(1) Deng Guangming and Wang Zengyu's views on this matter.
Deng Guangming's article "A Textual Research on the Victory of Zhuxian Town and the Imperial Decree of Yue Fei's Dispatching Troops" mainly expounds two views on the matter of dispatching troops. First, "Yue Fei transferred troops from Xijing Luoyang to the imperial edict of Zheng, Chen, Ruzhou and Yingchang Mansions, and he himself was like" Legacy History "and" Yingchang Mansion ". ; Second, the so-called twelve gold medals or letters promoting Yue Fei's division are not credible. In a word, Deng Guangming's basic understanding in this article is that Yue Fei still belongs to the teacher by imperial edict, but it is not as complicated and dramatic as described in Implementing Chronicle.
The above article was written in 1980. In Deng Guangming's Biography of Yue Fei, which was revised and finalized in 1982, there is also a related narrative: "However, at this moment, the Southern Song Dynasty issued a golden signboard instruction to Yue Fei, the content of which is equivalent to reaffirming the secret message transmitted by Li in mid-June, demanding Yue Fei." The word "handling class" puts heavy pressure on Yue Fei. Because, after receiving this instruction, if you don't move the troops, it is a violation of North Korea's orders. That will not only make the trap that has been set work, that is, the fake hand of 8 Jin J, and destroy Yue Jiajun; The Southern Song Dynasty can also be used as an excuse to punish the crime of disobeying the imperial edict, and there are sufficient reasons to mobilize the troops of Zhang Jun, Wang De, Yang Yizhong and others to attack Yue Fei and Yue Jiajun. Yue Fei, who was in an awkward situation, called his main ministries and commissions to discuss countermeasures. Ministers agreed that since the problem we are facing now is that we can only choose between the head teacher and the bereaved teacher, then we have to obey the head teacher! "
Here, Deng Guangming's basic point of view is the same as before, but he analyzed the military situation at that time and thought that Yue Fei "can only choose between the class teacher and the bereaved teacher." In all fairness, the article "that will not only make the trap that has been set play a role, that is, the fake hand of 8 Jin Army, and destroy Yue Jiajun;" The Southern Song Dynasty can also be used as an excuse to punish the crime of disobeying the imperial edict. It has every reason to mobilize the troops of Zhang Jun, Wang De and Yang Yizhong. It's really hard to call it objective, but Yue Jiajun's situation at that time was beyond doubt.
Wang Zengqi is also an authoritative scholar who studies Yue Fei. In the "Yue Fei and Political and Military Research in the Early Southern Song Dynasty", the "Textual Research on Class Teachers" section also elaborated on the class teachers in detail. He believes that "since most of Emperor Gaozong's imperial books have been lost, there is no sufficient basis for denying the imperial edict of the Twelve Classes." ; In addition, we also talked about a situation: "First, as mentioned above, when Song Gaozong sent a letter to suspend his military division, Yue Fei had already moved his military division. Second, Yue Fei went to the front only after Zhang Jun, and Liu Wei and Han Shizhong were both early. Yang Yizhong went to the front line after Yue Fei went to the front line. "
It should be said that Wang Zengyu's analysis of letters is unique because of his careful proofreading work such as the compilation of Ewan and the sequel of Ewan. However, according to Yue Lin, he not only talked about "hundreds of carefree chapters", but also said that he was detained. Because this is the emperor's letter, Yue Fei must take good care of it, and so must Qin Gui. We don't know whether the content of the imperial edict was not included in the book because it was not conducive to Yue Fei's reputation. However, judging from the contents of Shaoxing's ten, eleven and two years, even if it is lost, it is only a few, which is by no means what Wang Zengyu said.
(b) Analysis of Emperor Gaozong's letters
Previously, I published "An Analysis of Yue Fei's Aid to Shaoshunchang in Ten Years", and analyzed the imperial edicts of Emperor Gaozong in the early stage of Yue Fei's invasion. Here, I will continue to analyze the imperial edicts one by one.
1 Zou, Lan Qing, battalion commander of Foucault, has left Cai Zhou to go north for processing. It is deeply regrettable that the guards took the lead in being loyal to Guo Xu. However, it is not surprising that you should worry too much, and you are afraid of being fat when you are pregnant with poison. It's time for Xu Cai's followers to get together at an early stage. The army should advance and retreat, prioritize and try its best to appoint ministers, so I won't take precautions. The third day.
