On this day, 885 years ago, on August 21, 1140 (July 7, the 1140 year of the lunar calendar), the Yue Family Army's victory in Yancheng revealed the inside story of Yue Fei's death. The "Yue Family Army" led by Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty reached 100,000 people at its peak and was the main force in the war against Jin at that time. Yue Jiajun fought bravely and strictly disciplined, and won the support of the people. In 1140 (the tenth year of Shaoxing), the Jin army marched south on the fourth road, and Yue Fei led his light cavalry to Ruicheng to deploy troops to meet the enemy. Jin Wushu led more than 15,000 elite troops to the north of Ruicheng. He lined up heavily armored "Iron Tower Soldiers" on the front and "Guaizi Ma" on both sides to attack the Yue family army. On August 21, 1140 (the seventh day of the seventh month), Yue Fei ordered his generals to hold swords and axes to chop the enemy at the top and chop the feet of the horses at the bottom. He defeated the Jin army in Ruicheng, and then recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places. Yue Fei encouraged the generals and said,"Go straight to Huanglong Mansion and drink with you!" However, the surrender faction led by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty and Qin Hui wholeheartedly sought peace and issued twelve gold medals to force Yue Fei to return to the court. In the end, Yue Fei was killed on the charge of "unwarranted". A famous battle in the Song and Jin War. In the ninth year of Shaoxing (1139), Wanyan Zongbi's faction in the Jin Dynasty gained power and advocated using force to force the Southern Song Dynasty to surrender again and regain Henan and Shaanxi. The following year, the Jin Dynasty divided its troops into four routes, starting from Lianghuai in the east and Shaanxi in the west, and launched a large-scale military offensive against the Song Dynasty. The Song court was forced to order various Song troops to resist. Tens of thousands of Yue's army led by Yue Fei set out from Hubei and quickly entered central Henan. They defeated the Jin army in succession, occupied the important military towns of Yingchang Prefecture (now Xuchang, Henan) and Huaining Prefecture (now Huaiyang, Henan), and seized the victory to recover Zhengzhou, Xijing Henan Prefecture (now Luoyang East, Henan Province) and other places. Yue Fei also sent Liang Xing and others to cross the Yellow River and unite with the rebels in Hedong and Hebei to defeat the Jin army in the rear of the Jin army and recover many prefectures and counties. Wanyan Zongbi saw that the Yue Family Army's troops were scattered and found out that Yue Fei was stationed in Ruicheng (now Henan) with only a small number of troops. He decided to personally lead 15,000 elite cavalry straight into Ruicheng in an attempt to destroy the Yue Family Army's command center in one fell swoop. On the eighth day of the seventh month, Zong Bi, King Dragon and Tiger, King Gaitian, and others faced off against the Yuejia Army in the north of Ruicheng. Yue Fei ordered his son Yue Yun to lead his light cavalry to break into the enemy's line and charge back and forth. The Jin army dispatched heavy-armored cavalry "Tie Futu"(Tie Futu: soldiers wearing heavy armor and iron hats, in groups of three, connected with belts. Every step forward, they would use wood used to block the horses to clean them, only advancing but not retreating. ) for a frontal attack, with cavalry as the left and right wings, known as the "Guaizi Horse"(Guaizi Horse: The cavalry arranged on the left and right wings are all composed of real women who can ride and are good at shooting.) Cooperate in combat. Yue Fei sent the Beiwei pro-army and the Youyi army and horse army to fight, and sent infantry with hemp knives, big axes, etc. to chop up the enemy soldiers and chop down the horse feet, killing a large number of Jin soldiers, making it impossible for their heavy cavalry to give full play to their strengths. Yang Zaixing, a brave general in the Yue family army, broke into the enemy's line alone and planned to capture Wanyan Zongbi alive and kill hundreds of Jin soldiers. The two sides fought fiercely from the afternoon to dark, and the Jin army was defeated. On the 10th, the Jin soldiers once again invaded Ruicheng. Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers again at Wulidian, north of the city, and killed the Jin general Ali Duo Bojin. Wanyan Zongbi gathered 120,000 troops in Linying (now Henan). On the 13th, Yang Zaixing dispatched 300 cavalry on patrol and encountered the Jin soldiers at Xiaoshang Bridge. He killed more than 2,000 Jin soldiers and more than 100 generals including Wanshasa Babojin. All the Song army also died heroically. Yang Zaixing was hit by two liters of arrowhead. On the 14th, Zhang Xian led the Yue family's army to fight again and chased the Jin soldiers out of the border of Linying County. On the same day, the Yue family army defeated the main force of the Jin army that invaded Yingchang. After the victory in Yancheng, Yue Fei encouraged the generals and said: "Go straight to Huanglong Mansion and drink with you!" However, the surrender faction led by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty and Qin Hui wholeheartedly sought peace and issued twelve gold medals to force Yue Fei to return to the court. In the end, Yue Fei was killed on the charge of "unwarranted". Historical Comments The Battle of Yancheng was a decisive battle between the elite troops of the Song and Jin Dynasties. The Song army defeated the more with a few, dealing a heavy blow to the Jin army. If the Song army can take advantage of the victory and advance, there is great hope of recovering the old Xinjiang. However, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, only wanted to use victory as capital against