One is called Qubing and the other is Qiji;
One is a famous genius general in the Western Han Dynasty, and the other is a general and poet with both civil and military skills in the Southern Song Dynasty;
A man in bright clothes and an angry horse yelled, "The Huns are not destroyed, how can we take care of our family?", and a fresh-blooded man yelled, "Finish the king's affairs in the world and win his reputation before and after him."...
However, there is a thousand years between them. Over the years, the two people who had the same cheating starting point ended up with completely unexpected endings.
History is always surprisingly similar: feel the similarities and differences between the two big guys
They all have the same names, and you still say there is no fate?
Qiji, Qubing, such rhyming names, dare I say it was not intentional? That's right, Xin Qiji got this famous name thanks to his grandfather who was a die-hard fan of Huo Qubing. Now, the Xin family's grandfather is definitely a CP leader, and it's hard for him to come up with such a sweet name.
Huo Qubing can be called the God of War. He was awarded the title of Champion Marquis at the age of 17, was granted the title of Lang Juxu in the Battle of Mobei, and was undefeated in six battles with the Huns. He has become the highest pursuit of Chinese military generals in the past! With such an idol in front of him, the grandfather of the Xin family thought: With a name similar to General Huo, maybe his grandson could be as brave as him and make immortal contributions to the country?
I don’t know if it has something to do with the name. The first half of Xin Qiji’s life was very similar to Huo Qubing. Most people know his name because of his popular lyrics, but in fact, Xin Qiji's business card ranks first as a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and second as a poet.
Somewhat similar to Huo Qubing's twists and turns of life, Xin Qiji seemed to be born into a wealthy official family. His grandfather Xin Zan served as an official in the Jin Kingdom and became a doctor in the imperial court. However, behind the superficial wealth is an unknown bitterness.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers went south to capture Jinan. Xin Zan was unable to escape in time and move south due to the large population of his clan and lack of money and food. It was this delay, coupled with increasingly strict border inspections, that made it impossible to escape back to the Southern Song Dynasty again. In order for his family to have enough to eat, he was forced to serve in the Kingdom of Jin. He surrendered to the enemy's country against his will and suffered terribly in his heart. But because of his old age and frailty, he longed for the opportunity to take up arms and fight the Jin people to the death. So, he placed his hopes on his young grandson.
The people of the Song Dynasty suffered humiliation under the iron heel of the Jin soldiers
From the time Xin Qiji became sensible, his elders told him: "We are Han people, and we have an irreconcilable relationship with the Jin people." The hatred of the country and the family cannot be forgotten just because the life is comfortable now." Not only that, Xin Zan also took action, taking Xiao Xin Qiji up to the mountains and looking into the distance, telling him that the humiliating history was buried in his heart. A seed was planted to fight against gold and save the country. In addition, he grew up in the northern part of the Jin Kingdom and witnessed with his own eyes the humiliation of the Han people being enslaved and bullied by the Jin people, which made his character become jealous and hateful, and he had a chivalrous spirit like "Jing Ke", a strange man from Yan and Zhao.
He practiced martial arts and swords since he was a child. Like Huo Qubing, he set his ambition to restore his territory and avenge his country's humiliation. At that time, he was also in his teens.
With courage and fighting ability, I will not lose
Many people believe that naming is a kind of metaphysics that will affect a person's fortune. Others dare not say it, but Xin Qiji seems to have really inherited Huo Qubing's cheating fighting ability.
When he was 21 years old, Wan Yanliang, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, invaded the south on a large scale and continued to squeeze the Song people living in the north. This made the passionate Xin Qiji so angry that he gathered 2,000 men and joined the uprising army led by his fellow countryman Geng Jing. He served as secretary-general and fought against the Jin Kingdom from the rear with open swords and guns. It didn't take long for his amazing fighting power to become apparent.
Xin Qiji showed off his skills on the battlefield
At that time, Xin Qiji had a good friend, the monk Yi Duan. In those troubled times, monks no longer stayed in temples to chant sutras and ring bells, but went to war with thousands of troops. He was persuaded by Xin Qiji and surrendered to Geng Jing's army. However, people's hearts are so far apart from each other, who would have thought that this monk Yi Duan, who has "righteousness" in his name, is actually an unjust villain.
One night, when Xin Qiji was unprepared, he stole Geng Jing's handsome seal and fled to Jinying overnight to claim credit. The criminal escaped, and Geng Jing had no choice but to demand military punishment of Xin Qiji on the grounds that "you introduced him, and you are also responsible." How could a man as magnanimous as Lao Xin bear the anger of being wronged? He immediately led his troops in pursuit and successfully intercepted the fleeing men. He raised his sword and chopped off Yi Duan's bald head.
In the end, not only was he not severely punished, but he was also praised in the military for his quick pursuit of the traitors.
This is nothing. The next year, he was ordered to contact the Southern Song Dynasty court on behalf of the rebel army. On the way back, he suddenly heard that Geng Jing had been killed by the traitor Zhang Anguo who was greedy for the golden man's reward. It was not easy to gather together. The rebels fled in all directions like headless flies. This made Xin Qiji so angry that he vowed to kill Zhang Anguo to avenge Geng Jing! He didn't care at all how many men and horses he had in hand now, he rushed towards the enemy camp of tens of thousands of people with only fifty people. At that time, Zhang Anguo and the Jin Bing generals were drinking in the mansion. Xin Qiji led a group of men and horses and rushed in angrily. Without saying a word, he tied him up, hung him on his horse and galloped away. While running, he shouted, "Our 100,000-strong army has already come to kill us. Stop following the Golden Dog and return to the Southern Song Dynasty with me!" Hearing Xin Qiji's cry, the melon-eaters who didn't understand why were shaken. In the end, tens of thousands of rebels brought by Zhang Anguo followed him. The speed was so fast that Jin Bing had no time to react. When I came back to my senses, I could no longer catch up...
