Excerpt from the Internet;
Di Qing was a rare counterattacker in the Song Dynasty who was born in the military and went from a soldier to a general. This inspirational brother came from a poor family, and at first he didn't know a single word, but the famous minister Fan Zhongyan appreciated him and encouraged him, "The famous generals of the ancient times have two brushes, and if you lack culture, you can only be brave in vain." "Look at how well this is said. It is similar to the founding leader's sentence that "an army without culture can only be a stupid army", and since then, Di Qing has begun to eradicate illiteracy. It's a pity that this master's education level is too low, after all, it is the martial artist who suffers the loss of no culture.
Di Qing came from a slightly cold background, and a significant sign is that there are tattoos on his face, so how did the tattoos on Di Qing's face come about? There are two ways to say this. First, the Song Dynasty implemented a conscription system, learning from Liang Zu Zhu Wen, first looking at the appearance, then looking at whether the arms and legs are numb, and then the black face, the same as the face, that is, the tattoo on the face. What is the purpose of tattooing? Prevent you from deserting and taking off your military uniform. A person like Di Qing who was born in a bitter haha can only choose to be a soldier. What words are tattooed on Di Qing's face? It is not possible to test, but it is said in "Song Shibing VII" that during the Renzong Dynasty, strong men were arrested in Shaanxi, Hebei, Hedong and other places, and the word "command" was tattooed on the face of the senders, which probably means that all actions are under command. Once you are in the military, you can only be a professional soldier.
Second, Di Qing is a criminal. Facial tattooing, the so-called two lines of gold seals on the face like Song Jiang, tattooing in the Song Dynasty is second only to the death penalty of criminal law, usually "tattooing somewhere", the most heinous person can be tattooed "robber". According to "Eastern Capital Affairs", when Di Qing was sixteen years old, his brother Di Su fought with the person known as the Iron Arhat, and as a result, he drowned, and the Song Dynasty 110 went to the police, and Di Qing's younger brother came out for the eldest brother and took the blame on behalf of his brother. The amazing thing is that Di Qing recited silently in his heart, "If I am rich, the Arhat will be Su" Di Qing carried the Arhat's corpse upside down, shaking up and down, and as a result, he came back to life after several buckets of water. Of course, this version is questionable. Brother, I tend to say that Di Qing has a tattoo on his face with a military membership, otherwise he will be a shameful prisoner, and he will be too self-defeating, and the general will definitely not show himself in this way.
Xiaobing Di Qing met a good leader, or how to say that successful people must have several conditions, one is their own efforts, the second is the help of nobles, and the third is a good opportunity. These three conditions Di Qing have caught up, Di Qing is proficient in horseback archery, brave in battle, in the battle with the Western Xia big saw, the generals of the border pass have been abused by Li Yuanhao, only Di Qing is invincible, when Di Qing charges into battle, he often wears a hair scattered, fierce and vicious, and often wears a copper mask, although it effectively imitates the suspicion of the king of Lanling, people wear a mask, that is because he is so handsome, afraid that the enemy will treat him as a good friend. And Di Qing wears a mask, in addition to suddenly adding hideousness, it may also have the meaning of covering up ugliness. Di Qing's nobles are the famous ministers Yin Zhu, Chong Shiheng, Fan Zhongyan, of course, the biggest Bole is Song Renzong, Han Qi is also counted, but Han Qi looks down on Di Qing in his bones. Di Qing caught up with the good opportunity because the Song Dynasty was a piece of fat, the natives in the northeast and northwest wanted to take a bite, the Song Dynasty lacked generals, and none of the neighbors were fuel-efficient lamps, Di Qing rose in the military, until the official residence of the Minister of National Defense.
The tattoo on the face of the god of war Di Qing has always been a hidden pain in his heart, lingering for a long time, is it shame or glory? General Di himself can't say clearly, and look at a few small stories that happened around his tattoo, try to analyze the mental journey of this famous general.
