He was a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty and left many outstanding works to posterity. However, he is not just a lyricist, he is also a heroic and warlike "wolf warrior". Such a demure and dignified lyricist in our impression is actually a fierce general who can conquer and kill decisively, and killing the enemy on the battlefield is his true character.
He is Xin Qiji.
The Southern Song Dynasty court was corrupt and weak, why did such a bloody man appear?How did he grow from a weak scholar to a "wolf warrior" Xin Qiji?
How did an idle lyricist become the number one general?
In 1142, Xin Qiji was born into a prominent official family.
In that year, the Northern Song Dynasty had already fallen, and the Southern Song court was reduced to a vassal of the Jin State. Taizong wanted to go north to recover the rivers and mountains, but he was repeatedly defeated. The government and the opposition began to lose confidence in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The autumn of the survival of the family and the country is the time when the hot-blooded young people rise up to fight.
Xin Qiji, who has been from a wealthy family since he was a child, seems to be a comfortable and comfortable son-in-law. But under the influence of his ambitious grandfather, the young man's heart burned with blood.
At the age of 21, Xin Qijian resolutely joined the anti-Jin rebel army led by Geng Jing, recruited more than 2,000 horses, and vowed to fight to the death with the Jin. In order to show his determination, he also personally killed the spies who stole the military flag and surrendered to the enemy.
After the success of the battle, Xin Qiji was ordered to send an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty court to seek reinforcements. Who knows, at this time, Geng Jingzhongji was killed, and his subordinates defected to the enemy.
At the moment of crisis, in the face of tens of thousands of rebels and Jin soldiers, Xin Qiji led 50 cavalry into the enemy formation and captured the rebel general Zhang Anguo.
In the face of blood and life and death, the young Xin Qiji withstood the baptism. He not only proved his bravery, but also ignited a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the people who were sinking at that time with his fearless spirit.
At the age of twenty-five, Xin Qiji began his magnificent and bumpy career.
Xin Qi rushed into the capital to face the saint, and Song Gaozong valued his talent very much. However, for decades, the Southern Song Dynasty and the opposition, most scholars advocated stabilizing the territory and not seeking recovery.
In order to appease Xin Qiji, Song Gaozong awarded him the Hanlin Bachelor's Mission, but in fact, he only let Xin Qiji manage the written classics.
After Xin Qiji took office, he first raised military salaries and rectified the forbidden army. He also pointed out the disadvantages of the times, and put forward a strategy of using troops with leniency and fierceness. This "scholar in power" made many old officials in the DPRK and China jealous.
In just over a year, Xin Qiji was once again belittled and reduced to a local petty official.
After many frustrations, the 35-year-old Xin Qiji chose to retire to the countryside. In his opinion, the Southern Song Dynasty court was already mediocre and difficult to give birth.
However, his true nature as a military general did not fade there. Even if he no longer asks about the world, Xin Qiji still swims among the mountains and rivers, likes to hunt wild beasts, and learns martial arts with his old friends.
It was precisely because he still remembered the military in his heart that at the age of 47, the new emperor ascended the throne, Xin Qijian once again ignited his hope and immediately made an appointment with a friend to discuss the Northern Expedition. However, the death of two confidants one after another plunged him into a trough of despair again.
A lifetime's dreams and struggles seem to have come to an end.
When the 63-year-old received the letter of the Northern Expedition, Xin Qiji was very excited.
However, he soon discovered that the Northern Expedition was a political pretext for the new emperor. The generals of all walks of life did not obey his command, and the traitors in the court made stumbling everywhere, and the battle situation was chaotic.
The Jin soldiers took the opportunity to **, and the army retreated. This defeat was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Lao Xin's dream of abandoning his old age.
At the age of 68, Xin Qi was seriously ill in bed, but he was still muttering "kill thieves". He sacrificed his life for the country, but he failed to realize his wish in the end.
When the Jin soldiers came to the city, this veteran who had entered the twilight of his life could only watch his motherland disappear under the iron hooves of Mongolia.
