Serve one’s country with true allegiance
『Feeling loyal and righteous mother-in-law tattoo ~ hating powerlessness and returning to heaven
Why mention serving the country with loyalty, it is known throughout the ages.
Empty words are said a thousand times, and how many people are sad when blood is spilled on the battlefield?
When the Jin army conquered Taiyuan and Zhending, they sent Yang Tianji and Wang Wei to see Zhao Huan, the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, in the name of asking for guilt, which was really humiliating.
Taiyuan is only 200 miles from Fenzhou, and Mu Han took advantage of the situation to send the general Yin Zhu Xiaojin to Fenzhou, intending to surrender. Zhang Kejian, the governor of Fenzhou, saw that the Jin army was approaching the city, and urgently recruited Han Hu, the general of Benzhou, Ma Shijian, and Jia Kang, the commander of the soldiers and horses, to discuss and resist the enemy with all their might. This Zhang Kejian is Uncle Zhang's cousin, and they are all the great-grandsons of Zhang Qi in the service.
How do you know that Ma Shijian is greedy for life and afraid of death, he escaped from Fenzhou in the middle of the night, Han Hu died in battle, Zhang Kejian gathered soldiers and people shouted: "Taiyuan has fallen, and I know that Fenzhou is difficult to protect." However, righteousness cannot bear to disappoint the country and humiliate the ancestors and ancestors, and is willing to live and die with this city from the beginning to the end. Gentlemen, they are planning for themselves, whether they stay or go, and they are all in charge, and I do not force them. ”
The people and soldiers wept and couldn't look up, they wept bitterly on the ground, and replied in unison: "Zhang Gong, my parents, are also willing to die and obey orders." "Zhang Zhizhou is a strong guard.
Sticky Han led the troops to the city, and Zhang Kejian led the soldiers to climb the army in armor, although he repeatedly defeated the enemy, but the reinforcements could not arrive.
On this day, the capital supervisors Jia Kang and Zhang Zhizhou said: "Pingyao, Jiexiu, and Xiaoyi counties have been broken by the Husha Tiger, and it has recently been heard that Muhan is cutting wood in 20 villages in the south of the state to make siege equipment, and a big war is imminent. ”
Zhang Kejian said: "Life and death are the destiny of heaven, and the people are not afraid, so what am I afraid of." While he was talking, he suddenly reported that the messenger of Sticky Han had arrived.
Jia Yan was furious and said: "I deceive people too much, I will kill them." Then he drew his sword in his hand.
Zhang Zhizhou hurriedly said: "The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed." "But he brought men to the messengers.
When the envoy saw Zhang Zhizhou, he bowed and shouted, "The envoy of the great power has seen Zhang Zhizhou. ”
Jia Yan held the iron sword in his hand and said angrily: "When you see my family Zhizhou, why don't you worship? You still dare to call yourself a big country, how can this be reasonable!"
Zhang Zhizhou said: "The general is angry, but what does Sticky Han have to say?"
The messenger said slowly: "The marshal of my family wants to make Zhizhou surrender, so as not to kill each other and make the people miserable." He took out the letter of persuasion from Muhan in his arms, Jia Yan pulled it over, handed it to Zhang Zhizhou, Zhang Zhizhou didn't look at it, burned it without opening it, and coaxed the messenger out of Fenzhou. The envoy returned to see Sticky Han with a face full of shame, and Sticky Han sent the messenger into the city again, and Zhang Zhizhou remained the same. Sticky Fenzhou could not be surrendered, so he had to make Wanyan Lou Room transfer troops and 10,000 horsemen to attack.
Zhang Zhizhou led the soldiers to wear armor and resist the Jin soldiers, but there were ten people in the city who spread the word of gold reduction, Zhang Zhizhou angrily beheaded ten people in the city, and the words stopped.
Sticky Han led the army to line up under the city of Fenzhou, Zhang Kejian stood at the head of the city, pointed at the Jin soldiers and scolded, so that the thunderbolt cannon bombarded the Jin army, and the cannon hit a chief, which was immediately blown into meat paste and killed immediately. Zhang Zhizhou laughed and said: "I am a golden man with a copper head and an iron body, but I am just a physical body." "The Jin people are attacking more and more urgently, Zhang Zhizhou has no choice but to die, handwriting cursive testament and his wife's suicide note, and the soldiers of Xuanzhou outside the city to reach the Beijing division.
The next day, Mu Han led his army from the northwest of the city, and the capital eunuch Jia Yan met the battle. Na Jia Kang's martial arts are strong, the strength is incomparable, accustomed to making an iron square four-edged lance, weighing fifty pounds, each battle only advances and does not retreat, so people call it "small single pass".
