Ever since Yue Fei resisted Jin and was killed by Qin Ju on trumped-up charges, the Southern Song Dynasty court, which was in a quiet corner and did not think of making progress, has since been the world of the lord and the faction.
Here, the Song Dynasty emperors sang and danced in the West Lake, day after day; over there, the Jin Emperor was completely beautiful, but he was secretly recruiting troops and buying horses, and building warships.
Beginning in the ninth year of Shaoxing, the Jin general Yan Zongbi (阎宗弼) sent troops to invade the south several times, but were repulsed by the Song general Li Xianzhong and his troops.
In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, Yan Liang personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the Huai River and launch a large-scale invasion of the Huaixi area, and the enemy of the current Song Gaozong had to use the sixty-three-year-old veteran general Liu Kunzhen to defend Yangzhou and resist the Jin army.
At that time, Liu Kun was old and sick, extremely weak, and had no choice but to hand over military power to the deputy marshal Wang Quan.
Unexpectedly, this Huaixi shoujun kingship was a soft egg, regarded the Jin soldiers as tigers and wolves, and finally was forced to go to the battlefield, and lost the battle with Jin Bingfu, but ignored Huaixi, and fled with 18,000 defeated soldiers in a battle, all the way to the vicinity of nanjing quarry.
Emperor Gaozong was furious when he heard the news, and directly dismissed the officials of the royal power, and then sent the veteran general Li Xianzhong to replace him. Just when the king's power had been deposed and Li Xianzhong was still on his way to his post, this important node of the three armies that was not managed, was sent by the Southern Song Dynasty court to the front line of the division of a civilian official, then a staff officer of the military, and finally in Quarry Rock, in the face of the Jin soldiers were already making preparations to cross the river, the army was about to suppress the dangerous juncture, resolutely took over the commander of the three armies, led more than 18,000 people, and later crossed the river with 150,000 gold troops, the great battle at Quarry Rock, and finally won the famous "Quarry Victory" with fewer victories and more victories, defeated the Jin Army, and won the famous "Quarry Victory". He saved the century-old country of the Southern Song Dynasty and was praised by Chairman Mao as "one person in all eternity".
This person was Yu Yunwen, the southern Song Dynasty official who later became the official zuo cheng xiang.
Speaking of Yu Yunwen, today's readers are relatively unfamiliar, he is a famous anti-Jin general who was later than Yue Fei and earlier than Han Nongxin, and he was also a descendant of Yu Shinan, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty.
His father, Yu Qi, was a scholar by birth, an official to Dr. Taichang, born in The Scholar Xiang Mendi Yu Yunwen, recited the Nine Classics at the age of six, wrote a text at the age of seven, and when he grew up, he also entered the career early because of his father's relationship.
However, at that time, the imperial court was qin juniper in power, and Yu Yunwen, who was born in Shu, was not reused, so Yu Yunwen, who became an official, was also depressed.
When Yu Yunwen was 37 years old, his mother died, his mother and son had deep feelings, and as a filial piety, he cried more than usual, "Xi No. cried on the side of the tomb", so that "the shape was pinned to the bone".
After the death of his mother, worried about his father's lonely life, he did not want to be promoted for seven years, and accompanied his father in the morning and evening, until seven years later, in shaoxing twenty-three years later, when his father died, he took the exam to enter the army and award Pengzhou a general judge.
That year, he was forty-four years old.
Two years later, in the twenty-fifth year of Shaoxing, Qin Juniper fell ill and died, and Yu Yunwen really ushered in the spring of his career.
The first nobleman in his life, Zhao Kui, a Zhongshu Sheren, first recommended him to Emperor Gaozong of Song.
Next, during Gaozong's personal interview, Yu Yunwen directly calmed Gaozong from the grand talk and insights in articles, speech, political affairs, and other aspects.
Forty-one flowers for men, not to mention Yu Yunwen, who is already majestic, tall and handsome, and has an online appearance, naturally in the interview, he won the highest impression score for himself, after a successful and excellent interview, Gaozong was very satisfied, Yu Yunwen was awarded the secretary Of the Ministry, and later tired of the official to the Ceremonial Department LangGuan.
In June of the 29th year of Shaoxing, the imperial court sent the minister Wang Lun to the Jin Dynasty, which was frightened of the Southern Song Dynasty, and this mission was intended to strengthen the covenant and repair the good of the two countries.
In September, Wang Lun, who had returned from the mission, said to Emperor Gaozong that the Jin Dynasty had treated their emissaries with respect and courtesy, and that we could sit back and relax, so that all the courtiers congratulated:
The obedience and reconciliation of the neighboring countries are caused by His Majesty Weide.
Then the monarchs and courtiers "ignored the side" and blindly went to Gaole, but how did they know that the Jin Emperor at that time had already conspired to go south, ostensibly pretending to be obedient and obedient, but wanting to paralyze the other party and shake a shot.
