Chapter 314: Worship the general
Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begged to buy and died, and Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta's grandson Wanyan Yan succeeded to the throne, he was Jin Xizong, and Jin Wushu began to enter the center. At this time, Wanyan Chang and Wanyan Zongpan were in power, and the two strongly advocated peace, forcing the Southern Song Dynasty to negotiate peace on the condition that the land of Shaanxi and Henan should be returned to the Song Dynasty, and sent the envoy Zhang Tonggu to the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the second year, Song Gaozong sent Han Xiaoxuan, a scholar of Duanming Palace, to express his gratitude, and sent envoys Wang Lun and other envoys to the Jin State to demand the return of Song Huizong's Zigong and his mother Wei and brothers. In the ninth year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong and Qin Hui negotiated peace with Jin, and the Southern Song Dynasty paid tribute to Jin.
Wan Yan Chang and Zong Pan's behavior was opposed by many people, and Jin Wushu realized that Wan Yan Chang had accepted bribes from the Southern Song Dynasty, so he decided to return Henan and Shaanxi to the Southern Song Dynasty on the condition that he would kill Wan Yan Chang and restore the previous territory. So Jin Xizong killed Zongpan and Zong Jun for the crime of treason, relieved Yan Chang of his military power, worshiped Jin Wushu as the marshal of the capital, and crowned the king of Yue.
Wan Yanchang wanted to run from Yanjing to the Southern Song Dynasty, but Jin Wushu sent pursuers to chase and kill Wan Yanchang on the way. After Yan Chang was killed, Jin Wuzhen was named the crown prince Taibao, led the Taishangshu Province, and was also the marshal of the capital. After Jin Wushu seized power, he asked Jin Xizong to crusade against the Southern Song Dynasty, so Jin Xizong once again launched a war against the Song Dynasty and sent troops to recapture the land of Henan and Shaanxi that had been returned to the Song Dynasty.
The Great War of Song and Jin broke out again, and a month after the war began, the Jin army reoccupied Henan, Shaanxi and other places. Jin Wushu entered Bianjing and attempted to cross the Huai River to the south and continue to attack the Song Dynasty. As a result, he was first defeated by Liu Qi in Shunchang, and then defeated by Yue's army in Yuncheng and Yingchang, and Yue Fei waved his army to the northern expedition until Zhuxian Town near Kaifeng.
Time passes, and the years are merciless. No one can say what Yue Fei looks like, the current image is beautified by later generations, and what the Northeast Jurchens looked like eight hundred years ago is also mottled.
China is a unified multi-ethnic country, with 56 ethnic groups with the Han nationality as the main body, and the Jurchens in the northeast are also a member of history, they have dark and brown skin and high cheekbones, and are an ancient race in East Asia, which is completely different from the Han people.
During the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen nation was a weak nation, successively subjugating to the Song, Liao, and even Goryeo, but it once became the most powerful country in the world at that time, the Jin State, with a vast territory that surpassed the Song Dynasty, which was revered as Zhengshuo at that time. The Jin State arose in the north of the Liao State, and the Jin army destroyed the Liao State with the momentum of destroying the Liao State, and then destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty after destroying the Liao. In terms of military affairs, the military and civilian integration of the Meng'an Moke system was implemented, and its iron cavalry and firearms were elite, and many powerful countries were defeated successively.
Qin Shi Huang in this life he incarnated as a golden vulture, he is good at riding and shooting, tired officials and teachers, marshals, leading Taishang scholars, and repeatedly invaded the Song Dynasty. In the third year of Jianyan, the Jin general Jin Wuxuan led the Jin army to invade the south again, and was defeated by Han Shizhong, 100,000 Jin soldiers were trapped in the yellow sky for 48 days, and the Song army treacherously informed, and finally escaped.
The following year, Yue Fei set up an ambush in Niutou Mountain and broke the golden vultures. In the ninth year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong and Qin Hui negotiated peace with Jin, and the Southern Song Dynasty paid tribute to Jin. In the tenth year of Shaoxing, Jin Wushu tore up the peace treaty and invaded the south again. Yue Fei was ordered to send troops to counterattack, successively recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places, and took advantage of the victory to occupy Zhuxian Town, and Jin Wuxuan was forced to retreat to Kaifeng.
Since Yue Fei is portrayed as a loyal and patriotic national hero, then Jin Wuxuan has naturally become a blue-faced and fanged and hideous character in people's minds.
As Yue Fei's mortal enemy, Jin Wushu was not completely portrayed as a demon who killed people without blinking, but repeatedly described him as not hurting the people, not allowing the people to take a single grass and tree, and catch the political leaders of the Song Dynasty. First of all, I asked if this person was a loyal minister or a traitor? He greatly appreciated Lu Deng, Li Ruoshui, and other loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty. The historical role played by the Jin Wushu in unifying the north and promoting the transformation of the Jurchen people into a feudal society cannot be ignored.
The image of the Jin army is described as an iron helmet, rippling dark clouds, camel skin armor, and scales. The appearance is strange, like a black lion shaking its head, and the body is majestic, like a ruthless tail swing. The twin hammers danced, mistaking Li Yuanba for rebirth, and the horse roared, but appeared like a black unicorn. The fox tail on the chest, the pheasant feather fluttering behind the head, and a big flag behind the back, hulala in the cold wind.
