Today, 470 years ago, on November 12th, 1555 (October 29th, 1555 in the lunar calendar), Zhang Jing, a strange injustice from the ages, was killed. A sutra was born in Caicuofang, Hongtang, a suburb of Fuzhou on the edge of Minjiang River. Cai Cuofang is the world of people surnamed Cai. The Zhang family is a foreign minor surname. In order not to be bullied by others, Zhang Jing's father adopted the surname Cai. Zhang Jing was talented and successful in his studies. In the 12th year of Zhengde (AD 1517), he was admitted to Jinshi and was directly appointed as the magistrate of Jiaxing County, Zhejiang Province. In the fourth year of Jiajing (AD 1525), he went to Beijing to serve as the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Official Affairs (official name, attendant, admonishment, impeachment of officials and other duties). At this time, he changed Cai's surname back to Zhang's surname. Zhang Jing is resolute and capable. Once Zhong Fang, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, went to Beijing to pay bribes for his promotion, and was reported. Therefore, the matter implicated Jin Xianmin, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the whistleblower did not dare to delve into it. After Zhang Jing knew it, he took the initiative to stand up and joined his colleague Gao Shikui to report to the emperor. The emperor sent someone to investigate and deal with the truth. Jin Xianmin was afraid of being caught, so he took the initiative to report that he resigned and left Beijing. Zhang Jing's reputation suddenly started. In the first month of the seventh year of Jiajing (AD 1528), Zhang Jing suggested to dismiss the rampant factory health school officers. The emperor adopted this opinion and decreed to dismiss the factory health school officers. Zhang Jing's reputation of daring to touch the powerful was even more popular in the court. The emperor saw Zhang Jing as a usable talent who dared to do something, which facilitated him to be promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and governor of military affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi in the 16th year of Jiajing (AD 1537). At that time, there was a local leader named Hou Gongding in the Duanteng Gorge (also known as Dateng Gorge) area of Guangxi, who gathered people to rebel. According to the records of Ming History, Xunzhou Prefecture Chronicles and Guiping County Chronicles, the civil uprising in Duanteng Gorge began in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1371), and lasted for more than 160 years to the eighteenth year of Jiajing (AD 1539). It poses a long-term threat to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Although the imperial court successively sent dozens of generals such as Yu Hai, Xu Yuan, Han Guan, Zhang Fu, Shan Yun, Chen Jing, Han Yong, Chen Jin and Wang Shouren and more than 600,000 officials and soldiers to carry out encirclement and suppression, the suppression continued. At that time, Zhang Jing, as an important minister of the court and a senior official of the Ministry of War, had the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and the people. He took the initiative to undertake the important task of encircling and suppressing local rebellions. Negotiate with the censor Zou Yaochen and others, and adopt strategies to pacify the civil rebellion. Hou Gongding's troops fought and retreated. Officers and soldiers blocked head-on and beheaded more than 1,200 levels. After that, the official and army were divided into small groups to wipe out the enemy in many ways. 450 enemy troops were captured and more than 2,900 were surrendered. The rest of Hou Gongding saw that the general situation was gone, so they collapsed and fled. In this way, Zhang Jing, with his excellent military command skills, pacified the long-lasting turmoil in Guangxi. For this reason, the court promoted Zhang Jing to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the official was promoted to one level and the salary was increased to one level. 2. At that time, there were often difficulties in all parts of the country. Mo Dengyong of Annan (now Vietnam) in the south usurped the throne. After receiving the secret report, the emperor handed it over to the first assistant for disposal. The first assistant convened a meeting of ministers from various ministries to discuss, and all the ministers of the court said that they would send troops to attack. After analysis, Zhang Jing wrote: "There are six ways to enter Annan. A year's military pay costs 1.6 million taels, ships and cars, horses and weapons and military expenses cost more than 700,000 taels. What's more, crossing the sea, it's not worth the candle, so it should be carefully considered." The court accepted Zhang Jing's advice, but how to deal with this unexpected incident? Zhang