After the Jing Kang Disaster, the Southern Song Dynasty court finally took a quiet corner in the process of escaping, and the Southern Song Dynasty faced a double attack from the Jin Dynasty and the Western Xia.
The Song Dynasty was heavy on literature and light on military force, so that when the Southern Song Dynasty was founded, it was always in a state of turmoil, and the Jin Dynasty army often marched south. The army of the Song Dynasty was vulnerable, but it was very fortunate that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a group of very good generals to stabilize the situation.
For example
Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and so on
。
Even though the Southern Song Dynasty was poor and weak, these excellent generals really relied on their own talents to stabilize the situation. But there are also some generals who don't fight well, however
He is particularly good at escaping, such as the famous Liu Guangshi is one of them
Liu Guangshi was a disciple of the general, and his father, Liu Yanqing, was the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedushi
Because he was born in the gate, he became an official very early, and he was very smooth along the way because he had the protection of his father.
Later, in the third year of Xuanhe, he became rich because of the promotion of Square La. It has been done.
I have to say that his combat effectiveness is still there,
In the early years of Jing Kang, Liu Guangshi led his troops to defeat the Western Xia army, so he was awarded the title of Marquis of Yu of the Ma Army, and became a member of the central army, but because he was born in the second generation of the army and his status was high enough, he encountered a professional ceiling.
He didn't have any more outstanding combat achievements.
In 1129, the Jin army, with 500 cavalry, hit the vicinity of Tianchang, and Emperor Gaozong of Song fled in a hurry, at this time Liu Guangshi led a 3,000-man army
King Qin.
However, before reaching the destination, the army he led had already taken the lead in running away without making contact with the Jin army. After Zhao Shuo became emperor, he was made an official and knighted, and appointed him as the capital of the Marshal's Office. After all, he was a powerful warlord, and Zhao Zhuo could only envelop him.
After his promotion, he held a big banquet, and by this time the Jin army had crossed the Yangtze River. Liu Guangshi's first reaction after hearing the news was to flee.
He fled to the Huainan region in one fell swoop, where he did not become a good defender, but instead wantonly encroached on the land of the common people. ultimately
In one fell swoop, 30,000 acres of fertile land were encroached upon
A year later, the Jin army went south again. Zhao Zhuo ordered him to fight against the Jin army. Liu Guangshi refused to lead his troops to battle, but only sent Wang De to lead some troops to do the show.
In 1133, the Jin army invaded Huainan again
。 At this time, Liu Guangshi began to run again, he led the army to flee to Jiankang, in 1134 Jin and the pseudo-Qi army crossed the river together, Song Gaozong came at this time to the spirit, he prepared to ride, personally conscripted and ordered Liu Guangshi as the left guard. His subordinates still defeated the pseudo-Qi army relatively well, so Liu Guangshi was ordered to be appointed as an envoy of Jiedushi in a promotion to fortune.
It is considered to be a senior position of military general. At this time, his soldiers were many and wide, and even so, he was still unwilling to fight with the enemy.
In October 1136, pseudo-Qi attacked the Song Dynasty army
Liu Guangshi once again could not escape. At this time, Liu Guangshi was affected. The civilian officials and military attachés were unanimously spurned, and the right minister and the governor of the capital wrote a letter of recall to depose Liu Guangshi, Song Gaozong finally deposed him, Liu Guangshi escaped many times, but Song Gaozong did not ask, why did he make a ruling this time?
Mainly because Liu Guangshi was the warlord with the most soldiers, Song Gaozong also had to rely on him, after all, having an army in the chaotic world was the greatest capital, as long as he had use value, Song Gaozong was not embarrassed to punish him.
And Liu Guangshi also had some military achievements, so there were many generals under him who followed him, and these generals were more willing to emulate Liu Guangshi personally and form a warlord army in the actual sense, and Emperor Gaozong of Song was also afraid of provoking Liu Guangshi and causing his subordinates to rebel. In the end, these arrogant generals of Liu Guangshi eventually rebelled.
Only more than 8,000 people under Liu Guangshi's command, led by Wang De, were willing to submit to the Song court
In 1139, when the Song and Jin dynasties were negotiating peace, Liu Guangshi was again appointed and made an envoy of Shaanxi Xuanfu, the Duke of Yongguo, and at the time of his death, he was even posthumously honored as the King of Yan, becoming one of the four generals of Zhongxing
，
Although Liu Guangshi did not have any family and country feelings at all, at the beginning of the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Guangshi had many generals, and finally let him rank among the four generals of Zhongxing, and he was lucky, just in the chaotic world to be able to exert his talents, but also let himself obtain such a lofty position.
All this is the inevitability of the times
