hard, it is obviously difficult to win. However, if at this time, under the condition of purging the Jin army in Anhui, these 40,000 or 50,000 people retreated to the Huai River for fortification, then not only could they rely on the Yangtze River defenders to respond, but they could also form a bag under the clamp of the Liu and Yang armies, effectively realizing the assistance of the four armies in the middle of the battle line. Therefore, after Zhang Jun occupied Bozhou for only six days, he urged Wang De to lead the main force to retreat across the Huai River in great strides and go to Shouchun to set up defenses!

After Han Shizhong conquered Haizhou, the only military action after that was to wave the army to attack the Huaiyang Army as a military barrier in Xuzhou (Xuzhou Xiapi, the place name of the Song Dynasty plus "army", similar to today's military region, the chief officer and military and political part-time; The Huaiyang Military Region can mobilize most of the Shandong troops), although it has entered the city gate, but it is still defeated in the end. Is this Han Shizhong's incompetence? No. In fact, although his subordinates claimed to be 80,000, in fact, there were only 30,000 horses on the Chuzhou front, and the rest of the men and horses were deployed in the vast Huaidong area behind him, like Zhang Jun, as a response in the event of a defeat and a reserve to prevent the Jin people from attacking the Yangtze River. However, he had to face the whole of Shandong and Xuzhou, which had been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the left wing only had more than 10,000 men and horses in Sizhou in Yangyi. After Zhang Jun and Wang De retreated across the Huai River, the base camp ordered Yang and Liu Qi to assist in the defense of Bo and Suzhou, while Yang could only personally lead 1,500 cavalry into Suzhou, and as the main infantry, they still needed to stay in Sizhou and assist in the defense of Chuzhou. History——
"The Jin people ordered to tell the enemy to ride hundreds of Liuzi Town. If you want to save it, you can hit it, or you think it is impossible, and you don't listen to it. Leaving Wang Zi and Xiao Bao to guard the night with thousands of horses, they attacked Liuzi Town at night with five hundred horses, and at dawn, they did not see the enemy and returned. The Jin people returned to the road with elite soldiers, and they knew it in their existence, so they ran sideways and collapsed. Senator Cao Xun didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and when he heard this, the court was terrified, so he had the right to surrender his life. Since the survival of the spring of the Huai Huai return to Si, the people's hearts have been at peace. "Transferred from Iron Will

Look at it more clearly, at this time, Yue Fei's right rear flank only had Liu Qi's 20,000 horses, but Yue Fei was in the situation that it was difficult to defend on both wings, "and sent troops to the east to aid Liu Qi and Guo Hao to the west, and drove the Kan Central Plains with his army commander." Guo Hao was an army in Shaanxi, and it was mentioned earlier that he aided Yaozhou (present-day Tongchuan, Shaanxi). And Yue Fei said that it was an army of 100,000, but he was responsible for the thousand-mile front from Wuchang to Xiangyang, in addition to the need to divide troops to aid Shaanxi, every time he hit a place, he also had to divide troops to defend, and when he hit Zhuxian Town, which was only 25 kilometers away from Tokyo, he couldn't pass 30,000 or 40,000 horses around him. When flying, he looked at the battlefield, saw the yellow dust covering the sky, and he fought with forty cavalry and was defeated", and Yue Yun attacked tens of thousands of gold soldiers with 800 cavalry, all of which were won with less. And the "defeat" of winning more with less is just a defeat, not a "total annihilation", the strength of the Jin army is still there, whether the Jin army wants to lure Yue Fei into Tokyo, gather and annihilate him, or really want to retreat across the Yellow River to avoid its front, Yue Fei only relies on these men and horses, if he really goes deep alone and fights the Yellow River, is it possible for him to come back?
Just think about the 100,000 troops of the Golden Vulture that fought in the south of the Yangtze River, but when they came back, they were beaten like that grandson by Han Shizhong's 8,000 people, you can know what the end of the strong crossbow is—at this moment, do you think Yue Fei should take advantage of the situation to cross the Yellow River and go straight to the Huanglong Mansion? Or should we immediately withdraw our troops back to Jingxiang? That's why the base camp has to issue twelve gold medals in a row in one day, and give a death order to let him retire from the army!

Later generations all lamented Yue Fei's "ten years of work, wasted!" "But who has asked matter-of-factly-
Who's the work of ten years? What is a waste?
Yue Fei did not break the "kidnapping horse" (6)
What is a "kidnapping horse"?
"History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Yue Fei" contains: "At the beginning, the Wushu had a strong army, all of them were heavily armoured, with Wei Suo, and the three of them were linked, called 'Kidnapping Horse', and the officers and soldiers could not be officers. It is a service, with 15,000 horses, and the flying ring foot soldiers enter the battle with a linen knife, do not look up, and cut off the horse's feet. The abductors and horses were connected, one horse servant, and the second horse could not work, and the officers and soldiers fought hard, and they were defeated. The great mourning of the Wushu said: 'The army from the sea, all won with this, and now it is over!' ’”
First of all, it should be pointed out that the historian who wrote this account is an ignorant fool in military science. Because the tactic of "flying ring foot soldiers enter the battle with a hemp sword, do not look up, and cut off the horse's feet" is not used to deal with "kidnapping horses" at all, but a typical combat method to deal with "light cavalry".

