Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The Real Golden Wushu in History

At the turn of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, there were many wars. First, the shame of Jingkang, Kaifeng City was broken, and the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty became prisoners. Then the Jin Dynasty went south repeatedly. Wumen, and then the Southern Song army rose up to fight the war, and fought with the Jin army on the major battlefields of Jianghuai, Xiangfan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan.If you want to ask who among the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Dynasty in this period is the most well-known among modern people, there may be only one answer-Jin Wushu, the "Fourth Prince" of the Jin Dynasty.

Jin Wushu is the most well-known, and I am afraid it is bestowed by Yue Fei, the number one hero against Jin in the Southern Song Dynasty.In the storytelling, the prince of the Jin Dynasty had a good time, but most of the time he played the role of the unlucky guy, and was repeatedly beaten by the Yue family army.Among the comic strips about Yue Fei, the one that appears the most is the picture of Jin Wushu holding a sharp ax and being chased and killed by Yue Fei wielding the Yue family gun and running all over the ground.However, Jin Wushu had very good luck. He faced death many times, but every time he managed to save himself from danger.The ending of Pingshu turned out to be Lao Niu Gao who was killed by the Yue family's army tiger.As a lifelong opponent of Pingshu and Yue Fei, it also shows his popularity and influence on the battlefield at that time.

Then, what is the real Golden Wushu in history like? Jin Wushu, whose real name is Wanyan Zongbi, and the word "Jin Wushu" is more of a transliteration from the Jurchen language.The folk storytelling says he is the "Fourth Prince", which is true.He himself is the fourth son of Wanyan Aguda, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, but at the beginning of the Song-Jin War, he was not the main character, on the contrary, he was just a pony boy. Since he was a child, Jin Wushu has been strategizing and good at archery. He is a rare young seed with both wisdom and courage in the Jurchen tribe.He also went to the battlefield early, as early as when the Jurchen tribe rose up to resist the oppression of the Khitan and Liao kingdoms, he charged at the front line and served as the vanguard in many battles, with a lot of military exploits.At this stage, his greatest military achievement was to follow his uncle Wanyan Gao (Wanyan Aguda's younger brother) to hunt down the defeated Liao Tianzuo Emperor, the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom.That happened in 1124 AD. At that time, Emperor Liao Tianzuo gathered an army of 700,000 to fight the Jurchens, but was beaten by 50,000 Jurchens. Emperor Liao Tianzuo, who was wiped out, fled to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures in a hurry.Wan Yangao led the army to pursue it vigorously. When Emperor Liao Tianzuo fled from Liaodong, he still had tens of thousands of horses in his hands. Wanyan Gao and Jin Wushu only led thousands of cavalry to pursue them. Gao had the intention of returning to the army, but Jin Wushu quit, and persuaded his uncle: "The enemy is in chaos today, and this is a great opportunity to break it." Zhangbei County once again severely injured Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty. The desperate Emperor Tianzuo fled to Yingzhou and was eventually captured by the Jin army.After this battle, Wan Yangao, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was full of praise for his nephew. Jin Wushu's courageous use of troops and swift attack were also fully demonstrated in this battle.

Although he has made his mark, Jin Wushu is still a small character at this time, because there are three older brothers above him.In 1125 A.D., the Jin army, led by the second prince Wanyan Zongwang and the third prince Wanyan Zonghan, attacked the Northern Song Dynasty in two ways, and Jin Wushu was assigned to the second brother Wanyan Zongwang.The Jin army first attacked Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, broke through Gubeikou and entered the Central Plains.When Wanyan Zonghan was about to go south in a big way, Jin Wushu once again put forward the opposite opinion. He believed that the reinforcements of the Northern Song Dynasty would inevitably pass through Dingzhou to intercept and kill the Jin army.After careful consideration, Wanyan Zongwang adopted Jin Wushu's strategy.Sure enough, two days later, the reinforcements from the Northern Song Dynasty from Shandong arrived in Dingzhou and fell into the pockets of the Jin army. The 30,000 reinforcements were wiped out, and the threat to the east of the Jin soldiers disappeared.In the first month of 1126 A.D., the Jin army came to Huazhou, and Jin Wushu offered a suspicious strategy, that is, to beat drums on the north bank of Huazhou all night, not to let the Song army rest, and to launch an attack at dawn. The army was defeated across the board.It was night, the Jin army beat drums and shouted endlessly, and launched a strong attack after dawn, but was surprised: the 80,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry stationed in Huazhou in the Song Dynasty were so frightened that they fled all night under the sound of the drums. , and got this strong city as the gateway to Bianjing.The prosperous city of Bianjing is now close at hand.

