Life in Di Qing in Song Dynasty
General Miannie-Di Qing, Di Qing, was born in the first year of Northern Song Dynasty (1008) and died in the second year of Jiayou (1057). He is a 7-foot-long, heavy-eyed, dignified and broad-minded China minister. General of Xihe River in Fenzhou (Fenyang, Shanxi) in Northern Song Dynasty. Di Qing was born in poverty and was ambitious since he was a child. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, Di Qing took the blame for his brother's fight with his fellow villagers, and he "was arrested in Beijing for offending people and fled to the Red Country" and began his military career. In the first year of Baoyuan in Song Renzong (1038), Li Yuanhao, the leader of Tangut, proclaimed himself emperor in the northwest and established Xixia. Song Ting chose the commander of the capital from the side, and Di Qing was elected as the governor of Yanzhou and became a junior officer. In the war, he was brave and good at fighting, acting as a pioneer for many times, leading his troops to seize the customs and behead the generals, successively conquering Jintang City, Yizhou and other places, burning tens of thousands of Xixia grain and grass, "collecting 2,300 yuan and 5,700 cattle", commanding soldiers to repair the city in Qiaogu, a strategic place, and building castles such as Zhao 'an, LAM Raymond, Xinzhai and Da Lang. "They are all thieves". Every time he fought, he wore a bronze mask, took the lead and was invincible. In four years, he participated in 25 battles, big and small, and won 8 arrows, but he was never afraid. In a battle with Anyuan, Di Qing was seriously injured, but "as soon as he heard the news of Kou, he stepped forward and rushed ahead." In the Song and Xia wars, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and became famous. In the first year of Kangding (1040), under the recommendation of Athena Chu, Di Qing was appreciated by Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan, the secretariat of Shaanxi Province. Fan Zhongyan awarded him Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and said to him, "I don't know ancient and modern times, but every man has courage." Di Qing is angry and studies. "I know the art of war of generals since the Qin and Han Dynasties, so I have a reputation." Because of Di Qing's bravery, he was quickly promoted. In a few years, he served as Taizhou secretariat officer, Huizhou Yingyong ambassador, Ma Jun deputy commander-in-chief, and in June of the fourth year (1052), he promoted Tommy as assistant ambassador. Di Qing was appointed in the eventful autumn of the Song Dynasty. In this year, Nong Gaozhi, the leader of Guangxi ethnic minorities, rose up and rebelled against the Song Dynasty, claiming to be the Emperor of Ren Hui, recruiting troops and attacking the city, all the way to Guangdong. The rulers of the Song Dynasty were very afraid. They sent troops to conquer several times, but all of them were defeated. Just as the whole country was in turmoil, the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty were at a loss. Di Qing, who has just been a representative of the Council for less than three months, volunteered to come to the table. Song Renzong was very happy. He was appointed as the ambassador of Xuanhui South Hospital. He told Jinghu South Road to punish thieves in Guangnan, and personally gave Di Qing a farewell dinner at Chuigong Temple. At that time, Song Jun's losing streak was shaken. Some generals, such as Chen Shu, are selfish and don't pay attention to state affairs. They attacked without authorization for fear that Di Qing would steal work. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties. After Di Qing was appointed, in view of the endless lessons of using foreign soldiers to counter rebellion in past dynasties, he first suggested to the emperor to stop using military forces to help him. He drastically purged military discipline, executed Chen Shu and others who did not obey orders, and greatly enhanced military strength. Then he ordered the troops to stay where they were, and allocated and collected a lot of food and grass from all over the country. The Iraqi army saw it and thought that it would not attack in the near future, so it relaxed its vigilance. Di Qing, however, suddenly divided the army into three armies: the front, the middle and the back. He took the lead in leading the army out, took the Kunlun Pass in one fell swoop, took advantage of the terrain, and then ordered some troops to attack from the front. He was in charge of the flag, led the cavalry, divided into the left and right wings, went around the back, attacked from front to back, and won the first world war. After moving to the future, Di Qing was appointed as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and became the highest military chief. However, various disasters have arisen from this. The Song Dynasty punished the dictatorship and frequent mutiny of soldiers in the late Tang Dynasty. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the position of military commanders has been greatly reduced, and it is a basic national policy to suppress military forces with jealousy. From Song Taizu's "relieving the military power with a glass of wine" to dividing the power of the imperial commander-in-chief, and then implementing the "more defensive law", the soldiers were at a loss and didn't know what to do, until it developed to the absurd point that every general had to be given a battle plan and instructions by the court, and the general could only fight as planned. In such a political environment, with the promotion of Di Qing's official position, the court's suspicion and suspicion about him are gradually deepening. As early as the fourth year of Emperor Yangdi (1052), when Di Qing was appointed as a Tang Dynasty envoy, Wang suggested that Di Qing was born in the military and came to power. "There is nothing in this dynasty, and I am afraid that the four sides will despise the court." Right division to Jia Anjin remonstrate, wrote to the emperor, said there are four things Di Qing can't be promoted, suggestion and Han Zhi and others also echoed. According to the wisdom and height of Lingnan, the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty panicked, and Di Qing was in danger. When he led the troops to war, the imperial court was delighted, but he still did not forget that "Di Qing soldiers can't be immune" and wanted to use the eunuch Ren Shouzhong to supervise the army and monitor Di Qing. Later, Li Dui, an admonition officer, argued that "it was illegal for the Tang Dynasty to lose government and regard military achievements as officials, which caused the Lord to be bound." The court had to give up because of the situation. When Di Qing triumphed and became an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, this doubt and anxiety reached its peak. Officials have been saying, not only have been opposed to Di Qing officials, such as Wang Yang said to recall him, but even Pang Ji and Ouyang Xiu, who have repeatedly praised Di Qing's exploits and praised him as a good soldier, strongly opposed the appointment of Di Qing. Is it that Di Qing prided himself on being unfaithful and attracted public criticism? On the contrary, Di Qing has always been loyal to the court. After he became the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, his face still retained the low mark of the sergeant in the Song Dynasty-creating words. Song Renzong once suggested that he use drugs to erase it. Di Qing replied, "Your Majesty respects me with virtue, regardless of family background, so I am here today. So Nie Er, I am willing to stay and make suggestions. " The first thing that comes to mind is morale, not the dignity of being an official.
