(1236— 1279) was a famous anti-Yuan minister in the Southern Song Dynasty. Han nationality, the word Junshi, is from Changjianli, Yancheng, Chuzhou (now Jianhu, Jiangsu). At first, Bao You was a scholar. He served as Li Tingzhi's chief of staff, and later served as assistant minister of does. After the fall of Lin 'an, he went to Fuzhou and became Emperor Zhaoyun with Zhang Shijie. After his death, he also held Zhao Min, served as emperor in Lushan Mountain (now Xinhui South, Guangdong Province), and continued to organize anti-Yuan activities. In the second year of Xiangxing (1279), he was defeated by the Yuan Army, and the negative emperor threw himself into the sea and died. There is a collection of Lu Zhonglie's public legacy.
Li Tingzhi was appointed as the ambassador of Huaidong, and he was appointed as the Senate. In the first year of Deyou in Song Gongdi (1275), the Yuan army descended along the Yangtze River, and the situation in Yangzhou was tense. Most of his family members fled, and Lu Xiufu and others stuck to their posts and did not waver. Li Tingzhi recommended him to the imperial court, but he was transferred to Lin 'an. Deyou two years, served as assistant minister does. After Empress Dowager Song Gongdi surrendered, he and General Su Liuyi retreated to Wenzhou. Soon, Chen, Zhang Shijie and others made King Yi emperor in Fuzhou, rebuilt the Song Court, served as a bachelor in Duanmingtang, and signed books for the Privy Council. Yuan soldiers entered Fujian, and Song Junchen sailed south to Guangdong. The following year, Guangzhou fell to Yuan, Song Ting moved to Jing 'ao (now under Nanda Island in Zhongshan County, Guangdong Province), and Chen fled to Zhancheng (now south-central Vietnam). At the beginning of the third year of Jingyan (1278), Zhao Min died and the ministers wanted to leave. Lu Xiufu encouraged them to make eight-year-old Wang Wei Zhao Min emperor again and move to Yashan (now Nanhai, Xinhui, Guangdong). Lu Xiufu remained as prime minister and was in charge of state affairs with Zhang Shijie. In the second year of Xiangxing (1279, the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty), Zhang Hongfan attacked the cliff mountain in Yuan Dynasty, and Song Jun was defeated. Lu Xiufu said to Zhao Min, "Emperor Deyou was humiliated. Your majesty can't humiliate him any more. " Resolutely lose the emperor and jump into the sea. There is a collection of works handed down from ancient times by Lu Zhonglie.
Prime Minister of Southern Song Dynasty in Crisis Time
At the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, when the empresses and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty bowed to the Yuan Dynasty and swallowed their words to survive, a large number of loyal ministers stood out in the burning land of the southeast coast. They wrote one magnificent poem after another with their lives. Lu Xiufu, who was ordered to face danger, is the representative of this desperate group.
Show off your edge; Ambition is hard to stretch.
Lu Xiufu was born in Duanping for three years (1236) and died in Xiangguang for two years (1279). Born in Yancheng, Chuzhou (now Yancheng, Jiangsu), he moved to Jingkou, Jiangnan (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) with his parents at the age of three. He has been very clever since he was a child. He studied in a rural school and was often praised by school teachers: "Xiufu is the only outstanding one among more than 100 Mongolian children." A little longer, I like reading books about patriotism for the people, and my thinking is becoming more and more agile. At the age of seven, I was able to write poetry: 19 was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and I was on the same list as Wen Tianxiang, leaving an epigram: "No one has died in life since ancient times, but I keep my heart in mind." Li Tingzhi, the commander-in-chief in charge of Huainan at that time, was famous for recruiting talents. When he learned that Xiufu was young and promising, he was hired to serve in his shogunate. Huainan was a place where talented people gathered in the world at that time, and was known as the "small court", so Lu Xiufu was like a duck to water here.
Few people can match Lu Xiufu's clever mind, but he is not proud of it. He is quiet and doesn't like publicity. Whenever those officials come to visit and the two sides talk happily, Lu Xiufu is the only one who is silent. Sometimes there is a banquet and wine at home, and Lu Xiufu sits at the table, reserved and solemn. Without saying a word, people think he is eccentric and inaccessible, so few people get along with him. However, Lu Xiufu's shrewdness, steadiness and ability won the appreciation and respect of Li Tingzhi. Even if the official position is promoted, you are not allowed to leave. In this way, Xiufu's position in the imperial court became higher and higher until he was in charge of the appropriate writing.
