Yue Fei (1103-1141), a military strategist in the Southern Song Dynasty. The courtesy name is Pengju, and he was born in Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now part of Henan). When I was young, I was diligent and eager to learn, and I also practiced martial arts to become good at it. At the age of 19, he joined the army to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Soon after his father died, he retired from the army and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. In 1126, the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains on a large scale. Yue Fei surrendered to the army again and began his military career against the Jin army. Legend has it that when Yue Fei left, his mother tattooed the four words "Serve the country with loyalty and loyalty" on his back.

After Yue Fei surrendered to the army, he was soon promoted to Bingyilang for his bravery in battle. Soon the Jin army attacked Kaifeng and captured the two emperors Hui and Qin. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. The following year, Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Fei wrote a letter to Emperor Gaozong, requesting the recovery of lost territory, but was dismissed. Not long after, he stayed with Zongze in Tokyo to guard Kaifeng, and he became a martial arts master with his military exploits. After Zongze's death, he succeeded him to stay in Tokyo and Du Chong went south.

In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Jin general Wushu led the Jin army to cross the Yangtze River and invade. Yue Fei moved his army to Guangde and Yixing, persisted in resistance, and attacked the Jin army's rear defense. The following year, Yue Fei set up an ambush at Niutou Mountain, defeated the Jin general Wu's skills, and regained Jiankang (today's Nanjing, Jiangsu). The Jin army was forced to withdraw north. After that, Yue Fei was promoted to the governor of Tongzhou Town, with more than 10,000 troops, and established a "Yue Family Army", a powerful anti-golden force with strict discipline and bravery in combat.

In the third year of Shaoxing (1133), Yue Fei won the banner of "Jingzhong Yue Fei" awarded by Emperor Gaozong for annihilating Li Cheng, Zhang Yong and other "army thieves and wandering bandits". The following year, he led his troops to defeat the Jin puppet Qi army and regained six counties including Xiangyang and Xinyang. Yue Fei was also promoted to the post of military envoy of Qingyuan Army due to his meritorious service.

In the fifth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei led his army to suppress and collect the peasant uprising army led by Yang Mo. Later, the army was stationed in Ezhou (today's Wuchang, Hubei), and people were sent across the river to contact the Taihang rebels. He repeatedly suggested that Gaozong make a large-scale march northward, but Gaozong rejected them all. In the ninth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui negotiated peace with Jin, but Yue Fei expressed his opposition. The following year, Wushu marched into Henan. Yue Fei was ordered to send troops to fight back. They successively recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places, defeated the Jin Army's elite iron cavalry "Iron Futu" and "Guaizi Horse" in Yancheng, and took advantage of the victory to occupy Zhuxian Town, which was only forty-five miles away from Kaifeng. Wushu was forced to retreat to Kaifeng. The morale of the Jin army was depressed. They lamented that "it is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army" and they did not dare to go to war.

In Zhuxian Town, Yue Fei recruited troops and horses, actively prepared to cross the Yellow River, regain lost territory, and go straight to Huanglong Mansion. The Lianghe Rebel Army also responded one after another. At this time, Gaozong and Qin Hui were bent on seeking peace, and issued twelve gold-lettered edicts to the squadron, ordering Yue Fei to withdraw his troops. Yue Fei's lofty ambition was difficult to repay, so he had to shed tears to serve as a teacher.

After Yue Fei returned to Lin'an, he was immediately relieved of his military power and appointed deputy envoy to the Privy Council.

Soon he was falsely accused of rebellion and imprisoned. On December 29, the 11th year of Shaoxing (1142), he was murdered in Lin'an Fengbo Pavilion together with his son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian on the charge of "unfounded crime". At that time, Ningzong was chased and granted the title of King of Hubei.

Yue Fei is good at strategy and manages the army strictly. During his military career, he personally participated in and commanded 126 battles without ever losing a single defeat. He was truly a victorious general. He is the author of "Yue Wu Mu Yiwen" (also known as "Yue Zhong Wu Wang Collected Works"), and his poem "Man Jiang Hong" is a masterpiece that will never be sung through the ages.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Han, Khitan, Bohai, Xi and other ethnic groups who were deeply oppressed by their nationalities "hatred the Kingdom of Jin to the bone" and organized resistance one after another.

