Introduction to Jiang Wanzai, Commander-in-Chief of Southern Song Rebel Army; Does Jiang Wanzai really exist in history?
Jiang's three ancient rivers, with a name of 100 million (1207- 1278), are fictional characters in the novel, fabricated by unofficial history and not included in the official history. A native of Jiangjia Village, Tang Lin (now in front of Yangfeng Township, duchang county, Jiangxi Province), the Nankang military capital of Jiangnan West Road in the Southern Song Dynasty, was the younger brother of Jiang Wanli, a famous patriot at the end of the Song Dynasty. Together with his elder brothers Wan Li and Wan Qing, he was called "Three Ancient" and "Three Kunyu" by people at that time. Since childhood, his father Jiang Ye had high hopes for him. In addition to teaching him the Yi-ology of his family, he also hired famous teachers to teach the art of war and martial arts, and each subject has won its essence for many years. In the sixteenth year of Jiading, Song Ningzong (1223), Jiang Wanzai, who had just turned sixteen, was appointed as the health attache of Lin 'an Prefecture by force. Soon, he was in charge of Zhongshun Army under the command of his uncle Jiang Hai, and worked with Meng Gong, a famous military officer. The following year, he was awarded the post of Commander Ichiro of Jinghu, and deputy commander of Zhongshun Army's military forces, under the age of seventeen. In the second year of Song Lizong Baoqing (1226), he was awarded the rank of General of Mechanical Imperial Palace in front of the Temple, and was assigned as the commander-in-chief of military forces in Nanjian Prefecture. In the first year of Shaoding (1228), Jiang Wanzai, who was only 2 1 year old, was awarded the post of commander of the imperial palace in front of the temple by Li Zong, who was in charge of the elite division of the Southern Song Dynasty. Two years later (1229), I participated in the anthology as a three-product Wu Jie, and I was a scholar, ranking with Xu. At that time, he surpassed his brother Jiang Wanli, which made Song Lizong look at Chiang Kai-shek with new eyes. Subsequently, with the success of his younger brother Jiang in the imperial examination, Chiang Kai-shek became famous all over the world.

Six years later (1233), he, together with Jiang Hai and Meng Gong, was ordered by Song Ting to jointly attack Cai Zhou, the capital of the State of Jin, and in the first year of Duanping (1234), he led Zhongshun Army and one of the imperial guards in front of the temple, and captured Jindu Cai Zhou with Jiang Hai, which was a century-old "shame of Jingkang". The assistant minister of the Ministry of War wanted to add Jiang Wanzai as the minister of the Ministry of War, but he was suppressed by history, saying that Jiang Wanzai was too young (only 27 years old) and needed experience to sign the appointment letter. When it is so powerful, even there is nothing to do. Since then, Jiang Wanzai has been transferred to Wen Jie's official position, and his official position has been extended to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. Although I had a successful career as a teenager, compared with my brother Wanli and my brother Wanzai, my career was quite smooth. But in the beginning, he refused to curry favor with Shi, Jia Sidao and other dignitaries, so he never gave up the military and political power of a province and a state.

