Ten of the greatest national heroes of all time

1. (Jing Zhongguo) Yue Fei

Yue Fei (岳飞), 24 March 1103 – 27 January 1142, was a native of Tangyin, Xiangzhou (present-day Tangyin County, Henan). During the Southern Song Dynasty, he was a famous anti-Jin general, military expert, strategist, national hero, calligrapher and poet, ranking first among the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Heroic Deeds:

Since the age of twenty, Yue Fei has served in the army four times. From the second year of Jianyan (1128) to the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), he participated in and commanded hundreds of battles. When the Jin army attacked Jiangnan, it was unique and advocated resisting Jin and recovering Jiankang.

In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), the six counties of Xiangyang were recaptured. In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), he led a northern expedition and successfully captured Shangzhou and Yuzhou. In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), after Yan Zongbi destroyed the alliance and attacked the Song, Yue Fei waved his northern expedition, the people of Lianghe rushed to tell each other, and the rebels in various places responded one after another and attacked the Jin army.

The Yue family army successively recaptured Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places, defeated the Jin army at Haocheng and Yingchang, and marched into the town of Zhuxian. However, Emperor Gaozong of Song and Qin Ju, the chancellor of the Song Dynasty, were bent on seeking peace and urged the class teachers with twelve "golden cards".

In the course of Song Jin's peace negotiations, Yue Fei was falsely imprisoned by Qin Ju, Zhang Jun, and others. In January 1142, he was killed on trumped-up charges, along with his eldest son Yue Yun and the general Zhang Xian. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of Song, he rehabilitated Zhaoxue and was reburied in Qixialing on the shore of West Lake, pursuing Wu Mu, and later posthumously honoring Zhongwu and sealing him as the King of E. In the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was highly respected.

Yue Fei was an outstanding commander of the Southern Song Dynasty; he attached great importance to the people's anti-Jin forces, concluded the strategy of "linking Heshuo," and advocated that the civilian anti-Jin rebels north of the Yellow River and the Song army cooperate with each other to recover the lost land; the army was clearly rewarded and punished, discipline was strict, and he was able to sympathize with his subordinates and set an example. Jin Jun has a comment that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army" to show his sincere admiration for the Yue family army.

Yue Fei's literary talent is equally outstanding, and his representative poem "Manjiang Hong, Writing Nostalgia" is a patriotic famous passage that has been recited through the ages, and posterity has collected essays that have been passed down to the world.

4. (Wu Mourning Heavenly King) Ran Min

Ran Min,? – June 1, 352, Zi Yongzeng, a native of Neihuang, Wei Commandery (present-day Northwest Neihuang, Henan), adopted grandson of Emperor Shi Hu of Later Zhao, father Ran Liang, was the founder of the Ran Wei regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, reigning from 350 to 352.

Heroic Deeds:

The period of Wuhu Chaohua was the darkest period in the history of the Chinese nation. Wherever the Xiongnu, Xiongnu and other ethnic armies went, tucheng plundered thousands of miles, slaughtered tens of millions of Han people in the central plains, and the entire north was almost empty, with ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and the tragic situation of the Han people could be seen. At least four or five million Han Chinese in the north remained, while at this time the northern Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xianbei, Qiang, and Qiang had reached as many as five or six million, and the population had already surpassed the Han. At the same time, a large number of northwestern Zhuhu and northern Xianbei moved into the Central Plains, at which time each Hu would inevitably compete for the survival opportunities of the Han people in the Central Plains. Ran Min raised the banner of rebellion and issued an order to kill Hu (the first "Order to Kill Hu" was known as "The Six Yi inside and outside, those who dared to call the weapon beheaded" to drive out the Hu people; the second "Order to Kill Hu": those who were in the same heart with the officials stayed, and those who did not have different hearts were allowed to leave; the third order: All Han people, all Han people, whoever beheaded a Hu person, were promoted to a knight by virtue of their heads).

The remnants of the Han people in the north rose up in the wind and swore revenge for the blood sea, "Qing, Yong, You, Jingzhou migration households and zhuyi, Qiang, Hu, and barbarians, each returned to the homeland, the roads are staggered, killing each other, and starvation and death, and there are two or three of them who can reach it." "The famous barbarians in history invaded Europe because Ran Min killed them, killing millions of Zhu Hu who slaughtered the Han people, and the rest either returned to their hometown or moved west. Beginning in 350, the Huns and other Hu people fled to attack West and South Asia, completely extinct from China. As a result, the ethnic minorities who are in the midst of a triumphant spring breeze have been greatly hit. Not only did the minority rulers temporarily abandon attacking the Eastern Jin court, but also destroy the ambitions of the Han people. More importantly, it forced the minority rulers to change their ruling strategies and not blindly slaughter the Han Chinese. Instead, it sought to cooperate with the Han to maintain its rule. This gave the Han chinese a breathing space. It did not perish like other ancient civilizations. The carrier of Han culture, the Chinese nation, has been preserved, and Han culture has continued to develop and carry forward. He can be called the savior of the Chinese nation.