Jin Qihe, so they ordered the retreat, ruining the victory of this war. Extended reading: Alternative explanation for Yue Fei's death: Not by Qin Hui, it was Gao Zong's killing Extended reading: Alternative explanation for Yue Fei's death: Not by Qin Hui, it was Gao Zong's killing of Yue Fei after becoming a symbol of the spirit of national independence. After his abnormal death became a knot that has plagued everyone for 1000 years. According to folk dialect and novels, out of their own selfish interests and traitor nature, that damn Qin Hui and his wife Wang killed Yue Fei, who could have smashed Huanglong and completely defeated the Jin Dynasty, alive. The explanation given is still a "false" meaning, which means that there may be or there may not be any meaning. The subtext is, do there still need a reason to kill people? Based on this, Qin Hui, his wife and his best friend Wanqi could only kneel at the West Lake and could no longer stand up. Of course, later researchers all knew that when Yue Fei was killed, he was already a general at the level of deputy minister of national defense in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he still controlled quite powerful soldiers and horses. If he was killed in such a hasty way, it would be difficult for people to believe that Qin Hui and his like had this ability. As we all know, to determine whether a person is a criminal, in addition to determining that the person has basic elements such as motive and time to commit a crime, the ability to commit a crime is also very important. As a capable soldier of Gaozong, Qin Hui really did not have the ability to bear the full responsibility of killing a general of Yue Fei. After digging deep into historical data, some scholars found that Yue Fei actually died at the hands of Gaozong Zhao Gou. This statement is more reliable. It has been common for emperors to kill generals in ancient times. There is nothing strange about it. Not to mention killing generals, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed several prime ministers very casually. Working for the emperor, the difficulty lies in doing it well, being suspected by others, being killed, not doing it well, being laughed at by others, or possibly being killed. This is also an ancient practice. Everyone believes that Yue Fei had expressed his opinions on the issue of the emperor establishing the crown prince, but his opinions were quite extreme, which gave people the impression that he was the kind of person who felt very loyal and regarded the emperor's family affairs as his own business. However, for Gaozong, when he was fleeing from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, he encountered two generals mutiny (the "Miao and Liu Mutiny"). Because it came suddenly, he was forced to give up his position as emperor. He was extremely scared and his ability to have children was scared out (this was a small probability incident, which was too tragic). Gaozong also had a boy before, who was scared to death while running for his life because he was too young. Under such circumstances, in the reign of Gaozong, Zhao Gou was asked about the issue of establishing a governor. To be honest, it was really a matter of raising every pot. If he didn't grasp it well, he would be courting death. Yue Fei committed a big taboo in doing this. Everyone believed that abnormal death became his destiny. Yue Fei also had other environments that were not conducive to his survival. For example, Yue Fei was arrogant and offended many colleagues, including Han Shizhong, who was more polite to him. He would be childish to the emperor from time to time. On two occasions, because the emperor did not satisfy him, he directly abandoned the emperor, stood up for him, and went to Lushan to live in seclusion. These detailed historical facts have been unearthed, which is of great help to a comprehensive understanding of Yue Fei's death. At the very least, everyone now knows that because the slogan of welcoming the two emperors of Hui and Qin back to the court was entirely shouted and insisted on by Zhao Gou, and Yue Fei was just implementing it. You must know that the Song Dynasty also advocated governing the world with filial piety. Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei not because Yue Fei insisted on going straight to Huanglong to welcome the two sages back to the court, which would shake Zhao Gou's existing position. There was actually another reason why Yue Fei was unjustly killed. Speaking of which, it is very likely that he did not take into account the overall situation. At that time, the forces of the Southern Song Dynasty could only drive the Jin soldiers out of the Huaihe River area. Ezhou (now Wuhan City), where Yue Fei defended, the area controlled was the Jingzhou area (now Hubei and eastern Anhui) during the Three Kingdoms period. This was the central axis of the Southern Song Dynasty's defense against the Jin soldiers crossing the river. Yue Fei had 100,000 elite troops and often attacked near Kaifeng recklessly. You must know that fighting is burning money. What we need to pay attention to is, can the Southern Song Dynasty, which barely survive in the stormy weather, have the ability to burn money? According to the economic situation of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, it was already remarkable that a country established in the process of fleeing for its life could resist the Jin soldiers going south. But Yue Fei didn't listen and insisted on advancing rashly. That's why Zhao Gou recruited Yue Fei back after twelve gold medals. In doing so, what Zhao Gou actually wanted to express was "Brother Yue, brother, I really can't hold on any longer." For the fierce Jin Dynasty, it was actually very difficult to cross the Jianghuai region and eliminate the Song Dynasty. Jin Wushu once