The two Song Dynasties were the most materially rich era in China's history, and a large number of high-tech technologies also emerged in an endless stream, but unfortunately the living conditions were good, but the spirit of courage and martial arts of the people was gone, especially the rulers at that time were even more unwilling to forge ahead, one was more spineless than the other, and the northern homeland was not recovered, and only the southern life would be lived.
The so-called people have no far-reaching worries, but they will have near-term worries. The Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty defended the military generals in his family, but he was frightened by the strong ethnic minorities, and actually chose to open the door and surrender despite the opposition of the people below. At that time, Xiangwen Tianxiang did not approve of this practice, and he wanted to revive the small imperial court that had already perished, so he set up another emperor to organize a group of bloody armies to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Helplessly, the general situation has gone, the combat strength of the Yuan Dynasty army is quite strong, coupled with the assistance of the general, Wen Tianxiang finally failed to defend the city, and he was unfortunately captured.
Seeing that it was a high-ranking official who had been captured, the Yuan army took out a consistent method to persuade him to write a letter to persuade the local defenders who were still insisting on resisting behind. Wen Tianxiang took the brush and wrote a poem in one breath, waiting for the entourage to be sent to the Yuan General, who wrote it well! Why did the enemy praise him for writing well, and why he was martyred in the end.
In fact, Wen Tianxiang developed well on the battlefield, he raised his arms, many people came to support, and most of Jiangxi was soon re-incorporated into the arms of the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and taking advantage of his underdevelopment, the Yuan Dynasty sent a good warrior to attack. Wen Tianxiang, who was still covered in blood, did not dare to face each other, and could only retreat to Tingzhou to rectify first. However, the Yuan army pushed fast, he had no choice but to take a battle, after losing some soldiers and horses, he took the remnants to Nanling, and then quickly withdrew to Chaoyang.
Ben wanted to take a break, who knew that the Yuan army forcibly arrived, and then launched an attack. Wen Tianxiang was defeated again and again, retreated to Wupo Ridge, and planned to go up the mountain to fight a guerrilla war. Ne Zhiyuan army mobilized elite horses to detour and attacked his army in one fell swoop. In the confusion Chinese Tianxiang's soldiers were defeated and captured.
The general of the Yuan Dynasty at that time was Zhang Hongfan, who was a general of the Song Dynasty, and when he saw that the Southern Song Dynasty was not safe, he surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. He was a Song man, he knew that it was easy to collect land, it was difficult to collect people's hearts, and at that time, Wen Tianxiang's reputation was like the sun in the sky, if he could descend, it would prove that the Song Dynasty was unpopular, and naturally it would also return to the Yuan Dynasty. In order to summon Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Hongfan personally untied him, and treated him with courtesy, analyzed the general situation of the world, and persuaded him to surrender.
Who knew that Wen Tianxiang sat there and ignored it, and had no intention of surrendering at all, so Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to take him to the boat first and wait until he was knocked down the cliff mountain. At this time, on the cliff mountain, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie were standing around the seven- and eight-year-old little emperor, and they were gathering a force of men and horses to hold on.
Zhang Hongfan again took Wen Tianxiang and asked him to write a letter to persuade Zhang Shijie to surrender. Wen Tianxiang tried to him the way of the king, but Zhang Hongfan did not listen and forced him to write a letter. Seeing that the former Southern Song Dynasty generals had an iron heart and wanted to be traitors, Wen Tianxiang knew that there was no hope of restoring the country, so he waved a big wave and wrote a famous desperate poem. Zhang Hongfan took a look at it and saw it above:
After a hard time, the stars fell around.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and the life is floating and raining.
The panic beachhead said trepidation, zero Ding Yang sighed zero Ding.
All men are mortal? Leave Dan in his heart.
Seeing such a good article, Zhang Hongfan couldn't help but blurt out: Well written! This poem is written with the courage of a loyal subject, and even the enemy admires it. Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing zero Ding Yang" gives people a tragic feeling when read, and many people see the iron bones of the literati, especially the last two sentences, which are even more popular and have long become famous sentences for thousands of years.