The cavalry system in Chinese military history began with the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" of King Zhao Wuling during the Warring States Period. Previously, China's military system was dominated by "vehicle warfare". And car warfare was the most effective means of warfare against the nomadic group's attack with cavalry as the main force at that time. However, the biggest flaw of chariot warfare is its inflexibility and slow speed, at most it can "crush" the cavalry, but cannot "annihilate" the cavalry. Since King Wuling of Zhao took the characteristics of the nomads' tight sleeves and light clothing, learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and established cavalry troops, China's military tactics have such advanced tactics as cavalry fighting infantry and chariot warfare against cavalry. However, no matter how advanced, the war was still fought with infantry groups as the main force. As a result, in the long process of evolution, the chariot gradually turned to the accompanying means of transport for the transportation of grain and grass armor, and only when it encountered the cavalry, it was connected into a "wall", and the infantry hid behind it, blocking the cavalry with bows and arrows.
However, the basic principle of war is to win. And the best way to win is to sneak attack or surprise attack. Therefore, when the infantry on the march or on the battlefield is suddenly attacked by the cavalry with lightning lightning, it is often too late or impossible to use the accompanying vehicles, which forces the infantry to find a tactic that does not rely on vehicles and can effectively deal with cavalry in the field. As a result, the tactics of infantry "point small units" against cavalry came into being.
Transferred from Iron Will http:///
This tactic is simple and flexible, and can be implemented anytime and anywhere, because it is set according to the "Shiren" structure of the basic unit of the military system, that is, today's "one squad". When a large-scale cavalry group raid is discovered, as long as the commander gives an order, everyone immediately sits on the ground under the leadership of their respective "Shi people" and takes the "Shi people" as a unit, facing the direction of the enemy cavalry, the first three soldiers sit on the ground, put the end of the spear on the ground, clamp their knees, clench their hands tightly, and the tip of the spear stabs obliquely to the front of one person high, forming the effect of "rejecting the horse"; The three soldiers of the second platoon, kneeling behind them, clenched their spears in both hands, their ends clamped under their armpits, and the tips of their spears pierced about one and a half to two people in front of them—the sole purpose of this formation was to prevent the horses from rushing forward and leaping; The three soldiers standing in the last row, armed with bows and arrows, were responsible for shooting men and horses directly in front of them, to the left and right. The chief is responsible for directing and observing the various orders of his superiors.
Such "Shiren" units are "one point" on the battlefield, and the spacing of the "points" ranges from a few meters to more than 10 meters, and the layout is staggered, seemingly random, but scattered but not chaotic, forcing the enemy cavalry to run around in the middle of these "points" and turn from tactical active attacks to tactical passive beatings.
In actual combat, the infantry also found that although the enemy cavalry had lost its ability to attack them, they could still run around the gaps in the "various points" after all, and did not lose their "maneuvering" ability. Attempts were made to sweep the horse's legs on the side with their spears and interfere with the horse's running, but they did not solve the fundamental problem, but it was on this basis that the infantry was inspired to install a hook-shaped scythe under the spear to sit on the ground or squat on the ground and cut the horse's legs. This is the "hemp knife" - a combat weapon in which a sickle is tied to a spear with hemp rope. Transferred from Iron Will
http:///
That is, the "hook and sickle gun" on the weapon spectrum of later generations.
However, it should be noted that the "hook and sickle" made of spear spurs and iron sickles is only a weapon on the "weapon spectrum", not a "real combat" weapon in military history. What was really used against cavalry was not the "hook and sickle", but the "hemp knife". In other words, the pre-built iron handle sickle is usually only an auxiliary instrument, which is separated from the body of the gun, because its hook-shaped blade is too easy to hurt people.
So, does this mean that the cavalry can no longer do anything with the infantry in the face of the infantry's "point test unit" tactics and "hemp knife" weapons?
No. Since the infantry can explore new tactics and weapons to restrain the cavalry according to their own strengths, the cavalry can also use their own specialties to explore the tactics of restraining the infantry and cavalry. Thus, in the history of the development of cavalry, there was a "heavy cavalry".
The so-called "reloading" is to put thick armor on both people and horses, so as to effectively prevent the damage of bows and arrows. And the weapons in the hands of the soldiers on the horse are no longer slender and light sabers, but are all replaced with stout spears, which are very similar to the "knights" in today's Western film and television dramas - when fighting, they also hold a spear in one hand and carry a rein in the other, relying on the impact of the horse to exert the sprinting power of the gun. Transferred from Iron Will
http:///
However, it also limits the horse's running speed and the flexibility of maneuvering between man and horse.
Therefore, the most taboo thing for heavy cavalry combat is to attack alone, or scatter impact. The best tactic is to form a phalanx, each of them to maintain a certain distance, start at the same time, not to seek fast, but to keep the same pace, although the speed is slower than the light cavalry, but far exceeds the running speed of the infantry, forming a row of rows, one side is not afraid of bows and arrows long-distance killing armor "wall", on the "wall" to protrude rows of spears with unprecedented penetrating power, which makes the infantry's point unit spear knife tactics suddenly useless.
First of all, they can't sit or kneel on the ground, they must stand up to meet the attack, but in the case of spears and bows and arrows losing their defensive and offensive effects, even if they can dodge the impact of the first row of heavy cavalry, it is difficult to avoid the impact of the second row, the third row and the back row after row of spears and armored horses, so it is easy to escape this catastrophe, in the face of the infantry group charging closely behind the cavalry, how much more confidence, courage and actual ability to fight back?
So, does this mean that at this time, the heavy cavalry is the magic weapon to dominate the battlefield and win?
No, it's the opposite. Since the birth of heavy cavalry, for a long time, it has not been able to become an effective means of victory on the battlefield. Transferred from Iron Will http:///
The tactical advantage of the hoplite cavalry lies in its ability to shock the group phalanx, but this is both its advantage and its disadvantage. Because it is called the battlefield, there must be an enemy, whether the opponent is light cavalry or infantry, after all, it is still a "soldier", as long as there is a slight resistance, it will cause the deformation of the heavy cavalry phalanx, which is bound to block the attack of the rear row, and weaken its combat effectiveness wave by wave. Therefore, since the emergence of heavy cavalry, it can only exert its impact power on special occasions and when light cavalry and infantry must ensure its safety, so it has not been able to become the key factor in determining the victory on the battlefield. And in history, it was the Jurchens who really gave full play to the potential of the hoplites and made the hoplites an absolute winning factor on the battlefield.
The earliest ancestor of the Jurchens was called the Yan Ya clan. 靺 (mò), socks made of leather; 鞨 (hé), shoes made of leather. It can be seen that the ancestors of the Jurchens were good at tanning, and they were obviously nomadic, supplemented by fishing and hunting. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his descendants lived in the area of Songhua River, Heilongjiang, Mudanjiang and Changbai Mountain in the northeast of today, and were divided into seven parts: Sumo, Bolu, Anchegu, Funi, Haofu, Heishui and Baishan, but by the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were only two parts of Sumo and Heishui. At this time, both departments were attached to Goryeo (Korea), Tang Taizong sent Li Ji to conquer Goryeo, and the Heishui Ministry sent 150,000 troops to help Goryeo, but was defeated by the Tang army in Anshi. After coming to the dynasty in the Kaiyuan period of Tang Xuanzong, Xuanzong sealed his ancestral residence as Heishui Mansion, and the leader was the governor of the capital, the history of the assassin, and sent officials to supervise its governance for the long history, gave the surname Li, the name of the city, and led the Heishui to pass the historical position. Later, the Khitan rose and cut off tribute. The Jurchens in the Songhua River and Mudanjiang areas returned to the Khitan and were called mature Jurchens. The Jurchens in the Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang areas who did not belong to the Khitan were called Jurchens and called themselves "White Mountain, Black Water". Transferred from Iron Will

