Chapter 250: Yue
In terms of military ability, Yue Fei's ability is beyond doubt, and the saying 'Han Bai Li Yue' was popular in Bao Hong's era, and Yue Fei's evaluation was very high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason why they are called the four major together, and the other famous generals in history are not ranked together, mainly refers to the fact that these four generals not only fought well, but most importantly, they had a strategy to pacify the world, had absolute personal control over the army, and could influence the overall situation at that time, rather than just implementing the monarch's decisions. Of course, Yue Fei is a little worse in terms of influencing the current situation, and being able to be on a par with the top three is more about his spirit.
In this regard, Yue Fei's performance is indelible. He expressed the demands of the violated nations, adhered to the lofty national integrity, adhered to the just struggle against Jin, and played a mainstay role in extending the civilization of the Han nation! Together with the anti-Jin army and people, Yue Fei saved half of the rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty and saved the southern Chinese people from the ravages of the Jin, thus preserving the highly developed economy and culture of China and enabling it to continue to develop.
However, his problems are also well known, whether it is stupid and ignorant, brainless and upright, in fact, it is the same thing.
In fact, if you really want to say that he doesn't understand those, it may not be, maybe it is purely the idea of serving the country with loyalty that has always been propagated by Confucianism.
But I have to say that this approach is actually not advisable, if he is not lucky, he will not have a chance to get ahead in his life, let alone drive out the Tartars or something.
However, it is said that after the shame of Jingkang that year, King Kang Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Yingtianfu, which was for Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty and changed to Yuan Jianyan. Although Zhao Gou appointed Li Gang, a famous minister of the Anti-Japanese War faction, as the left minister, he still attached great importance to the surrender faction Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others. Zhao Gou adopted the policy of Huang Qianshan and others to avoid the war and move south, and prepared to travel south to "patrol luck", wanting to retreat to Chang'an, Xiangyang, Yangzhou and other places. Yue Fei, who was 25 years old at the time, learned the news, regardless of his humble official position, and poured out his liver and guts, and wrote "thousands of words" to Zhao Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. And the division of King Qin's daily collection, the other side said that I was weak, and it was advisable to take advantage of it to slack. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan can't accept the holy will to recover, and they are driving south by car, and they are afraid that it will not be enough to hope for the Central Plains. His Majesty is willing to take advantage of the enemy's hole and personally lead the six armies to cross north, so that the morale will be strong and the Central Plains can be restored.
However, his Geng Geng Dan heart was only exchanged for the eight-character criticism of "the junior minister exceeded his post, it is not appropriate to say", and he was dismissed from the military position, military status, and expelled from the barracks.
This is a typical person who is too upright, and there has been a person who has been promoted and appointed because of skipping the ranks? Even if there are one or two occasionally, that is, there are great truths contained in the content of the book, and there are indeed great talents, so they are appointed.
Because of any system, the most important point is the rules, the so-called rules can not be a circle, as small as a family, as large as the official government and the court, if he is promoted because of this, then everyone has to follow suit, do you want to promote it too?
Yue Fei's determination to resist gold was not shaken. In August of the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei crossed the river to the north and went to the front line of the anti-Jin Dynasty - the Beijing Daimyo Mansion. This is his fourth time in the army. After Zhang learned about Yue Fei's plight, he was very sympathetic and left him to "call in front of the tent".
Because of Yue Fei's extraordinary insight and superb martial arts, Zhang finally decided to promote him exceptionally. First, he "borrowed the white body to repair the martial arts", and then was promoted to the commander, and then to the commander, and was subordinate to the famous general Wang Yan.
However, in order to make peace with the Jin people, Gaozong, Huang, Wang and others deliberately suppressed the anti-Jin forces in the court: first, Li Gang, who resolutely advocated anti-Jin, was deposed as prime minister, and then Zhang Suo was also degraded and sent to Lingnan because of his previous impeachment of Huang Qianshan, and finally died in the derogatory way. The armies of Wang Yan and Yue Fei, who were sent by Zhang to recover Weizhou and other places, also became lone due to the revocation of the Zhaofu Division on the West Hebei Road.
Wang Yan garrisoned Shimen Mountain in Xinxiang County, Weizhou, and was surrounded by the assembled Jin army, so he fought cautiously. Yue Fei was a little young and vigorous, and blamed Wang Yan for being timid: "The second emperor is covered with dust, and the thieves are based on Heshuo, and the courtiers should open the way to meet the public opinion." If you don't fight quickly, but wait and see, do you really want to be a thief! "Lead his subordinates to fight without authorization and capture Xinxiang County. The Jin army mistakenly thought that Wang Yan and Yue Feijun were the main force of the Song army, so they dispatched people from all walks of life to gather in Xinxiang to prepare for a decisive battle with the Song army. The army of Wang and Yue, with only 7,000 men, was besieged by the Jin army and scattered in the breakout. Yue Fei was at odds with Wang Yan, and led his troops to fight in the Taihang Mountains, during which he attacked the Jin army many times, captured the Jin general Tuoba Yewu, stabbed the enemy chief Black Wind King to death, and forced the Jin people to temporarily retreat.
