A famous teacher instructs young people to grow up

Fang Qiong has a good family background and has received a good education since childhood. She has learned both literature and martial arts from a famous teacher. Fang Qiong's poems and Fu have been criticized by Su Shi, Huang Tingjian (father Fang Lin's friends of the same age) and other famous scholars. Fang Qiong is intelligent, but as a teenager, she was active and naughty. Her grandfather Fang Baiyun loved her grandson very much. He not only handed over his "Military Studies" compiled many years ago to his grandson, but also took Fang Qiong to visit some famous martial arts experts and often went to the imperial boxing Hall to observe them. Fang Qiong's uncle Fang Yu is also a martial arts man, and Fang Qiong has some advice on practicing martial arts. But the father was very opposed to his son's martial arts practice, because the Song Dynasty was very strict with Qiong, and the tutor whip was always hanging in the hall. In 1087 A.D., Fang Qiong was 19 years old.

In the sixth year of Yuanyou (1091 A.D.), he was a Jinshi at the age of 23. The main examinee is classics, poetry and Fu. Fang Qiong and Ma Juan, Zhu Er, Zhang Jianting, Zongze, Huang shuao (Fenning people, today Xiushui) and others were also on the list. Fang Qiong and Zong Ze wrote a long book denouncing the shortcomings of national defense, agriculture and bureaucrats. Zong Ze was ranked first from the bottom of the list of Jinshi, and Fang Qiong was ranked second, both of whom were granted official posts. In the capital, Zongze, Fang Qiong and Zhou were friends. Fang Qiong was given the post of county magistrate of Guantao County, Zejing East Road, and the post of county magistrate of Xingyuan prefecture (now Shaanxi Province) and Hezhong prefecture (now Shanxi Province). Fang Qiong didn't take the post. Her grandfather Fang Baiyun died (at the age of 92). She followed her father Fang Lin to keep filial piety in zimuli, Tongcheng County, Jinghu North Road.

From 1095 to 1099, Fang Qiong visited the famous mountains and lakes in Ezhou, Hongzhou, Tanzhou, Yuezhou, Junzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xiangzhou, and other places, as well as the famous civil and military figures in the world, such as Huang Tingjian, Li Qingzhao (female), Zhou Bangyan, Li Zhiyi, Zhou Tong, Zongze, etc.

Served as Minister of the Ministry of war

In the second year of Yuanfu (1099 AD), Fang Qiong took office in Xiangzhou Prefecture of Hebei West Road and Chenzhou Prefecture of Beijing northwest road, and later was promoted to Shizhong, Zhongshu Sheren, and doctor of the Ministry of industry. Huizongzhenghe six years (AD 1118) as the Ministry of war to Lang, huizongxuanhe two years (AD 1120), Fang Qiong as the Ministry of war minister. In fact, the Ministry of war in the Song Dynasty did not have much real power. It was mainly to draft some barracks documents, exchange between grain and grass, reward the middle and lower arms, train the new army and so on. Su Shi, who was once the Minister of the Ministry of war for a short time, once said that this position had no right: "the military election was subordinate to the heavenly officials, and the military administration was always subordinate to the pivot, so the post of Sima was only saved in the documents." In other words, the actual military power belongs to the Privy Council.

Fang Qiong was in charge of the military department. Although she had the ambition to serve the country, she was constrained by the system and institutional setting at that time: "within the capital, there were pro Guard soldiers, while outside the four cities, there were battalions facing each other. The internal and external forces of the capital were like this. There are 100000 people in yuntun in the camp of Fuji, whose generals are subordinate to those in the three routes. They are the soldiers of Yujing city and the whole world, and they are controlled inside and outside the Fuji. Otherwise, all the soldiers in the world are controlled by internal and external forces. " The pro guards were under the command of the emperor, and they were also the largest Corps in the Northern Song Dynasty. The barracks were second only to the pro guards, and the government also set up barracks.

Fang Qiong, who was in the Ministry of arms, repeatedly proposed a series of strong military programs, such as strengthening military training, establishing fast and fierce cavalry battalions, long and accurate bow and arrow battalions, strengthening border defense, and reusing young officers. It played a certain role in the war of northern Liao, the surrender of Songjiang, the promotion of young officers. Fang Qiong only served as Minister of the Ministry of war for more than a year. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, when she was seriously ill, she still ensured the "sober" operation of the Ministry of war.

Visit friend Zhou Tong and present book to Yue Fei

Fang Qiong paid another visit to Zhou Tong, a famous martial arts master in Xiangzhou Prefecture, Hebei West Road, when she was in the Ministry of war. Zhou Tong, whose name is Guangzu (1040-1119), was born in Tongguan, Huazhou, Shaanxi Province. He was known as "Zhou Tong with iron arm, a great Xia of Shaanxi Province". When he was young, he practiced martial arts. He was known as the descendant of Jiang Wei of the Three Kingdoms. He practiced both civil and martial arts. Later, he was taught by Tan Zhengfang, a martial arts teacher of Shaolin school. He once served as a coach in the imperial boxing Hall of the capital and strongly advocated fighting against the Liao and Jin Dynasties. When he was old, he resigned and served as an assistant in Liu Guangshi barracks of Xiangzhou Prefecture.

Fang Qiong had visited Mr. Zhou many times in the imperial boxing Hall of the capital, and he and Zongze were friends. This time, she came to consult Liu Guangshi and Mr. Zhou about new army training, food supply, border defense and other issues.

Knowing that his time is running out, Zhou Tongzhi recommends his adopted son Yue Fei to his good friend Fang Qiong. Fang Qiong is very fond of Yue Fei, who is only 16 years old. He intended to recommend him to the military camp, but Yue Fei is still young, so he has to wait until he finishes his martial arts and join the army to serve his country. Fang Qiong presented to Yue Fei several military books such as the seven books of Wu Jing and his grandfather Fang Baiyun's manuscript of marching and array. A few months after Fang Qiong returned to Beijing, Zhou Tong died.

Fang Laping rewards Han Shizhong

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the northern Liao Dynasty was in trouble outside, and dozens of civil commotions took place in all parts of the country, among which the most influential one was muzhou fangla. This year was probably the busiest time in Fang Qiong's life. The war reports from all over the country, such as snow flakes, flew into the Ministry of war. On the one hand, they collated the intelligence of all over the country, on the other hand, they provided tactical explanation reference for the war situation of all over the country, and then submitted to the Privy Council. At the same time, they also provided combat readiness and transportation, such as grain, such as bows and arrows, horses and so on.

Fangla successively captured Qingxi, muzhou, Shexian, Tonglu, Fuyang, Hangzhou and other places.

At this time, more than 100 people gathered in Liangshan, huanggai and Songjiang to set up a village to make trouble. Fangla was a big evil, Songjiang was a small evil. FangQiong and others forced to coerce and lure Songjiang and other small evils first, and concentrated on destroying fangla. The plan of the Ministry of war was reported to the Privy Council, and six troops, including Tan Zhen, Wang Chen, Xin Xingzhong, and Yang Weizhong, were gathered to attack in many aspects. Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Haizhou, recruited the rebellious people of Song Jiang and used them by the imperial court.

Song Jiang's Department assisted Wang Chen's department in calming Fang La's elite troops stationed in Hangzhou city and capturing Fang Qi fo alive. Song jiangbu lost money in the battle
