"Looking at its discussions, it will be a hero!After reading an examination paper entitled "The Book of Rites", he was deeply moved by the text of "talking about generosity" and praised it. After opening the seal, the candidate's name jumped on the paper: Zhao Fang.
Xin Qiji's discerning eyes and pearls. Many years later, the high-spirited Zhao Fang became a staunch main battle faction and anti-Jin minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, and built the Jingxiang line into an insurmountable copper wall for the Jin soldiers, resisting the Jin soldiers' invasion, and taking the initiative to attack the enemy army.
Zhao Fang is a Confucian student, how can He De be called "Grandpa Zhao" by the Jin people?
After Zhao Fang was admitted to the Jinshi, he was awarded the post of director of the public security bureau of a county in Hubei. He conducted in-depth investigation and research, corrected unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, repeatedly cracked major and important cases, and was promoted to director of the Municipal Education and Sports Bureau of Daning Jian (now Wuxi County, Chongqing Municipality) with his outstanding political achievements.
The people of Daning are ugly, and the people are proud that they don't know a single word. Zhao Fang was determined to change the status quo and selected a group of plastic talents to teach him personally, so that the locals were encouraged and infected, and began to study Xi diligently, and finally someone was admitted to the Jinshi for the first time.
A sentence that Zhao Fang said to his boss after being transferred to Qingyang County was praised by the people of the time as a famous saying: "When urging the payment of rent and tax, it does not disturb the normal life of the people, which is the implementation of the word 'Fu';."If there is no mistake in the punishment, the punishment is in accordance with the education. ”
After Zhao Fang was promoted to the governor of Suizhou, Hubei, the "country of eastern Han", Suizhou was suffering from drought and locust plagues, and the people were struggling to make a living. Zhao Fang was so worried that he personally ran between the suburbs and prayed sincerely for the people. Perhaps it was the love of the people that moved the heavens, "a heavy rain overnight, the locusts died", and during the autumn harvest, Suizhou got a bumper harvest.
Zhao Fang greatly admired the highly respected minister Liu Guangzu, "Do things with a teacher." He thinks he has a strong personality, while Liu Guangzu is gentle and elegant, and he is a role model to Xi learn from and emulate. He implored Liu Guangzu to write a handwritten letter, "Persuade me to be gentle.""Four words, hanging the motto of the study from time to time.
Zhao Fang was humble and accepted his friend's suggestion to "pay attention to talents" to make meritorious contributions, selected talents and talents, and vigorously promoted some civil and military celebrities to high positions, and fought against gold together with the enemy.
During his tenure in Suizhou, the civil and military forces in various border areas were generally relaxed because the imperial court and the Jin State had reached the "Jiading Peace Conference". Zhao Fang did the opposite, "recruiting troops alone and choosing generals" to strengthen combat readiness. He vigorously recommended "local tyrant Meng Zongzheng and other supplementary officials" and ordered the ministry to "be stationed in Xiangyang (now Xiangyang City, Hubei Province)" to prepare for war.
Many years later, Zhao Fang returned to Hubei in circles and was promoted to the senior officer in charge of Jingxiang's military affairs. Although his position continued to rise, Zhao Fang's sense of combat readiness never relaxed.
At this time, the Jin Kingdom, which rose between the white mountains and black waters, and had forced the Zhao Emperor's son to the south of the Yangtze River like a wolf and a tiger, was defeated by the emerging polar bear Mongol soldiers and could not find the north, and was defeated and retreated. Zhao Fang took precautions, expecting that the Jin State would definitely invade south, so he built fortresses at the dangerous places in the east and west mountains of Jingmen, and sent additional defenders to defend this strategic place.
A certain gold will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and lead the troops to return to the south. Zhao Fang was thoughtful, lest there be fraud, until this team was chased by the Jin soldiers to Xiangyang, and then ordered Meng Zongzheng and others to lead more than 100 cavalry to respond. Meng Zongzheng and others killed more than 1,000 Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers returned to the north in embarrassment.
Zhao Fang synthesized the intelligence analysis of all parties, made a judgment that "the Jin people are determined to invade the territory", and immediately issued a command to the entire territory of Hubei to prepare for first-level combat. After the Jin soldiers launched a full-scale attack on all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, the Song court was still suffering from the controversy of gains and losses, as well as the pros and cons. Zhao Fang was so worried that he woke up his two sons in the middle of the night: "The enemy army is menacing, but the court is still in peace."
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to rise up and resist to repay the country!I'll lead my troops to the border tomorrow morning to fight the Jinren!He handed over to his son the sparse performance of advising the Song Gaozong court to resist Jin, and resolutely led his troops to Xiangyang in the early morning to reinforce.
Zaoyang (present-day Zaoyang, Hubei) was located on the border of the Song and Jin dynasties and was under siege by Jin soldiers. Zhao Fang commanded Ruoding, sent Meng Zongzheng and others to aid Zaoyang, and sent additional defenders to the various places that were divided and surrounded by Jin soldiers. The defenders of Zaoyang and the reinforcements should join forces inside and outside, and the Jin soldiers were defeated, "Zaoyang is encircled." ”
After the Jin soldiers retreated north, Zhao Fang warned the generals that they must take precautions to stop the Jin soldiers on the border, and must not let them enter the country and passively defend the city. "When the wheat is ripe", Zhao Fang sent heavy troops to protect the people, quickly harvested, quickly fought and hidden, the walls were cleared, and not a grain of grain was left for the devils.
