In the long history of the Jin Dynasty, a figure that has attracted much attention is Jin Wushu. He was the fourth son of Yan Ah Boneda, who established the Jin Dynasty, and when he was a child, he participated in the battles of the Liao army many times, showing extraordinary courage and combat effectiveness. Fushu's life was full of war and glory, and he not only had a major impact on the fate of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, but also directly involved Yue Fei's murder.
His military career began as early as his youth. He participated in many fierce battles with the Liao army along with his father A Bone Da and his brother, and on one occasion, he even bravely seized the enemy's weapons at a critical moment when the arrows were exhausted, killing eight Liao soldiers in one fell swoop, thus gaining fame.
With the outbreak of the Song-Jin War, Wushu continued to fight with Yan Zongwang on the front line. He successfully subdued thousands of Song troops in Tangyin, led 3,000 light horses to threaten Bianliang, and finally assisted the Jin army in destroying the Northern Song Dynasty in 1127 AD, capturing the two emperors Hui and Qin.
However, after Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty fled to Jiangnan via Yangzhou, Wushu became the main general of the Jin army. He led his army to soon occupy Yingtianfu in Nanjing, forcing Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty into a corner. Wushu even crossed the river and captured Lin'an, forcing Emperor Gaozong of Song to flee at sea. During this period, the military talent and courage of Wushu were once again displayed, and it was later known as "searching the mountains and checking the sea".
However, the glory of the Wooshu did not last long, and he soon fell into a life-and-death crisis. In the reed region of Huang Tiandang on the south bank of the Yangtze River, his army was intercepted by the Southern Song general Han Shizhong and fell into a siege. The Battle of Huangtiandang lasted 48 days, and the Jin army fell into a desperate situation. During this time, Wushu had to seek a strategy to break through the siege from the surrounding civilians, and in the end, a Fujianese named Wang proposed a strategy to attack Song Dynasty warships with rockets.
However, the victory of the Fushu did not extend the superiority of the Jin army. Under the ambush of Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin army suffered huge losses at Niushou Mountain, and Yue Fei quickly recaptured Jiankang. The Jin Dynasty changed its strategic direction after realizing that it would be difficult to gain long-term superiority in the Jiangnan region, but the Wushu did not stop the pace of fighting. He launched another attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, but was eventually defeated by the Song army at Xianrenguan and forced to retreat.
Over time, Jin Taizong died, and Ah Boneda's grandson Finish Yan took the throne, and Wushu entered the decision-making level at the core of the Jin Dynasty. However, war-weariness arose within the Jin Dynasty, and two important officials, Yanchang and Yan Zongpan, proposed peace talks with the Southern Song Dynasty, on the condition that Shaanxi and Henan be returned and that the Southern Song Dynasty be recognized as vassals. However, Wu Shu accused Yan Chang of accepting bribes from the Southern Song Dynasty and, along with Jin Xizong, relieved him of his military power and even killed him. Subsequently, Wushu was made Marshal of the Jin Dynasty and Prince Taibao, and held the actual power of the Jin Dynasty.
In 1140, the Jin Dynasty waged war again against the Southern Song Dynasty, reoccupying Shaanxi and Henan, which had previously been returned. Although Yue Fei led Yue Jiajun to attack Wushu near Zhuxian Town, in the end, Wushu was recalled by Emperor Gaozong of Song with twelve gold medals, and Southern Song efforts to retake Shaanxi and Henan failed.
However, after the temporary advent of peace, the fighting of the Woods did not stop. In August 1146, when Mongol forces invaded northern Jin Dynasty, Wushu again led the Jin army into battle, but failed to win. After that, the Jin Dynasty reached an agreement with the Mongols, and the Mongol chief Luobo Jilie proclaimed himself Emperor Zuyuan and established the era name "Tianxing", marking an important event in the rise of Mongolia.
However, Fushu's fighting career did not end in victory. He had requested retirement but was not granted. A year later, he fell ill in Huining Province
Die. However, the death of Fushu did not bring peace to his family. His son Wanyan Heng had been appointed general of the Right Guard of the Jin Dynasty, but during the reign of the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Heng, Wanyan Heng, was caught in a conspiracy. He was framed for rebellion, imprisoned and eventually killed by physical abuse. Subsequently, Yan Heng's two concubines and a son were also quickly killed.
Although later Jin officials tried to rehabilitate Wushu and his family, their fate was already doomed. The legend and battle exploits of Wushu can only be found in the history books today, but his life is not only part of the history of the Jin Dynasty, but also an important chapter in the battle between the north and south of China.
The life experience of Wushu outlines the establishment and consolidation of the Jin Dynasty, as well as the many conflicts with the Southern Song Dynasty. His courage and wisdom were on display on the battlefield, but there was also the cruelty and inevitable tragedy of war. The life of Wushu has become a microcosm of the history of that era, and the brilliance and haze of an era are intertwined, leaving a deep imprint.
Ultimately, the trajectory of his life tells us that war is often accompanied by great sacrifice, and even victory does not necessarily change the course of history permanently. His story, like the epic poems of that era, is forever engraved in the chapters of Chinese history, inheriting for us those turbulent years.