I know that I have sent troops to Zhengzhou and promised Chen Caiyi to take the lead. The situation is all mine. Another army went to the thief's village for only a hundred miles, and thought that the loyalty and loyalty of the Qing Dynasty would destroy the remnants of Lu and regretted it. However, the thief's plan is always based on deception. Although you didn't expect his plot, he rebuked you openly. As a spy, he will take the opportunity to choose profits, which is completely guaranteed. Military decision-making is difficult, and I will pay the price if I advance or retreat late. I've sent Lao Qing's army, but before I arrived, Qing wanted something, and he fought in the early stage. There is no sooner or later to enter the Hajj, but the military can appoint a subordinate, even on the way. I think it is appropriate to know this letter.
I tasted Wen Qing's performance and said that Zhang Xi 'an and Childe Xu of Wang Gui had made great contributions to the war neutrality, so they could rely on it. Now, Fang is relying on Jiang Zuo to do his best to help Qing serve the country and do good deeds. It is reasonable to reward him first. Wang Gui and others each gave him the collar of a twisted gold thread shirt and a gold belt, and they could pay for it. The twelfth.
I will never forget that I played ball in the Qing Dynasty, raised soldiers on the road and worked hard in summer. Crazy Lu is still close, it is autumn, so prepare in advance to prevent sudden panic. Cai Ying was transferred to Jingxi in the past, and now he is responsible for handling Fu Qing's affairs. When he is an adventurous person, he will be stationed in defense and will try to get rid of his route for providing foodstuff and let Lu treat him coldly. In your master plan, you can draw wherever you like. I've been wanting to see you for a long time. When I'm done, I'd better ride over here. I can discuss it. I think it is appropriate to know this letter.
According to recent reports and news from various places, it is said that Wu Shu and Longhu have agreed to lure Julian Waghann to Bianjing to join hands in World War I.. You should be steady and steady, be self-sufficient and make progress together. When in trouble, you can lure him lightly, but don't be greedy for small profits and fall into the trap. As long as there is space available, we will cooperate regularly to ensure safety. The 27th.
The above imperial edict was issued by Emperor Gaozong after understanding the early situation of Yue Fei. The main spirit is "seize the opportunity to choose interests, and you will be guaranteed to be complete", because Yue Fei has repeatedly raised the issue of going to Hajj. At this time, Emperor Gaozong's attitude changed greatly, and he didn't stop him from going to Hajj. Instead, he said, "I don't have time to go to Hajj, but the military can appoint a subordinate, even on the way" and "I have long wanted to see your mother, so I might as well come here by light bike." Wang Zengyu analyzed this as "one is afraid of defeat, and the other is afraid of victory." Actually, it is not. According to the emperor's psychology at that time, he was not so confident in the fighting capacity of the generals. "Fear of losing" is normal. After Liu Kun first defeated the enemy in Shunchang, Gao Zong also admitted that "he cares about the strength of the small enemy and deeply cares about the north", which can be seen from his heart. As for the statement of "fear of victory", it is really groundless. As mentioned above, the principle of Emperor Gaozong at this time was "seize the opportunity to choose benefits and ensure integrity", so what you want is to keep a small victory, and you don't want Yue Fei to go north again, but hope that the next strategy of "slow and steady progress" must be decided after Yue Fei enters the pilgrimage.
On July 5 and 8, I heard that Lu joined forces in Tokyo, and the thief chief led the crowd to attack and won a great victory. Taking loyalty and righteousness as the spirit, being a strong enemy, aiming at destroying thieves, I am deeply dedicated to it. Yang Yizhong has been sent to learn about the army's departure and has tried to contain it, because he stayed in Bo. It is said that Liu Kun also entered Xiangcheng. You should judge the situation and choose the advantage to advance and retreat. The whole army is the best. You might as well try to steal, don't fall into the trap. Thank you for sending this letter.