After Li Gang dismissed the prime minister, Zong Ze, who stayed in Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, actually became the central figure of the anti-Jin resistance. Zong Ze established extensive contacts with the spontaneous anti-gold armed forces in the north, incorporated an army of one million people, and accumulated enough grain and grass for half a year. Ze appointed Wang Yan as the "military commander of the two rivers", and Wang Yan sent someone to order Yue Fei's department to "go to the Ronghe Pass".
Yue Fei and Wang Yan were difficult to work together, so they decided to lead their troops south to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo and accept Zong Ze's leadership again. Zong Ze cherished Yue Fei's talents, understood his patriotism, forgave Yue Fei for violating military discipline (referring to the matter of leading the team to leave Wang Yan), and stayed in the camp to wait for the dispatch.
For this kind of behavior, in fact, there is nothing to say at all, the people just say so, saying that he is for the nation, for the people, etc., it is nonsense to put it in the army, what are you going to do? Do you want to be an army with ideas and ideals? So who's in charge?
Although the law is reasonable, the problem is that in the matter of military affairs, the more human feelings are involved, the more likely it is to have problems.
As the old saying goes, it is nothing more than a soldier's duty to carry out orders.
That's it, after all, it's just sticking to your own ideas, but the means of implementation can't be used to convince others.
The key problem is that when this guy encounters a bad situation, he is not trying to find a way to deal with it, but to make a strike.
It is said that Gaozong summoned Fei to the "Bedroom" and gave Yue Fei an order: "The matter of Zhongxing, I will be the secretary." "I am going to subordinate more than 50,000 soldiers and horses such as Wang De and Li Qiong from Liu Guangshi's department to Yue Fei. This is a measure made by the imperial court because Liu Guangshi wanted to change his defense to avoid the war in the battle of Huaishang, and when he retired from the army, he made several mistakes and was deprived of his military authority.
Yue Fei was extremely excited when he saw that the army was about to expand and there was hope of recovering the Central Plains, so he wrote a "Begging for the Master" by hand. stated his plan to restore the Central Plains, and at this time he no longer mentioned the return of the "two saints" or "Yuan saints (Song Qinzong)", and only included Qinzong in the "heavenly family".
After Gaozong saw Yue Fei's performance, he personally rewarded the imperial court, and the Governor's Mansion also informed Yue Fei of Liu Guangshijun's situation. Dialing Liu Guangshijun and Yue Fei seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but Zhang Jun and Qin Hui obstructed it, Gaozong listened to Zhang Jun's proposal, ignored the "previous discussion" that had been decided, and issued an edict to Yue Fei saying: "The Huaixi army is quite tortuous. "Don't transfer Liu Guangshijun to Yue Fei. Zhang Jun saw Yue Fei, put aside the "pre-discussion" between Liu Jun and Yue Fei, and asked each other about the personnel arrangements in the Huaixi Army, but Yue Fei's straightforward answer was ridiculed by Zhang Jun. Yue Fei was angry in his chest, and he took a note to beg for dismissal from his military position, and without waiting for instructions, he only explained to the accompanying secret officer Huang Zonglu, and then left Jiankang and returned to the tomb of Lushan Mother to guard the system.
When Gaozong heard of Yue Fei's resignation, he ordered the general of the Ezhou military camp to immediately urge Yue Fei to return to the army, and sent Zhang Zongyuan to the Ezhou army as a judge of Xuanfu. The court ordered Li Ruoxu and Wang Gui to go to Lushan to ask Fei to return to the army, Li Ruoxu persuaded Yue Fei for six days, and Fei only agreed to be ordered to see the court and return to the army
So what else do you want? Something happened in the middle and you changed some orders, are you upset? Zhang Jun: Are you uncomfortable? What's wrong with my temper?
In the Song Dynasty, Di Qing was scared to death, and I sent someone to invite you if you were playing a temper and 'strike' here?
To be honest, if you don't have the ability to let the emperor do what you think, it means that the position of the other opponents is wrong?
To put it mildly, the Song Dynasty itself was not good in the first place, and many people wanted to get a little psychological comfort from Yue Fei, a national hero, and the practice of changing the environment was simply ......
Everyone knows a truth, in the final analysis, the military is for the military, and the Song Dynasty will be the emperor's own political position problematic, but from another point of view, sometimes the political tone is set, and it is definitely problematic for you to do things that go against the political tone.
Just like in the period when the country was newly established, did you not want peace, but desperately tried to bring down some treasure islands, Vietnam, Outer Mongolia and other places? The homeland has been occupied, what kind of peace talks? Lao Tzu is not convinced, Lao Tzu just wants to fight!
Or that the founding general of the country said, Taizu, if you don't overturn the Yalta Agreement, send troops and Mao Zi to rob Outer Mongolia Lao Tzu to strike at this post, or Lao Tzu will lead his troops to fight.
Of course, it's the same with changing places, what kind of Taiwan or something, what kind of peace if you don't fight back? If you don't hit me, I'll strike!
But in retrospect, if you really have that great ability, in fact, the reasonable emperor should come down with the boat.