The people of the Jin Dynasty are all fierce, the father and son of the Yan family, the father and son of the Yan family, on behalf of the battle as a thing, every soldier must bow as a stone, for the soldiers first, so they can fight the crowd with less, more than ten years, destroy the Liao and take the Song, rampant and invincible. The strong and brave national character is most prominent in the performance of Jin Wuxuan, he is arrogant, courageous, good at shooting, drunk in battle, in and out of the battle, the people are afraid of him.
Once, Jin Wushu led his men and horses to chase the Liao army, and when the bow and arrow were exhausted, he snatched the swords and guns of the Liao soldiers with his bare hands, and then killed eight people alone, and captured five people, thus earning himself the reputation of being brave and brave. Perhaps it is precisely because of Jin Wushu's courage and good fighting and the many wars against the Song Dynasty led by him that he left a warlike notoriety in the minds of the Song people.
In the war against the Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu played a decisive role, without his heroic and good fighting, taking the lead, the Jurchen Jin State could not have continuously defeated the Zhao and Song dynasties, which were the most culturally developed and economically prosperous in the world at that time, and the Jin Wushu expanded the living space for the Jurchen nation, and also brought a profound demographic disaster, and indirectly created Yue Fei, a national hero in the history of the Han Chinese nation.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin State broke the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianjing, captured the second emperor of Huiqin, and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. In the same year, King Kang Zhao Gouji was located in Nanjing, changed to Yuan Jianyan, and was known as the Southern Song Dynasty in history. At that time, the Jin State was on the strategic offensive, while the Southern Song Dynasty was on the defensive. The Jin State repeatedly invaded the south and fought frequently, which provided a stage for outstanding generals such as Jin Wushu and Yue Fei to show their ambitions.
In October, he led his army straight to Jiangsu and Zhejiang; in November, he broke the Song army in Hezhou, forcibly crossed the Yangtze River, and approached the city of Jiankang, and Zhao Gou fled to Hangzhou; in close pursuit, he went down to Guangde, Anji, and other places, bravely braved the dangerous Dusong Ridge, and in December, he conquered Hangzhou, and Zhao Gou fled to Yuezhou.
Jin Wushu garrisoned Hangzhou, did not give Zhao Gou a chance to breathe, ordered the vanguard Ali, Pu Luhun to lead four thousand light cavalry to pursue, the soldiers had not heard of Zhao Gou fled to Mingzhou, the Jin soldiers happened to cross the Cao'e River to defeat the Song general Zhang Jun, conquered Mingzhou, Zhao Gou fled to the sea by boat, the Jin soldiers into the sea and chased more than 300 miles, because the Jin soldiers were not used to water warfare, they could not chase him and returned.
This time, Jin Wushu led the troops to chase Zhao Gou, crossed the rivers, crossed the sky, broke the pass, smashed the city, searched the mountains and rivers, and entered the sea, all invincible, invincible. The short time, the length of the battle line, and the breadth of the area are all unexpected, and the Jin people call it a search for mountains and seas to catch Zhao Gou. This battle greatly boosted the government and opposition of the Jin State and made the Jin Vulture famous.
On the way back to the north, Jin Wushu was stubbornly blocked by the famous generals Han Shizhong and Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the 100,000 army was trapped in Huangtiandang for 48 days before he could get out. After Jin Wuxuan returned to Jin Shangjing, he still had lingering palpitations and said: "The southerners make the boats, just like we the northerners make the horses, so good." "The lord and faction led by Da Lazy in the Jin State took advantage of the dictatorship when Jin Xizong first succeeded to the throne, and the lands of Henan and Shaanxi were returned to the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace.
The Great Jin Kingdom began to implement a strategic transfer, expanding the territory of Sichuan, and the Jin Wushu, who had returned to the army from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and moved to Shaanxi with Wanyan Zongfu. In September, Zongfu marched into Luoshui, with Wanyan Lou Room and Jin Wushu as the left and right wing superintendents, and attacked together, opening the prelude to the Battle of Fuping. At that time, Zhang Jun, the commander of the Song Dynasty, also took Liu Xi as his commander, and gathered more than 400,000 troops several times that of Jin led by Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Wu Jue and other generals, and launched a decisive battle with the Jin army in Fuping with layers of encirclement.
In this battle, the famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe, Wu Jue and Qin Fenglu made Sun Wu to Xihe Road and Liu Xi as the capital to control 180,000 horse infantry, known as 400,000 troops, and the five roads gathered in Fuping, and Zhang Jun sat in Pizhou to supervise the battle. In the battle, the Song army took the Jin army under the command of the Jin vultures as the focus of the attack, and the offensive was fierce, and the Jin vulture army was surrounded by heavy surrounds, fighting from noon to dusk, fighting without retreating, pinning down the main force of the Song army, and winning time to turn the tide of the war.