And at this moment, Jin Jun finally ran into their first opponent since going south - Li Gang. After the Jin army arrived in Bianjing, the Northern Song court was in a panic. Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who had loved literature all his life, was frightened.Under Li Gang's insistence, the Northern Song Dynasty reorganized the city defense army and fought against the enemy with all its strength.The battle started. The Jin army, who was good at field battles, was battered in front of the strong city of Bianjing, unable to attack for a long time, and reinforcements from the Northern Song Dynasty also arrived continuously.Under the unfavorable situation, Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to negotiate peace with the Northern Song Dynasty, and after obtaining large areas of Hebei and Shanxi territories in the Northern Song Dynasty, he accepted it as soon as he saw it.In this peace negotiation, Kang Wang Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty was detained in Jinying as an envoy, and was released after the peace treaty was signed.

After the failure of the first attack on Bianjing, the Jin Dynasty had different opinions. Many people believed that the Central Plains was difficult to govern. They suggested that the Jin Dynasty should accept the peace as soon as it was good, accept the peace negotiation conditions of the Song Dynasty, and repair it with the Song Dynasty.But Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and other frontline generals firmly opposed it, and Jin Wushu was a resolute main fighter.The first time he went south, he saw through the reality of the Song Dynasty, and strongly said to Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng, "This is a real opportunity".In November 1126 AD, the Jin Dynasty once again launched a war to attack the Song Dynasty. Lu Dajun joined forces outside the city of Bianjing and broke through Bianjing in one fell swoop. The Supreme Emperor Song Huizong and the reigning Song Qinzong both became prisoners.This is the "Jingkang Change" that led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

When going south for the second time, Jin Wushu was still assigned to Wanyan Zongwang's operation and went through several battles.He began to command operations independently after the capture of Bianliang.Bianliang fell, and the Northern Song Dynasty can only be said to be "broken up" rather than "destroyed".At that time, the Jin Dynasty adopted the method of avoiding the real and attacking the false, bypassing the strong city on the road and going straight to Bianjing.The Northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty still had a strong military force, and most of the eastern provinces were in the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty. The task of Jin Wushu was to seize the eastern provinces of the Northern Song Dynasty.After the Jingkang Incident, Jin Wushu led 20,000 iron cavalry and marched eastward from Bianjing. He first blocked the 30,000 troops of the Northern Song Dynasty who had withdrawn from the south in the Battle of Qingzhou, and defeated them with a force of destruction. An ambush was set up at Jishui in the north, and when the Song Dynasty army was crossing the river, they suddenly launched a strong attack, forcing more than 20,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty to drown in the river.After these two battles, the troops in Shandong in the Northern Song Dynasty were almost wiped out, and Shandong fell into the hands of the Jin Dynasty.Then Jin Wushu marched northward again, capturing Daming Mansion and Guide Mansion one after another, taking down the whole of Hebei.These two battles were of great significance to the Jin Dynasty. If the provinces of Shandong and Hebei were still in the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty would have the power to attack the Jin Dynasty from the side.And Jin Wushu, who succeeded in fighting independently, also became a rising star in the Jin Dynasty.

