It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue Family Army ! For thousands of years, the name of Yue Fei has been associated with loyalty to the country. In the dark era after the Jingkang disaster, Yue Fei grew from a grassroots to the most powerful war god of the world, defended the Southern Song Dynasty, fought northernly in the Central Plains, and determined to recover the rivers and mountains all his life, but was eventually harmed by villains, and his whole life was so wonderful.
Yue Fei (1103-1142), was born in an ordinary farmer in Tangyin County, Henan Province. Legend has it that when Yue Fei was born, a bird as big as a swan hovered above the sky, so his parents named him Fei, whose courtesy name was Pengju. Yue Fei was very fond of martial arts when he was a teenager and could pull a large bow of 300 pounds. He liked to read military books such as "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" and "Sun Wu's Art of War".
However, due to his poor family, Yue Fei had to go to someone else's mansion to be a tenant. At the age of twenty, Yue Fei was summoned to the army and followed his superiors to wipe out a group of robbers. Therefore, he was appreciated and recommended to the court. However, at this moment, news suddenly came that Yue Fei's father passed away, and Yue Fei had to return to his hometown to mourn. Three years later, Yue Fei's mourning period expired and he was called to the army again.
At this time, the Northern Song defeated Liao through Joint Jin and got back Youyun Sixteen Prefectures . However, the weakness exposed by the Song army when fighting against the remaining troops of Liao Kingdom made the Jin Kingdom see an opportunity to take advantage of. An unprecedented disaster was about to come to the dynasty of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Huizong , who was sitting on the throne, had no idea that Yue Fei would not have thought that he would enter the center of the historical stage.
After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom, it began to launch a large-scale invasion of the Song Dynasty in 1125 AD. The Song army retreated step by step, and Kaifeng was in danger. Song Huizong ran away in a hurry and gave the throne to his son Zhao Huan , which was for Song Qinzong . Song Qinzong had no choice but to sign a city alliance with the Jin Kingdom and ceded a large area of land. However, in less than half a year, the Jin Kingdom launched another attack and captured Kaifeng.
23-year-old Yue Fei bid farewell to his wife and children and once again joined the army to fight against the Jin Dynasty. My mother-in-law Yao also stabbed Yue Fei's back with the four words "Honored loyalty to the country" as a training. Unexpectedly, Yue Fei never returned to his hometown after leaving. Not long after, the Jin people brought the two emperors Huiqin and the treasures in the city all went north, and the Northern Song Dynasty officially declared its demise.
Kangwang Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing and established the Southern Song Dynasty, which was for the Song Gaozong . However, Zhao Gou only wanted to seek peace and gave up Hebei and Hedong , and demoted the ministers of the war faction. Although Yue Fei's position was not high at that time, out of patriotism, he wrote letters to cross the river and the north expedition many times, but was driven out of the military camp.
At this time, Yue Fei, who was twenty-five years old, decided to cross the river and go north to the Daming Prefecture, Beijing, the fourth time he joined the army. Faced with the massive attacks of the Jin army, Yue Fei fought to the death, accumulated rich experience in combat against Jin, and gradually grew into an outstanding commander. However, Kaifeng was isolated and helpless at this time. Although he wrote letters to request Zhao Gou to support the Northern Expedition many times, he received no response.
AD 128, the commander of , Zong Ze, died with hatred, and his successor Lu Chong was cruel by nature and feared gold like a tiger. At this time, Emperor Gaozong of Song, who had fled south to Jiangnan, called on the rebel army in the world to serve the king. Du Chong took the opportunity to give up the north and lead his troops to go south to serve the king. Although Yue Fei, as Du Chong's general, strongly opposed it, Du Chong insisted on his own, and Yue Fei had to follow the troops south.
However, Zhao Gou's blind begging for peace not only did not make himself in peace, but instead made the Jin Kingdom's arrogance even more arrogant. In 1129 AD, the Jin army marched south to search for mountains and seas, pursued Zhao Gou, and captured many important towns in Jiangnan. Zhao Gou was forced to flee to the sea. But no one expected that when the arrogant Jin army was rampant in Jiangnan, it was strongly blocked by generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong .
Yue Fei defeated the army of Jin Wushu outside the city of Jiankang. The Jin army was buried for fifteen miles away. Jin Wushu had to give up Jiankang and lead his troops to retreat north. On the way to withdraw, he was chased by Yue Fei again, and suffered heavy casualties.Yue Fei became famous in this battle and became a rising star in the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the subsequent battles, Yue Fei won a series of victories. In addition, the Yue family army had strict military disciplines, and he would not demolish houses when he was frozen to death, and would not plunder when he was starved to death. Every time he went to a place, he was deeply loved by the local people. This made Song Gaozong Zhao Gou give up begging for mercy from the Jin Kingdom, and instead repurpose the new generation of military generals Yue Fei and others, hoping to force the Jin Kingdom to negotiate with the Southern Song Dynasty through victory on the battlefield.
But what Yue Fei is thinking about is restoring his hometown and directly attacking Huanglong, which also destined Yue Fei's tragic fate. At the age of 32, after obtaining Zhao Gou's consent, Yue Fei led his army to recover the six counties in Xiangyang. Before leaving, Zhao Gou asked Yue Fei to recover only six counties and not take the opportunity to continue the Northern Expedition or recover Bian Jing.
