Li Ming

Li Chen (1298-1352), Zi Wei, was born in Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui Province) and was a minister of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the fourth year of the TAIDING reign of the Yuan Dynasty, he was the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the Hanlin Academy of national history. In the fifth year of TAIDING, the ancestral temple was built in Xiyue. He was changed to be a provincial inspector of Henan Province, moved to be the head of the Ministry of rites, served as a censor, and became a provincial doctor of Jiangxi Province. Li Ming was appointed to inspect the river and canal. He served as Secretary Supervisor, Minister of rites and general manager of Jiangzhou road.

In the 11th year of Zhizheng period, Xu Shouhui rebelled against Henan Province, and Li Ming died in battle. The imperial court bestowed on him the title of Duke of Longxi County. The imperial edict established a temple in Jiangzhou, and the grant was called chonglie.

brief introduction

Li Yu, whose name is Ziwei, was born in Tianguan Li. His father, Li Shouzhong, was a minister of the Ministry of industry. In the fourth year of TAIDING (1327), 30-year-old Li Fu won the first place in the imperial examination in Dadu (today's Beijing). He was awarded the title of imperial scholar kuidoshi in Ming Dynasty. Later, he transferred to Langzhong, a province in the west of the Yangtze River, and became the prime minister of the state. He moved to Wenge, where he had a doctor's degree, and was promoted to Secretary eunuch. According to the decree, we will make a detailed decision on the affairs of the Chinese and foreign authorities. It has been discussed that the internal and external officials should be transferred to Jiangzhou road.

In the summer and may of 1351, the 11th year of Emperor Huizong (Shundi) of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Shouhui, a cloth peddler in Luotian, saw that the officials were corrupt, the law and discipline were rampant, and the people of all ethnic groups were in dire straits, so he led the people to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the first month of the twelfth year of the reign of the Communist Party of China, the rebels captured Wuchang and forced into Jiangxi. At that time, Li Zhen, the general manager of Jiangzhou Road, guarded the city of Jiujiang and blocked Xu Shouhui's volunteers. In February Jiashen, the rebel army arrived at the city of Jiujiang. The provincial government affairs were too tough to spend. They fled from the north gate and led troops to the city. The rebel army arrived at Gantang lake and burned the west gate. After attacking Dongmen and rescuing Dongmen, the rebel army entered the city and fought with it in the street. Surrounded by the rebel army, he fell from behind and died at the age of 55. His nephew Li Bingzhao (the third son of Li Mian) also died in the war. More than a month after Li's death, the imperial court granted him the title of Duke of Longxi County. The imperial edict established a temple in Jiangzhou and granted an amount to chonglie.

Jiangzhou, also known as Chaisang and Xunyang, is the ancient name of Jiujiang. Because of its "six roads in the south, five mountains in the way, the Yangtze River in the north, running the min and Han Dynasties, and coming to merchants and Najia", it was once known as one of China's "four rice markets" and "three tea markets". As an important historical town, Jiangzhou city has experienced several ups and downs and ups and downs in more than 2000 years of history.

He was the only number one scholar in Bozhou's three counties and one district since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When the city was destroyed and people died, he fought bravely and bravely, and said: "kill me, don't kill the people!" He was called "loyal minister" by his opponents

Compared with other Bozhou historical celebrities, Li Ming's fame is smaller. This is related to the misleading of history. No matter the history of the Yuan Dynasty or the history of the Ming Dynasty, when introducing Li Ming, it should be noted that "Li Ming is also a Yingren." It is also written on the "Fuyang people's annals" website that Li Ming was born and died in Yingzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. There's nothing wrong with that. Li Ming's hometown has been under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou or Fuyang since the Yuan Dynasty. It was not until the establishment of Bozhou City at the prefecture level at the end of last century that his hometown was assigned to Bozhou City. Because of this reason, coupled with the lack of publicity for him, it is reasonable that Bozhou readers are unfamiliar with him, but he is the only number one scholar in Bozhou's three counties and one district since Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Resume

