In February 577, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, led an army to destroy the Northern Qi and unify the north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 420, the Southern Dynasty has continuously changed its regimes, and there have been four dynasties of Song (known as Liu Song in history), Qi (known as Southern Qi in history), Liang (known as Southern Liang in history), and Chen Gong like a marquee.

The first to overthrow the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Liu Yu, who was born poor but brave and good at fighting. After defeating Lu Xun, recovering Guangzhou, and successively eliminating the separatists Liu Yi, Qian Zong, and Sima Xiuzhi, he forced Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Sima Dewen to "Chan Rang" on June 14, 420, and established himself as emperor, with the name of the Great Song Dynasty and the capital of Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). This was the beginning of the Southern Dynasties.

In April 479, Xiao Daocheng, who was born in a low-level scholar clan but held military power, took advantage of the chaotic situation of killing each other within the royal family and between monarchs and ministers in the last years of the Liu Song Dynasty to force Emperor Liu Zhun of the Song Dynasty (later killed, at the age of 13) to give him the "Zen position", and the country was named Daqi, and the capital was Jiankang.

In 502, Xiao Yan, the assassin of Yongzhou, who was good at literature, took advantage of the civil strife and launched a military coup d'état to seize the throne, establish the Liang Dynasty, and set the capital Jiankang. Xiao Baorong, the emperor of Qi and who was deposed and killed by Xiao Yan, was only 15 years old.

In October 557, Chen Baxian, the former general of the Liang Dynasty, forced Emperor Xiao Fangzhi of Liang Jing to "take the throne" (only 15 years old when he died) and established the Chen Dynasty (the only dynasty in China that used the royal surname as the name of the dynasty), with the capital Jiankang.

Compared with the war in the north, the south is relatively socially stable and the economy is relatively prosperous.

The era in which Yang Jian lived in middle age was the end of the strong crossbows of the Southern and Northern Dynasties - the era of confrontation between the Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Northern Dynasty. 】

Yang Jian's ancestors originally lived in Daibei Wuchuan (west of present-day Wuchuan County, Inner Mongolia).

[Daibei Wuchuan can be called the hometown of high-yield emperors: from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there have been 21 emperors here, of which 4 have created new dynasties (Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang)! This is a unique miracle in the history of China and even in the history of the world! 】

In 524 (the fifth year of Emperor Zhengguang of Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty), the Six Towns Uprising broke out in Inner Mongolia!

Yang Jian's grandfather, Yang Zhen, fled with his family to Zhongshan (now Dingxian County, Hebei) to escape the war, but was killed by the rebels!

The family was ruined, and his father Yang Zhong had no choice but to embark on the road of escape again, and fled to the Southern Dynasty (the capital of the country is now Nanjing, Jiangsu), where he joined the army to make a living. After several changes of ownership, due to his outstanding military achievements, Yang Zhong became the command of Dugu Xin, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. He is one of the twelve "great generals" second only to the "Pillar Country".

Since then, Yang Zhong has fought in the south and the north, made many military exploits, and became a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty and later the Western Wei Dynasty! The official position also soared: the governor of the capital, the general of the military cavalry and hussars, the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, the great sikong, and was named the Duke of Sui (in present-day Hubei, the Sui Dynasty founded by Yang Jian was named after this).

Yang Zhong became a prominent military aristocrat!

[Zhu Guo, the abbreviation of the general of Zhu Guo, was the highest military attache in the ancient military circles. With the different dynasties, some pillar states controlled real power, and even sat above the prime minister; Some have no office and are only honorable officers, which are used by the emperor to appease his ministers. Duguxin's "Pillar Country" is the former.

The Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty were: Yuwentai (the actual founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His fifth daughter, the eldest princess of Xiangyang, married Dou Yi, the Shenwu Duke of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and gave birth to the Empress of Tang Taimu Shunsheng, who was Li Shimin's great-grandfather), Yuan Xin, Li Hu (Li Yuan's grandfather, Zhou replaced Wei and posthumously named him Tang Guogong, from which the "Tang" country name derived), Li Bi (Li Mi's great-grandfather), Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin (Yang Jian's father-in-law, Li Yuan's maternal grandfather), Hou Mo Chen Chong. Yuwen Taishi is the commander of the whole army, Yuan Xin is named because he is the emperor's throne, and the two generals of the other six pillars are in charge of the government soldiers. Each general controlled two Kaifu, and each Kaifu led an army, a total of 24 armies, constituting the Western Wei Prefecture soldier system model. 】