Starting from the 1220s, a vigorous national war against the Jin Dynasty began in the north and south of the Yellow River and between the two Huaihe Rivers. Yue Fei, together with Zong Ze and Han Shizhong, the famous anti-Jin generals, stood at the forefront of the anti-Jin struggle. However, the corrupt ruling group of the Northern Song Dynasty adopted a policy of compromise and surrender. In 1127 (the second year of Jingkang), after Huizong Zhao Ji and Qinzong Zhao Huan were kidnapped, the leader of the Southern Song Dynasty's small court, Zhao Gou, also surrendered. group. He preferred to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River, indulging in singing and dancing, and had no real determination and intention to organize the anti-Jin national war and carry it through to the end. The difference was that he trusted Qin Hui and other capitulationists and used them to come forward to negotiate a series of surrenders. On the one hand, he used the anti-war factions such as Zongze, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong to withstand the fierce offensive of the Jin army in order to retain his throne as emperor and accumulate the capital to kneel down and sue for peace. By the mid-1220s, after the formation of a military demarcation line between the Song and Jin Dynasties that stretched from Jianghuai in the east to Shaanxi in the west, the Zhao Gou and Qin Hui ruling groups had actually become the biggest stumbling block in the Southern Song Dynasty's struggle against the Jin; Later, the anti-war factions such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong became the biggest obstacle to the activities of the surrender factions of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui. The struggle between the anti-Japanese war faction and the capitulation faction within the Southern Song Dynasty court became increasingly acute.

Yue Fei firmly opposed peace negotiations, advocated fighting to the end, regardless of personal honor and safety, and resolutely fought against the surrender activities of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui. In 1139 (the ninth year of Shaoxing), Yue Fei heard that the Song-Jin peace treaty was about to be reached in Ezhou (today's Wuchang, Hubei Province), and immediately wrote a letter to express his opposition, saying that "the Jin people cannot be trusted, and peace cannot be relied on", and directly criticized the "Xiangguo" Qin Hui's plans and ill-intentioned surrender activities made "Qin Hui hold it in his hat". After the peace agreement was reached, Gaozong Zhaogou was so proud that he issued an edict of amnesty and generous rewards to the civil and military ministers. However, the edict was issued three times, but Yue Fei refused every time. He was not granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi (a first-grade official title) and the grant of 3,500 households of food. In his farewell speech, he earnestly expressed his opposition to the peace proposal: "Today's affairs are dangerous but not safe, worrying but not congratulatory." He once again expressed his determination to regain the Central Plains, "We are willing to plan for complete victory and expect to regain the territory in both countries." He, Yan Yun, finally wanted to take revenge and serve the country. "This is tantamount to pouring cold water on Song Gaozong's head, which made Zhao Gou and Qin Hui even more resentful. "However, regardless of personal gains and losses, Yue Fei persisted in resisting the war to the end, led the army, contacted the northern rebels, effectively engaged in the anti-golden war, planned to regain the Central Plains and unify the motherland, and became a powerful pillar in the national war against the Jinnian.

< p> In the summer of 1139 (the ninth year of Shaoxing), Jin Wushu tore up the Shaoxing peace agreement and went out in force; he once again launched a large-scale war against the Song Dynasty. When the eastern and western front armies achieved a great victory against the Jin Dynasty, Yue Fei sent his troops. "Advance on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and launch an unstoppable counterattack." The time for him to display his ambition to regain the Central Plains has arrived.

