Why on earth is Song Gaozong eager to kill Yue Fei? What happened to Yue Fei that moved Long Lin?

Peace talks are in full swing. In the eighth year of Shaoxing (1 138), in November, Zhang Tonggu, the envoy of Jiangnan in Jin Dynasty, and Wang Lunnan, the envoy of Song Dynasty, came. According to the regulations, Song Gaozong must bow down to the angel of the rulers and become a bannerman. Emperor Gaozong said majestically: As long as the people are happy, they will not hesitate to compromise. Excitement, * * * the throne is presented like snowflakes, and military commanders include Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Xie Qian and Yang Cunzhong. And the civil servants are Li Gang, Zhang Jiucheng, Yin Sheng and Zhu Song.

Hu Quan, the editor of the Privy Council, wrote the most vehemently, denouncing the emperor for running out of people's blood and not caring, forgetting the national electrocution and not reporting it, saying that he was not related to Qin Gui, and insisted on beheading Qin Gui, Sun Jin and Wang Lun to thank the world. The emperor and Qin Gui became angry from embarrassment and exiled him to Lingnan. Then, on the pretext that Emperor Gaozong was mourning Hui Zong, Qin Gui and other zaizhi envoys bowed down to the gold on his behalf and accepted letters and conditions from the rulers.

In the first month of the ninth year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty, Bill Han made an envoy to repay the debt, Wang Lun made an envoy to protect Zigong, welcome the Empress Dowager, send it to the border, Kaifeng went north, and Wang Lun and Wanyanzongbi sent it to the border. In the Song Dynasty, Beijing, Henan and Shaanxi were nominally recovered. When Wang Lun got the information, Zongbi wanted to murder Tart Lazy and tear up the peace talks, so he sent someone back to the DPRK to report, suggesting that Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and Wu Wei should be sent to divide their forces in Henan and Shaanxi, so as not to lose the Central Plains again, and the emperor ignored them.

In May, Wang Lun continued northward. In the Jin Dynasty, Zhongzong suffered a coup, killed Zongpan, castigated against the Song Dynasty, overturned the peace treaty, took Zongbi as commander in chief, and attacked Song Jun in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Huai and Jingxi, and recovered Henan and Shaanxi in just one month.

Wang Lun denounced the treachery of the ruler before Emperor Xizong of Jin Dynasty and was imprisoned. In the fourteenth year of Shaoxing, the Jin people threatened him to be an official in the Jin dynasty, but he resolutely refused and was hanged by the Jin people. At that time, Wang Lun and his descendants had been reviled by people, but as a messenger of peace, he had no choice but to follow orders and had no illusions about the Jin people, not to mention the rumors in the later period, which could not be simply dismissed as capitulationists.

8 jin j's all-round attack broke Qin Gui's dream of being an emperor and knelt down for peace. Song Jun resisted or fought back at three stations. In the battlefield of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Wu U controlled all the military horses in Shaanxi and stopped Zhu Jin's fierce offensive. Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun played leading roles in the East Road battlefield. Han Shizhong army captured Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), but failed to enter Huaiyang. Zhang Jun and Wang De took an offensive in Huaixi and entered Suzhou and Bozhou. However, the war was mainly carried out in the middle battlefield, and the main force of the 8 Jin Army led by Yue Fei, Liu and Zong Bi confronted each other.

Liu served as the deputy left-behind in Tokyo, leading more than 10,000 people of the former Eight-character Army to the north. Shaoxing arrived in Shunchang Prefecture (now Fuyang, Anhui Province) in May of the 10th year. After receiving the news that 8 Jin Jun broke the contract and reoccupied Tokyo, he led his troops into the city and sank the ship, which showed his determination to cross the rubicon and stick to the old rules of the new magistrate. In just six days, he carefully deployed the defense of Shunchang City, so that the swarming 8 Jin J forwards could not find a bargain. The soldiers of the Eight-character Army said: Usually people bully me, but today they want to make contributions to the national thief!