At this time, fate once again favored Jin Wushu, and his second brother Wanyan Zongwang died of illness in June 1127 AD.Because of Jin Wushu's great achievements in pacifying Hebei and Shandong, the Jin Dynasty ordered Jin Wushu to take over the post of "Grand Marshal" from Wanyan Zongwang. Together with Wanyan Zongwang's nearly 100,000 Jin Dynasty elite troops, it was time to start , Jin Wushu truly became the main fighter of the Jin Dynasty. After the war between Song and Jin began, Jin Wushu's combat style can be described as "bold".When it comes to combat, they dare to fight any kind of battle, dare to charge even when there is a huge disparity in military strength, and dare to take on no matter how difficult a task is.After being alone, in 1129 A.D., Jin Wushu did another bold thing: hunt down Song Gaozong.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty had been established, and the Jin Dynasty did not want to give the Southern Song Dynasty the opportunity to rule the river. Before Song Gaozong's butt was hot, Jin Wushu came to kill him with all his teeth and claws.The Jin army first conquered Yangzhou, then went straight to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and entered the Jiangnan land where the water network is criss-crossed.It is said that the Jurchen army who is good at riding and shooting is not used to the hills, water, nets and paths in the south of the Yangtze River, but Jin Wushu's army is an exception.In October 1129 AD, Jin Wushu defeated the Song army in Hezhou, Anhui. The Song army retreated to Dulongling in the east, trying to rely on natural dangers to stop the Jin army. Unexpectedly, Jin Wushu ordered the soldiers to throw away all the horses and dismount. Fighting on foot, we entered through the small road, and unexpectedly surrounded the Song army who had set up an ambush in the mountain, encircling and annihilating them in one fell swoop.Then Guangde, Anji and other places also fell into the hands of Jin Wushu.In November, when Jin Wushu captured Lin'an, Song Gaozong fled in a hurry and crossed the Cao'e River in an attempt to deceive the Jin army without ships.But Jin Wushu was bold enough to build bamboo rafts locally and launch an attack at dawn. In just half an hour, all tens of thousands of troops crossed the Cao'e River.Chasing all the way to Mingzhou, Zhejiang, Song Gaozong had nowhere to escape on land. He gritted his teeth and ran to the sea by boat. The fleet resisted layer by layer, and finally blocked Jin Wushu's attack. Seeing that there was no hope of capturing Song Gaozong alive, Jin Wushu gave up.

This great pursuit that shocked the world in the early Southern Song Dynasty took only 5 months from Yangzhou to Mingzhou, Zhejiang.Although Zhao Gou successfully escaped, the Jurchens were still extremely proud. "Searching the mountains and searching the sea to catch Zhao Gou" became a masterpiece of Jin Wushu that shook the world. The reason why Jin Wushu is so powerful is because of his tenacious character, never admitting defeat, and his subordinates are also willing to follow.But unlike other Jurchen generals, this sturdy marshal is a "Sinicized" person.Every time he led his soldiers, he treated the local literati extremely preferentially. In particular, he captured many scholars to serve in the army. His main job was to read the content of the art of war in books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" for him. No matter how busy he was fighting, he would not miss studying. .Compared with his admiration for the Northern Song Dynasty's art of war, Jin Wushu despised the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army. He once said to his generals: "The southern army is like dogs."The fact is also the same. Wherever Jin Wushu went, the troops along the road were all invincible. Let alone defeating him, it was difficult to barely resist a few times.However, after this brilliant battle, Jin Wushu met the first thorn in his life——Han Shizhong.

On the Lantern Festival in 1130 AD, Jin Wushu, who had won a lot of money in the south of the Yangtze River, decided to withdraw to the north. Although the troops of the Southern Song Dynasty returned to aid one after another, most of the troops dared not confront him due to the powerful combat effectiveness of the Jin Wushu army. , only "gift" him out of the country.There are people who don't believe in evil, and Han Shizhong, the envoy of the Dingguo Army, is one of them. This person fought against Jin Wushu earlier. When Jin Wushu attacked Yangzhou, he was almost wiped out by Jin Wushu. When Jin Wushu withdrew this time, Zhenjiang was the only way to go. He was stationing troops in Zhenjiang , but what does it matter, you are defeated.But Jin Wushu didn't know that land warfare was only Han Shizhong's part-time job, and water warfare was Han Shizhong's real job.After Jin Wushu came to Zhenjiang, the Song army fled along the road one after another, but Han Shizhong swaggered on