Biography
刘振之，慈谿人。
明史卷二百九十三 列传第一百八十一：
刘振之，字而强，慈谿人。性刚方，敦学行，乡人严重之。崇祯初，举于乡，以教谕迁鄢陵知县。十四年十二月，李自成陷许州。知州王应翼被害，都司张守正，乡官魏完真，诸生李文鹏、王应鹏皆死。自许以南无坚城。有奸人素通贼，倡言城小宜速降，振之怒叱退之。典史杜邦举曰：“城存与存，亡与亡，人臣大义，公言是。”振之乃与集吏民共守。贼大至，城陷，振之秉笏坐堂上。贼索印，不与，缚置雪中三日夜，骂不绝口，乱刃交下乃死。初，振之书一小简，藏箧中，每岁元旦取视，辄加纸封其上。及死，家人发箧，乃“不贪财、不好色、不畏死”三语也，其立志如此。赠光禄寺丞。邦举，富平人。许被屠，鄢陵人恟惧，守者或遁走，邦举捕得，斩以徇。及城陷，自成欲降之，邦举骂曰：“朝廷臣子，岂为贼用！”贼抉其舌，含血喷之，遂遇害。
开封属邑多陷，殉难者，有费曾谋、魏令望、柴荐禋、杨一鹏、刘孔晖、王化行、姚文衡之属。
