Chapter 302: Man Jianghong
Angry hair rushed to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info raised his eyes, looked up to the sky and roared, fierce and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad. Jing Kang is ashamed, but it is still snowing; when will the courtiers be hated? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.
I was so angry that my hair stood on end, and I climbed up alone and looked out over the railing, and the sudden wind and rain had just stopped. Looking up at the sky, I can't help but look up to the sky and howl, full of heart to serve the country. Although some fame has been established over the past 30 years, it is as insignificant as dust, and the north and south have been fighting for 8,000 miles, and how many ups and downs have been passed through life.
Good men should seize the time to make contributions to the country, and do not waste their youth blankly, and only when they are old will they be sad in vain. The shame of the Jingkang Revolution has not been washed away so far, when will the resentment of being a national courtier be extinguished?
I will drive a chariot to attack Helan Mountain, and even Helan Mountain will be flattened. I am full of ambition, and when I am hungry in battle, I will eat the flesh of the enemy, and when I am thirsty, I will drink the blood of the enemy. When I regain the old mountains and rivers, I will report the news of victory to the country with good news.
came to the era of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xu Fu was named Yue Fei, and at this time he was like a beautiful little poem, simple and tactful. Practicing martial arts in the morning and reading in the evening, his extraordinary diligence and heavenly posture make him like a bath in the glow and dazzling.
Such a handsome and extraordinary man will naturally attract the hearts of the girls. The girls often passed by in front of his house, attracted by his sword-dancing figure, and couldn't help but stop and watch. Such days gradually increased, and Yue Fei sometimes knew that someone was watching, but he pretended not to know, but he just danced the sword more variously.
Although the days are poor, they are full of joy, and laughter blooms in every corner. The stability of the present world, the years are quiet, if it weren't for the invasion of the golden soldiers, the iron hooves of Zheng Zheng smashed the quiet lake, maybe Yue Fei would have lived a stable life here. But fate gave him another arrangement, how could a hot-blooded man, both civil and military, let the Jin soldiers rage and be in a corner?
Yue Fei is frugal, honest and honest, and does not approach beautiful women, he said: "Wenchen does not love money, and military generals do not hesitate to die." ”
The Song Dynasty was economically prosperous and culturally prosperous, and people at that time generally pursued material comforts and luxury. Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Wu Jue and other generals of the Southern Song Dynasty all lived a life of poverty and luxury, except for Yue Fei.
Yue Fei was awarded the Qingyuan Army Festival Envoy by the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court because of his outstanding military achievements, and later was crowned as the Envoy of Wusheng and Dingguo Army, and the official residence of the two towns was Envoy, Yue Fei also served in the high positions of Tai Lieutenant, Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, Shaobao, etc., and his income was even more generous. In addition, in order to win over Yue Fei, Song Gaozong often gave heavy rewards.
But contrary to the extravagant fashion that the Song people were accustomed to, Yue Fei always maintained a simple style of life. Yue Fei's usual meals are mostly just a plate of fried pork and a few kinds of noodles, and there are basically no two meat dishes. Even if a banquet was held for the diners and wise men, Yue Fei's family only served ordinary meals.
Once, at a dinner with the officials, the cook slaughtered the chickens sent by the magistrate and served them to the table, Yue Fei couldn't help but be a little strange, so he asked, "Why do you want to kill chickens to eat?"
The cook said, "This was sent by an official from Ezhou. ”
Yue Fei was quite unhappy about this, thinking that killing more lives would inevitably cause waste, Yue Fei instructed the chef not to accept such gifts in the future, and not to kill chickens to eat.
Hao Xi was originally not subordinate to Yue Fei, but was later transferred to Yue's army and became Yue Fei's general. Hao Xi is more particular about eating and drinking, and once, Hao Xi invited his boss Yue Fei to his camp for dinner, and there was a sour stuffing on the table. Yue Fei had never eaten such delicious food before, and he didn't know its name, so he asked Hao Xi temporarily, and then he knew that the food he ate was called sour filling.