At this time, Yu Yunwen, who was sober-minded and had a unique vision, wrote to Emperor Gaozong in the first month of the thirtieth year of Shaoxing, pointing it out to the point:
Jin will defeat the alliance, and may the chancellor Yu Si prepare for the throne.
After Emperor Gaozong listened to Yu Yunwen's words, he was not very relieved, so in October of that year, he sent Yu Yunwen to the Jin Dynasty to investigate the truth.
This time, Yu Yunwen sent an envoy to the Jin Kingdom, and when he saw that the Jin people were building warships day and night and transporting grain and grass on a large scale, he knew that his speculation was completely correct, and he could not help but secretly feel anxious.
On the occasion of his farewell, Yan Liang was even more blunt to Yu Yunwen:
I will look at the flowers Luoyang.
When Yu Yunwen heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Hurrying back to the Court of the Southern Song Dynasty, he immediately revealed what he had seen and heard in the Jin Dynasty, as well as Yan Liang's desire for the Southern Song Dynasty, and suggested that Emperor Gaozong should immediately strengthen the military defenses around Huaihai.
Sure enough, a year later, in October of the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, Yan Liang, who tore off the mask of peaceful coexistence, crossed the Huai River from the vortex mouth and went straight to the Song army in Huaidong and Huaixi, and hundreds of thousands of troops came storming in.
The army suppressed the territory, Song Gaozong's first thought was to run directly, he wanted to "float the sea to avoid the enemy" again, and later was jointly persuaded by Yu Yunwen and other ministers of the main war faction, which decided to use, at that time, he was sixty-three years old, and liu Kun, a veteran general who had assisted Yue Fei in the Northern Expedition, served as an envoy to Jianghuai and Zhejiang, guarded Yangzhou, resisted the Jin soldiers, and Yu Yunwen served as the military staff officer of the Mafu army of the Jianghuai Army, responsible for assisting the front line in resisting the enemy.
This year, Yu Yunwen was already fifty-one years old.
At that time, Liu Kun was old and sick, he could not eat food, he could only drink porridge, except for Xiaosheng Jinbing in the soap corner forest area, he was extremely weak, and he had to hand over the military power to the deputy marshal Wang Quan. Knowing that the king was afraid of the golden soldiers like tigers and wolves, he collapsed without a fight, and after leading his troops to flee to the area of Quarry Rock, he was dismissed from his post, left more than 18,000 people behind the remnants of the army, and secretly sneaked back to Jiangnan to escape for his life.
The king's power had fled, and the general Li Xianzhong, who had been sent by the imperial court, was still on his way to his post, at this time, the Jin soldiers were looking at the tiger on the other side and sharpening their swords, and Yu Yunwen came to the quarry at this critical moment of life and death.
With dozens of carts full of good wine and good meat, Yu Yunwen, who had just arrived at the quarry, saw the soldiers in front of the battle, and his heart was cold, where is the current combat army of the great enemy, it is clearly a group of rabble-rousers who have no combat effectiveness and sense of crisis:
Our division scattered three or five stars, unsaddled armor sitting next to the road, all the power defeated soldiers also.
Yu Yunwen, who was worried about the country and the people's hearts, saw such a painful scene, and immediately made a bold decision, he decided that before Li Xianzhong's arrival, he would mobilize the defeated generals of these 18,000 or so remnants of the army and fight a vicious battle with the Jin soldiers who were about to make a great enemy come, otherwise, once the Jin soldiers crossed the river and suddenly arrived, they would certainly be like a broken bamboo in the face of such a leaderless and free and scattered army.
Once the Jin soldiers crossed the river and drove straight in, it would bring disaster to the Southern Song Dynasty. So Yu Yunwen was ordered to be in danger, raised his arms, and told the soldiers that the road of loyalty and righteousness, the safety of the society, and the soldiers were also powerful, and said in unison:
Now that there is the Lord, please fight to the death.
Fighting a war, relying solely on enthusiasm and passion and the spirit of not being afraid of death, is far from enough; the most important thing is to have wisdom, courage and strategy.
In the face of the unfavorable situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak, Yu Yunwen's outstanding military ability has been brought into full play. He divided the warships into five, one in the east and one in the east, one in the middle, and two others in the harbor, and ambushed the elite troops and waited in a strict position.
In the battle with Jin Bingfu, who crossed the river, Yu Yunwen ordered the weak and small troops to take the lead, showing that the enemy was weak, and the invincible Yan Liang along the way was indeed deceived, and he gave an order, led hundreds of warships, poured out of the nest, and came straight to the south bank.
Seeing the enemy's plan, Yu Yunwen immediately ordered the ambush in the shadows, the whole and orderly sea loach fleet, galloping out, or scattered, suddenly left and right, the Golden Soldiers rushed the warships to pieces, not into formation, and when the Golden Soldiers warships were chaotic and disorderly, they also ordered the East and West Warships to release thunderbolt cannons, and their sound was like thunder, the cannons were on fire, burning the enemy warships, and scattering into smoke, and above the river, it was like a fog, and the characters did not see each other.
