Yue Fei was a famous anti-Jin general, military expert, strategist and national hero during the Southern Song Dynasty in China, and also the head of the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Fei led his troops to repeatedly resist the Jin soldiers, and defeated the Jin army at Haocheng and Yingchang, making Jin Wushu lament: "It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army!" ”
Unfortunately, in the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), Yue Fei, Yue Yun's father and son, and the general Zhang Xian were actually killed by Emperor Gaozong of Song and Qin Ju on the charge of "false accusations", which became the largest unjust case in thousands of years.
Although Yue Fei and Yue Yun's father and son died, Yue Fei still passed down many descendants, and among these descendants, there are many cattle people, below, the author will briefly describe the descendants of General Yue Fei.
After The deaths of Yue Fei and Yue Yun, the second son Yue Lei (then 15 years old) and the third son Yue Lin (then 12 years old) were sent into exile in Lingnan along with their mother, Lady Li. The fourth son Yue Zhen (then 7 years old) and the fifth son Yue Ting (then 3 years old) crossed the Yangtze River under the protection of domestic servants, dived on the banks of the Huangmei River, and later moved into Niejia Dawan.
Yue Fei's descendants are mainly inherited from the third son Yue Lin, yue Lin left two sons, the eldest son Yue Chun, the second son Yue Ke, and their descendants often have outstanding figures.
After Yue Fei's unjust case was revealed, Yue Lin was summoned by Song Xiaozong, who took Yue Lin's hand and said, "The Discipline of the Qing Family and the use of military methods, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong are far behind. The Qing family has been wronged, and they know it. ”
Yue Lin was determined to collect his father's manuscripts, and he went to Emperor Xiaozong to request the return of the imperial seals and edicts given by Emperor Gaozong of Song in that year, so that they could be comprehensively added, deleted, and examined.
Unfortunately, the manuscript was not completed, but Yue Lin was seriously ill and incurable, and when he was dying, he could only entrust this heavy responsibility to his second son Yue Ke: "The son can become my ambition, Xueerzu has made a wrong, and I am blind to death!" ”
Adhering to his father's aspirations, Yue Ke wrote books such as "Defending Heaven and Defending Heaven" and "Heavenly Dinglu" in Jintuofang, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, which were collected into the "Jin Tuo Zhi Compilation" (28 volumes, 30 volumes continued), defending his grandfather Yue Fei, and the Jin Tuo Zhi Compilation is also an important material for studying the history of Yue Fei and the Southern Song Dynasty. Because Yue Ke lived in Jin Tuo Fang, later generations called Yue Ke this line as Jin Tuo Branch.
Yue Ke's heirs passed to Yue Lin (Yue Fei's seventh grandson), Song Duzong's reign as the head of the Jin Ministry; Yue Lin's fifth grandson passed to Yue Mao (Yue Fei's twelfth grandson), who was a Rongshou official of the Yuan Dynasty; Yue Mao's fifth grandson passed to Yue Jiugao (Yue Fei's seventeenth grandson), the Ming Dynasty's General Counselor, the Right Deputy Capital of the Metropolitan Court, and his younger brother Yue Jiude, a senior political master of the Ming Dynasty, a general envoy, and a Shangshu of the Nanjing Bingbu.
Yue Jiugao's son Yue Hesheng (岳和声) was a jinshi in the 20th year of the Wanli Dynasty (1592), the prince of the Later Fenghuai Domain, the governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs, with outstanding political achievements, Qin Zhi Bo Jin Feng, and the posthumous burial; Yue Jiude's eldest son Yue Junsheng, the 38th year of the Wanli Dynasty (1610) Jinshi, successively served as the Zhengqing of the Taichang Temple of the Cao Reserve Road in the Seven Provinces, the envoy of the Tongzheng Government and the second son of The Second Son of Yue Jiude, Yue Yuansheng, the eleventh year of the Wanli Dynasty (1583), the left shilang of the Nanjing Bingbu, the gift of Shangshu, the Sima of the Seven Provinces, and the posthumous burial.