In fact, this kind of sour stuffing was sold in food stores in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was a relatively common food at that time. Yue Fei ate one, and then told the people around him to put away the rest and take it home, and said, "Save it for dinner and eat it again, don't eat it all at once." After hearing this, Hao Xi felt very ashamed.
In terms of clothing, Yue Fei is also relatively frugal. When the troops are out, Yue Fei is always wearing military clothes, but when he is at home, he wears ordinary cloth clothes, and he asks his family to do the same. The clothing of the Song Dynasty was still dominated by silk and linen fabrics, and the production of cotton was quite small, and cotton fabrics were regarded as rare. At that time, the so-called cloth refers to linen cloth, the poor people have no ability to wear silk, can only be wrapped in coarse linen, very early, cloth clothes have become synonymous with civilians, Yue Fei only wears linen cloth on weekdays, does not wear silk.
There are very few generals in the Song Dynasty who are not greedy for money, especially the generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, almost all of them are greedy for money, only Yue Fei is an exception. At a time when Yue Fei was at the head of a national disaster and a deep national humiliation, he had a deep pain and gritted hatred for corruption in officialdom and military circles.
Once at a court meeting, Song Gaozong casually sighed: "The world is not peaceful. ”
Yue Fei immediately replied: "Wenchen doesn't love money, Wuchen doesn't spare his life, and the world is naturally peaceful." ”
Yue Fei himself is even more consistent with his words and deeds, always honest and honest, and faithfully fulfills his famous saying that he does not love money and does not spare his life. In a society where corruption is rampant, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between public and private, and not hide a single penny, and Yue Fei has gone one step further, Yue Fei does not buy family property, is willing to give, and often turns private into public and uses his private property to subsidize the military.
Once, Yue Fei ordered all the items in his house, except for the gold artifacts announced by the emperor, to be sold and handed over to military craftsmen to make 2,000 good bows for military use. When Yue Fei's staff Huang Zong saw it, he reminded Yue Fei not to spend money on official business, and Huang Zong said: "These weapons should cost official money." ”
Yue Fei replied lightly: "I want to get a few bows and arrows as soon as possible, so I make them at my own expense." ”
In the Song Dynasty, the officials and gentry, the doctors, the ministers of civil and military affairs, loved money and accumulated wealth, which was particularly significant in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the traitorous minister Qin Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty and the generals Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were typical figures. Among the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, on the merits of war, Zhang Junlang got a false name, on making money, Zhang Jun is second to none, Zhang Jun is famous for his greed for money and wealth, known as occupying land all over the world, and the family has accumulated a huge amount of money. Through the large-scale annexation of land, Zhang Jun occupied more than one million mu of fertile land and collected more than 600,000 stone of rice in rent every year, which was equivalent to more than twice the annual fiscal revenue of Shaoxing Prefecture, the richest in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Through clever grabbing, Zhang Jun also occupied a large number of gardens and mansions, and collected rent alone, as much as 73,000 yuan a year. When Zhang Jun was alive, the silver in the family was piled up, in order to prevent it from being stolen, Zhang Jun ordered someone to cast the silver into a large silver ball of 1,000 taels, called helpless, which means that the thief can't move them, and there is nothing to do with them.
Liu Guangshi was a descendant general of Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, born in a family of generals, but he has always been pampered, afraid of the Jin soldiers, and sat in the rear during the battle, so as to escape if necessary. Liu Guangshi did not govern the army strictly, and most of his subordinates were arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, who could not fight, but they were very fierce in bullying the people and harassing the localities.
Liu Guangshi was greedy for money and profit, often falsely reported the military quota, occupied more military expenses, and also occupied fertile land, competing with the people for profit, and caused huge billions of money by operating land and property, and bought singing and dancing girls. Liu Guangshi occupied a large area of fertile land in Qingtian, Zhejiang, and wantonly plundered the people's fertile land, and the number of people who gave it to Song Gaozong alone amounted to 30,000 mu, but in fact it was by no means more than that.