From the anti-Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to the Kai Qing Yuan Dynasty (1259), Kublai Khan invaded the Song Dynasty on a large scale, and Jiang Wanzai, as Jia Sidao's highest military chief of staff, returned to the battlefield with him to help Jia organize the battle of Ezhou. Under the specific organization and scheduling of Jiang Wanzai, the battle of Ezhou was successful in the first battle, which blocked Kublai Khan's multiple attacks on the Mongolian Yuan Army. When the two sides were deadlocked, news came that Mongolia was shot and killed by Sichuan soldiers and civilians. At this time, Song Jun's chief of staff, Jiang Wanzai, proposed that while the civil strife in Mongolia was unstable, a small amount of Song Jun was left ahead to contain Mongolia, and the main force was circuitous, cutting off the only way for Mongolian soldiers to withdraw northward. At the same time, it spread the hint that the people of the Northern Han Dynasty would revolt anyway, forcing Kublai Khan to fight Song Jun in the Central Plains. However, as the head coach of Song Jun, Jia Sidao dared not make peace, demanding that Kublai Khan stop fighting and withdraw his troops on the condition that he lost 200,000 Mongolian troops every year in the Southern Song Dynasty, so he agreed to withdraw his troops and return to the north. When reporting to Li Zong, Jia Sidao concealed the plot of asking for old coins, lied that he had won a great victory in Ezhou, and was praised by Song Lizong and Manchu officials for recreating the Duke of Zhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. Jiang Wanzai didn't want to be equal to Jia Ping any more, so he resigned at the age of 52 and returned to China to support his loving mother. Song Lizong and Song Duzong repeatedly asked for the reinstatement of Jiang Wanzai, but Jiang Wanzai refused. He only took pleasure in teaching his children and villagers martial arts, made friends with local heroes, and realized the role transformation from a senior official of the imperial court to a folk hermit.

During the reign of Song Duzong Xianchun (1273), Xiangfan, a military town in the Southern Song Dynasty, fell, and his brother Jiang Wanli, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty and the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, resigned and returned to China, chiseling a pool to show his ambition to serve the country. Jiang Wanzai called on the adult descendants of the Sangu family to destroy their homes, relieve difficulties and organize insurgents to fight against the Mongols. At the call of the Wan Li brothers, he and his brother Jiang Wanli sold the property accumulated by three generations of the Sangu family as the military expenses of the Rebel Army. Adult descendants of the Sangu family took the lead in the rebellion. With the support of local hero and Raozhou well-known Tang Zhen, the rebellion quickly formed. However, Jia Sidao and Chen, who were in power at that time, were afraid of offending Meng Yuan, started a war and ordered a ban. Jiang Wanzai had to return to Poyang Lake with rebellion, take the lake boat as his home, and live a life of fishermen leading troops. In September of the 10th year of Xianchun (1274), Meng Yuan sent 200,000 troops to Xiangfan to launch a full-scale war to destroy the Song Dynasty. Despite the opposition of the imperial court and the weakness of the rebel army, Jiang Wanzai resolutely led the rebel army to Ezhou and embarked on the road of raising the army and saving himself. Although it was difficult to stop Meng Yuan's turbulent front, Meng Yuan could do nothing about this rebel. Jiang Wanzai rebels defended their hometown Raozhou for three months with flexible tactics and the help of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River system. However, Raozhou sentenced all the roads to fall, and Tang Zhen died. Jiang Wanli, Jiang Wanzai's younger brother, led more than 80 people from Sangu family/KLOC-0 to stop the pool and died. Raozhou finally fell. Meng Yuan tried to persuade Jiang Wanzai to surrender with the rebel army by taking care of his martyr's family, but Jiang flatly refused, and withdrew from Meng's command of invading the Song Dynasty by taking advantage of the opportunity that the former rebel Liu was shot and killed by Jiang Wanzai. Seven or eight days later, with the help of Zhang Jun, Jiang Wanzai led the rebel army to recover Raozhou City in a short time, enabling his brother to report the martyrdom of his family to Song Ting, becoming famous all over the world and inspiring heroes. Xie Daoqing, after hearing the news, signed several letters, named Jiang Wanzai as an official of the Ministry of Rites and the commander of the imperial army in front of the temple, and named Jiang Sangu as an official of all ranks in the descendants of the rebel army, and took the rebel army into Zhang Shijie with him.