Looking at the Qing Dynasty, on the eighth day of the battle, Lu rushed to the strong with fine riding, claiming to be ingenious. Qing sent him back to meet the thief and killed his leader, which was really a great achievement. However, the enemy is close at hand, and the Qing army is fighting alone. Loyalty inspired him, and the gods helped him. He sighed again and again and never forgot. Bibi has sent the whole army of Yang Yizhong to Susie, and Han Shizhong has also sent troops to the east. You expected that the enemy had no plan, and you judged between urgency and no urgency at will, but you still met Liu Wei. I have repeatedly told your majesty that I will not obey, and I will fight whatever I need in front of the army. July 22nd.
8. When you were playing, Wu Shu saw soldiers gathering and attacking each other. When you wanted to take it, you blew up the canal leader. If you are prepared to see the spirit of loyalty and righteousness, you will know the gods, while if the enemy is prosperous, the country will be strong, and only the Qing Dynasty will rely on it. Zhang Jun went from Huaixi and Han Shizhong successively, choosing his own strengths and going hand in hand. If Lu is weak, it is easy to seize the opportunity to annihilate it. If there are still intrigues, I believe you can also foresee the enemy and respond accordingly. I fled from Lu and saw something. I recorded this book for Fu Qing today, and I also want to know about it. I think it is appropriate to know this letter.
The above three letters were issued after Emperor Gaozong learned of Yancheng's great victory. At this point, the emperor was in high spirits and wanted to dispatch troops to cooperate with Yue Fei. Compared with before, he felt on thin ice. At this time, the emperor said, "If Lu's potential is poor, he will seize the opportunity to destroy it. If there is a sinister plot, he will be able to foresee the enemy and respond. " How exciting this change is, but it is also Rainbow Zeng Yu's estimation of the writing time of imperial edicts, and these imperial edicts were given to him. The time of Yue Fei's handover is recorded as July in both, that is, July 20th of the lunar calendar (July is counted as 21st), and Deng Wang also adopted this date, but I actually counted it as 20th according to the western calendar conversion software of the Computing Center of Taiwan Academia Sinica. Comparatively speaking, I still believe in the latter.
It's a pity that you 18 called to cope with the placement. Qing Guo, his words are eager and unforgettable. In a convenient place, Young Shao reported that Liu Kun was in the photo, and if there is an opportunity, let's make an appointment to go together. If you stop to look at the enemy's troubles, you must also support them. Please be informed that Yang Yizhong has been issued since 25th of this month. I am very grateful to you for sending this letter.
10 is more interesting than Wen Qing, which makes me very happy. But Yiqing was at war with Lu in Jingxi yesterday, so he sent all the armies to go hand in hand. Now that Han Shizhong is at the gates of Huaiyang and Yang Yizhong has gone to Xuzhou, you will stay in Jingxi, waiting for the hostility to contain it. As long as all the places are in the same direction, there will be no trouble with big plans, and then meet each other after a brief encounter. Thank you for sending this letter.
1 1 Yesterday, Han Shizhong went out of Huaiyang, and asked you to stay in Jingxi, which was a containment. Now he has arrived in Luzhou, and Shi Zhong has returned to Chu. You should ride a horse to Hajj, your deputy is waiting for you, and your military affairs are negotiable. Thank you for sending this letter.
The above three letters were issued by Emperor Gaozong after Yue Fei transferred troops, and the time was roughly between the end of July and the beginning of August. One of the most important ones is "Eighteen people fought Deqing", and two completely different conclusions can be drawn from different understandings of this. First of all, let's talk about York. In the Chronicle of Practice, he said: "I am also determined to recover in the world, and I want to see the results. Holding the imperial edict, I said,' It's a pity that 18 still has to be played and the lineup has to be dealt with. Qing Guo, his words are eager and unforgettable. Green and stay in a convenient place, Liu * * * is reporting the situation at the stage, and has an appointment to go together if there is an opportunity. " ; Wang Zengyu analyzed this imperial edict in the Supplement to Jinwan Edition in Hubei Province, and thought: "Emperor Gaozong reluctantly agreed to suspend the placement of classes, but he had to advance and retreat with Yang Yizhong and Liu Kun. When he started writing, it had turned into a piece of paper. "; As for Deng Guangming, he said in the Biography of Yue Fei: "At this moment, the Southern Song Dynasty issued a" golden signboard "instruction to Yue Fei, the content of which was equivalent to reiterating the secret telegram handed down by Li in mid-June, asking Yue Fei to" handle the team ".It can be said that both Deng and Wang were misled. Why do you see it? The following details.