At that time, greed for money became a trend, and even the famous general Han Shizhong was not exempt from vulgarity. Han Shizhong once asked Song Gaozong to buy a large piece of official land in Xingan County, Linjiang Army, Jiangnan West Road, with 38,000 yuan, and later proposed to buy the Pingjiang Mansion South Park of Zhu Mian, a traitor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and at the same time buy 1,200 acres of official land. Song Gaozong also thought that Han Shizhong was incorruptible, and rewarded him with a large piece of fertile land in the famous Yongfengwei, and Han Shizhong tried his best to be polite, even if it was incorruptible, Han Shizhong's family collected tens of thousands of stone of rent every year.
Liu Guangshi's subordinate general Li Qiong, his official position was about the same as Yue Fei's subordinate general Zhang Xian, and Li Qiong also occupied 4,300 acres of water and land fields in Zhenjiang Prefecture.
Yue Fei's farm houses were far fewer than those of other military generals and civil servants of his time, and Yue Fei purchased small plots of land and residences in Jiangzhou.
Yue Fei is a famous marshal with heavy soldiers, leading soldiers for more than ten years, in a high position, rich in wealth, great military achievements, the court rewards a lot, but the family property is only so little, and then look at the other generals of the Southern Song Dynasty who are the same era as Yue Fei, gold and silver treasures are full of sleep, and the fields and gardens occupy several counties, compared with the two, there is really a world of difference.
In life, it is not easy to pass the three levels of wine, sex, and wealth, but Yue Fei calmly surpassed the three levels. Because he is very enthusiastic about fame, that is, the most divine and holy anti-gold cause in his mind, he is also very indifferent to personal gains and losses. He embroidered the ten words "Swear to be a minister in the middle of the war, and will kill the gold thief" on his battle robe, to show that he will not live with the enemy.
Among the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are few who are not greedy for money, and even fewer are not good beauties. Wu Jue, the general in charge of military affairs in Sichuan and Shaanxi, often sent his subordinates to Chengdu to search for beautiful women for him to enjoy, and he also liked to take Danshi, and the wine was excessive, so that he coughed up blood and died.
Liu Guangshi was born as the son of an official eunuch, he was greedy for pleasure, pampered, drunk, not caring for state affairs, greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of the enemy like a tiger, he has always been afraid of the golden soldiers, and he did not dare to take the lead in battle. But asking for merit and rewards is a scramble, never falling behind.
Han Shizhong not only took many concubines, but also liked to flirt with the wives and daughters of the generals, and when he went to the general's house for a banquet, he often ordered the wives and daughters of the generals to come out to drink, and later forced the generals to commit suicide. In order to snatch a courtesan surnamed Zhou, Zhang Jun and Wang Yuan killed Zhao Shujin of the clan, and then transferred the courtesan to Han Shizhong.
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a courtesan surnamed Zhang in Hangzhou, who was unparalleled in the world of color and art, and was good at poetry and writing, and was favored by Zhang Jun and accepted her as a concubine. Song Jin fought in Huaixi, all the generals went to the front line in person, Zhang Jun couldn't rest assured about the family's business, and wrote to Concubine Zhang to tell him a thousand times.
A few days later, Zhang Jun received a reply letter and opened it to see that the letter was written with allusions to Huo of the Western Han Dynasty and Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms who went out to fight without asking about family affairs, and Concubine Zhang wanted to strengthen her husband's heart to serve the country. The cunning Zhang Jun smiled heartily, one is that Concubine Zhang is capable and the family affairs will be arranged properly, and the other is that this letter is written passionately and generously, which can be used as political capital. Zhang Jun sent this letter to the palace overnight, Song Gaozong really praised it after reading it, issued an edict to praise Zhang Jungong and forget selfishness, and named Zhang Concubine as Mrs. Yongguo, gave tens of millions of money, and Zhang Jun received fame and fortune.
This kind of social atmosphere was very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even more so in the Southern Song Dynasty. Regarding these decadent indulgences in the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei went against the world, and Yue Fei did not indulge in sex. At that time, all the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty had many concubines, but Yue Fei was different, and Yue Fei had no concubines to serve at home.
