Life of the characters

The late Ming Dynasty

When Jin Sheng was 11 years old, he joined his father in Jiayu County, Hubei Province. In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he was a Jinshi and an imperial scholar. In the following year, when the court called for the right time, he was highly praised by Emperor Chongzhen for his Tingshi CE, and was promoted to the rank of censor and supervisor of the army. When the Qing army first invaded Beijing, Jin Sheng wrote a letter suggesting that the enemy should be defeated. However, it was not accepted. He resigned and returned to his hometown after taking care of illness. He gathered all the villagers to practice shooting in Fengshan area in the west of the city and taught in huangu Academy. Xu Guangqi recommended him to study the almanac, but he insisted on it. When the Hongguang Dynasty was established, he was appointed as the censor of Zuojin capital, but he was not accepted.

Jixi anti Qing

When the Qing army captured Nanjing, Jinsheng's fellow student Jiang Tianyi (from Shexian County, Huizhou) led the people to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Huizhou. In that year, Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, became emperor in Fuzhou, and appointed him as the right servant of the Ministry of war and the right censor of the capital of the Imperial Academy. With the slogan of "those who kill the prisoners will prosper and those who surrender the prisoners will perish", Jinsheng made a great impact on the governor's various volunteer armies, including kejingde, Ningguo, Xuancheng and Jingxian. In August of the first year of Longwu (1645), the Qing army besieged Huizhou in three ways. He and Jiang Tianyi relied on the dangerous pass of Congshan pass to defend Jixi. The Qing army could not attack Huizhou for a long time. The traitor Huang Shu disguised himself as a bundle of hair and clothes, pretending to lead soldiers to help. Jin Sheng can't check carefully, so let him enter the pass. The Qing army took advantage of the opportunity to cooperate inside and outside, occupied Jixi, and Jin Sheng was defeated and captured. When Jinsheng was about to catch him, Jiang Tianyi followed him. Jinsheng said, "if you have a grandmother, you will not die!" Jiang Tianyi replied: "heaven together with the public to fight, but different from the public to die for righteousness!" In October of the same year, Jinsheng was escorted to Nanjing, where people sent him off. Passing by Wuhu, Huizhou compatriots welcome and see off at the roadside, someone said: "when you come back, we will come back to wait by the roadside." Jin Sheng replied with a smile, "I'll be worthless if I come back again."

Die unyielding

When he arrived in Nanjing, Hong Chengchou, as a Jinshi of the same year, urged him to surrender. He was denounced by him. Jin Sheng opened his eyes and angrily said, "no one has ever been gracious enough to surrender!" Jiang Tianyi insulted him by reciting the sacrificial rites of emperor Chongzhen. To learn from Mr. Hong Hengjiu, Hong Chengchou said that I am. Jin Sheng said, "bah! Who doesn't know that Mr. Hong has died for his country! How dare you pretend to be Hong JINGLUE? "Hong Chengchou was so angry that he was speechless. When Wang Duoduo of Henan in Qing Dynasty saw the sound of heavy gold, Hong Chengchou was worried about killing Jin Sheng, so he suggested that Jin Sheng became a monk. Jin Sheng said, "why should I be a loyal minister?" Hong Chengchou said that the fire was not removed, so he killed Jinsheng. On December 5, Jin Sheng died in Nanjing Yuhuatai. Jiang Tianyi died, and before he was sentenced to death, he cried out: "let's live forever, let's not forget it!" Jin Sheng's younger brother Jin Jing and general fan Yunlong died together. Before his execution, he was 48 years old, sitting at the back of Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty.
