Life

Li Fu? His ancestral home was Guangping (now Yongnian, Hebei Province), and later he moved to Hengzhou (now Hengyang, Hunan Province). He was intelligent and alert, and had the ambition to serve his country since he was a child. He named his study "wubiqi".

Li Fu initially served as Nan'an Si Hu and later as Qi Yang Wei. During this period, he led the people to open up wasteland and provide relief to the poor, so he gained a great reputation. Soon, he became the magistrate of Qiyang, and soon changed the old appearance of Qiyang. As a result, Li Fu was promoted to Hunan pacification department.

In 1234, the Mongol rulers in the north of China destroyed the Jin Dynasty and went south, aiming at the Southern Song Dynasty. From then on, there was a long-term war between the rulers of Song Dynasty and Mongolia. In the face of difficulties, Li Fu went to the front line of anti yuan war with the enthusiasm of serving the country. First of all, Li Fu recruited Qin Wang to "select 3000 strong men" and ordered Yin Fenzhong, a local local tyrant, to be the commander. In addition, he called the militia to gather in Hengzhou as a reserve.

In 1258, Kublai Khan led his army to attack Ezhou, which was bravely resisted by the army and people of the Southern Song Dynasty. But at that time, Jia Sidao, the prime minister, was in charge of the defense of jiangshang. He was always timid and afraid of the enemy. I dare not fight. At this time, they quickly sent people to negotiate peace with Mongolia. As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty cut the land north of the Yangtze River and paid tribute in exchange for the withdrawal of the Mongolian army from Ezhou.

In July 1274, song duzong died, and Jia Sidao made a 4-year-old child Zhao Xian emperor. In September, the main force of the yuan army headed by Zuo Prime Minister Boyan invaded Xiangyang and finally crossed the Yangtze River. Ezhou surrendered to the yuan army.

In 1274, Kublai Khan led the army to attack Ezhou, and Li Fu was called to Hunan to raise the penalty. At that time, bandits swarmed in Hunan counties, and the people fled in fear. After Li Fu took office, he sent the militia to patrol day and night, and set up a flag beside the road, on which he wrote: "the troublemakers will be beheaded", so the thieves did not dare to make trouble.

Boyan led the main force to the East and went straight to Lin'an. Along the way, the song army surrendered one after another. When the news came, the government of the Southern Song Dynasty was shocked and issued an imperial edict to raise troops to serve the king, and asked Jia Sidao to send troops to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. Jia Sidao had to wait until the first year of Deyou (1275). But he was insincere and soon defeated Wuhu. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Song court had to dismiss him.

After Jia Sidao was demoted, Li Fu became governor of Tanzhou and pacifier of Hunan. At that time, many counties in Hubei had been attached to the Yuan Dynasty, and many of Li Fu's friends advised him not to take office. Li Fu said: "I'm not good at planning my body? My younger brother received the country's favor from the world. Although he was abandoned, he still thought about it, so he rewarded me. Now I am lucky to use me. I will make the country prosperous with my family. "

At that time, Li Fu happened to have a daughter who died of illness. He was very sad, but he thought that he had a heavy responsibility, so he moved forward with tears.

In July of the first year of Germany, Li Fu arrived in Tanzhou (today's Changsha). At that time, Tanzhou's troops had been transferred to other places. Li Fu recruited troops in a hurry and barely filled 3000 people. In addition, he persuaded some local tyrants to resist yuan and won their support. At the same time, a number of reinforcements were transferred from Hubei, Sichuan and other places. Li Fu gathered these forces, together with the people of Tanzhou, to fight to the death with Yuanbing. At this time, Ali Haihe, the right Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, had already captured Jiangling. He took part of his troops to guard Changde, and then concentrated on attacking Tanzhou.

