In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1 134), Han Shizhong supervised the army in Huaichu area. In six years, it was established in Chuzhou. Young Weisheng moved to Chuzhou with his family with great reverence for this anti-Jin hero and deep hatred for Jin Bing, and enlisted as an archer.
In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1 140), just as the good news of the anti-gold war spread frequently, he was worried about losing the throne and ordered the ministries to stop attacking at his instigation.
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1 14 1), in May, Han Shizhong, who had been in Huai for more than ten years, was also moved to Zhenjiang, and the excellent situation of resisting gold was thus ruined. Wei Shengxin is not reconciled. He wanted to observe the nomads from the movement and spy on their information, so he hid in Yang Shan. After Song and Jin made peace, they often disguised themselves as salt dealers and craftsmen, crossed the Huaihe River and went to Lianshui, Haizhou and Yizhou to spy on the military situation.
In thirty-one years (1 16 1), Weishang once again made a reconnaissance over the Huaihe River, and found that Yan Yanliang, the gold owner, moved to Haizhou and Lianshui, collected grain and grass, made equipment, and deployed troops in various places to prepare for a massive invasion to the south. He reported this situation to Lan Siji, the magistrate of Chuzhou, and suggested that nomads attack Lianshui while they were unprepared. But Lan was afraid of taking responsibility and didn't dare to adopt the suggestion. So he volunteered, gathered 300 volunteers and said to them, "Now Jin people are bent on beating us, but they never thought we would beat them. This is an excellent opportunity for us to recover lost ground! " Weisheng led 300 celebrities to cross the Huaihe River overnight and occupied Lianshui City in one fell swoop.
After occupying Lianshui City, Weisheng ordered his men not to kill people without authorization. He said to the people in the city: "Lianshui was originally the site of the Song Dynasty, and you were originally from the imperial court. Since Huaibei was occupied by Jin, everyone has been ravaged. Suqian, my hometown, was earlier than the fall of Lianshui, and I know the pain of being conquered people. Now the gold Lord is treacherous and wants to invade the south. Don't you want to go back to the imperial court and recover lost ground with me? " Hearing this, the people were very excited: "We all dream of returning to the Great Song Dynasty and being slaves to the Jin people. We have had enough!" At present, hundreds of people have joined the "loyalty army" of Weisheng. With the support of Lianshui people, the Loyalist Army went straight to Haizhou.
Haizhou's guardian is Gao. When he heard that Weisheng had occupied Lianshui, he sent troops to arrest him. When the troops arrived at Dayi Mountain, 80 miles south of Haizhou, I saw Weisheng leading with a broadsword, followed by the rest of the soldiers. Gao He immediately fled and retreated into the city. There are only five or six hundred loyal ministers, so it is impossible to storm. Therefore, Weisheng ordered some soldiers to bypass the seaside and pretend to land from the sea. He also asked his men to plant flags around the city and raise more fireworks as suspicious soldiers. In this way, Gao thought there were a large number of troops, so he closed the city gate in fear. Although there were thousands of troops and horses, he still dared not go out of the city to fight, and drove the people to the city to defend the city for him. Seeing this, Wei Sheng knew that traitors were timid and unpopular, so he sent people to the city gate to publicize: "Jin people are treacherous, treacherous, and want to commit Huainan. You were originally from the Song Dynasty. The imperial court thought that you were destroyed by the Jin people and sent us here to liberate the people, recover the lost land and punish the spies. You can quickly open the city gate and help us catch thieves. Loyal soldiers will never disturb the people. " The people guarding the city fell from the sky and rejoiced. They immediately opened the city gate to meet the micro-life, and automatically acted as a guide to attack the state government. Gao and his son An Ren led more than 1000 soldiers to refuse to defend. Weisheng sent dozens of brave men to climb the tower and led his troops to fight Gao Anren at the bridge gate. Loyal and brave loyalist soldiers wiped out Gao Anren and his minions and captured Gao alive.
