Yue Fei led his army against whose aggression.

In April of the second year of Jingkang (1127), Jin Bing captured Emperor Hui and Qin, his empresses and imperial clan to the north. At that time, only Zhao Gou, the King of Kang who organized military forces in Hebei, and Meng Shi, the first imperial clan in the Song Dynasty, survived. In May of the second year of Jingkang, Zhao Gou acceded to the throne in Nanjing Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), and changed the second year of Jingkang to the first year of Jianyan, which was for Song Gaozong. Historically, the Song Dynasty after Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne was called the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 AD), and its capital was later set in Lin 'an (Hangzhou).

Zhao Gou was the leader of the capitulators in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Like his father and brother (Hui and Qin), he was afraid of fighting with the Jin Dynasty, and he tried to keep the emperor's power. Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, whom Zhao Gou trusted, were also people who advocated running away and kneeling down. In order to win the hearts of the people, he once used Li Gang, who had a high reputation for organizing the defense of Kaifeng, as prime minister. Soon after, because Li Gang resolutely fought the main battle, it did not meet his will to negotiate peace. He only served as the prime minister for 75 days, and he was just the official of Li Gang. In September of the first year of Jianyan, Zhao Gou heard that the rulers had invaded Heyang again on the pretext that the puppet Zhang Bangchang had been abolished, and he immediately prepared to flee south without asking whether the news was true. He set out from Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan) in early October and fled to Yangzhou at the end of the month. In December, the rulers split up and headed south. Yan Hong Zongfu led the Eastern Jin Army to cross the river from Cangzhou to attack Shandong, Yan Hong Zonghan led the Middle Jin Army to cross the river from Heyang to attack Henan, and the Western Jin Army was led by Lou Shi sent by Yan Hong Zongwang to attack Shaanxi.

In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Jin Jun attacked Yangzhou in February, and Song Gaozong fled hastily and went to Hangzhou via Zhenjiang. In September, Jin Bing crossed the south of the Yangtze River to invade, and Zhao Gou led his servants to flee south. In October, he went to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province), then fled to Mingzhou (now Ningbo), and from Mingzhou to Dinghai

In September this year, Jin made Liu Yu the "Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty", established a puppet regime, ruled most of Henan and Shaanxi, and confronted the Southern Song Dynasty. In the face of the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, although the supreme ruler of the Southern Song Dynasty pursued the policy of kneeling down and surrendering, people from all over the Song Dynasty rose up to fight against the brutal plunder of the Jin Army, and the main battle soldiers within the Song Dynasty were also active in the forefront of resisting the Jin Dynasty. Such as Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wu, Wu Lin, Liu Qi, etc., they fought against the nomads from all over the country and recovered some lost land. In the meantime, Song Jun fought many major battles, such as the battle of Huang Tiandang in Han Shizhong, and rejected 1, troops of Jin Wushu for 48 days with 8, manpower; Liu Qi Shunchang triumph, with less than twenty thousand people defeated the army of Jin Wushu more than ten thousand. Others, such as the Battle of Monk Yuan, the Battle of Immortal Pass, and the Battle of Great Instrument, etc., all the generals made Jin Bing suffer, which greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians in the Song Dynasty. Among the generals who fought against gold in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's attitude towards the war of resistance was the most resolute, with the greatest achievements and contributions, but his ending was also the most tragic.

marching north

in the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), Yue Fei was ordered to March north from Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei Province) to Xiangyang (now Xiangfan, Hubei Province) and launched a fierce attack on the defenders of the puppet Qi regime. It took only two or three months to recover Xiangyang, Yunzhou (now Zhongxiang, Hubei Province) and Suizhou (now Suixian, Hubei Province) as scheduled. This is the first time that a large area of lost land has been recovered since the establishment of political power in the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Yue Fei, who was only 32 years old, was appointed as our envoy and became the youngest and most promising general in the Southern Song Dynasty. Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, who fought with the vicissitudes of life and made meritorious military service repeatedly, and Liu Guangshi, who was a great general for a long time, were called the four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty. The "Yue Jiajun" led by him was deeply loved by the people because of its strict discipline and outstanding military achievements, and became a mainstay of the anti-gold struggle in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Emperor's Peace