When he was 60 years old, he decided to leave Goryeo and return to the country, but his brother Agunai did not want to obey him, and said, "There will be those who can meet in the future generations, so I will stay here." After Hanpu returned, he married a Jurchen Wanyan woman, and his descendants, Wanyan, gradually unified the Jurchen tribes and began the great cause of the Jurchen tribe to dominate the world. At this time, the descendants of Agunai also left their place of residence to join in. But no matter at this time, or later, the Jin country is the Jin country, and the Goryeo country is the Goryeo country, and the previous Qin, Han, Wei, Tang, and later Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, we and North Korea are all brothers, except for the late Qing Dynasty, the strength is not good, and we have always responded to requests. Han Chinese and Koreans have always enjoyed the right to live freely between the two countries. If (note: this is "if") some foolish ancestors who borrowed gold lived in the Baishan, Heishui, and North Korea areas, and said that our today's Changbai Mountain, Heilongjiang area, and even the Mudanjiang area are not ours, then you can completely refute him, it was the Jurchens who fought for hegemony for themselves, not for "other countries", and not for "which country" commanded the Jurchens to fight for hegemony. After the failure of the Dajin State established by the Jurchens, the Jurchens did not go to any country, but voluntarily integrated into the Chinese nation. If you follow this logic, then you should have melted in a long time ago?
The reason why the Jurchens are particularly fond of heavy cavalry construction is that in addition to the characteristics of their nomadic people in riding horses, the main reason is that the number of troops and resources is too small, so they take advantage of the advantages of more leather to develop heavy cavalry with great attack potential. And the decisive factor in the majesty of the hoplites in their hands was nothing more than a small "Veso" tied to the chew of the horse. Transferred from Iron Will
http:///
Wesso, that's the pimp. Or a rope cut from skin.
It is also such a small leather rope that makes the horse unable to change its direction no matter how panicked the horse is when it is disturbed by the impact, thus ensuring the powerful attack power of the heavy cavalry phalanx. Therefore, the Jurchens were able to win more with less back then, and were known as "the Jurchens are not more than 10,000, and they are invincible if they are more than 10,000".
The reason why the Jurchen improved hoplites were called "kidnapping horses" was not because they "turned out from both sides of the position to charge", as the historians said, because when the light cavalry attacked, they also rushed out from both sides of the position. And if you don't rush out from both sides, can you still step on the infantry in the middle of the position?
"Crutches" is another name for lame "lame" in the northern region, and the biggest gap between "crutches" and normal people is that in the speed ratio between the two sides, "crutches" are limited in speed due to the inflexibility of one foot. This term is used for heavy cavalry with the addition of "Wesso", which means that the horses will not be in unison without a certain amount of training. In particular, after the horses enter the inertial running phase, it is difficult to control the consistency of their speed, which is bound to cause the disharmony between the groups in a group of three horses where the fast ones are dragged by the slow ones, and the slow ones are accelerated by the fast ones, thus destroying the attack ability of the hoplite cavalry phalanx. Therefore, in training, it is necessary to tie the horse's two front legs with ropes of uniform length, so that when the horse runs up and enters the attack speed, the fast cannot be accelerated, and the slow cannot be slowed down, and the uniform speed is always maintained.

"Kidnapping horse" does not refer to its tactics, but to its speed limit.
In other words, in our military history, there has never been a "chain horse" that uses iron rings to connect heavy cavalry as written in "Water Margin"; And Xu Ning could not use the "hook and sickle gun" to break the "chain of horses". Only this kind of fictitious and speculative troops will "one horse servant, two horses can't do it". And the Jurchens "run through the horses" on the mouths of the horses, instead of the iron chains, is also afraid of the phenomenon of "one horse servant, two horses can't walk" - just a leather rope, casually cut with a saber and broken, so if one horse servant, two horses will do the same. Obviously, the Jurchens back then were much smarter than Shi Nai'an, who wrote "Water Margin", and the directors who filmed the "Water Margin" TV series. Of course, it is much smarter than those historians who wrote "The History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Yue Fei".
This is why it should be said that Yue Fei, who commanded Yue's army to enter the battle with a "hemp knife", did not break the "kidnapping horse".
Of course, some people may say - maybe when the historian recorded that Yue Fei broke the "kidnapping horse", he just misremembered the weapon used as the "hemp knife" that broke the light cavalry! With just a mistake of "Ma Knife", how can it be sure that Yue Fei did not break the "Kidnapping Horse"?
Transferred from Iron Will http:///
The answer is -
The reason why it is concluded that Yue Fei or Yue's army did not break the "kidnapping horse" is not only based on a "hemp knife" record of the historian, but the magic weapon of the Jin army, which has been completely annihilated by the "eight-character army" led by Liu Jian in the just-concluded Shunchang defense battle!
Breaking the "Kidnapping Horse" is the collective wisdom of the Southern Song Dynasty (7)

When the Jurchens rose, the Great Liao (Khitan) sent 200,000 troops to conquer, but they were defeated by less than 10,000 Jurchen people, and they lost their armor. Later, he defeated the Great Liao Emperor with 40,000 and personally conquered 700,000 troops, so it was said that "the Jurchens are not more than 10,000, and they are invincible if they exceed 10,000". And the Jurchens have repeatedly won more with less, relying on the exclusive and well-trained magic weapon to win - the kidnapping horse!
Why did the "kidnapping horse" suffer like this? Transferred from Iron Will http:///
In "The History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Liu Qi", the specific combat methods of the "Kidnapping Horse" were introduced, "...... The enemy also divided the left and right wings with iron cavalry, called 'kidnapping horses', all of which were Jurchen's, and called 'Changsheng Army', which was dedicated to attacking fortified positions, and then used them in battle."
Historians also have a mistake here, that is, "the iron cavalry is divided into left and right wings" is not correct. Because the "Kidnapping Horse" is a group phalanx, its biggest advantage is to "move forward bravely", and the most taboo is to turn left and right when charging, otherwise the formation will be chaotic. Therefore, the "Kidnapping Horse" cannot be used as the first type of troops to charge into battle, and must be "used after the battle".
The battle was in full swing when the two armies were fighting and fought inextricably. If the enemy has a large number of people, or when the main general relies on the strength of the people to increase the number of troops to help the battle, the main general of the own side will let the infantry retreat, causing the illusion of defeat and cowardice, when the archers immediately step forward, shoot the position, block the pursuit of the enemy infantry, cover the retreat of their own infantry, and make the enemy and us open a certain distance, and behind the dense banner in front of the formation, the "kidnapping horse" has long been lined up, so the infantry can not retreat to the middle of the formation, can only flash to the left and right, When the enemy's infantry and cavalry marched bravely, the banner fell, and the "kidnapping horse" was killed like a river bursting its embankment, and the iron flow was rushing, and the edge was going, who dared to be! And the favorite thing is that there are many enemies, the thicker the depth of the formation, the more powerful, the wild sweep, the thunder and the ten thousand, everywhere you pass, all the wolves rush to the pigs, the liver and gall are broken - at this time, the light cavalry directly penetrates the enemy's commander's command, then the follow-up infantry, there is only a small labor left to drive the sheep and bind the chicken.

