Han Yong was born on November 9, the 20th year of Yongle (November 22, 1422). His father, Han GUI, was originally from Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture, nanzhili city (< I > now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province < / I >) and later moved to Wanping County, Beijing because he was a "rich man". Therefore, Han Yong started as a disciple of shuntianfu school in his early years.

In the seventh year of Zhengtong (1442), Han Yongdeng, a 20-year-old Jinshi, was granted the title of censor. He studied criminal cases in Nanji. He also went out to inspect River affairs. Soon after, when he went to Jiangxi for inspection, 57 corrupt officials were removed. Han Yong also sent troops to hunt and kill Luling and Taihe.

In the winter of the 13th year of Zhengtong (1448), ye Zong, a rebel in Chuzhou, stayed in Fujian and turned to Jiangxi. After the defeat of the army, Chen Ying, the governor and Liu Zhen, died. Zhu Qi, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, ordered Han Yong and Yang Ning to urge the army and the people to defend together. It happened that Wang Cheng, the governor of Fujian Province, sent a letter to his neighbor to join in the fight against Deng Maoqi, the Fujian rebel. Because the rebels discussed surrender and the officers and soldiers stopped military action, Han Yong said, "it's not too late for the bandits to surrender and retreat." Wang Cheng was sentenced to death because of the rebellion. People admire Han Yong for his insight.

In 1451, Han Yong was promoted to Deputy envoy of Guangdong Province. Chen Xun, a bachelor, recommended Han Yong as the censor of youjindu in duchayuan, replacing Yang Ning as governor of Jiangxi Province. When the year of Jiangxi was not successful, Han Yongshang asked for the people to be exempted from offering autumn grain, and impeached King Ning for his illegal activities, which made all officials of King Ning's mansion guilty. At this time, Han Yongcai was about 30 years old, but he was very proud. The measures he formulated could be followed by later generations.

Several ups and downs

In the early years of Tianshun (1457-1464), the imperial court abolished all the governors, and Han Yong was appointed Deputy envoy of Shanxi Province. Because of the previous resentment, King Ning impeached Han Yong to ride in a sedan chair without permission, and Han Yong was arrested, jailed and removed from his official post.

Later, Han Yong was appointed as Shaoqing of Dali, and soon restored to the position of censor of youjindu to assist Kou Shen in managing the affairs of duchayuan. After Shi Heng was convicted and killed, Liu Jing, the commander of royal guards, was convicted of providing food for Shi Heng's room on duty and sentenced to death by applying the law of friends. Han Yong said: "the reason why the law heavily punishes the crime of clique is that it colludes with and disturbs the government. If people supply food, it is the crime of clique. Which is the original intention of the law? Besides, when Shi Heng was in his prime, the minister would not be convicted, but only Liu Jing. Why Kou Shen admired Han Yong and Liu Jing was released. After Han Yong's mother died, he was still in mourning, and was restored by the imperial court.

In 1460, Han Yong was ordered to patrol Xuanfu and Datong. In the seventh year of Tianshun (1463), Han Yong went to Beijing to meet Zhu Qi town. When Zhu Qizhen saw that he was extraordinary, he left him as the right servant of the military department in the middle of the dynasty.

In 1464, Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne. In order to exclude Han Yong and others, Chen Wen, a cabinet minister, alleges that Qian Pu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, linked up with Wang Lun in the eastern palace in an attempt to replace Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and replaced Ma ang, the Minister of the Ministry of war, with Han Yong. Li Xian was furious at the news and demoted Han Yong to Zhejiang Zuo Shenzheng.

In the fourth year of Tianshun (1460), the ethnic minorities led by Yao people in Datengxia, Guangxi Province, broke into Guangdong many times to plunder, and once approached Guangzhou city. However, the Yao rebellion in Datengxia, led by Hou Dagou, affected more and more areas, and reached an uncontrollable stage. In the first month of the first year of Chenghua (1465), the imperial court decided to take large-scale military action, worshipping Zhao Fu as the commander-in-chief, and sending eunuchs Lu Yong and Chen Heng as the supervisors. Wang Hongli, the Minister of the Ministry of war, said: "Han Yong is very talented. He is the only one who can pacify the thieves." Emperor Xianzong then appointed Han Yong as the censor of zuojindu and praised military affairs.