Jia knew that the Jin soldiers were attacking, and they took the lead in killing the enemy with a lance, rushing left and right, and they were unstoppable. Sticky was rare, and shouted: "Which general captures this horseman?" The pioneer Yelu Tushan waved his saber in response to the sound, and rode a green horse to take Jia Ya, Jia Kan saw the ferocity of his coming, and shouted: "Rats, dare to come and die!"
Yelu Tushan shouted: "Wu Yelu Tushan, the army of the Zhejia family is still defeated in my hands, if you want to avoid death, you should have surrendered earlier!" Jia Kang came to fight Yelu Tushan, Tu Shan came to meet with a knife, in the melee, Jia Kang was hit by dozens of arrows, and was poked under the horse by the Jin soldiers, and Mu Han led the army to attack the government directly.
When Zhang Zhizhou heard that Jia Kang had been killed, he led the crowd to fight in the streets. Sticky Han ordered those who could capture Zhang Kejian alive with a reward of one hundred taels, Zhang Zhizhou heard about it, and said angrily: "I was born as a person of the Great Song Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I be humiliated by a thief." "It was the end of the battle, he returned home and took off his armor, took out his court clothes, dressed neatly, burned incense and looked south to worship, drew his sword and killed himself, and the family accompanied the dead eight people.
Sticky Han invaded his home, saw that Zhang Zhizhou was dead, and admired it very much, so that Zhang Zhizhou and his family were buried in the back garden according to the rites, and Luo Bai set up a sacrifice to build a temple for him. After this matter was known to the imperial court, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to give Zhang Kejian as a bachelor of Yankang Palace, 300 taels of silver, 500 horses of silk, and praised in the township, to the Shaoxing period, nicknamed "loyalty".
Sticky Han not only took Fenzhou, Wanyan Lou Room also took Shizhou, and Shizhou belongs to the county Fangshan, Lishi, Pingyi. Sticky Han also made Wanyan Agu's son-in-law Pucha Shijianu lead 3,000 troops to break Shouyang to pacify the Ding army. This Pingding Army was just a military city within a radius of several miles, and it could only accommodate a few hundred households.
However, it was said that the civilian officials of the Pingding Army had already fled when they saw the Jin soldiers pressing the city. There is only one military attache surnamed Ji Mingting, who leads people to defend to the death. This Ji Ting was originally a doctor of Wude and a training envoy of the Qizhou regiment, and now he is sent as a superintendent of the Hedong Road branch to defend against the enemy, pacifying less than 1,000 people in the army, and there are no more than dozens of horses.
At this time, Yue Fei was in the army, and he had been promoted from a partial colonel to a lieutenant. Yue Fei heard that the Jin soldiers had arrived, and when he saw Ji Ting, the martial arts commander, he said: "Lord Zhijun, don't worry, Fei has a plan, and you can break the Jin soldiers tonight." ”
Ji Ting saw that he said and asked, "Pengju said it." ”
Yue Fei said: "Sticky Han fought for days, although he won the battle, but the soldiers and horses were tired, and he sent troops to come, but he camped and did not attack our army, but ran from a distance, and the soldiers were powerless. Peng Ju is not talented, only ask for 200 brothers, attack the gold camp at night, burn its siege equipment, grain, sticky Han in person, what can I do!"
Ji Ting laughed and said: "Pengju is high, according to your words, you can choose 200 soldiers to raid Jinzhai." Yue Fei got the order, so he summoned Wang Gui, Xu Qing, Zhang Yong, and Meng Bangjie to talk about their strategies.
Wang Gui said: "The Jin people are camped five miles away, and I am willing to be a pioneer." Xu Qing, Zhang Yong, and Meng Bangjie are also contentious.
Yue Fei said: "This time is not compared to the war in the past, our brothers should be divided into five ways, each lead forty brothers, prepare more firearms, take the sound of arrows as an order, burn the enemy's baggage and equipment, do not fall in love with war, and if you violate the order, you must eat military law, and the brothers can understand." The four of them agreed in unison, after sunset, Yue Fei five people, each led forty soldiers, divided into five ways to kill the gold camp, until the outside of the gold camp, moved the antlers, Yue Fei put the sound of arrows, the five people and horses rushed into the gold camp, cut when they met people, chopped when they met people, and lit fires everywhere.