In the first year of Deyou (1275), the military and horses of the Yuan Dynasty attacked the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and the situation in the Huai and Huai regions became more urgent. Lee's shogunate fell apart and his aides resigned, but Lu Xiufu was fearless in the face of difficulties and regarded Li Tingzhi as dead. Li Tingzhi was deeply moved by his valuable character and thought he was a rare and loyal person. I reluctantly gave up my love and recommended him as a mainstay to the imperial court, the official assistant minister of rites.
At this time, the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was even worse. At that time, the Yuan Army was led by Lu, a rebel in the Song Dynasty, down the river. The generals along the Yangtze River are all Lu's songs. They hope the wind will fall. For example, Jiangzhou Zhifu Qian and Anqing Zhifu Fan successively entered the city to surrender. Jia Sidao, who had been afraid to go to war, was forced to go to war by himself because of the situation. Although he came to Wuhu, he didn't want to fight, but dreamed of peace. If you can't make peace, you must run away. Jia Sidao sent Sun Huchen to lead more than 70,000 infantry troops to Ding Jiazhou, Xia Gui crossed the river with 2,500 warships, and Jia Sidao personally led the rear troops to camp in Lugang, southwest of Wuhu. When the two sides were at war, Sun Huchen's qualifications and prestige were not enough to convince the public, so the attack on the Yuan Army did not strike back at all, and it soon became chaotic; It's in ruins Jia Shidao more panic, Song Jun from beginning to end. Song Jun was killed and drowned when the Yuan army chased him. The water was dyed red with blood, and all military equipment was acquired by the Yuan Army. The fiasco of Dingjiazhou and Lugang made Song Jun's main force suffer heavy losses.
Jia Sidao just started his career, and the DPRK was dominated by his confidants Wang Entropy and Chen. Although Lu Xiufu wrote many times, delivered a declamatory speech, and requested to go to the front to organize anti-Yuan, all of them were rejected. Unfortunately, Lu Xiufu had an empty ambition to serve the country, but he was blocked by traitors and could not display it. In March of this year, Bo Yan led the Yuan Army into Jiankang, threatening Lin 'an. When he heard about Lu Xiufu and other loyal ministers, he couldn't help admiring: "There were such loyal ministers in the Song Dynasty, but I didn't know how to reuse them. If I reuse them, will I still be here? "
After the defeat of the Battle of Lugang, Jia Sidao was dismissed from office and died in Mumian Temple in Zhangzhou, Fujian in September of that year. However, the fate of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is now irreversible.
When the Yuan army approached Lin 'an, the Southern Song court immediately fell into extreme chaos. As timid as a mouse, civilian commanders are always in a state of fear, jittery and anticlimactic. Liu, the left prime minister who was afraid of death, took the lead in abandoning his official position and fleeing. Six officials (officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals and workers) followed suit and left their hometowns. Privy Council officials in charge of military aircraft and border defense affairs, such as Wen Wo-weng and Nip, were afraid of being branded as chicken out, so they colluded with the supervisory organs and begged the suggestion to shirk the excuse of robbing bullets to dismiss them. However, they were afraid of the court's mercy to retain them, and often fled the capital without waiting for the book to be played. A few days later, there was a wind of "hanging the crown", and the Zhao Dynasty suddenly became "less and less horses and chariots in front of the door". Even when the emperor summoned the minister and ordered him to take over as Prime Minister Zuo, there were only six civil servants present.
Xie Daoqing, the 72-year-old queen regent, was guarding a six-year-old child-Song Gongzong Zhao Xian. Facing the unstable political situation, she is very worried. Helpless orphans and widows finally came up with countermeasures. In the name of the Xie family, she posted an imperial edict on the court to the effect that: "The Song Dynasty won the world for more than 300 years and has always been kind to scholars who read wisdom. Now I'm in trouble with the young emperor, and all the officials have turned a blind eye. No one has the wisdom to save the country. " The court officials neglected their duties, the state guards abandoned the imperial seal and lost the city, and the prime minister was in poor governance, so the unruly people cooperated with the outside world and plotted to escape at night. You claim to read sage books and understand things on weekdays, but you have made such a contemptuous scandal at a time when this country is in trouble. How can you be alive? After death, what qualifications do you have to meet the first emperor! The national law of the Song Dynasty has not changed, but it still exists. From now on, all civil and military officials who fulfill their duties will be promoted to two levels: if they abandon their officials in the face of difficulties, the censor will investigate and punish them severely. "
Empress Dowager Tai, who has always been arrogant and resourceful, came to China, and when there was nothing she could do, it was inevitable that she would call heaven and earth. Whether she lured officials with high salaries or threatened with torture, it didn't help to tell the ministers who had turned their backs on Germany. The imperial edict, which once made ministers respect each other, has now become an original paper, stuck on the wall of the imperial court and eroded by wind and rain.