Li Fu sent a general to meet the enemy in Xingzhong. Unfortunately, he died in Xingzhong. In September, Li Fu ordered another general to lead troops to resist after Ming Dynasty. However, the yuan army's offensive was too fierce. Before Song army could send troops, the yuan army had surrounded Tanzhou. In this case, Li Fu personally met the enemy. In October, the song army almost ran out of ammunition and food. Li Fu led the song army to insist on resistance. At that time, the song army "took advantage of death and injury, people still drank blood, and took the city to fight to the death.". When the yuan army sent people to persuade him to surrender, "Li Fu killed him to die.". In December, the situation in Tanzhou city became more critical. Some soldiers cried and asked Li Fu, "the situation is so critical that we can't regret our death, but what should the people do?" Li Fu was afraid that his words would shake the morale of the army, so he pretended to be very angry and said, "the country usually supports you so much. Today is the day for you. If you are the first, I will kill you first."

On New Year's Eve, Yuan soldiers boarded the gate of Tanzhou, and many generals in the Southern Song Dynasty led their families to serve their country with death. Li Fu Zhao's whole heart was named Shen Zhong. He said, "I am exhausted and deserve to die. My family should not be humiliated by the captives. You should kill them and then kill me.". Shen Zhong kowtowed and said: "I can't do this." According to the history of the Song Dynasty, at that time, "Fu Gu Ming Zhi", Shen Zhong tearfully agreed to let Li Fu's family get drunk with the wine, "it's the blade" and "Fu also leads the neck to accept the blade".

After Li Fu's death, he was named Zhongjie Gong, and was worshipped by the people in Tanzhou and Hengzhou. He wrote the chronicle of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue and the history of Song Dynasty.

When people in Tanzhou heard about it, "most of them killed themselves, but there were no empty wells in the city, and there were many people hanging in the forest.".

Li Fu's noble moral character and deeds of serving the country and the people are not only praised by people, but also passed down for thousands of years.

Li Fu, whose name is Shu Zhang, was born in Guangping. He was smart and alert from an early age. In his early years, he made up for the lack of Nanan Si Hu with the achievements of his ancestors. Later, he was called up to be Qi Yang Wei and went out to relieve the famine. He soon gained a good reputation in the local area. Later, he acted as the magistrate of Qiyang County, and the county was well managed, and he was called up to be the Minister of appeasement in Hunan. At that time, there were four bandits in Yongzhou, and they were not successfully recruited for more than a year. Li Fu and Deng Jiong, the counsellor, led 1300 people to break through the bandits' lair and capture the thief leader alive. When Jiang chose his father and son to return, the rest of their party died down.

Later, he became a county magistrate in Xiangtan county. There were many wealthy and powerful families in the county. The former county magistrate did not dare to offend like a bundle of feet and feet. Li checked the registered residence tax and did not evade power.

In the first year of Xianchun's reign, he was transferred back to Lin'an Prefecture as a government official. At that time, Quan Xiang Jia Sidao presided over the government, and the former Fu Yin reported everything in advance. Only Li Fu didn't report anything. Jia Sidao tried his best to rescue him. Li Fu repeatedly stated his views in a letter, and finally dealt with it according to law. Li Fu once went out to inspect the production of fire attack weapons. Some people who did not produce such weapons asked him why and replied, "it's Jia Sidao's family." Li Fu immediately beat him with his stick. Jia Sidao was furious when he knew about it, and let Huang Wanshi, the admonitor, falsely accuse him of corruption, and then dismissed him.

When the yuan army captured Ezhou, the imperial court appointed Li Fu as the punishment officer in Hunan. At that time, bandits harassed all the counties in Hunan, and most of the people fled. Li Fu ordered all the departments under his command to enlist the people to defend themselves. The county granted them a black flag and ordered: "the rioters will be killed under the flag." People are ultimately submissive. Another militia gathered in Hengyang area to prepare for defense. Soon after, Jia Sidao defeated Wuhu, so the imperial court restored Li Fu's official position and let him take charge of Tanzhou and serve as a pacifier of Hunan. At that time, all the counties in Hubei Province had been occupied by the yuan army, and his friends advised him not to take office. Li Fu burst into tears and said, "how can I make mistakes in thinking about my own problems? Because (I) have suffered national favor for generations, and now thanks to the appointment of the imperial court, I should devote my whole family to the country. " At that time, his beloved daughter died, and he took office after a bitter cry.

In July of the first year of dehu, Li Fu went to Tanzhou, and Tanzhou's army would be transferred