Besides, Pucha Shijianu raised troops to the outside of the Pingding army city, set up a large camp, thought that the victory was in hand, leisurely, and drank alone in the tent with a lamp, did not feel drunk, and slept at the desk. I don't know how long I slept soundly, I suddenly heard the people outside the tent shouting horses neighing, and the sergeant came into the tent to report, Shi Jianu woke up in a panic, and hurried out of the tent to see the fire in the camp, making a mess.
Shi Jianu shouted: "I came to the expedition after the order of General Yan Lou, if I am defeated, it will be difficult to see Marshal Muhan." "It is also called the beating of drums and the gathering of troops. The wrestlers on both sides beat the drums, and after the drums were beaten, the sergeants gradually gathered, and Shi Jianu urgently ordered a counterattack.
Yue Fei's five people saw that the Jin soldiers were in great difficulty, and the Song soldiers were also seriously wounded, so they had to fight and retreat, more than 200 people only killed dozens of people, Yue Fei and several people were in the palace, and also killed a lot of Jin soldiers, Shi Jianu saw that the Song army was fierce, and it was late at night, and he didn't know whether there was an ambush, so he ordered the army to be withdrawn. At dawn, Yue Feifang led the remnants of the army back to the military city of Pingding. Zhijun Ji Ting greeted him and asked the reason.
Yue Fei and Ji Ting said: "Most of the enemy's siege equipment has been burned, but it is difficult for us and others to fight for a long time, and the losses are more than 100, which is really Peng's fault, and I only listen to the general's punishment." "Anyway, kneel down and plead guilty.
Ji Ting said: "Peng Juxiu said so, our army is already small and outnumbered, and it is natural that we will not blame it." Nai Fu Yue flew up and entered the city together to discuss the enemy's strategy.
Besides, when Pucha Shijianu Pingming checked the casualties, more than 400 people died, including a few centurions and 50 captains, and dozens of 10 and 5 captains. Shi Jianu was furious, and the unified army attacked the military city of Pingding, and attacked for several days. Suddenly, the fourth prince of the East Route Army broke through the Chengtian military village, so that Pu Cha Shijie came to help in the war, and the Shi family slave went to greet him, and the two dismounted to meet each other and told the battle situation.
Shi Jianu said: "Our army has been attacking the city for several days, and the casualties of the army have exceeded 1,000, so it is gratifying that the general has arrived." ”
Pu Cha Shijie said: "I am entrusted by General Zongbi to break the city and kill the enemy, and the general should not worry." ”
Shi Jianu Yao pointed to the military city of Pingding and said, "When will General Shijie get down to this city?"
Pu Cha Shijie said: "Half a day is enough. "He turned over his horse, braved the rain of arrows, led his troops to the city, dismounted and held a short blade, and climbed the ladder to kill the city. Shijie was extremely brave, the Song soldiers could not stop, the Jin army took advantage of the situation to break through the military city, and the army Ji Ting was killed, only Yue Fei and Wang Gui, Zhang Yong, Xu Qing, and Meng Bangjie led the remnants to break through. Pucha Shijianu broke through the Pingding army, and the remaining anger was not calmed, so he slaughtered the city without mentioning it.
Let's say that Yue Fei and the others each brought weapons and rode south, Zhang Yong asked, "Brother Yue, where should I go?"
Yue Fei said: "I have to go back to my hometown first, and then make plans." ”
Wang Gui said: "That's it." So the remnants of the rest of the people were dismissed, and Yue Fei and the five of them looked for a way to Tangyin.
On the way, Yue Fei suddenly remembered Sun Yi's rescue of Taiyuan, and composed a poem on the horse:
The tiger in his chest is wide and the world is wide, and he is surrounded by a single person.
Once he died, he still hated the city, and his exploits cast the soul of the Han people.
Meng Bangjie said: "Why did my brother say this?"
Yue Fei said: "Can you wait to hear about Sun Yi?"
Xu Qingdao: "I have heard a little, in order to save Taiyuan, this person led the troops to break into the sticky Han camp and rode alone to the city of Taiyuan, but the prefect Zhang Xiaochun did not open the door, Sun Yi was angry, and he entered the siege alone and died outside the city of Taiyuan. ”
Yue Fei said: "Sun Yizhen's husband, a good man." Our brothers will be such heroes in the future, and their hearts will not be slanted. The upper ones do not dishonor the ancestors and the ancestors, and the lower ones do not live up to their parents, wives and children. Wouldn't it be beautiful to protect the family and defend the country and leave a clear name in the world. Wang Gui and the others nodded yes. Yue Fei and the others returned to Tangyin, Yue's wife Liu had given birth to a second son, Yue Lei, Yue Fei was very happy, and he was reunited with his family.
