The Southern Dynasty had two Qingzhi, one was Xiao Liang Chen Qingzhi and the other was Liu Song Shen Qingzhi. People were deeply impressed by Chen Qingzhi, who "thousands of troops and horses avoided white robes", but they were not deeply impressed by the Cangtou general Shen Qingzhi. In fact, compared with Chen Qingzhi, Shen Qingzhi's merits were only high, and both of them had traces of the heroes of the Heavenly Punishment - Wei Guo's allegiance, and after death. It can even be said that Chen Qingzhi's idol is Shen Qingzhi. Who is this lesser-known Shen Qingzhi?
1. Wuxing Shen clan
Shen Qingzi Hongxian, a native of Wuxing Wukang (present-day Deqing County, Zhejiang Province). Shen Qingzhi's life span is very long, eighty and the end, of which the early years experienced ups and downs, so after experiencing many things, Shen Qingzhi became the one who survived by chance. When Shen Qingzhi was young, he joined the rebel army in his hometown of Wuxing to resist the rebellion of Sun En, the cult of the Wudou Rice Sect. When the cult was suppressed, Shen Qingzhi returned to his hometown to cultivate land, which was ten years. In this way, a twenty-year-old young man has become a thirty-year-old middle-aged man in the blink of an eye. In ancient China, because of war, disease, etc., people's life expectancy was often very short, for example, the Qing Dynasty people's life expectancy was only twenty-nine years old. At this time, Shen Qingzhi, who was already thirty years old, was already a dying old man in the eyes of ordinary people. And history has made a big joke about Shen Qingzhi, and his life has just begun.

2. Armor escort
Shen Qingzhi's era was the era of Liu Yilong, the Wen Emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty. Liu Yilong was very wary of the military generals, as mentioned earlier, tan daoji and Pei Fangming, who were also criminal heroes, died at the hands of Liu Yilong. Shen Qingzhi was a subordinate of Tan Daoji, and when He was at Liu Yilong's side, Shen Qingzhi led the Huailing Taishou. However, at this time, Shen Qingzhi still had the duty to guard the Dongye Gate, which was one of the guards in the capital.
Liu Yilong was the emperor who was put on the throne, and he attached great importance to the imperial throne and was very jealous of the courtiers and royal relatives. If Tan Daoji and Pei Fangming violated the taboo of "power ministers" because they led troops, then Liu Yilong's relatives were remembered by Liu Yilong because of their status as imperial relatives. Liu Yilong himself ascended the throne standing on the corpse of Emperor Shao of Song, and he was deeply aware that his relatives would not covet the throne because of his existence. So Liu Yilong raised a butcher knife to Liu Clan Relatives.
For example, the imperial prince Liu Zhan hoped to kill Liu Yilong and support Liu Yikang. Liu Zhan's move was a big taboo for the emperor, so Liu Yilong summoned Shen Qingzhi late at night, and was shocked to see Shen Qingzhi's whole body, shen Qingzhi explained: "Summoning the main general late at night, there must be something big, so he changed his armor in advance." Liu Yilong was very satisfied, so he sent Shen Qingzhi to kill Liu Zhan. Liu Yilong was entrusted with a man, and Shen Qingzhi killed liu bin, the taishou of Wu County, and eliminated Liu Zhan's forces, and Liu Yilong immediately exiled Liu Yikang and took control of the power.
Internal counterinsurgency
Third, pacify the southern barbarians
In ancient China, there has always been a saying of "Eastern Yi Southern Barbarian Northern Di Xi Rong". The Middle East was pacified for a thousand years, and it was on the way to pacify Dongyi that King Wu of Zhou sneaked into the capital and lost Jiangshan. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the pacification of Dongyi was mainly a matter for the State of Qi. So that by the time of the Yue King's Gou Jian period, Dongyi had no historical records, and only the Yue people were left. At the same time, the main hegemony of the Jin state was to pacify the Northern Di, and most of the Northern Di were integrated into the Jin state, such as the famous general Hu Yan of the Fox Di had become a heavy subject of the Duke wen of Jin, and Lou Fu had also changed from a tribal name to a geographical name. The rebellion of the ethnic minorities on the northern frontier was no longer the Northern Di after the Spring and Autumn Period, but other nationalities. Xi Rong was unified by the Qin State during the period of hegemony of the Qin State, if the Jin State was to absorb the Northern Di to enhance its strength, then the Qin State was to absorb the Xi Rong to enhance its strength. After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the west came again to be the external merchants of the Silk Road, and Xirong was already a geographical name. The pacification of Southern Man is relatively bumpy, mainly because the Spring and Autumn Chu State is Southern Man, and it has not completed the historical task of pacifying Southern Man at all. After the Han Dynasty, Southern Man became a major problem for the Central Plains Dynasty.