After the Yuejia Army entered the Central Plains, they were warmly welcomed by the Central Plains people and loyal militia. In July of this year, Yue Fei personally led a group of light cavalry to garrison in Licheng, Henan, and had a fierce battle with Jin Wushu's fifteen thousand fine cavalry. Yue Fei personally led his generals to attack the enemy formation and defeated the Jin Army's "Tiefu Tu" (guards) and "Guaizima" (cavalry attacking from the left and right wings), and defeated Jin Wushu. Yang Zaixing, a general under Yue Fei's command, broke into the enemy's formation on his own, hoping to capture Jin Wushu alive, but failed to find Cuo Cuo. He killed hundreds of enemies with his own hands and suffered dozens of wounds on his body. He was extremely brave. The officers and soldiers of the Yuejia Army have a fighting style of "defending until death". The enemy's overwhelming force cannot shake the lineup of the Yuejia Army. After the victory at Yancheng, Yue Fei took advantage of his victory and marched towards Zhuxian Town (only forty-five miles away from Bianjing, the base camp of the Jin army). Jin Wushu gathered a hundred thousand troops to resist, but was defeated by Yue Fei. During Yue Fei's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he recaptured Yingchang, Caizhou, Chenzhou, Zhengzhou, Yancheng, and Zhuxian Town in one fell swoop, wiping out the effective strength of the Jin Army. The morale of the entire Jin Army was shaken, and Jin Wushu prepared to evacuate from Kaifeng overnight. The struggle against the Jin Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty had a fundamental turning point, and they took another step forward, and the Central Plains fell for more than ten years. It is expected to be recovered. Yue Fei excitedly said to the generals: "Go straight to Huanglong Mansion and have a drink with you all! (Breaking the drinking habit to celebrate)" while the Jin army lamented that "it is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army."

However, the Yue family army, which was difficult to shake by foreign enemies, was destroyed by the capitulation faction within the Southern Song Dynasty court. At this moment of glorious victory in the anti-Jin war, Gaozong Zhaogou, who was willing to act as a son-emperor, was worried that he would not be able to retain the throne once the Central Plains was recovered and his brother Qinzong was released by the Jin people, so he eagerly hoped to join the Jin Dynasty. Negotiate peace. The traitor Qin Jian, who was installed by the Jin people in the Southern Song Dynasty court and stole the high position of prime minister, also seized on Gaozong's unspeakable evil and carried out activities to sabotage Yue Fei's war of resistance. They worked together in collusion and conspired to formulate a criminal plan to withdraw troops across the board and ruin the good situation in the fight against Jin Dynasty. They first ordered the east and west fronts to withdraw their troops, creating an unfavorable situation in which Yue Fei's army stood out alone. Then, in the name of "the isolated army cannot stay for a long time", they issued twelve gold medals (wooden plaques with red paint and gold characters) and urgently ordered Yue Fei to "deal with the squad." In the unfavorable situation of either "displacing his teacher" or "losing his teacher", Yue Fei knew clearly that this was a random fate of a powerful minister; but in order to preserve the strength to fight against gold, he had to bear the pain of displacing his teacher.

Yue Fei said angrily: "Ten years of hard work has been wasted! All the acquired counties will be shut down in one day! It will be difficult to revive the country and the country! There will be no way for the world to be restored!" Yue Fei's heroic struggle against the Jin Dynasty was forced to interrupt. . When the Yue family army was reorganizing, the fathers and brothers who had longed for Wang Shi to be in the Central Plains blocked the way and wept. In order to protect the lives and property of the people, Yue Fei deliberately threatened to cross the river tomorrow, which scared Jin Wushu and abandoned the city overnight to prepare to cross the Yellow River north. This allowed Yue Fei to calmly organize a large number of people in Henan to move south to the Xianghan area before evacuating the Central Plains. At this time, a shameless scholar caught up with Jin Wushu on horseback, buckled his horse and admonished: "Prince (Wushu) does not leave, the capital can be defended, and Yue Shaobao's troops must retreat!... Since ancient times, there have been no powerful ministers, but the generals can "Those who have made meritorious deeds from outside", Jin Wushu then reorganized his army and returned to Kaifeng, and took back the land of the Central Plains without any effort.

