On this day, 874 years ago, on September 16, 1151 (August 5, the 1151 lunar calendar), Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, passed away. Han Shizhong was born from September 16, 1089 to 1151, also known as Liangchen, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a native of Bianshang Village, Suide County, Shaanxi Province, and a national hero. He is tall and brave. Born in poverty, he was recruited into the army at the age of 18. He was brave and good at fighting, had a strategic mind, and established military achievements in resisting the Jin army's southern invasion. He was an upright official and refused to rely on Prime Minister Qin Hui. He complained that Yue Fei was framed. He was an influential figure in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Chongning (1105), the Western Xia Dynasty invaded the border. Shizhong's troops arrived in Yinzhou (in today's Mahuyu northwest of Mizhi, Shaanxi) to defend the border and reach the enemy. Han Shizhong killed his generals and seized the pass. The Xia army was defeated. The military reported its achievements, which was suspected by Tong Guan and "stopped making up one additional contribution." Later, he made military achievements, and he was appointed as deputy commander of Jin Yi. He was subsequently transferred to the rank of deputy commander of the army due to his merit. In the second year of Xuanhe (1120), the Fangla Uprising broke out in Jiangnan. Han Shizhong followed Wang Yuan to send troops to suppress it as a partial general, and defeated the uprising army with an ambush. Wang Yuan praised him: "It's really an enemy of ten thousand people." He also took advantage of the momentum to pursue Fang La to Qingxitong, Zhangzhou, captured Fang La, and transferred him to Chengjie Lang with his merits. In three years (1121), he followed Liu Yanqing to send troops to Yanshan (a suburb of present-day Beijing) to recover the lost territory plundered by Jin. The Song army was defeated by the Jin soldiers at a single blow. Only Shizhong led more than 50 cavalry to the Hutuo River, defeated the Jin soldiers and defeated the enemy. He also followed the army to attack small-scale local armed uprisings in Shandong and Hebei, and became Wu Jielang for his merits. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty became the emperor (1126). He was promoted to the rank of Doctor Wujie to quell the chaos in Zi and Qing in Shandong, and was promoted to Doctor Zuowu and the commander of Guozhou Tuanlian. Following the edict, he entered the court and was appointed as the commander of the Danzhou Tuanlian Army, and led his troops to camp in the Hutuo River. Zhending (now Zhengding County, Hebei Province) was occupied by Jin soldiers. Shizhong led his troops to Zhaojun to assist Wang Yuan, the defending general. When the Jin soldiers arrived, they attacked fiercely and ran out of food. His subordinates advised Shizhong to break through and escape, but he refused. It snowed heavily in the middle of the night, and he ordered 300 brave soldiers to raid the enemy camp, causing the enemy to fall into chaos and attack each other. The general commander of the Jin soldiers was stabbed to death. The Jin soldiers all retreated and were transferred to Jiazhou Defense Envoy for their merits. King Zhao Gou of Kang was in Jeju (south of present-day Juye County in Shandong Province). Jin troops arrived in large numbers, with about tens of thousands of troops. At that time, Shizhong had only a thousand men. He rode alone and attacked the enemy camp. He beheaded the chief, and the Jin army collapsed. King Kang was the emperor (1127), and he was awarded Shizhong as the observer of Gwangju and brought royal equipment. Han Shizong petitioned to move the capital to Chang 'an (now Xi'an City), but the courtiers disagreed. The imperial construction was under the control of Shizhong's left army of the imperial camp. In the second year of Jianyan (1128), he was promoted to Chengxuan Envoy of the Dingjun Army and followed Gaozong to Yangzhou. When the Jin army attacked Henan, Zhai Jin joined Shizhong to attack Wushi Camp at night. He was defeated by the enemy and transferred to Bianzhou, where he had a conflict with Zhai Jin. The emperor summoned Shizhong back and appointed him as deputy manager of Yanlu, and added Pingkou Zuo General. He stationed his troops in Huaiyang (now the west bank of Xigu Sishui River in Qingjiang City, Jiangsu Province). He was defeated by the Jin general Nihan in Shuyang (now Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province). In three years, Gaozong moved to