In history, there were two people before Liu Song on a large scale to pacify southern Barbarians, one was Lu Zhi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was Liu Bei's master, and the other was Zhuge Liang, who was Liu Bei's adviser. It can be said that Liu Bei was a key personnel in pacifying the Southern Barbarians, and his strategy was to teach the Southern Barbarians to cultivate land and let the Southern Barbarians manage themselves. Pacifying means making the place stable, not killing people.
After Liu Bei's death, the western Jin Dynasty that succeeded Liu Bei rejected Liu Bei's personnel. Soon the Western Jin Dynasty moved south and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established, and it was even more powerless against the Southern Man, and the contradiction between the Southern Man broke out. After the establishment of Liu Song, the problem of southern man was already very serious, so Liu Yilong let Shen Qingzhi take command and pacify southern man.
With the policy of Lu Zhi and Zhuge Liang, Shen Qingzhi's pacification of Southern Man was also implemented in accordance with this strategy. In the rebellion of ethnic minorities, it is natural that there are people who disobey the central authorities, and these people vainly try to fight with the central authorities, so they will be defeated. But there were also people who were not rebels, so Shen Qingzhi appeased them, taught them to cultivate land, and used ritual music to educate them. Although Shen Qingzhi killed many people in this pacifying Nanban, after more people surrendered, Shen Qingzhi was well placed, did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and achieved pacifying Nanban.
External chaos
4. Accompany the Army on the Northern Expedition
During Liu Yilong's reign, the confrontation was against Tuoba Tao, the most slain Emperor of Wei in Northern Wei. Tuoba Tao repeatedly marched to the Yangtze River, but Liu Yilong also carried out many northern expeditions because of his improper position to prove that his position was correct.
For example, in the twenty-seventh year of Yuan Jia, Liu Yilong ordered the Northern Expedition, and Shen Qingzhi was persuaded, but his status was low, and no one listened to him. As an arrangement of the imperial court, Shen Qingzhi became Wang Xuanmo's deputy. In this regard, Shen Qingzhi's evaluation was: "What is the use of you fighting in the Northern Expedition, you don't need to fight on the battlefield, and you choose a white-faced student?" Since then, "white-faced students" have remained in the history books.
Liu Yilong chose the time of the Northern Expedition so well that Tuoba Tao thought that the horses were not good, and ordered the Northern Wei cities to hold on and not attack the enemy. Wang Xuanmo attacked the city of Shuitai for more than two months, but failed to conquer it. At this time, the horses of Northern Wei had been raised, and under the order of Tuoba Tao, the Northern Wei army set out from Pingcheng and went all the way south, all the way to the bank of the Yangtze River.
Wang Xuanmo was forced to retreat south, and at this time, the Song army was ready to give up on Wang Xuanmo. However, Shen Qing's strength defied the crowd and led his troops north to take Wang Xuanmo back to the territory. Later, Liu Yilong consulted Shen Qingzhi, why did he take back Wang Xuanmo? Shen Qingzhi replied, "Wang Xuanmo's attack on the slide was ordered by the imperial court. His failure to attack Taicheng in two months was a problem of his ability, a problem with the imperial court's orders, not his personal problem. Later, when the Wei army moved south, it was inappropriate for us to abandon our troops. Moreover, at this time, everyone in Wang Xuanmo's department was already in danger, and when we rescued Wang Xuanmo, we not only personally, but also told the whole army that as long as there were conditions, the imperial court would take them home. ”
After this battle, Shen Qingzhi's military front was already very obvious, and he was a rare general in the Song army after Tan Daoji, and his reputation was outstanding.
Accompanied by the Army on the Northern Expedition
5. Meritorious service
The royal family of the Liu Song Dynasty liked civil strife. In Liu Yilong's later years, the crown prince Liu Shao killed Liu Yilong and ascended the throne as emperor. At this time, according to Liu Yilong's orders, Shen Qingzhi, who was in charge of the festival Liu Jun, jointly discussed the pacification of southern barbarians, and joined forces with Liu Jun to become the largest force in the world, although few people saw this scene at that time.
