Yue Fei, as a national hero in the history of our country, was y admired by Chinese people of all races for his loyalty to his country. He wrote the ancient masterpiece "Man Jiang Hong" under the sad and angry mood of going out on the northern expedition and failing to fulfill his ambition (angry hair, leaning over the fence, the rain breaks...). Lifting up his eyes, he looked up to the sky and wailed with great vigor. Thirty years of fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon. Don't wait to see what happens when you're a young man, you'll be sad. The shame of Jingkang has not yet been averted; when will the hatred of the ministers be extinguished? When will the hatred of my son be extinguished? I will drive a long cart and break through the Helan Mountains. I will eat the flesh of the captives and drink the blood of the Huns with laughter and thirst. I'm going to start all over again. I'm going to clean up the old mountains and rivers and face the Heavenly Palace.") It is still a great work of morale-boosting.

Anti-Golden History

Yue Fei was born in a tenant farmer's house in Tangyin (present-day Tangyin County, Henan Province), Xiangzhou (present-day Anyang) in the Northern Song Dynasty, and during his youth, he encountered a large-scale war of plunder waged by the Jin female aristocrats against the Song Dynasty. He witnessed the tragic historical facts before and after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people of the fallen areas of the Central Plains breathed the same, and there is a resolute resistance to the female Genghis Khan national oppression, recovery of the homeland, the unification of the motherland's strong desire and demand. The end of the Northern Song Dynasty, by the national oppression of the Han, Khitan, Bohai, Xi and other ethnic groups, "hatred of the Golden State, deep in the marrow", have automatically organized resistance. From the twelfth century and twenties, the north and south of the Yellow River, between the two Huaihuai, set off a fierce national war against the Jin Dynasty. Yue Fei and the famous anti-Jin generals Zongze, Han Shizhong and other together, standing in the forefront of the struggle against Jin.

The Northern Song Dynasty Xuanhe four years, Zhending Xuanfu Liu quality to recruit brave gathering, Yue Fei should be recruited, but soon that is because his father Yue and sick, back to his hometown of Tangyin County. 1126 winter, Yue Fei in the city of Siangzhou for the third time to join the army, return to Liu Hao army. In the winter of 1126, Yue Fei joined the army of Liu Hao for the third time in Xiangzhou City and returned to Liu Hao's army. Liu Hao ordered Yue Fei to recruit Jixian, and Yue Fei lived up to his expectation and surrendered Jixian and his subordinates. As a result, Yue Fei was rewarded with the post of Chengxinlang (承信郎). In December, 1127, King of Kang received a letter from Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty to open a military headquarters in Xiangzhou. Zhao Jiu was the marshal of Hebei army and horses, Chen Cui was the marshal, and Wang Boyan and Zong Ze were the vice marshals. Under the Marshal's Office, there were five armies: front, back, center, left and right, of which Liu Hao was the commander of the front army. Yue Fei belonged to Liu Hao's front army. According to the order of the Wax Book, the mission of the Marshal House of the King of Kang was to rush to Tokyo (present-day Kaifeng) with all speed to relieve the siege of the capital. Yue Fei was ordered to lead 300 iron horsemen to Ligudu to reconnoiter, and met and fought with the Jin soldiers and defeated them. In April 1127, Jin destroyed Northern Song Dynasty and took Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the royal family back to the north. In May, King Zhao Ji of Kang (i.e. Emperor Gaozong of Song) succeeded to the throne in Nanjing, which was known as the Southern Song Dynasty. In the early days, Emperor Gaozong advocated the recovery of lost territories, and employed a large number of generals to fight in the war, including Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was firmly opposed to peace, and advocated fighting to the end. Jianyan first year, Zhao Gong on the throne, Yue Fei wrote a letter to the effect that: "His Majesty has been a great treasure, the gods of the earth and grain, has enough to cut down the enemy's plans, and the king's forces set up, they say I am weak, it is appropriate to take advantage of its slack to hit the. Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan generation can not be restored by the Sacred Will, by the car increasingly south, I fear that insufficient Department of the hope of the Central Plains. I wish Your Majesty to take advantage of the enemy's cave is not solid, personally rate six troops north, then the generals for gas, the Central Plains can be restored." The Song Emperor did not take Yue Fei's advice and dismissed him for overstepping his authority. After that, Yue Fei went to the north and joined the army of Zhang Shuo, the Hebei Recruiting Commissioner, and borrowed "the eighth grade Xiuwulang" to act as the commander of the Chinese army. Zhang appreciated Yue Fei, and soon promoted Yue Fei to the rank of "Wujinglang of the Seventh Grade", and served as the commander of the army. In September of the first year of Jianyan (1127), Zhang ordered Yue Fei to join Wang Yan's army to fight against Jin in the north. Yue Fei was brave and resourceful in battle, and defeated the Jin soldiers several times, which boosted his reputation. However, Wang Yan was conservative and cowardly, so Yue Fei could only fight alone, and refused to help when Yue Fei was short of food. Yue Fei knew that he was in conflict with Wang Yan, so he returned to Zong Ze and became the commander of the Re-guard Department. After Zongze's death, Du Chong replaced him and Yue Fei was reinstated. Three years, Du Chong will return to Jiankang, Yue Fei advice: "the size of the Central Plains can not be abandoned, this time a foot, this place is not I have, he wants to take back, not hundreds of thousands of people can not." The company's business is not a business, but it is a business, and it is a business.

