You Shiwei is from Yulin. He, his elder brother Shigong and his younger brother Shilu are all famous for their bravery and bravery. During the apocalypse, Shiwei accumulated official titles, became a participant in Jianchang Camp, and was transferred to guard the Great Wall Road. In the seventh year of the apocalypse, he was promoted to vice president of Shanhai Central Committee. Ning Yuan reported an emergency to the court. You Shiwei followed the Guards Man Gui to support him and fought against the enemy in the east of the city. He made outstanding achievements and was promoted and commended.
In the second year of Chongzhen, Shi Wei was promoted to company commander, guarding Juyongguan and Changping. This winter, the capital was heavily guarded, and the court ordered him to lead 5,000 troops to defend Shunyi. Soon, the court ordered him to return to his post to defend the imperial tomb. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he succeeded Wei Song as the company commander of Shanhai, accumulated promotion qualifications, and was promoted to the position of left viceroy.
In the first month of the second year, thieves captured Fengyang. Shi Wei led 2500 cavalry to Bozhou. As it happens, Governor Hong Chengchou went through customs to beg thieves and was stationed in Xinyang. Hong Chengchou ordered Shi Wei to rush to Ruzhou. He has only been here for two days before Seung-woo came. At that time, thieves saw that Henan officers and men were powerful and ran to Guanzhong. Because Shiwei's men are all elite soldiers, Chengchou asked him and Xu Laichao to be stationed in the mountainous areas around Yongning and Lushi respectively, guarding the dangerous places such as Lancaochuan and Zhuyangguan in Luonan. After Chengchou entered the customs, the thieves fled south from him and fled from Lantian to Lushi area. After being intercepted by the stone fence, he fled into the mountainous areas around Shang and Luo. Shi Wei's troops were stationed in the wild for a long time, and the plague prevailed in the army, and they lost in the battle with thieves. Shi Wei and guerrilla generals Liu and Luo Dai were seriously injured and defeated. The thief crossed Lushi and went straight to Yongning. After this incident was known by the court, Shi Wei was dismissed from his post and let him be investigated. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng, a great scholar of Xuanda, said, "Shiwei is good at appeasing foot soldiers and is familiar with military affairs. It was only because thousands of soldiers he transferred from other places had been guarding the barren hills for a long time and were suffering from diseases that they lost the battle. It's a pity that we don't need him when we fight now. " The court ordered Shi Wei to contribute to Lu Xiangsheng's army. When Xiang Sheng died in battle, Shi Wei asked for his dismissal and went home.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, due to the recommendation of the courtiers, the emperor ordered the guard and his brother Shilu to wait in Beijing. The emperor called them to the left door, asked them once, and they asked for leave to go back to their hometown. The following year 10, Li Zicheng captured Xi 'an and launched a surrender movement to Yulin. Wang Ding, the company commander, was frightened and led his elite soldiers to abandon the city and escape. At that time, the governor Zhang Fengyi had not yet arrived, and the strength in Yulin City was weak, which made people panic. Appoint a special envoy to deploy, and quickly convene the deputy generals Huixian, Liu Tingjie and others to discuss with you the guarding of the city. Everyone pushes the world to be a coach. Soon, the thief army captured Yan' an with a hundred thousand troops. Liu Tingjie confessed to death and asked for help in sending troops to Hetao area. Reinforcements will arrive, thieves and robbers will repel each other separately, and the siege will be even more vicious. The officers fought hard and killed countless thieves. Thieves and bandits increased their forces to attack, set up carts to approach the city, and arrows and stones kept falling, and Shi Wei and others became more brave. They defended for seven days and nights, and thieves began to dig tunnels into the city, then shelled the city with cannons, and the city was finally breached. Shi Wei and others continue to command people to carry out street fighting. Women and children also threw tiles at the house to attack the thieves, and the bodies of thieves were everywhere. Shi Wei was captured alive and tied to Xi 'an Temple. Li Zicheng sat in the palace of the Qin Dynasty and wanted him to surrender, but Shi Wei refused to surrender. Li Zicheng was annoyed and killed him.