the warship with a high profile, and wanted to make an appointment with Jin Wushu for a decisive battle.On the day of the Lantern Festival, the battle started. Jin Wushu was very confident. He had 100,000 troops, while Han Shizhong only had 8,000. Would he have a chance of winning? But it was only after the war that Jin Wushu started to understand: the battle is not calculated in this way, the battle in the water is not fought by a large number of people, but by warships. Han Shizhong's navy is the most elite navy in the Southern Song Dynasty. Its warships are the largest, more than 60 meters long. They are all excellent warships that have experienced strong winds and waves at sea.The Jin Dynasty did not have shipbuilding technology at this time, and most of Jin Wushu's warships were small boats captured when chasing Song Gaozong.When the battle started, Jin Wushu was originally high-spirited and wanted to be brave again, but when he fought, he found that he couldn't even touch the side of the Song Army's warship, but barely made it. He wanted to forcefully board the Song Army's warship, but the height difference It made Jin Bing unable to jump up at all, but instead drowned in the river.Moreover, most of the soldiers of the Jin Army can't swim, and falling into the water is a dead end.After a great battle, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that the fight could not go on, Jin Wushu wanted to break out of the siege by force, but he couldn't escape.Han Shizhong connected the warships, but he didn't let you stand out, and the Jin soldiers who came to meet him from the north bank were also repelled.In desperation, Jin Wushu was defeated and retreated into Huang Tiandang, which was even more desperate to seek medical treatment - Huang Tiandang is a backwater port, there is no way out, and if the way in is blocked, it is a dead end. The dead-end Jin Wushu has been in Huang Tiandang for 48 days. During these 48 days, almost all tricks have been used. Sending money to Han Shizhong is no good, and surrendering is no good. Han Shizhong's attitude is very clear. Also, let's kill you before it's over.Seeing that he was going to be trapped to death, it was finally a road that never ends. A local failed scholar was bought by Jin Wushu and informed Jin Wushu overnight. There was a section of mud on the north side of the water port. The big ship ran aground when it arrived, and there was no other way.Based on this plan, the Jin army dug ditches overnight and finally managed to escape.Jin Wushu didn't give up. I was sleepy for 48 days. It's up to you to pay the price. Huo Gong took advantage of Han Shizhong's big ship running aground in pursuit, and the Jin army fired rockets, burning down many warships of Han Shizhong's navy.The harassment that ravaged the court of the Southern Song Dynasty for half a year, just like this "victorious" returned to the teacher. The battle of Huang Tiandang was the first defeat that Jin Wushu suffered in his career as a soldier. However, it was a water battle. After all, it was not the strength of Jurchen fighters. Jin Wushu was very confident. If he didn't fight in the water, I, Jin Wushu, would be the best in the world. unrivaled. If you don't fight in the water, there are still people who can cure him. Two years later, he will suffer a more disastrous defeat. After the battle of Huang Tiandang, Jin Wushu seemed to suffer from "hydrophobia".As the main combatant in the court of the Kingdom of Jin, he resolutely opposed the use of troops against Jiangnan. He believed that although the political center of the Southern Song Dynasty was in the south of the Yangtze River, the barrier was in the Sichuan-Shanxi area.Under his insistence, starting from 1130 AD, the Jin Dynasty focused its attack on the Southern Song Dynasty on the Sichuan-Shanxi area. During this period, his two ace troops--Iron Buddha Tu and Kidnap Horse--had become the most elite troops of the Jin Dynasty.These two armies were the leaders in China's land warfare at that time.Tiefutu is a heavy armored infantry, and only the bravest Jurchen fighters can enter this army. They are wearing heavy armor, and when they face the Song Army's defense line, they rush up desperately, completely breaking down the Song Army's defense.Kidnapper horses are heavy armored cavalry tied together with iron chains. When attacking, they are like tanks and cannot resist.With such a strong army in hand, Jin Wushu believes that he can defeat all opponents on land. In the autumn of 1130 AD, in order to seize the Sichuan-Shanxi Plain, the Jin Dynasty launched the Battle of Fuping against the Southern Song Dynasty.The Southern Song Dynasty attached great importance to this battle. The famous commander Zhang Jun took the command and assembled an army of 180,000 to defend to the death.The Jin army was jointly marched by Jin Wushu and Wanyan Zongfu. After the battle broke out, Zhang Jun decided to concentrate his forces and use his superior