Chuding, a native of Mengcheng, Anfeng (now Mengcheng County, Anhui Province). Some fans wrote to you to learn about Chu Ding’s life and story. Today I will bring you a different story about this general. This is the most difficult Yuan army general I have ever read, but he lives a different life with his tenacious vitality, which really corresponds to the saying that flowers bloom and fade, and disasters are reincarnated. As long as you are here and travel thousands of mountains, you will definitely continue your previous relationship. Chu Ding lost his father when he was young, and his stepfather Wang Bian was the defensive envoy of the Shouchun Prefecture of Jin Guo (now Shou County, Anhui Province). At this time, it was the late Jin Guo 4 that the Mongolian army marched south to the Jin Kingdom and wars broke out. Wang Bian received an order from the Jin Emperor Jin Aizong to lead his troops to guard Suzhou City (now Suzhou City, Anhui Province) in preparation for the Southern Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Taizong of Yuan Dynasty/the third year of Tianxing of Jin Dynasty/the first year of Duanping of Southern Song Dynasty, Caizhou City, the last stronghold of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, was captured by the Mongolian and Song coalition forces, and the last emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Aizong, hanged himself and committed suicide. The Southern Song Dynasty officially began to recover lost territory, and Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty began a head-on confrontation.
Caizhou in the Jin Dynasty was captured by the Southern Song coalition forces. Jin people The fallen country, the general of the Southern Song Dynasty, led by Meng Gong, took half of the body of Jin Aizong (the other half was taken back to Mongolia for merit) and returned to Lin'an City (now Hangzhou City), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Song Lizong ordered people to send the remains of Jin Aizong to the Taimiao of the Southern Song Dynasty to comfort the spirits of ancestors who were bullied by the Jin people by the "Jingkang Shame". At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was filled with joy, and the Southern Song Dynasty court held a series of major celebrations. At this time, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were blinded by this great victory. Especially under the agitated by a group of civil ministers, Song Lizong was eager to send troops to collect the former Northern Song Dynasty Kaifeng Prefecture (now Kaifeng, Henan), Xijing Henan Prefecture (now Luoyang, Henan) and Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture (now Shangqiu, Henan). This military operation was called " Duanping Lulu ".
However, the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia are now allied relations, and they were also the two most powerful military groups in the world during that period, and it was difficult to have a peak duel. The territorial issue that could have been resolved normally through negotiation actually caused the Southern Song Dynasty's gang of ministers who were infuriated into an armed attack. With the support of a group of civil officials such as Zheng Qingzhi, Zhao Fan, , Zhao Kui, , Zhendexiu, and other civil officials. Due to serious pre-war lack of preparation and major problems such as food and grass supply, the Southern Song army, which had already invaded , Luoyang City, actually fought a decisive battle with the Mongolian army without eating for four days. The result is conceivable. In the end, the Southern Song army that recovered the lost territory was beaten and defeated by the Mongolian army. This operation also became the direct fuse for the outbreak of a full-scale war between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty.
11th year of Taizong/In 1239, the third year of Jiaxi of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Bian Chu Ding and his son led their troops to the city guards together with the city guards to surrender to the Mongolian army led by the zong king A Shulu . King A Shulu (son of King Tachaer of the host king) appointed Wang Bian as the original position of the Jin Dynasty at the time of and continued to lead troops to guard Suzhou City. In the same year, the Southern Song army began to attack Suzhou. Wang Bian led his troops to fight hard and died. Chu Ding retreated but was injured by arrows and was captured by the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty imprisoned Chu Ding in Zhenjiang Prefecture (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province). Chu Ding was in prison for fourteen years. Among them, many of them were persuaded to surrender Chu Ding but was rejected by Chu Ding. This phenomenon of long-term detention of envoys and prisoners of war was very common at the time. The envoys of dozens of people including the great scholars of the Yuan Dynasty, such as Hao Jing, He Yuan, Liu Renjie, Gou Zongdao, Ma Detian, Kong Jin, etc. were detained for 16 years by the treacherous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, before being released back to Dadu.
to the 12th year of Yuan Dynasty/In 1275 of the first year of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty general Boyan led a large army to cross the river and began the battle to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty. Chu Ding was detained at this time in the prison of Taipingzhou (now Dangtu County, Anhui). However, after Meng Zhijin, the prefect of Taipingzhou, led his troops to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty Boyan's army, Chu Ding was then handed over to the Yuan army. Chu Ding was very restored to military posts, and Jiangnan Province directly sent Ding as underground workers to directly participate in the work of Sun Shixian, the guardian of the Southern Song Dynasty, Ningguo Mansion (now Xuancheng City, Anhui Province). Chu Ding only brought one entourage and entered Sun Shixian's house at night. Chu Ding soon persuaded Sun Shixian's troops to surrender. Due to his merits, Chu Ding was appointed as the general manager of the army, and General Huaiyuan led his troops to guard Ningguo Mansion.