At this moment, the Southern Song Dynasty elite soldiers who were ambushed in the shadows issued a shout, as if falling from the sky, everyone struggled to kill the enemy, chased and intercepted the Jin soldiers, and forced them to the south bank, unable to retreat. The battle was fought from early morning to dusk, and the golden soldiers fought and retreated, suffering heavy casualties.
At this moment, a group of Song troops who had been defeated from the Gwangju front just happened to pass through the quarry, and Yu Yunwen immediately ordered them to take advantage of the night, ambushed behind the mountain stones, waved their flags and shouted, and the Jin soldiers heard the shouts of killing on the shore, mistakenly thinking that the Reinforcements of the Southern Song Dynasty had arrived again, so they were even more panicked and panicked, and they did not fight, but only fled for their lives, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and in this battle, a total of more than 4,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and they returned with a great victory.
On the second day, Yan Liang, who was not willing to accept defeat, ordered the Jin soldiers to secretly ambush the Song army in the early hours of the morning, but Yu Yunwen had already expected that at the Yanglin ferry, two ambushes had already been arranged, waiting for the Jin soldiers to sneak to the ferry, the upper and lower Song troops, attacking back and forth, catching turtles in an urn, beating the Jin soldiers to the ground, and hundreds of warships were burned to the ground.
This battle completely frustrated Yan Liang's arrogance and domineering spirit, and he retreated from the quarry and led his army to retreat to Yangzhou.
Yu Yunwen expected that the Jin army would definitely cross the river at Guazhou, so he joined forces with Li Xianzhong, who later arrived at Quarry Rock, and led more than 16,000 people to Jingkou on November 16.
Subsequently, many units of the Song army also reached Jingkou one after another, with a total strength of 200,000 troops.
Just as Yan Liang was on the way to flee from defeat, there was even more unfortunate news, that is, on November 2 of that year, at the time of Yan Liang's southern expedition, his brother Yan Yong had been proclaimed emperor.
Seeing that there was no way out for Guan Yanliang, he decided to make a desperate bet, he ordered all the soldiers to cross the river within three days, otherwise they would all be executed, but the result provoked the generals, resulting in a mutiny, and on November 27, Guanyan Liang was finally hanged by the generals.
After Yan Liang's death, Jin Bing retreated thirty miles and sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty.
After Yan Yong ascended the throne, he began to implement the policy of recuperation with the people, which began the golden age of peaceful coexistence with the Southern Song Dynasty for more than forty years, and Yu Yunwen also quarried a war, gaining a very high reputation in the Southern Song Dynasty and the wilderness, and then in the Southern Song Dynasty court, the general entered and entered for nearly twenty years.
When Yu Yunwen was two envoys to Sichuan, he made Sichuan's economic development, military and government new, and Sichuan and Shu ruled.
After Emperor Xiaozong of Song ascended the throne, he repeatedly urged Yu Yunwen to go out to the Northern Expedition and recover the Central Plains, but he refused to leave the division on the grounds of lack of preparation each time, which made Emperor Xiaozong very unhappy, so that in the first year of Chunxi, Yu Yunwen became ill with hard work, and when he died of illness, Emperor Xiaozong went against the norm and did not give him officials or courtesy, until later Emperor Xiaozong personally came to Shudi to inspect the army, and saw that there were many brave and brave soldiers in Yichuan, and he was strong and strong, and only then did he wake up to Yu Yunwen, who had always been old and heavy,Day and Night, and kept the great cause of the Northern Expedition in mind, and he slept and trained the army day and night. Only because he was well aware of the great events of the Northern Expedition, it was not the same as child's play, it was not rash, and the lack of preparation in his mouth was really insufficient preparation, and it was definitely not a perfunctory remark.
Under infinite admiration, Emperor Xiaozong immediately posthumously honored him as a Taishi and conferred on him Zhongsu.
We often say that the masses of the people are the creators of history, but at a certain important time node in the historical process, certain key and important figures have indeed changed the direction or process of history by their own strength, for example, if there is no Yu Yunwen's quarrying war, and the first Yan Liang army will drive straight in, whether the Southern Song Dynasty will still have a hundred years of Jiangshan, it is really difficult to say, the history of the two Song Dynasties may have to be rewritten from now on.
And when this country was in trouble, Yu Yunwen, a Confucian student, was ordered to turn the tide with his own strength, so that the Southern Song Dynasty court could continue to live for a hundred years, so Chairman Mao later praised his feat in his comments on the "Continuation of the Chronicle of the Chronicle of the Continuation of the Book":
Wei Zhao Yu Gong, a man of eons.
If he had been a quarry master and gone, how would he have come from the later prestige of the world, and how could he have come to the century-old jiangshan of the Southern Song Dynasty?
I hope that each of us, like Yu Yunwen, can put aside our worries and bravely give it a go when the few precious opportunities in life that are fleeting come, and win the flowers and applause of our own lives.