The Empress Dowager Tai, who was trapped in internal and external difficulties, was frightened by the threat of force from the Yuan army, which was overwhelmed by Mount Tai. Finally, she agreed with the right-hand Prime Minister Chen to take the road of negotiation and begging for surrender. She first sent Liu Yue and other three people to Bo Yan camp, and offered to call my nephew or grandnephew and accept the humiliating conditions of money, demanding a truce and peace in the Yuan Dynasty. Bo Yan immediately refused. Later, he sent Liu, a military supervisor, to the camp to "serve" and promised to pay 252,000 silver and 250,000 silk horses every year, hoping to exchange this heavy price for the only corner of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court. Bo Yan refused to give in, but insisted that the Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty personally come forward to demand surrender. When the news came back to Lin 'an, Chen was afraid of being detained by the Yuan Army, sent to Dadu (Beijing) in the north, and fled to Wenzhou overnight, thus breaking the contract in the Southern Song Dynasty. Bo Yan was furious and ordered the Yuan Army to enter Gaoting Mountain, three miles outside Lin 'an, as a warning. Empress Dowager Tai appointed Wen Tianxiang as the right prime minister and special envoy of the Tang Dynasty to make peace with Bo Yan. But Wen Tianxiang was detained by Bo Yan. Empress Dowager Tai is helpless. She used the name of the little emperor Zhao Xian to "pay homage" to Yuan, automatically cut off the name of the emperor, renamed it "Lord of the country", and sent Yang Yingkui, the supervisor of the army, to the camp with the imperial edict of the Song Dynasty to hand over all the remaining rivers and mountains. Declare the complete end of the partial security situation in Jiangnan in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Before the Yuan Army entered Lin 'an, the stormy court of the Southern Song Dynasty made Zhao Gang, the king of Kyrgyzstan, the beneficial king, and appointed him as the provincial judge in Fuzhou (high official and low post). At the same time, Zhao Min, Xin Wang, was appointed as Wang Guang and ordered him to judge the whole state. When Lin 'an was about to fall, the two kings, escorted by Yang Zhen, a captain of Xu, left Beijing and went to Wenzhou via Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang). Bo Yan, who wanted to uproot the Song Dynasty, sent troops to recover it, but failed.
Iron clank, turn the tide.
After the fall of Lin 'an, some civil servants and military commanders in the Southern Song Dynasty who didn't want to submit to humiliation learned that wangyi and Wang Guang had arrived in Wenzhou, and they all went to defect with the feeling of making a comeback. At that time, Lu Xiufu came to Wenzhou. Subsequently, a water army led by Zhang Shijie also set sail. The flight of Chen's fleet happened to be parked at the Youth Olympic Games near Wenzhou. As a result, this group of important officials in the Song Dynasty are now gathered under the authority of two kings. Lu Xiufu, Chen, Zhang and others agreed to rebuild the imperial court and Gankun. Then, in the Jiangxin Temple in Wenzhou, Wang was appointed as the Grand Marshal and Deputy Marshal. At the same time, the publication of obituaries shows that loyal officials and righteous people everywhere are eager to work hard and recover the past. At this time, Empress Dowager Tai, who had become a prisoner, sent two eunuchs to lead hundreds of soldiers to Wenzhou to prepare for the return of the two kings to Lin 'an to lower the Yuan. Lu Xiufu and others refused to return, so they supported the two kings to go to sea and came to Fuzhou.
In the second year of Deyou (1276), on the first day of May, wangyi officially ascended the throne in Fuzhou and changed to Jingyan, so as to end the sect. At the same time, Wang Wei was created, and a cabinet headed by Chen, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu was formed, which rallied and revived. For the Southern Song Dynasty, the establishment of Fuzhou regime is the hope of its revival, but the hope is very slim. In the imperial court, although there are loyal ministers like Lu Xiufu who try their best to save the situation, there are more immoral and incompetent people like Chen.
At that time, the Fuzhou regime was called "going to the DPRK by sea" and it was just an exiled government. At the beginning of the establishment of this regime, ministers and servants could still work together, but conflicts soon occurred. Yang Liangjie, a consort, pretends to be a national uncle and "holds power in the palm". Zhang Shijie and Chen disagree; Wen Tianxiang was also excluded from the court because of his disagreement with Chen; Su Lieyi was suppressed and depressed; Lu Xiufu is even more ambitious, difficult to stretch, and is squeezed out by Chen everywhere. At first, Chen thought that Lu Xiufu "had been in the army for a long time and knew the military" and attached great importance to him. And Lu Xiufu "also praised carefully, all committed suicide". But soon, Lu Xiufu and Chen disagreed, and Chen instructed the remonstrator in Taiwan Province to impeach Lu Xiufu and dismiss him. Zhang Shijie was very dissatisfied when he learned about it. He said to Chen, "What time is it? Do you always fire people? " Chen recalled Lu Xiufu as a last resort. However, it can be seen that wangyi's exiled regime is powerless.