Yue Dazhou (Yue Fei's 16th grandson) served as the commander of LijiangWei in Guangxi during the Ming Dynasty, and then accompanied the army tun in Lintao Province, Gansu.
Yue Dazhou's son Yue Zhongwu (Yue Fei's seventeenth grandson) joined the army in the 20th year of the Wanli Calendar (1592) to serve in Yongtai Fort in Zhuanglangwei (present-day Yongdeng, Lanzhou, Gansu), and settled in Yusi with his family, who was originally a descendant of Yue Fei, Yongtai Zhizu.
Yue Zhongwu's son Yue Wenkui (Yue Fei's eighteenth grandson) was given the third class of Shaobao. Yue Wenkui also passed on Yue Zhenbang (Yue Fei's 19th grandson).
Yue Zhenbang was deeply influenced by family style since childhood, and his upright nature, in order to prevent foreign invasion, he sold his private land and property, recruited young and middle-aged people from the countryside to form local armed forces to resist Mongolian raids, in order to maintain the tranquility of one side.
The Mongol Dorgy tribe came to harass, and Yue Zhenbang led the township bravery and officers and soldiers to repel the enemy five times, and finally captured the enemy leader Hui Dorji. Since then, Yue Zhenbang's reputation has been greatly enhanced. The imperial court also greatly appreciated his righteous deeds and military talents, and awarded yongtai camp general and thousand general in an exceptional manner. Yue Zhenbang was eventually promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and governor of Datong Town, Shanxi.
Yue Zhenbang was powerful enough, but his descendants were even more powerful.
Yue Zhenbang's eldest son Yue Shenglong (Yue Fei's 20th grandson), who had followed the Kangxi Emperor in his conquest of Gardan, later served as the viceroy of Sichuan and the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, died of illness in the fifty-first year of Kangxi (1712), and in the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), he posthumously honored "Minsu".
Yue Zhenbang's second son, Yue Chaolong, served as the commander-in-chief of Tianjin and the viceroy of Huguang.
Yue Chaolong's son Yue Zhonghuang (Yue Fei's 21st grandson), when he was young, served in the army of his cousin Yue Zhongqi and participated in the campaign against Qinghai Lobzang Tenjin and "King Zhuanglang", which was tempered by the fire of war. Later, he successively served as a staff general and deputy general of the Weimao camp in Sichuan, the chief soldier of the towns of Jianning in Fujian, Nangan in Jiangxi, Zhaohua in Yunnan, and Zhaotong in Yunnan, and the viceroy of Guangxi and Sichuan.
It should be said that among Yue Fei's descendants, the most famous in battle, and the merit comparable to Yue Fei is Yue Zhongqi (Yue Fei's twenty-first grandson), the son of Yue Shenglong.
In the fifty-eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1719), the Dzungar clan Tsewang Alabutan rebelled, and Kangxi made the fourteenth prince Yin Yu a major general, Gar Bi a general of Dingxi, and Yue Zhongqi the vanguard of the conquest.
Yue Zhongqi, who was 33 years old at the time, opened the road all the way to the mountains and bridged the water, and the sharp edge was exposed, breaking the enemy like a broken bamboo, and it was unstoppable.
Yue Zhongqi once took only 600 people to calm the rebellion in Litang and Batang, killed more than 3,000 rebels, and deterred the enemy' guts.
After that, Yue Zhongqi led 4,000 people to Qamdo. Along the way, he recruited tens of thousands of households in six departments, opened a direct passage to Larry, and paved the way for the subsequent march of large troops. In the triumph of countering the rebellion, Yue Zhongqi was appointed as the Governor of Zuo, the Governor of Sichuan, and the Peacock Plume.
In the first year of the Yongzheng Dynasty (1723 AD), the Qinghai Mongols and Shuobu Lobzang Tenjin rebelled in an attempt to split parts of Qinghai and the Hexi Corridor.
