"The shame of Jingkang is still lingering, and the hatred of courtiers should be extinguished." This is an eternal famous sentence in Yue Fei's Man Jiang Hong, which expresses Yue Fei's incomparable loyalty to the Southern Song Dynasty and his urgent desire to get rid of Jingkang's shame. But in fact, Yue Fei's ambition is to die, and he failed to realize his desire to destroy Xu Jin's revenge. Meng Gong, another military commander in the Southern Song Dynasty, finally destroyed the State of Jin.

1. Who is Meng Gong?

Meng Gong, Yue Fei and Yue Jiajun still have some connections. Meng Gong was born into a noble family, and his great-grandfather Meng An was the ministry of Yue Fei, who made great achievements. Grandfather Meng Lin is also a subordinate of Yue Fei, and both of them are generals of Yue Jiajun. His father, Meng, was also a military general in the Southern Song Dynasty. He made great contributions to the "Kathy Northern Expedition" initiated by Han Biaozhou.

Influenced by his family, Meng Gong became a military general in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the tenth year of Jiading (12 17), the Jin army invaded Xiangyang in a big way, and Meng Gong followed his father to take part in the battle against the Jin army, making great achievements. In the 12th year of Jiading (12 19), Xu Jin sent 200,000 troops to attack Zaoyang, and Meng Gong fought bravely to kill the enemy, even breaking Shiba Zui Village, beheading more than 1,000 soldiers, seizing a large number of weapons and repelling the nomadic people.

In the Anti-Jin War, Meng Gong gradually grew into an independent general, became a national dry city in the Southern Song Dynasty, defeated the Jin people many times, and became another outstanding military talent after Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty. After defeating Xu Jinguo, Meng Gong took part in the war against the invasion of the Song Dynasty by the Mongolian and Yuan armies, and successively commanded the battles of Jiangling, Xiangfan and Huangzhou, which hit the Yuan army many times. If it hadn't died young, it is really unknown whether the Yuan Dynasty could destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Second, the battle of gold in Meng Gong.

In A.D. 1233, Mongolia formed an alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty, agreeing to jointly destroy Xu Jinguo and send troops to attack Cai Zhou, the last stronghold of Xu Jinguo. However, because Mongolian cavalry were not good at siege, Meng Gong became the main force in this campaign. After more than half a year's efforts, in the first month of 1234, Meng Gong finally led an army to conquer Cai Zhou, and the last emperor of the State of Jin, Hong Yan Cheng Lin, committed suicide, and the State of Jin perished. Meng Gong finally realized Yue Fei's long-cherished wish.
