Di Qing, the only famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the most tragic,

Di Qing was ordered by the eventful autumn of the Song Dynasty, and in this year, Nong Zhigao, the leader of the ethnic minorities in Guangxi, raised an army against the Song Dynasty, proclaimed himself Emperor Renhui, recruited troops, attacked the city, and fought until Guangdong. Several times he sent troops to requisition, but all of them lost their troops and returned defeated. Just when the whole country was in turmoil and the Manchu Dynasty was at a loss, Di Qing, who had only been a privy deputy envoy for less than 3 months, volunteered to ask for help.

After sending troops, the enemy army was defeated. After the class master returned to the court, Di Qing was appointed as a privy envoy and became the highest military commander. However, all kinds of disasters were born from this.

With the promotion of Di Qing's official position, the court's suspicion and suspicion of him gradually deepened. As early as the fourth year of Huang You (1052), when Di Qing served as the privy deputy envoy, King Juzheng in the imperial history believed that Di Qing was born in the army and reigned to the throne, "there is nothing in this dynasty, and I am afraid that the Quartet will light the court." The right secretary admonished Jia Huang to write to the emperor, and there were four indispensables for Di Qing's promotion, and Han Zhen and others also echoed it. In Yizhigao across Lingnan, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military panicked, Di Qing was ordered to be in danger, and when he led his troops to the battle, the imperial court was rejoicing, but also did not forget that "Di Qing warriors, not alone", to be a eunuch to guard the loyal prison army, to monitor Di Qing. Later, because the counselor Li Dui said that "Tang lost his government, and the eunuch looked at the army, which caused the lord to be constrained, which was not enough." The imperial court was also forced to give up because of the urgency of the situation.

By the time Di Qing triumphantly returned to the court as a privy envoy, this suspicion and uneasiness reached its climax. Ministers and hundreds of officials have spoken out, not only have they always opposed Di Qing's official position, such as Wang Juzheng, who threatened to dismiss him, but even Pang Ji, Ouyang Xiu and others, who had repeatedly praised Di Qing's military exploits and praised him as a good general, also strongly opposed the appointment of Di Qing.

Ouyang Xiu, who was known as one of the eight masters of Tang and Song prose in later generations, is playing the role of Qin Hui at the moment.

Is he at fault? No!

As the saying goes, the ass decides the head, and the ass sits on that side and speaks for that side.

After he became the privy deputy, his face still retained the lowly mark of a Song Dynasty sergeant - making characters. Song Renzong once persuaded him to use medicine to erase it, and Di Qing replied: "Your Majesty promotes the minister with merit, and does not ask the family, so the minister has today, so Ner, the minister is willing to stay in the army." It shows that he does not forget his roots!

Di Qing was born in poverty, and there were people who flattered Ah and said that he was a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty Di Renjie, Di Qing did not pretend to be his ancestors in order to change the court, he said: "When I was in trouble, I dared to compare myself with Liang Gong." ”

After Yizhigao was defeated and fled, some people once advocated that Yizhiqi was dead, so as to invite merit, but Di Qing thought that "I dare not accuse the court of being greedy for merit".

Even Wen Yanbo, who advocated his ouster, called him "loyal and well-mannered." Ouyang Xiu wrote in July of the first year of Jiayou (1056) to ask Di Qing to be dismissed, and he could not cite a single powerful evidence of guilt, but praised him: "Qing's art is really better than people", "his heart is not evil", "he is liked by the sergeant", and since he was appointed as a privy envoy, "he has not seen a mistake". So what is the crime? I had to pretend to be false about the five elements of yin and yang, and blamed Di Qing for the flood of that year, saying: "The water is yang, the soldiers are also yin, and the generals are also yin", this year's flood is a sign that God showed because of Di Qing's appointment as an official. It's just making up accusations out of nothing.

Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of Di Qing? Wen Yanbo made it clear that it was because "the court was suspicious". When Wen Yanbo asked Di Qing to dismiss, Song Renzong said that "Di Qing is a loyal minister", and Wen Yanbo immediately refuted "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong".

The reason is too far-fetched!

In the first month of the first year of Jiayou (1056), Renzong had an illness, and then slowly recovered, such as the edict Liu Chang said: "There are great worries in the world, and there are big suspicious people, now the upper body is calm, the great ones are gone, and the big doubters still exist", and Di Qingshu was the biggest threat to the imperial court. At the peak of this suspicion and doubt, rumors arose, some people said that Di Qing's dog head was growing horns, some people said that Di Qing's residence had a strange light at night, and even Jingshi Fa Shui, Di Qing avoided Xiangguo Temple, which was also considered to be an action to seize the throne. In August of the first year of Jiayou (1056), Di Qing, who had only been a privy envoy for 4 years, was finally dismissed, but because he had no fault, he was added to the title of prime minister {Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi}, and the folk called "from a soldier to a marshal, from cloth to a prime minister", out of Chenzhou, and left Beijing.