Du Chong guarded Jiankang, the gold army and the rebels Li Cheng in the Wujiang River, Du Chong closed the door. Yue Fei sobbed and asked to see the division, Du Chong does not come out. Jin army then by the Majiadu river, Du Chong sent Yue Fei, etc. to meet the battle, all the generals are routed, only Fei force fight. After Du Chong surrendered to the Jin, all the generals more plagiarism, but Yue's army in the fall without offense. Wuzhu tend to Hangzhou, Yue Fei to attack to the realm of Guangde, six battles were victorious, captured the enemy general Wang Quan, captured more than 40 rebel leaders. Yue Fei persuade Wang Quan, is meant for their own use. Yuejia army stationed in Zhongcun, the army lack of food, the generals would rather starve, but never disturb the people. The gold registered soldiers said to each other, "This Yue grandfather army." Scramble to surrender.

1139 (Shaoxing nine years), Yue Fei in Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei) heard that the Song and Jin and the agreement will be reached, immediately wrote a letter to express opposition, declared that "the Jin people can not be trusted, and good can not be relied upon", and directly attacked the Minister Qin Hui planning, ill-intentioned surrender activities, so that ".... Qin Hui (hold hate)". After the peace agreement, the high emperor zhao jong ordered a general amnesty, the civil and military ministers big reward. However, the edict was issued three times, Yue Fei refused to accept the reward of the title of Kai Fu Yitong San Si (a rank) and the grant of 3,500 households of cognac. In his resignation, he bitterly expressed his opposition to peace: "Today's matter can be dangerous but not safe, can be worried but not congratulated." Later, Emperor Gaozong persuaded him, and Yue Fei accepted it. After Yue Fei on the table, "would like to set the strategy in full victory, the period of land in the two rivers, spitting Yan Yun, and ultimately want to revenge and repayment of the country." Gaozong did not adopt. Yue Fei temple kneeling in front of Qin Hui and others

1140 years (Shaoxing ten years) in May, Jin tore down the Shaoxing peace agreement, Wuzhu and so on in four ways to attack. Due to the lack of defense, the Song army retreating, the city fell one after another. Then Gao Zong Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Yue Fei and other divisions to meet the attack. Soon, they won great victories against Jin on both the eastern and western fronts, and recovered the lost territories one after another. Yue Fei waved his troops from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to carry out a sharp counterattack, and the time came for him to realize his ambition of recovering the Central Plains, which he had been preparing for all along.

Yue's army entered the Central Plains and was warmly welcomed by the people there. In July of that year, Yue Fei personally led a light cavalry stationed in Henan place, and Jin Wuzhu 15,000 elite cavalry in a fierce battle. Yue Fei led his generals to attack the enemy and defeated the Jin army's "Iron Futu" and "Cornered Horses", which led to a great defeat of the Jin Wooden Warriors. Yue Fei general Yang Zaixing, single rider into the enemy line, want to capture Jin Woodruff alive, but unfortunately did not find, hand to kill thousands of enemies, mistakenly into the small Shanghe River, was shot to dozens of arrows by the Jin soldiers, brave and courageous. Yuejia army generals have "guard death without going" fighting style, the enemy to the mountains and seas of vigor, but also can not be shaken Yuejia army lineup. After the great victory at a reasonable price, Yue Fei took advantage of the victory to march to Zhuxianzhen (only forty-five miles away from Bianjing, the main camp of the Jin army), Jin Woodruff gathered 100,000 troops to resist, and was beaten by Yue Fei again. Yue Fei's northern expedition to the Central Plains, a breath of recovery of Yingchang, Caizhou, Chenzhou, Zhengzhou, place, Zhu Xianzhen, eliminated the vital forces of the Jin army, the Jin army army shaken, Jin Woodruff was ready to retreat from Kaifeng overnight. South Song anti-Jin struggle has a fundamental turnaround, and then step forward, fallen more than ten years of the Central Plains. Can be expected to recover. Yue Fei excitedly said to the generals: "straight to the Huanglongfu, and you drink!" The gold army issued a "easy to shake the mountain, shake the Yuejia army difficult" lament.