strength to eat Jin Wushu's army.For this reason, in Fuping, the Song Dynasty only left 20,000 troops to contain Yan Zongfu, and the other 180,000 troops surrounded Jin Wushu, and fought one after another.However, something unexpected happened: Jin Wushu's army was very powerful. The Song army attacked fiercely, but Jin Wushu's kidnapper horse launched a counter-charge instead. The battle lasted for more than 10 days, and Jin Wushu was heavily surrounded. However, they fought to the death and never retreated. With the chance of a stalemate, Jin Wushu's relentless fight finally bought time for the Jin army to counterattack.The Jin general Wanyan Loushi detoured behind the Song army and raided Zhao Zhe's troops. The Song army collapsed all at once. Jin Wushu took the opportunity to counterattack and beat the Song army into a panic. The entire territory of Shaanxi, Sichuan, which was originally the rear area, suddenly became the front line of the anti-golden war. Jin Wushu took advantage of the victory and pursued, preparing to take down Sichuan the following year. At this time, the Song Dynasty had only one stronghold in Shaanxi—Heshangyuan, Baoji, Shaanxi.Guarding Monk Yuan were the Song generals Wu Jie and Wu Lin who were defeated by Jin Wushu in the Battle of Fuping.Jin Wushu didn't care about being defeated again, but this time the situation is different.Fuping is a plain area, and it is easy to take advantage of the advantages of Iron Buddha Tu and Kidama, but Monk Yuan is a mountainous area with criss-crossing mountain roads, which is not conducive to the deployment of large troops.In the autumn of 1131 A.D., Jin Wushu launched a strong attack on the narrow mountain road, but this time he miscalculated. The easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Monk Yuan was just conducive to the Song army to take advantage of the strong crossbow. The narrow terrain allowed the charge There was no way for the Jin army to avoid it. After a full 4 days of hard fighting, the Jin army, which had been unable to attack for a long time, had to retreat.Wu Jie planted ambushes along the way again, and after some rushing and killing, the Jin soldiers were defeated.Jin Wushu suffered more than 2,000 casualties in this battle, which was the worst loss since the Jin army went south to attack the Song Dynasty.Even Jin Wushu himself "cut off his beard and discarded his robe" in embarrassment, shaved off his beard and disguised himself as a soldier, only to save his life. The defeat of Monk Yuan was a humiliating defeat for Jin Wushu. Unwilling, Jin Wushu committed a stubborn act and insisted on taking down Monk Yuan.In 1134 AD, after careful planning, Jin Wushu led his army around Heshangyuan, conquered Guzhen behind Heshangyuan, and then attacked from behind, taking the place where he suffered humiliation in one fell swoop.So far, the affluent Sichuan Basin has been displayed in front of Jin Wushu.But the elated Jin Wushu did not expect that this was not a harbinger of victory, but a prelude to a disastrous defeat. After conquering Monk Yuan, Jin Wushu's next goal is to capture the Immortal Pass, the gateway to Sichuan.This time, the opponents were the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin who the monk had humiliated him. Wu Jie camped and set up a fortress on the only way to Xianren Pass.After the battle started, Jin Wushu first concentrated his forces to attack, but was repelled by the Song army, and then divided into two groups, intending to attack the Song army back and forth, and once broke through the Song army's first line of defense.However, the Song army worked hard for many years, and the fortress was strong, and the Jin army was repelled many times.Jin Wushu attacked with fire again, but was extinguished by the Song army. There was a stalemate. Wu Jie concentrated his forces to counterattack, took advantage of the superior terrain to charge downward, and finally defeated Jin Wushu's troops.The death squad of the Song Army slashed with big axes. When the Jin Army retreated due to their heavy armor, they were blocked on the mountain road and hacked to death.In the end, the Jin army retreated in a hurry, and even the conquered monk Yuan had to surrender to the Song army. The failure of the Sichuan-Shanxi battlefield made the Jin Dynasty give up the idea of ​​​​taking Sichuan.However, the combat effectiveness of Jin Wushu's Tiefutu and Guaizima still shocked the Song Army.At the end of the Battle of Xianrenguan, Wu Jie wanted to concentrate his forces to besiege Jin Wushu, but Tie Futu of Jin Wushu fought desperately to protect Jin Wushu from tens of thousands of Song troops. In the previous battle of Fuping, the Song Dynasty An army five times larger than Jinwushu can't defeat Jinwushu either.Therefore, Jin Wushu believed that Song Jun would not be able to defeat him if it hadn't relied on natural dangers and superior numbers. Soon someone proved that it is possible to defeat Jin Wushu without