Jing was confident. He discussed with Mao Bowen, a famous minister, and decided to use a plan to solve the Annan problem. They adopted a gentle recruitment policy. On the one hand, they sent Guangxi troops to suppress the border, creating a high-pressure situation for Mo Dengyong. On the other hand, they sent envoys to Annan to recruit Mo Dengyong, promising Mo Dengyong the position of a senior official (second grade) of the Ming Dynasty, forcing Mo Dengyong to submit in accordance with the terms prescribed by the Ming court, and completely solved the Annan issue in a very short period of time. The court appreciated Zhang Jing's talent very much and promoted him to the censor of the right capital again. Zhang Jing seems to be born with the talent and ability to do great things and deal with crises. The Annan incident had just been handled, and soon a large-scale rebellion by the chieftains (ethnic minority leaders) of Si En (now Wuming, northwest of Nanning, Guangxi) broke out in Guangxi. The emperor got the report and handed it over to the ministers for discussion. Zhang Jing felt that he was an important minister of the court, and he had the responsibility to share the worries of the court and contribute to the stability of the world. He volunteered to take over the matter and personally led troops to Guangxi to counter the rebellion. He quickly put down the local rebellion with absolute superiority in his troops. After returning to the DPRK, Zhang Jing was promoted to minister of the Ministry of War and imperial envoy of the capital, leading troops to guard southern Xinjiang. When his father died, Zhang Jing returned to Fuzhou Ding You to observe filial piety according to the usual practice of feudal times. Fuzhou is a classical and exquisite garden-style city. There are various scenery of Wushan, Pingshan and Yushan in the city. The famous pagoda at the foot of the mountain was built in the first year of Tang Tianyou (AD 904) and burned by thunder and fire in the 13th year of Jiajing (AD 1534). During Zhang Jing's filial piety, he and Gong Yongqing, the champion scholar, proposed to raise funds to rebuild the brick tower. Today, 550 years later, this white pagoda is still there. On the wall with blue bricks, there is a seven-rhythm poem by Zhang Jing: King Yan originally intended to build a golden platform, just to recruit talents from the world. Why Jing Ke finally gone away, empty pity Le Yi never returns. There are ancient rivers and mountains in Pingsha, and the setting sun plings the piano and the grass mourns. Three auxiliary clouds look at the North Pole, and nine palaces open from the sky. During his filial piety in Fuzhou, Zhang Jing was also enthusiastic about education and wrote Inscriptions on Four Studies. This book is now stored in the stele gallery of Yushan. After the expiration of three years of filial piety, Zhang Jing, who was remembered by the court, was quickly appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, and immediately changed to the Minister of War. In the thirty-third year of Jiajing (AD 1554), the court faced the rampant Japanese pirates and set up governors and ministers to govern them. Zhang Jing was appointed as governor of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Huguang and other places. It is convenient to handle the camera, and he can directly allocate troops. Zhang Jing thought, Japanese thieves invaded all the year round, and a well-trained specialized force must be set up to deal with it, so as to have a chance of winning. So he suggested to the court to recruit "wolf soldiers" to suppress the bandits. The court adopted his opinion and quickly ordered the formation of "Wolf Earth Soldiers". Zhang Jing specializes in teaching "wolf soldiers" how to resist Japanese in Guangdong and Guangxi. This "wolf soldier" who had been trained by him entered the battlefield and encircled and suppressed the Japanese pirates who invaded the seaside of Fujian and Zhejiang. The Ming army won, and Zhang Jing's prestige soared. In the first month of the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (AD 1555), a large number of Japanese pirates invaded Zhapu and Haining in Zhejiang Province, captured Chongde, and plundered the western part of Hangzhou. Emperor Jiajing got a report, and ordered Zhang Jing to suppress the bandits on a limited date. Because of the instigation of political opponents, Emperor Jiajing at this time didn't trust Zhang Jing as much as he used to. He listened to the bad idea of traitor Yan Song and sent Zhao Wenhua, his henchmen and assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, to secretly supervise Zhang Jing. Zhao Wenhua doesn't understand military affairs, but he is a master of tricking people. Armed with Shangfang's sword, he was aggressive as soon as he arrived at the front