1 1 month, the yuan army attacked Fuzhou, and Zhang Shijie led170,000 loyalists and 300,000 militiamen to escort Duan Zong and Wang Wei to Dengzhou and sail to Quanzhou. At that time, the most powerful person in Quanzhou was Pu Shougeng, a wealthy businessman from Acarbo. This person lived in China for many years, and also obtained the position of ambassador of the Song Dynasty (responsible for inspecting foreign ships entering and leaving the port, collecting customs duties, purchasing imperial monopoly goods and managing foreign businessmen, etc.). He controls a large number of seagoing ships, monopolizes local maritime trade, bullies the market and makes illegal windfalls. After Duanzong and his party broke down in Quanzhou, Zhang Shijie, eager to expand the imperial power, ordered the seizure of Pu Shougeng's ships and assets, which angered Pu Shougeng, who was plotting to reduce the yuan, and accelerated his anti-Song movement. Because the DPRK was unable to entangle with it, it had to leave Quanzhou and go to Jiazimen, Huizhou (now Haifeng East Haikou, Guangdong) via Chaozhou. In September of the second year of Jingyan (1277), she moved to Repulse Bay (now Nanhai Island, Raoping, Guangdong). Lu Xiufu returned to the Privy Council to sign the book, and Queen Yang listened to the government and said, "I still call myself a slave when I talk to ministers." . Every season, when Lu Xiufu attended the court meeting, he was "just like standing up straight, just like ruling the court". Sometimes in court meetings, Xiufu would burst into tears and wipe his tears with his clothes, which made the ministers very sad. However, the Song Dynasty was still dying step by step. Although Wen Tianxiang, Li Fei and others fought extremely hard in the local area, most of them did nothing because of their own weakness.
Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu learned that the "maritime court" in the Southern Song Dynasty was not destroyed, and it still haunts the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong. He immediately ordered the fight against Chu, Hengli and Lu Shifang. To cross Yuling, I am busy with Wutai, Suodu, Pu Shougeng and Liu Shen. , and led the sailors into the sea, take a two-pronged approach to suppress the south. 1 1 month, Liu Shen attacked Repulse Bay. Facing the unfavorable situation, Zhang Shijie went to Jing 'ao (now an island in the South China Sea of Zhongshan, Guangdong) under the escort of Lu Xiufu. Seeing the tense situation, Chen Zhongyi fled and took the city (an ancient country name in today's Vietnam). /kloc-in October/February, a hurricane hit Beijing-Austria, and it rained heavily. The mast broke, the boat capsized and more than half of the soldiers drowned. Although Duan Zong and his ministers' ships survived, they were also in danger, which caused Duan Zong to fall ill in horror. After the hurricane, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu were busy leading the troops to clean up the mess, and Liu Shen took advantage of the gap to command the navy to chase after them, so the Korean army was forced to move hastily to Xie Nv Gorge outside the Pearl River Estuary.
In March of the third year of Jingyan (1278), after more than 100 days of sea turbulence, she finally found her resting place-Zhougang (now an island in the southeast sea off leizhou bay, Guangdong). However, there was another storm on the plain, and eleven-year-old Duanzong suddenly died of illness in April. In the eyes of some officers and men, this is an ominous sign that the life of the "maritime court" has run out. In order to avoid mutually assured destruction, they demanded to find their own way to survive. At this critical juncture, Lu Xiufu stepped forward with great righteousness and encouraged the people: "Duanzong is dead, but Wang Wei is still here. At that time, Shao Kang had 500 troops and 10 miles of Fiona Fang, which could revive the Xia Dynasty. Can't our civil and military officials rely on hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to revive the foundation of the Song Dynasty for 300 years? " Inspired by the spirit of ZTE advocated by Lu Xiufu, ministers were filled with emotion and expressed their determination to revive the Da Song Dynasty. Then, Lu Xiufu and his ministers discussed the establishment of Wang Wei as emperor, and Empress Yang listened to politics, and Yuan Xiangxing was changed in May. Lu Xiufu was in this crisis and was ordered to take over as Prime Minister Zuo. Zhang Shijie saved the day and * * * supported the crisis. In June, in the army, despite my tight schedule, I moved my trip to Guoshan.
