"Soldiers? Cream sharpening. Min'an in? Fill in the gullies. Sighing the country, a thousand villages are few. On the other day, he asked the Miao Ti Rui Brigade to cross the Qinghe Luo with a whip. But he returned, continued the Hanyang tour, and rode the Yellow Crane. ——Yue Fei, "Manjiang Hong, Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower"
Yue Fei's more than ten years of military career, in the entire Southern Song Dynasty is like a sword, and the fragile and weak courtiers are not the same, he has always insisted on resisting Jin, insisting on recovering Heshan, he did indeed do this, swinging the Northern Expedition, defeating the Jin army, quickly recovering Zhengzhou and Luoyang, but unfortunately finally framed by traitors, which also doomed the end of the Southern Song Dynasty to belong to the self-destruction of the Great Wall, but although the hero died, the spirit lasted forever, in the later Qing Dynasty, people witnessed a "Yue Fei 2.0".
This Yue Fei 2.0 is called Yue Zhongqi, when Yue Fei died, the third son Yue Lin, the fourth son Yue Zhen, the fifth son Yue Ting, although exiled, but eventually escaped a disaster, after Yue Fei was rehabilitated, they insisted on collecting Yue Fei's relics and compiled a set of "Eguo Jin Tuo Zhi Compilation", Yue Fei's poems were also able to regain their glory, and they were even more poor and virtuous in official work, and they treated people sincerely, and passed on the Yue Fei family training of "being right after oneself can be right, and then one can govern oneself".
Yue Zhongqi was also deeply touched by it, as the 21st grandson, all day long to learn literature and martial arts, especially the most favorite soldier book, when everyone was still pinching mud, he created his own game of stone array fighting, and there were punishments, but he did not suffer, repeated battles and victories, other teenagers were afraid that he was afraid of it, and when he grew up a little, he would find the soldiers to talk about the soldiers, which was ingenious, so that many people were amazed and willing to bow to the wind.
At that time, his father was also a famous general under Kangxi, and he fought in all directions for many years, so he often contacted his father's circle, saw more of his father's heroism, and originally wanted to fight, although at the beginning Kangxi arranged for him to be a civilian, but later he repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction, and in 1711 he proposed to change to a military post, became a guerrilla military officer in Sichuan Sanpin, and embarked on his dream horse journey.
At the beginning, he did not have much opportunity to perform, because the Qing Dynasty was still very powerful at that time, after all, they were originally ethnic minorities, and they were used to dealing with the Mongols, Tibetans, etc., plus the emperors were also frustrated and fanatical to expand the territory, so the imperial court was full of talents, and he could not be used, and the situation at that time was completely different from Yue Fei's time, but he was not discouraged, and he had been waiting for the opportunity, and finally Dzungar planned to collude with Tsarist Russia to annex Tibet, and had succeeded for the most part.
Yue Zhongqi was ordered to be promoted to deputy general of Sichuan, when he was 32 years old, only leading 600 elite soldiers, he went to recruit the rebels in two cities on his own, but the recruitment could not be done, so he immediately decided to kill several leaders, beat their 3,000-strong team to a mess, and then it went more smoothly, although there was no support from the army, at that time he went deep alone with 30 people who could speak Tibetan, and he got the results of 6 tribes at once.
The first real expedition had such achievements, Kangxi was naturally happy, but Yue Zhongqi was not immersed in joy, and soon he made a great contribution to the matter of pacifying Tibet, in 1721 Kangxi moved him to the post of governor of Sichuan, and then he was again sent to solve the problem of encroachment, the appropriate combat steps, the strategic pattern of planning, so that he repeatedly won battles, in 1724 with five thousand elite troops, he successfully recovered 600,000 square miles of land, promoted to prince Taibao.
However, I believe that everyone has also found that Yue Zhongqi is a Han Chinese, the Qing Dynasty is a Manchu, in the eyes of many people in the future generations, although he has no less than Yue Fei's merits, but he is not at all inferior to Yue Fei, because he is doing things for the foreign races that invaded the Central Plains, on the other hand, he is not only not tolerated by the Han, in fact, he has always been suspected by the Manchus, especially at that time he was more and more capable, Kangxi died, Yongzheng ascended to the throne, some people began to plant him, and history appeared strikingly similar.
I still remember when Yue Fei fought bloodily in front, but Qin Ju and others in the rear were obsessed with calculating him, and now Yue Zhongqi had just become the inspector of Gansu, and some people couldn't wait, one day in 1727 AD, a beggar was covered in a shawl, running barefoot on the street, shouting in his mouth: "Yue Zhongqi is going to rebel!" Yue Zhongqi is about to rebel! "Although it was later confirmed that he was a madman and beheaded for public display, the dirt had only just begun.
The bane was laid in 1728 by a Xiucai named Zeng Jing, who was also estimated to have been arranged, when he wrote to Yue Zhongqi, while scolding Yongzheng, he asked him to avenge Song Ming, and also talked about Yue Fei's deeds, but all the individuals did not believe that Zeng Jing really wanted to restore the Han Room, Yue Zhongqi did not believe it, pretended to agree and cheated them and arrested them, although later Yongzheng admitted his center of gravity and also crowned him as the general of Ningyuan, but the situation was out of control.
Because at this time he lost the battle, originally he just went to clean up the mess, but the other side cheated and provided false information, resulting in a situation that could not be managed, Yue Zhongqi repeatedly made a recovery, but the results were very small, Yongzheng remembered the previous rumors, doubting whether he deliberately defeated the battle, more and more angry, many times on the spot blamed him, Ortai felt that he had fallen out of favor, took the opportunity to impeach, so yue Zhongqi was directly arrested and imprisoned after the servant returned to Beijing, and at first Yongzheng actually wanted to kill him.
Yue Zhongqi's life can be said to have ended like this, Yongzheng never rehabilitated him, and later demoted him to a commoner, it was really when no one was available, it would be activated, but Yue Zhongqi first faced the death of his eldest son, and his own body was not good, but even in 1754, he dragged the sick body and led a large army to suppress the cult that gathered the masses to oppose the Qing, but although it was successful, the army returned on the way back, his condition deteriorated and he died suddenly.
It can be said that Yue Zhongqi and Yue Fei are very unfortunate, the biggest misfortune is to be born in the wrong dynasty, if Yue Fei is in the Ming Dynasty, he can compete with the crowd, resist the Jin Dynasty and resist the Manchus, no one can stop it, if Yue Zhongqi is not in the Qing Dynasty, he does not have to be called traitors, and he is scolded by people for different ways, they are all great heroes of the nation, the difference is only that one is a great hero of the Han nationality, one is a great hero of the Manchus, but at the same time they are all Heroes of China.