In June, Zongbi personally led the main force to ride more than 100,000 troops to Shunchang City. In order to boost morale, he claimed that he could kick Shunchang City down with the tip of his boots, and a soldier would come to the Japanese government for dinner. He sent troops to attack the city, dispatched iron drifters, and abducted horses to attack Song Jun. 8 Jin Jun used to beat about the bush by the left and right cavalry, which was called abduction horses. The iron float map, also known as the iron tower soldier, depicts the iron tower dressed as a heavily armored cavalry. Every three horses are connected together with a leather rope, and they impact forward like a wall, which is most suitable for rushing.

It was a hot summer, and Liu held his ground. At noon, he saw that the soldiers of the Eight-character Army were exhausted and ordered them to take turns to attack and fight to the death. As a result, the Eight-character Army killed more than 5,000 people. Three days later, Zongbi couldn't support it and fled back to Kaifeng in a panic. Liu chased and attacked, killing more than ten thousand people. The battle of Shunchang defeated the momentum of 8 Jin Army going south.

After the Battle of Shunchang, Song * * * entered a strategic counterattack. With the goal of recovering Kaifeng, the old capital, Yue Fei never forgot his strategic policy of connecting the river with the new moon, ordered Liang Xing, the leader of the former anti-Jin rebel army, to cross the river, and joined the loyalty and justice governor's office to capture two rivers, counties and counties. He led a great army into Yancheng, and another one was stationed in Yingchang, forming a strategic siege of Kaifeng.

At the beginning of July, after more than a month's rest and supply, Zong Bi led fifteen thousand elite cavalry from Kaifeng to Yancheng, in an attempt to use the plain terrain, give full play to the advantages of kidnappers, and annihilate the main force of Yuejiajun in one fell swoop. Yue Fei personally went out and ordered his son Yue Yun and his beloved Yang Zaixing to gallop, using clever tactics, or making them turn or bow sideways, so that the kidnapper's horse could not exert its power. Seeing that the cavalry could not win the battle, Zongbi put the Tiefu Tujun into battle. Yue Fei ordered the infantry to go into battle and cut off the clues with sharp weapons such as hemp knives, knives and axes. As long as a horse leg is cut off, a group of three iron floating figure troops can only be passively beaten. I saw Yuegujun infantry pulling the enemy to ride and split, killing 8 Jin Jun corpses everywhere.

After Yue Fei won in Yancheng, he expected Zongbi to turn to Yingchang (now Xuchang, Henan), so he sent Yue Yun and others to help. In mid-July, Wu Shu led 30,000 cavalry troops to arrive at the gates of Yingchang, and subsequent reinforcements poured in, which was badly hit by Yuegujun. He had to station 100 thousand troops in Zhuxian Town, forty-five miles southwest of Kaifeng, in an attempt to stop Yue Fei from marching. However, after the 500 soldiers arrived at the Yuejiajun outpost, the Jin army fled in a slight confrontation. At this time, the northern rebels also responded in succession, and good news came from north to south frequently.

However, in order to reconcile with the rulers and ensure their own rule, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui ordered Yue Fei to transfer troops immediately. At that time, tens of thousands of Yuegujun were distributed in the central and western parts of Henan, Shaanxi and parts of the two rivers, with long fronts and scattered forces, while Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Liu were ordered to retreat or were retreating, and Yue Fei fell into a situation of fighting alone. In view of this situation, the most important thing is that your life is hard to be violated. In late July, Yue Fei refused the request of the adherents of the two rivers to continue the Northern Expedition against his will and ordered the transfer of troops. He watched Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui ruin the most promising Northern Expedition, lamented that ten years' achievements were wasted, and shouted with indignation: It is difficult to rejuvenate the country; Gankun world, there is no reason to reply! After Yue Jiajun withdrew to the south, Henan counties were quickly reoccupied by 8 Jin Army.

Yue Fei is Zongbi's real opponent. After Yancheng's victory, Jin Jun lamented that it was easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army. Zong Bi began to adopt the strategy of both peace and war. Although the peace talks between the two sides were suspended, the hotline contact was not interrupted. Zong Bi wrote a letter to Qin Gui, clearly stating the conditions: Yue Fei must be killed before peace can be achieved!