When Han Qi was the commander, Di Qing had already been promoted to the head of the march because of his military merits, and he was considered a master in the army, and he should be respected, but this still had a yarn. Once, when Lao Han invited a guest, a famous prostitute white peony came to Di Qing with the strength of wine, and actually said very unceremoniously, "Ban'er, please drink a glass of wine", which is clearly mocking Di Qing for having tattoos on his face, just like the modern mantra "I despise you." Di Qing was so angry that his face turned green at that time, and when he looked at Han Qi again, he laughed. The next day, the more he thought about it, the more angry Di Qing became, he simply beat the white peony hard, "Ban'er" is what you can call a ninth-rate prostitute, deep down, Di Qing is inferior, and he is also extremely sensitive. However, for Han Qi, who was born in the imperial examination but was kind to him, although he knew that he looked down on him, Di Qing was helpless, and even a little submissive, because of his own tattoo and because of his background, he always felt that he was a head shorter than these cultural people.
Di Qing has an old general, called Jiao Yong, the two have a deep friendship, once Jiao Yong led troops to cross the border, Di Qing did his best to be a landlord, and the two brothers drank well, but Jiao Yong's subordinates told the marshal Han Qi, saying that Jiao Yong deducted military salaries, Han Qi ordered the arrest and punishment in front of Di Qing, and invoked the wartime regulations to punish him for capital crimes. Di Qing hurriedly pleaded, but unfortunately the words were not good, Di Qing said, "Jiao Yong is a good son and has military merits." Han Qi pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "The person who is the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good son, and Jiao Yong is a bird?" Han Qi didn't give Di Qing face at all, and beheaded Jiao Yong to show the public.
Di Qing, who has been licking blood on the knife for half his life, finally understands that people like him, like Jiao Yong, are just tools of war, and they have no status in Wenchen's heart, Di Qing stood in a daze for a long time, at that moment, his heart was collapsed, and he was also afraid, until the person next to him reminded him of "Chief Manager Lijiu", Di Qing retreated in horror.
For Han Qi, Di Qing's heart is extremely contradictory and extremely entangled, on the one hand, Han Qi is the main general, a general as a literati leader, and has the grace to carry him, on the other hand, Han Qi doesn't look down on his bitter background at all, thinking that he is a vulgar martial artist, Di Qing hates and fears Lord Han. Later, Di Qing became the vice minister of national defense, and finally one day, he transformed all his grievances against Lord Han into a sentence of emotion that dissected his heart: "Lord Han and I are both members of the Military Commission, and my military rank and fame are the same as mine, but I am only missing a jinshi and a dier." "How painful, how unwilling, how helpless.
No matter what kind of great feats you make, in the eyes of the Song people, you are just a big soldier who was born in the army, what is the reason? Because you are uneducated, the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light martial arts has penetrated into the marrow of society, and the literati who are officials look down on you, and even the master who eats and drinks with a little culture looks down on you. After Di Qing was promoted to deputy marshal, he once invited Han Qi to a banquet, accompanied by a master named Liu Yi, Liu Yi is not very capable, but he has a big temper, Di Qing has a servant under him, when he pretends to be a Confucian student to play a burlesque and chat with wine, who knows that he has committed Liu Yi's taboo, Liu Yi suddenly changed color, pointed at Di Qing's nose and scolded, "You are just a pawn, what right do you have to scandalize a scholar?" After Liu Yi finished scolding, he threw the wine glass on the ground and brushed his sleeves away.
Looking at Di Qing again, he was never angry or angry, and smiled with a smile, "Hehe." The next day, Di Qing got up early in the morning and went straight to Liu Yi to apologize sincerely. The people of the time praised Di Qing for being so elegant, but brother, I felt that Di Qing was speechless, could he be angry? Does he dare to be angry? The weakness of his life is that he reads too little, in front of cultural people, Di Qing dwarfed his personality into a dwarf, his humility, his tolerance eventually caused his own tragedy, under the joint exclusion of the so-called famous ministers, Di Qing finally died depressed, of course, this is a later story.
Is it Di Qing's outstanding military achievements and great popularity? No. Is it Di Qing's flying and domineering, indispensable? Neither is it. On the one hand, you have to count on these generals to fight for face for the country, and on the other hand, you are worried that the generals will make a mess, when did Di Qing become a thorn in the eyes of everyone who will want to pull it out? It was when he was promoted to the privy envoy after he became famous, that is, the No. 1 head of the Military Commission, this position, since Song Taizong, there are almost no simple military generals who have served as people, all of them are people from the civilian group, you are a martial artist who doesn't know a few baskets, why is one person under and above everyone? Besides, you still have tattoos on your face, this is simply the No. 1 joke of the Great Song Dynasty, you are not losing the face of your sister or brother, you are losing the face of all our readers, such a ceiling, do you think Di Qing can be good?