Jiang Wanzai took over the imperial guard in front of the temple after he entered Angola with the rebel army during the period of German V, and put down the chaos caused by the former imperial guard command post in front of the temple which was besieged and killed by Chen. Xie Daoqing then asked Jiang Wanzai to take photos in the parade to exercise power on behalf of Song Gongdi. After Jiang Wanzai's rectification, Lin 'an's military soon came out of the shadow of the failure of the battle of Jia Sidao Lugang. More than 100,000 troops and nearly 10,000 warships were assembled again. When Meng Yuan and Yangzhou Li Tingzhi were at loggerheads, Jiang Wanzai invited soldiers to attack Meng Yuan's flank in time, hoping to defeat the enemy all the way, but Xie Daoqing refused. At this time, Wang Entropy, Chen and Liu, the important ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, did not dare to supervise the attack. As a result, Zhang Shijie was defeated in the Battle of Jiao Shan. Since then, the Southern Song Dynasty has no power to organize an active attack on the main force of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. At the critical moment, Prime Minister Chen ran away with a pole. Although Wen Tianxiang brought tens of thousands of rebels into Wei 'an, most of them were untrained, which was not enough to resist the Mongolian attack on Lin 'an. After Chen wrote to her mother through Xie Daoqing to urge her to return to Lin 'an, she rejected the proposal of Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie to move the Southern Song Dynasty court to the southeast coast, and let Jiang Wanzai and Zhang Shijie take the rest of them to fight to the death with Meng Yuan in Lin 'an, which greatly disappointed Zhang Shijie. Jiang Wanzai originally wanted to take the original rebels and Wen Tianxiang to the southeast coast to raise more rebels to resist Meng Yuan, but both of them were left behind by Empress Xie to help Song Ting maintain the crisis. Jiang Wanzai and the rebels he led were given a special task by Xie Daoqing, that is, even in the most dangerous time, to ensure that someone in the Zhao royal family could escape Meng Yuan's pursuit. At the request of Xie Daoqing, Jiang Wanzai and his descendants of Jiang Sangu turned to the secret front after the defeat of the battle of Jiaoshan in August of the first year of the German Fifth Year, secretly protecting Yi and leaving the southeast, seeking a safe base to accumulate strength to rebuild the Song Dynasty; Although Xie Daoqing still let Jiang Wanzai be the commander-in-chief of the imperial army in front of the temple, he still let Jiang take photos of the March, but he made a special statement that Jiang Wanzai, an old minister, had resigned and returned to his hometown because of his advanced age, in order to spread the news that Jiang Wanzai was no longer in the DPRK. Later, when Chen and Chen discussed the surrender conditions of the Song Dynasty and dismissed the remaining loyal ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty and the rebels who spontaneously entered Wei 'an upon request, nearly 100,000 loyal ministers' rebels raised by Wen Tianxiang and Jiang G (the nephew of Jiang Wanzai and the grandson of Du Zongchao's Ministry of War) were dismissed by Chen and others. But Jiang Wanzai's rebels and imperial guards in front of the temple were preserved and protected in advance by Xie Daoqing and Jiang Wanzai.

On the 18th day of the first month of 1952 (1February 4th, 276), just as the Yuan army fell into Lin 'an, Jiang Wanzai led the last descendants of the three ancient families of the Chiang family, with 20,000 imperial protection fees, Yang Guifei and Yang Zhixiong, as well as Xie Daoqing's nephew Xu, Yang Zhen, Zhao and Commander-in-Chief Y and other ministers, and soon sent Meng Yuantie to kill Jiang Wan. When Lu Xiufu heard about it, he also rushed to Wuzhou to join Yi, Guang and Jiang Wanzai rebels. Wuzhou was unstable, so Jiang Wanzai continued to lead the army to protect Erwang and Lu Xiufu and retreated to Wenzhou, and led tens of thousands of troops to attack Zhang Shijie, Wenzhou. Jiang Wanzai only survived the most difficult March, but paid the price of losing more than half of the original rebel army and the death of his third son, Jiang Yu. Since then, this process has been recorded in history books, such as Wang Yong, Guang Wang as the governor and deputy governor of Wenzhou military forces, Wang Yong as the emperor of Fuzhou, and Pu Shougeng, a businessman who rebelled in Quanzhou. Jiang Wanzai led the descendants of his three ancient families to participate in the whole process.

