The Chinese nation is a nation that highly values heroes. Over the past five thousand years, there have been thousands of heroes, but there are very few heroines who are not worthy of admiration. Liang Hongyu is a heroine in Chinese history. You must be familiar with the story of Liang Hongyu fighting against Huang tiandang and the lyrics of "Liang Hongyu fighting against the golden soldiers, fighting drums, fighting drums".

Reasons for construction

Liang Hongyu is from Huai'an District of Huai'an City. She was born in poverty and made a living by knitting. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers committed crimes to the south

Liang Hongyu moved southward with her family to Jingkou, which is now Zhenjiang. She married Han Shizhong, a famous anti Jin general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and began her military career. In 1130, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu were ordered to guard Jingkou and fight against Huang tiandang. Liang Hongyu "personally held the drum" and commanded the battle. He led 8000 elite troops and besieged 100000 Jin Wushu troops in Huang tiandang. Several times, Jin Wushu sacrificed a lot of property and good horses plundered in Jiangnan and begged to be released to the north by the way, which were rejected by Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu. At this time, Liang Hongyu reminded the commander-in-chief to take advantage of the situation to attack. Han Shizhong was confident that the enemy could not escape and waited for the enemy to surrender in the way of siege. After being trapped for 48 days, Jin Bing found out that there was a small river at the west end of Huang tiandang, which could reach the Yangtze River, so he dug a channel to escape. The victory of Huang tiandang in Han and Liang Dynasties was celebrated by the imperial court. Han Shizhong was promoted by the emperor and Liang Hongyu was praised. However, Liang Hongyu believed that when the enemy was ready to be annihilated, she let the enemy escape without any success. So he wrote a memorial, impeached the commander Han Shizhong, and asked for Han Shizhong's punishment. Song Gaozong saw Liang Hongyu's Memorial, when the court read it out, the monarchs and ministers were moved by Liang Hongyu's profound righteousness. If the average woman conceals more for her husband, where will she report it. It can be seen that Liang Hongyu is not only a heroine, but also a "great husband" among women who distinguish right from wrong. In 1135, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu stationed troops in Chuzhou (today's Huai'an District), where Han Shizhong and the soldiers shared weal and woe; Liang Hongyu personally "weaved PU for the house" and dug Pu roots to serve as military provisions. Because of the unity and high morale of the officers and men, they stationed only 30000 troops in Huai'an, and the Jin army did not dare to invade the Southern Song Dynasty. In her military career, Liang Hongyu made outstanding contributions and became well-known in the government and the public. She was successively honored as Mrs. an and Mrs. Yang.

In 1135, Liang Hongyu followed her husband out of the town of Chuzhou (now Huai'an District), "beat the thorns to set up the military mansion, worked with the soldiers, and personally made a house." They fought with Jin army, puppet Qi Zhen Huai army and Shanyang army. On August 26 of the lunar calendar (October 6, 1135), Yufu was besieged by the Jin army. He was seriously injured in the abdomen and his intestines flowed out. He was wrapped up in a sweat towel and continued to fight. Finally, he had a heavy armour and died of falling down. The head was cut off by the enemy. Feeling his loyalty and bravery, the Jin people presented his body to the public and sent it back to the imperial court. After hearing the news, the imperial court extended its condolence.

After the death of Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty ordered a monument to be erected to commemorate them. Today, Zaoshi Street Primary School in Canglang District of Suzhou city is the original Qiwang temple, offering two statues of Han and Liang. On the wall, there are "Spring Festival for Han Wang's birthday on the 20th of the first month, autumn festival for Mrs. Liang's birthday on the 6th of the ninth month". In memory of this heroine, her parents in her hometown also built a statue in her birthplace to commemorate her.

