The exact time when Yue Fei received the twelve gold medals? And the weather conditions in history can solve the mystery of Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong".

It was an inevitable misunderstanding between Yue Fei and his disciples

Before discussing this issue, let us first study how long it takes to send memorials from Yancheng to Lin'an. Yue Feijun defeated Yingchang on the 20th of the intercalary 6th month, and this month was the 29th. The Song court replied to the provincial letter on the 2nd of July (quoted from "Jin Tuoyan" Volume 2 "The third day of the seventh month of Gaozong") "Hand Zhao" (Lan Qingzou, Overcome Yingchang)) The Jiechengzou sent out on July 8th arrived in Lin'an on the 18th (quoted from "Song Huiyao" Bing 14-30). Obviously, it took ten days. On the other hand, it would have been about ten days before Lin'an was sent to the front line of Yancheng.

Let us list the calendar of that period of history:

On June 20, the Yue Family Army. Ke Yingchang,

On July 2, the imperial court received the letter from Ke Yingchang and responded to the provincial letter.

On July 2, the Yuejia Army regained Xijing.

< p>On July 7th, Emperor Gaozong issued an edict and ordered the army to march forward.

On July 8th, Yue Fei delivered a victory report to Lincheng.

On July 11th, Emperor Emperor Gaozong was sent to the army. Strictly ordered Yue Fei to return to the army! At this time, although Gaozong did not know about the battle of Yancheng (note: there is no specific historical data here, there is no doubt)

On July 12, Gaozong received the news that Yue's army had recovered Xijing.

On July 14, Yingchang won a great victory, and Yue Fei sent a memorial

On July 17, Yue Fei received the "Disposal of the Class Master" edict issued by Emperor Gaozong on the 7th.

On July 18th, Jie Fang from Yancheng was sent to Lin'an, and Emperor Gaozong gave him a heavy reward. See (1)

On July 18th, Fei Nu wrote the "Summary of the Imperial Edict of the Master of Qi Zhi". "(2)

Linying won a great victory on July 18th. See "Linying Jiezou" (3)

Note: Since Yue Fei still fiercely submitted a letter on the 18th, the request cannot be made. Banshi. Obviously, Yue Fei was not defeated at all in the battle of Yingchang. Otherwise, as a famous commander, it would be impossible for Yue Fei to ask for troops when his vitality was severely weakened, and he would not be impulsive. When Tongtai suppressed the envoy, he miscalculated the enemy's strength and failed. However, since he destroyed Yang Mo within fourteen days, he decisively retreated when encountering unfavorable situations in the second and third Northern Expeditions to avoid losses (in fact, when he retreated from Taizhou). The same is true, do not fight blindly), obviously he is not a reckless person, and his estimation should be that the memorial for the victory of Yancheng should have arrived, and Gaozong's attitude would change, so he decided to resist the Northern Expedition.

Furthermore, the Battle of Linying was in the northeast of Linying. It was an encounter on the road leading to Kaifeng, rather than detecting the enemy's invasion. In addition to the former army, the other four rulers represented two to three. The four armies, with such a strong force, may be marching towards Kaifeng. Therefore, on the 18th, Yue Fei was still marching on July 18th or 21st. , Master Yue Fei.

This is the mystery.

First, since there were no other major battles after the 18th, except for the legendary Battle of Zhuxian Town. It’s okay to say that Yue Fei prepared to regroup after the 18th. Secondly, if there was a battle at Zhuxian Town, it means that Yue Fei took the risk of resisting the imperial decree. No matter "History of the Song Dynasty" or "History of the Jin Dynasty", Yue Fei was defeated. record. Then why did Yue Fei suddenly return to the army?

The key is, around the 21st, did Yue Fei receive a more severe reprimand from Emperor Gaozong? (As the "Yue Hou Zhuan" said, "Suddenly one day, twelve edicts were issued, ordering the class teacher to go to Que to report something.") According to the ten-day journey from Lin'an to Yancheng, this edict should have been issued on July 11th. . At this time, Emperor Gaozong still had not received any news about the victory at Yancheng, let alone the victory at Yingchang. He was afraid that Yue Fei's army would fail, and with Qin Hui's instigation, he strictly ordered Yue Fei to fight.

On July 24, the report of Yingchang's victory was sent to Lin'an, and Gaozong's attitude began to change.

On July 25, Yang Yizhong sent troops from Lin'an

On July 27, Yue Fei led two thousand cavalry from Shunchang to Lin'an (4)

< p>On July 27th or 28th, Yue Fei's fierce protest letter arrived in Lin'an.

Gaozong changed his attitude and issued an edict:

"On the 18th, I received a report from you to advise me on how to deal with the teacher. It is a pity that I have the opportunity. You are loyal to the country and your words are passionate. I am dissatisfied." Forget it. If you stay close enough, you will have the advantage of the location. Please report that Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi will be with each other. If there is an opportunity, we will advance together and stop for a while to observe the enemy's provocation. We must also support Yang Yi. The mission has started on the 25th of this month, please let me know."

Note that it is mentioned here that Yue Fei needs to be on the same page as Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi. What's ridiculous is that Yang only set out on the 25th and arrived in Suzhou in mid-August. Zhang Jun and Wang De's troops were close at hand, so why not dispatch them? Moreover, according to this sentence, "If you stay less close, you will have an advantageous location. I will report to Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi that they will spend time together. If there is an opportunity, we can make an appointment to visit together. If you stop for a while to watch the enemy's provocation, you must also Judging from the words "support each other", Gaozong still did not allow Yue Fei to take advantage of the victory and advance, and even hinted that he was on the way to withdraw his troops or was stalled. However, Gaozong was not ignorant of Yue Fei's character. He had previously ordered Li Ruoxu to teach Yue Fei to stop his advance, but it didn't work. Why was he confident that Yue Fei would stop now? Obviously, Gaozong knew full well that he had issued a strongly worded edict, which forced Yue Fei to return it.
