During the Southern Song Dynasty, civil officials held real power and the status of military generals was relatively low, which was in stark contrast to the situation in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty when military generals such as Guo Wei and Zhao Kuangyin were in charge of the government and the status of military ministers was lofty.
After the Southern Song Dynasty suffered serious losses, the land shrank and the people's livelihood withered, which led to the gradual mainstream of the literati governing the country. This phenomenon was evident in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, the dictatorship of the civil servants made it difficult for the military generals to give full play to their talents.
In such an environment, Yue Fei made meritorious contributions by force, but he could not get the respect he deserved. He led the Yuejia army to bravely resist the enemy, but failed to win the favor of the imperial court. Civil officials such as Qin Hui can only talk on paper, and they look down on loyal ministers and good generals like Yue Fei who charge ahead.
They believed that military generals should obey the command of Wenchen and should not enjoy too high a status. Therefore, although Yue Fei and Yue Jiajun fought to the death against the Jin State on the front line and had outstanding achievements, they returned to the court, but they were still a group that had no right to speak.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, where civil officials were in power, the status of military ministers was like a captive beast, losing their due dignity.
In this environment, Qin Hui used his influence in the court to advocate weakening the strength of military generals in order to maintain imperial power. Under his planning, the Yue family's army was scattered and weakened, and the troops of other generals also faced the same fate.
Qin Hui relied on the political pattern of the Southern Song Dynasty to emphasize literature and light on military force, and successfully weakened the power of the generals and took the power into his own hands. At this time, the Yue family army tasted the bitterness of being unable to speak up for their commander Yue Fei, and could only watch the loyal people die.
This is undoubtedly an extremely insidious move by Qin Hui.
Qin Hui realized that the strength of the Yue family army could not be underestimated, and once he took action, the Yue family army might unite to protect their commander. In order to avoid this, Qin Hui devised a series of insidious strategies in the imperial court.
He took advantage of Gaozong's order and used the border emergency as an excuse to convene hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. During the discussion, he eloquently described the grim situation on the frontier, which could be harassed by the enemy if precautions were not strengthened.
Most of the civil and military officials present expressed their support and were willing to contribute to the country. Qin Hui suggested that in addition to sending more troops to the border, it is also necessary to make overall arrangements for various armies to avoid any problems.
He managed to divide the Yuejia army into four parts, which were sent to different defense areas close to the Jin State. Some of them continued to follow Yue Fei, while others were transferred out of Yue Fei's command and assigned to other generals.
Originally, the Yue family army was like an unstoppable sharp sword, but after being divided into four parts, its power seemed to be worn out by half. They could no longer unite closely under Yue Fei's command, nor could they assemble in time to protect Yue Fei when he was in danger.
Qin Hui took this opportunity to expand his sphere of influence and bribe some generals to make them secretly loyal to him. Although the morale of the Yue family's army still existed, their combat effectiveness had been greatly weakened and they could no longer form a formidable force.
They could not rally and could not protect their commanders. In the face of the cunning calculations of the traitor Qin Hui, this steel army, which had terrified the Jin people, finally showed signs of fatigue and defeat.
Yue Fei vowed to serve the country since he was a child, resist the enemy and defend his family. When he was 20 years old, the Jin soldiers invaded the south, and he witnessed the tragic attack and harassment of his hometown by the Jin soldiers, and the killing of innocent people, and his heart was sad.
So, he decided to join the army and vowed to avenge the nation. In the midsummer of that year, the scorching heat was unbearable, but he and his comrades-in-arms still trained the training ground all day long, not afraid of the scorching sun and heat, nor afraid of the severe cold and night patrol.
Three years later, he has become a skilled striker and has led his team to numerous feats. At that time, he was only 25 years old, and he had already become a brave and unparalleled general known as the "Little Captain".
When the news of his father's death came, Yue Fei had to put aside military affairs and return to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety. He wept at his father's grave and shed silent tears in the dead of night.
In a blink of an eye, the three-year period of filial piety has passed, and he has never forgotten to practice martial arts, worrying about the safety of the country. It didn't take long for the Jin soldiers to invade the frontier during the civil strife in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Yue Fei picked up the horsewhip and sword again, and resolutely rushed to the front line. His courageous charge once again terrified the enemy, and his name was once again celebrated.
In this way, Yue Fei grew from an ordinary peasant boy to a generation of famous generals, and people came here and gathered under his command, which was the Yue family army that later shocked the Quartet on the battlefield.
