As the old saying goes, one fence three piles, one good man three gangs, the words are not rough. This phrase is especially applicable in the history of ancient warfare. How many legendary and famous generals throughout the ages have achieved great military achievements, which are inseparable from the bloody battles of thousands of ordinary soldiers. Relying on the wisdom and ability of a person alone, even if you wisdom race Zhuge Liang and brave Zhao Zilong, you can only be a lone palm. Therefore, the famous generals of ancient times have attached great importance to the building of the contingent; not only must they be able to use troops, but more importantly, they must know how to train and administer the army; only by establishing an army with a mountain of orders, strict discipline, and a tough work style is the fundamental guarantee for defeating the enemy and standing in an invincible position.
Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, was a very outstanding military talent. He himself was outstanding in martial arts, and he was skilled in the use of soldiers, and more importantly, he attached great importance to the way of training troops and governing the army. After decades of painstaking management, he finally created a prestigious "Yue Family Army". The Yue family army had two major characteristics, which made it stand out among the Southern Song Dynasty troops at that time, and became one of the most effective armies at that time.
The first characteristic is naturally strong combat strength. At that time, the opponent of the Yue family army was the Jinguo people, whose cavalry tactics were thunderous, as fast as lightning, and the golden soldiers were superb in riding and shooting, barbaric and fierce in nature, and there was a myth that "the jurchens were dissatisfied with the ten thousand, and the full ten thousand were invincible". The infantry-based army of the Central Plains Dynasty, whether it is the overall mobility or personal fighting spirit and physical strength, is far from the Golden Soldiers, and it is difficult to win in field duels. However, Yue Fei carefully studied flexible and practical tactics such as "riding with riding" and "riding with steps", which made the Yue family army an extremely rare team at that time that dared to fight hard with the Jinguo cavalry in the field, and repeatedly won, becoming the dream of the Jinguo people.
The second characteristic is strict military discipline. The reason why the Yue family army can have superior combat strength is inseparable from the support and support of the common people. Yue Fei was well aware of this, and he strictly restrained his subordinates, strictly prohibited disturbing the people and harming the people, "freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering", and was one of the few benevolent and righteous teachers at that time who could make the people accept the recognition. However, unfortunately, Yue Feidan's heart was angry about protecting the country and the people, but in the end he became a thorn in the eye of the lord and sent Song Gaozong and Qin Jun, and he framed Yue Fei and imprisoned him on the charge of fabricating accusations, resulting in thousands of ancient injustices.
According to Mr. Zeng Yu, the King of Song Shi Taidou, yue jiajun had a large and small military general with a surname in the historical records, except for Zhang Xian, who was killed with Yue Fei, and some of the dead, there were 113 other people. When Yue Fei was killed, these people behaved surprisingly calmly, and none of them were indifferent. In fact, this is not surprising at all. The first reason is that Yue Fei himself has always been loyal to the king and patriotic, his subordinates will be taught by his words and deeds, and they are also people with a strong sense of loyalty to the king, and the national interests of the monarch and the Song Dynasty are the first in their minds, and at no time they will rebel and fight against the Song Dynasty.
Secondly, Emperor Gaozong of Song and the traitorous chancellor Qin Ju had long been on guard against this, and while disposing of Yue Fei, they also divided and disintegrated the 113 military generals of the Yue family army, some of whom were co-opted by them as high-ranking officials Houlu, some of whom were transferred from the Yue family army to serve in other places, and some of whom they demeaned. Without Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, there would be no soul and core, and the martial generals would become a scattered sand, so even if they were dissatisfied, they could only helplessly do nothing.
However, although Emperor Gaozong of Song and Qin Ju were able to level the Yue family's army, their cruelty to Yue Fei, who was loyal to Tianri, aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people of the world. There were still many people who dared to speak out against Yue Fei when yue fei was killed, and cried out for Yue Fei. Zhao Shijiao, the royal prince of the Song Dynasty and the king of Qian County, was one of the most representative. Zhao Shihuan was fierce and upright, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the emperor and Qin Juniper's unjust killing of Yue Fei, so he wrote directly to the emperor and declared fiercely: "The Central Plains are not jing, and the harm to loyalty and righteousness is to forget the Second Saint and not to restore the Central Plains." The subject is innocent of a hundred mouths! "The impassioned heart is moving.
However, Zhao Shihuan's cry did not awaken the dim and incompetent Zhao Shuo. Qin Ju held a grudge against Zhao Shihuan, and played Song Gaozong on the charge of "traffic general marshal", demoting Zhao Shihuan out of Beijing and dying in a barbaric land. However, just as the so-called providence was difficult to violate the will of the people, Qin Juniper's evil deeds finally caused himself great disaster. The Compilation of the Northern League of the Three Dynasties and the Chronicle of the Chronicles of the Lineage Since Jianyan both record that one day in March of the twenty-third year of Shaoxing, Qin Ju was assassinated on the way to the upper dynasty and was almost killed.
At that time, in the front and rear of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army Hall, there was a small soldier Shi Quan. He was very indignant and indignant at Qin Juniper's ugly behavior of brutalizing Zhongliang and bowing to the enemy country. So he wanted to fight for his life and eliminate adultery for the country. In order to ensure that he would hit a blow, he prepared a knife, "a knife", and went to Qin Juniper's daily pilgrimage to find Qin Juniper. When Qin Juniper's palanquin came, Shi Quan suddenly rushed forward, picked up the knife and slashed at Qin Juniper's palanquin, only to be blocked by the palanquin, failed to succeed, and did not allow him to cut a second time, the guards had already caught him, and finally he was "given death according to law". Although Shi Quan died, his courage to sacrifice himself to assassinate the traitor also won the praise of future generations for thousands of years.