The original Temple of Liang Hongyu is attached to the fire Temple of beichenfang, which was built many times in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The temple is a courtyard, six feet long from east to west and five feet wide from south to north. It covers an area of five-thirds of a meter. On the south side of the temple is a courtyard wall facing the street, with three rooms in the East chamber, three rooms in the west chamber and three rooms in the main hall. A clay statue of Liang Hongyu is set on the altar, and there is an ancient cypress in the courtyard. The gate faces to the East, to the south of the East chamber, and to the southeast corner of the courtyard. Later, it was destroyed by war and was in a state of disrepair at the time of liberation. In 1959, the people's Government of Huai'an County rebuilt the ancestral temple at the original site, which was demolished during the cultural revolution, and rebuilt it in 1982.

The newly-built Liang Hongyu temple is 19.56 meters long from east to west and 30.53 meters wide from south to north, covering an area of 597.17 square meters. The courtyard is surrounded by walls and the gate faces south. On the top of the gate are the four characters "Liang Hongyu Temple" written by the late famous female calligrapher Xiao Xian. Pines and cypresses are planted all over the courtyard. On the north side of the courtyard, there are three halls, 10.5 meters long from east to west and 7 meters wide from north to south, with a building area of 73.5 square meters. The whole building imitates the architecture of Ming Dynasty, with antique flavor. There is a 1.7-meter-high sword statue of Liang Hongyu on the altar in the hall, elegant and valiant. On both sides of the statue is a couplet written by contemporary calligrapher Yang Xiupin, which is also red makeup and green sleeves, but the heart of history. On both sides of the pillars hung a pair of 54 word long mud gold couplets:

Green eyes know heroes, why cold? Recalling that the North Lu Zhang, drum Pro operation, banbishanhe extension song Zuo;

The beauty destroys the enemy, the man is ashamed! Look at the east wind today, chongci reorganization, the reputation of Yanghuai?.

Liang Hongyu temple is now a cultural relic protection unit in Huai'an City.

Memorial Hall of lady Yinglie

Thirty miles to the northwest of Yangzhou, there is Desheng mountain, so King Hanqi taboo Shizhong break Jinbing place, there is a martyr's wife temple, the natives called the temple of different prostitutes. Inside, there are military portraits, banners and sword seals of Yinglie's wife, whose name is Liang, the Fifth Army commander of Yinglie's wife Yang.

The wife of Yinglie is Liang's concubine of Hanqi king. In Chizhou, the ancestor of Liang family, his father and grandfather were all in the army. Liang's duolitong attack, can open a strong bow, shoot 200 steps, all hit. Liang said, "I hate not being a man, even so." He is a chivalrous man who lives in Beijing. He uses his horn to fight against his skill.

At the beginning of Xuanhe, Tong Guan broke the fangla and returned to Jingkou to hold a banquet. Shizhong attends the banquet with chengjielang, and Liang drinks. When the world is loyal to the public, heroic, outstanding, not with everyone. Liang's different, ask about, know is alone capture fangla Han Xiaowei also. The Liang family redeemed himself for his concubine.

During the period of Jingkang, the two emperors hunted in the north, and Hebei Province was completely lost. Shizhong used regiment training to make the army rise and serve the king. Liang's central praise plan, a number of defeated Jin army, the military are known as "women's regiment training.".

In the third year of Jianyan's reign, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan rebelled, imprisoned Gaozong, and changed Yuan Dynasty to Ming Dynasty. When Shi Shizhong was in Xiuzhou, he was not allowed to enter as a soldier. He repaired his equipment and suspected rebellion. Fu et al. When Liang and Zi Liang were in Lin'an, they were challenged by Fu and defended closely. The Empress Dowager uses Pingzhang to serve Zhu SHENGFEI and plans to summon the king of four quarters. Sheng Fei said to Fu: "Xiuzhou is suspicious and afraid. It is because there is no Ming imperial edict and no reward. Now, if empress dowager Bai sends the Liang family to comfort Shizhong, the people of Pingjiang will be more comfortable. " So the Empress Dowager called the Liang family in, granted the lady of the state of an, and speeded up her service to the king. That is to say, Liang will be loyal to Xiuzhou one day and one night. Face to face with Lin'an's true and false interests, and firm words must be diligent. Soon after, the Ming Dynasty received an imperial edict. Shi Zhong said, "I know there is Jianyan, but I don't know there is mingshou." He killed his emissary, took the imperial edict and burned it. He rushed forward and captured Miao. Liu cunzhe died. Chaos was peaceful. After the restoration of Emperor Gaozong, the Liang family was honored as the wife of the protector.