In fact, Liu Shao planned to woo Shen Qingzhi and write a letter to Shen Qingzhi. When Shen Qingzhi went to liu jun with the letter, Liu Jun was too frightened to see anyone. Shen Qingzhi broke into the military tent, met Liu Jun, and read letters to Liu Jun. Liu Jun said frightenedly, "Please let me meet my mother before killing me." Shen Qing was happy: "I followed the general to quell the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians according to the will of the former emperor." At present, the most chaotic thing in the world is the capital, and we should immediately pacify the capital and avenge the previous emperor. Liu Jun hurried down to worship: "The security of the country lies in the general." ”
Because Shen Qingzhi led the troops well, he reorganized the team on the tenth day, thinking that in the name of revenge for the former emperor, he led the troops south, and soon the troops came to Jiankang. Along the way, there were countless contingents of vassals, and on the way, Liu Jun was called emperor and Feng Shen Qingzhi was an envoy, which was Liu Jun's own errand. Soon, Liu Jun's soldiers and horses occupied Jiankang and captured and killed Liu Shao. Liu Junshi was called Emperor Xiaowu of Song.
The merit of standing
Sixth, there is no time for peace
Emperor Xiaowu of Song was very dependent on Shen Qingzhi and made Shen Qingzhi a number of official titles. Shen Qing later came to quell the rebellion in southern Manchuria, which was not a place with the previous description. At this time, Shen Qingzhi was old, and he often wore a fox fur hat when he traveled, so the ethnic minorities called him Cangtou Gong. Whenever the Cangtou Gong appeared, the minority nationalities would certainly not dare to rebel.
However, Shen Qingzhi thought that he was old, and he was already seventy years old, and he hoped to send Shi Shi home. Liu Jun was unable to keep it many times, so he had to let Shen Qingzhi retire and return home. However, Shen Qingzhi was at home for less than three years, Liu Shi rebelled, and when he was in danger, Liu Jun urgently activated Shen Qingzhi, and Shen Qingzhi lived up to the expectations of the people to pacify Liu Qingzhi.
Liu Jun and Shen Qingzhi have a very good relationship. Once Liu Jun feasted on his courtiers, and during the banquet, he ordered someone to give poetry, and Shen Qingzhi said: "I can't write, I said, let people write." So he blurted out:
Wei Sheng meets many fortunate,
Good times.
Aging muscle exhaustion,
Hiking also Minamioka.
Resignation to this holy world,
What a shame.
Liu Jun was also very dependent on Shen Qingzhi, and when he died, he appointed Shen Qingzhi as a minister of gu orders.
7. The drinking duck is killed
Emperor Xiaowu of Song died, and although Liu Ziye ascended the throne, according to custom, the Liu Song imperial family began civil unrest again. For example, shortly after Liu Jun's death, Liu Chang, the prince of Yiyang, rebelled, and Liu Ziye appointed Shen Qingzhi to put down the rebellion, frightening Liu Chang into defecting to Northern Wei.
But the royal class is a very perverted class. In the Liu Song royal family, the succession to the throne was turbulent, and the successors were often not good people. Liu Shao is, and so is Liu Ziye. Liu Ziye was a famous tyrant in Chinese history, who was eager to kill and committed adultery with his aunt and sister. Because he knew that his ability was not good, Liu Ziye wanted to kill his uncles. And there was a huge barrier among them, that is, Shen Qingzhi.
Shen Qingzhi persuaded Liu Ziye many times, but was ordered by Liu Ziye to be killed by poisoning wine. Poor shen Qingzhi, who experienced the five dynasties of Liu Yu, Liu Yifu, Liu Yilong, Liu Jun, and Liu Ziye, and Shen Qingzhi, who experienced the empires of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty, and worked hard for the country to suppress rebellion, ended up like this. Shen Qingzhi was exactly eighty years old at the time.
Not long after Liu Ziye killed Shen Qingzhi, he was ambushed and killed by his subordinates. It is ridiculous and ridiculous that when Liu Yilong was there, he had Shen Qingzhi by his side and became a person who led the army to suppress the rebellion. When Liu Junshi was around, he had Shen Qingzhi by his side and became the escort who ascended the throne. Liu Ziye also had Shen Qingzhi by his side, but he was killed by Liu Ziye himself, and Liu Ziye ended up being killed by thieves.
The hero is alone
Cold talk
"The heavenly dance is dry, and the fierce zhi is always there." Shen Qingzhi's eighty can still calm the world, and it is mighty and abnormal. His death once again tells us what a bloody and terrible social system the feudal dynasty was.
Although Shen Qingzhi was born in a reckless background, he may not be able to write, but it does not prevent him from knowing things. "Self-cultivation and family rule the country and the world", this set of Confucian theories, may not be known to Shen Qingzhi, but it has been practiced with a lifetime.
Shen Qingzhi was unfortunately born in that era, if we are in this society today, there is no change of the royal family of the feudal dynasty, his old age, will certainly be like the veterans on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of China,