Just like the last wave, Gaozong is a bit of a pit, so many good news have come over, you can push the boat down the river and see the result, can you win the bullshit, if you can't win, you will sell Yue Fei directly.
When Yue Fei practiced and defeated, and Wushu was ready to cross the Yellow River and go home, a student of the Northern Song Dynasty asked to see him and said to Wushu: "The prince doesn't leave!" The capital can be defended! Yue Shaobao and retire! Wushu hurriedly asked: "Yue Shaobao broke through 100,000 of my elite soldiers with 500 horses, and the Beijing division looked at him day and night, what does it mean to defend?" The student said, "Otherwise, since ancient times, there has been no powerful minister, and the general can make meritorious contributions to the outside!" From a foolish point of view, Yue Shao is inevitably in trouble, but if he wants to succeed? ”
After being reminded by this person, Wushu decided not to leave the river for the time being. And Qin Hui had already secretly planned Yue Fei's withdrawal of troops. The important steps they planned were to let Zhang Jun return Shouchun from Bozhou, order Han Shizhong to hold Huaidong steadily and not to continue to advance, and Liu Qi, who was stationed in Shunchang, was transferred to Taiping Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, and so on. All of this was to put Yue Fei in a situation where he was attacked by the enemy on the flank, and he was alone. At the moment when the great victory of Yuncheng was reported to the imperial court, Qin Hui colluded with Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong to instigate and instigate the official Luo Ruji to go to Gaozong, saying: "There are few soldiers and generals, and the people are poor and the country is lacking. May Your Majesty send down the edict and order the class teacher. ”
Gaozong then issued an edict and ordered Yue Fei to be a teacher.
On July 18, that is, when Zhang Xian was killed from Linying to Kaifeng, the Song court sent an edict from the class. In view of the victorious battle situation at that time, Yue Fei argued in his book, roughly as follows: "The heavy troops of the Qikan Jin captives gathered in Tokyo, and after repeated defeats, they were frustrated, and they were shocked inside and outside. Those who heard the spy wanted to abandon their baggage and quickly cross the river. In this case, the heroes are facing the wind, the soldiers are using their lives, the time is the personnel, the strength and weakness have been seen, the merit and the vertical success, the time will not come again, and the opportunity will be lost. The ministers are familiar with the materials day and night, but His Majesty wants to do it.
After two or three days, the vanguard of the army had arrived in Zhuxian Town, and when Wanyan Wushu had escaped from Kaifeng, Yue Fei received twelve edicts handed by gold plates within one day, and the edict was sternly worded: ordered the army to be a class teacher immediately, and Yue Fei himself went to Lin'an to see him. According to the research of scholar Wang Zengyu, the time when Gao Zong issued the 12 gold medals was about July 10, that is, not long after he received the good news of the restoration of Xijing and Henan Prefecture on July 2.
When Yue Fei received such a ridiculous order, he cried indignantly: "Ten years of power will be wasted in one fell swoop!" However, under the high-pressure clamping of the imperial court, Yue Fei had to order the class teacher. When the people heard the news, they stopped in front of Yue Fei's horse, crying and complaining that they were worried about retaliation by the Jin soldiers: "We will wear incense pots and transport grain and grass to welcome the officers and soldiers, and the Jin people know about it." When the public goes, my generation has no kind of class. Yue Fei was helpless, tearfully took the edict and showed it to everyone, saying, "I must not stay without permission." And the cry shook the wilderness. When the army withdrew to Caizhou, the local people asked to act with the troops, and Yue Fei finally decided to stay with the army for five days to cover the relocation of the local people to Xianghan. The army was in Ezhou, and Yue Fei went to Lin'an to meet him. The Northern Loyal and Righteous Army was lonely, and Wushu returned to Kaifeng, suppressed the whole army, and captured the Henan region recovered by the Song army. Yue Fei learned the bad news on the way to the class, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "All the counties you have gained, once they are all closed!" It is difficult to prosper! The world of Qiankun has no reason to recover! ”
Yue Fei returned to the Xing Dynasty, no longer making generous statements as before, but repeatedly begged the court to relieve him of his military duties and return to the fields. Gaozong refused to allow it on the grounds that there was "no period of resignation".
In the first month of the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Wanyan Wushu led the army southward again. In February, Yue Fei led his troops to aid Huaixi for the third time. This was also the last time he participated in the fight against gold
Next, he was killed on 'trumped-up' charges. In fact, the result is the same, so it is best to let him finish the fight and then sell him.
After Yue Fei was killed, the jailer Kui Shun took the risk of carrying Yue Fei's body out of Hangzhou City and burying it next to the Jiuqu Cong Temple outside the Qiantang Gate. Before Kui Shun died, he told his son about it. In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, Song Xiaozong ascended the throne, and Yue Fei was finally rehabilitated. The son of Kui Shun told the past situation, and he was buried in Qixialing in the West Lake, and posthumously gave Yue Fei the nickname "Wu Mu", and Song Ningzong was posthumously crowned as the king of E, and Song Lizong changed his name to Zhongwu.