As soon as Yue Fei returned to Lin'an, he immediately fell into the trap set by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others. In 1141 (the eleventh year of Shaoxing), he was falsely accused of "rebellion" and imprisoned in Lin'an Dali Temple (the original site was near Xiaocheqiao in today's Hangzhou). The supervisory censor Wanhou* (voiced by Momochi) personally interrogated and tortured Yue Fei to force him to confess. At the same time, the governments of the Song and Jin Dynasties were intensifying their planning for the second peace negotiation. Both sides regarded the anti-war faction as a thorn in their side. Jin Wushu even wrote a letter to Qin Hui with a fierce look: "Yue Fei must be killed and then peace can be made." Under the attack of evil forces, Yue Fei remained upright, upright and loyal to his country. From him, Qin Hui and his gang could not find any evidence of "rebellion against the imperial court," but Yue Fei was still "specially granted death" by Zhao Gou on the Lunar New Year's Eve in the eleventh year of Shaoxing, and was killed in the Dali Temple in Lin'an at the age of thirty-nine. Years old. Yue Fei's general Zhang Xian and his son Yue Yun were also beheaded at the city gate. The death of Yue Fei, his son, and Zhang Xian at the hands of the traitorous emperor aroused strong anger among the anti-Jin army and the people. Han Shizhong questioned Qin Hui face to face, but Qin Hui hesitated. The words "The object does not exist (perhaps it does). Han Shizhong refuted it on the spot: "How can you serve the world with the word "unfounded"?" The national hero Yue Fei died unjustly on the charge of "unfounded". Before his death, he wrote in his confession, "The sky is clear, the sky is clear. "Zhao Zhao" in eight characters. This is a cry of grief and indignation! Yue Fei joined the army at the age of 20 and went to Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei) to pacify the envoy. However, he soon returned to his hometown due to the death of his father. Two years later, he joined the Hedong Road to pacify the army. In 1126, The Jin army attacked Bianjing, and the court was in turmoil. Zhao Gou, the younger brother of Qin Zong, recruited volunteer militiamen in the name of "The Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses". Yue Fei joined his army and was promoted to Bingyi because he led hundreds of cavalry to kill thousands of Jin soldiers.

Soon, Zhao Gou sent Yue Fei to the command of veteran general Zong Ze to go to Chanzhou to rescue Bianjing, but he could not move forward until the Jin army invaded Bianjing General Hui and The second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, his concubines, ministers and other three thousand people and countless treasures were kidnapped and returned to the north. They then ascended the throne in Yingtianfu, Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan Province). It was Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty who appointed Zongze as the prefect of Kaifeng and a stay-at-home minister in Tokyo. Huang Qianshan and others persuaded him to oppose "war" and advocate peace. Yue Fei wrote angrily and argued for peace, but was dismissed for "overstepping his duties".

Three months later, Yue Fei defected to Hebei Road to appease the envoy Zhang. Therefore, he was highly appreciated. He fought against the Jin army under Wang Yan's command and crossed the river to regain Xinxiang. Because of his disagreement with Wang Yan, he moved to Bianjing and defected to Zongze again. In the following year, he defeated the Jin army 24 times in the south of the Yellow River. Zongze, the veteran general who wrote to Emperor Gaozong requesting that the capital be returned, became sick with grief and anger. He shouted three times before his death: "Cross the river!" " died. Yue Fei followed Du Chong, who had been left behind in Tokyo, to go south and retreated to Jiankang (today's Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province). In the winter of 1129, the Jin army was led by Wu Shu (Zong Bi, the fourth son of Aguda, Taizu of the Jin Dynasty) to invade the south. After crossing the river and attacking Jiankang, Emperor Gaozong fled to the sea, leaving only eight or nine of his ministers in Wenzhou and Taizhou.

Yue Fei was ordered to recover Jiankang and led his troops in Niutou in the south of the city. He set up an ambush in the mountains and sent hundreds of black-clad warriors to sneak into the enemy camp late at night, causing the Jin army to kill each other in their sleep. They also waited for opportunities to capture enemy sentries and learned the enemy's northward retreat route. They rushed to Jing'an Town and charged into the enemy's army with swords and horses galloping. He flew back and forth and killed countless enemy troops. After taking advantage of the victory and stationed in Jiankang, he was promoted to the governor of Tong (now Nantong, Jiangsu) and Tai (now Taizhou, Jiangsu).