Yue Zhongqi accompanied the general Nian Qianyao on a campaign as a counselor general, and in this counter-rebellion, Yue Zhongqi took advantage of the scattered characteristics of the enemy and led the elite cavalry, "three hundred miles a day and night, and when he did not see the prisoners, he went out for fifteen days and slashed 80,000 ranks."
In only fifteen days, it recovered all 600,000 to 700,000 square kilometers of territory in the Qinghai region occupied by the rebels, which is one of the famous battles in the history of ancient warfare.
In April of the third year of Yongzheng (1725), Nian Qianyao was relieved of his military power because of his trek, and Yongzheng ordered Yue Zhongqi to be the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and added the title of Shangshu of the Bingbu Department. In the same year, Yue Zhongqi led the seal of "General Ningyuan" and quelled the rebellion launched by the Dzungar Ministry in collusion with Tsarist Russia.
In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Yue Zhongqi again received the seal of "General Ningyuan" and quelled the rebellion launched by the Mongol Gardanze zero with the support of Tsarist Russia. Yue Zhongqi Town guarded the border pass, which can be described as a chaotic and prosperous achievement, and its prestige is far and wide.
Yue Zhongqi's fame at this time was already famous, and it was inevitable that there would be a big trick, especially at this time, the Qing Dynasty had ruled for nearly a hundred years, the world was already peaceful, and the so-called "cunning rabbit died, the lackey cooked".
In October of the 10th year of Yongzheng (1732), Yongzheng used the excuse that Yue Zhongqi was ineffective in attacking the Dzungars, and exempted the officials from detention for "misleading the country and losing grace".
In the twelfth year of Yongzheng (1734 AD), yue Zhongqi was "beheaded" before Yue Zhongqi's other crimes had been found. Perhaps because he felt that things were too hasty, when Yue Zhongqi was about to become the second Yue Fei to be unjustly killed on the charge of "false accusations", Yongzheng "gave extrajudicial grace" and changed to "beheading the prison".
In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735 AD), the Yongzheng Emperor died unexpectedly and suddenly, and Qianlong succeeded to the throne. Two years later, in the second year of Qianlong (1737), the 51-year-old Yue Zhongqi was finally released after five years of imprisonment.
Soon, rebellions in Sichuan, big and small Jinchuan and other places resumed, and the local generals fought for a long time without success. In desperation, in the thirteenth year of Qianlong (1748), Qianlong had no choice but to use Yue Zhongqi, a former famous general who had been a commoner for ten years, and once again awarded him the title of Viceroy of Sichuan and gave him peacock plumes.
Subsequently, Yue Zhongqi participated in the Battle of Jinchuan, offering a strategy of attacking from the north and south and directly attacking the backbone, which was adopted by Fu Heng, and rode into the camp of Lewuwei (present-day Jinchuandong, Sichuan) with 13 horses to persuade the father and son of the Great Jinchuan Tusi Shaluoben to surrender.
In the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750), the Tibet Gurmat Namzal rebellion, the then 64-year-old Yue Zhongqi was ordered to send troops to Kangding, together with the governor Celen, successfully quelled the rebellion.
In the nineteenth year of Qianlong (1754), when Yue Zhongqi went out to suppress Chen Kun with a serious illness, he died of illness in Zizhou, Sichuan, and was buried in Chengdu at the age of 68. The Qianlong Emperor gave praise and encouragement, and gave him the title of "Xiangqin".
Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the Han chinese who were ministers were worshipped as great generals, and even the Manchu warriors obeyed his orders, and yue Zhongqi was the only one. In the suppression of the Qinghai Rebellion, the 720,000 square kilometers of Qinghai were all subordinate to the Qing Dynasty, and 1.23 million square kilometers of Tibet were included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
In his nostalgic poems, the Qianlong Emperor listed Yue Zhongqi as one of the five heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and also praised: "The three dynasties are martial artists, and Zhong Qi is a giant." ”