This is one of the main reasons why in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty, the Song army often fought against the Jin army with several times the force, and the morale was all high and excited, but all of them suffered devastating defeats. Therefore, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, how to break the myth of the Jurchen "abducted horses often win the army" with the existing military strength became a top priority for the military experts of the Southern Song Dynasty and the base camps! And the first person to try to break the "kidnapping horse" and achieve victory was Han Shizhong.
In the eighth year of Gaozong (1134 AD), after several years of unremitting efforts, the Southern Song Dynasty gradually formed five main forces, while Yue Fei crossed the river from Ezhou (now Wuchang), and recovered the pseudo-Qi land along the Han River for thousands of miles with the momentum of breaking bamboo, went straight to Xiangyang, swept Xin and Deng, and connected Shaanxi with Jianghuai. Liu Yu of the pseudo-Qi was panicked, so he joined forces with the Jin people and attacked the Song Dynasty in a big way. Gaozong personally ordered Han Shizhong to meet the enemy. At that time, Han Shizhong stationed in Zhenjiang with Jiankang (now Nanjing), Zhenjiang, and Huaidong Xuanfu envoys, and immediately sent the general Xie Yuan to lead the main force of the infantry army to Gaoyou as the enemy's infantry army, and carried his light cavalry across the river to Dayi (now the area of Dayiji in the northwest of Yangzhou, Jiangsu) as the enemy's iron cavalry. When the Song army was afraid of the Jin people's "kidnapping horse", in order to strengthen the army's heart, Han Shizhong cut down wood as a fence and cut off his retreat, in order to show his heart to the death with the "kidnapping horse" here!
Dayi is close to Shao Bo Lake, which is a quagmire area with high grass and water, which is not conducive to cavalry movements. Han Shizhong divided the men and horses into five formations, staggered more than 20 ambushes, and designed to show weakness, so that the enemy mistakenly thought that the Song army was afraid and had withdrawn to the Yangtze River to set up defenses, so the golden cavalry dared to pass through here.

"Nie Erjin was very happy when she heard that Shizhong had retired, and led his troops to Jiangkou, five miles away from Dayi; Don't let the tart also ride through the east of the five formations. Shizhong passed on the small army to beat the drum, the ambush soldiers were everywhere, the flag color and the golden flag were mixed, the Jin army was in chaos, and our army was advancing. Each of the soldiers held a long axe, beating the chest of the man on the top and chopping the horse's foot on the bottom. The enemy was trapped in the quagmire, and Shi Zhong's strong cavalry ravaged on all sides, and all men and horses were killed, so he captured more than 200 people such as Tart. Dong Min was also sent to attack the Jin people at the mouth of Tianchang County and captured more than 40 Jurchens. Xie Yuan to Gaoyou, encountered the enemy, set up a naval army to clamp the river array, and the Japanese fought thirteen, and the rejection was unresolved. Shizhong sent Cheng Min to send the knights to help, resumed the war, and captured Jurchen and Qianhu. Shizhong chased his relatives to Huai, and the Jin people were shocked, and they drowned each other. When the ministers congratulated him, the emperor said: 'The world is loyal and brave, and I know that it will succeed.' Shen He Qiu said: "Since the establishment of Yan, the soldiers have not tried to meet the enemy with the Jin people, and this world is loyal to the victory to defeat its front, and the achievements are not detailed. The emperor said, "The first sorrow is rewarded." ’”
It should be noted that in this record, Shen and Qiu said that "since the establishment of Yan, the soldiers have not tried to fight with the Jin people, and this Shizhong has even won to defeat its front, and the merits are not fine" is really nonsense, not to mention the Han Shizhong battle Huang Tiandang four years ago, only to say that the previous three years, that is, the fifth year of Gaozong, Wu Jue of the Shaanxi army, in the monk Yuan of Dasan Guandong, with only a few thousand Song troops, completely defeated the 100,000 army led by Jin Wushu, and finally forced Jin Wushu to cut his beard and change his clothes, fled in embarrassment, only to be spared, and the first Song army won more with less, A complete victory over the Jin Army! This campaign will be covered in a special chapter later. Transferred from Iron Will

The leather wine jug used by the nomads, "Beiwei" is the person who carries the wine jug on his back. In the army, only generals can drink casually, and those who carry wine jugs for generals are naturally pro-soldiers. The "Beiwei Army" is the pro-army, and in today's parlance, it is the elite of an army, and the main general will rely on troops that specialize in fighting tough battles.
Please note that the weapon used by the Backpackers here is not a spear or a "spear knife", but a "long-handled axe" - this is the special weapon for breaking the "kidnapping horse"!
Why not use a long axe?
Because the axe has both a sharp edge and the same weight as a hammer, in the face of the "heavy armor" that the knife can't be chopped, the gun can't pierce, and the arrow can't penetrate, the long-handled axe picks it up, and it also cuts and smashes, even if it can't hurt the flesh and skin, it still smashes your bones and tendons, and cuts you a crying father and calls your mother - what **** "kidnapping horse", play with a spoon!
The original meaning of the beater, Zhenye, is "stab", and it is used here to use the smashing force of the back of the axe to shake through the heavy armor on the chest of the armorer, causing serious internal injuries.
And Han Shizhong wanted to divide his subordinates into five formations and set up more than 20 ambushes, instead of concentrating superior forces to attack the enemy cavalry, because he saw an Achilles heel of the "Kidnapping Horse" from the long-term battle against the Jin people, that is, its spear could only be majestic in front of it, and on the side, in the case of holding a gun in one hand, it could do nothing and could only be beaten. Therefore, he chose the water network area, so that the golden cavalry could not run, and when he arrived at the ambush site of the Song army, the flanks were inevitably exposed, and he could only watch the big axe fly up and down beside him, "beating people's chests and slashing horses' feet", and slashed his life on himself......

If you only look at this battle, it is actually not big, the Jin people are only four or five hundred horsemen, and the final capture is only more than 200 people, but this is the first time that the Song army completely defeated and annihilated the "kidnapping horse", and its significance is unprecedented and absolutely turning point.
Since then, no one in the Song army has been afraid of the "kidnapping horse".
It is also on this basis that Liu Qi created an unprecedented brilliant record of "breaking the kidnapping horse" in the defense of Shunchang a few years later. History:
"During the Fang War, Wushu was white-robed, riding armored horses, and supervising the battle with 3,000 tooth soldiers, all of whom were heavily armoured, called 'Tiefutu'; The three of them are together, through Wesso, every step forward, that is, with the rejection of the horse to embrace it, the person is further, the rejection of the horse also advances, and the retreat is irrefutable. The officers and soldiers used guns to cut off their pockets, and axes cut off their arms and smash their heads. The enemy also divided the left and right wings with iron cavalry, called 'Kidnapping Horse', all of which were Jurchen's, and called 'Changsheng Army', which was dedicated to attacking fortifications and then using them in battle. Since the use of soldiers, they have been invincible; As a result, he was also killed by the Qi army. The battle is from Chen to Shen, the enemy is defeated, and he rejects the horse and wooden barrier, and he has less rest. The drums in the city were endless, but there was a soup for food, and the soldiers were paid as usual, and the enemy was invincible and did not dare to approach. Eat, withdraw the horse, go deep into the enemy, and break it. Abandoned corpses and horses, flesh and blood, chariots, flags, and armor are piled up like mountains. "Transferred from Iron Will

Rejection of horses, is the use of three long logs, a plurality of short vertical wood, according to a certain rule of binding into a triangular type of utensils, one of the row of vertical timber is longer, oblique thorns stretch forward, the top is sharpened, placed in front of the camp gate or in front of the fence, specially used to block the war horse charge and leap, so it is called "rejecting the horse".
Futu, or "Futu", a Buddhist term, originally referred to Buddhists, and later turned to refer to the pagoda where virtuous Buddhists were buried after death. "Tiefutu" means "let our ironclad warriors send you to the western sky". At first glance, it looks like a bad thing, and it's as difficult to deal with as a "kidnapping horse". But in fact, if the "kidnapping horse" is playing with a spoon, how old is this "Iron Floating Tu" like a human meat bun? Because this thing is the same as the "kidnapping horse", the more you pay attention to your own protection, the more stupid you become, so Song Jun just picked up the long-handled mountain axe, and smashed and slashed it vigorously!
And Liu Qi has another "horse rejection array" here - that is, on the open ground suitable for cavalry charges, with one "horse rejection", arranged into a phalanx, staggered, inconsistent, and the soldiers are hiding in it and waiting for the attack. This was undoubtedly a clever and simple way to move Han Shizhong's method of dealing with the "kidnapping horses" in the water network area to dry land, and at the same time turned the originally open space into a "big alley" with several temporary fortresses intersecting and intersecting, and whether it was heavy cavalry, light cavalry, or infantry, they could only intersperse and march through these alleys during the attack, and suffered blows from at least two directions.