relying on natural dangers and numbers. In the same year of the fiasco of Xianrenguan, the Jin Dynasty supported the Puppet Qi puppet regime in the Jingxiang area and occupied the six counties of Jingxiang, but was soon recovered by the famous Song Dynasty general Yue Fei.At the end of the year, Jin Wushu led his army to the south in an attempt to seize the important land of Jingxiang, and fought many fierce battles with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and the two sides won each other.Because Jin Taizong was critically ill, Jin Wushu withdrew his troops to the north. After Jin Taizong's death, Jin Xizong Wanyan Quan came to the throne. He was the eldest grandson of Wanyan Aguda, and as the "fourth uncle", the Jin Wushu continued to be reused.In the second year after Jin Xizong ascended the throne, Jin Wushu was promoted to be Marshal of the capital and King of Yue, becoming the highest military officer of the Jin Dynasty under Jin Xizong.Within the Jin Dynasty, he was a resolute main fighter. Later, he made accusations and killed the deputy marshal Wan Yanchang who had always been the leader of the Song Dynasty.In 1140 A.D., taking the opportunity of getting rid of Wan Yanchang, the Jin Dynasty tore up the agreement, took Jin Wushu as the commander, and divided into 4 armies to attack the Song Dynasty again, aiming directly at the Jianghuai defense area of ​​the Song Dynasty. This time the army marched smoothly at first. Jin Wushu successively defeated the Song army in Luoyang, Henan and other places, and soon the troops forced the gate of the Jianghuai defense line of the Song Dynasty - Shunchang, Anhui.Stationed in Shunchang is the famous general Liu Qi and his "Eight Character Army".Although there were only 40,000 people in Shunchang, facing Jin Wushu's 100,000 troops, the whole city was fighting against the enemy, and they insisted on resisting Jin Wushu's offensive.The two sides saw to the rainy season in June, and the heavy rain made it difficult for the golden army's horses to play their role. In desperation, Jin Wushu had to withdraw again.And Yue Fei, who guarded the six counties of Jingxiang, took the opportunity to make a big move and started the Song Army's counterattack against the Jin Army.Thus, the two most outstanding generals of Song and Jin at that time—Yue Fei and Jin Wushu—began the largest collision in their military careers. The collision between the two is the collision of the most outstanding generals. At this time, both of them are in charge of the most elite field troops of their respective dynasties. Jin Wushu has the Kidnapper Horse and Iron Buddha, and Yue Fei has the Yue Family Army.Regarding Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, historians have long recorded the strength of their fighting power.But the reason for being strong is mostly because of strict discipline, strict management, and most of the soldiers come from northern refugees.In fact, the most important feature of the Yue Family Army is its advanced tactics.During the battle between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, the troops most feared by the Song Dynasty in the field battle were Jin Wushu's Iron Buddha and Kidnap Horse.In the past, the Song army defeated Jin Wushu either through city defense battles, or by occupying the mountains and natural dangers, or through water warfare. The strength of the army.Tiefutu's heavy armored infantry has good defense, strong combat effectiveness, and is not afraid of bows and crossbows, while the kidnapper horse has exerted the power of the collective impact of war horses, charging up and overwhelming the mountains. The Song army used to be good at riding with infantry, but for such troops , but there has been no good way. Even in the battle between Heshangyuan and Xianrenguan, which have obvious geographical advantages, they can only be repulsed rather than eliminated in an organized way.But at this time, the nemesis of Tie Futu and Kidnap Horse appeared - Yue Jiajun.The Yue Family Army's unique tactics will give Jin Wushu a fatal blow. In June 1140 AD, the Song army counterattacked across the board. Yue Fei's troops entered Henan from Hubei.History is such a reincarnation. In the Battle of Monk Yuan, the Song Army decided to concentrate on eating Jinwushu, but was defeated by Jinwushu. This time, the same fate cycled to Jinwushu. In August 1140 AD, Yue Fei entered Yancheng, Henan.At this time, the Yue family's army had captured Yingchang, Huaining, and Zhengzhou in Henan, and their troops were approaching the old capital Bianjing.In order to attract Jin Wushu to come, Yue Fei deliberately showed weakness and stationed in Yancheng with only a small number of troops.After arriving at the battlefield, it was discovered that the Yue family army was already in full battle.In this battle, there is no fortified city defense, no natural danger and geographical advantage, no advantage of the navy, everyone is fair, let's fight. Jin