50 people fought hard against 50,000 people and captured the enemy leader. What is this but taking the head of a general out of a million soldiers? He single-handedly led fifty people out of a battle of fifty thousand people. Isn’t that a true champion of the three armies?
When you are frustrated, try an idol.
After defeating more with less and bravely capturing Zhang Anguo, Xin Qiji became famous in one battle. However, he, who was only twenty-five years old at the time, could never have imagined that not only would he later fail to achieve another record like Huo Qubing, but he would eventually regain the lost territory for the country and wash away the humiliation suffered by the Song people, and even lead troops to fight became a luxury.
After he returned to the Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou also strongly praised his heroic behavior and wanted to grant him an important official position in the court. However, conservative forces jumped in and pushed him out of the way. Made a Jiangyin signing. In this way, Xin Qiji began his political career in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Unfortunately, this road was more tortuous than he imagined. Growing up in the north under the enslavement of the Jin people, Xin Qiji did not understand the urinal nature of the Southern Song Dynasty court. He thought that resisting the invasion with such vigor must have the perseverance and determination to regain the lost territory and avenge the humiliation. Unexpectedly, this girl is actually a coward! He was passionate about fighting against the Jin Dynasty and serving the country. He kept advising the emperor and wrote the famous "Ten Essays on Meiqin" and "Nine Discussions". The common people praised him one after another, but the court turned a blind eye. He seemed to pretend not to see it, and finally banned him directly.
Fortunately, Xin Qiji's ability to withstand beatings is also excellent. Since you won't let me fight, I will show you some political achievements. He quickly plunged into the complicated local official affairs. No matter where he was transferred to serve, he could do an outstanding job. However, reality did not treat him kindly. On the one hand, the imperial court did not allow him to kill thieves with a sword, regain the lost territory in the Northern Expedition, and fulfill his long-cherished wish; on the other hand, because of his embarrassing status as a "reformed man" and his heroic and stubborn character, he was squeezed out of his promotion in the officialdom. It is even more difficult.
Looking at the sword with the light on: The sword is rusting quickly, but the will is not gone
When he was extremely depressed, he used his pen as a sword and wrote "Watching the sword while drunk, I dreamed of blowing the trumpet" "Battle" ("Broken Zhenzi: Compose a eloquent poem for Chen Tongfu"). After getting drunk, he looked at the sword he had used to kill the enemy under the lamp, as if he had returned to the rebel army that resisted the Jin Dynasty, but he " The great ambition of "ruling the affairs of the world", but I don't know when it will be realized.
Leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, Xin Qiji felt sad thinking that no one understood his ambition to fight against the Jin Dynasty
When he climbed up and looked into the distance, he said again, "Look at Wu Gou and take pictures of the railing, but no one knows." Meeting, coming to the heart." ("Shuilongyin: Dengjiankang Shangxin Pavilion") and Yue Fei's "I want to express my thoughts to the Yaoqin. I have few friends, but who will listen when the string is broken." "Continuously Singing") have different approaches but the same purpose. Unfortunately, they were all loners of that era. No one knew their thoughts about serving the country, and no one knew about the Northern Expedition to avenge their shame.
Finally, in his later years, Han Yuzhou, who advocated the Northern Expedition, came to power and appointed people from the main war faction, but Xin Qiji was already over sixty years old. He thought of his grandfather who named himself "Qiji", hoping to regain the country's mountains and rivers like Huo Qubing. "Yuanjia hastily sealed the wolf in Xu, and won the hasty visit to the north." ("Yong Yu Le·Bei Gu Pavilion, Jingkou" "Nostalgia") It is no longer possible to make contributions like General Huo...
After writing this poem, there was not much time left for him. At the age of sixty-eight, when Qianshan received the imperial edict to again appoint him as Privy Councilor, he was already so ill that he could not get out of bed.
In the end, full of unwillingness and grief, he shouted "Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves!" ("Kangxi Jinan Mansion Chronicles·Characters") and breathed his last breath.
Huo Qubing sealed the title of Langjuxu—obtained the highest honor of ancient soldiers in just 20 years
Xin Qiji and Huo Qubing are not only lovers, they are also full of enthusiasm for serving the country. , extraordinary combat ability and invincible courage. But compared to Huo Qubing, Lao Xin was still less lucky.
His status as a "reformed man" prevented him from being like Huo Qubing, who had the empress as his aunt and his uncle as a general, and was able to flourish in the officialdom and fully display his ambitions; nor could he meet anyone who trusted Huo Qubing to expand his territory. The monarch, conquered all directions and severely defeated the enemies in the north...
Huo Qubing died young. He only had a short life of twenty years, but he extended the width of his life infinitely. He made a surprise attack from thousands of miles to the royal court of the Huns and sealed the wolf in Xu. Defeating the Huns in one fell swoop, like a shining meteor across the sky of the Han Dynasty. And Xin Qiji, under the cowardly Southern Song Dynasty court, even if he had the patriotic ambition to restore the Central Plains, he could only watch the years go by and his hair grow gray, but there was nothing he could do...