And Jin Wushu dispatched the "Iron Floating Massacre" as soon as he came up, and it was precisely because of the previous Jin Sanlu Commander Ge Wang Bao and the general Han Chang, whose infantry and "kidnapping horses" under their command, had just suffered a loss in this "horse rejection array".
"Qi used the enemy's bow and wings to shoot the enemy from the city or the walled gate, all of which were hit, and the enemy was slightly defeated. Again with infantry to invite the attack, the drowning of the river and the dead are incalculable, breaking thousands of iron horses. Therefore, the Jin Wushu first dispatched the ironclad infantry, and when the Song army's infantry cavalry did not dare to approach, they drove close to the temporary fortress made by the Song army with "rejecting horses" and destroyed them, so that the Song army had no barrier in the open field, and then defeated them with "kidnapping horses". But he didn't expect that it was the "rejection of horses" that he himself used to force the soldiers to only advance and not retreat, and the "rejection of horses" used by the Song army to protect themselves, that sandwiched his clumsy ironclad infantry in the middle of death, but he could do nothing, and let the Song army use a spear to pick off the iron helmet on the head of the Jin soldier as if he were playful, and then use a long-handled axe to probe and slash it, pitifully losing these obedient little lives in vain. Jin Wushu saw that it was not good, and hurriedly called Jin to collect the troops, but he didn't want the Song army to be unrelenting, and the drums sounded, they rushed out of the temporary fortress, big axes and spears, chasing and killing all the way, and he was so distressed that the old four had to force the "kidnapping horse" to attack, how could the Song army support push the "rejection horse" forward in time, form a fortress, let the soldiers withdraw into it, and when the "kidnapping horse" was blocked and could not move and then lost its combat effectiveness, it rushed out again, and then a burst of indiscriminate chopping, and the golden vulture could not enter and enter, retreat and retreat, save and save, and reluctantly, Dry blinking, stomping his feet there to breathe in the cool air - from Iron Blood

The wives and children, the big girls and the little daughters-in-law in the city had already made rice steamed buns and flatbreads, eggs, leeks, rolled green onions, and hot soup and porridge for the men to send up, and ate Haisai under the nose of Jin Jun, Jin Jun swallowed his saliva dryly, but there was no way. Because there is a row of door panels on the inside of the "rejection horse" as a shield, it is useless to shoot arrows from afar, and if you are close, you will rush out and cut you, just wait until you are full and burp a few times, and then let out two farts, and pick up the guy and rush to beat you again. There is "the drums in the city are endless, but the rice soup is served, and the soldiers are paid as usual, and the enemy is invincible and does not dare to approach." Eat, withdraw the horse, go deep into the enemy, and break it. Abandon the corpse and kill the horse, the flesh and blood pillow, the car flag and armor, the accumulation is like a mountain", so unhappy!
It is precisely because this big battle was fought so happily that "Wushu usually thinks that he is strong, and he loses seven or eight", so when Yue Fei fought Yuncheng, it was impossible to break the "kidnapping horse". It's all gone, what else is there to fight? And the "kidnapping horse" is not just to get some horses and put some armor on it, the war horse is not strictly tamed, a certain period of time to run in, to bite the foot when they get together, it is impossible to put into the battlefield. Therefore, in order to contain Yue Fei's Ling Li offensive, Jin Wushu could only use light cavalry to go into battle.
Sixteen years later, Wei Sheng, who consciously recovered Haizhou, created a more ingenious "chain car formation" on the basis of the "horse rejection array" in the Shunchang defense battle, and repeatedly won more with less, breaking the Jin army's infantry cavalry!

"Shengwei self-created Ruyi chariot hundreds of taels, artillery wagons dozens of taels, the car for the beast face wooden card, dozens of big guns, hanging felt curtain soft card, each car with two people to push the hub, can cover fifty people. The line carries heavy weapons and armor, and the stop is a battalion, which is hung like a fortress, and people and horses cannot approach; In the face of the enemy, you can resist the cluster of arrows. The array is wishful car outside, with the flag to cover the barrier, the ballista car as the formation door, the bed crossbow is placed on it, the arrow is as big as a chisel, a arrow can shoot several people, send three arrows can be hundreds of steps. The gun carriage was in the array, and the flint cannon was also 200 paces. The two formations are similar, then the bow and crossbow cannons are issued between the formations, the knives and axes and gunners are prominent in the near formation, and the cavalry is out of the battle. The soldiers are tireless, and both advance and retreat are profitable. Serve and attack, worry about rejection, pre-plan for liberation, and night habits will not be seen. With its system in the court, the army is ordered to follow its style. ”
Please note the last sentence of this record, "With its system in the court, the army is ordered to follow its style", that is to say, whether it is the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty or the ordinary year, whether the following army has fought a big or small battle, no matter how many casualties or how many captures, it must be truthfully reported to the base camp, and the base camp should not only have real rewards and punishments, but also let military experts analyze battle examples, study successes and failures, summarize the reasons for victory and defeat, promote the superior, eliminate the inferior, and guide the tactical improvement of the army in a timely manner. Therefore, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the tactics of "long axes, rejecting horses and breaking abduction horses", as well as the manufacturing of supporting equipment, must have been issued to all armies to "follow their style".