Qiantang, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou City), and Shizhong rushed to Xingzai from the sea route. When Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan rebelled, Gaozong awarded the word "loyalty and courage" in calligraphy and awarded him the title of Shaobao, Wusheng, and Zhaoqing Army Jiedushi. Jin Wushu was about to invade the south on a large scale. Gaozong summoned all his generals to discuss where to move. Zhang Jun and others advised Gaozong to go to Changsha from Hubei and Yue. Shizhong opposed: "The country has lost Hebei and Shandong. If it abandons the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, where else would it be?" The emperor appointed Shizhong as the envoy of western Zhejiang and guarded Zhenjiang (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu). Wu Shu divided his troops to cross the Yangtze River. All the defending generals of the Song army were defeated, and Shizhong also surrendered to Jiangyin. Wu Shu defeated Lin 'an (now Hangzhou City), and the emperor went to eastern Zhejiang. Shizhong was on his way to see the emperor and petitioned to ambush on the Yangtze River to intercept the Jin soldiers returning north. The emperor agreed to petition. So he led his troops to Zhenjiang, stationed troops in Jiaoshan Temple, and fought against the Jin soldiers for 48 days. Liang Hongyu beat the drum to block the Jin soldiers, making it impossible for the Wushu army to seize the road north and return. Wu Shu asked Shizhong for help, and Shizhong said: "Give back my two palaces and restore our Xinjiang soldiers, and we will protect each other." Wu Shu was speechless. Later, Wu Shu dug a canal 30 miles out of the river entrance and set fire to a small boat to escape. The Song army had no wind and weak sails and could not travel, so the Jin soldiers escaped north from the river. In this battle, Shizhong was famous in history for his 8000 soldiers versus 100,000 gold soldiers. Gaozong worshipped Shizong as a junior inspector, as a military governor of Wucheng and Gande, and as a commander of the Shenwu Left Army. During the Armistice of the Song and Jin Dynasties, Han Shizhong successively put down small groups of armed forces in Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places. He was awarded the title of Marshal, given belt and Wat, and served as the Xuanfu envoy of the east and west roads of Jiangnan. In March of the third year of Shaoxing (1133), he was promoted to the Third Division of Kaifu Yitong and served as Xuanfu envoy on the east and west roads of Huainan, stationed in Sizhou (now on the west bank of the Huai River in the northwest of Xuyi County, Jiangsu Province). The following year, Jiankang, Zhenjiang and Huaidong Xuanfu envoys were stationed in Zhenjiang. That year, the Jin soldiers and Liu Yu of the puppet Qi Dynasty invaded the south. Shizhong sent generals Yu Dayi (now Yizheng County, Jiangsu Province), Tianchang County (now Tianchang County, Anhui Province), and Gaoyou (now Gaoyou County, Jiangsu Province) to defeat the Jin soldiers. Good news enters Korea. The emperor praised Shizhong for his loyalty and courage, and his minister Shen Yuqiu said: "Since the founding of Yan, the soldiers and soldiers have never fought against the Jin army. In this life, they have been loyal and victorious to defeat their vanguard, and their contributions are not trivial." So the court promoted Shizhong's generals Dong Min and Xie Yuan. In the fifth year of Shaoxing (l135), Han Shizhong was promoted to the rank of junior guard. In six years, he was appointed as Jiedushi of Wuning and Anbei Army, and Xuanfu Disposal Envoy of Jingdong and Huaidong Road, stationed in Chuzhou (now Huaian County, Jiangsu Province). He was given the title of "Yang Wu Yi Yun Hero" and was awarded the title of Jiedushi of Henghai, Wuning and Anhua towns. When the Jin Dynasty abolished Liu Yu of the puppet Qi Dynasty, Shizhong asked to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but the Prime Minister advocated peace. Shizhong petitioned several times, advocating for a decisive battle, but was never accepted by the emperor. For nine years, he was awarded the title of Young Teacher. Ten years later, the Jin army abandoned the alliance and invaded the south. Shizhong defeated the Jin army in Huaiyang, promoted to Taibao, granted the title of Duke of England, and served as a recruiting envoy for Henan and North roads. Eleven years later, he fought again with the Jin soldiers on the bank of the Huaihe River. Shizhong was stationed in Chuzhou for more than ten years, with only 30,000 troops. The Jin people