In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the history of the Song army's defense against the invasion of the Jin army was called Zhongxing. Among them www.biquge.info there are four military commanders with the most outstanding achievements in resisting Jin, namely Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi, and are known as the "Four Generals of Zhongxing". Liu Songnian, a famous court painter of the Southern Song Dynasty, once painted a picture of the four generals of Zhongxing. The painting was in the royal collection during the Qing Dynasty and is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Emperor Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang all loved this work very much, and even left ink treasures on this painting and stamped it.

When I was a child, I used to read a lot of books about the Song Dynasty, and I always thought that the list of the four generals of Zhongxing was not very reasonable. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong deserve to be among the four generals, but when it comes to Zhang Jun and Liu Guangnian, I think it was the result of the political struggle in the extraordinary period at that time. Let's not mention that Zhang Jun is the accomplice who followed Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei, in addition to being older than Yue Fei in terms of age, his integrity, military exploits, and loyalty and filial piety are far inferior to Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.

Although Han Shizhong was born in the market, when he was young, he was even called a rogue by the neighbors. But when he was young, Han Shizhong was infinitely powerful, brave and brave, and once bravely captured the big python, which was called "going up the mountain to fight the tiger, and going down to the sea to kick the dragon". Later, he joined the army and followed Tong Guan all the way to accumulate combat exploits and bravely captured Fang La. In the four famous novels Water Margin, Song Jiang conquered Fang La, in the novel, Lu Zhishen captured Fang La, and in the TV series, Wu Song, a walker, captured him with one arm. These are actually the prototypes of Han Shizhong, Han Shizhong was already a great military achievement in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Dajin general Wanyan Zongbi went south to invade the Southern Song Dynasty. Wanyan Zongbi's military talent was extremely high, and he defeated the Song army in a short time. The Southern Song Dynasty emperor Zhao Gou fled in all directions and was finally trapped at sea. Wanyan Zongbi returned to the north, and Han Shizhong Yue Fei gathered a small number of soldiers and horses to fight the Dajin general Wanyan Zongbi. At sea, Han Shizhong and his wife Liang Hongyu beat the drum town of Jinshan, and finally intercepted the Jin soldiers in Huang Tiandang. Yue Fei Fengbo Pavilion was killed, Qin Hui covered the sky with one hand, only Han Shizhong was not afraid of the powerful to fight for Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong Zhongxing was well deserved.

Zhang Jun was also both civil and military at the beginning, and he won more with less on the battlefield, and the first battle of Shanxi Yuci also reflected his military talent. However, in the later period, Zhang Jun examined the seizure and also had a strong political premonition, followed Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, and persuaded Zhao Gou to establish himself as the king and settle in Lin'an. I think that if there was no Zhang Jun, there would be no Southern Song Dynasty to survive all these years. However, in the later period, Zhang Jun slapped his horse and bearded, ignoring the interests of the country, and greedy for Wang Fa may be a common problem of the Song Dynasty's ministers. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun deceived the upper and lower levels, just to curry favor with Zhao Gou, Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, wanton money and grain, and filled his private pockets with Qin Hui to harm Yue Fei, and then the people of Dawn ignored it.

Liu Guangshi's name is Uncle Ping, born in a family of Jiangmen. But no matter how I comment on it, I think he is the most cowardly of the four ZTE generals. His father Liu Yan was even more of a wretch, and as a military general, he often ran away on the battlefield, perhaps as a result of Liu Guang's son inheriting his father's business. Liu Guangshi loved to bring his family when he fought, and he never won a battle, and the Jin people were always ashamed to fight with Liu Guangshi.