At the same time, in the second sparseness, he stated seven reasons why the Song court could not negotiate peace with the Jin people. After repeated discussions, the imperial court decided to accept the suggestion and fight against the Jin State.
In the face of the invasion of the 100,000 Jin soldiers, Zhao Fang was confident, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and launched an offensive and defensive tug-of-war with the Jin soldiers for more than a year. Under the concerted efforts of the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers, the second battle of Zaoyang ended in failure.
Jin Guo was annoyed and angry, and regained his strength in an attempt to drive straight into the country in one fell swoop. Jin General Wanyan was ordered to besiege Zaoyang, dig a deep trench outside the city, and surround it with an earthen city.
Zhao Fang had already expected that the Jin soldiers would definitely be dispatched this time to cause the rear to be empty, and formulated the tactics of "smashing the weakness, then the siege of Zaoyang will be self-relieved" to encircle Wei and save Zhao, so that Meng Zongzheng would stick to Zaoyang, and the rest of the Song army would go straight to the rear of the Jin State in two ways.
Meng Zongzheng "fought day and night in Zaoyang, burning its attack tools, and the Jin people did not dare to approach the city." After the eastern and western armies reached the purpose of the campaign, they returned to Zaoyang to start a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, "killing 30,000 of them, and the Jin people were defeated." He can ride away alone, and his food and armor are incalculable. ”
Zhao Fang expected the enemy to be like a god, and concluded that after the Jin soldiers repeatedly attacked Zaoyang and failed, "they will definitely attack Zhucheng at the same time", and decided not to defend passively, "should be the first to control it." He ordered the eastern and western armies to attack Tangzhou (now Tanghe County, Henan) and Dengzhou (present-day Dengzhou, Henan), which were occupied by the Jin State.
Before the army left the army, Zhao Fang warned the commanders of the two routes: "You must not go deep into the enemy-occupied area, let alone attack the city!"All you need to do is defeat the local defenders, burn down the local walls, and seize their military supplies!”
This attack was very successful, and the Song army won the greatest victory at a very small cost, which made the Jin soldiers tremble. Jin Bing was annoyed and angry, and counterattacked to Fancheng with great momentum. Zhao Fang was confident, ordered the troops to be ready for battle, and swaggered to inspect the troops. Seeing that the Jin soldiers could not take advantage, the troops were stationed for three days and evacuated.
Soon, the Jin soldiers made a comeback, and the forward invaded Huaixi, and the Jin general Wanyan little donkey was stationed in Tuntang Prefecture as a backup. In order to make the vanguard of the Jin State a lone enemy, Zhao Fang decided to attack Tangzhou first to eliminate the trouble, and then close the door and fight the dog to intercept the vanguard of the Jin soldiers. The Song army stormed Tangzhou City as planned, "defeated the Jin people in Tangcheng, beheaded (Wanyan) the little donkey, and surrounded the city for five turns", almost capturing Tangzhou City.
Because Qi and Huang Erzhou were captured by the forward troops of the Jin soldiers, Zhao Fang commanded the troops to return to the division to rescue. He ordered all the troops to avoid the real and the false, "Serve the gold and attack it." Under his correct command, "the Jin man was defeated." The "Song army" chased sixty miles and captured its supervising army. ”
Rong Ma's perennial conquest made Zhao Fang suffer from a stubborn illness. After returning to the division, he led his troops to inspect the troops, rewarded the soldiers under his command, and registered them according to their merits, and went to the court to ask for rewards.
As his condition became critical, Zhao Fang became more and more worried about the country. Before dying, he summoned the love generals into his bedroom and encouraged them to "serve the country with all their hearts." In the end, he forced his sick body to write a letter to the prime minister, "On the great plan of the territory." Soon after, Zhao Fang died of illness in Xiangyang. The bad news came out, "Everyone regrets it." ”
Zhao Fang entered the ranks as a Confucian student, but he had no teacher and was quite knowledgeable about military aircraft. He "commanded the border for 10 years, took the war as the defense," and creatively established a wartime joint command system in which "the joint officials and militia are one, and the general department is one family."
After winning the third battle of Zaoyang, Zhao Fangzuo asked the imperial court to reward the officers and soldiers with an equal amount of food for the militia, so as to increase the enthusiasm of the militia to participate in the war. In particular, the militia who prepared their own war horses to participate in the war should be doubly rewarded.
He also suggested to the imperial court: "In order to save the expenses of the imperial court, I request that the militia return to their families and farm in the summer, and then garrison the border for defense after the autumn harvest." The "imperial court" from it. ”
Zhao Fang was strict in governing the army, and often ordered "all generals should not get drunk when drinking", and kept in a state of waiting for the emperor at any time. Therefore, when the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was "repeatedly plagued by the Jin people along the border of Huai and Shu", only the place guarded by Zhao Fang was "unique in one place", and "the court had no worries about the north." ”
Zhao Fang's ability to build the Jingxiang border defense into a strong Great Wall that terrified the Jin soldiers fully shows that "useless scholars are scholars" is a pure fallacy!Facts have proved that as long as we are full of patriotic enthusiasm, there will always be more ways than difficulties!