At the moment of the glorious victory in the war against the Jin Dynasty, the court even twelve gold medals (red lacquer and gold lettering wooden cards), Yue Fei, "the measures of the division". In either class division, or lost division of the unfavorable situation, Yue Fei know that this is the power of the ministers with the order of the chaos; but in order to save the strength of the gold, had to endure the pain of the division. Yue Fei said indignantly; "ten years of work, waste in one! The counties, one day all rest! Social funny rivers and mountains, difficult to revitalize! Qiankun world, no way back again!" Yue Fei's fight against the Jin Dynasty, to this point was forced to interrupt. Yuejia army division, longing for the king's division of the north of the Central Plains of the father and mother of brothers, blocking the road to mourn. Yue Fei in order to protect the lives and property of the people, intentionally threatened to cross the river tomorrow, scared Jin Woodruff abandoned the city overnight and fled north, ready to cross the Yellow River to the north, so that Yue Fei was able to comfortably organize a large number of people in Henan to move south to the Xianghan area, only to withdraw from the Central Plains. At this time, there is a shameless scholar, riding on horseback to catch up with Jin Wuzhu buckle horse and advice: "Prince (Wuzhu) do not go, the capital can be defended, Yue Shao Bao soldiers and retreat." Jin Wuzhu and the whole army back to Kaifeng, effortless, and occupied the Central Plains.

Yue Fei returned to Lin'an, immediately caught in the net set by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others. 1141 (Shaoxing eleven years), he was falsely accused of "conspiracy", was imprisoned in Lin'an Da Lisi (the original site is in Hangzhou, near the bridge of the small car). The imperial inspector, Wan Hou Seol (万候卨), personally interrogated and tortured Yue Fei to force him to confess. At the same time, between the Song and Jin governments, is stepping up the planning of the second peace conference, both sides regard the resistance as a thorn in the side, Jin Wuzhu even fierce look wrote to Qin Hui: "must kill Yue Fei and then can be and." In the internal and external two evil forces under the attack, Yue Fei righteous, bright, loyal to the country. From him, Qin Hui gang could not find any evidence of rebellion against the court, Han Shizhong questioned Qin Hui face to face, Qin Hui evasive "the body of the matter is not necessary (maybe there)." Han Shizhong on the spot to refute: "Moshuyu 'three words, how to serve the world?" Shaoxing eleven years of the lunar new year's eve, the high emperor ordered to give Yue Fei died in Lin'an Da Lisi, at the age of thirty-nine. Yue Fei general Zhang Xian, son Yue Yun was also beheaded at the city gate. Yue Fei, the national hero, in the "trumped-up" charges, died of injustice. Before his death, he wrote on the confession, "the sky is clear, the sky is clear" eight big words. This is the cry of grief!

Yue Fei was killed, but his performance is indelible. It is he, expressed the requirements of the oppressed nation, adhere to the noble national moral character, in the conditions of the situation of danger, insisted on the just struggle against the Jin Dynasty, and know the love of the people's resistance to the Jin Dynasty, united resistance to the Jin Dynasty military and civilian together, to preserve half of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that the people of South China from the ravages of the Jin Dynasty rulers, so as to preserve the highly developed feudal economy and culture of China, and to enable it to continue to develop forward. Yue Fei deserves to be an outstanding national hero in China's history.

After Yue Fei was killed, Lin'an righteous Kui Shun, negative body across the city, hastily buried in the nine curved series of shrines. In order to facilitate future identification, Kui Shun will Yue Fei wear the jade ring tied to the body under the waist, two orange trees planted in front of the grave. During the Qing Daoguang period (1821-1850), due to the restoration of Yue Fei's temple tomb under Qixia Ling, the first burial place of Yue Fei was traced, and the original Yue's grave was finally found next to the red paper dyeing workshop in the Biantan Lane under the Screw Mountain of Zong'an Bridge in Hangzhou, and the Zhongxian Temple was constructed in 1876 (Guangxu II), which is commonly known by Hangzhou people as the Zhongxian Temple. In 1876 (Guangxu two years), here to build "Zhongxian Temple", Hang people popularly known as "Lao Yue Temple".

Yue Fei died twenty years later, that is, in June 1162 (Shaoxing thirty-two May) Song Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, ordered in July to give Yue Fei vindicated, recovered to the official, in order to rites of burial.