Every time he returned to his hometown, Yue Fei showed his feelings for his family and country and his righteous and awe-inspiring spirit. He has a pure heart that will never change, full of blood and bone marrow to serve the country.
Mother Yue is kind and kind-eyed, and loves her son like a biological mother. She understands that the world is going through a crisis and needs someone as loyal as her son.
Therefore, she did not stop her son, but just wrote the words "Loyal to the country" on his back, representing her life's expectations. Yue Fei was full of strength, rushed to the battlefield again, and never returned.
He didn't expect that this expedition would be a long and endless journey. He was a man of calculations and lost his life. And his subordinates are also scattered everywhere and have become an army that exists in name only.
Yue Fei, a person who served the country loyally, and the Yue family army, did not escape this catastrophe. In the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, traitors were in charge, and there was nowhere for loyalty. This has also become the tragedy of a generation of heroes.
Yue Fei has always been the core force of the Southern Song Dynasty army in the long-term border war. His Yuejia army had never tasted defeat, and each time it successfully repelled the invasion of the Jin soldiers.
Jin Guo developed a deep fear of him and did not dare to attack easily. However, the traitor Qin Hui was jealous of the generals and wanted to seize their power. He began to speak ill of Yue Fei in front of Gaozong, saying that he had a large army in his hands, his prestige was extremely high, and he might have ambitions to usurp the throne in the future.
Gaozong's weak personality, coupled with the provocation of traitorous ministers, began to be wary of Yue Fei. At this time, the Jin people began to invade again, and Yue Fei led his army to successfully repel them and pursued them all the way to the north bank of the Yellow River.
Just as the whole army was preparing to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, Gojong ordered the withdrawal of the army.
This is the ** Qin Hui in secret. He deliberately let Gaozong give the order at a critical moment to destroy Yue Fei's record. Yue Fei fought bloodily for the country for many years, bent on defeating the enemy and bringing peace to the country.
How is it possible to stop at this point? So he repeatedly asked the imperial court to approve his victorious return. Qin Hui immediately disobeyed the holy decree and intended to betray. He even made irresponsible remarks in front of Gaozong, slandering Yue Fei for hiding antipathy and ill intentions.
The weak Gaozong was even more easily deceived by him at this time, and even ordered the arrest of the invincible and heroic general. Yue Fei was escorted back to the court for trial, and Qin Hui had already set up a trap.
He manipulated the villain to perjury through various means, and completely framed this loyal hero. In the end, in the midst of injustice, Yue Fei and his son were killed in the Fengbo Pavilion.
Yue's army, once a heroic and warlike army under Yue Fei, resisted 10,000 people with the strength of thousands of people, showing incomparable combat effectiveness. They fought side by side, living and dying together, and were resilient and unyielding warriors and warriors on the battlefield.
However, as time passed, the glory of the Yue family army gradually faded. When their commander Yue Fei died of calculation, the Yue family army was as if it had lost its soul, and it no longer had its former glory.
Some of them continued to fight with their generals, while others were forced to return to their hometowns and never return to the battlefield.
In the past, the Jin people were afraid of the might of the Yue family's army and the loss of their lives. Today, Yue Shuai has been sleeping in the loess, and the Jin people are helpless. The Yue family's army, which was once invincible in the world, was disbanded at the hands of traitors, which is heartbreaking.
What is even more regrettable is that after Yue Fei's death, most of the forbidden troops in the southeast were dismissed, which made many loyal generals and soldiers have nowhere to live, and the Southern Song Dynasty court no longer has a place for them.
Yue Fei's best friends, such as Zhang Xian, were also forced to quit the army and spend the rest of their lives in frustration and indignation.
Although Yue Fei was once wronged, his heroic and fearless spirit of serving the country loyally will forever be recorded in history and has been praised and praised from generation to generation. Whenever our country or nation encounters difficulties and challenges, we will think of this loyal fighter who never gave up.
Today's China has gone through countless trials and tribulations. And heroes like Yue Fei who regard death as home and are not afraid of strong enemies are the source of power for our nation to strive for self-improvement and glory.
With them, the Chinese nation can always find vitality in desperate situations and regain its life on the brink of life and death. We need loyalty, but we also need wisdom; We need bravery, and we need charity.
Yue Fei will always be the representative of these beautiful qualities, and the story of him and Yue Jiajun will always be passed down and inspire every Chinese son.
