Han Shizhong had a rough personality when he was young, and at the age of 18, he was recruited into Xiangzhou with martial arts and began his military career.
In the fourth year of Huizong Chongning (1105), Xia soldiers invaded the Song realm, and the Song Dynasty transferred troops to defend the palace, and Han Shizhong went with the army. In this battle, Han Shizhong took the lead bravely, killed the enemy, and repelled the Xia army again and again. Because of his outstanding military achievements, his superiors reported his merits. At this time, the power of the traitor boy was in charge of side affairs, and he suspected that the report was false, so he only gave Han Shizhong a supplement.
During the reign of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, Li Fu, a colonel of the Song Army, incited the soldiers to rebel, and there were tens of thousands of followers. Han Shizhong was ordered to lead the men and horses to pursue, to the bank of the Linzi River, Han Shizhong's soldiers were less than 1,000 people, divided into four teams, and the tribulus terrestris himself blocked the way back, and ordered: "If you advance, you will win, and if you retreat, you will be defeated, and those who flee will be killed by the rear team." So the Song army marched forward bravely, broke the rebels, and beheaded Li Fu. The remnants of the rebels were defeated, Han Shizhong took advantage of the victory to pursue, and chased to Suqian, where there were still 10,000 traitors, who were drinking and having fun, defenseless. Han Shizhong rode alone and shouted loudly: "The Song army is here!" If you put down your sword and surrender, I will protect you and others and make a name for yourself in the future. The thieves were afraid to surrender and knelt down to Han Shizhong into the cow wine. Han Shizhong unhurriedly unsaddled and dismounted, ate meat and drank alcohol. By dawn, the Song army had not yet come, and the traitor knew that he had been fooled, but to no avail. Han Shizhong single-handedly surrendered the traitors, and moved the Zuowu doctor and the Guozhou regiment training envoy with merit.
After the Jin soldiers attacked Zhaodi, Han Shizhong repelled the attack of the Jin soldiers in the middle of the night when it snowed heavily. Song Ting rewarded Han Shizhong and promoted him to the official position of Jiazhou Defense Envoy.
After the difficulty of Jingkang, King Kang Zhao Gou became the emperor and was Gaozong. Since Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he did not think of recovering the Central Plains, but blindly retreated south, causing dissatisfaction among some generals and ministers in the court. Soon after Gaozong moved to Lin'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), the courtiers Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan rebelled and forced Zhao Gou to abdicate, shocking the court. At this time, the courtiers, led by Zhang Jun, discussed rehabilitation in Pingjiang (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu). At that time, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi participated in this move, and Han Shizhong also brought his troops.
In March, Han Shizhong led his troops to Xiuzhou (now Jiaxing, Zhejiang), saying that he was ill, but secretly stepped up the construction of ladders and weapons. Soon, Han Shizhong immediately sent troops to Lin'an.
Han Shizhong's troops went to Linping (now Yuhang County, Zhejiang, east of Linping Mountain), and Miao Fu sent Miao Yi and Ma Rouji to block the river in the mountains, and set up antlers in the middle of the river. Han Shizhong led the soldiers to abandon their boats and ships and fight hard. Zhang Jun led troops again, Liu Guangshi also led troops, and the rebels were a little timid. Han Shizhong stepped forward again and ordered the soldiers: "Today, you should repay the country with death, and anyone who is not shot and wounded by the rebels in the face will be beheaded!" So the soldiers pressed forward even harder. At this time, the rebels were armed with crossbows, and they were all waiting with bows. Han Shizhong opened his eyes angrily, shouted loudly, and charged forward, the rebels could not resist, the bow and arrow had not yet been issued, the Han soldiers had arrived, and the rebels were defeated and fled. When Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan heard of the defeat, they opened the Yongjin Gate and fled with 2,000 elite soldiers.
Han Shizhong led his troops into Lin'an, and Gaozong stepped out of the palace gate to greet him when he heard the news. Gaozong held Han Shizhong's hand and cried bitterly and said: "Wu Zhan of the Chinese army is the most rebellious, and he is still by my side to take care of me, can you get rid of him first?" Han Shizhong readily agreed, so he went to see Wu Zhan, shook hands and took the opportunity to break his finger, and sent someone to tie up Cao in the city. Later, he caught Wang Shixiu, the mastermind of the rebellion. Gaozong was moved, and awarded Han Shizhong as the envoy of the Wusheng Army, and the left army of the imperial camp was under control. Han Shizhong also said that the traitors still have elite soldiers, and they are close to the capital, so they should be pacified, and Zhao Gou agreed. So Han Shizhong led his troops to chase Miao and Liu Yuyu Liangyi. When the rebels saw Han Shizhong chasing after him, they were defeated without a fight. Han Shizhong captured Liu Zhengyan and Miao Yi, and captured Miao Fu in Jianyang, and escorted them to Lin'an to be killed.
Ping Miao and Liu Zhizhi, Han Shizhong took the lead and charged ahead, and the credit was the greatest. Gaozong's handwritten "loyal and brave" two words, embroidered on the flag, both hands to raise the flag to Han Shizhong, and awarded Han Shizhong as the inspection of the school major security, Wu Sheng, Zhaoqing military festival envoy. Han Shizhong was 40 years old at the time.