Yue Fei character

One: integrity

clothing - the family wore coarse cloth clothes, his wife Li once wore a silk dress, Yue Fei said: "The Empress and all the Princesses in the north (Jingkang disaster was captured by the Jin soldiers) living a hard life, you since you with the I share the sweet **** bitter, do not silk clothes." Since then, Li has never worn damask in her life.

Food - and soldiers with the same example, the troops are difficult to supply, it is "the lowest with the soldiers with the same food". Once entertained by the local officials, ate "sour stuffing" (a kind of pasta similar to buns) this in the officials and rich merchants seem to be very common food, marveled: "There is such a delicious food." I brought it back to enjoy it with my family***.

Living - thatched military tents, and soldiers with the same sweet **** suffering. Gao Zong once wanted to build a mansion for Yue Fei in Hangzhou, Yue Fei resigned and said, "The northern captives have not yet been destroyed, why should I have a home?"

Property - the Southern Song generals are rich, Zhang Jun for anti-theft, casting one thousand two a big silver ball, called "nothing to be done", piled up the big house, after retirement, there are still 600,000 quintals of rental rice income per year. And Yue Fei was killed when the copied, the total family property is only three thousand Guan (about two thousand silver), and which contains thousands of linen and thousands of quintals of grain and rice, apparently also prepared for the army.

Rewards -- During the war, the Southern Song Dynasty rewarded the army very generously, Yue Fei never took a penny, and all of them were distributed to the soldiers. Once a general embezzled the bounty and was beheaded.

Two: strict with the law, thick to treat people

In addition to their own frugality and simplicity, hard work and motivation, Yue Fei on the children's education is very strict. Require them to do their homework every day, they must go down to labor. Unless the holiday, no drinking. Song time, there is "any son of grace", the higher the grade of the official, the children can enjoy the higher rank, the more often. Yue Fei encouraged his sons to "make their own achievements", and only used the "En Example" once, for Zhang Zongben, the son of Zhang Sho, an old superior who was persecuted to death by Qin Hui. Yue Yun repeatedly made special honors (many battles in the "merit first"), Yue Fei, but many times hidden from reporting. For this reason, Zhang Jun said: "Yue Hou avoided favor and glory a to this, clean is also clean, but not for the public also!" (Yue Hou avoided honor to this point, clean certainly is clean, but not necessarily just) Yue Fei replied: "Father's education son, how can you blame the near success?" (A father teaches his son, how can he let the child have the idea of quick success?) . He also said, "If I can correct myself before I can correct things, and if I can rule people before I can rule them, if I make my ministers and men subject to rewards without merit, then it is that I can no longer correct myself and rule myself, so how can I lead people?"

The people of Pious City had disturbed the carriage of Empress Dowager Meng when they rioted, and after being pacified by Yue Fei, Gaozong secretly ordered the city to be slaughtered, and Yue Fei risked his life by pleading for leniency repeatedly, preserving a city of the old and the young.

Three: order out of the mountain, reward and punishment clearly

"Freezing to death, not demolish the house, starve to death, not to fight captivity", is the Yuejia army slogan, but also a true reflection. Damage to crops, impede farming, buy and sell unfairly ...... chopped! In ancient times, the decapitation of those who do not order, many armies do, claiming that the damage to crops and trade unfair chopping is also quite a lot, but really do, I'm afraid that only the Yuejia Army a. So wherever the Yuejia Army goes, it is the Yuejia Army, the Yuejia Army. So where the Yuejia Army, the people are not happy to watch, "raise their hands and forehead, feeling adoration to cry"

Strict military discipline, but also a strong sense of warmth: pawns sick and wounded, Yue Fei personally caressing ask; pawns and families in difficulty, so that the relevant institutions more gifts of silver and silk; generals and soldiers sacrificed, generous pensions, but also "! to the son of his daughter" (after the sacrifice of the generals only remaining orphaned daughter no one to take care of, Yue Fei let his son to marry her), Li's also often condolences to the widows of the generals. Such a clear distinction between reward and punishment officers and soldiers of the army, naturally, "easy to shake the mountain, shake the Yuejia army difficult."

Four: do not indulge in female sex

South Song generals, only Yue Fei insisted on a wife, and never go to the green house indulgence. Wu step had spent two thousand kan to buy a famous scholar's family (scholar's family) daughter to give Yue Fei, Yue Fei to screen cover asked: "My family are wearing cloth, eat coarse food, if you can with the sweet and sour, please stay, otherwise, I dare not stay you." The woman heard snickering, obviously unwilling. Yue Fei then sent back. The generals advised that not to hurt the feelings of Wu Fei, Yue Fei said: "Now the national shame has not yet snowed, is not the time for generals to be comfortable and enjoy themselves?" The company's website is a great source of information about the company's products and services, and the company's website is a great source of information about its products and services.