In the autumn of the third year, Wushu invaded, and the emperor had the intention of moving and calling the generals to ask. Bai Shizhong, the Liang family, said, "the country has lost Hebei and Shandong. If it abandons the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, where will it be?" Shizhong said this, and the emperor was pleased with it, so he took Shizhong as the official envoy of Western Zhejiang Province and guarded Zhenjiang.

Even though Wushu crossed the river separately, all the villages were defeated, and the emperor was like eastern Zhejiang. Shizhong also retired from Zhenjiang to Jiangyin. Bai Shizhong, the Liang family, said: "Wushu is an isolated army. That is to say, Lin'an will be broken. It's better to attack it in the middle of the journey and win if you can control it. " Shizhong then paid homage to Emperor Yu Xing and said, "Fang Liujiang, the man who intercepted the gold, returned to his master, and fought to death." The emperor called the assistant minister and said, "Lv Yihao is in Kuaiji. He tried this strategy. Shizhong happens to agree." Xu Zhi.

When Wushu returned to Zhenjiang, Shizhong army had settled in Jiaoshan temple first, and Jin General Li Xuan had been demoted. Wushu was not allowed to cross, but fought with Shizhong about Japan. When the two armies first joined up, the Jin army was as dense as rain, but the Shizhong army was a little weak. Liang went to the iron armor, threw the handrail, and did not avoid the sharp arrow. He personally held the drum, so his morale was greatly boosted, and the Jin soldiers were finally unable to cross. Huang tiandang died in Hong Kong. Shizhong had few soldiers, and he was in a stalemate with Wushu. Huang tiandang's 48 days later, the enemy got to juejiang to escape.

It's also a military service. There are 100000 Wushu soldiers and only 8000 Shizhong people. Liang ran away with Wu Shu and wrote to impeach Shizhong for "losing the opportunity to control the enemy". Gao Zongshen is very fond of comforting and praising. He also appointed Liang as the wife of the state of Yang and the commander of the five armies. Taking Princess Pingyang of Tang as an example, he set up the shogunate and led his own army. The Liang family led the army and defeated several golden men. When people in Jin Dynasty heard the name of "women's army", they were all afraid.

In the fifth year of Shaoxing, the emperor wanted to restore Chuzhou. He took Shizhong as the governor of the Anhua army in Wuning and the Xuanfu envoy of huaidong road in Jingdong. Liang followed the army and built a military mansion. He worked with the soldiers and made a house of his own. Fuji, LiuSan, Shangyang became an important town.

Liang's several battles, Jin's army in Shanyang, Suqian, all won. So I'm not willing to let it go. In August, Ding Mao led a light horse to attack the grain road of the Jin people, and met with an ambush. Gold is surrounded by ten times of iron floating picture. Liang's body was cut by several wounds, his waist and abdomen were cut by the enemy's blade, his intestines flowed three feet, and he took back the pain with a sweat towel. I can't help but think about it and say, "serve the country today.". When the words are finished, the enemy will fight again. The enemy's arrow is like rain, and the hedgehog is on his armour. Liang's blood dialysis heavy armour, into the enemy again cut more than ten people, try to fall dead. The Jin people fought for the head and split its five bodies. Those who got the head got two steps and those who got the limbs got one step.

After Liang's death, Jin people exposed his carcass in Huai city for three days. They wrote his first letter to the Northern Kingdom, and the Jin emperor's life was suspended in the capital gate. Wu Shu heard of it and felt its loyalty and bravery. He collected Liang's body and left it to Shizhong. At the time of amalgamation, Liang's whole body was examined. There were dozens of injuries and seven fatal cases in front of him. Shizhong mourns. After hearing the news, the imperial court extended its condolence and issued an imperial edict to grant 500 pieces of silver and silk to pursue the title of "Lady Yang"