According to the "Neighbor Magazine", when Di Qing reported from Yan'an to the Ministry of National Defense to serve as the head of the Military Commission, according to the usual practice, the officials and subordinates of the organization department should be greeted in the suburbs, these people waited day after day, and always saw no trace of Di Qing, and when the mouth was dry and the heart was anxious, the officials of the organization department finally couldn't bear it anymore, this thing had no scruples, and scolded in front of many people, "You Di Qing is just a red guy, what kind of stinky shelf?" "Look, Di Qing has become an important minister of the state and a senior head of the Military Commission, but in front of these national civil servants, he still has no status at all, and anyone can despise him, what kind of world is this? What does a red guy mean? The slang of the capital of the Song Dynasty was regarded as a vulgar soldier. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are now scolded and called "little red guys", which originally came from here, which means those with low status and no future. Di Qing, who is alone, is such a hurtful image in front of the Song Dynasty government affairs court where the literati of the Song Dynasty are gathered.
The tattoo on Di Qing's face is his symbol, and he lives in this shadow all his life, but at this time, Di Qing has a realm of enlightenment, the so-called things and I forget, since you all know that I am from a bitter cold, I simply go my own way, and occasionally when others make jokes about him, Di Qing can also be silent with others at the right time. Di Qing and a cultural person named Wang Boyong served in the Ministry of National Defense, of course, Di Qing was the boss, but his boss was clearly unscrupulous and approachable, so Wang Boyong dared to joke with him. On this day, Lao Wang pointed to the tattoo on Di Qing's face and teased, "Brother Di, how did I find that the tattoo on your face has become more and more distinct recently?" "Look, scolding people doesn't bring this, doesn't bring dirty words, and directly exposes people's shortcomings. Di Qing smiled faintly, "If you like it, how about I give it to you?" "The old man next door is ashamed.
Since Di Qing has such a distinctive sign on his face, why not ask someone to remove it? The murderer Song Jiang asked the divine doctor An Daoquan to use superb medical skills, which was unspeakably hidden, and he washed it away. Master Di asked Yuan Fang, what do you think? Yuan Fang said, "It's okay, there is no sign, it's not easy to recognize." "Of course it's bro, I'm talking nonsense. When the prostitute laughed at him, he moved the idea of dropping the tattoo; When the little literati looked down on him, he also had similar thoughts; Later, after becoming famous, he was nostalgic and grateful for this tattoo, my scar is my master, but unfortunately such a maverick person is not allowed to the world, this scar finally became a metaphor in the eyes of the literati group, and these people can't wait to erase it for him forever.
Di Qing's eldest uncle, Song Renzong, out of good intentions, also asked Di Qing to remove his inscription, how did Di Qing answer? Di Qing said, "If Qing doesn't have these two lines, how can he be here?" I don't dare to go, I want to make the world cheap, and I know that the country will be treated in this name. "Wow, what a lofty answer, the reason why it bears this mark of shame is to tell the world that men should be self-reliant. The singing voice of the mustache Lin Zixiang rippled in my ears, "Everyone is a pillar and a good man, use my 100 points of heat to shine a thousand points of light, be a good man, hot blood and hot intestines, more light than the sun!" ”
Di Qing, a professional soldier who shines brighter than the sun, this moment is sublimated, I think this should be his heartfelt words, the scar on my face is my glory, although it is a joke in your eyes, he witnessed the moment when I created a miracle. It's a pity that there are too many things in the world when they can't see the sun, when the literati group dumped Di Qing, seized his military power and belittled him, Renzong said stupidly, "Di Qing is a loyal minister." Wen Yanbo said coldly: "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong?" A gust of wind drifted through the back of Renzong's head. As a result, Di Qing was plotted, and in the end, this famous general who killed people like numbness, but he died in fear, and he was killed by the literati group.
Since Di Qing, there has never been such a god of war in the Northern Song Dynasty. Di Qing died in a nest, and the Northern Song Dynasty died even more in a nest, not a nest? It's a shame, of course you all know that.