Fifth: mother to filial piety

Mother sick, "taste medicine into the bait", personally serve; mother died, barefoot coffin nearly a thousand miles. Yue Fei thought: "If you can not do the way of the relatives, outside how to love the Lord's loyalty?" (In the home can not yet filial piety parents, how can you be loyal to the king to serve the country?)

Sixth: literary talent, Confucian general style

Yue Fei's literary talent needless to say, dozens of poems are enough to illustrate the problem. In addition, he loved to read, calligraphy is quite good, people said "room has Yefei", "word Shang Su style" (Yefei, describing the collection of books is very large; Su style, Su Dongpo calligraphy is very good, Yue Fei learn is Su style). He also loved to socialize with scholars and literati, and "all of his contacts were high priests".

Seven: strong martial arts, martial arts strategy extraordinary

Yue Fei is very good at all kinds of weapons, when he was young, gun skills on the "county invincible", but also reached the highest archery record in the Song Dynasty: three stone. He was also the highest archery record of the Song Dynasty: three stones.

As a commander in chief, Yue Fei's strategy and tactics are even more brilliant. Strategically, for the Jin soldiers strong force and low means of rule of the people fighting against the characteristics, he put forward the policy of the Jie Lian Heshuo, and achieved excellent results. Tactical use of flexible. Such as the flexible use of foot, riding characteristics, broke Li Cheng superior force; such as the characteristics of the Yang Missy army unpopular, to trap, caress combination, the results of the Song army repeatedly attacked the Yang Missy water army, in front of the Yuejia army is unbearable, a drum and broken; such as the use of Jin's internal contradictions, to kill Liu Yu by the countermeasures, a heavy blow to the pseudo-Qi regime......

< p>Eight: the body first, line like a mirror

Yue Fei until the last battle, are first. When the official position is not high, needless to say, after the promotion of Tongtai Township, in order to cover the brigade and the people across the river, personally led the rearguard dead refused to South Ba Bridge, blocking the only way to the Jin soldiers, Yue Fei body was dozens of traumas, Yue's army rearguard died countless battles; until his death, the last battle: placebo battle, but also personally led the iron cavalry protruded in front of the formation, the training Huojian fear of failure, to go up to discourage: "Your Excellency for the country's important minister, the safety and security of the system, and the country's security and safety of the system. He was afraid of losing the battle, so he came forward to discourage him: "Your Excellency is an important minister of the state, his safety is at stake, why do you take the enemy lightly? Yue Fei replied, "I don't know!" Seeing the commander in chief charging the battlefield, Yue's army was greatly boosted by morale, and the Jin soldiers were defeated in one fell swoop.

Yue Fei first put forward "civil officials do not love money, military officials do not cherish death, do not worry about the world is not peaceful", can be called the behavior of feudal society officials model. He is clean and avoid credit, straight talk, do not indulge in female sex, literary style, strict military rule, outstanding achievements, loyal to the country ......

Early experience

Sand as paper, (tree) branches as a pen, (withered branches and leaves burning) fire as a lamp, learning the skills. Legend has it that his mother-in-law tattooed four words on his back, "Be loyal to the country", so that he would remember the hatred of his country and his family. He once studied martial arts under the tutelage of Zhou Dong. He also likes to read Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Group Yue Family Army

Flying Temple Mural - Yue Family Army After capturing Jiankang Province, Yuanyan Zongbi personally led his main force to chase after Song Gaozong. Song Gaozong fled from Mingzhou by boat via the sea and took refuge in Wenzhou.

Wanyan Zongbi was unable to capture Song Gaozong alive after capturing Mingzhou, and decided to withdraw his troops after some looting. Using the Grand Canal, the Jin army transported the plundered goods to the north by ship, and all the way to conquer Xiuzhou, Pingjiangfu, Changzhou, and prepared to cross the border from Zhenjiangfu to the north. In March, Wanyan Zongbi was intercepted by more than 8,000 men of Han Shizhong's army at Huangtiandang and was trapped for 40 days. Because of a traitor's advice, the Jin army dug through the river to introduce the flotilla to the Yangtze River west of Jiankang City via Qinhuai River. Han Shizhong rushed to attack, but was repulsed by the Jin army's rockets.

