Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 198 Inventory of Ten Tragic Characters, Jiang Wei Appears

Regarding Yue Fei, people at all levels have different evaluations.

The result of the evaluation is related to a person's level of thinking. Of course, dirty people will judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, and people who affirm righteousness will of course respect Yue Fei.

To evaluate Yue Fei, from the perspective of combat performance alone, Yue Fei is good at strategy and strict in running the army. His army is famous for "not demolishing houses to death from freezing, and not taking captives to death from starvation".

During his military career, he personally took part in commanding more than 120 battles without a single defeat, and he is a veritable victorious general.

Yue Fei has no special military works left behind, but his military thoughts and strategies for governing the army can be found scattered in books, memorials, poems, etc.

Everyone should know: culture is not necessarily true!

Cultural symbols are often fictional.

There are no ghosts and gods in this world, there is no White Snake, and it is impossible for Xu Xian to mate with a white snake to give birth to a Wenquxing.

"Yue Fei" is the same.

For example, many historians have repeatedly pointed out: "Man Jianghong" was not written by Yue Fei.

But it doesn't matter, it's culture!

Culture is the abstraction of reality and the common imagination based on abstraction. Culture can be higher than reality, and often is higher than reality.

According to the fiction given by the original traditional culture, Yue Fei is of course a national hero. Let me repeat here, is Yue Fei really a national hero? Is Qin Hui really bad and should kneel in the Yuewang Temple for hundreds of thousands of years?

It does not matter.

The point is that Yue Fei is a cultural symbol, representing a kind of "cultural person". As long as you believe that Yue Fei is a national hero, you have recognized this traditional culture.

National heroes generally refer to those who safeguard the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty, safeguard national security, safeguard the interests of the people and national dignity, and sacrifice their lives and make outstanding contributions in the war against aggression.

National heroes can be divided into narrow sense and broad sense. In the narrow sense, it refers to a person who has made outstanding contributions to a nation's struggle against foreign national aggression and oppression. This is not limited by any nation, region, or time.

In a broad sense, a national hero refers to a person who has made outstanding contributions to the development and prosperity of the nation in a period of peace and change.

This is generally defined in a narrow sense.

From the above records, we can see that Yue Fei is undoubtedly a famous general in the fight against gold.

But it is ridiculous to describe Yue Fei's fight against the gold as "a fight between his own brothers" and "Yue Fei's fight against the gold is a civil war among the Chinese people".

What's more, someone proposed a clever compromise: Yue Fei is a "hero of the Han nation", not a "hero of China".

It is based on this logic that it is ridiculous to rank Jin Wushu and his mortal enemy Yue Fei as national heroes.
A nation without heroes is a sad state of slaves, and a nation with heroes but no respect is a group of hopeless creatures.

We have never lacked people who work hard, those who work hard, those who plead for the people, and those who sacrifice their lives to seek the law.
These people represent the spiritual integrity of the Chinese nation. If these people are not considered national heroes, then are Qin Hui, Wu Sangui and others national heroes?

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin was not yet the territory of China, and the people of Jin were not members of the Chinese nation.

Even if we wishfully say that the Jin people are Chinese women, I am afraid that the Jin people at that time would not admit it.

To a certain extent, they are more willing to think that the Han people are the representatives of the inferior people of the lower races, and they are unwilling to be compared with the Han people.

Then we say that Yue Fei is a national hero. He replaced the Han people against the Jurchens at that time to ensure that the Han people were not exterminated and that the Han culture was passed on.

This view is reliable and correct.

Just because the Northeast Changbai Mountain area, the home of the Jin people, is now the territory of China, and the Jurchens Manchus have become a member of the Chinese nation, we cannot deny the history of that year.

Yue Fei is a person with lofty patriotic spirit and national integrity. Yue Fei fought unyieldingly for the rest of his life, and until his last breath, he still fulfilled his oath of "serving the country with loyalty". He should be called a national hero of course.

…………

"that's right!"

"No matter what the future holds, national integration is fine, but at that time, the Jin Kingdom and the Han people were real enemies. The Jin people wanted to build their own empire and destroy the territory where the Han people were. The appearance of Yue Fei undoubtedly It is to stop this kind of behavior, so it goes without saying that Yue Fei is patriotic."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin was filled with righteous indignation.

He was very angry with those who discredited Li Shimin.

Although he has never met this patriotic general, he can feel Yue Fei's passionate patriotism from the lines.

"I want to build a temple for him!"

Li Shimin made such a decision in his heart.

…………

"That's right, it's unrealistic to say that the Song-Jin war was a civil war just because the Jin people became a member of China in later generations."