tried, mustered his energy, crossed the Yangtze River, and "searched the mountains and seas" to capture Zhao Gou. But Zhao Gou ran to the sea and spent several months of sleepless nights at sea. Unfortunately, the Jin army was all landlumpkins facing the sea. It was not the warmth of spring and the flowers were blooming, but the look at the ocean and sigh. I originally wanted to be stationed in Jiangnan for a long time, but these brothers who grew up drinking horse milk were really acclimatized. The resistance organizations in the south did not stop, and the Jin army had no choice but to withdraw from Jiangnan (it was still more important to save their lives). As a result, during the retreat, the Song army chased the Jin army's butt and fought all the way, winning several key victories (such as the Huangtiandang Water Battle). Jin's dream of quickly destroying the Southern Song Dynasty was completely ruined. The entire battlefield has entered a stage of stalemate, and no one can break the deadlock immediately. At this time, the best strategy for the Southern Song Dynasty was to negotiate peace, gather strength, adjust the economic structure, and recuperate. Any Northern Expedition that ignores reality is likely to be suicidal. However, Yue Fei couldn't see this. He was not an all-rounder and did not understand how important economic construction was to the Southern Song Dynasty at this time. When he led his fierce generals to swing their fists and smash at the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom was actually very happy and hoped that Yue Fei would drive straight in, so that Yue Fei's army could successfully fight all the way to the Yellow River many times. However, when the Jin army wanted to encircle the Yue family army along the Yellow River, the Yue family army did not give it in vain. After beating the main force of the Jin army to a loss of face, the entire army was able to safely withdraw to Hubei. But if we continue fighting endlessly like this, it will be a disaster for the Southern Song Dynasty and a disaster for the people of the Southern Song Dynasty. Before the Yue family army attacked the Central Plains, there were many civil unrest in the areas controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty. Among them, Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao in the Poyang Lake area caused the most vigorous actions. The Song Dynasty sent strong generals but did not destroy them. Yue Fei personally suppressed these people, collected the remnants of these people, and assembled them into a proper Yue family army. It can be said that if the rhythm of the war is not controlled, the people in Jiangnan will basically rebel inside and cooperate with the outside to welcome the Jin Army (People's Liberation Army) from the north to cross the river. The scene of a million troops crossing the river 800 years later may be staged in advance. If you see the people in the Southern Song Dynasty carrying pots and guiding oars and lining the streets to welcome the Jin Dynasty's liberation army south, what will you think? Of course, some people say that the commanders of major military regions should be in charge of administration and military affairs, and those who have money should fight, and those who have no money should rest first. The court mediated through this and commanded everyone to liberate the Central Plains and eliminate the Jin Dynasty. Speaking of which, this is good. However, the court did not dare to do this. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the evil examples of the warlord pattern were not far away. Needless to say, once these people master military and administrative affairs, there will inevitably be a separatist regime of warlords. As we all know, the rules set by Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty were mainly to prevent this situation from happening. Song Dynasty wouldn't care how he played it, but he would never dare to play it like this. It was precisely because of this scruple that from the beginning to the end, even if the Southern Song Dynasty court was so poor that it sold iron, it would still supply food, grass and materials to the troops of various military regions.(With the court behind it, the Yue family army could naturally freeze to death without demolishing houses, and starve to death without plunder). When Yue Fei was killed, Yue Fei had actually lost his actual control of the army. Generals such as Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun all consciously retired at home and enjoyed their blessings. Yue Fei was unwilling to do this. At that time, although many people could no longer support the hardships of the war, it would be a bit too cowardly to directly raise the idea of not liberating the north and unreasonable in public opinion. With Yue Fei around, Yue Fei became a banner of the war faction. The public opinion of risking his life in the Northern Expedition and fighting with the Jin Dynasty became difficult to eliminate. The Southern Song Dynasty had always had to face the danger of being dragged to death in the war. Killing Yue Fei became Zhao Gou's necessary choice. Only in this way can we pull down this banner, demonstrate our determination to rectify our thinking and thoroughly carry out the national policy of doing a solid job in internal construction. Later, Zhao Gou's successor Song Xiaozong Northern Expedition, has become the emperor Zhao Gou, is also supported. However, by this time, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui's notoriety had been spread far and wide, and everyone's awkwardness had been planted. It was too late to say anything.On this day, 885 years ago, on August 21, 1140 (July 7, the 1140 year of the lunar calendar), the Yue Family Army's victory in Yancheng revealed the inside story of Yue Fei's death.
