The last star of the Jin Dynasty: Chen Yanhong, a monk who defeated 8,000 Mongolian soldiers with 400 men.

Yan Hong and Monk Chen (1 192— 1232), whose real name is Yi, is posthumous title Monk Chen. Fengzhou (now east of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) is a native. Father Hong Yan begged his brother to fight the Song Dynasty during the Taihe period in Zhang Zong, and awarded the Tongzhi Prefecture with military exploits. Soon, he died in Jialing River.

In the early years of Emperor Xuanzong of Jin Dynasty, Mongolian troops invaded the Central Plains and occupied Fengzhou. At that time, Chen Sanzang was in his twenties. He was captured by the Mongolian army and served under the account of the Mongolian guard. His mother still lives in Fengzhou and is supported by her brothers. Years later, Monk Chen asked Fengzhou to return it on the grounds of mothering, and the guards sent troops to monitor it. Monk Chen and his brother violently robbed and killed prison guards, seized more than ten horses and fled to his mother's south gold. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by Mongolian soldiers and chased together on horseback. They left their horses and ran away along the path. My mother was too old to walk, so she pulled a staghorn cart, and her brothers took her arm and crossed the Yellow River to get back to gold. Xuanzong heard that he had a Spyker (Spyker Mon Mok) and awarded it to the viceroy. Monk Chen tried to make up for the guards. Xuanzong knew that he was very talented and soon turned to serve the royal family.

Soon, Xie Lie became the marshal's office of Hangshou (now Fengtai, Anhui Province) and Si (now northwest of Xuyi, Jiangsu Province), invited monk Chen to accompany him, appointed him as an emissary, and raised funds to join the army. Corporal Xie Lie Jingxian, taking Wang Wo (word Zhongze) in Taiyuan as his experience. Wang Wei's comments on articles are as famous as Yuan Lei and Li Xian, famous Confucian scholars in the late Jin Dynasty, and are highly valued by Xie Lie. Monk Chen is extremely clever and loves literature and history. When he was in the Forbidden City, he gained a reputation as a scholar. Wang W taught him the Book of Filial Piety, The Analects of Confucius, The Spring and Autumn Annals and Zuo Zhuan. If there is nothing in the army, it is the bovine capillary character under the window, like a scholar. In the second year of Zheng Da, Xie Lie went on strike and became the general leader. Monk Chen and his brother live in Fangcheng (now Henan). He took over the army with illness. General Li Taihe fought against Ge Yiweng, the general guarding Fangcheng, and appealed to monk Chen, who argued against Ge Yiweng and ordered the sergeant to stab him. Ge Yiweng is violent. He was humiliated by being beaten by the staff and died of depression. His last words asked his wife to avenge him. His wife appealed to Taiwan Province Province, claiming that monk Chen killed her husband in Qiaonan regardless of his personal interests and accumulated salary. If he doesn't punish him, monk Chen will set himself on fire to thank her husband. So monk Chen went to prison, and the Taiwan remonstrator suspected that he had been guarding the guards and mastering the military power. He must have committed suicide by breaking the law. Please behead him. However, the evidence is insufficient and it has been impossible to make a decision. Chen Sanzang spent eighteen months in prison, gathering books and reading, taking his time. After staying in Zheng Da for three years, Xie Lie recovered and was ordered to arise and defend the west. He died soon. Aizong spared monk Chen's inclination and ferocity, which enabled him to make contributions to the Jin Dynasty.