"If you follow this logic, if the Japanese pirates are absorbed by Chinese culture one day, is it also said that the Japanese pirate invasion is an internal struggle? This is pure nonsense."

"I don't care, Yue Fei! God forever!"

…………

Take stock of China's top ten marshals.

This is the end of the inventory.

Now release Yue Fei's reward.

Yue Fei, devoted himself to serving the country, devoted himself to the great cause of his family and country, and died, should be remembered by everyone.

Yue Fei's reward is to transform into the cultural spirit of the sons and daughters of China, which will last forever and shine on future generations.

…………

"This is good!"

"This reward is different from ordinary material rewards. It is very necessary for him to make other people remember Yue Fei and the spiritual connotation of the children of China."

"Yes, material things are easy to change, but spiritual things are not easy to change."

"Changing the spirit can change everything about a person."

…………

After the famous coach video column ended, Lin Zhou was thinking about the follow-up video inventory at home.

"I originally planned to take stock of names, but I feel that I am not ready yet."

"In this case……"

Lin Zhou rubbed his hands, thinking about the follow-up.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

Suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Since the name and appearance are not ready yet, how about a tragic character inventory?"

"China has a long history of thousands of years, and all kinds of characters are like landscape paintings, forming a wonderful world."

"And those tragic figures are not in the minority."

The more Lin Zhou thought about it, the more he felt that this series was good, so he immediately prepared to make this video.

…………

Everything is going smooth.

After a few hours, Lin Zhou had already completed half of the work.

"Top ten tragic figures in history, just this one, this one is good!"

Lin Zhou checked it carefully and started uploading.

"Inventory of China's top ten tragic figures."

"he came."

…………

At the same time, civil servants in various parallel worlds waited impatiently for Lin Zhou's new video.

"I don't know if there will be an inventory video about our literati this time. I really look forward to it."

"Yes, the top ten talents are not bad, and the top ten prime ministers are not bad either."

"Go to your prime minister, I don't have a prime minister in Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be a disadvantage?"

"Huh? There is no prime minister in Ming Dynasty? Is there such a thing?"

"Couldn't it be Zhu Yuanzhang who canceled it?"

"That's right, besides Zhu Yuanzhang, who would dare to issue such an order?"

…………

Just as everyone was discussing, the projection on the sky changed again.

"This time the inventory video is an inventory of the top ten tragic figures in China."

"Please look forward to."

People from all parallel worlds were taken aback when they heard this.

"A tragic figure?"

"It's interesting, is this worse than anyone else?"

"Compared to misery? Who can be as miserable as me, my parents are both dead, and I have financial difficulties."

"You? You can't, you're not miserable enough. Look at me. Not only are my parents dead, but all my relatives are dead. There is only one brother left, but the younger brother is demented. He raised a dog and was stolen. Two days ago I broke my leg and my house was washed away by the flood, who can suffer like me?"

"... You, no one is worse than you."

…………

Soon, the sky changed again.

In the 5000 years of the magnificent China, heroes have emerged in large numbers.

But there is also a group of such people. Although they are also extraordinary figures and have left many precious things, due to various reasons, they ended up being heroes in the end, leaving endless sighs for future generations.

They are the tragic figures of China.

In the history of China, there is always a tragic moment that can deeply affect you, and there is always a tragic hero who can deeply touch you.

Now, let us walk into history and take stock of the top ten tragic figures in Chinese history and the stories behind them.

Inventory of China's top ten tragic figures.

The person on the list-Jiang Wei.

The dynasty it belonged to—the Kingdom of Shu during the Three Kingdoms Period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

…………

"???"

"Jiang Wei?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Who is Jiang Wei?"

Cao Cao was a little puzzled when he saw this.

What tragic characters can there be in the Kingdom of Shu?

…………

Jiang Wei is also a character.

He lost his father when he was young, lived with his widowed mother, and liked Zheng Xuan's Confucian classics.

He served as the chief planner of the county, and the state recruited him to work for the state.

Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Jiong, was a meritorious officer in Tianshui County. When the Qiang and Rong rebelled, Jiang Wei stood up to protect the county guard and died on the battlefield. Therefore, Jiang Wei was granted the title of Zhonglang, and Tianshui County joined the army.

In the sixth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han, left Qishan. At that time, Jiang Wei, Cao Liangxu, Yin Shang, Liang Qian and others from Tianshui prefect Ma Zun inspected various places. Ma Zun learned that the Shu Han army was coming, and all counties responded to the Shu The army suspected that Jiang Wei and others had different intentions, so he abandoned Jiang Wei and others, and fled to Shangbi overnight with Guo Huai.

