Mother-in-law

Mrs. Yao Tai was the mother of Yue Fei, the hero of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty. As a model of maternal education and a role model for women, when the country was in danger, she inspired her children to join the army and served the country with loyalty. It’s a good story, World Honored Mother.

When Yue Fei was fifteen or sixteen years old, the Jin people from the north invaded the south. The people in power in the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, and they were retreating steadily. The country was at a critical moment of life and death. Yue Fei joined the army to fight against Liao. Soon after his father died, he retired from the army and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety.

In 1126, the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and Yue Fei surrendered to the army again. Before leaving, Mrs. Yao called Yue Fei and said, "Now that the country is in crisis, what are your plans?"

"Go to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country with loyalty!"

Mrs. Yao was very satisfied after hearing her son's answer. "Serving the country with loyalty and loyalty" was exactly what her mother hoped for her son. She decided to tattoo these four words on her son's back so that he would remember them forever.

Yue Fei unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his thin back, and asked his mother to take the needle.

Mrs. Yao Tai asked: "Child, acupuncture is very painful, are you afraid?"

Yue Fei said: "Mother, a small steel needle is nothing. If it is connected, If you are afraid of needles, how can you go to the front line to fight?"

Mrs. Yao first wrote on Yue Fei's back, and then pricked it with an embroidery needle. After the tattoo was done, the mother-in-law applied vinegar ink. From then on, the four words "Serve the Country with Loyalty" have remained on Yue Fei's back forever. Yue Fei was inspired by his mother's encouragement. After Yue Fei surrendered to the army, he was quickly promoted to Bing Yilang for his bravery in battle. At this time, Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was besieged by the Jin army. Yue Fei went to the rescue with Deputy Marshal Zongze and defeated the Jin army many times. He was appreciated by Zongze, who praised him as "intelligent, brave and talented, and an ancient good general cannot pass it". Later he became a famous anti-Jin army A hero, respected by people of all ages.

Yue Fei was particularly filial. Her mother stayed north of the Yellow River, so he sent people to find his mother and brought her back. Her mother was ill and would not recover for a long time, so Yue Fei had to give her medicine in person. Yue Fei's mother died, and Yue Fei did not eat or drink for three days. There was no maid to serve him at home, so Wu Jie had always admired Fei and was willing to be friends with him, dressing up as a beautiful woman and giving it to him. Yue Fei said: "The Lord has been working hard for the country all day long, how can it be the time when his ministers are greedy for pleasure?" Yue Fei did not accept it and sent the beauty back. Wu Jie admired Fei even more. Yue Fei was addicted to alcohol, and the emperor warned him: "You can't drink like this until you get to Heshuo." So he stopped drinking. The emperor once wanted to build a residence for Fei, but Yue Fei declined: "How can we talk about family matters before the enemy has been eliminated!" Someone asked: "When will the world be at peace?" Yue Fei said: "Civil officials do not love money, and military generals are not afraid of death. , the world will be at peace."

In 1103 AD, in a dilapidated house in the countryside of Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now part of Henan), Mrs. Yao gave birth to a boy with her tired body.

infant. It was a time of troubled times, and the Jin people were about to invade the Central Plains. Mrs. Yao hoped that her infant child would become an upright man in the future. She discussed with her husband and wanted to give the child a name that could represent her wishes. At this time, Mrs. Yao heard that there was a group of wild geese flying across the sky, and she blurted out: "Yes. Let's call him Yue Fei."

Yue Fei was born Soon, the Yellow River burst, and the rolling Yellow River water washed away everything the Yue family had, making the already poor life even more unsustainable. Later, Yue Fei left his hometown with his parents and drifted to Hebei. The miserable life made Yue Fei taciturn since he was a child. Mrs. Yao was born in a rural area and was not very literate, but she was a very independent, upright and open-minded mother. She has given Yue Fei strict tutoring since he was a child, teaching his son not only to learn to bear all kinds of hardships, but also to become an upright man. The clever Yue Fei gradually understood the true meaning.

Once, some of Yue Fei's sworn brothers wanted to block the road and rob him because they had no food to eat. They came to make an appointment with Yue Fei. Yue Fei thought of his mother's usual teachings and refused to agree. He also advised them: "You must not do things like blocking roads, robbing people, or seeking wealth or killing people!" The brothers tried to persuade them again and again, but Yue Fei was not moved. When his mother-in-law came back from outside, Yue Fei told his mother everything. Her mother said happily: "Son, you did the right thing. People are poor and their ambitions are endless. We can't do those things that are harmful to nature!" Yue Fei was influenced by his mother. Next, I put extra strict demands on myself and learned good skills. He first learned the "main skills" from Tangyang gunman Chen Guang, then learned riding and archery from fellow villager Zhou Tong, and then studied "Sun Tzu's Art of War". He soon became a young man with both civil and military skills, and was highly praised by the villagers.

Yue Fei went to the rescue with Deputy Marshal Zongze and defeated the Jin army many times. He was appreciated by Zongze, who praised him as "intelligent, brave and talented, which cannot be surpassed by ancient generals". However, this year, Kaifeng was still captured by the Jin army. The Jin army captured Emperors Hui and Qin, and the Northern Song Dynasty fell.

In May of the second year of Jingkang, King Kang Zhao Gou ascended the throne as Gaozong, moved the capital to Lin'an, and established the Southern Song Dynasty. The passionate Yue Fei wrote to Emperor Gaozong, demanding to regain his lost territory, but he was dismissed. Yue Fei then transferred to Zhangsuo, the capital of Hebei Province, and served as the commander of the Chinese army. He fought against the Jin army in the Taihang Mountains and made many military exploits. Later, he returned to Tokyo and stayed with Zongze, who became a martial arts master with his military exploits. After Zongze's death, he succeeded Du Chong, who stayed in Tokyo and stayed in Kaifeng.

In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Jin general Wu Shu led the Jin army to invade south again. Du Chong led his army to abandon Kaifeng and fled south. Yue Fei had no choice but to follow him south. In the autumn of that year, Wu Shu continued to invade the south, and Du Chong, who was left behind in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), surrendered without a fight. The Jin army was able to cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and soon captured Lin'an, Yuezhou (today's Shaoxing), Mingzhou and other places. Gaozong was forced to live in exile at sea. Yue Fei led his lone army to fight behind enemy lines. He first attacked the Jin army's defender in Guangde, winning six battles and six victories. When the Jin army attacked Changzhou, he led his troops to rush to help and won four out of four battles. The following year, Yue Fei set up an ambush in Niutoushan, defeated Jin Wushu, regained Jiankang, and the Jin army was forced to withdraw north. From then on, Yue Fei's reputation spread all over the north and south of the Yangtze River, and his reputation shocked Heshuo. In July, Yue Fei was promoted to the governor of Tongzhou Town and also had knowledge of Taizhou. He had more than 10,000 troops and established a "Yue Family Army", a strong anti-gold force with strict discipline and bravery in combat. In the third year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei won the Gaozong Award for "loyal Yue Fei" for annihilating Li Cheng, Zhang Yong and other "military thieves and bandits". In April of the following year, Yue Fei sent his troops northward, defeated the Jin Puppet and Puppet Qi troops, and recovered Xiangyang, Xinyang and other six counties. Yue Fei was also promoted to the military governor of the Qingyuan Army due to his meritorious service. In December of the same year, Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers in Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui), and the Jin soldiers were forced to return north. In the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135), Yue Fei led his army to suppress Yang Mo's uprising army and recruited 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers, which greatly increased the strength of the "Yue Family Army".
