The translation is as follows:
I heard that things were planned in advance before they happened, so it would be easy to deal with them; If you plan to deal with something after it has happened, it is often beyond your power to do it. The Jin people invaded the land of Central China, and the courtiers should think about the national humiliation and the people all over the world. Such a mind has never dared to forget. My hometown and houses are all in Jinan, a great kindness who served as a military officer and suffered a great Song Dynasty.
my grandfather told me that because there were too many people, I couldn't get away from being captured by the Jin people, so I couldn't assume the official position of the Jin people. Later, staying in the capital and visiting Suzhou and Bozhou, as well as Haizhou in Yizhou, were not his ambitions! Every time I leave the DPRK and go home for dinner, I will take us young people to climb mountains, overlook the world and talk about important national affairs.
I want to take up arms and fight to the death with the Golden Man, because my ancestors and the Golden Man have sworn enemies! Grandfather often took me to drive as far away as Yanshan, just to survey the terrain. It's a pity that my grandfather died before the plan was worked out.
In the thirty-first year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in Shaoxing, Wan Yanliang, the king of Jin Hailing, invaded the south, and all the people in the Central Plains gathered together. I also gathered 2, people to join Gengjing as the secretary in charge, and together with him, I attempted to recover the Central Plains. One * * * gathered 25, people to join the imperial court. Unfortunately, something happened in the middle, and things changed unpredictably.
(here refers to a general in the uprising army, Zhang Anguo, who killed Geng Jing and defected to invest in gold) I am loyal to Dasong, and I am filled with indignation! Now, I have settled down to think privately: the court should act prudently in the current affairs, and can't let the conspirators of the Jin people succeed. In the past, it was war and peace, and it was often the decision of the Jin people, but we could only respond passively.
I remember that the last time I was in Yanshan, I had already asked for a tribute, but it was not long before Bianjing was surrounded. However, when I failed to make a peace, Hui and Qin were captured. Qin Gui and others' peace can only make Jin people more unscrupulous. When the other side saw the advantage, it fought with our DaSong, and when the troops were tired, they made peace with us, cheating and cheating. What did we get?
Only General Zhang Jun's anti-gold army has achieved initial results. Since it won, don't consider failure. Things were not perfect, but later it failed. After everyone made peace, it was ravaged by the gold people, so the history of the anti-gold struggle was cruel.
Those who know nothing about military affairs think that victory is a scourge only when they see that it is impossible to maintain. These people who are not enlightened and unreliable are great evils, so we should learn from them! I believe that there is a plan to recover the Central Plains, and don't care about the victory or defeat of the First World War.
And those imperial officials always think too much. It's a pity that the thought of using troops is like talking about fear! The ancients said not to give up a big career because of small setbacks. Exactly!
Your Majesty, you are smart and brave, and you have profound insight into things. Even if Emperor Guangwu is wise, Tang Xianzong's courage can't compare with you! Just a golden man, but let you get up early and go to bed late and get tired. This is the time when people of insight in the world offer their advice to you! Although I am from a humble background, I have no talent, just because my loyalty to my DaSong inspired me and I can't control myself.
Now that the Jin people have disadvantages, it is time for us to take advantage of them. However, the general policy of the imperial court is still to be on guard, that is, there is no danger. Therefore, I tried my best and overreached myself, and wrote ten strategies to resist the enemy. The name of the article is Mei Qin. Three of them are about analyzing the disadvantages and weaknesses of the enemy, and seven of them are about the measures that the imperial court should take at present.
First assess the situation, then observe the enemy's situation, and then observe its changes, so that we can know the enemy's actual situation like the palm of our hand, and then use the tactics in the seven chapters in order to defeat the enemy. As long as your majesty implements it quickly, I will be determined to win the initiative, so don't be confused by everyone's discussion. If the Central Plains is successfully recovered, your majesty's heroism will not be inferior to that of Emperor Taizong.
I take the liberty to offer my plan. Even if I have committed a great crime of exceeding my authority, I hope the king will sincerely accept the delicious celery from Shan Ye. Please forgive my arrogance, pity my loyalty and accept my suggestion critically. I will feel extremely honored!
Extended information
In p>1165, Xin Qiji wrote 1 papers, also known as "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", stating the great plan of resisting gold to save the country, recovering lost land and unifying China. The Ten Treatises on Meiqin is dedicated to the emperor. Therefore, the author modestly claims that the Ten Treatises is just what he thinks is good, and the emperor may not necessarily like it-just as the Song people like celery-in fact, the emperor does not like it.
Since Xin Qiji presented Ten Treatises on Meiqin, people have regarded "Meiqin" as a synonym for worrying about the country, the people and the subversion of the country. From then on, Meiqin has a specific and far-reaching meaning.
Ten Treatises on Meiqin was written by Xin Qiji, a patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The book is incisive from the first theory to the tenth theory. At the same time, it is also a good military treatise with high research value.
In addition, Ten Treatises on Mei Qin became synonymous with Xin Qiji, and Mr. Guo Moruo wrote an elegy for Xin Qiji's tomb: "The iron plate and the copper pipa, following Dongpo's singing of river of no return (the first couplet); Meiqin is sad and sorrowful, but in the Southern Song Dynasty of Hebei, Mo flew south with Hongyan. (bottom line) ".