In the first month of the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Zong Bi led nearly 100,000 troops straight into Huaixi in an attempt to promote peace through war. Zhang Jun, Yang Cunzhong and Liu were sent to meet the enemy in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei was ordered to lead the troops eastward. Before Yue Fei arrived, Wang De, the ministry of Yang Cunzhong, Liu and Zhang Jun, had already defeated Jin Jun in (now northeast of Chaohu Lake, Anhui Province). Zhang Jun is going to take credit for the battle and send Yang Cunzhong and Liu Huijun. Unexpectedly, Zong Bi ordered Kong Yanzhou to attack Bozhou and hit Yang Cunzhong and Wang Dejun who came to the rescue. Yue Fei heard the news and Jin Jun crossed Huaibei safely.

Yue Fei's two reinforcements to Huaixi were slow by half a beat. The apparent reason is that I have a cold and cough (cold) and the troops are short of food. I wonder if anyone is dissatisfied with Emperor Gaozong's obstruction of the Northern Expedition. But this soon became an excuse for his persecution.

The emperor and Qin Gui have been deliberately reducing the military power of military commanders. Now, at the request of Wu Shu, relieving the relieving of the military power is linked with kneeling for peace. In April of the 11th year of Shaoxing, they adopted the proposal of promoting Fan and secretly arrested soldiers. They transferred Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to Lin 'an, and appointed Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong as ambassadors and Yue Fei as emissaries. The officers and men under the three generals, Huaixi, Huaidong and Jinghu, were all placed under the unified command and transfer of the three provinces and the Privy Council, and all of them were renamed as the command and unified army.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were suddenly surprised by the court's actions. Because Zhang Jun had made a behind-the-scenes deal with Qin Gui, he made an appointment with all the generals, and he was in charge of the relieving, so he took the lead in handing over the relieving. Fearing that Korea and Vietnam would join forces, Emperor Gaozong announced that Han Shizhong would stay in command, and Zhang Jun and Yue Fei went to Chuzhou, where the former Han family army was stationed, to deal with the war prevention.

What Zhang Jun did was dismember Han Jiajun and dismantle the defense in Jiangbei. Yue Fei, as a deputy, can do nothing. When Yue Fei knew that Qin Gui and Zhang Jun had instigated his cronies to frame Han Shizhong in an attempt to regain military power, he informed Han Shizhong. The waiter hurried to see Gaozong and cried, Gaozong knows that he is obedient except for resisting gold. He remembered that he had made great contributions to the rescue in the Miao-Liu rebellion and finally saved him.

Next, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui extended the black hand of persecution to Yue Fei. Among the generals in Du Nan, Yue Fei is the one with the lowest background, the greatest meritorious service and the strongest resistance to gold. Zhu believes that Yue Fei is the top priority of ZTE generals, but he says he relies on talents rather than luck. Indeed, honest and frank's faithfulness not only failed to protect himself, but also offended Emperor Gaozong in two major events, which deepened his jealousy and led to his death.

First, in April of the seventh year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei went to Lushan in a rage because Gao Zong reneged on the question of letting him command the northern expedition of Huaixi army. Emperor Gaozong regarded him as an important monarch. In view of the threat of Jin people, we had to comfort him and persuade him to go down the mountain. However, at the same time, those who caused Mao to violate the laws of our country have only one sword ear as a warning. When expressing their dissatisfaction, they have hidden dangers.

Secondly, in August of the same year, Yue Fei suggested that Gaozong set up a shop out of loyalty. This year, Emperor Gaozong was only thirty years old, and his only son, three-year-old Zhao Fang, died of fright. However, when he fled in Yangzhou, his sexual dysfunction caused by fright and his inability to give birth again became his unspeakable pain. Yue Fei's proposal to set up a national treasury has two taboos. First, it violated the taboo of impotence in the prime of Emperor Gaozong, and second, military commanders in the ancestral family law were not allowed to interfere in state affairs.

The emperor's disgust, jealousy and disgust can be imagined, and Yue Fei was really thoughtless. In addition, Yue Fei did not compromise on the anti-gold plan. Zong Bi killed Yue Fei in exchange for peace talks, and the emperor knelt down with Qin Gui to make peace, which was the fundamental measure to consolidate the throne and relative power. Therefore, Yue Fei had to die.

