On February 19, the second year of Deyou, I was appointed as the right prime minister and a Tang dynasty ambassador, commanding all the military forces in the country. At that time, the Yuan army was approaching the north gate of the capital, and it was too late to engage, defend and transfer. Officials of the Qing Dynasty, large and small, would gather at the home of Wu Jian, the left prime minister, and they didn't know what to do. Due to the frequent traffic of envoys from both sides, the Yuan Army invited the people in charge of state affairs in the Song Dynasty to meet each other, and everyone thought that I could eliminate the disaster when I went.
I can't even take care of myself when national affairs come to this; It is estimated that Fiona Fang may be moved by this sentence. The emissary was ordered to come and go, and was not detained in the north. I want to check the reality of Fiona Fang, and then come back to seek a plan to save the country. So he didn't accept the seal of the Prime Minister and didn't take office. The next day, I went to the senior minister's hall as a bachelor.
When I first arrived at Yuan Ying, I was indomitable and high-spirited, and Yuan Jun was very alarmed and shocked. They dare not despise our country at once. Unfortunately, Lu Shimeng has already made an enemy with me. He spoke ill of me in front of the Yuan people first, and then he fawned on me, so I was detained and could not return to China, and the state affairs were out of control.
I guess I can't get away with it, so I cut to the chase, scold the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army for not keeping his word, and quote Uncle Meng Lu's words of treason, only seeking death and no longer considering personal interests. Although Yuan Jun showed respect on the surface, he was actually very angry. Two important leaders nominally came to the hotel to accompany them, and at night they sent troops to surround my residence, so I couldn't go home.
Soon, Yu and others went to the capital as envoys, and the Yuan army drove me with them, but they were not among the envoys. I should have committed suicide by rights, but I went with bitterness and humiliation. As the ancients said: "We will make a difference with this!"
When I arrived at Jingkou and had the opportunity to flee to Zhou Zhen, I immediately told the commanders of Huaidong and Huaixi about the actual situation in Fiona Fang, and made an appointment with them to jointly capture Fiona Fang. The chances of revival in the Song Dynasty are almost in jeopardy. After two days, the Commander-in-Chief in Weiyang gave the marching orders.
As a last resort, I can only change my name and surname, hide my whereabouts, March in the weeds, stay in the dew, and meet the Yuan Army every day in the Huaihe River area. Embarrassed and hungry, helpless, the Yuan army offered a reward for pursuit and was very anxious, and the sky was far away, making the sky ineffective and the ground ineffective. Later, I got on the boat, avoided the sandbar occupied by the Yuan army, escaped from the sea north of the estuary, then crossed the Yangtze River estuary, entered Suzhou Ocean, wandered around Siming and Tiantai, and finally arrived in Yongjia.
Alas! How many times have I been on the verge of death! Lambasted the death of the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army; The crime of insulting traitors deserves it; Twenty days later, after arguing with the leader of the Yuan Army for many times, he deserved to die. Leave Jingkou, take a dagger to prevent accidents, and want to commit suicide several times; After berthing for more than ten miles, Yuan Jun warships were searched by patrol boats and almost thrown into the river to feed the fish and died. Zhou Zhen Shoujiang kicked me out of the city gate and almost died.
Go to Yangzhou and pass the Yangzi Bridge in Guazhou, and you will not die when you meet the sentry of the Yuan Army. Yangzhou at the gates, in a dilemma, almost equal to die; Sitting in the soil around Guigongtang, thousands of army cavalry passed by the door and almost fell into the hands of the enemy and died. In Jiajiazhuang, he was almost humiliated to death by patrolling soldiers; I ran to Gaoyou at night, lost my way and almost fell into the swamp and died.
At dawn, I went to the bamboo forest to avoid the sentry. There are dozens of cavalry patrolling, there is almost nowhere to escape, and there is no doubt that they will die. When I arrived in Gaoyou, the government's wanted order was issued and I was almost arrested; After crossing the Chengzi River, I went in and out of the body. Our boat and the enemy sentry boat went in tandem and were almost killed by mistake.
Going to Hailing and Gaosha, I often worry about death without regret; After Hai 'an, Rugao, a total of three hundred miles, Yuan soldiers, thief soldiers one after another, not a day without death; When I arrived in Tongzhou, I almost died because I was not taken in; There is really no way to cross the stormy waves by boat. I have turned my back on death!
Alas! Death and life are only a matter of time. If you die, you die. However, people in the world can't stand my sinister state and staggered dangers. How sad it is to think of the pain after the pain!
