"The Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the community" reminds us of the Ming Dynasty, not cutting the land, not paying compensation, not reconciling relatives, showing the national integrity and iron bones of the Ming Dynasty. The rule of the Ming Dynasty has experienced two hundred and seventy-six years, from the rise of the rebel army to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, to the struggle with Chen Youyu to establish a hegemonic state, to the qing army into the Ming Dynasty, during which many famous generals of the Ming Dynasty have emerged, and today I will talk to you about the story of Yu Qian, one of the famous generals.
Yu Qian
Yu Qian was a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou), who entered the imperial examination in the middle of the year, and later stepped into his career. In the early years of Xuande, Yu Qian served as the right attendant of the military department and served as an inspector in Shanxi and Henan. During his term of office, Yu Qian refrained from serving the public, loved the people like a son, and had a very high prestige. Later, he was promoted to the rank of bingbu attendant and summoned to the capital.
Speaking of Yu Qian, we can't help but recall his poem "Lime Yin", "The two poems of "Crushed body and broken bones are not afraid, we must leave our innocence in the human world" are not only the epitome of Yu Qian's life, but also can show his noble sentiments of integrity and integrity. Speaking of Yu Qian, we naturally think of the famous battle to defend Beijing, on the one hand, the emperor was captured and leaderless, and on the other hand, the city of Beijing was facing the fierce attack of the Wallachian army. At this time, the Ming Dynasty has reached a critical moment of life and death, and the building is about to collapse.
At this time, Yu Qian, who was serving as a soldier's attendant, stood up, facing the large army of Wallachia, and the whole city of Beijing was already panicked, and even more wanted to move the capital south. Remembering the lesson of the Song Dynasty's southern crossing, Yu Qian was angry: "Those who say that the capital city has moved south, kill." Beijing City is the center of the country and the face of the country, how can we move the capital at will? Such a hasty relocation of the capital will inevitably lose its momentum. ”
I believe that some time ago, the popular "Daming Style" has been heard by everyone, and the image of Yu Qian is also a colorful appearance. Faced with the puppet emperor Zhu Qiyu and the ministers, Yu Qian's determination to coexist and die with Beijing was a wake-up call. As a result, the military and the people in Beijing were united in their hearts and minds, and this thrilling defense war for Beijing was finally launched.
As a general at that time, Yu Qian's heavy responsibility of guarding the city of Beijing naturally fell on him. And Yu Qian also began to choose talents, as long as you have talent, I dare to use you. Even at the beginning of the war, he personally put on the battlefield and heroically killed the enemy. On the one hand, he also showed his command ability, commanded the army to take the initiative to attack, and repelled wave after wave of attacks by the Wallachian army. At this time, morale was already high, and the Ming army had the advantage of artillery to successfully crush the offensive of the Wallachian army, crushing it in one fell swoop, and causing it to retreat to the outside of the seychelles.
Under the action of the joint resistance of the military and the people, the Ming Dynasty finally won the victory in the defense of Beijing, which resolved the domestic crisis and avoided repeating the mistakes of the Song Dynasty. It was precisely under Qian's persistence and command that the Ming Dynasty won the war, and Yu Qian himself became a national hero who saved countless civilians and was praised by people. The victory in the defense of Beijing also defended daming's great rivers and mountains. Even if you are beaten to the gate, you will not surrender, and you would rather die than yield, which is where the soul of the Ming Dynasty lies.
Defense of Beijing
The reason why we praise Yu Qian is not only because he is a national hero and the founder of the successful defense of Beijing. It is also because of his noble sentiments of integrity and integrity that impressed us. The way to be an official is to benefit the people no matter where it is, which is a good official, and Yu Qian is not afraid of the powerful and dares to serve the people, so he is loved by the people, and it is also a clear stream in the official field of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
During the Ming Dynasty, official corruption was more serious, and it had become a common practice for officials everywhere to loot the people's fat and people's anointing for their own use. Especially during the Orthodox years, the eunuch Wang Zhen came to power and controlled the power, and officials at all levels competed to curry favor with him. Wang Zhen was even more arrogant, demanding and accepting bribes, committing evil deeds, and acting recklessly. Entered the army in the annual examination, and then stepped into the career. Whenever a local official goes to Beijing to report on his work, he will bring him gold, silver, jewelry and local specialties to pay tribute.
Only Yu Qian ignored him and did not want to attach himself to him, which made Wang Zhen very dissatisfied in his heart, and gradually had hatred, so he wanted to find an opportunity to frame him. Some people also reminded Yu Qian that in order to protect himself, he still wanted Wang Zhen to send something. Yu Qian, on the other hand, threw off his loose robe, and a breeze came slowly, which is also what we often call a two-sleeved breeze.
Finally, in the first year of Tianshun, Yu Qian was framed and executed for the crime of rebellion. When the official entered Yu Qian's home to raid the house, he found that he did not have any excess property, except for the necessities of life, there was almost no surplus, let alone any gold and silver jewelry. Because Yu Qian's main house hung up the lock, everyone thought that the lock inside was gold and silver jewelry. After giving the order, the soldiers slammed open the door, and they were stunned to see the house full of expectation. There were only two things on the central desk——— python robe and sword, which everyone knew was specially given to him by Zhu Qiyu in honor of Yu Qian's great achievements. After seeing this, everyone silently left Yu Qian's house, and everyone's heart was only left with admiration for Qian.
Yu Qianben is already in a high position, but he still does not forget his original intention and does not change his true heart of integrity and integrity, which deserves our praise. Yu Qian's life is also like in his "Lime Yin", even if I am crushed to pieces, I must leave the integrity and integrity of the world. Although a generation of loyal servants was framed and ended here, the deeds he left behind are singable and lamentable, and deserve people's praise and praise. Yu Qian, he is worthy of himself, worthy of the Ming Dynasty, is a model for my generation to learn!