When he entered Beijing at the age of 25, Xin Qiji was full of ambition and wanted to take up an important military position and launch the Northern Expedition.
However, the Northern Expedition he begged for was too aggressive in the context of the Southern Song Dynasty's many years of stabilizing the territory. Most of the ** in the DPRK and China are not optimistic about this young talent.
Gaozong was jealous of his talent and ambition, and only gave him an idle position. After Xin Qiji took office, he first rectified the personnel of the department, eliminated the corruption of the old officials, repaired the school field, and practiced the forbidden army. However, his actions soon attracted open opposition from the old ministers and veterans, and even spread rumors to attack him.
Faced with an escalating power struggle, Gojong demoted Xin Qiji to a local petty official in order to quell the dispute.
A few years later, G Gaozong saw that Xin Qiji was talented, and used him as prime minister again. This time, Xin Qiji proposed a strategy of using troops at the beginning of his tenure - he planned to recover Henan and Shaanxi to accumulate strength for the future Northern Expedition.
However, the military plan has just risen to the top of the court's agenda, leading to even greater political disputes. The military ministers were reluctant to fight, and the civilian officials were worried that the war would affect the imperial examinations. In the midst of opposition from all sides, Gaozong took his life to send Xin Qiji to a remote place.
After many ups and downs, Xin Qiji understood that in this nepotistic Southern Song Dynasty court, where eagles and dogs were in groups, it would be difficult for him to display his ambitions after all.
The days when he resigned and retired at the age of 35 was a time when Xin abandoned his illness.
He finally got rid of the calamity of the court and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. He often invited his old friends to his home, and the two drank and recited poetry, galloped through the mountains and forests, and chased prey.
In the years since he left his post at home, Xin Qiji has been very close to his two friends. One is the physicist Zhu Xi, and the other is the poet Chen Liang.
The three of them are like-minded and often work the country's plans. They all advocated the recovery of the Central Plains and the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom.
At the age of 47, the emperor died, Zhu Chen and the others went to mourn, and Xin Qiji was also ready to accompany him.
Originally, this was a golden opportunity for the Northern Expedition. The three agreed to take the opportunity to write to the new emperor to win his trust and realize his wish for the Northern Expedition.
However, at this moment, Chen Liang suddenly contracted an illness and died. Xin Qiji went to mourn, and soon Zhu Xi also died in bed and returned to his hometown.
The loss of two close friends within two years can imagine the great blow to Xin Qiji. He no longer has the heart to socialize, so he chooses to live in seclusion and live a career in the south of the Yangtze River.
And the unfinished dream of the Northern Expedition was shattered.
Xin Qiji's life was bumpy, and he experienced the invasion of Jin soldiers and the ravages of Mongolian soldiers, and the motherland was in turmoil.
However, this is both civil and military"Wolf Warrior", never gave up the struggle. He is not afraid of strong enemies, not afraid of death, just for the blood and family and country feelings in his heart.
Although his anti-gold cause ended in failure, the spirit of speaking up and treating death as if he were home will always inspire future generations.
He is not only a lyricist, but also a bloody man, who cherishes the motherland and loves the people in pain.
With his immature life, he wrote a history that cannot be forgotten.
He was a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty and left many outstanding works to posterity. However, he is not just a lyricist, he is also a heroic and warlike "wolf warrior".
Such a demure and dignified lyricist in our impression is actually a fierce general who can conquer and kill decisively, and killing the enemy on the battlefield is his true character.
Xin Qiji's words are extremely powerful and beautiful, and unlike many famous artists, Xin Qiji's words are not simply written with a pen, as if they were written with a knife.
Time has passed, and when we reread Xin Qiji's works today, we can still feel the murderous and majestic momentum of his pen.
Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp, 800 miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse was made of Lou fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name of the front and back. Poor white happens.
It's like an unsheathed sword, emitting a cold light that makes people shudder.
It seems to remind us that if a nation wants to stand tall among the nations of the world, it must not lose its backboneIf a country wants to stand tall in the long river of time, it must not forget the fighting spirit of its ancestors.