When I am in trouble, I sometimes use poems to describe my personal experience. Now I still have those papers, and I can't bear to abandon them on the way to escape and make copies myself. Now, those who are sent to Yuan Ying and detained outside the north gate are regarded as a roll; Depart from the north gate, pass through Wumen and Piling, and cross Guazhou.
Back to Beijing, make a roll; Escape from Jingkou and rush to Zhou Zhen, Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Taizhou and Tongzhou, which is a volume; From the sea to Yongjia Sanshan, it is a volume. I will keep this poem at home so that later people can read it and lament my ambition.
In the summer of May this year, it was renamed Jingyan, and Luling Wen Tianxiang prefaced his poetry collection, and named it "South Return".
Original text:
On February 19th, the second year of Deyou, he was removed from the post of Prime Minister Right and served as the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, commanding the whole army. At that time, the northern soldiers were forced to repair the city gate, and it was impossible to fight, defend and move. Gentleman doctor. Scholars are drawn from the left prime minister's office, and they don't know what the plan is. It will make the road cross, invite the country to meet the north, and the generals will say that they can help the disaster.
At this point of national affairs, I can't help but cherish my body. What else can I talk about? Those who sent envoys to and from the north instead of staying in the north gave a policy of returning to the north for help. So I printed the words and didn't worship them. The next day I went to the Bachelor's Senior Advisor Hall.
When I first arrived in Beiying, I was shocked by the generosity of loudly speak, and the North did not dare to despise our country. It is a pity that the former Lu Shimeng was evil, while the latter was flattering, so he was jailed and could not be returned, and the state affairs were out of control. Don't want to take off self-restraint, just bluntly criticized Lu Shuai for breaking his word, and counted Lu Shimeng's uncle as inverse, but he wanted to die and no longer cared about interests.
Although it looks respectful, it is actually anger. Ergui's name is "Kuban", and he was surrounded by soldiers at night, but he couldn't go back.
A few days later, I prayed to Yu and others, which made them have the idea of going to the north and drove them to the north, not for the purpose of messengers. Giving points leads to decisions, but forbearance leads to doing things. As the old saying goes, you will achieve something. For the sake of Jingkou, I had to rush to Zhou Zhen, that is, I told the east and west sections about the actual situation in the north, and my company and I made a big move together. ZTE's opportunity has come.
After staying for two days, Wei ordered the guests to be expelled. As a last resort, he changed his name and surname, followed the path, camped on the grass, and rode with the north in Changhuai. Poor, hungry, bored, chasing to buy urgent; The sky is vast and the horn is whistling. I already have a boat, avoiding Zhuzhou, leaving Beihai, then crossing the Yangtze River, entering Suzhou Ocean, exhibiting Siming, Tiantai and even Yongjia.
Oh! To the dead, I don't know how much. When the chief dies, he despises him; Call the thief dead; On the 20 th, he fought for merits and demerits with your husband and died repeatedly; Go to Jingkou, holding a dagger in case something happens, and almost die; More than ten miles later, the North Ship was found by patrol boats and died in the belly of a fish. Zhenzhou arrived at the gate, and several people hesitated to death.
For example, Yangzhou, crossing the Guazhou Yangtze River Bridge, actually caused a sentry; Yangzhou at the gates, can not advance and retreat, almost died; Sit in court, ride a thousand doors, and several thieves die; Zhuang was patrolled and forced to death; Go to Gaoyou at night, get lost and die; Quality is clear, in the bamboo forest, dozens of loggers ride, and several escape to death; In Gaoyou, under the control of the government, several people were arrested and killed.
It was the fifth day of summer, and it was changed to Yuan Jingyan. Wen Tianxiang of Luling prefaces his poem, which is called "Southern Tour".
Creation background
In the second year of Song Gongdi Deyou (1276), in the first month, the Yuan army arrived at the gate of Lin 'an, and the civil and military officials in the Southern Song Dynasty panicked. Wen Tianxiang stepped forward and was ordered to negotiate with Yuan Ying. In front of the enemy, Wen Tianxiang talked wildly, trying to save the day and persuade the enemy to withdraw. The Yuan Army detained Wen Tianxiang and escorted him to the north on February 9th.
On the night of February 29th, Wen Tianxiang and his party escaped from Zhenjiang, experienced difficulties and obstacles, and then sailed south, first to Wenzhou and then to Fuzhou. He compiled a poem written in a difficult situation into A Journey to the South, with a preface. There are many prefaces in front of every poem, so this article is called the post-preface.