Li Chen, Ziwei, born in Tianguan Li village, Ruji Town, Lixin County, Bozhou City, was born in the second year of Dade (1298) of the Yuan Dynasty and died in the twelfth year of Zhizheng (1352) of the Yuan Dynasty. He was smart and studious when he was young. In the fourth year of TAIDING (1327), he won the first place in the palace examination at the age of 30, and was named the number one scholar by Emperor TAIDING. In the imperial examination system of China's feudal society for more than 1300 years, there were 599 top scholars with names and surnames, of which 41 were from Anhui, and Li Min was one of them.

"Election 1, No. 31 in the annals of the Yuan Dynasty" records that "in the spring and March of the fourth year, there were six candidates in the imperial examination, such as achachi and Li Ming." There is also a written record: "Li Ming, a native of Yingzhou (now Fuyang), is Ziwei. Yuantaiding four years (1327) left list champion This is not only in our Bozhou three counties and one district, but also in the original Fuyang City is the only. After the number one scholar in the Imperial Academy, he was taught the general history of the Ming Dynasty. After constant promotion, tired official to xuanwenge Jianshu doctor, Minister of rites.

contribution

Secondly, he is a champion of loyalty as well as Wen Tianxiang. When his name is mentioned in history books, it is always accompanied by the words of loyalty and loyalty. As a weak scholar, when the country was in danger, the city was broken, and people died, he fought bravely and bravely, and said, "kill me, don't kill the people!" He was shot by random arrows and killed in battle. His heroism and bravery are deeply rooted in the past.

Li Shouzhong, Li Min's father, became an official with talent and learning, and served as Minister of the Ministry of industry. We have no way to find the information about Li Shouzhong. But there are many records about Li Ming in Yuan history, Ming history and Yongle Dadian. According to the history of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Shouzhong was impatient and strict with his son, but he was good at drinking. Every time he drank, he was often confused and drunk for a long time. Li Min knelt down and served until dawn. In the fourth year of TAIDING period, Li Ming was awarded the title of Hanlin Xiuzhuan. The next year, the emperor went to Huashan to worship. The provincial minister said to Li Ming, "the imperial envoy always let me go behind. Can I change the order this time?" Li Ming said: "although the position of the emperor's envoy is low, the order of the spring and Autumn Annals is higher than that of the vassals. How can I go behind even if I respect the emperor?" The provincial minister did not answer. Later, Li Ming was ordered to inspect the canals and wrote: "the source of the river comes from the west of Beijing. In the Song Dynasty, for the convenience of transportation, the river was built on flat ground. Today, the bottom of the river is filled with silt, which is higher than the ground. Once the flood comes, it will collapse and cause disaster. It is appropriate to build the river according to the old way. In the future, there may be unexpected obstacles in the East River, from which the grain and fodder from the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River can be transported to the capital, which will benefit all generations. " However, it was not adopted by the court. Later, Li Ming was transferred to be the manager of Jiangzhou road.

Redords of the Grand History of China

Loyalty to the Yuan Dynasty in the battle of Jiangzhou

Li Ming was loyal to Yuan Dynasty when he was in charge of Jiangzhou Road, which involved the famous "Jiangzhou war" in Chinese history.

