Guazhou Town, also known as Guabuzhou, in the south of Hanjiang County, Jiangsu Province, the Grand Canal enters the Yangtze River, about 50 miles away from Yangzhou, it is the traffic point of the Yangtze River from north to south water transportation, and it is a famous ancient ferry.

On the third day of the second lunar month, the sun was shining, and the road from Yangzhou to Guazhou Town was full of refugees, and there were more than 100,000 people gathered at the ferry, including women and infants, women and the elderly and weak lower bodies soaked in the water, and actually walked towards several ferries in the water, while the vast majority of male and female refugees were crying and crying on the shore. Because the canal has not risen recently, the water level has dropped, and the boats in the canal cannot enter the Yangtze River, so they can only rely on a few small private boats to ferry, and the situation is particularly tense.

In the evening of the same day, the vanguard of the Jin soldiers 500 cavalry entered Yangzhou, wantonly burned and plundered, set fire to the star picking tower, the next day the Jin soldiers chased to the Guazhou ferry, at this time there were still 15 to 200,000 refugees who did not cross the river, as soon as they saw the Jin soldiers rushing to arrive, tens of thousands of people fled and fell into the river and died, the river was full of dead bodies, the refugees on the bank were killed by the Jin soldiers in a bloody mess, miserable, the girls were driven back to the city, and were cruelly treated by the Jin soldiers.

From the riverbank to the area of Guazhou Town, corpses are everywhere, bloodstained and miserable. At the Guazhou Ferry, there are discarded gold silk pearls and jades everywhere, which are picked up by the Jin soldiers and the puppet army from North China, and the official cases and court rituals are piled up. In this war, the dog face of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family was lost.

On this day, 4,500 follow-up men and horses of the Jin soldiers entered Yangzhou from Tianchang one after another, and there was a great loot and massacre in the city of Yangzhou, and the women and jade silks in the city were robbed and emptied, and the palace maids and court officials and relatives of the Southern Song Dynasty who did not escape were all taken captive. After the Jin soldiers were abducted in Yangzhou for half a month, they went north with beautiful women and jade silks, and when they withdrew from Yangzhou, they set fire to the city, and all the buildings in the city were burned down.

The Jin armored cavalry unit that invaded Yangzhou was less than 5,000 soldiers, and after a few months of fighting, although it encountered some weak Song troops, it had actually become the end of the strong crossbow and could be defeated, but the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty and the weak character of the Han people in that era were the main culprits of this tragedy.

When killing the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei and patriotic literati Chen Dong, Ouyang Che and others, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was fierce enough, and in front of the subjects of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou also had enough imperial tyranny and domineering, but when it came to the enemy Jin Ren, who killed his father, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou showed an incredible servility.

As for the arrogance of the Jin people, they destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, invaded the territory of the Song Dynasty, slaughtered the subjects of the Song Dynasty, killed the father and brother of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, and forcibly hugged Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's mother and sister and Song Gaozong's wife and daughter.

More than ten years after Yue Fei was killed, Wan Yan Liang, the king of Hailing of the Jin Kingdom, deliberately swallowed the Southern Song Dynasty, and deliberately ordered his envoy Wang Quan to scold Song Gaozong Zhao Gou in front of him when he sent an envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

After hearing the vicious invincing of the envoy of the Jin State, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou not only did not get angry, but also hid behind the screen pitifully and cried. Afterwards, Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, even ordered the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty to hold a banquet as usual, treat the envoys of the Jin State with courtesy, and continued to send envoys to the Jin State to reconcile, still trying to beg for peace without the slightest hope.

In order to cover up the emperor's shame, the history books of the Southern Song Dynasty did not mention the specific circumstances of the Jin envoy's insult to Song Gaozong. People are really surprised by Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's forbearance mentality, if he is a slightly bloody person, is it tolerable or unbearable, he must have slaughtered this golden envoy who insulted him first.

Jin Wushu waved his army south, and Gaozong Zhao Gou had no way to escape, so he had to escape into the sea and drifted along the coast of Wenzhou for four months. Due to the humid weather in the south, the crisscrossing of the rivers, and the heroic resistance of the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin commander Wanyan Wushu decided to withdraw his troops to the north. When retreating north to Zhenjiang, Han Shizhong was cut off by the Song Dynasty, and as a result, he was forced into Huangtiandang, and the Jin soldiers repeatedly broke through the siege, all of which failed.

