The way of the teacher

The way of the teacher

Ch ó ng Shidao (1051-1126 A.D.) was originally named Jianzhong (Yi Shu, Han nationality). It was renamed Shiji because it avoided the name of Jingguo in Jianzhong of Huizong of Song Dynasty. Later, it was granted Shidao by Huizong. He was a famous general at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. The great Confucianists planted the great grandson of Shiheng.

At the beginning of his career as a civil servant, he became a famous general and was honored as "Lao Zhong". In the first year of Jingkang of Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers went south. He was appointed as the commander of Hebei in the capital. He strongly fought against the Jin Dynasty and won the support of the people. Soon after he died of illness, he was 76 years old. Emperor qinzong personally attended the memorial ceremony and issued an imperial edict to present Kaifu Yitong to the third division. The year after he died, the capital fell. Jianyan, plus the gift of Shaobao, posthumous title said Zhongxian.

Life of the characters

The beginning of official career

In his childhood, he was a thinker and philosopher. Because of his ancestral meritorious service, he was able to fill the third class and served as a civil servant after the examination. He served as a pushing official in Xizhou and was in charge of Tonggu County. Some county officials have filed a lawsuit over land property, which has lasted for two years. He looked through the lengthy files and never finished them. However, he found that the county officials only sued their mother and brother, which could not be filed in ancient times when filial piety was emphasized. In order to hide this, the county officials deliberately set up a labyrinth of words. So he called the petty official and asked, "it's OK for you to sue your mother and brother, but you can't harass the village for a long time." So the petty official kowtowed and pleaded guilty. He was promoted to Yuanzhou Tongtan and promoted to Qinfeng Changping. Because he disobeyed Cai Jing's will by discussing the law of military service, he changed his post to zhuangzhai envoy and zhideshun army. Then Cai Jing and his gang falsely accused him of "slandering the martyrs" and dismissed him from office. They beat him to the ground and put him on the "party membership" list. Only ten years after zhongshidao was abolished did he know Huaide army as a martial arts doctor, Zhongzhou governor and Jingyuan capital. Jiao Yanjian, the emissary of Xixia, must get the "Hometown" when he asked to divide the border. Zhong Shidao said, "if the Han and Tang Dynasties are the right places for the hometown, then the territory of your country is even less." Jiao Yanjian is speechless. When Tong Guan took command of the military power, he marched to the west, and all the way he was domineering. When the officials saw him, they knelt down and bowed to him. Song Huizong called zhongshidao to Beijing to inquire about the border situation. Zhongshidao said, "it's not a good idea to start a war first. If the enemy invades, it's a tit for tat. It's not a good idea to make trouble rashly." Tong Guan planned to migrate to the mainland to enrich the frontier, but he said he was recruited by the new frontier. Song Huizong also consulted zhongshidao. Zhongshidao said, "I'm afraid the archers have not made any contribution to the frontier yet, and the mainland has been harassed." Huizong of Song Dynasty praised his opinion, gave him a suit and a gold belt, and appointed him as the archer of lifting Qin Feng. At that time, this official was set up in all the five routes. Song Huizong said, "I promoted you personally." Tong Guan is not happy. Therefore, he did not dare to accept the appointment and was promoted to Chongfu palace upon request. After a long time, he was appointed magistrate of Xi'an.

Fight against Xixia

The Xia people invaded Dingbian, built the city of fokou, and led the song army to flatten it. Song Jun was very thirsty when he arrived. He pointed to the West foot of the mountain and said, "there should be water here." he ordered the engineers to dig. Sure enough, the spring overflowed the valley. He was promoted to the commander of longshenwei sixiangdu, the defense envoy of Mingzhou and the magistrate of Weizhou. At that time, he led the song army to build Xiwei city. Before it was completed, the enemy had arrived and built a fortress in Hulu river. Zhongshidao was arrayed by the river. It seemed that he was going to have a decisive battle with the enemy. He secretly sent Qu Ke out of Hengling, threatening that reinforcements were coming. The enemy is watching in shock. Yang Keshi has led his troops around the enemy's rear quietly. Yao pingzhong attacks with elite armour troops, and the enemy is defeated. The song army captured tens of thousands of camels, cattle and horses, and the enemy chief escaped alone. The song army finally completed the task of building the city. The imperial court also ordered zhongshidao's commander-in-chief Shaanxi and Hedong's seven route soldiers to attack ZangDi City, and stipulated that they must conquer ZangDi city in ten days. After the soldiers of the Song Dynasty came down to the city, they found that the enemy's guard was very strong. A few days later, the officers and soldiers began to be tired. A column school was lazy. He sat on a Hu bed and had a rest. He immediately beheaded him at the army gate and gave an order: "if you don't attack this city today, you are all like him!" They were shocked and clamored to ascend the city, so the city defense collapsed, and the song army captured Zang Di City in eight days. Song Huizong was overjoyed when he got the victory. He was promoted to Shidao, the deputy commander of the bodyguard's Pro army and the Chengxuan envoy of yingdao army.