Yue Fei in the meantime led the remnants of the army of the Tokyo Retaining Division to battle the Guangde army, winning all six battles and capturing more than 40 pseudo-generals, including Wang Quan. Garrison Guangde army of Zhongcun, military food is exhausted, the generals endure hunger, but do not dare to disturb the people. In the early spring of the fourth year of Jianyan's reign (1130), the governor of Yixing, Qian Chen (chén, pronounced shèn,zhōng), informed Yue Fei that the county's grain stock was enough for 10,000 people to eat for ten years, and that he was welcome to lead an army to protect the county's borders. In February, Yue Fei marched into Yixing, and was quartered in Zhangzhu Town. In Yixing, Yue Fei surrendered a number of troops that were bandits in the area due to the political chaos, as well as the Hebei pseudo-military that was forcibly recruited by the Jin army. Yue Fei, himself a native of Hebei, treated the signing troops from Hebei and Hedong equally. The pseudo-armies spread the word that "This Yue Grandpa's army." Strive to come to surrender and attach.

In March, after plundering Xiuzhou and Pingjiangfu, the Jin army attacked Changzhou. Changzhou know Zhou Qi to detect this situation, sent Zhao Jiuling (is once in Zhangshuo's Hebei Recruitment Department and Yue Fei **** thing acquaintances) to Yixing County to ask Yue Fei to come to defend Changzhou. But before Yue Fei departed, Zhou Qi had already followed Zhao Jiuling to Yixing County and abandoned Changzhou. Together with Zhou Qi and Zhao Jiuling, Yue Fei led his troops northward and recaptured Changzhou in four battles. He also tailed and pursued the attack on the east of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and was again victorious. At this time, the former Du Chong under the commander, has become a cutthroat bandit Qi Fang captured Guangde army, Yue Fei busy rushed back to Yixing County, with more than 1,000 cavalry to go to Guangde army, but Qi Fang has gone west to attack Xuanshou.

Song Emperor Gaozong had already fled from the sea back to Yuezhou, and appointed Zhang Jun as the Jiangdong Road Control Ambassador of the West Road of Zhejiang, and "all the generals are subject to the section" to recapture Jiankang. Zhang Jun's own troops were the direct troops of Song Gaozong's original Hebei Military Marshal's Office, and he only sent Yue Fei's non-direct troops under the command of Zongze and Du Chong's Tokyo Reunion Department as the vanguard to attack Jiankang, which was guarded by the Jin soldiers. On April 25th, Yue Fei won a great victory in the first battle at Qingshui Pavilion, which was located 30 miles south of Jiankang, and the Jin soldiers were killed in 15 miles of battlefield, beheaded one hundred and seventy-five heads of the Jin women who wore gold and silver rings on their ears, and captured forty-five Jin women, Bohai troops, and Han'er signing troops alive. At the beginning of May, Yue Fei arrived at Qing Shui Ting twelve miles west of Niutou Mountain camp, the night so that hundreds of death squads dressed in black to mix into the gold camp disturbed, the gold soldiers surprised, attacked each other killed and wounded.

Wanyan Zongbi retreated to Longwan Town (Jing'an Town, Jing'an), 15 miles northwest of Jiankang City, on May 10th. Yue Fei sped to the new town with 300 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and greatly defeated them. On May 11, Wanyan Zongbi retreated from Longwan to Xuanhua Town in Liuho County, Zhenzhou, across the Yangtze River. Yue Fei chased him to Longwan Town, realizing the last wish of the veteran general of the Western Army, Seed Shidao, when Jin first attacked Song one year before the "Jingkang disaster" four years ago, "half crossing the river and inviting to attack the Jin army", and completely annihilated all the Jin army left on the south bank. Jin army suffered heavy losses, female Zhenren was beheaded by "bald hair hanging ring of the head without worrying about 3,000 people", a thousand chief Liuguo and other more than 20 senior officers were captured, which only in the town of Longwan, including eight female Zhenren captured more than three hundred Jin soldiers. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to give the Jin army a heavy blow, so much so that Wanyan Zongbi back to the north to see an acquaintance on the "hold each other sobbing, told to cross the river hardship", this year, Jin's royal brother Wanyan Shiyi also died in the will of the Southern Song Dynasty rapid growth of the war power to express concern: "I am worried about, Southern Song Dynasty in recent years, the military force of the majestic, with a mind to I'm very worried about this."

In late May, Yue Fei personally escorted the prisoners of war to Yuezhou, where he had his first audience with Song Emperor Zhao Gong. Yue Fei first met his superior Zhang Jun, who informed Yue Fei that the court wanted to send him to guard Raozhou (present-day Boyang County, Jiangxi Province) on the eastern road of Jiangnan, which Yue Fei thought was inappropriate and reported, "Jiankang is a key place, it is appropriate to select soldiers to defend, but still benefit from the soldiers to guard the Huai, arch protection of the heart." Song Gaozong Jia Na.