Later, because of the guidance of the traitors, Jin Wushu heard that there was an old Guan River that could lead to the Qinhuai River, so he sent an army to dig a ditch for 30 miles in one night, dug a river, and from the canal out of the river, through the Qinhuai River into the Yangtze River in the west of Jiankang City, and was able to escape to Jiankang. However, the road was still held by Han Shizhong's sailors, and the Jin army was not allowed to cross the river.

There is also a Fujian man Wang to the Jin Wushu advice, the boat carries soil, the flat plate is laid, the ship board is dismantled as an oar, waiting for the wind to attack, Han Shizhong's army was defeated, returned to Zhenjiang, and the Jin Wushu was able to cross the river and return to the north. This is the famous battle of Zhenjiang, also known as the battle of Huangtiandang, the Song army besieged 100,000 Jin soldiers with a force of 8,000 people, the two sides held each other for 48 days, and finally the Jin army attacked with fire, and the Song army ships were burned to open the gap, and returned to the north in embarrassment.

The Jin army was defeated by Yue Fei in Jiankang, and never dared to cross the river again, and among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the most famous was Yue Fei, who seized the land controlled by the puppet Qi supported by the Jin State through the Northern Expedition. However, because Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was bent on peace, he contradicted Yue Fei's intention of the Northern Expedition, which laid the groundwork for Yue Fei to be killed later.

Yue Fei was born in Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province, as a famous general in Chinese history, his spirit of loyalty to the country is deeply admired by the Chinese people of all ethnic groups. Yue Fei's family was very poor when he was a child, and his mother taught him to write on the sand with tree branches, and encouraged him to exercise well. Yue Fei is diligent and studious, not only knowledgeable, but also has a good martial arts, and has become a talent with both civil and military skills.

At that time, the Jin soldiers in the north often attacked the Central Plains, and the mother encouraged her son to serve the country, and tattooed the four characters "Jing Zhong to serve the country" on his back. The filial piety of Yue Fei did not dare to forget his mother's teachings, those four words became Yue Fei's lifelong creed, every time he fought, Yue Fei would think of the four big words of loyalty to the country, because he was brave and good at fighting, he won many battles, made a lot of contributions, and his reputation also spread all over the country.

Yue Fei also established a well-disciplined and heroic anti-Jin army, the Yuejia army, whose soldiers strictly observed discipline and would rather endure hunger themselves than disturb the people; if they stayed in private houses or shops at night, they would get up at dawn to clean up for their masters and wash the dishes before leaving.

The morale of the Yue family army made the Jin army frightened, and the commander of the Jin soldiers, Jin Wushu, sighed: "It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army." ”

In a battle between the Yuejia army and the Jin army, when the Yuejia army chased only forty-five miles away from the Jin soldiers' base camp, and was about to be completed and regain the country, the emperor Zhao Gou was afraid that after Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers, he would take back the original emperor, and his throne would not be kept, so he and the traitor Qin Hui issued twelve gold medals in a row and ordered Yue Fei to retreat. Qin Hui also falsely accused Yue Fei of rebellion, put him in prison, and poisoned Yue Fei to death on trumped-up charges.

Yue Fei was only thirty-nine years old when he died, and he remembered his mother's teachings all his life, and even at the moment of death, he did not forget his mother's words of loyalty and service to the country. Yue Fei resolutely opposed the negotiation of peace, advocated the war of resistance to the end, put his personal honor and disgrace at risk, and resolutely fought against the surrender activities of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui.

When Yue Fei heard that the Song-Jin peace agreement was about to be reached in Ezhou, he immediately wrote to express his opposition, saying: "The Jin people cannot be trusted, and reconciliation cannot be trusted." ”

Yue Fei directly criticized the surrender activities of Qin Hui of Xiangguo for his plans and bad intentions, and after the peace agreement was reached, Gaozong Zhao Gou got carried away and issued an amnesty edict to reward the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. However, the edict was issued three times, and Yue Fei rejected it, and he was not subject to the knightly reward of the three divisions of the Kaifu Yi and the 3,500 households.