In 1130, Jin Fuzhi came to prominence. The traitor Liu Yu established the puppet Qi regime in Henan and Huaibei to contain the Southern Song Dynasty to alleviate the direct threat from the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. He led the main force to conquer Sichuan and Shaanxi to cut off the Southern Song Dynasty's military and food support. The Southern Song Dynasty accordingly had defenses between Jianghuai and sent Yue Fei to defend the line from Jiangzhou (today's Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to Jiangling (today's Jiangling, Hubei). Yue Fei first put down the rebels, bandits and peasant uprisings, recruited elite troops, and then took the initiative to attack three times and achieved great success.

The first time in 1134, Yue Fei led his army to conquer Jiangzhou and regain the puppet Qi occupation. Xiangyang and other six states. In Suizhou (now Sui County, Hubei Province), Yue Fei's 16-year-old eldest son Yue Yun won the first place with hammers weighing 80 kilograms each. In Xiangyang, Yue Fei's sharp eyesight saw through the enemy's cavalry defense on the river bank. Taking advantage of the weakness of the infantry formation in the open field, the command will use the infantry armed with spears to attack the enemy's cavalry, causing chaos in their formation. They will compete with each other for the road and fall into the river. They will also use the cavalry to kill the enemy's infantry and remove their armor. Defeating the main force of the puppet Qi, he successfully recovered six states in just three months, secured the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, opened up the road to Sichuan and Shaanxi, reversed the passive situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, and enhanced the courage and confidence of the army and the people to resist the enemy. With an exception, he was promoted to Qingyuan Jiedu Envoy, and was granted the title of Founding Marquis of Wuchang County, enjoying the highest honor of the Song Dynasty like Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun.

When Yue Fei was a child, his family was poor. When he was young, he worked in the fields with his parents and worked as a tenant of the landlord's family. Yue Fei was upright by nature, deep and generous, diligent and studious, and practiced martial arts hard. He once sought lessons from local archer Zhou Tong and gunner Chen Guang, and became "invincible in one county." He also particularly loved reading "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu Biography" and Sun and Wu's Art of War, and often stayed up all night reading them.

After Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, came to the throne, Yue Fei was introduced to join the army commanded by Zhao Gou. Due to his bravery in combat, he was promoted to Bingyilang (an eighth-grade military attache). In the second year of Jingkang (1127 AD), Yue Fei had two small victories over the Jin army in Chanzhou (near Puyang, Henan) and in the northwest of Cao County, Shandong, Caozhou. Because Zhao Gou reused Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others in an attempt to hide in the southeast, Yue Fei ignored his humble position and wrote to Zhao Gou, objecting to fleeing south, and urged Zhao Gou to return to Zhongjing and personally lead the Sixth Army to cross the Yellow River north. This angered Zhao Gou, Huang, Wang and others, and they were dismissed from their posts on the charge that "a minor minister has exceeded his duties and said something inappropriate". Three months later, Yue Fei defected to Zhang Suo, the governor of Hebei Road, and was soon promoted to commander. He followed Wang Yan, the commander of the capital, to cross the river to regain Xinxiang and assassinate the Jin general in the Taihang Mountains. He returned to Zongze and became the governor of the left-behind department. After Zongze's death, he mined from Duchongnan.