Yue Fei lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother. Legend has it that his mother tattooed the words "Serve the country with loyalty" on his back, so that he remembered the hatred of the country and the family. He once worshipped Zhou Tong as a teacher to learn martial arts. At the age of twenty-one, he joined the army as a subordinate of Zong Ze, and made many military exploits, and he broke 10,000 hardware soldiers with 800 Yuejia troops, and became famous. Successive officials and imperial commanders of the loyal military army, Ezhou garrison army commander envoy, Heyang and other three towns festival envoy. In 1126, the Jingkang Change, the Jin soldiers broke through Kaifeng, and the Northern Song Dynasty fell. In 1134 (the fourth year of Shaoxing), Yue Fei cut gold for the first time and recovered six counties such as Xiangyang and Xinyang. In 1136 (the sixth year of Shaoxing), he went on another northern expedition, occupying Yiyang and Luoyang, and was forced to withdraw to Ezhou because of the lone battle. Yue Fei's ambition in this Northern Expedition was unrewarded, and he wrote full of Jianghong. In the spring of 1140 (the tenth year of Shaoxing), after Yan Zongbi invaded the south, Yue Fei sent troops to break the Jin soldiers, recovered Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and approached Zhuxian Town (now 20 kilometers south of Kaifeng, Henan), directly forcing Bianjing, the capital of the Jin State. The morale of the Yue family army was high, and they shouted "go straight to the Yellow Dragon". The Lord and Qin Hui sent Qin Hui to Song Gaozong to offer advice, and issued twelve gold medals in a row to recall Yue Fei. Before Yue Fei retreated, he sighed: "Ten years of work have been ruined in one fell swoop! The prefectures and counties that have been obtained will be completely suspended in one day! It is difficult for the society to flourish! The world of Qiankun has no reason to be restored!" As a result, Yue Fei's Northern Expedition failed due to political reasons. After that, Yue Fei's father and son were arrested and interrogated by Qin Huan on charges of treason, and because they could not find evidence and had no trial results, they were finally charged with "trumped-up" charges (Han Shizhong questioned Qin Huan in person, and Qin Huan said that "his matter is unwarranted (maybe)"), and was given to death on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the 29th lunar month of the 11th year of Shaoxing (1142), in the Fengbo Pavilion of Dali Temple in Hangzhou. To the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, Song Xiaozong ascended the throne, prepared for the Northern Expedition, and issued an edict to rehabilitate Yue Fei, posthumously crowned the king of Hu, Wu Mu, loyal to Wu, and was buried in the West Lake Qixia Ridge, that is, the West Lake in Hangzhou "Song Yue E King Tomb", and set up a temple to worship in Wuchang, Hubei, the name of the martyr, the biography of the Song Dynasty Shi Liezhi Yue Fei was posthumously Wu Mu was in the Song Xiaozong Chunxi five years, "Wu Mu" takes the meaning of "folding the royal insult, Bude is righteous". When he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he changed his name to "Zhongwu", and then "changed his name to Zhongwen". Because Wu Mu's nickname has been more accepted by the people, it is called "Yue Wumu" in history, and Yue Fei's anthology is naturally called "Yue Wumu Collection". Yue Fei was wronged before his death, and it can be regarded as a god who has eyes to be ordinary after his death.

Wu Jue fought against the enemy for several years, and did his best to lead the soldiers of Qinlong, Jingyuan, Jie, Chengzhuzhou and his hometown Deshun Army, and held the Qinfeng fortress for a long time and contained the pressure of the Jin people on the southeast, so that the Jin people never dared to peep into Shu. In order to lighten the burden of the people, redundant personnel were eliminated several times, expenditures were tightened, tuntian fields were implemented, and water conservancy was developed, which won the support of the people of Longshu. In 1139 A.D. (the ninth year of Shaoxing), Emperor Gaozong was promoted to the envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan because of Wu Jue's high merit. However, due to the long-term saddle horse labor, soon Wu Jue died of illness in the Xianren Pass of the Anti-Land, only forty-seven years old, called Wu'an, as a temple in the Xianren Pass, called Silie. Chun Xizhong, who was finally posthumously crowned King Fu, Wu Jue was not sealed when he was alive, and he was relieved to have a spirit in the sky after his death.