Fan Zongyin recommended Yue Fei to the Song Emperor as the Tongzhou town commissioner and know Taizhou. Yue Fei resigned, and was reappointed to the east of Huainan Road, a heavy difficult to make. At this time the Jin army attacked Chuzhou, Song Gaozong edict Zhang Jun aid. Zhang Jun's own troops are Song Gaozong's original troops and horses Marshal General's Office of the direct line of troops, resigned not to, and sent Yue Fei led by the original Tokyo to stay in the Department of the non-direct line of troops as a vanguard to go, and ordered Liu Guangshi to send troops to aid Yue Fei. Yue Fei tun three duns, soon arrived in Chengzhou, three battles three victories, kill Gao Taibao, captured more than seventy female real chiefs. But Liu Guangshi and other did not follow up, Yue Fei at this time has not set up their own "Yuejia Army", the division of the lone force can not save Chuzhou. Song Gaozong edict Yue Fei still guard Tongzhou, Taizhou, have the will to guard on guard, if not, but to protect the people with sandbar, waiting for an opportunity to cover up can be. Yue Fei to Taizhou no danger to rely on, retreat to protect Chai Hui, battle in Nanba Bridge, defeated the attacking Jin army. After this, Yue Fei has more than 10,000 people, began to establish the so-called "Yuejia Army".

In July of the first year of Shaoxing (1130), the Song court reorganized the regular army because the original "forbidden army" had been broken up by the war. Zhang Jun's department was organized as the "Shenwu right army", Han Shizhong's department was organized as the "Shenwu left army", both of them were the commander. Wang? The department of Wang Shizhong was organized as "Shenwu Front Army", and the department of Chen Sigong was organized as "Shenwu Rear Army", and both of them were the commanders. Yue's army in Zhang Jun's department, the army number is named "Shenwu right vice army", Yue Fei is the commander, stationed in Hongzhou. The troops and horses of Yan Xiaogong, the former commander of the Shenwu Right Vice-Army, were allocated to the Department of Pacification of Jiangnan East Road, and the vacancy was filled by Yue Fei. In October, the Song court promoted Yue Fei to the rank of "Dafu" (親卫大夫), "Jianzhou" (建州观察使), and "Yaoxian" (遥郡观察使) with the fifth rank. In December, Xin Qizong, the commander of the "Shenwu Vice Army", was dismissed for his ineffective suppression of the Fan Ruwei Rebellion in Fujian, and Yue Fei's "Shenwu Right Vice Army" was renamed "Shenwu Vice Army" and promoted to the position of commander of the "Shenwu Vice Army". The name was changed to "Shenwu Vice-Army", and he was promoted to "Du".

Shaoxing two years (1132 years) at the end of the first month, Yue Fei was appointed as governor, and Jinghu East Road Pacifier, Governor, leading the army to Tanzhou. In February, Li Gang, the head of the main warring faction, was promoted to the position of Minister of Pacification of the Jinghu and Guangnan Roads, and Yue Fei and other generals were assigned to Li Gang's ministry[51] to crusade against Cao Cheng, a bandit on the eastern road of the lake. At that time, Yue's army had a strength of more than 12,000 men, Yue Fei stationed 2,000 men in Jizhou (present-day Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province) and attacked Cao Cheng's forces with the remaining 10,000 men. In the battle, Yue's army dominated, but Cao Cheng's general Yang Zaixing was exceptionally brave, first attacked into the camp of Yue's fifth general Han Shunfu, and cut off Han's arm and died, and then killed Yue Fei's younger brother, Yue yin yin yuetc. But Yang Zaixing was ultimately killed by Yue's army. However, Yang Zaixing was eventually captured by the Yuejia army, and was subdued by Yue Fei to become one of the famous generals of the Yuejia army in the future. Li Gang praised Yue Fei for his "strong age, seriousness in military management, and ability to make extraordinary achievements, which are rarely found in recent times", and asserted that he "will be a famous general in the middle of the rise in time". Leap in June, Yue Fei promoted three officials as a doctor of defense, Wuan army Chengxuan, still belongs to from the fifth rank. After the crushing of Cao Cheng, Yue's army doubled its strength to 23,000 to 4,000 men, about the same as Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and other armies.

In September of the third year of Shaoxing (1133), Yue Fei made his second pilgrimage to meet Emperor Gaozong of Song. Song Gaozong handwriting "loyal Yue Fei" four words, embroidered into a war flag, ordered Yue Fei in the use of troops traveling division as a big banner. He also appointed Yue Fei as the governor of Shu and Herb Prefecture on the western road of Jiangnan, merged the two troops of Li Shan, the governor of Herb Prefecture, and Fu Xuan, the governor of Jiang Prefecture, into the Yuejia Army, and merged the defenses of Shu and Herb Prefectures on the western road of Huainan into the defense area of Yue Fei. The number of Yue's army was also upgraded from "Shenwu Vice Army" to "Shenwu Rear Army", but Yue Fei's official title was changed from "Capital Commander" back to "Commander" because his seniority was still too low to be compared with "Shenwu Left Army" and "Capital Commander" Han Shixiang.

