Yue Fei was a well-known fierce general in history, he fought bravely, led the Yue family army to resist the footsteps of the Jin people to the south, and defended the rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, his ending was a tragedy, framed by Qin Ju and killed by the emperor on the charge of "false accusations", becoming one of the most painful unjust cases in history. After Yue Fei was killed, the emperor and his traitors were bound to fear that his children would retaliate, so what did they do?
Yue Fei had a total of 7 sons and daughters, including five sons and two daughters. Yue Fei's eldest son, Yue Yun, was very heroic, and when he was young, he went into battle to kill the enemy, and was both literate and martial, and was later known as a young general. Soon after the defeat of Gaocheng, the Jin army received reinforcements and attacked Yingchang with 100,000 people, and the Yue family army defended about 30,000 troops. Yue Fei ordered Yue Yun to lead part of the back ridge army to help in advance. Before the battle, Yue Fei said to Yue Yun: "If this battle is not won, first cut off your head" On that day, because the number of Jin troops was too large, the main general Wang Gui was once timid and wanted to retreat, and Yue Yun resolutely refused. Half a day after the battle, the morale of the Jin army was low, and the 5,000 remaining troops of the Yue family army took advantage of the situation to kill the city and defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop. In this battle, he killed Xia Jinwu, the son-in-law of Wushu, and also captured 78 leaders of the Jin army, and killed countless enemy troops and captured weapons.
Yue Ke recorded that after the battle of Haocheng and other battles, Jin Wushu was greatly shocked, and Yang Tianchang sighed: "Yue Shaobao broke through 500,000 people with 500 horses. It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family army! Even if his father did not report to the imperial court to reward him, he did not complain. After Yue Fei was arrested, Yue Yun was also convicted and killed.
In addition to Yue Yun, the other six children were exiled, and the second son, Yue Lei, died of depression in exile. The other three sons, too young to understand the world, were able to grow up because they were cared for by their mothers. After Yue Fei's grievances were rehabilitated, one devoted himself to collecting his father's legacy, and the other two became officials and was later given the title of Marquis. The other two daughters, the eldest daughter is called Yue An Niang, and the younger daughter is the famous "Miss Silver Bottle" among the children of the Yue family, but her real name is not recorded.
According to legend, "Miss Silver Bottle" has been petitioning and calling for her father's unjust case after the death of her father, Yue Fei. Once, when he petitioned, he was obstructed by the patrolling soldiers, and in a fit of anger, he "fell into the well with a silver bottle and died." The people were grateful for the woman's virginity, so they respectfully called her "Miss Silver Bottle".
Many years later, Zhao Zhuo died, and the successor Song Xiaozong overturned the case for Yue Fei, and the rest of the children of the Yue family were taken back. This exile was a full twenty years. During these years, the depressed and emaciated second son Yue Lei, who witnessed the tragic death of his father and brother, suffered from the poison of the smoke-stricken land of Quang Nam, and his health became worse and worse. Unable to survive until the day when his father was rehabilitated, he fell ill and died in exile.
Yue Fei's third son, Yue Lin, was accused of "falsehood" because he witnessed his father and brother fighting for the country, and from then on, he was discouraged, abandoned wu Congwen, and taught his children and grandchildren not to participate in martial affairs anymore. The other sons also paid attention to this incident, and although they accepted the martial arts position after the pardon, most of them did not want to learn martial arts anymore and taught their children and grandchildren to learn literature.
Poor Yue family loyal martyrs, but in the end end ended up like this!