Wei Shengquan knew about the affairs of state after the loyalty army took Haizhou. He sent people to report to counties in Chongqing, such as Shoushan, Huairen, Shuyang and Donghai, and all localities were very obedient. So he paid taxes, released prisoners, opened warehouses, helped the poor and killed soldiers. The loyal and righteous division has strict military discipline and is deeply supported by the people. Weisheng controls himself and himself, and widely improves loyalty and justice to recover lost ground. On the first day of 10, thousands of warriors applied. He divided the troops into five armies and reported the situation to the commanders in China, hoping to get military uniforms and armor. However, although Chuzhou Lanzhizhou and others knew that the Jin people behind the alliance would invade the south, they were afraid to report it for fear of the influence of the imperial court, so that the loyal army of Weisheng could not get weapons and equipment. In order to solve the weapon problem, the Left Army controlled Dong Cheng to attack Yizhou. Weisheng became a detective and warned Dong Cheng. "We don't have armor now, and tens of thousands of herders are heading for Yizhou. General, don't act rashly. " Dong Cheng was impatient and led more than 1000 people to attack Yizhou. After fierce street fighting, he killed more than 3000 people and got tens of thousands of armor. At this time, the nomads from the army had arrived, and Dong quickly organized manpower to carry armor and personally escorted it. I saw the nomads from the army climbed onto the roof and threw bricks and tiles from a commanding height. Dong Cheng was almost wiped out. The situation has improved due to the timely response of weisheng. After the event, Dong Cheng was held responsible for his unauthorized actions, causing heavy losses to the troops, and his crime was beheaded; However, Wei Sheng thought he was brave in fighting and won the golden armor, so he was allowed to give a discount.
After hearing the news that Weisheng captured Haizhou and seized ordnance, Yan Hongliang sent Meng Tian, the leader of Haizhou Tongzhi, to attack Haizhou with more than 10,000 nomads. When Weisheng learned about it, he set an ambush at the pass and led his elite troops into Xinqiao, 20 miles away from Haizhou, where they fought a life-and-death battle with the nomads from there. Nomads from the crowd pressed hard, and Wei Sheng pretended to fail and fought back. While the nomads from the army was in high spirits, the ambush of the rear team suddenly became furious, and the nomads from the army suddenly lost its foothold. Weisheng led the team to kill a "comeback". Meng Tian caught off guard and was cut off by Wei Sheng. Losing the coach, the nomads from the army became even more panic. Thousands of people were beheaded, hundreds fell, and the rest fled. The victory of this battle made Wei Shengjun stronger. Everyone in Shandong wants to vote. Being deeply short of Serenade horses and without the support of the imperial court, Weisheng said to the Shandong people, "Gather together for the time being and hold your own camps until Julian Waghann arrives."
There are hundreds of thousands of people living in Cangshan in Yizhou. Nomads from the long-term siege, the situation is critical, sent for help, micro-life immediately split up. After arriving at Cangshan, we broke through the position of the Jin people and went straight to the village. When Jin Jun ambushed, Wei Sheng rode alone with a broadsword. Five hundred nomads and cavalry surrounded Wei Sheng. I saw him waving a broadsword and hitting four times in a row. When he rushed out of the tight encirclement, he had been shot dozens of times. The nomads from behind only dare to shoot an arrow into the village gate. Weisheng's mount was shot down by an arrow, so he dismounted and went into the village. Nomads from the army no one dare to fight. After Weisheng entered the village, the army of nomads from the Golden Army became tighter and tighter, and cut off the waterway in an attempt to trap the soldiers and civilians in the village. When the drinking water in the village was used up, Weisheng led the soldiers and civilians to kill cattle and horses, taking blood as water and persisting in the struggle. Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, it rained cats and dogs, and Jin's plot went bankrupt. Nomads from the plan failed. On the contrary, it is more urgent to attack the city and camp on all sides. This abnormal action attracted the attention of the micro-students. He knew that the enemy would transfer troops to Haizhou, so he was bluffing. Weisheng was caught off guard by the nomads from behind, avoided the Golden Camp and secretly returned to Haizhou to raise foot soldiers to prepare for the battle. Soon, nomads from indeed removed the circumference of Cangshan, soldiers to Haizhou at the gates. As soon as the vanguard troops arrived, Weisheng went out to fight and won several battles. Later, the Golden Army arrived, and the arrows rained down. An arrow hit Wei Sheng's nose and lips and knocked out his upper teeth. He just withdrew to the city and ordered him to stick to it. Nomads from relying on dint, surrounded by haizhou, onslaught on all sides. Weisheng led the soldiers and civilians in the city, held fast to the city, and made night raids from time to time, so that the nomads from the city could not rest. Nomads from the siege of Haizhou for seven days, not only didn't get any cheap, but suffered heavy casualties and had to evacuate. Since then, Microscience has had a great influence on Shandong Province, and many Jinbing soldiers from Shanxi only need to look at embroidery. Shandong weisheng "banner, hastily retreated. Weisheng took advantage of Jin people's fear of himself and secretly made dozens of flags for the generals. Whenever the fighting is fierce, they fight fiercely. The banner of "Shandong Weisheng" made Jin people suddenly lose their foothold and fled in a hurry. Because of Wei's resistance, we can't send troops south. Although we divided our forces to attack Haizhou many times, we all ended in failure. When Weisheng started the uprising, there was neither state salary nor state treasury. However, he did business in Haizhou, persuaded to buy food, taxed wine and monopolized salt classes, which ensured the supply of the army. According to the topography of Haizhou, he built heavy cities, dug ditches and took soil, plugged the pass and built chariots, making Haizhou a thorn in Yan Hongliang's back.
The victory of Weisheng's "Loyalist Army" in Haizhou, which was the enemy of Weisheng, was a great shock to Sulu, but the court did not know it for a long time. It was not until the coastal system made Li Bao send his son Li Gongzuo to spy on the enemy from the sea that he realized that Weisheng had made such a great contribution to the country. Li Bao was overjoyed when he heard the news. On the one hand, he thanked the imperial court. On the other hand, he invited Wei Sheng to discuss how to defeat the enemy. Tell, nomads from the ship Ge is driven by the people of the Central Plains. I have asked their families to take the opportunity of sending clothes to tell them that they will return when Julian Waghann attacks. Therefore, it was decided to attack the Jinbing Water Army. First, the boat division was rushed to Yangshan Island, Zhang's flag was forged, and then the internal personnel of the boat division were informed. The next day, the north wind blew hard, and the nomads from the army all hid in the warehouse to avoid the cold. After a while, the wind changed, nomads came out and saw many ships in the south. Some people want to know: Where did this ship come from? The boatman lied to them and said, "That's the navy of Jin State over there. Didn't you see the flag on the boat? " Nomads from afar, seeing that this is the flag of Xu Jinguo, no longer doubt, hid in the cabin. The ferryman hung up the signal and Li Baozhou came with the wind. When Song Jun approached, the ferryman abandoned the ship and went ashore. Song Jun jumped on the nomads from the boat and lit the sail painted with tung oil. The sail burned. The ship lost power. The nomads from the dark were trapped in the cabin, unable to fight or escape, so they had to give in easily. In this battle, Li Bao wiped out eight 8 Jin armies, intercepted several ships of Golden Shipmaster, and strengthened the strength of Song Jun navy. After Li Baobiao played in the imperial court, Song Gaozong named Wei Sheng "X-door only waiting" and formally appointed him as commander-in-chief of Haizhou well-known and Shandong Luzhongjun. At this time, Li Bao also led his captain to continue patrolling the sea.
