In the history of China, there have been many capable people. They are not only models of literati, but also amazing talents, all-rounders who combine literature and martial arts. It is only the unfortunate pattern of the times that makes it difficult for it to have the ability to show its talents. In the end, he could only die helplessly, and he had regrets until his death.
Such periods tend to be more pronounced during dynastic succession, especially in the face of foreign invasions. At the turn of the two Song Dynasties, after experiencing the jing kang revolution, the Southern Song Dynasty, although under the leadership of the anti-war faction, fought a bloody battle. Finally, he blocked the Jinguo's troops in the Central Plains and saved half of his own country. However, through peace talks, however, it was declared that the northern territorial plan had been abandoned.
Even if the northern land was abandoned by the government, the Han people, who were not willing to accept the brutal rule of the Jin, began their own independent struggle. Among them, the rebel army led by Xin Zhiyi was particularly obvious. He once showed a handsome posture as a literati. With only 50 iron horses, he dared to take the feat of the leader of the traitors in the enemy camp. He became famous in one fell swoop, but did not exert his ambitions and ended up depressed.
The struggle to fall to the ground
After the Southern Song Dynasty's "Shaoxing Peace Conference", an armistice agreement was formed with the Jin Dynasty, dividing the political scope after a clear boundary. This is a government abandonment of the North, but the people in the lost land have not given up their political demands. It is not subject to the management of the Jin people, but to restore the previous political ecology.
1 Ancestral legacy
For this reason, the abandoned people in the north began their own self-help movement. At that time, the Han people under the administration of the Jin people faced severe oppression. There are no effective means of management, only the suppression of its backward old system. Nature cannot allow the people of the newly conquered lands to return to their hearts and surrender.
In order to resist the tyranny of the Jin people, the low-level people and the gentry began a spontaneous uprising. It is just that the forces are scattered, and they cannot form a joint force, and can only be broken by each one. Eventually, he had to submit to the brutal force of the Jin people and engage in a temporary dormancy. Whenever the time permits, there will be a bigger storm.
Xin was born in such a current environment, and although his ancestors were officials in the Jin Kingdom. But the psychology is that the Song Dynasty is in mind, and once wanted to rebel against the rule of the Jin people. Unwilling to become a slave of the Jin people, such a belief also profoundly affected Xin Ren's life. This legacy of the ancestors also directly affected the great cause of rebellion that Xin abandoned the disease later.
2 Own-minded
Because he had seen the hardships and hardships of the Han people under the rule of the Jin people, he worked hard to become stronger. In the process of painstakingly reading history books, he did not give up the tempering of military books and force. This was when he realized that the jin people's force was strong, and it was not possible to rely on the talents of the literati to subdue them. Only by crushing by force can there be final victory.
It is this strict requirement that lays a good foundation for it. It also allows him to have a better space and stage to show his ability. After experiencing the influence of family education, I have seen the suffering of the people and seen the inhumane side of the brutal rule of the Jin people. I realized that as a person with lofty ideals, I must be committed to restoring the foundation of the Han family.
Otherwise, such a scene will continue forever. The Han Chinese will always be enslaved and will not be able to turn over again. To this end, we set our minds to overthrow the tyranny of the Jin people, recover the lost territory, and reproduce the majesty of the Han people. This takes timing, and that timing quickly becomes a reality. He also stepped onto the stage of history and became a great hero of the time.
3 The talent of the rebel army was displayed
At that time, the capital of the Jin Dynasty moved south, and the emperor was ambitious and began to plan a southern invasion. The concentration of forces to attack the Southern Song Dynasty caused the internal strength of the Jin Dynasty to be empty at that time. This made the people see the hope of returning to their homeland and began to rise up one after another to revolt against the Jin people.
At that time, the rebels rose up overnight, and Xin Zhiyi also saw the opportunity for this chaotic situation. He also pulled up a team and began to counterattack, but it was still difficult to compete with the regular army of the Jin people by relying on the limited strength of the people alone. To bridge this gap, only forces that are scattered from each other can be united.
Form a joint force to maintain the greatest strength in order to resist the counterattack of the Jin people. At this time, he and Geng Jing joined forces to carry out the feat of resisting Jin. The situation played well for a while, but later the main force of the Jin people returned to the north. The strength of the rebels was difficult to resist, and in order to get out of the predicament, they could only ask the Southern Song government for help.
This can be seen in his strategic vision, and it is precisely because of his unique vision that he avoids the loss of the rebels. But what he did not expect was that when he went to the Southern Song Dynasty to negotiate, his rear was on fire. On the basis of their own successful negotiations, there was a rebellion within the rebel army.
Passivity after the return
This left a hidden danger for his future career path and resume. If you can have a certain military force to rely on, your political discourse power can be valued. It's just that the situation is helpless, and the creation is confusing. By the time he returned to the rebel camp in the north, Geng Jing had been killed by the traitor Zhang Anguo.
1 Defeat of the rebel rebellion
Because of this sudden riot, the rebel army was killed and the leader was left leaderless, and directly disintegrated internally. In order to save the army's heart and mind, Xin abandoned the disease and had to go it alone, personally leading 50 cavalry to break into the camp of the Golden Army. In the hands of tens of thousands of troops, the traitor Zhang Anguo was captured and handed over to the Southern Song Court for disposal.
Although this action reversed the impact of the rebel rebellion, the military force was also severely damaged. He himself was blamed for a political failure. The cost of this rebel civil strife was heavy, and the north lost the presence of the jin army. It also brought a lot of trouble to his future political career and became a political stain.
2 Exclusion after the return to the south
After returning to the south, although he was appointed by the imperial court, he lost his political chips. Even if he had the intention to exert his political ambitions, the flaws of the helpless rebel problem, and the innate weakness of his own southern returnees, would eventually fail. Even if he had written such important military defense theories as "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" and "Nine Discussions".
However, he was still rejected and could only be forced to serve as a Qing official for more than ten years. Resolutions that are difficult to access to actual military and state affairs can only become local guardians. It was rare to have a certain political ambition, and even then he did not give up his hopes. I have been making my own internal preparations on the basis of my own work.
3 Careers of solitude and perseverance
During his tenure, he formed a strong army to pacify the localities and quelled the riots of the tea merchant army. In order to ensure local safety, certain merits have been made. However, the northern expedition was far away. In the end, because of his main battle faction's position, he was ostracized by the lords and factions in power at that time, and was finally given more than twenty years to idle at home.
Even so, he did not give up his perseverance and has been waiting bitterly. It wasn't until the main war faction came to power that he was also heavily used. He began to serve as a military defense line in eastern Zhejiang and began to prepare for the Northern Expedition. It's just that the good times are not long, and they are limited by the involvement of party strife.
More than a year later, he also left the scene. At this time, xin abandoned the disease has not had much time, and it is even more difficult to be stimulated by this. He died of illness shortly after that, and his last words were still unwilling to go to the Northern Expedition.
Conclusion History is still difficult to reverse after all, even if the all-rounder of literature and martial arts abandons the disease, no matter how capable, it is difficult to influence the psychology of the Southern Song Dynasty. After more than thirty years of hard work, the Northern Expedition, which came to an end, was still defeated at the hands of its own people. In his lifetime, it was difficult to carry out his wish to restore his homeland during the Northern Expedition.