Therefore, although the tactics of breaking the "kidnapping horse" are inseparable from the creative thinking and bold attempts of some individuals and groups in the early Southern Song Dynasty, they are also inseparable from the timely summary of the Southern Song Dynasty base camp and the promotion of the "Zhao Zhu Army" from top to bottom.
Yue Fei, Quduan, Nian Qianyao (12)

The first felony of Yue Fei's death was "rebellion"!
So, is this charge established?
Not true. Because Yue Fei did not "rebel". At least there is no direct evidence.
So, does this mean that killing Yue Fei is unreasonable?
Transferred from Iron Will http:///
No. It makes sense.
What is the truth?
Let's start with the famous Nian Qianyao injustice case during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.
Nian Qianyao, the word Lianggong, the number Shuangfeng, the Han army inlaid with yellow flags. Kangxi was a scholar in the thirty-ninth year, and successively served as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, a reviewer, and a lecturer. Kangxi served as the governor of Sichuan in the 48th year, the governor and governor of Sichuan in the 57th year, and the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the 60th year. In the first year of Yongzheng, Qinghai Mongolia Luobuzang Danjin rebelled, awarded the general Fu Yuanda, and the following year broke the rebels, Luobu Zangdanjin escaped with only 200 horsemen, and Qinghai was pacified. Subsequently, the imperial court accepted his suggestion, organized the Qinghai tribes, set up auxiliary leaders, paid tribute every three years and opened the market for trade; The number of lamas in each temple shall not exceed 300; The establishment of forts in Xining, Datonghe, and other key passes, and the establishment of additional guard posts in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, and other minority areas, have strengthened the central government's ability to actually control remote areas. With merit plus Taibao, he was named a duke.
However, in just over a year, Nian Qianyao was impeached by hundreds of officials because of his pride in his achievements, and was finally killed by Emperor Yongzheng for ninety-two crimes. One of his sons was beheaded, and the rest of his sons were killed. And these ninety-two sins seem to be too numerous to mention, but when it comes to the heavens, it is only two words - disobedience! Transferred from Iron Will
http:///
That is, when Emperor Yongzheng ordered the ministers below the prince to greet him, and ordered hundreds of officials to kneel to greet him, he sat upright and did not return the salute! You know, this is a great gift that only the emperor can enjoy - at this time, who does he think he thinks he is?
Another example is the death of the Queen Mother, the whole country mourns, and all feasts are stopped. He actually feasted and danced to find pleasure as usual, which is the most serious crime of disobedience - "great disrespect"!
And when Emperor Yongzheng repeatedly pointed out his crimes and reprimanded him sternly, he still stiffened his neck and didn't reply - who else could he tolerate in his eyes except for his own merits?
At this time, looking at Nian Qianyao's four-clawed dragon in the camp, he used words such as "edict" to his subordinates that only the emperor can use, and received the emperor's edict not to be courteous, abusing court etiquette and other transgressive behaviors, if he intends to rebel, is it really not a little reasonable?
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal town was divided, and in 907 AD, Xuanwu Jiedu made Zhu Quanzhong overthrow the Tang Dynasty and build the Later Liang. Sixteen years later, Li Cunqiao, the son of Li Keyong, the former Tang Hedong Jiedu, covered the Liang and built the Later Tang Dynasty. In another fourteen years, the East Jiedu of the Later Tang River made Shi Jingjiao cut Yan and Yun Sixteen Prefectures to the Khitan to proclaim himself the emperor and build the Later Jin. In another eleven years, the Later Jin Dynasty guards and pro-army Ma Bujun commanded the envoy and Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, to build the Later Han Dynasty. Only four years later, the Later Han Dynasty's privy envoy Tongping Zhangshi (prime minister), and concurrently controlled the military Guo Wei of Hebei Prefectures to overturn the Han Dynasty and establish the Later Zhou. Ten years later, the inspection of the Taiwei, the palace inspection, the return of the German army to the envoy Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao mutiny to build the Great Song Dynasty.

This is the five dynasties of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms between the Tang and Song dynasties, all of which are the result of the dictatorship and self-reliance of military generals. What's more, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin didn't think about rebellion, but he rebelled in front of the will of his subordinates to rebel. And it was precisely based on this disadvantage that Song Taizu unilaterally strengthened the imperial power, and took the suppression of the warriors' self-respect as the basic national policy of the end of the Song Dynasty.
The politics of the Great Song Dynasty can contain everything, but it does not care about this!
It can be seen that the political misconduct of the Song Dynasty is not only a problem of the royal family surnamed Zhao itself, it has an extremely profound historical inevitability. And solving the political shortcomings of the Song Dynasty is by no means a matter that can be solved by any people and at what time and by what means. Especially in the early Southern Song Dynasty, resisting invasion and stabilizing the situation was the first priority, and no one had the right to elevate his dissatisfaction caused by various reasons into emotional social confrontation for any reason, thus affecting the national plan. For any power organ with obvious political defects, how to correct its relationship with it at the critical juncture of the nation's peril, is an important indicator of a person's character as a gentleman and a villain.
And the establishment of "li" is precisely so that everyone can correct this relationship. It's a pity that Yue Fei didn't care about anything in his life, but he just focused on this "ceremony"! Transferred from Iron Will

After the Battle of Huaixi, as soon as Yue Fei returned to Shucheng (not Shuzhou), he received a summoning order from the base camp at the same time as Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong. As soon as the three marshals arrived, Qin Hui immediately announced the decision of the base camp: the three marshals will participate in the governor's affairs (promoted to the post of deputy prime minister), Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong will be privy envoys, and Yue Fei will be the deputy. Zhang Jun immediately handed over the military power of his headquarters to the Imperial Front Division (in the hands of the base camp), Han Shizhong was noncommittal, and Yue Fei resigned from the post of privy deputy envoy. Gaozong said to the three marshals:
"In the past, Fu Qing and others had the power to preach all the way to appease, and now Fu Qing and others have a very large power of the cardinal's own soldiers, and the Qing and others should be together, not to divide each other, then the army is all and Mo can resist, Gu Ruzong Bi (Jin Wushu), how to sweep away!"
It was the day when the edict was issued: "Xuanfu Division merges, and when the division is encountered, the decree is temporarily taken." The commanders of each division have been lowered, each with the word "Imperial Front", and they are still stationed; In the future, it will be transferred and implemented by decree of the three provinces and the Privy Council. It is still ordered that the commanders and others will be replaced by their ranks. ”
Subsequently, the base camp ordered Han Shizhong to be responsible for moving the office of the privy envoy, placing Si Zhenjiang, and Zhang Jun and Yue Fei went to Huaidong to inspect the border defense. Zhang Jun saw that the city of Haizhou was not easy to defend, so he destroyed the city and moved the people to Chuzhou. And Chuzhou has been repeatedly warned, the city wall is dilapidated, Jun wants to repair it, Yue Fei actually said: "When you try to recover, how can you plan for surrender?" "Transferred from Iron Will

If you try to recover, can you not plan for surrender? Just like in a soccer match, what happens if the coach only knows how to supervise the players to attack with all their might, but does not want the players to defend? History:
"(Han Shizhong) awarded Wuning Anhua Army Festival Envoy, Jingdong Huaidong Road Xuanfu Disposal Envoy, and placed Si Chuzhou. Shizhong covered the grass, established the military government, and worked with the soldiers. Mrs. Liang (Hongyu) personally weaves thin (straw curtains) for the house. There are cowards among the soldiers, and the loyal people leave behind them, set up a big feast, and make up the women to be ashamed, so everyone works hard. Fuji was dispersed, trade benefited workers, and Shanyang (the old name of Chuzhou) became an important town. Liu Yu's soldiers were counted, but he was defeated by Shizhong. ”
It can be seen that Chuzhou is an important military town that shields Huaidong and Song and Jin. And at this time, Yue Fei actually said such a thing, is this the attitude that a military expert, vice minister of defense, and vice premier of ****** should have?
No wonder Zhang Jun changed color when he heard this!
No wonder this became Yue Fei's third major crime!
After returning to the base camp, Yue Fei always insisted on resigning from the post of privy deputy envoy and returning to the two towns (Ezhou and Xiangyang), that is, to return to the original position of commander. Gaozong's edict said: Transferred from iron blood

