Life of the characters

At the age of 10, Liu Ziyu was proficient in classics and history. At the age of 11, he lived in the military with his father, Liu Kai, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty. Frequent wars, he abandoned the text of martial arts, "the heat and cold, will be clear in the morning with a single shirt, into the teaching workshop to learn shooting arrow 300." As a young man, he was proficient in military strategy and excellent in martial arts.

In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115) of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Ziyu was a general official (equivalent to Jiupin). He was appointed as a pacifier in the army and wrote appropriate characters to help manage state affairs.

In 1120, Fang La led an uprising to attack Yuezhou. Liu Ziyu participated in the suppression of the peasant uprising army, and was appointed Taifu book, moved to Wei Cheng (equivalent to Qipin), and promoted to Wei Si Cheng.

In the early days of Jingkang, Jin Shuai took Yanshan Prefecture and county (now southwest of Beijing), plundered Xiang and Wuer prefecture (now Linzhang and Zhushu in Hebei Province), and attacked Liyang (now Southeast of Junxian county). Song Shoujun was terrified by the news, and the Jin soldiers drove straight in. Liu Ziyu's tune is to keep Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei). In the winter of that year, the Jin soldiers came. Liu Ziyu held fast for several months, repulsed the Jin soldiers, and then promoted to the court with military merit to ask for a doctor. Emperor qinzong of the Song Dynasty, praised for his loyalty and bravery, transferred the upper reaches of the Bianhe River (now the Suohe River in the southwest of Xingyang, Henan Province), and restrained the southern invasion of Jin soldiers. Jinren Chengzhen set the defense and went to the capital. Liu Ziyu's father, Liu Kai, died in the disaster of Jingkang. He helped the coffin to his hometown and vowed to die together with the Jin soldiers.

In the third year of Jianyan (1129) of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Ziyu was appointed as the Chief Secretary of Chizhou (now Anhui). He wrote: "on the world's military situation, we should take Qinlong (Shaanxi, Gansu) as the foundation." He changed the compilation of Jiying hall to Qinzhou. Before he took office, he was transferred to the post of counselor and privy Secretary of the imperial camp of Jiankang. At that time, fan Qiong, the governor who elected Zhang bangchang to take the throne, held his own weight and threatened the imperial court. After Zhang Jun and Liu Ziyu discussed together, fan Qiong was cut off and the Department was reorganized. When Zhang Jun was appointed as the Xuanfu system envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, he asked Liu Ziyu to participate in the military affairs and ordered him to go to Qinzhou to make the five route troops and establish the military general regulations, which greatly boosted the military power. Liu Ziyu took control of the headquarters and successively recovered land lost in Yan'an, Jinning, Linfu, Lufang, Gongxian and other prefectures and counties. Due to his outstanding military achievements, he was promoted to huiyouge.

In the fourth year of Jianyan, the Jin soldiers invaded the south. Zhang Jun plans to dispatch more than 400000 troops from the five Route Army to fight against Jin Bing. However, Liu Ziyu thought that it was difficult for the song army to carry out joint operations, and it was the best policy for him to garrison troops. Zhang Jun insisted on his own opinion, separated Tongzhou and Luzhou, drove his troops southward to Fuping (southwest of Qingyang, Gansu Province). The two song armies met, and the soldiers and generals were not coordinated. The Jin soldiers took the opportunity to conquer the city and land, and xuanfusi withdrew from baoxingzhou (today's Lueyang, Shaanxi). People's morale was lax. Some people advocated retreating to Kuizhou (today's Fengjie, Wuxi, Chongqing). Liu Ziyu weighed the gains and losses, and insisted on sticking to the wall and waiting for action. Zhang Jun agreed that Liu Ziyu was ordered to return to Qinzhou, where he recruited hundreds of thousands of scattered soldiers and sent Wu Li to guard Dashan pass and monk yuan, Wu shigu to garrison Xihe (now Lintao, Gansu), and sun Wo and Jia Shifang to guard Jiecheng and fengsanzhou to block the way of Jin soldiers. So Jin Bing did not dare to invade. At that time, because of years of war, Hanzhong famine, Liu Ziyu transferred Hanzhong. When he took office, he "switched on and off trade, transported millet, bowed to good neighbors, ordered soldiers and trained soldiers, and dealt with danger to the enemy", which won the support of the army and the people.

