Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 193 Yue Fei is definitely a national hero, beyond doubt
Is Yue Fei good?
Of course great?

How good is Yue Fei?

What method can be used to prove that Yue Fei is great?
It's very simple, just look at what the history of the Jin Dynasty says.

…………

"Is Yue Fei good?"

Seeing this, Emperor Shihuang Yingzheng fell into thinking.

After hesitating for a moment, he said without hesitation:
"Although I haven't met Yue Fei, but from the history of the Song Dynasty, I estimate that Yue Fei must be very powerful."

"After all, Da Song is a bunch of softies, and Yue Fei's ability to beat Jin soldiers into fear of him shows that he is very powerful."

"As for whether it is a national hero or not, I have to watch the stocktaking video before I can say."

…………

When it comes to Yue Fei, it's actually better to look at it from the side.

From the perspective of other people, we can see Yue Fei's life.

First of all, it is the Qin gangster.

In later generations, Qin Yu was a notorious treacherous official.

After Qin Hui knelt down for 800 years, there are still many people complaining about his grievances.

They believe that it was because of the peace talks led by Qin Hui that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to survive for more than 150 years.

If there were no Qin gangsters, the Southern Song Dynasty might have perished long ago.

Therefore, in their eyes, Qin Hui has contributed to the country, not only should he not kneel down anymore, but also should reverse Qin Hui's case and reshape Qin Hui as a loyal minister.

In fact, as early as the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the overturning of Qin Hui's case began.

For example, Zhao Yi, who is known as the three major historians of the Qing Dynasty, is also the historian who recorded that Zhu Di punished Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, and Xu Da died of eating steamed goose.

In modern times, there are also people who believe that Qin Hui has made great achievements and the world scolds him to this day, it is really wronged.

So, is Qin Hui really being wronged?
Let's change the angle and look at how the Jin Dynasty recorded that period of history, and maybe we can see the truth from it.

Almost everyone knows that Qin Hui's two biggest crimes are the surrender-style Shaoxing peace negotiation, and the unjust murder of Yue Fei.

These two points are closely related to Yue Fei.

Jin Guo pointed out by name that the prerequisite for peace negotiation was to kill Yue Fei.

Therefore, if you want to know whether Qin Hui has been wronged, you have to look at the extent of Yue Fei's contribution in history, especially how the history of the Kingdom of Jin is recorded.

After Qin Hui gained power and his status soared, he crazily deleted and revised all kinds of materials during the Song and Jin wars, and all kinds of materials about the battle with Yue Fei.

It is also the so-called "everything that is a little bit close to oneself is easier to burn", or even the point where "a collection of books is burned".

The reason why he did this was to prove that what he did was correct.

In short, from the history of the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to see a more real and comprehensive Yue Fei.

Because many historical books about Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty were falsified.

However, if you take a rough look at the history of the Kingdom of Jin, you will also be in a dilemma, because the Kingdom of Jin is more ruthless than the Song Dynasty.

When recording history, it is even more common to hide defeat as victory.

Therefore, the fiasco in the history of the Kingdom of Jin is either understated or not mentioned at all.

From the history of the Kingdom of Jin, it is also difficult to know the real situation of Yue Fei.

Because of this, many articles in later generations questioned Yue Fei's military exploits, and even believed that Yue Fei's military exploits were fictional.

If Yue Fei had no military exploits to "fish for fame", then Qin Hui's "Shaoxing Negotiations" was a wise move to turn the tide.

Is it really the truth?You might as well read the history of Jin Kingdom carefully.

In the history of the Kingdom of Jin, Han Shizhong's battle against Jin Wushu's Huang Tiandang battle turned into "being chased seventy miles north by Jin Wushu" and "Shizhong can only escape himself".

Liu Kai, the famous general who broke the kidnapper from the back of the city, and Jin Guo "shielded + banned" this fiasco.

In short, dwarfing famous generals who resist gold is the basic style of the history of the Kingdom of Jin.

This is also very similar to the tampering of history by Japanese pirates in later generations.

For a generation of famous general Yue Fei, the history of the Kingdom of Jin did almost the same thing. If you simply read the history of the Kingdom of Jin and look at Yue Fei, you may have this feeling immediately.

Then Jin Guo's style may be: Yue Fei is weak, Yue Fei has lost many battles, and Yue Fei is vulnerable.

However, the history of the Kingdom of Jin still inadvertently revealed how powerful Yue Fei was.

During Song Ningzong's period, Prime Minister Han Tuozhou presided over the Kaixi Northern Expedition, but he did not expect Jin Guoce to turn against Wu Xi.

Wu Xi is the grandson of Wu Lin, an anti-golden hero, who later claimed to be the king of Shu and was suppressed in 41 days.