Go to Liao

Zhongshidao followed Tong Guan as the commander of the capital, and was worshipped as the governor of Baojing army. Tong Guan united with Jin Dynasty to subdue Liao Dynasty, and let the way of zhongshidao cover the generals. He remonstrated: "today's actions, such as robbers entering the neighbor's house, we can't save them. On the contrary, we take advantage of the fire and share the spoils with the robbers. How can we?" Tong Guan didn't listen. After the song army arrived in Baigou, the Liao people clamored forward, and there were many casualties in the song army. Thanks to the Shidao shilling, each of them held a huge stick to defend himself, and the Liao army's armor could not resist the blunt attack, so the song army was not defeated. Liao envoys came to plead: "Nuzhen's betrayal of this dynasty is also abhorred by the Southern Dynasty. Is it wise for your country to abandon a hundred year old friendship and become a neighbor of jackals in order to make a temporary profit? Disaster relief and compassion for our neighbors are the common sense of the past and the present. I hope the big powers will think about it! " Tongguan is speechless. Zhongshidao remonstrated that he should promise Liao envoys to retreat, but Tongguan didn't listen and impeached zhongshidao secretly to help thieves. Angry, Wang ordered zhongshidao to retire as a right-wing general, and replaced him with Liu Yanqing. After Liu Yanqing's defeat in Lugou, Huizong of Song Dynasty thought of zhongshidao again and used him as governor of Xianzhou and governor of Huanzhou. He soon returned to Baojing army as an envoy and retired.

Fighting against Jin Bing

When the people of Jin Dynasty went south, Huizong of Song Dynasty hastily summoned zhongshidao to Beijing, and granted him the right to recruit troops and grain by himself. He was living in seclusion in the Baolin valley of Nanshan Mountain. When he got the order, he immediately went eastward to Yao pingzhong's place and took Yao pingzhong's seven thousand men to go northward. When Chong Shidao arrived in Luoyang, he learned that his troops had already been stationed in the capital. Someone advised him not to go, saying, "the thief is very sharp. I hope you can stay in Sishui for a while to find a panacea." Zhong Shidao said: "our army is small. If we don't move forward and expose the truth, we will only insult ourselves. Now our army is marching forward with a great banner, how can the Jin people measure me? When the army and people in the capital learned that our army was coming, their morale was naturally uplifted. Are they still afraid of the golden thieves? " Zhongshidao posted notices all over the road, claiming that zhongshaobao led millions of Western soldiers to come. The song army arrived at the South Bank of bianshui in the west of the city and made a direct attack on the enemy camp. Fearing, the Jin people moved to the north and restricted their riding activities. They concentrated on building more fortresses in moutuogang to defend themselves. at that time, he had lived a long life and was known as the "old breed" in the world. Song qinzong, who succeeded to the throne, was very glad to hear that he had come. He opened his door and ordered Li Gang, Youcheng, the Minister of state, to welcome him. When he saw this, Emperor qinzong of the Song Dynasty asked, "what do you think of today's affair?" Zhongshidao replied, "Nuzhen doesn't know the art of war. How can she retreat smoothly by going into other people's territory alone?" Song qinzong said, "peace has been made." Zhongshidao then said, "I serve your majesty with military affairs. I dare not understand other things." Emperor qinzong of the Song Dynasty worshipped him as the chief of the Imperial Academy, the Privy Council of Tongzhi, and the Xuanfu envoy of the two rivers in the capital. All the troops were under his command, with Yao pingzhong as the capital. At that time, he was ill. Emperor qinzong of the Song Dynasty told him not to worship and allowed him to enter the court by sedan chair. Wang Wei, the envoy of the state of Jin, was very tough in the Song Dynasty. When he saw that the way of the master was coming, he knelt down slightly in line with the etiquette. Song qinzong said with a smile, "he's like this because of you." Since the siege of the capital, all the gates have been closed, and the common people have no firewood or vegetables to buy. He asked to open the West and South gates to let the common people in and out as usual. Some Jin soldiers were good at beheading Ma Zhongjun, a biased general. Ma Zhong beheaded six of them. The Jin people came to complain and sent them the boundary flag to imitate their self-control. From then on, no one dared to cross the boundary. Zhongshidao also asked to delay the payment of compensation. When the Jin people were slack about their return, they blocked their return and were annihilated in the Yellow River. Li Bangyan, prime minister, naturally disagreed. From the point of view of actual actions, the main fighting faction was preparing to paralyze the Jin people and attack them suddenly, which was not necessarily agreed at that time. Yao Gu, the father of Yao pingzhong, led Xihe soldiers to the aid, and the strength of the song army increased. Yao pingzhong was worried that the Zhongs would take over all his official positions and fame. He reported that the generals and soldiers were all rubbing their hands, but the zhongshidao was not allowed to fight. Li Gang then ordered his troops to listen to Yao pingzhong's command. Song qinzong did not mention peace any more. He sent envoys every day to urge zhongshidao to fight. Zhongshidao is ready to wait for his younger brother zhongshizhong to lead the army to arrive. He thinks it will be after the spring equinox before he can attack the Jin people. At that time, it was only eight days before the equinox. But song qinzong, who couldn't wait to fight, secretly decided to rob the camp in the middle of the night with Yao pingzhong. He wanted to capture the king of Kang alive. In the middle of the night, the eunuch sent an urgent order to Li Gang, saying, "Yao pingzhong has already done something. You should go to support him immediately." After Yao pingzhong failed to rob the camp, he left and the Western soldiers broke up. The history books do not mention Li Gang's night action, but only mention that Li Gang led his troops out of the city in the morning to repel the Jin soldiers, but the Jin people and the moderates believe that Li Gang should also be responsible for robbing the camp. Song qinzong put the blame on Li Gang and Yao pingzhong. Li Bangyan regained his power and advocated the compensation for the land cut. It was useless to cultivate the teacher's morality. The moderates dismissed Li Gang and flattered the Jin people. The students and hundreds of thousands of people in the capital worried about the safety of the moderates and petitioned in front of the Imperial Palace, asking to see zhongshidao and Li Gang. On the one hand, Emperor qinzong reinstated Li Gang; on the other hand, he urged the army to suppress him. When he arrived by bus, the crowd lifted the car curtain and saw him, saying, "it's really my kind of adult." They all saluted and then dispersed. When Jin people saw that Li Gang was reinstated, they did not dare to go deep into the army alone, and they were formally promised to cede the territory by the Song Dynasty