In July of the 11th year of Shaoxing, Qin Gui instigated his friend Wan Yi to impeach Yue Fei as an admonition officer. There are three charges of reversing right and wrong: one is to seek peace of mind in the future; The second is the battle of Huai, which is out of date; And the third is to be a teacher in Huaidong, which is demoralizing. The first count implies that Yue Fei resigned from Lushan Mountain, the second count refers to the failure to solve the siege of Huaixi in time, and the third count completely puts the responsibility of Zhang Jun's retreat on Yue Fei's head.

This month, Yue Fei realized the sinister situation, resigned from the post of Shangbiao, and begged Gaozong to keep it from beginning to end. He was dismissed as the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and he was replaced by a court official. However, Emperor Gaozong obviously didn't want to save him. On the political system, he said that Yue Fei was in deep trouble, bad news came, good expectations left a murder. Seeing that the tide was over, Han Shizhong voluntarily resigned as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and kept silent to protect himself.

Directed by Qin Gui, Zhang Jun used the opportunity of opening a secret official residence in Zhenjiang to coerce Yue Fei's ministries to control Wang Gui's submission, and bribed Wang Jun, the deputy governor, who reported Yue Fei's love to Wang Gui, and the deputy governor controlled Zhang Xian. After Yue Fei stopped fighting, he was framed to take the original Yue Jiajun away, threatening the court to return the soldiers to Yue Fei. Wang Gui sent ieee fellow's complaint to Zhenjiang official residence. Although Zhang Xian was tortured by Zhang Jun, he still refused to give in. Zhang Jun reported the matter to the court and falsely accused Zhang Xian of colluding with Yue Fei for rebellion.

Emperor Gaozong ordered the establishment of a special prison to hear Yue Fei's case. Ministers who broke the law in the Song Dynasty were mostly dealt with by Dali Temple, Kaifeng House or Lin 'an House. Only the important ones are sent to Yushitai prison, and the imperial edict is rarely used. The imperial edict was used to investigate rebel prisons, and it was up to the emperor to decide for himself, and the imperial edict temporarily appointed officials to investigate.

In October, Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun were put into Dali Temple prison. Neither Cheng nor Dali Temple Minister dared to be interrogated by imperial edict on Wednesday. When Yue Fei was on trial, he pulled open his coat and revealed the words "loyal to the country" tattooed on his back in his early years, showing his innocence and loyalty.

He Zhu didn't get a confession after repeated interrogation, so he argued to Qin Gui that Yue Fei was innocent. Qin Gui resigned from poverty and took him backstage, saying, This is a good idea. Although He Zhu impeached Yue Fei not long ago, his conscience was still alive and he said with indignation: I am just a Yue Fei, and my strong enemy has not been destroyed. I killed a general for no reason, lost my heart and sacrificed my long-term plan!

Qin Gui, with the consent of Emperor Gaozong, changed Wan Yi to an imperial envoy, extorted a confession by torture and forged unjust imprisonment. Yue Fei angrily wrote on the prison case that every day is clear! It's dawn! Eight characters, to the emperor and Qin Gui shouted out the last * * *.

Hearing that Yue Fei would be convicted of treason, many court officials wrote to rescue him. Even Han Shizhong, who wisely protected himself, stood up and confronted Qin Gui. What is the evidence of the so-called rebellion? Qin Gui stammered, It's not necessary. Han Shizhong said angrily: There are three words that are unnecessary, so how can we conquer the world! However, his wife, Wang, reminded her that it is easier to catch a tiger than to let it go, which added fuel to the fire. Emperor Gaozong was also determined to violate the ancestral law of not killing ministers. In the 11th year of Shaoxing (1142 65438+1October 27th), on December 29th, he personally ordered Yue Fei to be poisoned with poisoned wine, and Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were beheaded by military law.

Yue Fei once said: civil servants don't love money, I would like to die, and the world is peaceful! Yue Jiajun can freeze to death without tearing down the house or looting and starving to death. He was disciplined and brave, and was the most effective in the army at that time. In the War of Resistance Against Gold, Yue Fei's exploits and fame were far above those of other generals. He is also the only offensive general in Du Nan, and the most promising one to restore the Central Plains. After Yue Fei's death, recovery can only become an unattainable dream. A generation of anti-Golden Masters died in the hands of their own monarch, and this self-destructive behavior of the Great Wall aroused the regret and heartfelt reverence of future generations for national heroes.

