To rebel or not

"Yes, it was destroyed. In the end, the fortress that the enemy could not capture was destroyed by our own people." Zhou Zhi patted the big snake on the head: "Just like this Xuanwu sculpture, although the turtle is as solid as a rock, powerful and powerful, it cannot hold down the big snake.

It's a bad thing to put pressure on yourself..."

"Is there a traitor?" Liang Hong asked.

"It can't be said that there was a traitor." Zhou Zhi lamented: "To be precise, it should be that the Southern Song Dynasty court was busy with party struggles and forced a national hero to become a traitor!"

"What?"

"We said before that the defensive system in southern Sichuan was completed by Yu Jie. This system withstood the Mongol and Yuan attacks for decades. It can even be said that until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, this system was not broken. Even the snakeheads

God's Arm City can resist foreign enemies alone for thirty-four years."

"Do you know what happened to Yu Jie, who was such a great hero who broke up the Mongolian army's plan to enter Shu and follow the river to destroy the Song Dynasty?" Zhou Zhi sneered: "In order to straighten the administration of officials, enforce discipline, set up defenses, and promote development, when we see the success,

He was framed and died in Yuzhou."

"Just like Yue Fei?"

"Yu Jie won the Anti-Japanese War and was at odds with the ruler Yao Shi'an. Yao Shi'an relied on the then prime minister Xie Fangshu for support. So Xie Fangshu tried to persecute him. He and Xu Qingsou, the counselor and political counselor, made false accusations to Emperor Lizong and attacked Yu Jie's sole power. However, he did not

Courtesy of the Governor."

"Li Zong believed the slander and summoned him to return to the court. Yu Jie knew that something had happened and became angry and became ill. In July of the same year, he died suddenly in Shu at the age of fifty-six. There are rumors that he committed suicide by taking poison."

"After Yu Jie's death, Lizong resigned from the court in his honor and gave him a special gift of five sense organs. However, in June of the following year, after the court removed his wings, Wu Sui, the imperial censor, and others mobilized to report to Chen Yu Jie the seven crimes of 'accumulating unjust profits'

, Emperor Lizong issued an edict to inspect Yu Jie’s family property.”

"Later, it was also said that he was incompetent in pacifying Sichuan, laboring the army and impoverishing the people, and ordered his family to transport money to 'reward the teachers and revitalize the people'. In October, after being falsely accused by the supervisory censor Chen Dafang, Lizong dismissed Yu Jie as a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace

position, and persecuted his family members and close associates."

"It is unjust for a country like this not to perish!" Fang Wenyu was filled with indignation.

"That's why Wang Fuzhi's "Lun of the Song Dynasty" is well written." Zhou Zhi said: "Meng Zongzheng, Zhao Fang, Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Peng Daya and others have risen, and the soldiers are still enough to be soldiers, and the generals are still enough to be generals.

There is still time to fight, and there is still time to defend. Victory is still not a matter of luck, and defeat is enough to support oneself. The left and right are blocked between Huai, Xiang, Chu, and Shu, not only to cut off the remaining gold in half, but also to compete with the Mongols."

"... He used bribes to look after the generals, he controlled the army with gentleness, he used marriage and straightness as enemies, and he used love and hate as punishments. So Yu Jie died and Sichuan and Shu were in danger; Liu Zheng rebelled and Sichuan and Shu were destroyed.

Lu Wenhuan's help was exhausted and Yangluo's crossing could not be stopped." Zhou Zhi's eyes were also full of resentment: "When Yu Jie died, it was recorded in history that 'the people of Shu are all as sad as losing their parents'."

"Then the traitor you are talking about is the person who 'rebelled and Sichuan and Shu will be destroyed'?" Zhang Lu asked: "This one is called Liu Zheng?"

"Yes." Zhou Zhi said: "Liu Zheng is from Guanzhong. He is very brave. He once accompanied Meng Gong to attack Xinyang of the Jin Dynasty. He led twelve brave men at night to cross the chasm and climb the city to attack and capture its defenders."

"Meng Gong was shocked when he learned about it. He thought that Li Cunxiao, a famous general from the Five Dynasties, led 18 cavalry to capture Luoyang. Now Liu Zheng led a smaller army and captured Xinyang, so he was called 'Sai Cunxiao' in the army."

"Later, when he served as the deputy envoy to pacify Tongchuan Fulu and learned about Luzhou, he was one of the four main generals under the Sichuan Zhizhi Department and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the battles with the Mongolian army in Suining and Fuzhou."