"I have two or three commanders in each corner, and it is not enough to show their talents, so I am ordered to ascend to the palace of the cardinals, with the intention of being extremely appointed."
"Today's Qing appointed Fu and Xun Hun to ask for the throne, the order of the government, and the responsibility of the measures, but they can't resign. I have never thought of such a move. The husband has his time, his position, and his power, and it is said that he cannot do anything, and he has the faith of the Buddha. ”
Bringing the three commanders together and taking charge of the importance of national defense, while the troops from all over the country take turns to enter the guard, Yue Fei has a unique training of troops, and he just trains the other troops well, so as to wait for the opportunity to recover the homeland in one fell swoop, is it really not possible? History:
"Yihai, the edict has a crossbow to defeat the enemy, and Han Shizhong has also offered it. The emperor said: "Shizhong proclaimed Huai Dongri, fought with the enemy, and often won with a crossbow. I take the view, the sincerity is ingenious, but it is still not perfect. I have been planning for many days, but less and less, so I increased the power of two stones and reduced the weight of a few catties. ’”
As the king of a country, Gaozong has to have enough things to worry him about, but he can perfect the "enemy bow" used in actual combat on the front line, but Yue Fei, who is a military expert, just refuses to work in the base camp and repeatedly asks to resign. Finally, the officials were impeached.
Historians and descendants, whenever they talk about the impeachment of Yue Fei at this time, they all add a sentence "instigated by Qin Hui", it can be said that others were instigated, but it is unreasonable to say that He Zhu, who was appointed as the emperor in the imperial history at this time, was also instigated. You must know that he is the presiding officer of Yue Fei's case, and he is also the first person to defend Yue Fei in this capacity, and was excluded and demoted because of this, and he never returned to the court to be with Qin Hui!

"Cast filial piety and frugality. It is expensive, there is no house to live in, and it is a Buddhist temple. It is also difficult for him to distinguish Yue Fei's injustice.

See clearly, Zhao Ding is also the main and faction, but he is tougher, and he is not on good terms with Qin Hui for this reason, but Li Guang has always been recognized as Qin Hui's cronies, and he was indeed nominated by Qin Hui to participate in political affairs, and he was ranked as the prime minister.
And that Sun Jin, even more incredible, was even more listed by Hu Quan, the editor of the Privy Council who opposed the peace, as the three deserving of the "uncommon wearing of the sky"!

Obviously, He Zhu should be a qualified counselor. In the eyes of a qualified counselor, there is no distinction between "loyalty and treachery", no matter who is at fault, he will follow suit!

"In the imperial history, Cheng He Zhu, and the palace servant Yu Shi Luo Ruji reunited and discussed it, roughly saying: 'Flying is ordered to raise troops, then it is slightly to Longshu and not entering; If you send an envoy, you want to abandon Shanyang and not keep it. To fly on weekdays, it should not be, isn't it loyal to the king's evil! Since ascending to the pivot, he is depressed and unhappy, and he is led away by the day. He said to people: 'This official position is a person who was in power a few years ago and did not want to do it. 'Arrogant and unscrupulous. Recently, it was proposed that Shanyang (Chuzhou) could not be defended, and the army and the people were confused. If you make the words fly, you will lose the mountains and suns, and what good will you do if you fly later! begging for a quick punishment, so that he can be idle, thinking that it is a ring of disloyalty. ”
What's even more terrifying is that Yue Fei's various unrestrained behaviors would not be a big problem if they only aroused the association of the highest authorities, but if they aroused the associations of subordinate officers, then between Yue Fei and the authorities, there would definitely be a tragedy between the two sides that would be staged in an inescapable catastrophe!
Sadly, it was Yue Fei's subordinates who caused the association!
What's even more sad is that this subordinate is none other than Yue Fei's son Yue Yun!
According to the regulations, if the governor is impeached, he should resign immediately. It just so happened that Yue Fei had been insisting on resigning before, so the base camp accepted Yue Fei's resignation application this time, but refused to return him to Ezhou or Xiangyang, and ordered him to stay in Lin'an, "still invited by the court", that is, every Monday and every five days, he must be listed in the court station, because Yue Fei also retained the honorary title of Shaobao, and "specially granted" his original Wusheng and Ding**** two towns to make a false position, and filled the longevity of the envoy. But Yue Fei just didn't want to live in Lin'an, and then took sick leave and returned to his home in Jiujiang, Jiangxi with Yue Yun. This is August. Immediately after the September base camp sent Bao Ju, the military superintendent, to Ezhou to check the accounts of the Xuanfu Division, at this time, Yue Fei's general Wang Jun reported to the deputy governor Zhang Xian to the chief Wang Gui, saying that his plot was based on Xiangyang for change, and the evidence was several letters sent by Yue Yun to Zhang Xian, the content of which was about to ask Zhang Xian and others to provoke the Jin people on the front line, causing a war, forcing the base camp to let Yue Fei reinstate himself to lead the troops, and said that "you can discuss with the confidant soldiers."

This is the origin of Yue Fei's rebellion.
In this regard, "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Zhang Xian" is recorded as follows:
"Will Qin Hui be the master of peace, order the flying class teacher, and return the constitution. Before long, Hinoki and Zhang Jun murdered Fei, conspired to fly the trilogy, and those who could sue the flyer were favored and rewarded, and no one responded. Wen Fei tasted that he wanted to kill Wang Gui, and he couldn't lure him to fly. Gui refused, and said: 'For the general, I would rather avoid rewards and punishments, and if I think I am resentful, I will be overwhelmed by his resentment.' 'Juniper, Jun can't bend, Jun robs your private affairs, and you obey with fear. From time to time, there is also Wang Jun, who is good at admonishing, called 'Diao'er', and has been repeatedly punished by the constitution for treachery and corruption. The cypress makes people tell it, and the handsome obeys. ”
What is clearly said here is that Qin Hui and Zhang Jun made false accusations against Yue Fei. And Wang Jun came out to make false accusations under their coercion and temptation. But after the confiscation of military power, the base camp "still ordered the commanders and others to take turns to see each other with a high rank", when the governor Wang Gui had just returned, Zhang Xian had just set off, Zhang Jun and Qin Hui had not gone to Hubei at all, and Wang Jun had always been Zhang Xian's deputy, and he only reported to Wang Gui after Zhang Xian left. As for Wang Jun's quality, it is not known, but according to the "History of Zhongxing":
"(Yue) flew back to the army from Yuncheng, and sat with Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Dong Xian, and Wang Jun at night in a village temple. Everyone didn't dare to respond, but Zhang Xian Xu Yan said: 'Deal with the ears in the prime minister! After retreating, Jun shook the hand first and said, "Captain! Captain! Wen Shilai's words and Zhang Taiwei's right? First and you said: 'Yet'. "Transferred from Iron Will