In the first year of Shaoxing (1131), Jin soldiers invaded dashangguan. Liu Ziyu led three hundred song troops to set up a defense in tandu mountain and defend Sanquan. After a long time, Jin Bing had to withdraw from the division. After that, general salihe moved to attack Fengxiang, but because Liu Ziyu had long deployed a strong wall and clear the country, Jin's soldiers faced the empty city and got nothing. He sent 10 envoys to persuade Liu Ziyu to surrender, and nine of them were killed. Liu Ziyu was determined to fight against Jin. He united with Wu Li and used guerrilla tactics against Jin Bing. Jin Bing was so tired that he had to order to withdraw. Song soldiers pursued and killed many jin soldiers, and recovered Jin, Jun and Fang States one after another. Liu Ziyu guarded the Yuan government. Zhu SHENGFEI, a treacherous minister, slandered the emperor of Song Dynasty and falsely accused Zhang Jun of his mistakes in unifying the army. Zhang Shi was demoted and Liu Ziyu was demoted to Baizhou (now Bobai County, recorded in the annals of Bobai County in 1832). Later, on the recommendation of Wu fan and other officials, Liu Ziyu promoted the Taiping view of Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province), returned to Huiyou Pavilion and changed to Quanzhou, Fujian Province. At that time, Quanzhou was an important port for overseas trade, and its government affairs were heavy. Liu Ziyu was clean and honest, attached great importance to the education of the people, and devoted himself to the development of schools. He renovated the former deserted old school hall, which was "thoroughly and newly established, with the scale of the hall, slightly following the Imperial College, and is now the view of central Fujian.".

In the 11th year of Shaoxing, Liu Ziyu was a pacifier along the Yangtze River and a magistrate of Zhenjiang. At this time, the Jin people broke the contract and threatened to invade the south. He united the army and the people, devoted himself to fighting against the Jin Dynasty, strengthened the wall and cleared away the wilderness, and moved the people of huaidong to Jingkou, where the army and the people lived together, with no invasion, and the border was stable. At that time, the Lord of Jin sent people to negotiate peace along the south of the Yangtze River, and the flag of "Jiangnan Fuyu" was displayed on the ship. Liu Ziyu was very angry with the insulting practice of the envoy of Jin. He sent troops to pull out the flag, and was allowed to return the flag after leaving Zhenjiang. This led to the hatred of the capitulationists, who first ordered him to resume his post and then dismissed him. Liu Ziyu was 45 years old.

After returning to Li, Liu Ziyu was indifferent to his fame and devoted himself to the mountains and waters. He once toured Wuyi Mountain and saw Zhong Mo Shi in Qiqu Langyan. He felt that the rock like a chime bell could feel the frost and accompany the immortal song bin Yun Qu, and the golden bell could sound for a long time to warn against Jin. So he wrote a unique poem titled Zhong Mo Shi

Who casts three bell Luan milk shape, does not need the bamboo shoot Yu to be able to sing.

Xianjun wants to play the music of binyun. He only feels the frost and makes his voice.