Han Yong galloped to Nanjing on horseback and called together the generals to discuss strategies. Before that, Qiu Jun, the editor of the Imperial Academy, wrote a letter to Li Xian, saying that the rebels in Guangdong should be driven away, while those in Guangxi should be besieged. The army should be stationed in Datang gorge to control its entrance and exit and destroy the crops of the rebels. It is expected that the rebellion will be ended in one or two years. Li Xian appreciated the plan and presented the letter to Zhu Jianshen, who issued an imperial edict to copy it down for the generals to read. All the generals advocated that the plan should be carried out. They requested that guerrilla generals and brave troops should be sent to lead the Da army to Guangdong, while the army went all the way to Guangxi to fight the rebellion. Han Yong said: "the thieves have spread thousands of miles, and everywhere they fight with them, which makes them tired. The whole army should directly attack Datang gorge, so that the South can support Gaozhou, Zhaoqing, Leizhou and Lianzhou. In the East, it can join Nanxiong and Shaozhou; in the west, it can capture Liuzhou and Qingyuan; in the north, it can cut off the roads of Yangdong. First and last, attack its hinterland, the nest has been overturned, the rest can be easily solved. If we abandon this and do not seek it, we will be divided into four groups. The thieves will flee more quickly and the counties will be destroyed more. This is the same as fighting a fire with a strong wind. " Zhao Fu also believed that Han Yong's ability was enough to defeat the rebels, and he handed over all his military plans to him.

Han Yong and others went straight to Quanzhou day and night, defeated the Yangdong Miao people who plundered Xing'an, and arrived in Guilin. They would miss the commander of the plane, Li Ying and other four people, and beheaded them in public. Han Yong held his hand on the map and discussed with the generals, saying: "the thieves take xiuren and Lipu as wings, so they should first attack these two counties to isolate the thieves." So he led 160000 soldiers to attack the rebels in xiuren County in five ways. He chased them to Lishan, captured more than 1200 people and beheaded 7300 people. Later, Lipu was also pacified.

In October, Han Yong arrived in Xunzhou and inquired about the local elders. They all said, "the great Teng gorge is a natural danger. We can't attack it by force. We should plan to encircle it." Han Yong said, "the great Teng gorge stretches for more than 600 Li. How can it be besieged? When can the thief be pacified! I have a plan We'll drive to the mouth of the gorge. There were ten Confucians and senior Li people on the left side of the road, willing to serve as guides. When Han Yong saw them, he immediately scolded, "how dare you cheat me!" He ordered the left and right sides to tie him up and behead him. Both sides were very surprised. The sharp knife in the sleeve is sometimes found in the binding. After interrogation, it turns out that it is the rebels. After being killed, they are all dismembered, their intestines and stomach are dug out, and they are hung in the bamboo forest in a string. The rebels were surprised and said, "Han Gong is a God." Han Yong ordered chief officer Ou Xin and others to divide into five sentries, attacking the north from Xiangzhou and Wuxuan; he and Zhao Fu both commanded Bai Quan and others to divide into eight sentries, attacking the south from Guiping and Pingnan; general Sun Zhen and others divided into two sentries, coming in by water; in addition, he assigned troops to guard the dangerous places. Terrified, Hou Dagou and others first transferred the assets of his family members to Hengshitang, Guizhou, and erected a fence in Nanshan, preparing many rolling logs, stones, javelins, and poisoned bows and arrows to resist the army.

On the first day of December, Han Yong led all the troops to march on land and on water, climbing mountains with a round shield, fighting to the death, successively attacking the nests of Shimen, Lintong, Shatian and guying, burning their houses and accumulating them. The rebels all ran and were defeated. Cutting wood to open the way, straight to Hengshitang and nine storey buildings. The rebels put up several more layers of fence to resist by virtue of the high terrain. Han Yong personally led the troops to climb the vine through the trees. In addition, he sent strong men up the path to occupy the top of the mountain and hit the thieves with guns. The rebels were overwhelmed. The Ming army successively destroyed 324 gate villages, captured 780 Hou Dagou and his accomplices alive, beheaded more than 3200 people, fell into the water and drowned countless people. There is a big rattan like rainbow in Datang gorge, crisscrossing between the two cliffs. Han Yong cut off the big rattan with an axe and renamed it Duanteng gorge. He carved stones to record his merits and returned. After the battle of Datang gorge, Han Yong divided his forces to attack the remaining rebel parties and recovered Yulin, Yangjiang, Luorong and Bobai one after another.

Governor of Guangdong and Guangdong

After hearing the news, Xianzong was overjoyed, issued an imperial edict to commend the contributions, recalled Zhao Fu and others, and promoted Han Yong to be the censor of the left Deputy capital and governor of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi. Han Yong demobilized his troops in order to save money, while Hou zheng'ang, the rest of the rebel army, took advantage of Xu to conquer Xunzhou and Luorong and Beiliu counties. After Han Yong was impeached, he pleaded guilty and was pardoned by the emperor Xianzong, which made Han Yong try his best to fight the rebellion. At this time, rebellions rose all over the country, and Sinan, Xunzhou, Pennsylvania and Liucheng were harassed and looted. When the thieves fled to Guangdong, Qinzhou and Huazhou were immediately captured.

In the spring of the fourth year of Chenghua (1468), Han Yong requested to set up a governor in Guangdong and the West because of the great events in Guangdong and the West