First of all, judging from the time schedule of the delivery of military books, according to the time estimate that it takes about ten days to reach the front line in Lin 'an, a bundle of "Eighteen Performances in Deqing" should be issued at the end of July, as mentioned above; In the same way, the imperial edict that Yue Fei received when he wrote the eighteenth memorial should have been issued by Emperor Gaozong in early July, but as I analyzed above, there was no imperial edict during this period, and an imperial edict was issued before and after the Yancheng War (June 27th). A later imperial edict (promulgated around July 20) said: "It is best for the whole army to follow the trend and advance and retreat in moderation. You might as well try to steal, but don't fall into another trap. " It is estimated that Yue Fei will have passed Shunchang by then. It is a well-known fact that all kinds of historical books record indifferent imperial edicts. Even Deng Guangming and Wang Zengyu put forward the word "handling the transfer of soldiers" as the basis in the imperial edict, which is actually not enough.
Secondly, from the meaning of the imperial edict. The sentence "It's a pity for the teacher to deal with the eighteen plays in Deqing" is really enough to reflect the ambiguity of ancient Chinese, because there are two understandings of this sentence. One is that Yue Fei hopes to "deal with class division", while Gao Zong thinks that "the opportunity is a pity"; One is that Emperor Gaozong ordered Yue Fei to "handle class division", and Yue Fei felt that "the opportunity is a pity". To make matters worse, these two ambiguities can be explained from the context before and after this imperial edict. According to the previous understanding, the emperor said, "Qing and Shao are in a convenient place, and report to Liu Kun on the same stage. If there is an opportunity, make an appointment to go hand in hand. If you stop to look at the enemy's troubles, you must also support each other. " Yue Fei should not rush back to the army, but should advance and retreat with the generals; According to the latter understanding, the latter sentence of Emperor Gaozong can be understood as Wang Zengyu's meaning of "reluctantly agreeing to suspend class division". At this point, the trouble came, as if at a fork in the road, it is difficult to determine from left to right. However, referring to the next imperial edict, we have some clues. Yesterday, I was at war with Qing in Jingxi and Lu, so I sent all the armies to keep pace. Now that Han Shizhong is at the gates of Huaiyang and Yang Yizhong has gone to Xuzhou, you will stay in Jingxi, waiting for the hostility to contain it. As long as all the places are in the same direction, they will make plans without worry, and then meet each other after a brief encounter. "Because of the crisis in Jingxi before Yue Fei, Emperor Gaozong asked Liu Kun to come from nearby, and Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong cooperated from a distance. This is based on historical data. Looking up Yao Lu 137, we can see that Han Shizhong was still attacking Huaiyang Army in early August and Yang Yizhong in mid-August. If the emperor really wants Yue Fei to transfer troops because he is weak, then why do you want the armies to support him? As a result, Zhong Jun under the command of Yang Yizhong suffered great losses? What York said in the Chronicle of Reality is really misleading!
Thirdly, from the analysis of the actual situation at that time, if Gao Zong really forced Yue Fei to transfer troops, but in fact Yue Jiajun had a high prestige in Henan, Wu Shu was far away, and since Yannan, the Jin people could not give orders. This is Yue Fei's plan. It has been firmly established that the troops have been stationed in counties and counties, which shows us the future. Why did dispatch troops go south, and after returning to the army on the 20th, in less than ten days, Yingchang and Zhou Chen fell into the enemy again, and crossed the Huaihe River on the 27th and entered the pilgrimage? In addition, the memorial service on 18 was still fierce and opposed to separatism. Why didn't the emperor reply, that is, the division moved south two days later?
With these questions, we can have a more objective understanding of the actual situation at that time by consulting relevant historical records.
