1 Yue Fei lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother. Legend has it that his mother tattooed the words "Serve the country with devotion" on his back to remind him of the hatred of his country and his family.
2 In the Jingkang Incident in 1126, the Jin soldiers attacked Kaifeng and the Northern Song Dynasty fell. In 1134 (the fourth year of Shaoxing), Yue Fei made his first expedition to the Jin Dynasty and recovered six counties including Xiangyang and Xinyang. In 1136 (the sixth year of Shaoxing), the Northern Expedition was launched again, occupying Yiyang and Luoyang. Later, due to fighting alone, he was forced to withdraw to Ezhou. Yue Fei's ambition was not fulfilled during this Northern Expedition, so he wrote "Man Jiang Hong".
3 In the spring of 1140 (the tenth year of Shaoxing), Jin Wushu invaded the south. Yue Fei sent troops to defeat the Jin army, regained Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and came to Zhuxian Town (20 kilometers south of today's Kaifeng, Henan Province), directly forcing the Jin army. Bianjing, the capital of the country. The morale of the Yuejia army was high and they shouted "Go straight to Huanglong". The leader sent Qin Hui to propose a plan to Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, and summoned Yue Fei with twelve gold medals. Before Yue Fei withdrew his troops, he sighed: "Ten years of work have been destroyed in one day! All the states and counties have been shut down in one day! It is difficult to revive the country! There is no way for the world to be restored!" As a result, Yue Fei's Northern Expedition failed due to political reasons. Later, Yue Fei and his son were arrested and interrogated by Qin Hui on the charge of rebellion. Since no evidence could be found, there was no trial result. In the end, Qin Hui charged him with "unfounded" charges (Han Shizhong questioned Qin Hui face to face, but Qin Hui evaded: "The matter is unfounded (maybe)") ), was sentenced to death in the Fengbo Pavilion of Dali Temple in Hangzhou on the night of New Year's Eve, the 11th year of Shaoxing (1142), the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. .
