With 50 cavalry, he rushed into the camp of 50,000 people. Wen Neng can bring peace to the world with his pen, and Wan Neng can use his horse to settle the world. There is folklore that Xin Qiji is Qingsi who descended to earth, but this remains to be verified.

This is the best portrayal of Xin Qiji

Some people say that if he had not been born in the Southern Song Dynasty , he could have led his troops to Europe. This is not an exaggeration but a fact.

There is folklore that Xin Qiji is Qingsi (i.e. Taishang Laojun 's Green Bull) descended to earth, but it remains to be verified. History books record his appearance: "Skinned and fat, with ridged eyes, red cheeks and blue eyes, and as strong as a tiger. "

Unlike traditional literati, Xin Qiji once led 50 cavalry and tied up an enemy army of 50,000 men with his bare hands. middle. "Dismount the horse and write the military letter, mount the horse to attack the mad Hu" is talking about him. Long before he was born, Shandong was already an occupied area of ​​the Song Dynasty and a dependent territory of the Jin Kingdom, and his grandfather also served for the Jin Kingdom, but All Xin Qiji thought about all his life was to restore the Central Plains.

is different from Lu You spent eight months on the front line and wrote the eternal quatrain " humble people dare not forget about the country ". Xin Qiji, who was on the battlefield, fought against the golden man with real swords and real guns. More than ten years of fighting. Because has always had great ambitions, he was still the same passionate and angry old man in his later years.

More than 620 Xin Qiji poems by Xin Qiji have been handed down to this day. The lofty sentiments of serving the country gushing out from the lines are very exciting. Because he had the ambition to expel the Jin people and restore the Central Plains since he was a child, he was not only able to write poems with pen and ink, but also practiced riding, archery and swordsmanship, and learned the art of war after witnessing how the Jin people oppressed the Han people.

Before the age of 18, he took advantage of the opportunity to take the exam in China twice to go to the capital of the Jin Kingdom to collect intelligence, planning to one day rise up and regain the old mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty , and shame Jingkang.

In the 31st year of Shaoxing (AD 1161), Emperor Wanyan Liang of the Jin Kingdom led an army of 600,000 to march in person, forcing the Southern Song garrison to retreat to the south bank of the Yangtze River. At the time of crisis, Wan Yanliang's younger brother Wanyan Yong proclaimed himself the emperor, which temporarily confused the Jin army. Not only was Wan Yanliang defeated, but he was also brutally killed by his subordinates who were responsible for the rebellion.

This year, Xin Qiji was 21 years old. When he saw the people in the northern region rising up one after another to oppose the Jin and support the Song Dynasty, he knew that he finally had the opportunity.

Xin Qiji spent all his wealth to recruit troops, organized a rebel army of two thousand people in his hometown, and defected to Geng Jing, which gathered hundreds of thousands of people. In this team, Xin Qiji was just a small secretary in charge of documents at first, until later a traitor named Yi Duan appeared in the rebel army.

When Xin Qiji learned of this, he immediately issued a military order and led several of his subordinates to chase him out. He knocked down the opponent's horse with one knife and killed the traitor with the second knife.

Later, this rebel army once grew to 250,000 people. Xin Qiji, who wanted to regain the north, suggested to Geng Jing to use this opportunity to counterattack the Jin army at the same time as the Southern Song Dynasty.

Later, he personally contacted the imperial court in Lin'an, and after receiving the invitation from Song Gaozong to meet the Holy Spirit, he hurried to Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, fate once again played a joke on Xin Qiji. On the way back, the rebel traitor Zhang Anguo was unkind and hacked Geng Jing to death while he was sleeping. Hundreds of thousands of rebels suddenly dispersed.

After receiving the news, Xin Qiji, furious, immediately led 50 people back to Shandong, led 50 cavalry to raid the Jin army camp, and traveled thousands of miles to escort him to Lin'an for justice.

"Leading fifty knights with bare hands, binding them among fifty thousand people, like holding a cunning rabbit."

0 Warriors broke into the Jin Army camp at night with 50,000 soldiers and horses. The passion for rushing and killing can no longer be realized. The Song and Jin Dynasties were in a long-term confrontation, and both the government and the public were cowardly and dispirited. As a man who had fallen to a foreign country and returned to the dynasty, Xin Qiji was not reused for a long time.

First of all, Xin Qiji's grandfather Xin Zan was a high official in the Jin Kingdom. As a "reformed man" in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many restrictions and restrictions on his official career and promotion.

Secondly, Xin Qiji was one of the few main combatants in the court, but the inaction of the Southern Song Dynasty court made his military talents useless.

In the end, Xin Qiji disdained officialdom. After returning to the Song Dynasty, he was awarded a civil service, and was repeatedly impeached and transferred. Even though he wrote "Ten Essays on Meiqin" and "Nine Discussions" and other suggestions on resisting the Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition and submitted them to the court, But how can he, a minister, influence military and state affairs?

From the time he moved south at the age of 22 to his death at the age of 68, he was transferred 37 times over the past 40 years. Except for two years when he served as Fujian Tidian Penal Prison and Fujian Comfort Envoy, half of his time was spent in a state of idleness. Xin Qiji's resolute style was incompatible with the cowardly and tolerant style, and his military talents were used several times to suppress tea merchant rebellions and peasant riots.

But the more outstanding Xin Qiji was, the less confident the emperor was about handing over military power to him.

Many times Xin Qiji made suggestions with enthusiasm, but none of the civil and military officials had the intention to regain their homeland, so Xin Qiji could only thank the Lord for his kindness with one idle appointment after another.

His official career was not going well, and he was the target of criticism and persecution by traitorous ministers. After several rounds of verbal quarrels, the longest time he was idle for ten years.

