Biography
许直，如皋人。
明史卷二百六十六 列传第一百五十四：
许直，字若鲁，如皋人。崇祯七年成进士。出文震孟之门，以名节自砥，除义乌知县。母忧归，哀毁骨立，终丧蔬食，寝柩旁。补广东惠来县。用清望，征授吏部文选主事，进考功员外郎。
贼薄都城，约同官出赀飨士，为死守计。城陷，贼令百官报名。直曰：“身可杀，志不可夺。”有传帝南狩者，直将往从。见贼骑塞道，出门辄返，曰：“四方兵戈，驾焉往？国乱不匡，君危无济，我何生为！”已，知帝崩，一恸几绝。客以七十老父为解，直曰：“不死，辱及所生。”赋绝命诗六章，阖户自经。越旦视之，神气如生。赠太仆卿，谥忠节。本朝赐谥忠愍。
直有族子德溥者，在南，闻庄烈帝崩，大哭数日。扬州陷，又哭数日。每独坐辄恸哭，食必以崇祯钱一枚置几上，祭而后食，食已复哭。又刺其两臂曰：“生为明臣，死为明鬼。”事发，死西市。