In the winter of the third year of Jianyan (1129 AD), Jin Yashu led his army to invade the south and invaded Jiankang (now Nanjing). In the fourth year of Jianyan's reign, Yue Fei led his army to the north and attacked the Jin army retreating from the north in Qingshuiting, Jing'an and other places. He won successive victories and Jin Jishu was almost captured alive. He regained Jiankang in one fell swoop and was promoted to be the governor of Tongtai Town and also known as Taizhou. Then, he was ordered to lead troops to rescue Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu Province) and defeated the Jin army three times in Chengzhou. Yue Fei's troops have strict military discipline, are brave and good at fighting, and are called the "Yue Family Army" and are deeply loved by the people. In the fourth year of Shaoxing (AD 1134), the Yue family army defeated the Qi and Liu Yu forces, and recovered Xiangyang Prefecture and the six counties of Tang, Deng, Sui, Yingzhou, and Xinyang. Yue Fei was promoted to the Qingyuan Army Jiedu Envoy, Hubei Road Jingxiang Tanzhou established an envoy and was in charge of Xiangyang Prefecture Road. Soon after, he was granted the title of Wuzhan County and opened the country. He was thirty-two years old. In the winter of that year, the Jin-Qi coalition captured Chuzhou and advanced to Luzhou (today's Hefei, Anhui). Luzhou was in danger, Yue Fei accepted the order and led his army eastward, defeating the Jin army again.

In the eighth year of Shaoxing (AD 1138), Qin Hui accepted the peace edict of the Jin Dynasty as prime minister, proclaimed himself a minister to the Jin Dynasty, and paid an annual tribute of 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk. Yue Fei once again stated to the court that he had always opposed the "peace negotiation" and insisted on resisting the enemy. He firmly stated that he was willing to formulate a strategy to recover Hedong and Hebei, and attack Yanyun directly to avenge his country. In order to gain the support of the military officials for the peace negotiation, Zhao Gou awarded new titles and titles to the three generals Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong, and promoted Yue Fei to the third division of Kaifu Yitong. Yue Fei gave four memorials in a row, expressing his disapproval, and pointed out that the current situation can only cause danger but not comfort. It is only enough to make people worry but not congratulatory. Soldiers should be trained more intensively to prepare for unexpected events. Ask the court to recover Cheng Ming in order to "preserve the minister's integrity." Yue Fei repeatedly opposed the "peace negotiation", which aroused Zhao Gou's dissatisfaction and Qin Hui's hatred.

In the tenth year of Shaoxing, the Jin Dynasty tore up the "peace agreement" and launched a massive attack on the Song Dynasty. After receiving Zhao Gou's personal edict to "take advantage of the opportunity to win", Yue Fei immediately mobilized his troops and advanced into the Central Plains. In Licheng, Henan, he defeated Wu Shu's "Tie Fu Tu" and "Kaizi Ma", and the entire Jin army collapsed. After that, he took advantage of the victory and marched into Zhuxian Town, where he led a fierce general with 500 cavalrymen from the Wei army to attack and kill the enemy Jin army. The victory at Zhuxian Town further strengthened Yue Fei's determination to take advantage of the victory to cross the river and regain Hebei. He once again wrote to Zhao Gou, asking to go deep into the enemy's territory, regain the old territory, and avenge the shame of the country's subjugation. The loyal and rebellious troops from the north came back one after another with high morale and were encouraged by "reaching directly to Huanglong Mansion". Zhao Gou and Qin Hui issued twelve edicts with gold-lettered plaques in one day to urge Yue Fei's troops. Yue Feiming said angrily that "ten years of effort will be wasted in one day", "it will be difficult to revive the country and the country; there will be no way for the world to be restored", and was forced to order the withdrawal of troops. Before Yue Fei withdrew his troops, he deliberately spread the word that he would cross the river tomorrow. Ji Shu was afraid that the people in the city would act as an internal response to the Yue family's army, so he abandoned the city overnight and fled north for more than a hundred miles. After the Yuejia Army reorganized, the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to capture Zhengzhou, Guchang, Chenzhou, Caizhou and other places.