Wushu first launched an attack. According to Jin Wushu's usual war script, the Song army formed an array, the kidnapper Ma Chong, the Song army's infantry phalanx collapsed, and the Jin army chased and killed them.It seemed to be the same at the beginning this time, the Yue Family Army was arranged in a loose infantry line, much looser than the Song Army that Jin Wushu had seen before, is this really the Yue Family Army that is harder than a mountain?let's hit! A group of 3 kidnapped horses began to charge, the rumbling momentum shook the ground, Jin Wushu was waiting, waiting to see the familiar scene, breaking the formation, chasing and killing, victory! However, the Yue family army began to change formation. When the kidnapper approached, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The opponent's infantry was also a three-man combat team!After a brief rain of arrows, the spear came up first, and the hula la knocked down a piece.This is not surprising, the Song army used to do the same thing, but after stabbing the front row, the cavalry behind rushed up, and you still couldn't stop it. He chopped off Tiefutu's horse's leg in a hurry, and then it fell down again, followed by a long sword soldier, using a saber specially designed for chopping up horses.Jin Wushu is dizzy. What kind of tactics is this? A seemingly loose group is actually a three-person combat team. First stab with a spear, then chop with an axe, and then chop with a big knife. On the ground, even though he understood his tricks, he still couldn't stop them.With such seamless cooperation, the kidnappers who swept across the Central Plains suffered a devastating blow for the first time, and thousands of people were killed within a short time after the war started. Then withdraw, no matter how awesome you are, you are also infantry, can you outrun cavalry?But Jin Wushu suddenly thought of a question: That's right, doesn't Yue Fei also have cavalry? At this time, Yue Fei's cavalry came and outflanked the Jin army from both sides. The reason why the cavalry of the Yue family army is strong is that they have strong combat effectiveness and their arms are completely different from the Jin army.The Jin army is heavy cavalry, the Yue family army is light cavalry, the infantry of the Yue family army is used for frontal defense, and the role of the cavalry is to outflank and divide and encircle. Well-crafted, it has a range of up to 180 meters and can penetrate heavy armor.The swordsmanship of the cavalry of the Yue Family Army is also a feature. When fighting, they mainly cut two parts: the neck and the waist and abdomen, which are the joints of the armor of the Golden Army cavalry. In this way, Jin Wushu tasted what it was like to be pressed and beaten.If Jin Wushu's army is a sturdy heavyweight boxer, then the Yue family's army is a lightweight master with agility and profound internal strength.With a small fight, Jin Wushu's army has become a behemoth being teased, panting without speaking, and looking at their lives in danger. The battle lasted from morning to evening, and the fierce Jurchen cavalry finally fell in front of the iron will of the Yue family army. They were enlisted, and 6,000 of Jin Wushu's 15,000 kidnapped horses died in battle, and the ace troops were almost crippled. . But Jin Wushu did not admit defeat.Not long after the Yancheng War, another 120,000 troops were concentrated to attack Yingchang, which was occupied by the Yue family army. This time he brought another ace troop, Tiefutu.This battle is not so much a decisive battle as an encounter.When the Jin army approached Yingchang, it happened to meet Yang Zaixing, the Yue family army who was patrolling the Xiaoshang River outside Yingchang.Yang Zaixing, with only 300 cavalry, did not flinch. Instead, he bravely swung his sword and charged left and right in the Jin army formation.It is worth mentioning that Yang Zaixing did not fight to break through the siege. On the contrary, determined to die, he took the initiative to launch a counter-charge against Jin Wushu, and even broke into Jin Wushu's central army. The soldiers shot and killed with random arrows.After the war, the Song army buried the body of General Yang, and the arrowheads pulled out from his body weighed two catties.Turning grief into strength, the Yue Family Army and Jin Wushu fought in Yingchang.In this battle, Jin Wushu used the Iron Buddha to charge. Previously, you Yue Fei used infantry to defeat my cavalry. This time, let's see if your infantry can defeat my Iron Buddha. But Yue Fei gave Jin Wushu the right answer, you use infantry, then I use cavalry.Yue Fei's adopted son, Yue Yun, was dispatched. He led 300 Yue Fei's elite cavalry: Beiwei cavalry.This is a kind of cavalry with heavy swords and axes on their backs. When they encounter an iron pagoda, they will take advantage of their speed, draw out their ax and slash down from a height, or just chop at the joint between your helmet and your