In his thanks, he bitterly expressed his opposition to peace: "Today's events can be dangerous but not safe, and worrying but not congratulating. ”

Yue Fei once again expressed his determination to recover the Central Plains: "I am willing to plan for a complete victory, expect to recover the land in Lianghe, and return to Yanyun with my fingertips, and finally want to take revenge and repay the country." ”

This is tantamount to pouring cold water on Song Gaozong's head, which makes Zhao Gou and Qin Hui hold grudges. However, regardless of his personal gains and losses, Yue Fei adhered to the position of resisting the war to the end, led the army, contacted the Northern Righteous Army, and effectively engaged in the anti-Jin war, planning to recover the Central Plains and unify the motherland, and became a powerful pillar in the national anti-Jin national war.

After Yue's army entered the Central Plains, it was warmly welcomed by the people of the Central Plains and the loyal militia. In July of this year, Yue Fei personally led a light cavalry to garrison Yuncheng, Henan, and had a fierce battle with 15,000 elite cavalry of Jin Wuxuan. Yue Fei personally led the generals to attack the enemy formation, breaking the Jin army's Tiefutu and kidnapping horses, and defeating the Jin Wuxuan.

Yue Fei's general, Yang Zaixing, broke into the enemy formation on a single horse, trying to capture Jin Wuxuan alive, but unfortunately he didn't find it, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers with his hands, and being wounded in dozens of places, extremely brave. The officers and men of the Yuejia army have a fighting style of defending to the death, and the enemy cannot shake the Yuejia army lineup with overwhelming force.

After the victory in Yuncheng, Yue Fei took advantage of the victory to march to Zhuxian Town, and Jin Wuxuan led an army of 100,000 to resist, but was defeated by Yue Fei. Yue Fei's northern expedition to the Central Plains this time, recovered Yingchang, Caizhou, Chenzhou, Zhengzhou, Yuncheng, Zhuxian Town, and eliminated the living forces of the Jin army.

The Southern Song Dynasty's anti-Jin struggle took a fundamental turn for the better, and if it took another step forward, the Central Plains, which had been under siege for more than 10 years, could be expected to be recovered. Yue Fei excitedly said to the generals: "Arrive at the Huanglong Mansion and drink with the monarchs." And the Jin army issued a lament that shook the mountain and shook the Yue family's army.

The Yuejia army, which was difficult to shake by foreign enemies, was destroyed by the surrender faction within the Southern Song Dynasty. At this moment of the glorious victory of the Anti-Jin War, Gaozong Zhao Gou, who was willing to act as the emperor, was worried that once the Central Plains were recovered and the Jin people returned to his brother Qinzong, he would not be able to keep the throne, and he was eager to negotiate peace with Jin.

The Jin people planted Qin Hui, a traitor who stole the prime minister's high position in the Southern Song Dynasty court, seized Gaozong's unspeakable heart disease and carried out large-scale activities to sabotage Yue Fei's War of Resistance. They acted in cahoots and plotted a criminal plan to withdraw troops on all fronts and bury the excellent situation of the anti-Kim resistance. They first ordered the eastern and western fronts to collect troops, causing the unfavorable situation of Yue's army's lone army standing out; that is, in the name that the lone army could not stay for a long time, they ordered Yue Fei to set up a division in a row with twelve gold medals.

Under the unfavorable situation of the two choices of the class teacher and the mourning teacher, Yue Fei knew that this was the chaotic life of the minister, but in order to preserve the strength of the anti-gold force, he had to endure the pain of the class teacher. Yue Fei said indignantly: "Ten years of exploits were destroyed in one fell swoop, and the restored homeland was all abandoned in one day. It is difficult to prosper, and there is no way to recover from the world. Yue Fei's heroic struggle against gold was forced to be interrupted.

When the Yue family was in the army, he longed for the father and brother of the king in the north of the Central Plains, and stopped crying. In order to protect the lives and property of the common people, Yue Fei deliberately threatened to cross the river tomorrow, which frightened Jin Wuxuan into abandoning the city overnight and preparing to cross the Yellow River north, so that Yue Fei could calmly organize a large number of people in Henan to move south to the Xianghan area before evacuating back to the Central Plains.
