Liang Ying, a famous general in the late Jin Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty: the guardian of peace in troubled times.
This is a biographical story focusing on the life of Liang Ying, a famous general in the late Jin Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. It has 21 chapters with the core of "wisdom and bravery and benevolence to help the world". It connects the legendary life of a brave village leader who grew up to be a prince of thousands of households. It also outlines the feelings of the family and the country in troubled times of "ending war with war and stabilizing the country with benevolence".
The story begins in Lutai Village (later known as Liangguan Village) in Pingyao at the end of the Jin Dynasty. Mongolian cavalry invaded the border and Jin soldiers corruptly looted. Young Liang Ying formed a village warrior to protect her neighbors. Faced with the dilemma of "resistance will lead to death, surrender and humiliation", he abandoned secular prejudices and united the masses to join Mongolia with the original intention of "protecting the common people". From then on, he embarked on a dual journey of "conquest + appeasement". From Gypsum Mountain's skillful use of the terrain to recruit the remnants of the Jin soldiers, to the decisive battle on the Three Peaks to risk his life to stop the massacre, from the meeting in Mobei to impress Ogedai Khan with his loyalty, to the appointment of Wulu Ten Thousand Households to rectify military discipline and appease the refugees, to the expedition to Sichuan to conquer dangerous passes without bloodshed, Liang Ying always adhered to the bottom line of "not being bloodthirsty", using strategies to reduce casualties and winning hearts with benevolence.
After returning to his hometown, he did not enjoy his glory, but rectified his family tradition, founded "Fengming Academy" to pass on education, repaired Pingyao city walls, built auspicious temples and ancestral halls to benefit his neighbors, and continued his blessings with the concept of "benevolent family inheritance". At the end of the story, Liang Ying passed away peacefully, but her spirit of "being both wise and courageous and serving the people first" has become the spiritual wealth of Pingyao and even the north through the memory of future generations and neighbors, and has been passed down for hundreds of years.