line, criticizing Zhang Jing, the commander-in-chief. Before the fighter plane arrived, he outrageously threatened Zhang Jing to send troops. Zhang Jing told Zhao Wenhua that the most important thing to send troops to war is to find fighter planes. At present, the enemy's situation has not been fully understood, and our most important "wolf soldiers" have not all arrived. Risking troops can only lose more and win less. Zhao Wenhua refused to listen and threatened to inform the emperor. Zhang Jing didn't pay much attention to Zhao Wenhua before, but now that he was so arrogant, he even ignored him. He did not confide any military secrets to Zhao Wenhua on the grounds of minister self-respect and "military secrets". Zhao Wenhua thinks that Zhang Jing looks down on him. The upper report accused Zhang Jing, saying, "People from Fujian are also worried that thieves will enter their hometown, so they raise bandits and wealth." The emperor listened to partial beliefs and issued a decree to arrest Zhang Jing. The prelude of an eternal tragedy was thus opened. Just as Zhao Wenhua was writing a memorial, the "wolf soldiers" from Donglan Zhuzhou, Guangxi arrived quickly. Zhang Jing put his personal honor and disgrace and life and death aside. He commanded the battle on the front line day and night, so he had the famous "Shitangwan Victory". On the first day of May, thousands of Japanese pirates invaded Jiaxing by land and water. Zhang Jing led the Zhejiang army to destroy the thief's nest in Songjiang, and then commanded Yongbao's "wolf earth soldiers" to break through the stronghold of Chuanshawa. The Japanese pirates were defeated and went to sea to escape. In order to protect Jiaxing, Zhang Jing sent general Lu Bao, commander-in-chief Yu Dayou, Zou Jifang, Tang Kekuan and other generals to fight in Wangjiangjing, north of Jiaxing, killing more than 1,980 heads of Japanese pirates, burning and drowning countless Japanese thieves, and won a great victory in this battle in a short time. Historical records praise Zhang Jing as "the first military exploits in the world since the rise of the army". The good news reached the capital, and Emperor Jiajing should have been happy. However, because of Zhao Wenhua's false accusation and Yan Song's instigation, the dim and unknown Emperor Jiajing still insisted on arresting Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing went to Beijing and introduced the whole story of the invasion in detail. Chen said that since he became governor for half a year, he had captured and beheaded more than 5,000 Japanese pirates. Ask the emperor to distinguish right from wrong, and let him go to the battlefield to kill Japanese and serve the country! Zhang Jing's passion and loyalty did not impress the emperor. Zhang Jing was very calm in the face of death. He told the emperor: Since the monarch told his minister to die and his minister had to die, then before his death, Zhang Jing still had to recommend a word to the emperor. After my death, there may be no handsome man to accept, but there is one of the low-level generals named Qi Jiguang, who is worthy of the great responsibility of resisting Japanese affairs. I hope the Holy Majesty can use him after my death. Emperor Zhang Jing's suggestion was approved. At this time, his political enemies killed him at the most critical time in his life. He Ao, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, wrote a letter demanding that Zhang Jing be killed. The emperor wrote the word "Zhun". On October 29th, the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (November 12, 1555 AD), Zhang Jing and governor Li Tianchong were beheaded in Beijing. This is undoubtedly the darkest page in the history of the Ming Dynasty! Is there anything more wrongful than this in the world? Although the emperor killed Zhang Jing and other one or two people, its negative impact was that the morale of the whole army was shaken, and the right and wrong of the whole society were reversed! After the old emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne. In the early years of Long Qing, Zhang Maojue, the grandson of Zhang Jing, went to Beijing to complain. Accepted by the court, Zhang Jing was rehabilitated, the official was reinstated, buried and given posthumous title Xiangmin, and his descendants were sealed. Zhang Jing was buried in Huangdian Mountain near Hongshan Bridge on the outskirts of Fuzhou, which is a large stone tortoise shell tomb in Ming Dynasty. Later generations complained about Zhang Jingming, an outstanding anti-Japanese general, and wrote on the wall of his tomb, "There is no iron phase in front of the hate step, and Zhang's grave is different from Yue's grave". It is believed that Zhang Jing's unjust case is similar to that of Yue Fei that year, and it is the "eternal injustice" of the Ming Dynasty!