"It's a pity that Liu Zheng, a northerner, was promoted because of his martial arts skills, and all the generals in the south were inferior to him. This became an original sin."

"As a result, Liu Zheng was jealous of his boss Lu Wende. Whenever he came up with a plan, he was denied. Whenever he had merit, he was concealed. Yu Xing, who had conflicts with Liu Zheng, was appointed as the Sichuan envoy to attack Liu Zheng."

"The two also planned to collude to falsely accuse and persecute Liu Zheng. After Liu Zheng learned the news, he was frightened and sent people to Lin'an to appeal to the court."

"As a result, when his subordinates arrived in Lin'an, they discovered that their superiors Jiang Wanzai and others, who had always valued Liu Zheng, had been forced to resign, and there was no way to complain. Moreover, the famous generals Xiang Shibi and Cao Shixiong were also forced to death by the traitor Jia Sidao, so they '

He could not protect himself from danger and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty."

"The funniest thing is that Song Lizong was furious when he heard that Liu Zheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. He ordered Yu Xing to attack him, but he was defeated by Liu Zheng."

"In the next two years, the Song general Gao Gao invaded Chengdu in a gentle manner. Liu Zheng was ordered to rush to help. When the Song soldiers heard that 'Sai Cunxiao' had arrived, they did not even dare to fight and fled at night."

"Then the two prepared to attack Tongchuan, but were defeated by Liu Zheng in Jinjiang."

"In the fourth year of Zhizheng, Liu Zheng, who had been promoted to General Zhaowu for his merits and was envoy to Nanjing Road, went to the imperial court to see Kublai Khan and proposed the best military plan to destroy the Song Dynasty. In order to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, he must first capture Xiangyang.

.”

"Kublai Khan adopted Liu Zheng's plan and promoted him to the general of Zhenguo and the marshal of the capital. He adjusted the direction of the war, abandoned the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack southern Sichuan defense line, and turned to attack Xiangyang. From that time, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty officially began.

Countdown."

"What's the fate of this man?" Fang Wenyu asked.

"After that, there were many 'great achievements' one after another." Zhou Zhi said with sighs: "He was the deputy commander in the siege of Xiangyang. He led 50,000 troops, attacked the counties along the river, captured the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, built 5,000 ships, and trained the navy.

70,000, killed many Song army commanders, and suggested to the commander that if he wanted to conquer Xiangyang, he should first conquer Fancheng."

"After that, he took the lead, broke through the outer walls of Fan City, beheaded 2,000 people, captured 16 generals, and captured Zhang Guiyu, who had left the city to seek help, at Cabinet Pass, completely sealing off Xiangyang."

"In the first month of the tenth year of Zhengzheng, Fancheng was broken and massacred. Lv Wenhuan was isolated and helpless, so he presented the city and surrendered. The Battle of Xiangyang was declared over, and the Southern Song Dynasty was basically over."

"Liu Zheng was promoted to General of the Hussars Guards, and he wrote to Zuo Cheng in his speech. Later, he defeated the Song Dynasty general Xia Guisuo and led his navy in Da Renzhou."

"In the first month of the twelfth year of Zhengzheng, Liu Zheng was ordered to lead an army to attack Huainan, using the east wing to cover the attack of the main force in the middle. Liu Zheng hoped to cross the river with victory and compete with the main force in the middle, but was blocked by the leader Boyan and failed.

"

"Later, Liu Zheng heard the news about Boyan crossing the river and entering EZ. He couldn't help but said sadly: 'The commander-in-chief stopped me because he wanted to make me a successful descendant. A good author does not need to be good. Sure enough.' That night, he died angrily at the gate of AH Wuwei City.

, sixty-three years old.”

"The Yuan Dynasty presented General Longhuwei, Zhongshu Youcheng, with the posthumous title of 'Wu Min'."

"A warrior who was supposed to defend the Song Dynasty and was undefeated throughout his life, known as Sai Cunxiao and Iron Hozen, was forced to become the top strategist and military strategist of the Yuan Dynasty, the biggest planner and the biggest planner of the destruction of the Song Dynasty.

The executor, the loyal minister who worked hard and finally died at his job!"

"If it were you, would you fight back?" After listening to the story, everyone was silent. After a while, Wei Fei let out a breath and asked this question with some uncertainty.

"'The time has come', and the road is not good enough. Even the master dares to say that he can ride on a boat and float on the sea." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Until that time comes, saying you can or you can't, are just unproven lies.

.We can only be grateful to this era, which saves us from having to suffer such mental and physical torture, and the test of conscience and integrity."