Records of Jian Yan Years (Volume 137): Yi Mao, Yue Fei was heavily stationed in Yingchang in the early days. In order to stay there for a long time, he wants to go back to Zhang Jun from Bozhou. The Golden Spy knows that Fei is alone, so he unites to fly. Fee can't prevaricate, urgent report Huaibei judge Liu Kun, sent troops to contain, arrived in Taikang County. In the battle, Yang Zaixing Wang Lan was killed, the resurrected body was burned, and the arrow was 2 liters. The heavy rain and the flooding of the river prevented the enemy from advancing, but the loyalists were repelled.
Volume 204: On the 14th, Yue Fei took command and was defeated in Yingchang Prefecture, and Yang Zaixing and Wang Lin were killed. Yang Zaixing and Wang Lan rode five hundred straight into the Lu array, killing thousands of people, then fighting Lanjun and dying, and belt Collins also died. Those who heard of it cherished it. When the resurrected body was burned, the arrow rose by two liters. It rained cats and dogs, and the stream overflowed, so the soldiers could not enter, but the loyal ministers were returned.
Looking through York's Hsi Chin in Hubei, we can see that Yue Fei almost won the Northern Expedition in Shaoxing for ten years, but Yang Zaixing's sacrifice in the battle of Xiaoshangqiao was rarely mentioned. Deng Guangming's Biography of Yue Fei said this battle: "Killing two thousand enemies, eight violets were scattered in every household, and more than a thousand households, big and small, and more than a hundred households." Later, classical Chinese and Yingchang won a great victory, they said; "In this campaign, when the array killed the enemy's general Xia Jinwu (Wu Shu's son-in-law), it shocked the enemy. He also killed five people from thousands of families, captured 78 leaders, including Wang Songshou, Nuzhen Khan Erdudian, Zhang Laisun and Ali, and killed more than 500 enemy soldiers. The number of seriously injured enemy troops and captured horses, drums, flags, guns, weapons and armor is unknown. " Comparing these two results, the battle of Xiaoshangqiao suffered heavy losses than the victory of Yingchang, and Yue Jiajun lost three generals. It can also be seen that this is a very tragic war. Yingchang's victory was a confrontation of tens of thousands of people, but the battle of Xiaoshangqiao turned into a small-scale battle of 300 cavalry against Xu Jinguo's main force. York's narrative style of avoiding defeat and winning is written here.
Yue Fei was scattered at that time, but the main force was still in Yingchang County, Wang Gui, Dong Xian and Zhang Xian were in Yingchang County, and Yue Fei himself was in Yancheng. The Biography of Yue Hou said: "Wu Shu joined forces with the Dragon and Tiger King and the mighty general Han Changbing in Linying with 120,000 troops." Geographically, Linying is between Yingchang Fucheng and Yancheng County. The Biography of Ten Generals in Nandu (volume 1) and Biography of Liu Kun in the Song Dynasty said: "Yue Fei's army was stationed in Yingchang, while other troops were stationed in Yancheng, so the soldiers could not be combined. Sending veteran Yang Zaixing to attack the thief was unfavorable, and then the war resumed. The judgment that the soldiers are incompatible is in line with the facts. It can also be judged that Yang Zaixing is attacking, not so-called "patrolling". Why do you need so many generals? Say a fierce battle, three generals will be killed, how many can 300 cavalry survive? /kloc-On the afternoon of 0/3, Zhang Xian led his troops from Yingchang and fought fiercely again at Xiaoshangqiao, still in order to get through the road. Moreover, he did not respond to Changfu City after the war. It is estimated that he will pick up Yancheng to supplement the military strength lost by Yancheng and Xiaoshangqiao in World War II. At this time, Wu Shu was scared. How brave Linying's army needs! Not only blocked the main road of the battalion commander's office, but also hit the headquarters of Yue Fei. After encountering setbacks, I also attacked Yingchang. " From morning till noon, this kind of fighting was far from being expected when Yue Jiajun attacked Yingchang and Chenzhou. Moreover, the Jin people's 120,000-strong army attacked Yancheng without dedication, and attacked Yingchang "15,000" and "more than 30,000", which was far from the siege situation when attacking Shunchang. In my opinion, it was the posture of destroying Yuegujun through repeated inducements. Yue Fei certainly won a considerable victory at this time, but he also paid a heavy price. Otherwise, why don't you even give up the achievements of winning the war and act quickly?
