Yue Fei's descendants do not intermarry, and they have a deep hatred. Love and hatred are intertwined, and family grievances are inherited
As we all know, in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers entered the customs, the Central Plains fell, the Chinese nation fell into chaos, and the country was in danger.
In the troubled times, the heavy responsibility naturally falls on the shoulders of the generals. Among this group of patriotic generals, Yue Fei's behavior is the most worrying. Yue Fei put his life and death out of the way, and the building was about to fall, but it was difficult to escape the conspiracy of the treacherous and the guest died in a foreign land, which is really regrettable.
Yue Fei resisted the Jin and recovered the six counties of Xiangyang, ending the legend of the Jin soldiers, leaving behind a legacy that still inspires the sons and daughters of China"Full of red rivers"。But his story is much more than that. Today, let's take a look at the magnificent life of this national hero.
i.Hot-blooded Yue Fei: Swore to go on a northern expedition with the golden thief.
Yue Fei is originally from Anyang, Henan. He has been passionate about martial arts since he was a child and has a unique understanding of the art of war. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he devoted his pen to Rong, hoping to serve the country.
In 1126, the Northern Song Dynasty fell, and the Jin soldiers went south, Yue Fei was anxious and asked Song Gaozong to go north. However, Song Gaozong only wanted to go south peacefully and had no intention of recovering the Central Plains, so Yue Fei's request was denied.
This made the sentimental Yue Fei unexpected. He was so depressed that he even wrote a letter to his wife:"If you want to get the Tartars in a comprehensive way, you can't save it unless you go on the Northern Expedition. "It seems that in Yue Fei's heart, recovering the Central Plains has become a big problem.
In 1130, shortly after Zhao Gou's accession to the throne, Yue Fei again asked for battle, but there was still no trace.
There are all kinds of indications that the weak faction inside and outside the court has no intention of saving the Central Plains at all. Yue Fei saw it in his eyes and worried in his heart, but he was helpless.
In 1134, Yue Fei was appointed as the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion (present-day Hebei Daimyo) and the envoy of the Northern Road Jiedu on the recommendation of Zhang Jun, which gave him the opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition.
In the first month of 1137, Yue Fei swore an oath to the Northern Expedition in the Daimyo's Mansion, and his morale was high. Under the inspiration of Yue Fei, the people of the Daimyo Mansion began to donate money and food to support the army.
At this moment, Yue Fei's blood ignited the morale of the army and ignited the determination to unite the people. He realized that there was a long way to go to liberate the Central Plains, and only by working together could we drive out the gold thieves and recover the Central Plains.
Second, Yue Fei was fooled: the six counties of Xiangyang won successive battles.
In the spring of 1137, Yue's army went on a northern expedition. In the following years, Yue Fei commanded the troops in a good way and made many miraculous achievements. He succeeded in recovering the lost territories of Yunzhou, Chenzhou, Caozhou, Shaanxi, and Xiangyang.
In the first month of 1141, Yue Fei's generals were demoralized after capturing Tangzhou and demanded to go north to Kaifeng. Yue Fei saw an opportunity, so he asked the Song court for a northern expedition.
At the same time, Qin Hui and other stupid and cowardly *** secretly reached an agreement with the Jin State and insisted on peace. In the end, Yue Fei's request was denied, and he had to withdraw his troops and station his troops in Xiangyang.
However, in the past few years, the Northern Expeditionary Army led the Yuejia Army to recover the six counties of Xiangyang except Kaifeng. This was very important to resist the Jin invasion and recover the Central Plains.
During the war years, Yue Fei was able to win successive battles and recover large areas of lost territory, reflecting his military talent. He was able to share the ups and downs of the soldiers, and the soldiers loved him because he was not only strict and strong, but also amiable and approachable.
Yue Fei's way of using troops is not comparable to Han Xin, the king of Chu, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. With a wise and warlike commander like Yue Fei, the Song Dynasty won many battles in the Northern Expedition, and its morale was greatly boosted.