"Taiwei" is the highest honorary title of a military general, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Dong Xian, etc. do not have this title, and it is an honorific title used here. And Yue Fei and Zhang Xian sighed and answered, looking mediocre, why did Wang Jun panic when he heard it?
He was afraid!
Afraid of what?
The "affairs of the world" should have been dealt with by the base camp headed by Gaozong, how could it be handled by Yue Fei? This is a clear remark against propriety, and it involves "rebellion." And Wang Jun is only a deputy commander in the "Yuejia Army", with limited power, and once there is a change, he is powerless. When the Huaixi Army rebelled, not all of the 40,000 people were willing to follow, but when the military department Shangshu was killed by the Huai River, although thousands of people were moved, none of them dared to speak up, it was nothing more than that they were surrounded by rebels, and they were already watching you. This is "coercion".
What Wang Jun is afraid of is that he will also be "coerced" at that time - his net worth!
If Zhang Xian hadn't shown him Yue Yun's letter, could he have thought out of thin air of evidence that Wang Gui and others had followed Yue Fei for many years to testify? He doesn't know others, doesn't he know who Wang Gui is? Transferred from Iron Will

Is it possible to make false accusations like this? And Wang Gui, Yao Zheng, Fu Xuan, and Pang Rong, the four generals, were all witnesses to this letter, and he did not dare to suppress Wang Jun's denunciation. The historian said that Wang Gui followed and falsely accused Yue Fei because of his private affairs and was held by Qin Hui and Zhang Jun, so he had to do it. Can Yue Fei rule the army strictly, if even Qin Hui and Zhang Jun, who are purely outsiders, know about it, how could he not know it? The historian can even know such a thing as a scholar in Tokyo blocking the head of a golden vulture horse, so how can he not cite Wang Gui's specific "private affairs"? What's even more inexplicable is that Wang Gui's testimony is very important, and he obeyed Qin Hui and Zhang Jun's intention to harm Yue Fei, and he is a great hero.
According to "Miscellaneous Records of the Ruling and Opposition since the Establishment of Yan, Volume B", before this, Yue Yun had been sentenced to two years in prison by Dali Temple (Supreme Court)!
This is problematic - because the first to be arrested and imprisoned was Zhang Xian, who was tortured and had no skin, but never pleaded guilty. Later, after being sent from Hubei to Hangzhou to be imprisoned in Dali Temple, Yue Fei and his son were summoned to Beijing to be formally arrested and imprisoned in Hangzhou, and the case was delayed for two months. It stands to reason that before Zhang Xian and Yue Fei were convicted, Yue Yun should not have and had no reason to be convicted. The crime of being established, the lightest form of rebellion is also the killing of the head, and the slightest heaviness is the extermination of the clan, the extermination of the three clans, and the extermination of the nine clans, how can it be sentenced to only two years?

The only answer is that Yue Yun did write a letter. It's just that it was burned after being watched by everyone or by Zhang Xian. Therefore, Zhang Xian has every reason to kill and not admit it, and there is no way for Ren Tianwang Laozi to take him.
But this is not the case with the letter writer. Yue Yun joined the army at the age of twelve, all the battles he has experienced, one is one, two is two, he has never said a lie, and he never dared to say a lie, all in his heart, black and white, three pushes and four questions, with Yue Yun's character, he lost his head but had a big scar, and he never affected his father and Zhang Xianshang, and he would bear it alone! It is precisely because of this that until the final sentence of Yue Fei and Zhang Xian to death, Qin Hui and Wan Qiyu also changed the sentence of Yue Yun to "exile" in the name of the Criminal Department.
Judging from the fact that Yue Yun was only sentenced to two years in prison, Gaozong obviously didn't think about killing anyone from the beginning, but just asked Yue Fei to stop worrying about the right to pay the army for a large amount of capital. Otherwise, he would not have let Yue Fei follow Zhang Jun to divide Han Shizhong's 30,000 troops in advance in the name of patrolling the border, which means that Yue Fei will take the initiative to cooperate with his own army next, because the easiest to travel is Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's army! Before Zhang Jun and Yue Fei divided Han Shizhong's army, there were obvious signs-
"Jing Zhu, the official of the loyal army of the world, and Hu Fangyan, the commander-in-chief: 'If the two privy secrets are divided into the loyal army, I am afraid that something will happen.'" Spinning on the dynasty, the juniper catches the next Dali Temple, and will shake the fan to slander Shizhong. Flying to tell the book to the cypress, Shizhong saw the emperor self-evident.

Jing Zhu (Geng Zhu) is Han Shizhong's cronies, and Hu Fang is also Han Shizhong's hand, but today, some people also say, "It turns out that Qin Hui has already found a lackey, this is Hu Fang, the commander of Huaidong." But Hu Fang does this, is it really wrong? History:
"Shi Tonggu (Jin Envoy) and Bao Xie envoy Han Xiaoxuan (Song Envoy) went first, and Jingdong and Huaidong Xuanfu disposed of Han Shizhong to ambush Hongze Town, and the fraudulent order was the Red Turban (Civil Righteous Army). Xiao Zhou to Yangzhou, Shizhong will be Hao Xuan Qian Yuan Ma Pump Toad 11.Cooking Pen Purchase Mo Zi Xiao (9) U Shoot Vulgar 10 Tuo Tom Ci Gluttony J Le Yi Xiao
Is it really right for Han Shizhong to do this?
Is it really wrong for Hu Fang to do this?
And Jing Zhi had just returned from the base camp and had seen Han Shizhong when he passed by Zhenjiang, shouldn't Qin Hui and the others really cause some associations at this time? This is the reason why Qin Huili was imprisoned. Yue Fei only learned about this matter after arriving in Chuzhou. He was very aware of the harm in this, and immediately sent his cronies to Zhenjiang overnight to inform Han Shizhong, Han went to Hangzhou overnight, and saw Gaozong confess, the monarch and the ministers cried bitterly, and the suspicion was suddenly resolved - Gaozong didn't understand anything, what he wanted was for the generals not to indulge in willful emotions!

The so-called sub-compilation is an adaptation. What is the adaptation? Previously, when announcing the acquisition of the military power of the three marshals, it was also announced that "the commander will be changed to the former commander of the imperial system, and each will be stationed in the old station", that is, "Yue's army", "Han's army", "Zhang's army", "Liu's army", and "Wu's army"
and other military commanders in the army, the commander of the "country" of the Song Dynasty!
Why do you want to change this? Just because the Huaixi Front Army was 40,000 Song troops and fought on the battlefield for ten years, a bullshit Li Qiong was able to make them collectively defect to the enemy in the blink of an eye! When the military department Shangshu who swore to death but Huaihe was brutally killed, only thousands of people were moved, but no one stood up to protest! Shouldn't such an army be reorganized? Shouldn't they know that they are the army of the "state" and not the "private" army of any one person? At this time, if one of the commanders of these armies, or a certain commander, or a certain soldier is in a state of anger because of this, what do you say should be the nature of his actions?