After the defeat, the nomads from the army hated the micro-life, took advantage of Li Baozhou's voyage to the West, and then sent 200,000 troops to attack Haizhou. At this time, the little army had not yet entered the city, and the people outside the city heard that the nomads from the city were going to enter the city, and they all wanted to escape in the city. Guo Wei, who is in charge of guarding the city, quickly closed the gate. People outside the city are not allowed to enter the city, and horses and cattle are everywhere, wailing and shaking. When Wei Sheng entered the city, he said to Guo Wei, "Nomads have always been afraid of me. This time he led hundreds of thousands of troops and was killed by me. Everyone else is scared away. As long as you stick to this city, the enemy can't help us. How can you keep the people out of the city and let the nomads from the city kill them? " Guo Wei was relieved and opened the gate wide to let the people into the city. Soon, the nomads from Haizhou surrounded. Weisheng and Guo Wei suited their guards and said nothing. 8 jin j was shocked. Dare not attack for days. Behind it is a ladder, above it is cannon stone, surrounded by soil, which fills the trench. Weisheng waited for him to approach the city with great fanfare, followed by fire cow and gold liquid. After three days and nights, the nomads from the city could not get close, so he tried to camp in the old way and cut off the river in an attempt to trap the micro-life. On the one hand, Weisheng constantly attacked and harassed the enemy; on the other hand, he sent people to Li Bao for help. Li Bao sent someone to tell Weisheng: "Zhang Zigai has ordered the troops to clear the gap." Soon, Zhang's cavalry arrived, attacked from inside and outside, and the nomads from the army were defeated. Weisheng invited Zi Ji to go with him to pursue victory, but the professional soldier said, "I only accept the order to lift the siege of Haizhou, and I don't know what other tasks there are." Weisheng had to give up.
After Zhang Zi almost withdrew his troops, the people in the city were afraid that the nomads from the city would come again, and they went out of the city in succession. They wanted to go south with Song Jun, and they tried to persuade and know righteousness all the way. When they arrived at Lianshui Army, everyone was moved by his sincerity and followed him back to Haizhou. Soon, Jin Bang was in conflict, Wan Yanliang was killed, and the nomads from the gold army returned to the north. Master Li Baozhou also went back to the south.
At this time, I was born in Haizhou, training and strengthening Ma Zhuang. He has no doubt about those who come back from the north, giving alms to the poor, visiting relatives and sleeping with them. Even when he caught Xu Jin's spy, he coaxed him, gave him wine and food, and generously sent him back. As a result, Shandong and Hebei have more and more followers. Weisheng tried his best to report the truth and falsehood inside the state of Jin to the court. Zhang Jun, the commander-in-chief, once met Wei Sheng from Jiankang (Nanjing) and asked him about military affairs, and named him "X Gate Xuan Zan Scheeren". Shandong Road Loyalist Army is in town, Zhenjiang Prefecture is stationed in command, and Haizhou is still known.
Generous elegy in the first year of Xinglong (1 163), the imperial court sent Zhenjiang imperial commander to guard Haizhou, and transferred Jia's troops from Hebei Road Comfort Station in Shandong Province to Haizhou. After Jia arrived in Haizhou, he first plotted to buy off his subordinates in an attempt to alienate them. Knowing this, I will tell right from wrong with Jia Ming. On the contrary, Jia accused him of being arbitrary and not listening to appeasement. As a result, he only controlled the official position of Shandong Road loyalist and transferred him to Jiankang. It was not until others exposed Jia's framing that he was reinstated and still stationed in Haizhou. In the second year, the peace faction in North Korea gained the upper hand again. After making peace with Jin, Haizhou was once again incorporated into the territory of Jin State and transferred to Chuzhou Prefecture, where he was responsible for the military affairs of Qinghekou (now Qingpu District of Huaiyin City) and was in charge of Liu Bao, the coordinator of Huaidong Road.
Liu Bao is not only afraid of death, but also jealous of virtue and energy. After arriving in Chuzhou, he only transferred a small part of the army to Weisheng and took the chariot for himself. For the nomads from the army, he accepted the will of the Lord and factions, and was very patient. Seeing the opportunity, Nomads from the Yellow River pretended to transport grain and grass to Sizhou and enter the Huaihe River from Qinghe Estuary. Weisheng knew that this was a plot of the nomads from the south, so he told Liu Bao. Liu Bao said: "We just made peace, and we are not allowed to fight with the Jin people!" Nomads from the opportunity to send cavalry to launch a storm on the micro-life. Weisheng had to lead his troops to a decisive battle with Nomads at six o'clock in the morning, and there was no draw until four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, nomads from the army and a large number of troops arrived. Wei Sheng fought to the death and sent someone to Liu Bao for first aid. Liu Bao said bitterly, "Song and Jin just made peace, and there will never be a war." Although only four miles away, Liu Baojing did not send a single soldier. The little army has no arrows, so they are still fighting fiercely with the enemy on the mound. When he heard the news that Liu Bao would not send reinforcements, he said indignantly, "I should die here to repay Dasong. If you can escape alive, I hope to report to the emperor. " Then, he ordered the infantry to retreat first and followed with cavalry. He fought against the cavalry when he retreated. When he retreated to only nine kilometers from Chuzhou, he was exhausted and could no longer resist the locusts flying all over the sky in the enemy camp. A generation of famous players was thus destroyed. At this time, he was only 45 years old. After a slight death, Liu Bao abandoned the city and fled.