Chu Ding was in Ningguo Mansion because of his bravery in combat, he soon led his troops to wipe out and pacify the bandits and bandits in Jianping (now Langxi County, Xuancheng City), Guangde (now Xuancheng City manages county-level cities). The folk customs here are quite strong. The famous Fang La Uprising in the Song Dynasty rose in this area. Chu Ding and Wanhu Boluotai escorted Li Hanying, the son of the urged envoy Li Quan, to Huizhou City, and successfully persuaded Li Quan to surrender. In the 13th year of Zhiyuan/In 1276 of the second year of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Hanying and Li Shida rebelled, and the ministries and citizens of the two counties of Jingde and Taiping responded.
Chu Ding and general Wuhuna marched to quell the rebellion. Zheng Anzhi, a native of Anhui, offered his advice and waited for Li Hanying and Li Shida to fight in an internal battle. When they were injured, they would not fight. If they were attacked, they would definitely unite to fight against the Yuan army. As expected, Chu Ding led his troops to quell the rebellion without bloodshed. General Wuhuna was furious because the people in Jingde and Taiping killed the local magistrates. Zheng An sacrificed his life for the people and asked Chu Ding to save the people from water and fire. Chu Ding persuaded Wuhuna to give up the massacre, and the people in several counties were spared from the suffering of massacre. Later, after Zheng An died of illness, the villagers set up a ancestral hall for him to sacrifice his merits.
to 1278, in 1278, Chu Ding officially accepted the talisman rewarded by the Yuan Dynasty for his merits. In 1281, the 18th year of Zhiyuan, Emperor Taizu of Yuan issued an order to start the eastward expedition to Japan, and in the spring it launched the Second Conquest War against Japan. The scale of the invasion of the Yuan Dynasty's army was much larger than the first conquest of Japan. Among them, the new Jiangnan Army led by generals such as , Fan Wenhu, , Li Ting, etc., had more than 100,000 elite troops from the former Southern Song Dynasty. This was not considered the auxiliary military branches. Chu Ding led his troops to participate in this war of conquest against Japan. This time, the Yuan Dynasty army sent troops to attack Japan. One route was led by generals Xindu, Hongchaqiu and others, and more than 900 naval warships, set out from the Korean Peninsula to attack Japan across the sea. The elite troops of 100,000 Jiangnan led by general Fan Wenhu (it is wrong that it is not the case that the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty have no combat power. The Southern Song Dynasty was one of the strongest infantry combat forces in the world at that time), with more than 3,500 warships, set out from Qingyuan Port (now Ningbo City, Zhejiang).
There are a total of 45,000 Mongolian troops, 50,000 Goryeo troops, and more than 100,000 Han troops. The fleet of the Yuan Dynasty's army delayed its departure due to many issues such as supply and personnel release. At this time, the Koryoi Allied Forces had already set out first, but failed in the Naval Battle of Tsushima and returned first. In the summer of the same year, the Yuan army and the Goryeo army recaptured Iki Island , and then thought that they had begun to march towards Kyushu Island and carried out successful landing operations at different locations. However, due to the continuous harassment of the Japanese army day and night, the Yuan army was forced to retreat to the warship. At this time, I didn't expect a natural disaster to come. A large typhoon that lasted for several days, which is the famous kamikaze in Japanese history. This typhoon attacked the Yuan army fleet and destroyed most of the ships. Chu Ding led more than a thousand people to protect the left prime minister Fan Wenhu and others backed over to the sea, but he did not expect the strong wind to blow over the warships that Chu Ding had chaired.
After Chu Ding fell to the sea, he relied on his tenacious vitality to grab a piece of the remaining ship board with both hands, and drifted on the sea for three days and nights with the strong wind. On the fourth day, he was discovered by Fan Wenhu's fleet. Chu Ding, who had saved his life, arrived at Hepu City, Jinzhou, Goryeo and returned to the Central Plains. As the saying goes, there will be blessings in the future even if you survive a disaster. After Kublai Khan learned about Chu Ding's deeds, he praised Chu Ding's bravery in front of the generals, and ordered people to reward treasures such as brocade clothes, BMWs, and carved bows, and ordered Chu Ding to lead his troops to continue to guard the Jiangnan area.
