Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Qin Hui’s Descendants Are Anti-Golden Heroes

Almost every Chinese knows that Qin Hui was a treacherous official who advocated seeking peace from the Jin people, and was the executioner who killed the famous anti-Jin general Yue Fei. "Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge" written by Zhou Mi, a survivor of the Southern Song Dynasty and a famous poet, tells people this tragic past event that reflects the raging fire and is soaked in blood. It is said that in the tenth year of Ningzong Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers invaded the south again, and the court and the opposition in the Southern Song Dynasty were in chaos.

Zhao Kuo, Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, saw that all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty looked like ants on a hot pot, circling around but unable to do anything, Longyan couldn't help being furious: "When the country is in crisis, why is no one responsible for the country?" At this time, the old general Zhao Fang stood up. He didn't want to go to the battle to be "Old Huang Zhong" in person, but recommended a person to the emperor: "Qin Ju is in his prime, has both civil and military skills, and is eager to serve the country. He can be a great leader." .”

As soon as this theory came out, some people objected immediately. The opponent's point of view is: "Qin Ju is the great-grandson of the great traitor Qin Hui. Zhao Fang did not give up his opinion, and refuted the opposition: "Everyone has their own minds, and they have different minds. Can An Neng look at his ancestors to control his successors?" The ultimate decision-making power is naturally in the hands of the supreme ruler, the emperor. Song Ningzong used his brains and came up with an unbiased compromise method-to satisfy Qin Ju's wish and let him go to the front to make contributions to the country, but only arranged for him lower official position.

Qin Ju's specific position is Qizhou (in today's eastern Hubei). Qin Ju, who is full of enthusiasm, eager to serve the country, and determined to wash away the shame of the Qin family, did not refuse because of his inferior position. Lead the whole family to set off and rush to the office. As soon as Qin Ju arrived in Qizhou, he actively engaged in combat preparations. He worked closely with the prefect Li Chengzhi to mobilize the army and the people to repair the fortifications and prepare for the enemy. In 1221 A.D., one hundred thousand gold soldiers went south to Qizhou. Qin Ju and Li Chengzhi decided to defend Qizhou together and live and die with the city.

What's ridiculous is that when the leader of Jin Bing heard that the guards were descendants of Qin Hui, he excitedly sent someone to persuade him to surrender.As everyone knows, Qin Ju and his ancestor Qin Hui took two completely different paths. As a result, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin had his head cut off by the enraged Qin Ju as soon as he expressed his intention. Qin Ju once again demonstrated his firm attitude of swearing to the death to resist the aggression of the Jin people with his own actions. Unfortunately, the strength of the enemy and ourselves was very outnumbered, and Qizhou City was eventually captured by the Jin soldiers.

When the city was broken, both Qin Ju and Zhizhou Li Chengzhi chose the life destination of killing themselves for benevolence and sacrificing their lives for righteousness according to the original agreement-Li Chengzhi committed suicide with his family and died for the country. , leaving a tragic, heroic and soul-stirring scene in the history of the Anti-golden War...