Jiang Wei and others couldn't catch up, and when they returned to the city, the city gate was closed, so they led their troops to Ji County, but Ji County didn't let Jiang Wei enter the city. Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang, why didn't he do it anyway?

In the sixth year of Jianxing in the Shu Han Dynasty, in [-] A.D., taking advantage of the new funeral of Cao Pi and the instability in Luoyang, Zhuge Liang, the actual ruler of the Shu Han Dynasty, gave Liu Chan a copy of the "List of Teachers", then rectified the three armies, sent troops to the north, and left Hanzhong. Enter Qishan, in order to restore the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty.

For the Shu Han, this Northern Expedition did not achieve much of the expected results. For Cao Wei, it caused shocks in Guanzhong and panic in Luoyang. military pressure.

Originally, Shu Han, who might be able to take Guanzhong in one fell swoop, lost the most likely success.

Many subsequent Northern Expeditions were unable to cause panic to Cao Wei, just like a superficial touch.

Even so, it is not nothing for the Shu Han, because this time there are at least three gains.

The Sun-Liu alliance was restored, yes, the relationship that broke up after Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou was temporarily reconciled, and more than a thousand households in Baxi County entered Hanzhong, enriching the population of Yizhou.

Then he got Jiang Wei, an important military official of the Shu Han, until the death of the Shu Han.

Regarding the surrender of Jiang Wei, it was considered unintentional.

It can also be said to be a blessing in misfortune.

For reference, the Shu Han has no heavyweight military talents since then, or it is a kind of compensation.

Many people have doubts, thinking that since Jiang Wei had no choice but to surrender to Zhuge Liang, why did he devote allegiance to Shu Han and even made enemies with Wei many times.

Why he didn't return to the state of Wei? This question must be analyzed from the reasons for Jiang Wei's surrender and the background when he surrendered.

Why did Jiang Wei surrender to Zhuge Liang?

In the sixth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, Cao Wei and Longyou counties responded and surrendered without a fight. At that time, Jiang Wei, who was in charge of Tianshui County and participated in the military affairs of this county, followed Ma Zun, the prefect at that time, to go out for inspection. As a result, the Han army kept secret. Well done, the troops have been approaching the city, the three counties surrendered, and the prefect Ma Zun only heard the news. The prefect quickly made a decision:

In the sixth year of Jianxing, the prime minister Zhuge Liang's army marched towards Qishan, and the prefect of Tianshui came out to investigate.

Wei Ji Gong Cao Liang Xu, Master Book Yin Shang, Chief Recorder Liang Qian and others followed.

The prefect heard that the Shu army was coming and the counties responded. Suspected Wei and others had different ideas, so he died at night to protect Shangyu.

Wei waited for Jue Taishou to go, chased him late, and arrived at the city gate, which was closed and refused to accept.

Dimensions and other phases are also expected, and Ji is not included in Dimensions.

Wei and others are all attainments to Zhuge Liang.

A simple summary is that after Zhuge Liang arrived at Qishan, the Tianshui prefect who was inspecting work outside suspected that Jiang Wei had a different heart, so he left Jiang Wei and others, and ran back to Shangbi overnight.

But Jiang Wei and others found that the prefect had run away, and immediately chased after him.

But the prefects who ran into the city closed the city gates to prevent them from entering the city, and they ran to Ji County again, not wanting them either.

So, desperate, they had no choice but to voluntarily surrender to Zhuge Liang.

Here is an important point: the prefect heard that the Shu army was approaching and the counties responded. Suspect Wei and others had different ideas, so he died at night to protect Shangyu.

That is to say, when Zhuge Liang's army came under pressure, the prefect first suspected that Jiang Wei had a different intention, so he threw him away.

What is this alienation?
Zhuge Liang gave the answer: "Jiang Boyue is loyal to current affairs and considers carefully. He is also a sergeant in Liangzhou. This man has the Han family and his talents are both human. He has taught military affairs. He will be sent to the palace to meet the Lord. .”

The four characters of keeping the Han Dynasty in mind were the main reason why the prefect Ma Zun threw away Jiang Wei at that time.

It was Jiang Wei's usual words and deeds that more or less missed the Han Dynasty that he was tabooed by Ma Zun.

This reflects an important question from the side:

Although Cao Pi had usurped the Han for several years, some people in Liangzhou still had the Han family in their hearts and did not have much affection for Wei. So when Zhuge Liang's army arrived, the counties responded. What Ma Zun feared was the power behind Jiang Wei who thought of Han, not Jiang Wei.