did not dare to invade. Qin Hui withdrew the military power of the general and appointed General Shizhong as the Privy Council Envoy. During the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Han Shizhong resisted the memorial saying that Qin Hui had harmed the country. He repeatedly petitioned to be relieved of his privy position and also submitted a petition to ask for his death. Therefore, he was dismissed as the envoy of the Liquan Temple, and was granted the title of Duke Fuguo at the request of the court. From then on, this famous general who had resisted the enemy for many years refused to talk about the court affairs. In the twelfth year (1142), he was changed to Duke Tan. For thirteen years, he was granted the title of Prince Xian 'an. In 17th year, he was transferred to Zhennan, Wu 'an and Ningguo Jiedushi. He died in August of the 21st year (l151) and was granted the title of Prince Tongyi. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, he was granted the title of King Qi. Han Shizhong was straightforward and loyal to the court and state affairs. Yue Fei was imprisoned unjustly, and no civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak up. Only Shizhong spoke out of righteousness, and Qin Hui hated him in his heart. He angered Qin Hui by opposing the peace talks. He holds the army strictly and neatly, can share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and knows people well. Most of his generals and schools have grown into brave generals. After returning home for more than ten years after relieving the army and eliminating the government, he remained calm and composed. In his later years, he liked to explain and learn in his old age, and called himself a "cool layman". Han Shizhong made great contributions to the Song Dynasty in the war against the Western Xia and Jin Dynasties, and also made significant contributions to putting down rebellions in various places. In addition to pacifying Fangla, he also pacified the rebellion of Fan Ru in Jian 'an, Cao Cheng in Guangxi, Li Heng in Huainan, and Liu Yu in Huaiyang for the Song Dynasty, supporting the unstable Southern Song Dynasty in a corner of Pianan for decades. These illustrious military exploits enabled him to be promoted step by step from a soldier to deputy lieutenant, Chengjie Lang, military commander, regiment training commander, and Jiedushi. He also served successively as Xuanfu envoy of the east and west roads of Jiangnan, and concurrently as recruitment envoy of Henan and North roads. He was promoted to the Taibao and was granted the title of Duke of England and Duke of Tan. In the 13th year of Jianyan, he was granted the title of Prince Xian 'an. However, it was such a hero of the Anti-Japanese War that violated the surrender policy of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to seek peace and flatter foreigners. Because Han Shizhong opposed peace negotiations, he repeatedly impeached traitors and harmed the country, and was tolerated by the capitulators. Yue Fei was wronged, and many civil and military officials in the court dared not speak up, but he dared to question Qin Hui face to face. When Qin Hui replied with the three words "Muxu You', he said angrily: " How can the three words 'Muxu You' convince the world!" Someone was worried about him and advised him not to go against Qin Hui. He replied: "I am afraid of disaster and agree. How can I face the late emperor underground in the future?" Later, he was finally relieved of military power. From then on, he refused to visit guests, read books and scriptures at home, and never spoke of war. He often rides a donkey, carries a child, and carries a wine pot, and swims around the West Lake. He lived an honest life and spared justice for his wealth. All the rewards he had earned over the years were distributed to his subordinates, and all the land and property were distributed to the people of his fief; He holds the majesty of the army and can share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. After his dismissal, he stayed at home for more than ten years and remained calm. In the twenty-first year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (1151 AD), this famous general died of depression. He was 68 years old at the age of sixty-eight. After his death, he was worshipped as the Grand Master and was awarded the title of Prince Tongyi. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, he was also granted the title of King Qi, showing his loyalty and martial arts. He was given a banquet in the Gaozong Temple. Comments: Like Yue Fei, they are all anti-gold generals.