body. The head of the Iron Buddha flew across.The infantry of the Yue Family Army took the opportunity to launch a countercharge. As a result, the Jin Army was defeated again.Jin Wushu's son-in-law Xia Jinwu and his deputy commander Nian Han were all killed in this battle.In the two previous battles, Jin Wushu suffered tens of thousands of casualties. In the PK with the Yue family army, it can be said that he lost completely. After the two battles, Jin Wushu was completely beaten out of "mountain phobia", and Yue Fei took advantage of the situation to occupy Zhuxian Town, which is only 50 miles away from Bianjing.After this great war, the Central Plains area was raging, and rebels from all walks of life rose up everywhere. Seeing that the Jin Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains was about to come to an end, Yue Fei also uttered the rhetoric of "go straight to the Yellow Dragon".Jin Wushu himself once wanted to give up Bianjing and withdraw northward.But God did not bless the Song Dynasty. Song Gaozong Zhao Gou chose to make peace with the Jin Dynasty because he was afraid that Yue Fei would not be able to control it after he made great achievements.The Yue family army who won a big victory was ordered to be a teacher in the Southern Song Dynasty. Jin Wushu, who had been fighting hard all the time, also realized after this big defeat and became a full-fledged peacemaker.In the spring of 1141 A.D., Song and Jin reached a peace agreement in Shaoxing, and the Southern Song Dynasty proclaimed their ministers to the Jin Dynasty and sent New Year coins.Another Wu Jie, who had severely damaged Jin Wushu, was ordered by the Southern Song Dynasty government to withdraw troops by Jin Wushu through exerting diplomatic pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty.Jin Wushu got everything he couldn't get on the battlefield at the negotiating table. As a famous marshal who fought with the Southern Song Dynasty for a lifetime, and also a die-hard main fighter in the Jin Dynasty, Jin Wushu naturally had a sworn feud with the Southern Song Dynasty, but in fact, within the Jin Dynasty, Jin Wushu was a " Sinicization School". Jin Wushu is a very hardworking person. When he was marching and fighting in the early years, he was interested in the military books of the Han people. Wherever he went, he was very respectful to the scholars.There are also many Han counselors gathered around him.Moreover, he himself is also eager to learn. At first, he didn't know a single big character, but when he became the Marshal of the capital, he was very proficient in Chinese and Chinese characters. When Jin Taizong died in 1135 AD, the Jin Dynasty was actually in a difficult period.Jin Xizong, who came to the throne, was a young man who was educated by Han culture. In the early days, most of the power was in the hands of Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongpan.These three people advocated peace talks with the Southern Song Dynasty, but at the same time they also advocated the continuation of the backward Jurchen old system in the ruling area, such as depriving the land and turning the people into serfs.As the emperor's uncle, Jin Wushu stood firmly on the side of Jin Xizong. With military power in his hand, he helped Jin Xizong get rid of the three "Peacemakers", and since then he has monopolized power. , and do business with him.”In the years when Jin Wushu took power, apart from being beaten by Yue Fei twice and achieving the "Shaoxing Peace Discussion" that made the Southern Song Dynasty a minister, Jin Wushu's greatest contribution was to reform the official system of the Jin Kingdom and establish The feudal bureaucratic system brought the military power of the country under the control of the central government and weakened the power of the clan.In particular, he abolished the "Bo Lie System" in which state affairs were voted on by the royal families of various ministries, ensuring the absolute authority of the subsequent Jin Dynasty emperors.In the process of feudalization in the Jin Dynasty, he was a pivotal figure. After the signing of the Shaoxing peace agreement, Jin Wushu has "entered the grand master, ordered the three provinces, and is the marshal".Being both the prime minister and the generalissimo, he was the figure with the most power in the Jin Dynasty at this time.At the same time, he also studied "National History".It is especially worth mentioning that when Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei, he ordered the historian to delete most of Yue Fei's military exploit records.Later, when Song Xiaozong rehabilitated Yue Fei, the historians of the Southern Song Dynasty could only find scarce information. The detailed information about Yue Fei's meritorious deeds was provided from Jin Wushuxiu's "National History".Although Jin Wushu suffered the most humiliating defeat in his life in front of Yue Fei, he still expressed his respect for this hero in this special way.