Yue Fei returned to Tangyin County and had nothing to do. One day, the brothers went to Yue's house to gossip, Xu Qingdao: "The Jin army is increasingly attacking cities and plundering land, and we should serve the country and join the army again." ”
Zhang Yongdao: "There are many generals in charge of the army, but I don't know where to go?"
Wang Guidao: "This Xiangzhou was occupied by the Jin State at first, although it has been returned to the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the soldiers are outnumbered and weak, and if the Jin army returns, it will still be lost." If you want to save the community, you should vote for the Lord. ”
Meng Bangjie said: "Brother doesn't know, King Kang Zhao Gou has now arrived in Xiangzhou, I heard that he is the ninth son of the old emperor, both civil and military, he can really be regarded as a master, it is better to go to the army." ”
Yue Fei said: "I also know about this matter, I heard that King Kang has sent envoys to the Jin army several times, and he has great courage, and several brothers have gone home to do something, and I will leave on the same day to join the army." When Yue Fei's mother, Mrs. Yao, heard this, she turned out of the house, and when Wang Gui and the others saw it, they each got up and saluted.
The old lady said to Yue Fei: "The worries of the monarch are said to be 'loyal', and the protection of the territory and the people is said to be 'serving the country'." No matter where my son is, these four words must not be forgotten. ”
Yue Fei said: "Mother's lesson, my son doesn't dare to forget, it's better to tattoo these four words on the son's backbone, and when I go out, I always read my mother's earnest teachings." ”
Wang Gui said: "Wonderful! Now I am from the Song Kingdom, there are many embroideries, I don't know how many of these four words are better than embroidery?" Xu Qing and others all said yes.
Mrs. Yao, the mother-in-law, said, "Isn't my son afraid of pain!"
Yue Fei said: "Serve the country, die and don't be afraid, why be afraid of pain! ”
Mrs. Yao said: "Since this is the case, it is good. Arrange the incense case, sacrifice to the ancestors, you can tattoo the words. "The incense case was prepared, and Mrs. Tai made Yue Fei's wife Liu grind, and ordered Yue Fei to kneel in front of his father Yue He Ling, take off his shirt, and expose his back.
Mrs. Yao first wrote on the paper with Song characters, and then put the paper in the middle of Yue Fei's back, and stabbed it with an embroidery needle according to the font needle.
Yue Fei said: "Mother doesn't have to feel sorry for the child, the child doesn't hurt. "Less carving, Mrs. Yao will be "loyal to the country" four words tattooed, the paper is removed, the blood stains are cleaned, and then smeared with vinegar and ink, the four words will never fade, Mrs. Yao is also sweating profusely, sit down to rest.
Mrs. Yao said: "My son has these four words today, he should be loyal to the country, and don't think of the old man." ”
The next day, Yue Fei and the others said goodbye to their families and rushed to Xiangzhou. When he arrived in Xiangzhou, he learned that Liu Hao, a doctor with martial arts, was recruiting righteous soldiers and collecting the Hebei rout, Yue Fei and his brothers joined his account and did not mention serving the country.
However, it is said that at this time, Yang Zhen was promoted to the fifth rank because of the breaking of Fang La, and he guarded Jianning in Linzhou, and was besieged by the remnants of the Liao State, Xiao Ju Ying, and the Xia people and Xi people.
At the beginning of the death of the Liao Kingdom, the general who fled westward, recruited more than 100,000 Qiang people, broke Fengzhou, and attacked the cities of Linzhou, Yang Zhen's father Yang Zongmin led his soldiers and horses to defeat it repeatedly, and captured the parents and wife of Xiao Ju Ying. Taiyuan was broken by the Jin army, Xiao Ju knew that there was a gap to take advantage of, and wanted to revenge, so he besieged Jianning, and Yang Zhen had no rescuers, so he had to hold on.
Xiao Ju Yin personally went to the city of Jianning, buckled the wall and Yang Zhen shouted: "Your father took my residence, broke my soldiers and horses, covered my flesh and blood, I endured death to this day, just for revenge." Yang Zifa you have no way to retreat, if you raise the city and surrender to me, I will take your life. Yang Zhen held the battlement with his hand, and saw that Xiao Ju Gong was not far from the city, so he took a bow and arrow and shot quickly, Xiao Ju Gong held a shield to cover it, and the arrow could not be injured, so he gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers and horses to attack the city.