The Jin general Chi Zhanhui's entire army was annihilated, and the general Han Chang was shot and wounded in one eye, and he fought to the death without retreating. At this time, the Jin general Wanyan Lou Room found the weak point of the Song army, the Song army led by Zhao Zhe, so he attacked the Zhao army with all the elite cavalry led by him, the Zhao army collapsed at the first touch, Lou Room and Jin Wushu combined forces to cover up and kill, and the morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, resulting in the collapse of the 180,000 army of the Southern Song Dynasty in an instant. The Jin army took advantage of the victory to pursue, won more with less, and won the battle of Fuping.
In the Battle of Fuping, on the one hand, due to Zhang Jun's self-reliance on his strength, his misjudgment, and the failure to take advantage of the enemy's weakness and our strength, and the enemy's mistakes in dividing into two routes, he decisively launched an attack and delayed the fighters, on the other hand, because of the fierce courage of Jin Wuxuan, he pinned down the enemy's main force, and finally ended with a great victory for the Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty lost most of the area of the Shaanxi Fifth Road.
Jin Wushu led his troops into Sichuan and fought against the famous Southern Song generals Wu Jue and Wu Luan who were defeated in the Battle of Fuping in the Monk Yuan. In this battle, Jin Wushu was defeated and returned, and Jin Wushu was spared and even shaved his beard. In this battle, Jin Wushu lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and he was wounded by arrows, which was the first major defeat of the Jin army in the battle between Jin and Song. In the winter of the eleventh year of Tianhui, Jin Wushu led his troops to raid and took the monk in one fell swoop.
After the Battle of Monk Yuan, Jin Wushu took the Immortal Pass again, and met the prepared division of the Wu brothers again halfway, and fought a great defeat in the style of Monk Yuan, but he had no choice but to retreat to Qinzhong. Seeing that the Wu brothers were good at fighting, Jin Wushu stopped fighting with them and focused on outwitting.
Jin Wushu sent a letter to Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong: "I hope that the Song Dynasty will send someone to let the Wu brothers withdraw from the army, this is probably what we are most concerned about." ”
And before this paragraph, he specially wrote all the Huaishang army, so that the solstice Dao class returned. Gaozong was frightened and warned the Wu brothers not to offend Jin Wushu again, so Jin Wushu won without a fight and crossed the Sichuan.
In the fifteenth year of Tianhui, Jin Wushu was the right deputy marshal and was crowned King Shen. In the first year of the Emperor's reign, he opposed the agreement between Wan Yanchang, the deputy marshal of the left, and Song to return Shaanxi and Henan. In the following year, Jin Wushu served as the marshal of the capital, and Jin was crowned the king of Yue and Taibao, and killed Yan Chang in Qizhou. In the first year of the emperor's reign, he led the army to cross the Huai River and coerced the Song court to sign a peace treaty that yielded to Jin.
Jin Wushu was a highly decorated king, as well as an extremely rare military commander and an important ruler. On the battlefield, he took the lead, used his soldiers quickly, and surpassed others, repeatedly defeated the famous generals of the Song Dynasty, Zong Ze and Han Shizhong, pacified the Central Plains, pursued the Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Gou, forced the Song Dynasty to become a minister, and established the Jin Dynasty's unshakable superpower status. When the founding fathers of the DPRK and China were either dead or rebellious, and the political situation was unstable, he single-handedly supported the crisis and enabled the dynasty to successfully overcome the difficulties.
The Jurchen nation began in the Song Dynasty, was originally a weak nation, successively surrendered to the Song, Liao, and even surrendered to Goryeo, fortunately Wanyan Agu rose up in the white mountains and black waters, conquered Liao, Goryeo, and made the Jurchen become the most powerful country in the world at that time, and the territory was wide, surpassing the Song Dynasty that was respected as Zhengshuo at that time.
In the battle to conquer the Khitan, Jin Wushu made great contributions, in the war against the Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu played a decisive role, without his heroic and good fighting, leading the soldiers, the Jurchen Jin regime could not have continuously defeated the Zhao and Song dynasties, which were the most culturally developed and economically prosperous in the world at that time, and the Jin Wushu expanded the living space and improved the living environment for the Jurchen nation, and was an out-and-out national hero of the Jurchen nation.
Yue Fei is the hero of the Chinese nation, there is no doubt about it, whether it was the Jurchens who were Yue Fei's opponents at that time, or the Mongols who later became the ruler of the Central Plains, their evaluation of Yue Fei did not waver in the slightest. However, the key point of Jin Wuxuan's evaluation is that the relationship between Song and Jin is ignored.
At that time, both the Khitan and the Jurchen recognized the orthodox status of the Song, so the Zhao and Song dynasties were the orthodoxy of China at that time, and the relationship between the Jurchens, the Khitan and the Song Dynasty was nothing but the relationship between Shu, Wu and Wei. In the history of mankind, there have been periods in which different regimes have existed within a country, and China is not the only one. The war between the Song and Jin dynasties was a fraternal struggle of the Chinese nation.
Yue Fei is a national hero, and Jin Wushu is naturally also a national hero, there is no need for national unity, the unity of the big family of the Chinese nation is already unbreakable. And denying Yue Fei's status as a national hero, we cannot be in a narrow and backward view of history and believe that Jin Wuyu is the aggressor.