Later, Song Xiaozong knew about it, confiscated Liu Bao's property and exiled him to Qiongzhou, ending his shameful life. Weisheng was posthumously named as an ambassador of Baoning and named as "Zhongzhuang". A "Baozhong Temple" was built for him in Jiangkou Town, Zhenjiang Prefecture, and later a "Baozhong Temple" was built in the place where he died. He was very kind to his two sons, and named his eldest son Wei Jiao, martial doctor and Zhongzhou secretariat, and his second son Wei Chang as "Cheng Xinlang".
In the fifteenth year of Xichun (1 188), Song Xiaozong said to the minister, "Talents must be used before they are used. If there is no trouble in the border, who can recognize such a talent as Wei Sheng? " Zhao Xia added Jiao Wei as the deputy general manager of the "Ma bu" or horse stance just look army in western Zhejiang.
In order to effectively prevent and combat the attack of the nomads from attacking, Weisheng also invented the "Ruyi chariot" and the cannon car. Ruyi chariots can hold more than 50 soldiers each, and only two people need to push them to advance and retreat freely. The front of the chariot is equipped with animal-faced wooden signs with dozens of cannons, covered with felt curtains, and hooked on both sides of the chariot, which can be separated and combined. When marching, the carriages are separated and loaded with trench armor; When stationed, the couplers are connected into a battalion, which can not only defend the arrows, but also prevent the enemy from approaching. When the array is closed, the chariot is outside, the cannon car is in the middle, and the crossbows on both sides of the array door are equipped with crossbows, which can shoot a hundred paces. The cannon car fired, 200 paces away. When the two armies are facing each other, they use crossbows, arrows and cannons, and knives, axes, spears and halberds. When fighting, cavalry will attack in two directions, pursue victory when they are in advantage, and avoid the array when they are not in advantage. Weisheng reported the design and structure of this chariot to the imperial court, which attached great importance to it and ordered all armies to copy it.
Historical Evaluation Song Xiaozong: Talents should be used first and then seen, so that students will not be bothered by boundary problems. How can he see his talent?
Song Shi: The rise of Weisheng, without the salary of an armored soldier, raised thousands of rabble and hundreds of thousands of teachers who resisted gold, and died in a state, which was famous at that time. How magnificent! However, it's a pity to see the general die without saving him.
Biography of Four Generals of Zhongxing: Therefore, doctors from Wudu, Zhou Guotuan and Ning Guojun are the most loyal ambassadors in Shandong. Although I fought bloody battles in Huaiyin, I was actually covered in grass. The situation has not been fully demonstrated and the time will not come again. In an instant, I regretted it. Although the ugly class was not captured alive, its death may help the enemy. It is appropriate to have repeated books. The more you cut, the more progress you make, so it is appropriate to show the power of Guo Yi.
Huang Daozhou: Wei Wei, a born hero, crossed the Huaihe River at a party and tied a knot in the water. When Xuande went to court, all the people were happy. Then take Haizhou and go your own way. Release the sin and exhaust the rent, and help each other. I'm glad. Same response. Tengzhai is in the nursery. He is in urgent need of help. Qingcang Mountain and Lien Chan will win. Jin people are strong and talkative. Accusing him of rebelling against the alliance has nothing to say. The standard of micro-life stands at the forefront of all wars. The homemade tactics are rich, and the knives are heavy and the arrows are stacked. The coastal defense is very strict and everything is in harmony. From Qing to Huai, but dare not cross. And defeat the alliance invasion, no soldier should answer. Killing Baojun is still a matter of peace.
Family: Wei Jiao, a martial doctor, and a secretariat of Zhongzhou.
Wei Chang, Cheng Xinlang