Yue Fei's official title was changed from commander in chief to commander in chief because he was not yet senior enough to be compared with Han Shizhong, commander in chief of the "Shenwu Left Army" and Zhang Jun, commander in chief of the "Shenwu Right Army".

A thousand years of injustice

Twelve gold medals

July 18, that is, Zhang Xian from Linying kill to Kaifeng, the first Banshi imperial edict delivered. Yue Fei in view of the prevailing situation of the war, wrote a letter against the division: "the qikan gold captive troops gathered in Tokyo, repeated defeats, the sharpness of the frustration, inside and outside the shock. Heard of the spies, the captives want to abandon their provisions, speed away across the river. Situation today, the hero to the wind, soldiers with life, time and personnel, strength and weakness have seen, work and dying, time is not coming, the opportunity is difficult to lose. I day and night to anticipate the familiar, but your majesty figure."

Separated by two or three days, Zhu Xianzhen has been, Wanyan Zongbi has fled Kaifeng, Yue Fei in one day to receive twelve with the gold sign sent by the division of the imperial edict. All of them are worded seriously, irrefutable emergency order, order the Yuejia army must return to Ezhou, Yue Fei himself went to "line in" Lin'an Palace to see the emperor. Song Gaozong issued twelve gold medals of time, about July 10 or so, that is, he got the July 2 restoration of the western capital of Henan Province not long after the report.

Yue Fei received such a ridiculous order and wept with indignation, "Ten years of work, wasted once." However, friendly forces have retreated, Yue's army is difficult to support, had to order the division, the people heard the news blocked in front of Yue Fei's horse, crying that fear of the Jin soldiers counter-attack: "We wear incense pots, transporting grain and grass to meet the official army, the Jin people know it. Sanggong go, my generation no chewing." Yue Fei helpless, tearful take the imperial edict to show the people, said: "I shall not stay without authorization." Then cries shook the field. Yue Fei decided to stay in the army for five days, so that the local people to move south, "and thus the south of the people as the city, and urgently play to the Han on the six counties of idle land."

Yue Fei to the "line in" Lin'an Province of the road has gone most of the way, during the period constantly received Song Gaozong's edict, and Qin Hui to the three provinces, the Privy Council in the name of the province of Zha. Although the content is contradictory and upside down, (especially note that the historical materials that can be seen now are destroyed and altered by Qin Hui's party, the direct evidence of the key details of the interruption of the Northern Expedition is afraid that it is impossible to preserve.) The last is still make Yue Fei "speed into the audience", "to go to the line in the matter". When Yue Fei heard the news of the defeat of the Song army in the Central Plains, he could only sigh: "The gained counties, one day all rest! The countryside, difficult to revitalize! Qiankun world, no reason to recover!" As a result, Yue Fei's fourth northern expedition failed for political reasons.

Windsor Pavilion "Mushu"

After that, Yue Fei father and son by Qin Hui to rebel to be arrested and interrogated, although the evidence can not be found and no trial results, Zhao, Qin finally decided to kill Yue Fei father and son and Zhang Xian, and Qin Hui created the invention of "Mushu! Qin Hui invented the crime of "Moushou" [Han Shizhong questioned Qin Hui face to face, and Qin Hui was evasive and said, "The matter is Moushou (maybe there is, not necessarily not)"]. On New Year's Eve, January 27, 1142, the 29th day of the 12th lunar month of the 11th year of the Shaoxing reign, the famous general Yue Fei, his son Yue Yun, and his general Zhang Xian were killed in the Windstorm Pavilion of the Da Li Temple in Hangzhou. Yue Fei was killed before, in the wind storm Pavilion, wrote down eight last words: "the sky day, the sky day".

After Yue Fei was killed, the jailer Kui Shun risked his life to carry Yue Fei's body out of Hangzhou city and bury it at the Qiantang Gate next to the Nine Quarters Shrine. Kui Shun died before, and told his son, and said: Yue Marshal loyal to the country, the future will give him a day of justice! Yue Fei 21 years after the injustice, Shaoxing thirty-two years (1153), Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty, ready for the Northern Expedition, they issued an edict to vindicate Yue Fei, posthumous title of King of E, posthumous title of Wumu, Zhongwu, and buried in the West Lake Qixia Ridge, that is, Hangzhou, West Lake, "SONG Yue E Wang Tomb," and set up a temple in Wuchang, Hubei, the forehead of the name of the faithful, repair the history of the Song Dynasty, biographies.