(3) Conclusion
The Records of the Years of Jianyan (volume 137) records: "Ren Xu was the day when Yue Fei, the envoy of Jingxi, Hubei Province, moved to Yancheng, and flew to Jingxi counties, so he was not allowed to go deep into the imperial edict. However, thinking that he couldn't stay when he asked for it, and fearing that the Jin people would invite him later, he declared that he would go deep into the army and catch the enemy far away before taking action. When the time comes, the sergeants will turn to the south, the flags will fly wildly, and when they look at them, their mouths will not close. For a long time, they said, isn't this heaven? When Jin people heard that Fei abandoned the battalion commander, they sent a rider to chase him. " This record, Li Xinchuan's various statements, is actually a recent historical record. Deng Guangming questioned Li Xinchuan's historical understanding of this matter, which is really not a trial. To sum up, Yue Fei's ten-year training in Shaoxing was a decision made to preserve the divisions under unfavorable military conditions. The statement in the history books that Emperor Gaozong forcibly divided classes is not credible.
affix
Historians have always had different opinions on Yue Fei's performance in Shaoxing for ten years. For example, Wang Zengyu said, "In short, although the Northern Expedition in Shaoxing 10 died prematurely, it was still the peak of Yue Fei's military achievements and an unprecedented victory record in the Southern Song Dynasty." This understanding is the representative of mainstream historians. Deng Guangming's judgment is more objective. He said in the biography of Yue Fei: "Although Yue Jiajun barely won several battles in Yancheng and Yingchang, he never ended in failure, but judging from the strategic point of view, this war is doomed to failure." Although he expounded the fact of "narrowly winning", he was bound by prejudice and never went deep into it. After reading the Biography of Yue Fei, Deng Guangming's greatest regret is that he always throws out "Qin Gui's theory of surrendering and betraying the country" as the most basic argument, so that some places that should be practical are shrouded in distinct political prejudice and lose the truth. Even so, Deng Guangming's keen vision, Gao Zhuo's insight and courage to explain objectively are admirable, and the principle of selecting historical materials discussed in the postscript chapter of Yue Fei Biography is enough to set an example for future generations. Wang Zengyu, also known as the master of the Song Dynasty, has a complete collection of historical materials in his book "Hubei Jinwan School Notes". However, due to the principle of maintaining Yue Fei's image, many places have expressed their opinions and played a role in helping York to repair it. Lv Simian said in the Vernacular History: "The Song Dynasty seems to have won this time. But Shunchang, Yancheng and Zongbi were defeated by underestimating their enemies. Before the rectification, it was not clear. Shaanxi is just deadlocked and has no victory. Persistence in the Song Dynasty is always unfavorable, which is very understandable before and after the general view. " Lu's research on the history of Song Dynasty is not as thorough as that of Deng Wang, but this passage about Shaoxing's military situation during the ten years of Song and Jin Dynasties is really appropriate.
Regarding the evaluation of Yue Fei, because my personal research is still shallow, I dare not talk nonsense. Ma Duanlin was quoted as saying: "The disciples of Zhang, Han, Liu and Yue ... are mostly to smooth the internal difficulties and appease the southeast ear; When it comes to nuzhen, it's either defeat or flight; Even if there is a small victory, it cannot be made up. " Among ZTE's four generals, Han and Yue made outstanding achievements, and Yue Fei was especially famous. In this case, Sun praised half the responsibility. In my opinion, there are at least three points in the exploits recorded in Chronicle of the King of Ewan. As York did, it is totally unacceptable to flatter one's ancestors by tampering, fabricating and misinterpreting historical materials. Of course, this comment is not to deny Yue Fei. Yue Fei was a famous soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty, with outstanding military exploits, but like other famous soldiers in history, he also had such shortcomings, which made him more real. Here are a few examples to illustrate.
