Biography

张确,邠州宜禄人。
宋史卷四百四十六 列传第二百五:
  张确,字子固,邠州宜禄人。元祐中,擢进士第。徽宗即位,应诏上书言十事,乞诛大奸,退小人,进贤能,开禁锢,起老成,擢忠鲠,息边事,修文德,广言路,容直谏,遂列于上籍。
  宣和二年,召至京师。青溪盗起,确言:"此皆王民,但庸人扰之耳。愿下哀痛之诏,省不急之务,租赋之外,一切寝罢,敢以花石淫巧供上者死。抚绥胁附,毋以多杀为功,旬浃之间,可以殄灭。"忤王黼意,通判杭州,摄睦州事。有自贼中逃归者,悉宥之,访得虚实以告,诸将用其言。盗平,知坊、汾二州。
  宣和七年,徙解州,又徙隆德府。金兵围太原,忻、代降,平阳兵叛。确表言:"河东天下根本,安危所系,无河东,岂特秦不可守,汴亦不可都矣。敌既得叛卒,势必南下,潞城百年不修筑,将兵又皆戍边。臣生长西州,颇谙武事,若得秦兵十万人,犹足以抗敌,不然,唯有一死报陛下耳。"书累上不报。明年二月,金兵至,知城中无备,谕使降。确乘城拒守,或献谋欲自东城溃围出,且探确意。确怒叱曰:"确守土臣,当以死报国,头可断,腰不可屈。"乃战而死。
  钦宗闻之悲悼,优赠述古殿直学士,召见其子乂,慰抚之曰:"卿父今之巡、远也,得其死所矣,复何恨。使为将为守者皆如卿父,朕顾有今日邪!"敛容叹息者久之。
