Life of the characters

Join the army

Yu Yu was born on December 8, the fourth year of Qingyuan in ningzong of Song Dynasty (January 6, 1199). His ancestral home is Qichun County, Qizhou, Huainan West Road (now Qichun County, Hubei Province). After Song Shi's southward migration, his ancestors lived in Jinshui Township, Kaihua County, Quzhou, eastern Zhejiang Province (now Kaihua County, Zhejiang Province), Fenning County, Hongzhou, Jiangxi Province (now Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province), and later returned to settle down in Qizhou.

Yu Yu was poor when he was a child. He was studying in Bailudong academy and Taixue Shangshe. Because of a quarrel with the old man in the teahouse, he accidentally pushed the tea man to death. He escaped from Xiang and Huai areas and wrote a long and short poem, which was put under the curtain of Zhao Kui. Zhao Kui praised his ambition and accepted him to serve in the army. Soon after that, he made up for vice captain Yi with his merits, and was promoted to be a supervisor.

In February of the third year of Duanping (1236), the Mongolian army invaded Qi, Huang and Guang. In response to the conscription of the garrison officials in Qizhou, Yu Zhen helped organize the army and the people to defend the city, and cooperated with the reinforcements of the Southern Song Dynasty to repel the Mongolian army.

In October of the first year of Jiaxi (1237), under the leadership of Zhao Kui, Yu Yu led the troops to defend Du Gao, the general of Anfeng Army (< I > Anhui Province < / I > < I > Shouxian County < / I >), defeated the Mongolian army, and preserved huaiyou. In the following year, the imperial court offered rewards for meritorious service, and Yu Xun was appointed as an official of the Ministry of industry.

Xuyi retreats

In September of the second year of Jiaxi (1238), Chahan, the Mongolian commander, attacked Chuzhou. Yu Yu led his troops to the rescue and won a great victory.

In the third year of Jiaxi reign (1239), Yu Yu led his army to attack the Mongolian army in Kaifeng (< I > today's Kaifeng in Henan Province < / I >) and Heyin (< I > today's northwest of Zhengzhou in Henan Province < / I >).

In September of 1240, he was promoted to be a prison in huaidong and also known Huaian Prefecture. He presided over the defense of the east of Haozhou and the north and south of Huaihe River.

In the autumn of the first year of Chunyou (1241), Chahan sent troops to Anfeng army again. Yu Yu led the boat division to attack and fought fiercely for more than 40 days, making the Mongolian army retreat. Thanks to his military achievements, Shaoqing of Dali was promoted to huaidong and vice envoys were appointed.

Build a base to defend Shu

From the third year of Chunyou (1243) to the first year of Baoyou (1253), Yu Fei, who was stationed in Sichuan Province, fought against the attack of Mongolian army with mountain city defense in the Mongolian song war.

In November of the first year of Chunyou (1241), the Mongol wokuotai Khan died, and there was no time to fully deploy the large-scale war against the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty was able to temporarily rest and adjust its defense deployment. Zhao Yun, the emperor of Song Li Zong, ordered Yu Yu, who had made many achievements in huaidong, to be the Minister of the Ministry of war, the Sichuan governor and the Chongqing government, and to be fully responsible for the defense of Sichuan.

After Yu Yu took office, he got rid of the bad government and implemented the policies of light corvee and meager taxes, rectifying military discipline, eliminating violence and rewarding the virtuous, widely recruiting the virtuous and gathering the small villages for the big ones. They built more than ten cities, including Qingju, Dazhuo, Yunding and Diaoyu (< I > respectively located in the south of Nanchong, Southeast of Cangxi, south of Jintang, east of Hechuan, Chongqing) and moved to the mountain city. They also adjusted the deployment of troops, and moved Jinzhou (< I > today's Shaanxi < / I > < I > Ankang < / I >) to garrison in Dahuo; moved mianzhou (< I > today's Shaanxi < / I > < I > Lueyang < / I >) to garrison in Qingju; moved Xingyuan (< I > today's < / I > < I > Hanzhong < / I >) to garrison in Hezhou (< I > today's Chongqing Hechuan District East fishing City < / I >) to jointly defend the internal waters (< I > today's < / I > < I > < I > Fujiang < / I >, < I > < I > Jialing River < / I > < I >, < I > < I > < I > Qujiang < / I >) ）They moved their troops to Yunding to prepare for external water (< I > < I > Minjiang River < / I > < I >, < / I > < I > Tuojiang River < / I >). After several years of construction, the city has gradually built a deep echelon defense system with Chongqing as the center and fortresses as the control points of rivers and passes. The border defense is a little more secure.