"The Legend of the King of Yue" said: "An agent rode to report:' Sange, Han Chang and others set out to retreat to Bianjing." Hou wanted to catch up with the situation, so he applied to the court and said,' I heard that there was Han Xin in the Han Dynasty and Xiang Yu was beheaded; There are Zhuge in Shu, and the ancestors revived. Although I am incompetent, I am looking forward to it. Begging to go deep into the territory with your majesty and recapture old Xinjiang to repay the shame of the day before yesterday. I hope your majesty can examine my courage and show my loyalty. I will try my best to repay you, and so will my wish. "
Record of the First Year of Jianyan 137 said: "Ji You, the imperial secretary said,' I told Yue Fei yesterday that all generals should take care of the safety of the world and not reward more merits. He rewarded people with merits, which is what foot soldiers did. As for the court's treatment of generals, it is also polite. For example, at the beginning of the newspaper the day before yesterday, in addition to the general, the teacher's guarantee was added. Is it necessary to treat meritorious service? If you want to talk about meritorious service, you are a small official, so you should also talk about foot soldiers. "It's time to fly, so I'm trained."
Yue Fei's memorial recorded in the above-mentioned historical materials is not included in Ewan and Ewan sequel compiled by York. In this article, Yue Fei compares himself to Han Xin and Zhuge, which means comparing Gao Zong to Liu Bang and Liu Bei. From this point of view, Yue Fei's complacent mentality is completely revealed. Moreover, the comparison in the article is really inappropriate. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Han Xin made great contributions and died in rebellion. Zhuge Liang helped Liu Beicheng gain a firm foothold, and after his death, he took the National Government to assist his successor. Liu Bei ran around all his life, and only in his later years did he get the favor of Jingzhou Yizhou, and he died of defeat. Yue Fei compared the emperor to Liu Bei, but compared himself to Han Xin and Zhuge, which was a bit too proud and reckless. If Yue Fei is unfamiliar with history and misuses anecdotes, then what happened to Han Xin and Zhuge should be generally known to the world, regardless of their cleverness and stupidity. Besides, Yue Fei has a large number of aides who can rely on consultation. Why should he be so careless? In my opinion, it was Yue Fei who was in such a state of mind at that time, replacing the law with words, so he didn't think carefully when the military situation was unimpeded and the emperor was deeply dependent. After the memorial, the article also said: "I hope your majesty will examine the courage of the minister and show his loyalty." Judging from the connection with the last article, it is actually the language of asking for credit. After the Biography of Yue Hou, classical Chinese "shows that rage, avoiding Hou, often falls on the top". In fact, as far as the content of this memorial is concerned, even without Qin Gui's "The Summit", Emperor Gaozong must be unhappy when he read it, as evidenced by the second historical data.
The historical records in the second paragraph above are quoted from a passage on September 8, Shaoxing ten years, that is, Yue Fei moved his troops behind. Judging from what the minister heard, Emperor Gaozong's dissatisfaction was obvious. Not only did he want to be scolded by Yue Fei, but he also wanted to tell the minister about it as an example. Judging from the semantics of Emperor Gaozong, this is a rebuke to Yue Fei for not being "responsible for the security of the world" but "rewarding more merits". Combined with the content of Yue Fei's recitation in the last section, Emperor Gaozong's remarks are targeted. Later, it was mentioned that "except for generals, teachers must be guaranteed." Probably when Yue Fei met Emperor Gaozong, he compared the military merits of this war and thought that promotion should be measured by military merits, so Emperor Gaozong only talked about this matter.
There is such a passage in "Russian Wan Bian": "When I returned to Xiangyang, Minister Zhu Sheng ordered me to drink until the Japanese Festival, and my predecessor said in astonishment,' What has the Prime Minister done to me!' But the messenger thanked him and said,' In order to be good at saying goodbye to the Prime Minister, Yue Fei can speak righteously, but he can't be greedy. The battle of Xiangyang, so are you, so that this matter is unreasonable, will you sit idly by? The man who painted a city and gave it to the knight treated everyone, not the stone country. "If you build a festival, you will argue irrationally and have to accept it." York originally wanted to use this passage to prove that "generals are greedy for merit, and every time the first minister is rewarded, he needs to make a false statement, even six or seven sentences, but he refuses to accept it by mistake", but it gives people the impression that Yue Fei cares about merit, which is self-defeating.
The evaluation of Yue Fei varies from person to person. Look at the leopard in the tube. Those who have the will and perseverance can study it in depth. My humble opinion, if I don't make you laugh, that's enough!