The history of the Yuan Dynasty records the detailed process of the war between Li Ming and Jiangzhou: at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was political corruption, the people were in dire need of livelihood, and the peasant army rose in all directions. During the Zhizheng period, Li Min served as the general manager of Jiangzhou road. Xu Shouhui, a native of Luotian, fought against the Yuan Dynasty in Qichun, Hubei Province. Xu Jun developed rapidly, and soon captured Wuchang and other places in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, reaching Jiangxi. At that time, Li Ming, the general manager of Jiangzhou Road, took part in politics for the provincial government. When Xu's army attacked Jiangzhou again, Li Ming wrote to Xingsheng to offer the strategy of attack and defense. He asked his troops to garrison in the north of the river to guard the main line, but it was not adopted. So he renovated the moats, recruited soldiers, and prepared to defend the city. In the 12th year, the peasant volunteers crossed the Yangtze River. The yuan army stationed by the Yangtze River was defeated without fighting. Wang kuanche of Weishun and his provincial officials abandoned the city and fled. Wuchang and Ruichang were lost one after another. Jiangxi was shocked. At that time, yisut Moore, the chief of Huangmei County, responded positively. Li Ming was very happy and swore to Tianli wine with him. Before the end of the oath, the red scarf army's forward has arrived, and Li Bi urgently orders the local soldiers to cut off the enemy's return. In a hurry, he saw that there was no mark on the soldiers. Li Ming ordered the soldiers to paint their faces with ink and lead them to fight. He chased 60 Li and killed more than 20000 people.

Li Ming came back after winning. He expected that the enemy would attack from the water, so he said to the left and right: "if the land attack fails, the bandits will come back by water." Then thousands of long wooden sticks were installed with sharp iron cones and placed in the coastal water, known as "Seven Star piles", to block the enemy ships. Sure enough, a few days later, the southwest wind was strong, and the peasant army arrived by thousands of warships. The ship encountered a stake and was stabbed in by an iron cone, unable to move. Li Ming led the soldiers to attack. With a single order, the fire plumes and arrows shot at each other. The enemy ship caught fire. The soldiers of the red scarf army jumped into the river to escape and drowned countless people. When the provincial government reported the credit to Li Ming, the imperial court paid homage to him as the governor of Jiangxi provincial government and the military and civilian capital of Jiangzhou and Nankang.

At this time, the peasant army was prosperous, from Jinghu in the west to Huaidian in the East. Although Li Ming won for a while, Jiangzhou was outnumbered and the situation was very critical! On this day, general Zou Pusheng of Xu Shouhui came to attack the city with a fierce momentum. Tuqinbuha, the Mongolian provincial governor in Jiangzhou City, saw the situation and fled secretly. Li Min led the soldiers to the city, refused to fight and vowed not to surrender. Suddenly, it was reported that the red scarf army had arrived at Gantang lake, and the west gate was on fire. Li Ming rushed to the west gate and risked his life to kill the enemy. Seeing that the west gate was hard to attack, the red scarf army turned to attack the east gate, and Li Ming led his troops to the east gate. The east gate was finally broken, and Li Min organized a street fight and was finally surrounded. Knowing that he was invincible, Li Ming lashed out with his sword: "kill me, do not kill the people!" He was shot by a random arrow at the age of 55. When his nephew Li Bingzhao was besieging the city in Jiangzhou with Li, Li said to him, "I serve the country with my death. You should not stay here for the survival of the city and the death of the city." Bingzhao sobbed and replied, "life and death come from uncle!" So they died together

sacrifice

Respected by both sides of the war

After Li's death, the county people cried loudly and led a coffin to be buried outside the east gate. More than a month after Li's death, the imperial court appointed him. Therefore, he presented Li Bi Zhong, a meritorious official in virtue of righteousness and efficiency, a senior official in Zide, a provincial governor in Huainan and Jiangbei, and a superior guard. He was granted the title of "Zhongwen" after being granted the title of Duke of Longxi County. The imperial edict was issued to establish a temple in Jiangzhou, and the plaque of "chonglie" was given. The official and his son were appointed to the system. One year before Li's death, that is, in the 11th year of Zhizheng reign, Liu Futong revolted and conquered Yingzhou (now Fuyang). Li Mian, Li's brother, led the people to resist. When the city was trapped, he was forced to scold and died. Shi Chengzhong's festival was one of the best. Li Mian is Li Bingzhao's father. In memory of their loyalty, the people of Yingzhou