3. Yue Fei's death: a conspiracy in his hometown.
But the good times didn't last long. Just when the Yue family's army recaptured Xiangyang and morale was high, Qin Hui made a deal with Jin Guo in an attempt to kill Yue Fei.
In the first month of 1141, Qin Hui suddenly received a letter from Yan Zongbi of the Jin Kingdom, promising to spend a lot of money to get rid of Yue Fei, who was very harmful to him. Qin Hui was greedy for money and disregarded the integrity of the country and the nation, and accepted this request.
As a result, Qin Hui was slandered by Gaozong, and Yue Fei said that he was"Accept its will, and the heart is against the court"。Gaozong was already mediocre, but he fell into Qin Hui's trap.
Finally, at the instigation of Qin Hui, Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to be executed, and on the 27th day of the first month of 1141, Qin Hui was poisoned in prison and killed Yue Fei. Yue Fei died in his hometown at the age of 45.
A few days later, Qin Hui signed the disgraceful Shaoxing Peace Agreement with the Jin State. Exchanging land for peace, and exchanging the blood and tears of the people for the stability of the imperial court, this is undoubtedly the most cowardly and incompetent decision made by Qin Hui and other traitorous ministers before the war of aggression against Jin.
Although Yue Fei died, his blood and backbone still inspired the anti-Jin struggle of the Southern Song Dynasty military and civilians. It can be said that without Yue Fei's Northern Expedition, the Southern Song Dynasty would not have benefited even if it negotiated peace with Jin.
It is really regrettable that the traitor killed Yue Fei, who was loyal to the country. However, history is just, and God is fair, because future generations will always remember the hero's loyalty.
iv.Yue Lin Family: Heavenly Punishment.
In the first month of 1141, Yue Fei's youngest son, Yue Lin, was at home when the news suddenly came that Yue's family had been beheaded. Under the protection of his mother and servants, Xiao Yuelin escaped the pursuit of the Jin soldiers.
Yue Lin hurriedly fled, she did not forget her mother's advice: if you want to survive, you must find her father's friend Gong Zuwen and meet him. So, Yue Lin escaped and began her long journey.
In the meantime, outside the siege of the Jin soldiers, Yue Lin did not dare to take the main road, but passed a small road day and night to get to Gong Zuwen's house. Along the way, she evaded the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, and encountered the robbing bandits, which was very dangerous.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, Yue Lin came to Gong Zuwen's house in rags and bruises. When Gong Zuwen heard about the suffering of the Yue family, he cried bitterly, and immediately agreed to accept Yue Lin, change her name and surname, and raise her.
Fortunately, Yue Lin escaped the catastrophe of the Gong family. He regarded his benefactor as a father and devoted himself to the new family that took him in. He grew into a manly man in the Gong family and began to prepare for the day when he would be forgiven.
In the first year of Baoqing (1225), after 84 years of waiting for several generations, the Southern Song Dynasty court finally acquitted Yue Fei and posthumously presented it"Wuyizhong, righteousness, Sheng Shunde, Chongwen, Xianwu, Dakuangfu, Chongli, Fengren, Xianning, Xuanli, Dingyuan, Quanjie, Zhongwu Taishi", nickname"Chungwu"。
Yue Lin, accompanied by Gong Zuwen, entered the palace to thank him. He was very grateful to Gong Zuwen for his kindness and proposed to the imperial court to become brothers with the Gong family. Yue Lin said:"May our two families live in harmony for generations to come and be brothers forever. "Since then, the two families have lived in harmony and have not married for generations.
Yue Lin finally honored his father Yue Fei and repaid his life-saving benefactor Gong Zuwen. She practiced Confucianism with her actions"Loyalty and filial piety"The virtues are commendable.
Although Yue Fei has been dead for decades, his spirit is immortal. It can be said that it is precisely because of national heroes like Yue Fei that the Chinese nation did not perish under the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers, and that Chinese civilization can continue and develop in turbulent times.
Yue Fei's blood ignited our fighting spirit, and Yue Fei's benevolence and courage let us know how to serve the country loyally. Even if we are ambitious, we must take Yue Fei as an example and repay the motherland!