Ran Min single-handedly reversed the Chinese Han chinese founded by the Yellow Emperor and slaughtered the Wuhu people, and was called an iron-blooded hero. Can be with one force, with less victory, 10 battles and 10 victories, expel Wuhu back to their respective lairs, qualified to be called military experts. Being able to establish the Ran Wei regime, the courtiers and the people can be inspired to serve the dead power under its account, even if it is still commemorated by future generations for 1700 years after his death, and it is well deserved to be called a politician! Ordinary people who have not received military training can be trained into elite brigades. And in that era of cavalry hegemony, the enemy Wuhu was armed with infantry troops. The soldier uses his life, and the people love it as the commander-in-chief. The root cause of his military defeat was to fight for food for the people, and he single-handedly commanded 10,000 infantry troops to resist the defeat of Murong Ke of Former Yan with 200,000 troops without reinforcements, which did not reduce the ability of his commanders. The Book of Jin commented on it that "good strategists, (not brave barbarians) are brave and invincible, and they are invincible in battle."

Ran Min is the greatest hero of the Han civilization of the Han people, and it is precisely under the order of Ran Min that he conforms to the will of the people and drives out the Hu people that the Chinese nation has avoided the tragedy of the ancient Indians, and made the Chinese nation the only ancient civilization in the world that has been inherited. Even if he died in battle, it did not affect his glory and merit in the slightest, no one has been compared for thousands of years, and Jingtuo called Ran Min "zhen the ancient and the present, turning the tide", which is the most appropriate evaluation.

9. (Annihilation of turks) Li Jing

Li Jing (李靖), 571 – July 2, 649, was a scholar of the Three Plains of Yongzhou, a military warrior, and the Duke of Fengwei, known as Li Weigong (李衛公), courtesy name "Jingwu".

Heroic Deeds:

Li Jing's most classic battles were held twice, one for the Eastern Turk Campaign and the other for the Battle of Tuguhun, both of which showed his cautious attitude of using troops and his fighting style of winning if he did not fight.

In the Battle of the Eastern Turks, the Turkic 300,000 troops pressed the northern front and held the Tang army, but Jing completed one of the greatest roundabouts in the history of ancient Chinese warfare. 3000 iron horses attacked the Yin Mountains at night, winding through thousands of miles, directly leading the Turks' old nest, you know, this battle was carried out in the snowy waxing moon, the Tang army soldiers composed of Han People, to complete this spectacular Long March, to face not only the Turkic elite cavalry, but also the unimaginable cold of the Central Plains, but the Tang army generals climbed the snow and lay down, and completed this unimaginable miracle, this battle killed tens of thousands of enemies, the ratio of casualties between the Turkic army and the Tang army was as high as 10:1, and more importantly, the Turkic hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed completely. The Turkic khans were also taken prisoner. This battle basically lifted the threat of the Turks to the Tang Dynasty, and the first battle was decided, which can be described as a gestapo.

The battle of Tuguhun was different, Tuguhun was entrenched in Qinghai, the terrain was dangerous, and the three conquests of the Tang Dynasty were fruitless. After Li Jing took command and changed the strategy of the previous frontal attack, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops crossed the narrow path at the junction of Qinghai and Gansu, and launched an attack from behind Tuguhun to annihilate Tuguhun in one fell swoop. The Sheng Tang poet Wang Changling once praised this battle: "The desert wind and dust are dark, the red flag is half rolled out of the gate, and the former army has fought in the north of the river, and has reported that the life has been captured in Guhun." This battle basically opened the way for China to enter the western region, and since then, since the Wuhu Chaohua, 200 years later, the Chinese army has once again entered the western region.

10. (The first person to fight against the Xiongnu) Li Mu

Li Mu,? - 229 BC, courtesy name Li , Mingmu , a native of the Zhao state of Bairen ( present-day Xingtai , Hebei ) . The most outstanding generals and military experts of the Six Eastern Kingdoms at the end of the Warring States period, together with Bai Qi, Wang Qi, and Lian Po, were called the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States", known as "Li Mu died, Zhao Guo died", and was deeply loved by soldiers and the people, and had high prestige.

Heroic Deeds:

Lured the enemy deep into the Great Destruction of the Xiongnu and successfully resisted the foreign invasion.

Li Mu came to the border and followed the original charter. The Xiongnu still found nothing for several years, but they also thought that Li Mu was timid. The daily rewards of the officers and men on the border were useless, and the morale of the soldiers who were replenished was high, and many soldiers were willing to fight a battle when they were full of breath. Li Mu saw the opportunity to select 1,300 chariots, 13,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, and 100,000 archers to organize and train in combat. At the same time, a large number of livestock were grazed everywhere, and the grazing people were all over the mountains.

The following year, the Xiongnu invaded again, and Li Mu took advantage of the Xiongnu people's mentality of always thinking that they were timid to pretend to be defeated, and the arrogant tactics of the army lured the enemy deeper. Deliberately discarding thousands of people, horses, cattle and sheep materials to the Xiongnu to plunder with confidence. Upon hearing of this, the Xiongnu led a large group of men and horses to invade. At this moment, Li Mubu ordered many strange soldiers and gradually lured the Xiongnu army into the ambush circle. After the Xiongnu Shan Yu's large army had all entered the ambush circle, Li Mu opened his left and right wings to encircle and counterattack the enemy army, and the Zhao army defeated the Xiongnu, killing more than 100,000 horses (almost all cavalry). After destroying the Chānlán , defeating the Hun Donghu tribe , and surrendering the Lin Hu tribe , the Xiongnu fled.

More than a decade after this battle, the Xiongnu did not dare to approach the border towns of the Zhao state. Because the Xiongnu suffered too many losses, they even reduced the invasion of Zhao and Yan, especially the pressure on the northern border of the largest rival, the Qin state, which gave the Qin state enough time to draw troops and concentrate on the unification war.
