There is a saying that "It is better to go home to grow sweet potatoes than to be an official," to describe the people's expectations for those who entered the court in ancient times.
There were many specialties in the ancient officialdom. "Study hard and become an official" comes from the meaning of education in Confucian culture .
In ancient times, people who became officials in the court were divided into two types. One was civil servants who had good writing skills and could do a good job, and the other was military generals who had the strength and courage to lead troops to fight. Usually, civil servants who went to court to discuss major events with the monarch were civil servants, and military generals who went out to fight were military officers.
Yue Fei Entering the army to realize his childhood ambitions
There is such a military general in our country. His name is Yue Fei. When the country is in crisis, his mother stabbed him in the four big words "Loyalty for the country" on his back, hoping that Yue Fei can save the people and the fire.
The dynasty that Yue Fei lived in was Song Dynasty , and he experienced the replacement of several generations of emperors in the Song Dynasty. From the existing historical records, we can see that Yue Fei joined the army at the age of 20. At that time, the reserve force of the army to attack Khitan was not enough, so this recruitment also made him feel patriotic and enthusiastic when he was young.
The young and energetic Yue Fei was appreciated by the leaders at that time because he had a brute force that ordinary people did not have. He also had excellent personal abilities in the team, such as riding and shooting, swords and guns, and martial arts. After being appreciated, he was immediately promoted to "squad leader" by his leader.
Since the troops Yue Fei joined were recruited by local officials themselves, they did not follow the organization of the Song Dynasty at that time, the official positions established could not be found in the formal army, but the team leader was the smallest official position for this recruiting force.
In the military organization and official positions of the Song Dynasty, the rights they have are completely related to how many people they can manage. The more people you can manage under your command, the higher your official position and the greater your power. According to the division of the number of troops, 500 people are an infantry battalion and 400 people are a cavalry battalion. The corresponding positions of the management personnel are the chief and deputy generals and the chief and deputy commander.
Then the official positions that could serve as civil officials and military generals in the court at that time were the governor, Zhongshu Order, and prime minister. Such official positions had great power in the court, and in the social context at that time, those who were officials regarded these official positions as honor. Although several of them were false names, they did not have much real power.
After winning the first bandit suppression, he bid farewell to the military camp
Yue Fei became the team leader as soon as he entered the military camp. It is similar to the platoon leader in the current army. The first war he participated in was a battle to wipe out the two famous bandits Tao Jun and Jia Jin at that time.
Xingyou martial arts, Yue Fei, who had good martial arts, took the initiative to apply to lead troops to suppress bandits, led hundreds of soldiers from the cavalry battalion, and led his subordinates to seize the opportunity on the battlefield to ambush in advance, and then wiped out the other side in one fell swoop.
In this battle, Yue Fei not only captured Jia Jin and Tao Jun alive, but also effectively suppressed the local peasant uprising, and his personal military capabilities were well demonstrated.
After returning to the army, he was even more appreciated and praised by his superiors. At the end of the same year, Yue Fei had no choice but to resign from his official position at that time and went home to mourn his father. This mourning took him five years, and his military life pressed the pause button.
joined the army four times, experienced many battles, but was proud of the officialdom but was framed by treacherous
In the past few years of mourning, Yue Fei's family encountered a flood disaster, and his family was in a difficult situation. Later, he joined the army again by chance. After gaining the experience of joining the army for the first time and his resume of pacifying the peasant uprising, Yue Fei's second joining was given an official position just like the first time he joined the army.
This time I joined the army organized by the Song Dynasty, and the position was a low-ranking officer in the cavalry battalion, which was comparable in size to the last team leader. The army he was in was the pacification army on the front line of the national defense. Its importance to the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the modern production and construction corps , and its preparation level was the same as that of the border defense army.
After joining the Pingding Army, Yue Fei fought in Niangzi Pass, and was respected by the local people in a battle against the Jin army bravely killing the enemy. Later generations built a temple in Niangzi Pass and named it Yue Fei Temple. In the next two years, the war in the Niangziguan area was relatively stable.
Because the military situation at Niangziguan is relatively stable, Yue Fei was temporarily transferred to another county to participate in the battle, but he didn't know that Yue Fei's transfer put an end to the Pingding Army. After Yue Fei was transferred, the Jin army made a thrill of defeating the Pingding Army with the determination to kill 800 enemies and lose one thousand of them. At that time, the commanders of the Jin army to conquer the Pingding Army were Zonghan and Zong Wang.
Immediately afterwards, the Jin army took advantage of the great rise in morale and sent troops to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song . After more than half a month of fighting, the final result was that Northern Song was declared destruction.