Monk Chen became commander-in-chief of the army. Zheng Da was handed over to the Ren Zhongxiao army for prosecution four years later. The army of loyalty and filial piety consists of Uighurs, Naiman, Qiang, Xiongnu, and the captured and escaped Central Plains people. The situation is complicated and difficult to control. Monk Chen is well managed and obedient. When I passed through prefectures and cities, I didn't commit any crime in autumn. Every battle is a trap first. If it's stormy, it's a strong team. In the fifth year of Zheng Da, the Mongols attacked Dachangyuan (now southeast of Ning County, Gansu Province). General Pingzhang asked who was the striker, and monk Chen replied. He bathed and changed clothes, and vowed to fight to the death like a dying man. He led 400 loyal and filial piety to ride a happeneth and defeated 8,000 Mongolian soldiers. Soldiers of the three armed forces fought bravely in the war and won great victories. This is the first great victory of the rulers since the Jin-Meng War. Monk Chen put merit first, awarded General Dingyuan and Judge Pingliang House, and was a hereditary schemer, which made him famous in the ruling and opposition circles. Monk Chen and his loyal and filial army are relied on by the whole army. In the seventh year of Zheng Da, the Mongolian family led the Mongolian and Han armies in Hebei to besiege Weixian (now Jixian, Henan). Sanzang Chen and Pingzhang joined forces politically, and Deputy Tang stabbed Pua to save him. He led the army of loyalty and filial piety as a pioneer, defeated the Mongolian army and relieved Weizhou. In the eighth year of Zheng Da, Mongolian Sububitai attacked Shaanxi and sent troops to Tongguan. He led the army of loyalty and filial piety to the rescue, defeated the Mongolian army and drove them back to Daohui Valley (now southeast of Lantian, Shaanxi). In the four or five years after his release, monk Chen repeatedly made meritorious military service, and the official even defended the corps commander.

Chen Sanzang was upright and upright, and the deputy Tang moved Pu 'a to be the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Gold Army, but he had no foresight. He often led troops to plunder the population and livestock in the areas occupied by Mongolian troops nearby, making the soldiers exhausted and no one in the army dared to stop. Monk Chen told his colleagues privately that the deputy commander-in-chief took the general as his policy. Today he earns 300 yuan, tomorrow he gets 1200 cattle and sheep, and the foot soldiers will die. What the country has accumulated for several years, it will do it as soon as it needs someone to do it. Someone told Pua. One day, at a reception for the generals, the wine was drunk by monk Chen. Pua asked: I heard that you once talked about me behind my back, saying that my country and army would be destroyed by my hands. Is it true?/You don't say. After drinking, Sanzang Chen said slowly, Yes. Pua saw his fearless face and had to say, "Forget it. Let's talk face to face in the future. "

In the first year of Tianxing, Hong Yan He Da and Shi Fapu were stationed in Dengzhou to fight a decisive battle with the Mongolian army, but the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, Tuo Lei, avoided the main force of the 8 Jin Army and parted ways. In the first month, Wan Yan He Da and Ispua led 20,000 cavalry and 0/30,000 infantry from Dengzhou. Monk Chen is also in the army. The Mongolian army adopted the tactics of avoiding reality and being virtual, flexible and changeable, and constantly invited 8 Jin Army to attack north. 8 jin j soldiers fought all the way, exhausted. When I arrived in Sansan, Zhou Jun (now southwest of Yuxian County, Henan Province), I was caught in heavy snow and the sergeant didn't eat for three days. His armor stood stiffly in the snow, and his gun froze like a rafter. The Mongols took the opportunity to fully recover, and then attacked on all fronts, and 8 Jin Army suffered heavy losses. Finally, the Mongols deliberately gave up a road to Zhou Jun, and let the 8 Jin Army go north, taking advantage of the situation and attacking, and the 8 Jin Army was completely annihilated. Pua, who moved the thorn, was captured, and Hong Yan He Da and Chen Yanhong led hundreds of Jin Army remnants to ride into Zhou Jun (now Yuxian, Henan).

When the Mongolian army invaded, monk Chen and the sergeant stubbornly resisted in the street and finally failed. Monk Chen hid. When the Mongolian army was finished, he walked up to the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army (it should be Tuo Lei) and said loudly, "I am Daikin, loyal and filial, and the military system is controlled by Yan Yanyi! I beat you in Dachangyuan, I beat you in Weizhou, and I beat you in Huanhui Valley! If I die in a disorderly army, others will think that I have betrayed my country. Today, I died in front of you, worthy of being a loyal minister! " I would rather die than surrender. I will break my tibia first, then make a hole in my ear, and I will vomit blood to death. He is 4 1 year old. The Mongolian general was also moved by his loyalty, so he gave him a grand burial and presented his horse milk. He said, "My hero, you will be my companion after your rebirth!" "

In June of the same year, in recognition of the loyalty of monks, Aizong presented our army to Zhennan, built Zanzhong Temple, and carved stones to record its deeds.
