Why was Yue Fei killed?

After Yue Fei became a symbol of national independence, his abnormal death became a knot that haunted everyone 1000 years. According to folk legends and stories, Damn and his wife Wang, out of self-interest and traitors' nature, killed Yue Fei, who could have crushed Huanglong and completely defeated him, and were exhausted. The statement given is still an "unnecessary", which means it may or may not be interesting. The subtext is, do you still need a reason to kill? Based on this, Mr. and Mrs. Qin Gui and his best friend Wan Sixie can only kneel by the West Lake and never stand up again.

Of course, later researchers all know that when Yue Fei was killed, he was already a general at the level of deputy minister of national defense in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he also controlled a considerable military force. If he was killed in such a hasty way, it is hard to believe that Qin Gui and others have this ability. As we all know, to judge whether a person is a criminal, in addition to judging that the person has the basic elements such as motive and time of committing crimes, the ability to commit crimes is also very important. As the emperor's effective pawn, Qin Gui really has no ability to take full responsibility for slaying a general of this level.

Some scholars dig deep into historical materials and find that Yue Fei actually died at the hands of Zhao Gou, which is quite reliable. There is nothing strange about the emperor killing the general, let alone killing the general. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed several prime ministers at will. The difficulty of working for the emperor lies in doing well, being suspected, being killed, not doing well, being laughed at, and possibly being killed. This is also an ancient practice.

Everyone thinks that Yue Fei has expressed his opinions on the storage of the emperor's things, and his opinions are still extreme, which makes people feel that he is the kind of person who feels very loyal and takes the emperor's family affairs as his own business. However, for Emperor Gaozong, when he fled from the north of the Yangtze River to the south, he met the mutiny of two generals ("Liu Miao mutiny"). Because of his sudden arrival, he was forced to give up the position of emperor, and he was extremely scared, which scared the ability to have children (this is really a small probability event, too bad). Emperor Gaozong once had a boy who was scared to death during his escape. In this case, when the emperor was in power, Zhao Gou was asked to raise the question of Li Chu. To tell the truth, it's really hard to tell which pot. If you don't grasp it well, you will die. Yue Fei made a big taboo in doing so, and everyone thought that abnormal death had become his destiny. Yue Fei has other environments that are not conducive to his survival. For example, Yue Fei was aloof and offended many colleagues, including Han Shizhong, who was more polite to him. He plays childish with the emperor from time to time. Both times, because the emperor was not satisfied with him, he directly abandoned his son, stood the emperor up and went to Lushan to live in seclusion. These detailed historical facts have been excavated, which is of great help to fully understand Yue Fei's death. At the very least, we all know now, because the slogan of welcoming the second emperor of Qin Hui back to North Korea was completely insisted by Zhao Gou, and Yue Fei was just carrying it out. You know, the Song Dynasty also advocated the rule of filial piety. Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei not because Yue Fei insisted on going to Huanglong to welcome Er Sheng back to the DPRK, which would shake Zhao Gou's existing position.

There is another reason why Yue Fei was killed unjustly. Speaking of it, it is likely that he has not taken care of the overall situation.

At that time, the forces of the Southern Song Dynasty could only drive away the nomads from the Huaihe River valley. Yue Fei's stuck Ezhou (now Wuhan) controlled Jingzhou (now Hubei and eastern Anhui) during the Three Kingdoms period, which was the central axis of the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the crossing of the Jinbing River. Yue Fei has 6,543,800 elite soldiers, and often fights near Kaifeng regardless of his life. To know that fighting is burning money, what we need to pay attention to is, can the Southern Song Dynasty, which barely gained a foothold in the storm, have the ability to burn a lot of money?

Judging from the economic situation in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, it was quite remarkable that a country established in the process of fleeing for its life could resist the nomads from the south. But Yue Fei refused to listen and insisted on being aggressive. Therefore, Zhao Gou won back Yue Fei with 12 gold medals. In doing so, I actually want to express "Brother Yue, I really can't hold on".