When

was transferred to Guangde , Xin Qiji, a parent official, was upright and honest, and was loved by the people. Those who observed secretly just to find some clues could not find any faults and could only expose it in front of the emperor. He was praised and demoted, so Xin Qiji was transferred to Chuzhou as the magistrate, and was transferred from a prosperous place to a desolate place.

Chuzhou, which had experienced war, returned to its former prosperity in one year under Xin Qiji. He exempted all the taxes owed by the people over the years, rewarded farming, encouraged business, actively helped the people purchase goods, build houses, and rebuilt the city. The people of Chuzhou, which are full of vitality, are very grateful to this official.

The imperial court saw Xin Qiji's outstanding talents, but was even more wary of him.

Bandits were rampant in Jiangxi and Hunan. The imperial court sent troops to suppress them many times but failed in vain. Xin Qiji spent just three months to establish the Flying Tiger Army, which frightened the enemy. The merchant army maintained local security internally and deterred Jin invasions externally. In just a few years, the barbaric land changed its appearance under the governance of Magistrate Xin.

" History of the Song Dynasty " records that the Flying Tiger Army spends 78,000 guan in money and 24,000 dan in food every year. Therefore, when heroes from all walks of life came after hearing the news, Xin Qiji was ordered to change the order. He had no choice but to go to Jiangxi to provide comfort.

Xin Qiji worked hard and had no complaints about the Song Dynasty's dramatic arrangements of "calling them in and disappearing". People's livelihood in various places became prosperous in his hands, but he didn't know when he would be able to command his troops to regain it again. native land.

The Song Dynasty was an era that valued literature over martial arts, but Xin Qiji's martial arts and courage were beyond the reach of ordinary people. He was once a high-spirited young general with a sword and a horse, and he was also the patriotic poet who shouted three times to kill thieves and made people die with anger. people.

There were many literati who wrote poems and eulogies in that era, but half of the country was in danger. The Kingdom of Jin was eyeing the country in the north, and the Kingdom of Xixia was pressing hard in the west. There were also Tubo , Dali and other tribes who tried to invade, and they were singing and dancing and singing every night. The country in the hands of the ruling class is only in ruins.

Xin Qiji was not an idealist. It was precisely because he had endured the humiliation and pain that the Han people suffered under the rule of the Jin people that he did not forget to observe the terrain of Yanjing when he participated in the imperial examination. Therefore, he was eager to lead troops to fight and make achievements, but I have been miserable all my life, and my ambition has never been realized.

At that time, a speck of dust fell on the head of a literati, and he could only be passively impeached. After several ups and downs, he retired to live in the mountains.His lifelong ambition was to restore the Central Plains, and he was proud of his achievements. Although he did not have the ambition to restore the Central Plains, he put his concern for the rise and fall of the country in his lyrics. Is this his luck or misfortune?

In his later years, Xin Qiji was most criticized for three things

One was "cruel officials", the other was "lustful", and the third was "corruption"

When the 42-year-old Xin Qiji had just been transferred to Zhexi Road to handle criminal and prison affairs, for the first time He was impeached by the admonishment officer Wang Lin on the charge of "spending money like sand and killing people like grass and grass." Emperor Xiaozong also said that he "made the same kind of alliance with the superior of Ling, and was an angry person at home and abroad. Xin Qiji was out of work for eleven years and never argued for himself.

Xin Qiji was not a mediocre person after all. He had the ambition to serve the country but was useless as a hero. He was worried and angry because he could not regain his homeland. Later, he was transferred frequently as many as 40 times in his life, wherever he went. Being scrupulous by the court.

Although Xin Qiji suppressed people's riots and tea merchants and bandits several times, he was accused of murdering people every time. The final analysis is that after he surrendered the rebel army, he killed more than 800 people in one day. When Fujian pirates oppressed the local people, he executed all the prisoners as a strong deterrent.

It is difficult to say clearly whether his iron-fisted administration and harsh punishments are reasonable and legal. However, when he interrogated the prisoners in Changxi County, he released more than fifty people at one time. Compared with those he beheaded, they were nothing more than traitors, bandits, and Trickster and profiteer, this is just a way for him to establish his authority.

As for the corruption, the main evidence is that he built the luxurious manor Jiaxuan. With Xin Qiji's salary alone, it was impossible to build the luxurious garden of "building a house with hundreds of couplets", and he often spent a lot of money on dealing with people, even if It was the new friends he had made who came to seek refuge with him. Not only did he treat them well with good food and drinks, but he was also "unfazed" when they parted.

More importantly, his average tenure in each position is less than one year, and it is difficult to determine the source of his huge wealth. There are descriptions in unofficial histories that he was punishing some lawbreakers by imposing violent levies and engaging in corrupt practices.

As for the lustful thing, it is said that he has many singers, dancers, wives and concubines. But let’s not mention that Xin Qiji was a literati in need of creative inspiration. Concubinage was very common in ancient times, Bai Juyi , Yuan Zhen , Su Dongpo , which one did not have a group of wives and concubines, the merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.

When Song Ningzong came to the throne, Xin Qiji was already "old and honest". At that time, the prime minister Han Yuzhou was in power, and he finally had a chance to go to the Northern Expedition. Fate played a joke on him again. Because a person he once recommended broke the law, he was also implicated and blamed, so Xin Qiji had no choice but to take the initiative to resign.

After that, although he wanted to kill the thieves, he was ill for a long time. While lingering on his bed, he still couldn't forget to regain his homeland and revive the country. He shouted "kill the thieves" several times before his death.

From "Young Man Hengshu" to "Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield", Xin Qiji has been a passionate man with love, righteousness and courage throughout his life. There are more than 600 existing poems, which are beyond the reach of future generations. Among them, there are Sad, strong and angry, he is also the person with the most distinctive and full personality in the history of Chinese poetry.