The garrison of Jianning City was less than 100 people, Yang Zhen made an appointment with the soldiers, killed one enemy, rewarded a few money, and the treasury was exhausted.
Yang Zhen and Xiao Ju fought for more than ten days, and finally because of the lack of arrows, the enemy attacked the city, Yang Zhen and his son Yang Juzhong, Yang Zhizhong fought in battle, and the whole family died, only the eldest son Yang Yizhong was exempted from the expedition to Hebei. The following year, Yang Zhen's father, Yang Zongmin, also died in Chang'an for the king. Yang Zhen was forty-four years old at the time.
In the second year of Jianyan, the imperial court decreed that Wu Jinglang was given. After Yang Cunzhong was a nobleman, please go to the imperial court and add the nickname "Gong Yi".
Emperor Shaodi of the Song Dynasty learned that Linzhou Jianning was lost, and Hebei repeatedly reported defeat, he was anxious, and urgently ordered Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wang Bian to accompany King Zhao of Kang to make an envoy to leave the army, but Wang Bian's resignation was not accepted. Wang Bian also wrote to persuade the Son of Heaven to lead the troops to conquer in person, and the young emperor was angry and demoted Wang Bian to the deputy envoy of the Shanzhou regiment, and ordered Feng Lu to send the Jin army with King Kang on his behalf.
However, it was said that after the fall of Taiyuan, the master of the road started to patrol the border again, to Heyang, and thought: "Hebei is not guaranteed, the Jin army will invade on a large scale, and it is difficult to hold on to the place of the four battles in the capital." "Naishangshu invited the Son of Heaven to come to Chang'an to avoid its edge. The ministers of the court thought that the seed master was timid, and asked the Son of Heaven to recall the seed master Dao. Shidao was sad and indignant in his heart, and when he arrived in the capital, his old illness recurred, and he couldn't see the Son of Heaven.
Until the end of October, the seed master was seriously ill, and he and his wife Yin Shi said slowly on the couch: "I have no shame in my life, but I can't gallop across the field with my crippled body and drive away the foreign criminals, which is really hateful! He died at the age of seventy-six. Shidao has two sons, named Chonghao and Chongxi, both of whom died before Shidao.
The Son of Heaven came to pay tribute to the planter, wept sadly, and gave the opening ceremony and the three divisions. Later, when he came to Jianyan, he added a small guarantee, and said that he was "loyal to the constitution".
After the seed master Dao this breeder will be the door, the son of the seed record, the appearance is burly, the beauty is a few feet, can make more than 100 catties of double gold hammer, quite a Han horse aid Fengzi, has made meritorious contributions to the west, the world knows its loyalty.
The historian once commented on the generals: "The Song Dynasty punished the disadvantages of the five seasons of the feudal towns, and used a little to govern the frontier and lead the Jiexuan." However, the major affairs of the military situation and the country are not the habit of being clear, but the decision to respond to the situation is not in a time of sudden danger, is it not a servant? The kind of family from the world Heng meritorious Qingjian, follow the soldiers, the power of Qiang, Xia, all the sons have generals, to the teacher, the division has been three generations, the number of Shanxi famous generals. Huizong Ren eunuch erected a side provocation, the words of the teacher were not sold, and the disaster of the north and the south was destroyed. Jin went deep with a lone army, and the division invited Chi Xishi to attack him and drive him to the party for a long time; the division wanted to cover it up, which can be described as a great plan. Li Gang and Xu Hangu thought that they were cowardly and teasing, and they lost the opportunity, so they went to the great end, and the country was defeated, what a pity!"
After the Zodiac Zhou, there is a praise of the seed master Dao:
The old breeder said, the main soldier at the end of the Song Dynasty.
is not displeased, that is, resentful Cai Jing.
The emperor asked about side affairs, and he was undefeated and refined.
If you come, you will respond, and you will make things happen.
Liao Gong has not been established, and the first shock is disturbed.
Threaten to help, hit forward and rush back.
The enemy was captured, and the city was completed.
Conquer the bottom again, and cut the lazy first.
The division has only been eight days, and the enemy has been flattened.
Liao is a neighbor, what is the name of cutting.
Baigou was defeated and turned to lean towards each other.
Start Hebei again, or stop it.
The division marched and advanced, directly pressing the enemy camp.
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard it, and stopped in fear.
Ping Zhong is jealous, and he fights quickly.
Please slow down, and the emperor will not listen.
Even if the battle is defeated, there is no basis for merit and crime.
Most of the turbulent times are empty.
After dying of illness, Fang was soothed.
Precisely:
Once loyal and good, the world can not boast endlessly.