For the brave Jin Guo, it is actually very difficult to cross the Jianghuai area and destroy the Song Dynasty. Jin Wushu once tried his best to gather all his troops and cross the Yangtze River to capture Zhao Gou. But Zhao Gou ran to the seaside and spent several sleepless nights at sea. It's a pity that Jin Jun is a landlubber, facing the sea, not blooming in spring, but sighing at the ocean. I wanted to be stationed in Jiangnan for a long time, but these brothers who grew up drinking horse milk were really acclimatized, and the resistance organizations in the south did not stop. Anxious 8 jin j had to withdraw from jiangnan (or life-saving). As a result, on the way back, Song Jun chased 8 jin j's ass, fought all the way, and won several key battles (for example, the battle of Huang Shui). The dream of the rapid demise of the Jin State in the Southern Song Dynasty was completely shattered.

The whole battlefield has entered a stalemate, and no one can break the deadlock immediately. At this time, the best strategy of the Southern Song Dynasty is to negotiate peace, accumulate strength, adjust the economic structure and recuperate. Any Northern Expedition that ignores reality is likely to be self-destructive. However, Yue Fei can't see this. He is not an all-rounder and doesn't understand how important economic construction is to the Southern Song Dynasty. When he took the valiant soldiers to defeat Xu Jin, Xu Jin was actually very happy, hoping that Yue Fei could March in, so that Yue Fei's army could successfully hit the Yellow River many times. However, when Jin Jun tried to encircle Yue Jiajun by the Yellow River, Yue Jiajun gave it to him for nothing, and he died several times. After defeating the main force of the Jin army, the whole army was able to evacuate safely to Hubei. But if we fight endlessly, it will be a disaster for the Southern Song Dynasty and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty. Before Yue Jiajun attacked the Central Plains, there were many uprisings in the area controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty, among which Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao in Poyang Lake were the most violent. The powerful generals sent by the Song Dynasty did not destroy them, but Yue Fei personally suppressed these people, collected the remnants of these people and assembled a decent Yue Jiajun. It can be said that if the rhythm of the war is not controlled, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will basically turn against each other and cooperate with each other from the inside to welcome the Jin Army (People's Liberation Army) in the north to cross the river and go south. After 800 years, the scene of a million mighty men crossing the river may be staged in advance. What would you think if you saw the people in the Southern Song Dynasty holding pots and sucking pulp and welcoming the Jin People's Liberation Army south all the way?

Of course, some people say that commanders and officers of major military regions should be in charge of administration and military affairs, fight if they have money, and rest if they have no money. The imperial court intervened in the middle, directing everyone to liberate the Central Plains and destroy the State of Jin. Speaking of which, it's quite good. However, the court did not dare to do so. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the example of bad warlord pattern is not far away. Needless to say, once these people have mastered the military and political affairs, they must be separated by warlords. As we all know, the main rule of Song Taizu is to prevent this from happening. I don't care how to play in the Song Dynasty, but I absolutely dare not play like this. It is precisely because of this concern that, from beginning to end, even if the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court was poor enough to sell iron, it had to supply grain and grass materials for the troops of the major military regions (with the backing of the imperial court, Yue Jiajun naturally could freeze to death without demolishing the house or looting and starving to death).

When he killed Yue Fei, Yue Fei was actually out of actual control of the army. General Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, etc. Everyone retires at home and enjoys retirement. Yue Fei doesn't want to do this. At that time, although many people could no longer support the suffering of the war, it was unreasonable and a little timid to directly put forward the idea of not liberating the North. Together with Yue Fei, Yue Fei has become a banner of the main war faction, and it is difficult to eliminate the social public opinion that fighting for the Northern Expedition and fighting against the larger foe of the State of Jin. The Southern Song Dynasty always faced the danger of being dragged to death in the war. Killing Yue Fei became Zhao Gou's inevitable choice. Only in this way can we take off this banner, show our determination, correct our thinking and thoroughly implement the national policy of doing a good job in internal construction. Later, Zhao Gou's successor, Song Xiaozong, and Zhao Gou, who had become the emperor's father, also supported the Northern Expedition. But by this time, the notoriety of Zhao Gou and Qin Gui has been widely spread, and everyone's embarrassment has been planted, and it is too late to say anything.