After Song Duanzong Jing Yan ascended the throne in Fuzhou, he still followed the instructions of Xie Daoqing before he went north, took Jiang Wanzai as a photographer to take pictures of marching things instead of Song Duanzong to exercise power, and continued to support Jiang Wanzai and his descendants to hide their identity in the Sangu family.

In March of the third year of Jingyan (1278), Jiang Wanzai and others arrived in Jing 'ao near Guangzhou Bay (now Leizhou Peninsula), where Liu Shen was ambushed by Yuan. Jiang Wanzai and his relatives struggled to repel Liu Shen's ambush. The protected Duan Zong boarded a ship, but suddenly he was hit by a typhoon, which blew the young and weak Song Duan Zong into the sea. Jiang Wanzai, who was over seventy years old, jumped into the sea and rescued Song. Two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians lost their actual commander in chief in the Southern Song Dynasty. Although Empress Yang posthumously awarded Jiang Wanzai as "Kai Minhou" and posthumous title as "Wu Su", she blocked the news that Jiang Wanzai had been martyred. In less than a month, Song Duanzong also died of fright. The small court in the Southern Song Dynasty, which had been in exile for nearly three years, was hit one after another, and the hearts of the military and civilians were greatly shaken, and they wanted to dissolve. Lu Xiufu persuaded his ministers, together with Zhang Shijie and Jiang Wanzai's second son, Jiang Ju, to help Zhao M, the younger brother of Song Duanzong, become emperor, with Lu Xiufu as prime minister, Zhang Shijie as a teacher and Jiang Ju as the imperial commander in front of the temple. Therefore, the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty continued to live in exile in the coastal areas of Guangdong. Soon, Xiao Chaoting, who was exiled, arrived at Yashan Mountain in Xinhui, Guangdong. Zhang Shijie, Jiang Ji and other civil servants, the leading generals, saw the dangerous position of Yashan, so they decided to temporarily station Xiaochaoting in Yashan. However, Zhang Shijie and Jiang Ji, two military commanders, had a fierce quarrel on how to hold the gate of the yamen, which echoed each other. Zhang was afraid of dispersing his troops and refused to agree. Zhang suspected that Jiang hindered the implementation of his battle plan, so he transferred Jiang Ju back to the government to build Jiang Wanzai's cenotaph in the name of Yang Guifei, and recruited soldiers to prepare, and (Su Shi's descendants) temporarily took Jiang Ju's position and took charge of the front hall. In the post-Yamen naval battle, Zhang Hongfan, commander-in-chief of Mengyuan Army, really divided his troops to block and control the sea and land export of Song Jun, while 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty were locked by warships, making it difficult to move, and few people could escape. Lu Xiufu and Song Emperor M refused to board the ship of the rescuer, because the soldiers sent by Zhang Shijie were not brought by ordinary Jiang and his son. Finally, Lu Xiufu threw Song Dimi into the sea and died. Most of the people were buried in the sea, and there were hundreds of bodies floating in the sea. Finally, it shows the world the heroic spirit of a nation who would rather die than surrender.

Queen Yang, who broke with Zhang Shijie, heard that Emperor M of the Song Dynasty had died, and all of them committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea. Zhang Shijie drifted along the coast with the remaining down archers, and was soon hit by a typhoon, leaving the ship to sink to death. After Jiang Ji returned to Fujian and buried his father's grave, he called hundreds of heroic soldiers up the mountain. By the time he arrived in Hailufeng, Guangdong, the Battle of Door to Door had ended for seven days. Jiang Ji heard that 200,000 soldiers and civilians had been wiped out. After crying several times, he also died in the sea. According to the call of subordinates, local residents established the Rock Temple as a memorial, and the remains still exist.