After arriving in Chenzhou, the imperial court was still not at ease, and sent envoys every half a month, called Fu and question, but in fact surveillance. At this time, Di Qing had been made panicked by rumors, and every time the messenger came, he had to "be in doubt all day", lest he have another disaster, and in less than half a year, he became ill and died of depression. This 49-year-old generation of famous generals who had galloped on the battlefield, fought bloodily, and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, did not fall in the flying arrows, stained the battlefield with blood, and shrouded in horse leather, but died in the persecution of suspicion and rejection.

This is the characteristic of the literati, whether it is the surrender faction, the peace faction, whether it is the new party or the old party, they are always inextricable, but they can always be external at critical moments, so Yue Fei also hung up later. Yue Fei's death was not so much framed by the surrender faction, but rather a joint framing by the surrender faction and the main battle faction.

During his lifetime, Di Qing was regarded as a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and he wanted to pull it out quickly, he died unjustly, but he was courteous and respected, "The emperor mourns, gives the order, and gives Wuxiang."

When people are alive, they refuse to give a little tolerance, the so-called famous ministers, wise men, are like vicious dogs on the Internet crimes, and if they can't find the crimes, they don't need to use celestial phenomena, in short, you don't need a reason to kill you; But after he dies, he will tout it again, as if he is a savior.

The reason is simple, the dead have withdrawn from the competition, and are naturally tolerant of the dead; And respecting the dead is often more valuable than respecting the living.

As the poem goes, "The living are not as fragrant as the dead!" ”

Di Qing's death caused too much harm.

Di Qing has good conduct, impeccable character, and outstanding military achievements, but he did not win the respect of the court, but made things difficult and embarrassed everywhere, and even a prostitute dared to mock him.

No matter how good it is, is the battle function better than Di Qing?

With a good character, can you be better than Di Qing?

Loyal to the emperor, can he compare to Di Qing?

It's not comparable! An almost perfect military general ends up like this. What else does it mean to be a military general?

Di Qing's experience tells all generals that military generals have no dignity, no matter how good and excellent they are, even if they die on the battlefield, they are still lowly in the eyes of those scholars, and they are still a piece of stinking shit.

In that case, why do you need to have a good character? Why build up merit? Why be loyal to the emperor?

As a result, gradually the generals began to give up on themselves, began to become faithless, began to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, began to be greedy for life and death, began to eat empty salaries, and began to become scoundrels......

After Di Qing, there is no better general; After Yue Fei, there are no more famous generals.

As a military general, you have to fight on the battlefield all the time, and you may still be able to see the sun today, but you won't be able to see the moon tomorrow. In this precarious situation, they just want to be respected, to be dignified, and after making war exploits, someone praises them; When you get results, someone appreciates.

Instead of just making war exploits, it attracted a group of unwarranted impeachments and a group of false scoldings.

How chilling is that!

It's like a child who gets good grades in the exam and returns home happily, but his parents slap him and scold, how hurtful this is!

…………

Thinking back on this period of history, Zhao Pu's heart ached.

In later generations, the army was the most popular industry, and in red China, the world was proud to be a soldier. In some areas, there is still a limit on the number of people to be a soldier, there is no certain relationship, there is no certain back door, and it seems that it is not enough to be qualified to be a soldier. How can it be like this strange era, the status of soldiers is so inferior to this status.

Everything is unbearable.

"It's not that there is a lack of famous generals, but that the system is not good!" Zhao Pu secretly said in his heart that Wang Yan, Wang Shouxin, and Li Pojun were just good generals, and they were still several levels away from famous generals, and they were several streets away from the marshal who coordinated the overall situation. Relying on the original team of the Bazi Army, if you want to fight against these cattle such as Wan Yan Hu, Wan Yan Sticky Han, Wan Yan Lou Room, etc., it will definitely not last a few rounds.

In today's plan, there is no time to recruit new troops and train strong troops, and only by adopting extraordinary methods can we enhance combat effectiveness.

With the help of this actual combat exercise, the purpose is to announce to those warriors: The troubled times are coming, the era of warriors is coming, and the era of grievances has passed.

PS: The corpse mountain is full of white bones, and the lonely city of ten thousand deaths is not willing to surrender. Message to passers-by to cover their noses, the living are not as fragrant as the dead.