After Yue Fei returned to Lin'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang), his military power was taken away. In July of the 11th year of Shaoxing (AD 1141), Qin Huijun sent Wan Houzuo, the Youman Yi official, to attack Yue Fei first. He wrote a letter accusing Yue Fei of "having a high rank, a high salary, and a contented ambition, but his usual ambition for fame has become increasingly decadent." In August of this year, Yue Fei was dismissed from his post as Deputy Privy Envoy and was reassigned to the idle post of Wanshou Guanshi. Later, Qin busy instigated Yue Fei's deputy commander Wang Jun to come forward and falsely accuse Yue Fei's general Zhang Xian of preparing to rebel. In October, the imperial court published a notice saying that Zhang Xian's case "conspired to implicate Yue Fei, so he was arrested and brought to justice, and he was summoned to prison for interrogation." Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun were arrested and imprisoned. In December, Zhao Gou issued an order: "Yue Fei is specially ordered to die, and Zhang Xian and Yue Yun will implement it in accordance with military law." On that day, the Dali Temple law enforcement officer complied with the order and carried out the final execution, forcing Yue Fei to sign his confession. Yue Fei, who lived an upright life, wrote eight words on his confession: "The sky is clear, the sky is clear!" He then drank poisoned wine and died at the age of thirty-nine.

Yue Fei fought on the battlefield throughout his life, bravely resisted invasion and resolutely opposed national oppression. His patriotism and unyielding national integrity have been admired by people of all generations and are worthy of our eternal memory. The most popular theory is that Yue Fei was killed by the surrender faction Qin Hui. The Peking Opera "Feng Bo Pavilion" describes this tragedy. Opposite Yue Fei's tomb in Hangzhou, there is an iron kneeling statue of Qin Hui and his wife. They pray to Yue Fei day and night for 365 days a year. They have been reviled by tourists who come to visit Yue Fei's tomb.

In the early Qing Dynasty, a Songjiang woman visited Yue Tomb and wrote a couplet. After it spread, it was engraved behind the kneeling statue of Qin Hui and his wife and on the lintel of the inner door of Yue Tomb: "Green mountains are fortunate to bury loyal bones, and white iron casts innocent ministers."

Fried dough sticks are still a popular snack among Chinese people. They originated from a folk story in Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty. It tells the story of a hawker making sesame seed cakes on Lin'an Street. After learning that Yue Fei was murdered, he kneaded flour into a pair of noodles. On behalf of Qin Hui and his wife, they put it into a pan and fried it, named it "fried cypress", and it quickly became popular. This story reflects from one aspect the people's resentment towards Qin Hui for framing Zhongliang.

It is true that Qin Hui framed Yue Fei, and there is no need to overturn Qin Hui's case. The problem is that there is a deeper reason behind Qin Hui's actions, which cannot be summarized by abstract loyalty and treachery, right and wrong. Recently I read an article "Exploring the Cause of Yue Fei's Death". The author Liu Xingyu quoted Nan Huaijin's two views. One is the slogan put forward by Yue Fei, "Go straight to Huanglong and welcome back the two saints." The other is that in 1137, Yue Fei heard that the Jin Dynasty wanted to When Bianjing established Qinzong's son, he wrote to Gaozong, asking him to establish a prince to calm people's hearts. It was these two crucial things that angered Song Huizong. Qin Hui just figured out Gaozong's psychology and made a plan to cater to him.

These two points of analysis are completely correct. The problem is that these two reasons cannot be regarded as Nan Huaijin’s own views. If Liu Xingyu’s quotation is correct, then it is impossible for Nan Huaijin, as a famous scholar, to I don’t know about these two reasons. Wen Zhengming of the Ming Dynasty had already described them before. Why did they become new insights in his research? In today's scientific and technological world, plagiarism of other people's materials is often exposed, and the literary and historical circles seem to be no exception?

Wen Zhengming's poem "Man Jiang Hong" is transcribed as follows:

"After wiping the remains of the stele, the characters "Chi Fei" can still be read.

At the time, What's so important about Yifei?

After all, it's hard to say anything about it.

The most innocent, hateful and pitiable person.

Don’t you miss Jingkang?

Don’t you feel sorry for the Central Plains?

But when Huiqin comes back, where does he belong?

< p>I will not talk about crossing the South for a thousand years. At that time, I was just afraid that the Central Plains would be restored.

What can that mere cypress tree do?

Whatever you want! ”