Due to the heroic struggle of the soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty, by the fourth year of Jian Yan (113), the power balance between the Song and Jin Dynasties began to change greatly. First, Han Shizhong defeated Jin Wushu in Huangtiandang (now the northeast of Nanjing, Jiangsu); In the battlefield of Shaanxi, Wu Jun and Wu Lin brothers also dealt a heavy blow to Jin Wushu and forced him to give up his plan to enter Sichuan from Shaanxi. Yue Fei hit the puppet troops in Jinghu first line and recovered the six states troops in Xiangyang, which kept the defense line in the northwest battlefield in smooth contact with the front line of Huai River and strengthened the defense force in the Southern Song Dynasty. In September of the fourth year of Shaoxing, Jin Wushu led the army and the pseudo-Qi army to invade Huainan on a large scale, and was bravely resisted by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, who led many volunteers in Song Jun and Huaihai, and soon ended in failure. All this shows that the situation of the battlefield in Song and Jin Dynasties has changed in favor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the military affairs of the Nomads are gradually disappearing. Even the Jin people themselves realize that "I was strong and weak in the past, and now I am weak and strong". Therefore, the tart and lazy faction in the Jinting advocated that Henan and Shaanxi, which were under the jurisdiction of the pseudo-Qi Dynasty, should be transferred to the Southern Song Dynasty, in exchange for the submission of the Southern Song Dynasty, and decided to make peace with the Southern Song Dynasty. When the news reached Song Ting, Song Gaozong was overjoyed and thought that the "peace talks" that he had been looking forward to for many years had hope again. In the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), in March, Song Gaozong appointed Qin Gui as the right-hand man, and in October, he handed over the matter of bowing to Kim to his charge, and other ministers were not allowed to participate. Qin Gui was a notorious traitor in the history of China, and Song Gaozong colluded with him. In the first month of the ninth year of Shaoxing, he made a peace agreement with the rulers and paid tribute to them. To this end, the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty also celebrated great events, and civil and military officials went to the table to celebrate.

Song Gaozong and Qin Gui's surrender for peace aroused strong opposition from the soldiers of Song Ting's Anti-Japanese War faction. Yue Fei not only failed to present a congratulatory table to Song Gaozong as usual, but said to Song Gaozong on the table that "I am willing to make a total victory, take over my land in the two rivers in the future, and finally want revenge and serve my country, and swear to the world, which still makes me kowtow to be called a vassal", which fundamentally denied the peace agreement. Yue Fei's attitude of resolutely opposing "peace talks". Make Song Gaozong very angry, more teeth by Qin Gui, from now on by Song Gaozong and Qin Gui as a thorn in the side. In July and August of the ninth year of Shaoxing, internal strife occurred in Jin Ting, and the original owner Zhang Tong was lazy in making peace with Song Dynasty. Jin Ting was executed for treason, and he took control of Depth Charge's martial arts in the Song War. He immediately tore up the "peace talks" concluded with the Southern Song Dynasty, and in May of the tenth year of Shaoxing (114), he divided his troops and attacked Shaanxi and Henan on a large scale. After quickly retaking Henan and Shaanxi, he led an army to attack Huainan on a large scale. At this moment, Song Gaozong panicked again, and quickly ordered Yue Fei, who had resigned and kept his mother at home, to attack from Xiangyang, to contain the nomads from Huainan and Shaanxi, and to "recover the capital (Kaifeng)". However, the Jin Bing who attacked Huainan was severely hit by the original "eight-character army" led by Liu You in Shunchang (now Fuyang, Anhui), and Jin Wushu had to withdraw to Kaifeng. The threat of nomads from Huainan was quickly lifted. Song Gaozong also immediately changed his mind and immediately ordered Yue Fei to "move the soldiers lightly, and move the troops appropriately". Yue Fei thought it was now or never, so he marched north to the Central Plains, recovered Zhengzhou and Xijing Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan Province) respectively, and sent Liang Xing to the north of the Yellow River to harass the rear of 8 Jin Army. Jin Wushu took advantage of the scattered forces of Yue Jiajun and led 15, elite cavalry to attack Yancheng (now Henan), the command center of Yue Jiajun.

Jin Bing suffered a crushing defeat

In the 1th year of Shaoxing (114), on the 8th day of July, Jin Wushu led his troops to confront Yue Jiajun in Yancheng, and Yue Fei ordered his son Yue Yun to attack the enemy lines with a light horse. Jin Jun dispatched heavily armored cavalry "Tiefu Tu" for frontal attack, and took cavalry as the left and right wings, known as "Kidnapper Horse" to cooperate with the operation. Yue Fei sent back his pro-army and You Yijun to fight, and sent infantry with hemp knives, axes, etc. to cut down enemy soldiers and horses' feet, killing a large number of nomads, so that his heavy cavalry could not give full play to its strengths. Yang Zaixing, a brave general in the Yue family army, broke into the enemy lines and planned to capture Jin Wushu alive and kill hundreds of nomads from the army. The two sides fought fiercely from afternoon to dark, and 8 Jin Army was defeated. The Battle of Yancheng was a decisive battle between the elite troops of the Song and Jin Dynasties. Song Jun defeated more with less, which dealt a heavy blow to the Jin Army. Then Yue Jiajun fought Jin Wushu in Yingchang House and fled in a panic, and pursued it to Zhuxian Town, which is only forty-five miles away from Bianjing. At this time, many righteous soldiers in the north and south of the Yellow River responded to Yue Fei's Northern Expedition under the banner of Yue Jiajun, and other Song soldiers from all walks of life also turned to Yue Fei's old base of resisting gold. The anti-gold struggle showed a good situation of vigorous development. When it was just the right time, Yue Fei was so happy that he said to his subordinates, "Go straight to Huanglongfu and have a drink with all the princes!" Jin Jun exclaimed, "It's easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yuegujun." Jin Wushu had prepared to evacuate Kaifeng and go to Hebei to avoid the soldiers of Yuegujun.