Repeatedly break through the Mongolian Army

In Sichuan, Yu opened up farms for military supplies, reorganized his wealth, declared rewards and punishments, and built a mountain city. All the meritorious officers and men who fought against Mongolia were rewarded. Those who break the law will be punished. Lizhoudu controlled Wang Kui's ferocious and domineering, and was known as "Wang yecha". He did not listen to Yu's dispatch and plundered everywhere. Yu Yu killed Wang Kui according to the military law. After Yu's rectification, the Sichuan garrison gained momentum. The Mongol army invaded from the West many times, but was defeated by the song army.

In the sixth year of Chunyou (1246), the Mongols sent four troops to Sichuan. After defeating the Mongol army's attacks for many times, Yu Yu beat back the Mongol army's attacks by relying on the newly established mountain city defense system.

In the 10th year of Chunyou (1250), Yu Fei mobilized all the elites of Sichuan Province and vowed to launch the northern expedition. He took Jinniu Road to Hanzhong (< I > now belongs to Shaanxi < / I >), and won three battles and three victories. In April of the next year, Yu Yu led 100000 soldiers to occupy Liangshan Mountain in the middle of Hanzhong and the West. After burning down the plank road from Hanzhong to dashanguan (< I > today's Shaanxi < / I > < I > Baoji < / I > < I > Southwest < / I >), he led several troops to encircle Hanzhong and attack day and night. The Mongolian army will repair the plank road, and the reinforcements will arrive. Yu Yu was unable to attack for a long time, and his teacher was blunt, so he had to withdraw.

In 1248, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of war. He worshipped the Bachelor of zizhengdian and gave the consul the same amount of grace. He was still stationed in Sichuan.

In the 12th year of Chunyou (1252), the wangdechen tribe of Mongolia invaded Chengdu and besieged Jiading (< I > present Sichuan < / I > < I > Leshan < / I >). Yu Yu led his troops to fight hard and beat back the Mongolian army again. Under the leadership of Yu Yu, the situation of Sichuan's anti Mongolian war is getting better and better.

Unjust violent death

Yu Yu won the Anti Japanese War, but Prime Minister Xie Fangshu tried to persecute him. Yu Yu was at odds with Yao Shi'an, who was in charge of Yao Shi'an, while Yao Shi'an was assisted by Xie Fangshu.

In the first year of Baoyou (1253), Xie Fangshu and Xu qingsou, who were involved in the political affairs, falsely accused LiZong of attacking Yu Fei for taking power alone, but they didn't know how to be the king. After listening to slander, LiZong called him back to the court. Yu Yu knew that something had happened, and his anger became ill. In July of the same year (< I > Yu Ru sun's son, Yu Ru sun's epitaph of Yu Fu Jun, said it was May 18 < / I >), Yu Yu died in Sichuan at the age of 56. Rumor has it that he committed suicide by taking poison.

After Yu Yu's death, LiZong gave his facial features as a special gift. In June of the next year, Wu Sui, the imperial censor, played the seven crimes of Chen Yufan's "amassing profits" and Li Zong issued an edict to seize his family property. Later, he also said that he had no way to pacify Sichuan, worked hard and trapped the people, and ordered his family to transport money to "reward the teachers and invigorate the people.". In October, the censor Chen Dafang falsely accused Li Zong of dismissing Yu Yu as a Bachelor of Zizheng palace and persecuting his family members and cronies.

In November of the sixth year of Baoyou (1258), Emperor LiZong issued an imperial edict to recover Yu Fei's official position.