In the persuading letter to Wu Xi, people from the Kingdom of Jin said something like this: Qi Qing thinks that Yi Zan's contribution is better than Yue Fei's?Fei Zhi's prestige and military exploits are violent in the north and south. Once he sees jealousy, he will be punished by the three barbarians. Don't you be afraid?
Just look here, don't say anything else.

Simply saying that "Fei's fame and military exploits are fierce in the north and south" is enough to prove how powerful Yue Fei is.

And Qin Hui killed such Yue Fei and tampered with history, so he was undoubtedly a traitor.

In that era of war when gods were in urgent need of guards, Qin Hui destroyed the Great Wall by himself, and instead of unanimously killing the great hero Yue Fei who had made great contributions to the fight against gold, how could he be wronged?
Some people may say that Qin Hui did not kill Yue Fei, but Zhao Gou was the mastermind.

This sentence is tentatively correct.

But there is one thing to be clear, the negotiation between Song and Jin was brought about by Qin Hui.

After killing Yue Fei, Qin Yi got a copy of "Shaoxing Negotiating Peace", what value is it?

According to Jin History records, before Shaoxing negotiated a peace, Jin Wushu was very arrogant, claiming that if he did not negotiate a peace, he would continue to fight.

However, the "Zhengmengji" written by Li Dayang, a Jin man, revealed the truth, that is, Jin Wushu personally admitted that although the Jin soldiers had a small victory, they lost all their essence and their supplies were cut off. If the Song army crosses the river, it will be defeated without any attack."

Therefore, when the Southern Song Dynasty killed Yue Fei for no reason and sent the peace agreement, Jin Wushu looked up to the sky and lamented the magic of fate.

"If you can make a decision, no one can get back with one ride", and then boasted, "I use my wisdom for selfishness, but once I write a letter, I will win."

In other words, "Shaoxing Negotiations" is a peace agreement that made Jin Guo take advantage of it.

Judging from the above situation of Jin Wushu, before that, if Yue Fei did not die, if Yue Fei continued the Northern Expedition, it would really be possible to create a miracle.

It's a pity that Qin Hui didn't know whether it was Qin Hui's lack of guts, Qin Hui's betrayal, or a problem with vision. Although Yue Fei wanted to fight, Qin Hui refused, and instead framed him and missed a good opportunity.

An important premise of "Shaoxing Negotiating Peace" is to kill Yue Fei.

From this point of view, Qin Hui, who advocated peace talks, should be the real driving force behind Yue Fei's death.

Obviously, no matter from the perspective of Yue Fei, who has outstanding military exploits, or "Shaoxing Negotiations", Qin Hui knelt for 800 years, which is far from enough to atone for his crimes.

Especially before "Shaoxing Negotiating Peace", Jin Bing was obviously in a desperate situation, but finally with the help of Qin Hui, he "turned defeat into victory" and became the big winner in the peace negotiation, which is rare in ancient and modern times.

Throughout the history of peace talks, there are strategic peace talks, tactical peace talks, and surrender-style peace talks.

Objectively speaking, Qin Hui did not make a big mistake in advocating a peace negotiation, but the mistake was in the surrender-style peace negotiation.

That is, the Southern Song Dynasty abolished martial arts, killed the hero Yue Fei, gave up regaining lost land, and took the initiative to become a "vassal" of the Jin Kingdom.

More importantly, after the peace talks, Qin Hui didn't think about the issue of the Northern Expedition, but just wanted to be peaceful.

Therefore, saying that Qin Hui is a treacherous official did not wrong him at all, and he should kneel down all the time.

…………

"This Qin Hui is definitely a traitor!"

"His statue has only been kneeling for 800 years?"

"And someone in later generations will reverse the case for him, thinking that what he did was right?"

"I really don't understand, how can there be such a fool in this land of China?"

"Qin's bastard is in front of me, and I will give him thousands of ways to torture him."

After reading this, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was so angry.

Shouldn't such a treacherous minister be killed for betraying his country and heroes?
What are those who want to reverse the case for him?
…………

The projection of the sky continues.

Is Yue Fei a national hero?
Of course it is, without a doubt.

The family and country feelings of "serving the country with allegiance" represented by Yue Fei have already become the spiritual totem pursued by the contemporary Chinese people.

This kind of family and country feelings, this kind of heroic spirit of giving up the ego to achieve the greater self, has inspired countless Chinese sons and daughters to resist the Japanese pirates and other foreign forces at the critical moment of the life and death of the Chinese nation, creating an epic war spectacle.

From this point of view, it is an indisputable fact that Yue Fei is a hero of the Chinese nation!

As a label of Chinese culture, Yue Fei has already left a deep imprint in the hearts of the Chinese people.

His family and country feelings are the foundation of Huaxia's value system.

We must know that without the revival of Chinese culture, there will be no revival of the Chinese nation.

To realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must hold high the banner of Chinese culture.

Therefore, Huaxia must vigorously promote Yue Fei's patriotic spirit.