When Liu Ziyu lived in seclusion in wufuli, his hometown, he set up a school, raised and educated young Zhu Xi, and built Ziyang building for him as his living and learning place. Liu Ziyu died of illness in Shaoxing in the 16th year. Zhu Xi wrote two elegiac poems: "heaven is the source of economy and fiber industry, family is the source of loyalty and culture, the source of wisdom and wisdom is the source of the country, the source of honor is deep, the wind and cloud of langmiao is broken, the river and lake are invaded by time, the body is exhausted in one dynasty, and the nine herdsmen are in touch with the soul together"; and "after a long time, the body is useless, and there is nothing to be desired before thinking.". How can I expect my boss to be sad again. Tears to the letter, heart with the rest of the grass. If you do not die, your temples will become frost! " In the fifth year of Chunxi reign (1178), Zhu Xi was entrusted by Liu Gong, the Marquis of Pengcheng, to write and write Shinto inscriptions for Liu Ziyu, his deceased father and a famous anti Jin general. The monument to the God of Liu Gong still exists today, and it is one of the most famous monuments in Fujian Province

Historical records

Liu Ziyu, whose name is Yanxiu, was born in Chong'an, and the eldest son of the Bachelor of zizhengdian. At the end of Xuanhe period, he was in command of eastern Zhejiang Province. Ziyu assisted his father with the skillful writing in charge, broke down the bandits and moved to yamen Wei Cheng. He kept the truth, and Ziyu followed. It's going to be gold. Father and son vowed to stick to each other, the Jin people can not pull away, so it is well-known. In order to reach the prime minister with books and discuss the military situation in the world, we should take Qin and long as the foundation.

In the third year of Jianyan's reign, general fan Qiong had a strong army in Jiangxi. He called for the Buddha to come, but he refused to release his troops. Knowing the Privy Council Affairs, Zhang Jun conspired with Ziyu to punish him. One day, Zhang Jun was ordered to cross the river with thousands of soldiers. If he was prepared to steal, all the envoys would come. Because he called Jun, Qiong and Liu Guangshi to the capital hall to discuss affairs, he set up food and drink, but the princes didn't pay attention to each other. When Ziyu sat down in the veranda, he was afraid of Qiong's feeling. He took the yellow paper and stepped forward to command Qiong. He said, "next, there are imperial edicts. The general can be accomplished in Dali." Qiong does not know what to do, Ziyu Gu about embracing Yu, Wei to Jun soldiers, sent to prison. In the Guangshi era, the emperor stroked his people. In the besieged city, Shuqiong attached the Jin people and forced the two emperors to go hunting. And said: "to kill qionger, you and other solid emperor from the general of the army." All the people cast their swords and said, "promise." There is a decree to divide the five armies under the imperial camp, which will be decided in an instant. Joan was in danger. This is a wonderful material.

Xunxuan pacified Sichuan and Shaanxi, and piziyu participated in military affairs. In Qinzhou, he set up the shogunate and saved five generals. After five years, he graduated. Next year, the Jin people will see the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in an urgent way. They will try their best to defend the weak and forbid the weak. They will try their best to break up the situation of their troops, so they will join the forces of the five routes to advance. Ziyu's plan is not based on his own, but on his own.

Ziyu chided the official who had a plan to move to Kuizhou: "you can kill a child! Sichuan is in full swing. The enemy has been trying to invade the area for a long time, but he didn't dare to see the danger of iron mountain and plank road. If we don't stick to it now, even if we go deep into it, but I'm far away from Kui and gorge, and I don't know about the support of Guanzhong. If we don't advance or retreat, how can we regret it. Why is that? "Junran Ziyu said.

Next year, the Jin people will gather forces to attack, and then they will be defeated by Wu Jie. When he moved to Langzhou, Ziyu asked him to stay alone in the river and pool to protect the generals, so as to provide support from inside and outside. Next year, Wang Yan will be stationed in Jinzhou with Jin, Jun and Fang Fu envoys. Two towns are hungry, Xingyuan Shuai minister closed buy, two towns sick. Both Jie and Yan were willing to get Ziyu to guard Hanzhong. Junnai inherited Ziyu's position as an economic envoy of Lizhou road and knew Xingyuan mansion. When Ziyu came to Hanzhong, he exported millet through trade, and the two towns were in Suian.
