Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"After Zhu Xi lost his father,"

"I have always lived with Liu Ziyu."

"He was Zhu Xi's teacher,"

"He was also equivalent to Zhu Xi's adoptive father,"

"It had a profound influence on Zhu Xi's thought."

"As for martial arts, Liu Ziyu started joining the army with his father when he was eleven years old,"

"It is rumored that he practices shooting 300 arrows every day."

"Moreover, he was well-versed in military strategy and made contributions during the campaign against Fang La."

"But his true fame came after the Jingkang Incident."

Zhao Yuan understood: "Is this man also a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said, "He's not a famous general, but a famous commander."

"His father, Liu Ge, died during the Jingkang Incident,"

"He was recommended by Zhang Jun,"

"To Qin Prefecture to take command of the five armies."

"This man has a very effective way of training troops."

"To train a strong army in a short period of time,"

"Recover lost territories such as Yan'an, Jinning, Linfu, Fuzhou, and Fangzhou."

"He was promoted to a close advisor to Zhao Gou for his meritorious service,"

"Later, there was a major rout at the front,"

"Liu Ziyu was once again entrusted with a critical mission,"

"Quickly assembled over 100,000 scattered soldiers and unaffiliated troops,"

“Wu Jie, Guan Shigu and others were all under his command.”

"Without Liu Ziyu's overall planning,"

"There was no great victory at Heshangyuan like Wu Jie's,"

"It is estimated that the Sichuan-Shaanxi defense line of the Southern Song Dynasty collapsed at that time."

"This guy looks a bit like a firefighter,"

"He went to put out fires again a few years later."

"At the most dangerous time, he was a regional commander,"

"He actually led three hundred soldiers to guard the mountain stronghold,"

"Standing at the forefront of the Jin army's attack."

"It's a pity that he was framed by treacherous officials and demoted despite his meritorious service."

"After that, I served as a local official for more than ten years."

"In the end, he rose from a local official to the front lines,"

"Faced with the Jin army's southward advance, we adopted a scorched-earth policy and fortified our defenses

"The evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people was carried out in an orderly manner."

"But because they pulled down the insulting flag used by the Jin people during the peace negotiations,"

"Impeachment undermines important peace negotiations,"

He was dismissed from office at the age of forty-five and went into seclusion.

Zhao Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "You've done so much!"

"He's only forty-five years old!"

"Isn't this person younger now?"

"He should be around thirty years old this year,"

Wen Huanzhang silently calculated in his mind,

"This person doesn't appear much in historical records,"

"But every time I take over, I end up with a mess,"

"And they always manage to save the day from collapse."

"But his official career..."

"I spent most of my time as a local civil servant,"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with the military."

"The character's attributes are at least S-rank or higher,"

"But whether we can get a double S or triple S rating,"

“This means he needs to do more.”

"After all, he served as a general for too short a time."

Zhao Yuan automatically ignored the S attribute and said,

"Then let him take over Huanqing Prefecture."

Following their normal trajectory, Liu Ge and his son Liu Ziyu...

He should be transferred to Shouzhen Ding this winter.

Their steadfast defense lasted for several months, forcing the Jin army to retreat without achieving anything.

They previously served as officials in eastern Zhejiang.

Liu Ge was promoted to the capital by Zhao Huan.

The family had just arrived in Huainan,

Then Li Bao led his troops to conquer the Huai River region.

After that, Li Bao led his troops to Kaifeng.

Fang Mengqing led a group of new recruits to continue conquering cities and seizing territories.

Then, the distinction between soldiers and bandits became blurred, creating a chaotic and unpleasant situation.

At Fang Mengqing's urging,

The father and son helped take over Lianshui.

He only took two months

The strategy of both suppression and appeasement was adopted to eliminate banditry.

They even had the ability to help suppress bandits in the neighboring Chu Prefecture.

Wang Yuan led a thousand heavily armored guards.

Heading to Lianghuai to clean up and reorganize the new army,

Liu Ge and his son Liu Ziyu also contributed significantly.

Therefore, he was jointly recommended by Li Bao, Wang Yuan, and Fang Mengqing.

Liu Ge was appointed as the first prefect of Huai'an after the reform.

The three brothers, Liu Ziyu, Liu Ziyi, and Liu Zihui,

However, Zhao Yuan personally summoned him to the capital to serve him.

All three brothers were assigned to the Hanlin Academy to compile books.

I'm so bored all day long.

Now, he has suddenly been summoned to the palace.

Chapter 1749 First-Class Soldiers

Halfway there, Liu Ziyi said with a smile,

"If any official of the Hanlin Academy is summoned,"

"He will certainly be given an important position immediately,"

"My two brothers and I have finally made it through."

"But we don't know where he's been assigned," Liu Zihui said.

Liu Ziyu said, "It's good that I can get things done."

"It's very stifling to always be compiling books in the Hanlin Academy."

Liu Zihui sighed, "I only hope that the Ming Dynasty will pacify the south soon."

"My grandparents are still in their ancestral home in Fujian."

Liu Ziyi said, "I've heard that the tyrannical ruler refuses to change his wicked ways."

"It has already forced the people of Fujian to rise up in rebellion,"

"I only hope that this calamity of war will not spread to Chong'an."

Liu Zihui said, "We saw the King of Liang's thousand heavily armored guards in Huainan."

"Orders are strictly obeyed, and military discipline is rigorous."

"Truly a top-tier military force in the world."

"I heard there are three thousand heavily armored guards like these,"

"Wait until Liang Wangteng makes his move,"

"With three thousand heavily armored guards as the main force,"

"Further assist him with the new army of Lianghuai,"

"At most 30,000 men are needed to pacify the southeast."

"The fighting strength of the Ming Dynasty's army is formidable,"

"It is far beyond the comprehension of three thousand heavily armored soldiers,"

Liu Ziyu said,

"The Song Dynasty also had heavily armored soldiers in the past,"

"We can be invincible against the Western Xia army."

"But winning battles is easy,"

"It is difficult to completely annihilate tens of thousands of prisoners."

"This was a great victory over the Western Xia,"

"I'm afraid they have something else to rely on."

All three brothers were accomplished in both literature and martial arts.

Because of their father,

He was a military general who was well-versed in classics and history.

Unfortunately, they were all pro-war faction members of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The eldest brother resigned from his official post and went into seclusion.

The second and third brothers were also forced to resign.

They had a profound influence on Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

Liu Ziyu and Liu Zihui were both Zhu Xi's teachers.

This led to the rise of the Neo-Confucian school, represented by Zhu Xi.