Yue Fei's death is closely related to the complicated dispute between Shao Xing's peace talks and the second reduction of military strength. On this issue, the author once wrote a paper about the second reduction of troops in the Song Dynasty, which can be used for reference. However, cutting the military power did not necessarily lead to Yue Fei's death, because the military power of the three generals had indeed been successfully transferred to the hands of the three provinces and the Privy Council, and there was no sign of anti-lateral unrest. The emperor can save them from beginning to end. However, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui had their own ulterior motives and used each other in making peace, cutting soldiers and killing Yue Fei. In his opinion, Yue Fei became the biggest obstacle to his surrender. If he doesn't kill Yue Fei, it will be difficult to make peace. From the emperor's point of view, the killing of Yue Fei was not mainly for peace talks, but more importantly, the so-called detention and domineering punishment, so that he could control the generals, and because he hated Yue Fei's proposal to see the second emperor, he did not devote himself to himself and gave himself a bad breath. On the issue of Yue Fei's death, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Gui also played tricks on each other. So Yue Fei must die.

Shaoxing peace talks were signed in January before Yue Fei was killed, which also proved the fact that even if he knelt down for peace, Emperor Gaozong could not kill Yue Fei at all. The main terms of Shaoxing peace talks are: Song Emperor surrendered to Di Chin; The border between the two countries starts from the middle reaches of Huaihe River in the east and reaches Dasanguan in the west (now southwest of Baoji City in Shaanxi Province). The Song Dynasty was ceded to the Jin Dynasty, Tang (now Tanghe, Henan), Deng (now Dengxian, Henan), Shang (now Shangxian, Shaanxi) and Qin (now Tianshui, Gansu). Song Xiangjin paid 252,000 pieces of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk every year.

From the standpoint of the Song Dynasty at that time, surrender, cession and compensation were undoubtedly a humiliating treaty, not to mention that the Song Dynasty gained the upper hand in the war against Jin. But from another point of view, Shaoxing-Jinxing peace talks are the product of the relative geopolitical balance of Song and Jin Dynasties. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty had a slight advantage in the war, it might not really capture Huanglongfu in a short time and push the Song-Jin border north to the old Song-Liao border. Both the Song and Jin Dynasties were already suffering from years of war, and the Shaoxing Peace Conference was a formal confirmation of the confrontation pattern between the North and the South of the Song and Jin Dynasties.

Since then, the relationship between Song and Jin Dynasties has been dominated by peace. Although the two sides have had wars, this basic pattern has never changed. It is in this relatively stable confrontation pattern that the social economy in the north was restored and the social and economic center of the Southern Song Dynasty finally moved south. In this sense, Qian Daxin in Qing Dynasty thought that the situation of the Song and Jin Dynasties' peaceful discussion was reasonable and did not miscalculate.

In exchange for Shaoxing peace talks, in August of the twelfth year of Shaoxing, the Jin Dynasty returned Zi Gong and his biological mother, Empress Wei, to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the emperor staged a filial drama of Empress Dowager Cixi's burial. It is said that there was no body in the coffin, and the Jin people only put a piece of rotten wood. Emperor Gaozong dared not open the coffin for autopsy for fear of being humiliated again. Webster was humiliated by concubines in the Jin Dynasty. He was occupied by General Zong Xian of Hong Yan for fifteen years and gave birth to two sons. When the emperor was captured, he took great pains to raise his mother's age from 38 to 48, just to convince the world that a 50-year-old woman could never have that kind of thing, and all kinds of rumors were just slander from Jin people.

There is an additional condition for Shaoxing peace talks, that is, it is not allowed to go to see the Prime Minister with innocence, which deprives the Qin Gui Emperor of his right to recall and ensures his unshakable right. Therefore, from Shaoxing and Qin Gui's death, the political atmosphere in the Southern Song Dynasty showed unprecedented suffocation and darkness.