However, later generations do not know those so-called experts and scholars who gave them the power and responsibility to define national heroes. According to their definition of national heroes, Yue Fei is naturally not a national hero.

However, their definition of national heroes and criteria for judging them are inherently dubious and not worth refuting.

On the basis of the recognition of common historical facts by the sons and daughters of China, is the people or some experts and scholars more authoritative in judging a historical figure?

Just because the "Huaxia Nation" includes the Manchus who are descendants of the Jin people, it cannot be considered that Yue Fei is not a national hero of the entire Huaxia nation.

Nor can it be considered that Yue Fei cannot be a national hero of the Chinese nation just because the concept of "Huaxia nation" appeared late.

What was the nature of the Jin invasion at that time?
Their essence is the same as the Japanese pirates of later generations.

That is burning, killing and looting.

It's just that there is a difference between contemporary Manchus and Japanese pirates.

Those who fight against Japanese pirates are not considered national heroes?
Of course.

Therefore, Yue Fei, like them, should be regarded as a national hero of China.

The cornerstone of later historiography is to use new scientific methods to study past history. If new scientific methods are abandoned, then historical research will inevitably return to the traditional research on the genealogy of emperors and generals, and will still be lost in the fog of history. spinning around.

Mr. Jian Bozan, a famous historian of later generations, clearly pointed out that "many historical events, historical figures, and historical systems have obvious progressive effects in the rising period, so historical events and historical figures cannot be criticized at will, let alone for the sake of "national unity." "Deliberately concealing history as necessary."

If the heroes surrender and do not "undermine national unity", then the abolition of the Chinese Han nationality by the nomadic peoples who ruled the Central Plains may become a reality.

In this case, Chinese civilization will be gone.

Therefore, Yue Fei's contribution to the Chinese nation is that Yue Fei resisted the invasion of the Jin people, saved the more advanced civilization from being completely wiped out by the backward civilization, prevented the history of the entire Chinese nation from going backwards, and preserved the advanced social production mode and relatively advanced culture. Spiritual civilization and material culture have prevented backward civilization from "turning back the wheel of history" on the entire land of China, and bought time for the faster formation of the Chinese nation.

Master Ji Xianlin once said: "Some ethnic minorities who used to be hostile to the Han nationality in history have become part of the Chinese nation today.

Therefore, some people argue that some people who were praised as patriots back then should not emphasize this point again today, otherwise it will affect national unity.

In fact, this statement is completely untenable.

The superficial hostilities back then were actually problems between countries, not domestic conflicts.

This is a historical fact and must be admitted.

How can the problems of later generations be imposed on the contradictions between ancient China?
If this is the case, wouldn't the national heroes that everyone admires, such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, etc., be invalid?
Others say that Yue Fei is no longer considered a national hero, because the current understanding is that it was an internal war at that time, so the Qin gangster cannot be regarded as a traitor. Is it wrong for you to characterize others as a traitor?

However, history should be viewed from the perspective of his contemporaries. Yue Fei was just a general, not a prophet. How did he know that the Jin people would also become a member of the Huaxia clan in the future?
If not national heroes who fought against foreign invaders, what were they?
According to this goddamn logic, it would be better to call the Yellow Emperor a hero of the Yellow River.

In fact, Yue Fei has transformed from a person into a symbol.

A deeper meaning is that his family and country feelings have been sublimated into a kind of spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation.

One reason why Chinese civilization has not been interrupted is that the sons and daughters of China have never given up resistance.

You can let the children of Huaxia bow their heads temporarily, but you will not let the daughters of Huaxia bow their heads for generations.

It is this spiritual wealth of not admitting defeat that inspires all Chinese children to fight fiercely in the face of foreign invasion, so that conquerors have to be in awe of Chinese culture and voluntarily integrate into Chinese culture.

Although Qianlong was not a good emperor, he also expressed his views.

The plaque "Wei Lie Chun Zhong" inscribed by Qianlong on Yue Fei is still there today.

Emperor Qianlong admired Yue Fei's famous saying "Civil officials do not love money, military officials are not afraid of death", and personally wrote an inscription praising it as "a minister with two words is a teacher through the ages, and a soldier in a hundred battles is mighty for a while".

Qianlong even visited the Yuefei Temple in Hangzhou many times, and personally wrote "Yue Wu Mu Lun", which said that Fu Wu Mu is brave and invincible when he uses troops to control generals.

But if you have both civil and military skills, benevolence and wisdom, and loyalty, even famous generals in ancient times can't catch them.

Knowing that there is a king but not knowing that there is a body, knowing that there is a king's life but not cherishing his own life, knowing that the teacher must be constructed by Qin Hui, and the king's life is in his body, and he dare not hold power outside the border for a long time.

Alas!With the sincerity of the public, even though he died at the hands of Qin Hui, the future generations of the world will look up to the wind and force, and they can really compete with the sun and the moon.
