Guo Jing is the most famous protagonist in Jin Yong's pen, and also the most well-known protagonist. In China, there are definitely more people who know Guo Jing than people who know Xiangyang, and many people know the city of Xiangyang through Guo Jing.
Guo Jingshou Xiangyang became the most brilliant chapter in the history of martial arts.
So is there a prototype for Guo Jing, a martial arts figure, in history?
Of course there is, and there is more than one.
The following small editor will take you to know the prototype of Guo Jing in history.
A Guo Jing, Jin Yong took his name and soul
There is indeed a hero named Guo Jing in history.
He was a native of Sichuan during the Southern Song Dynasty and served as an inspector of the Gaoqiao local tycoons. Patrol inspection is a kind of grass-roots military attaché set up in the Song Dynasty, responsible for training armor soldiers, patrol and defense, etc., with heavy authority, and is controlled by the county order of the locality.
At that time, the highest official of Sichuan was Wu Xi. He was appointed deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and zhizhou in Xingzhou, and also served as an envoy in Shaanxi and Hedong.
But this person is the prototype of Yang Kang. He ceded the prefectures of Jiezhou, Chengzhou, Hezhou, and Fengzhou to the Jin State outside Guanwai, drove out Cheng Song, the envoy of Xuanfu, Sichuan, and proclaimed himself the "King of Shu". Typical traitor to the country for glory.
Wu Xi betrayed the Southern Song Dynasty, but the people of Sichuan were reluctant to submit to the Jin Dynasty. Guo Jing is one of them. Guo Jing abandoned the local land, took the old man and children, and planned to move along the Jialing River to the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The dog official immediately sent someone to drive Guo Jing and the others back.
When Guo Jing was forced to march to Baiya Pass, he said to his younger brother Guo Duan: "My family is a royal people, since the Jin people have committed crimes, my brothers cannot repay the country with death, take refuge and enter the pass, and now they are expelled by Xi, I can't bear to abandon the Han crown, I am willing to die here, as a ghost of the Zhao clan." ”
After he said this, he immediately jumped into the Jialing River and generously died.
2. Guo Baoyu and Guo Kan's grandsons, prototypes of the Western Expedition
Guo Baoyu (郭宝玉), a native of Zheng County, Huazhou (present-day Hua County, Shaanxi Province), was a descendant of the famous Tang Dynasty general Guo Ziyi and a general of the Mongol Empire. Genghis Khan marched west to the main general of Huarazimo and led the Mongolian army to sweep through the capital of Huarazimo, Samarkan.
His grandson Guo Kan followed Hulagu on an expedition to West Asia, and alone in West Asia repeatedly destroyed more than 120 cities of the Islamic army and more than 180 cities of the Crusaders, and fought against many countries, and his footprints crossed Kashmir, feared by the people in the lands he conquered, and even his opponents exclaimed "General Dongtian, God man also".
3. Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui, Shou Xiangyang prototype
Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui were both righteous soldiers recruited by the people to guard Xiangyang.
The city of Xiangyang was besieged for five years, and the Song Dynasty built a hundred light boats on the "Qingni River" northwest of Xiangyang, connecting three small boats together, one in the middle loaded with soldiers, and the left and right two hollowed out the bottom and covered with a cover. Song will recruit dead soldiers as the main force in this operation.
Zhang Shun was called "Dwarf Zhang", Zhang Gui was called "Bamboo Garden Zhang", zhi yong and both complete, and was recruited as the capital.
When the Han River rose, they sent out a hundred warships and slowly entered the bottom of Tuanshan Mountain. After two days, they entered the port of Gaotou, and after the fortifications were arranged, the ships were equipped with muskets, artillery, blazing charcoal, giant axes, and crossbows. That night, set sail out of the river, using a red light as a signal. Zhang Gui was the vanguard, and after Zhang Shundian, they rode the wind and waves and quickly broke through the siege.
Above Mohong Beach, the yuan army's warships were all over the river, densely packed, and extremely well defended. Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui led the soldiers to take advantage of the sharp morale to cut off hundreds of enemy ships connected with iron cables, fought a bloody battle for more than twenty miles, and arrived at xiangyang city at dawn.
When Xiangyang collected the army, he did not see Zhang Shun.
A few days later, a floating corpse went up against the current, wearing battle armor and holding a bow and arrow, all the way to the bottom of the pontoon bridge, and people saw that it was Zhang Shun, who had been shot four shots and six arrows, and his face was full of anger, as if he was still alive.
The generals thought he was a god, so they buried him with a monument and a temple to worship him.
Like Guo Jing, he was the patron saint of Xiangyang.
The four Hanfei generals Li Guang and Jin Yong took their gods
The real historical prototype that resembles Guo Jing is Li Guang, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty.
Li Guang and Guo Jing have many similarities.
They are very good at riding and shooting. Li Guang shot stones, which have been passed down through the ages. Guo Jing is a sharpshooter on the grassland, famous for shaking the desert.
Both have a close relationship with the prairie birds of prey and the legendary crane.
Li Guang was a shooting eagle general who captured the Xiongnu. Guo Jing shot two large eagles with an arrow on the grassland.
Li Guang came and went, acted like electricity, threatened the enemy, and was called "Flying General" by the Xiongnu. Guo Jing led his warriors to fall from the snowy peaks into the city when attacking the capital of Huarazimo, and in the hearts of the Mongols, he was also a general who fell from the sky.
They all have certain military command skills.
Although Li Guang's talent was unparalleled in the world and his outstanding military achievements, he was ultimately unable to be crowned marquis.
Guo Jing was a martial artist and had the help of the resourceful Huang Rong, but the Mongols were powerful and ultimately failed to defend Xiangyang.