At that time, under the control of the puppet regime established by the Jin Dynasty, the Yue family army won a great victory, defeated the Northern Qi defenders, and successfully recovered the six counties of Xiangyang. This was also the first time that the Southern Song Dynasty had recovered a large area of lost land, and the Yue family army's base camp also moved to the current Wuchang District of Wuhan.
But just when the thirty-four-year-old Yue Fei moved to Xiangyang to go on the Northern Expedition, his mother suddenly passed away. In exhaustion, Yue Fei had to write a letter to the court, requesting to mourn for three years according to the system. However, at this time, Zhao Gou was eager to fight the Northern Expedition, forcing the Jin Dynasty to negotiate peace, turned a deaf ear to Yue Fei's request, and kept urging him to send troops to fight the Northern Expedition. Yue Fei had no choice but to return to the military camp, and marched towards the Central Plains in two groups, and successively recovered many lost lands.
However, because the front line is too long, the logistics food and grass cannot be supplied, Yue Fei had to go back to the court. The pseudo-Qi tried to recover the occupied area but joined forces with the Jin army to attack Xiangyang. Yue Fei made a third Northern Expedition and defeated the enemy. Zhao Gou issued an edict to praise him and transferred 50,000 troops from Huaixi to Yue Fei. Yue Fei was greatly encouraged and wrote a letter to request the Northern Expedition again.
However, because of Zhang Jun's provocation, Zhao Gou gave up expanding his army to Yue Fei. Yue Fei was ridiculed by Zhang Jun, and felt very uneasy and went straight to Lushan to maintain filial piety. After Zhao Gou learned that Yue Fei had resigned, he quickly sent someone to invite him back. Zhang Jun also caused the Huaixi Army to change to because of improper employment, which led to the remarks of the prime minister. After Yue Fei received the news of the mutiny, he immediately wrote a letter saying that he would lead his army to defend Jiankang. Zhao Gou's suspicion of Yue Fei has become increasingly intensified since then.
Two years later, the Jin Dynasty abolished the pseudo-Qi regime and signed the first peace talks with the Southern Song Dynasty. Although Yue Fei and Han Shizhong strongly opposed it, it was useless. Zhao Gou also ordered Yue Fei not to go to Henan to recruit rebels. But unexpectedly, a coup occurred in the Jin Dynasty. Jin Wushu killed the ministers of the Lord's Peace Sect, brazenly tore up the peace talks, attacked the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and surrounded Shunchang City. Zhao Gou had to find Yue Fei to rescue him again and asked him to lead his army to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
Yue Fei once again recovered a large area of lost land, went deep into the hinterland of Henan, advanced towards Kaifeng, and defeated the Jin army in Zhuxian Town . Just when the Yue family's military news was frequent, Zhao Gou was worried that Yue Fei's achievements would be shocked. If Kaifeng was really recovered, it would probably affect the rule of Zhao Song . Under the instigation of Qin Hui , Zhao Gou gave 12 gold medals in a row, forcing Yue Fei to go.
Yue Fei was very sad and angry, and ten years of hard work were wasted. Before leaving, the people of Henan cried and begged Yue Fei not to withdraw his troops. Yue Fei had no choice but to present the edict. The people cried bitterly. At this point, the Southern Song Dynasty had no hope of restoring its hometown.
In 1141 AD, the Jin Dynasty wanted to reconsider peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, and one of the conditions was to kill Yue Fei. In exchange for peace and stability in Zhao Song's imperial power, Zhao Gou colluded with Qin Hui to suppress the generals who held heavy troops, especially Yue Fei, who had the strongest military achievements and the highest reputation.
As mentioned above, the military discipline of the Yue family army is very strict, while the military discipline of the Southern Song government army is generally very poor. Not only that, the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty generally embezzled and accepted bribes, regarded soldiers as slaves, and regarded the people as grass. Yue Fei not only had no personal morality, but also managed the army well and loved the people as their sons. By comparison, it is no wonder that Yue Fei was praised on the altar both in the Southern Song Dynasty and in later generations. It is precisely because of this that Yue Fei was hated by his colleagues and the emperor was suspicious of him.
In 1142 AD, Yue Fei was killed on false charges at the age of 39. His son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian were also killed. 20 years later, in the 32nd year of Shaoxing (1162), Song Xiaozong Zhao Sheng entrusted the throne, and issued an edict to rehabilitate Yue Fei, posthumously named Yue Fei as Wu Mu , and was buried on the shore of the West Lake Lake.
Because Qin Hui and Qin Hu father and son once held the power of the history museum, historical materials about Yue Fei and the Yue family army were destroyed and tampered with. Officials of the Song court could only verify historical facts by visiting the so-called soldiers. Yue Fei's three sons Yue Lin also participated in the compilation of the first draft of Yue Fei's biography. Yue Lin's son Yue Ke was entrusted by his father's death. On this basis, he compiled 28 volumes of " E Guo Jin Tuo's edited " and 30 volumes of " E Guo Jin Tuo's continuous ", restoring part of the historical truth.
In 1204 AD, the Southern Song Dynasty court posthumously named Yue Fei as Ewang , and was awarded Taishi . Song Lizong In the first year of Baoqing (1225), he was renamed "Zhongwu". Later generations Yue Fei and his "Manjianghong" were also widely spread as a spiritual belief during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The sentence "returning my rivers and mountains" has expressed the joys and sorrows of many Chinese children, and has inspired one martyr after another to move forward and move forward.
Yue Fei became famous in this battle and became a rising star in the Southern Song Dynasty.