At this time, Yue Fei captured the county he was transferred from his residence, and rushed his troops home and joined the defeated soldiers who were recruited at that time. This was Yue Fei's third time in the army. Before going to the expedition, his mother-in-law gave his son a loyalty to serve the country on his back.
At the end of the year, Kangwang Zhao Gou took office as the Grand Marshal of the Military and Horses of Xiangzhou, and Yue Fei had more than 300 cavalry soldiers under his command, and he was already well-known for killing the enemy in several battles. The brave and fearless Yue Fei couldn't stand the Grand Marshal Zhao Gou who retreated when he encountered the enemy, so he joined the deputy Marshal Zong Ze .
As the success of the generals, Yue Fei's official rank has also undergone new changes, from a platoon leader to Chengxinlang, Baoyilang, etc., which is equivalent to the current brigade-level cadres.
A few years later, Zhao Gou ascended the throne, constantly adopted the suggestions of the surrender faction, and gave in to the local government step by step. At this time, Yue Fei had already experienced many battles and completely disagreed with the suggestions of the surrender faction, so he directly wrote to the emperor to suggest sending troops regardless of his humble status and official rank.
This time, the letter directly ended Yue Fei's military career. Yue Fei, who was dismissed, was not discouraged, but made his fourth enlistment.
Yue Fei met his mentor- Zhangshu when he joined the army for the fourth time. After joining the army, he was immediately referred to as a brigade general, which was higher than the third time he joined the army. However, because Zhang Suo advocated the anti-Jin period in the court, he was exiled. After being exiled, he died of illness when he went to the place where he was exiled.
In this way, Yue Fei's army became alone. Another general of the same level as Yue Fei adopted conservative tactics, but Yue Fei insisted on launching a battle alone and ended with heavy casualties, resulting in the split of this lonely army, and Yue Fei led some of his soldiers to fight alone.
Later, Yue Fei learned that his old leader Zongze was in the Tokyo area and went directly to join Zongze and served as the commander of the Tokyo Left-behind Department. The passionate Zong Ze kept writing to the emperor and attacked the Jin army all the way north without success, and eventually died of illness.
coincided with the Jin army attacking Shaanxi. At this time, Yue Fei stepped forward and led his subordinates to defeat the Jin army. In this battle, his official position was promoted to Wugonglang . His personal military achievements were continuously promoted and promoted. The main official positions were Wuliufu, Wudefu, Yingzhou Governor, etc.
Although the official rank at this time is equivalent to the current brigade commander, the rank in the army is still very high. After
, the ruler Zhao Gou kept changing positions by the Jin army because he continued to take the suggestion of the surrender faction. Until the Battle of Majiadu in Hangzhou, Song Gaozong took a boat to hide in panic.
The surrendered soldiers were unwilling to help Yue Fei, who fought alone. After the two sides suffered heavy losses in battles, Yue Fei led his subordinates to recover several lost places, and at the same time captured tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, which was the first victory since Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty escaped.
After recovering Jiankang , Yue Fei and Song Gaozong met for the first time during the hajjong pilgrimage, and his official position was promoted to Wugong Doctor, Changzhou Defense Envoy, and Taizhou Punishment Envoy also served as the governor of Taizhou.
This time, the official position was directly assigned by the central government, responsible for military defense in one region or several regions, and can handle civil affairs, finance and other affairs. In terms of rights, this time they are all positions with real power.After
, the army led by Yue Fei was officially recognized by the central government and renamed Yue Family Army . His position was once again promoted to the position of the Prince Guardian and Jianzhou Observer.
From then on, Yue Fei's official position was continuously promoted by the rulers until Yue Fei was promoted to Taiwei when he was 35 years old.
As the official position of a military general, the Taiwei is already the top official position, equivalent to the commander of the military region, a first-rank official.
When Yue Fei was 39 years old, he was transferred to Wu Sheng, Dingguo Army Jiedu, Wanshou Temple Envoy, etc., and was finally framed by the villain Qin Hui .
At that time, in order to seek peace, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui directly recalled Yue Fei and other generals who were guarding the border, and gave them the position of the Ministry of National Defense in their official position, but took back the military power in their hands.
In the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, as a general who had experienced many battles and bloody killing enemies, met a timid monarch like Zhao Gou and a villain who sold his country for glory like Qin Hui. This was a pity for the rise and fall of a general and a country.
Since then, Yue Fei's life of loyalty to the country has come to an end, but his deeds are still recorded and passed down from generation to generation. Today, there are still many people worshipping Yue Fei's temple, and Qin Hui, the treacherous traitor who harmed Yue Fei, knelt in front of his tomb. This enlightenment is that we should remember history and learn lessons from history.
