As mentioned earlier, in the Southern Dynasty, Chen Ba first took advantage of the Southern Liang Rebellion and established the State of Chen in 557, known as Southern Chen in history. In this way, there were two regimes in the Southern Dynasties: one was the state of Chen, and the other was the puppet regime of Western Liang/Later Liang established in Jiangling by the Western Wei and Great Zhou/Northern Zhou to support Xiao Yan, the grandson of Emperor Wu Xiao Yan.

Looking at the previous introduction, I also know that the Southern Liang was stirred up by Hou Jing in chaos, although Chen Baxian established the Chen State, but the remnants of the Southern Liang did not all surrender, plus there was the threat of the Northern Qi, Chen Baxian at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was a helpless and embarrassing state of "the order is not out of Jiankang thousands of miles away", Chen Baxian on the one hand encircled the Jiangzuo Hao clan, restored the economy of the south of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, fought everywhere, sought peace everywhere, and recovered the lost land in Huainan from the hands of the Northern Qi.

Chen Ba was born at the grassroots first, and after becoming the emperor, he did not get carried away with his squandering, and history called him "a few regular meals, private feasts, all clay clam plates, dishes are ashamed, and the order is sufficient, not for waste." Chuping Hou Jing, and Li Shaotai, and their children were all awarded soldiers. Those who fill the room are not heavily colored, decorated with no gold and emerald, and the brother Zhong is not listed in the front. As for practicing Zuo, being frugal and thrifty", in short, it is a simple life.

Unfortunately, Chen Baxian only reigned for three years, and died in 559 (three years of Yongding in the south, ten years of Tianbao in the Northern Qi, the first year of Wucheng in the Northern Zhou, five years in the Dading of the Western Liang, and two years of the Tianqi of the Southern Liang) at the age of fifty-seven.

Chen Baxian had four sons, but only the fourth son survived - Chen Chang, after the fall of Jingzhou, Chen Baxian's elder brother Chen Daotan's second son Chen Ji, was captured by the Northern Zhou Dynasty together with Chen Chang, so when Chen Baxian established the Chen State, his only son was a prisoner in the Northern Zhou.

There are some tongue-twisters about Chen Ji, however, remember this person.

Chen Baxian ascended the throne, frequently sent envoys to the Northern Zhou to release Chen Ji and Chen Chang, the Northern Zhou expressed his agreement to release, but never put into action, until Chen Baxian died, Chen Guo had no heir, so Chen Baxian's nephew, Chen Daotan's eldest son Chen Qian took over the throne, 560 years in the first month of the Yuan Dynasty, called "Tianjia". In order to create some civil strife for Chen Guo, the Northern Zhou Dynasty released Chen Chang instead.

The history books say: Chen Chang believes that he is Chen Baxian's son-in-law, and wrote a letter to his cousin Chen Qian on the way, his words were very polite, asking his cousin to give way, and Chen Qian was very unhappy and so on.

The result was: when Chen Chang was crossing the river, Chen Qian's confidant Hou Andu, when there was no one around, pushed Chen Chang into the Yangtze River and drowned, and announced that Chen Chang had drowned in the river due to a boat breakdown at the age of 24.

In April of the first year of Tianjia (560), the funeral coffin went to Beijing, Chen Qian came out to cry, posthumously dedicated, and was buried thickly. And Hou Andu is even more trusted by Chen Qian.

After Chen Qian seized the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, and internally: rectify the rule of officials, pay attention to agriculture, and build water conservancy, so that the economy of Jiangnan has been restored to a certain extent. During the Chen Dynasty, the politics were clear, the people were rich, and the country was relatively strong, and the history was called "the rule of Tianjia".

Foreign:

Sweeping away the remnants of the South Beam:

In October 559, Wang Lin learned that Chen Ba had died first, and led his army eastward to support Xiaozhuang out of Tunweixukou (now Chaoxian County, Anhui), and the Northern Qi sent Murong Yan to lead an army to force the Yangtze River to support him. In November, Wang Lin invaded Da Lei (now Wangjiang County, Anhui), and Chen Qian resisted with Hou Yao, Hou Andu, and Xu Du. In the first year of Tianjia (560), when Wang Lin and Hou Yao fought in Wuhu, the Northern Zhou sent troops to attack Jingzhou, but Wang Lin was defeated, Wang Lin and Xiao Zhuang fled to the Northern Qi, and the Chen Dynasty became the orthodoxy of the Southern Dynasty.

Forced back the Northern Zhou Dynasty and unified the south of the Yangtze River:

After defeating the combined forces of Wang Lin and Northern Qi, they recovered Jiang and Yingzhou, eliminating hidden dangers in the rear. Then he marched to Baqiu (now Yueyang, Hunan) and cut off the river road. The Northern Zhou army had to retreat quickly under the threat posed by Chen's blockade policy, and it was only then that Chen's regime was initially stabilized. Later, Ouyang Yu, the assassin of Guangzhou, and Chun Yuliang of Guizhou, were successively attached, and the south of the Yangtze River was under the rule of Chen.

Pacifying Chen Baoying's Rebellion:

Before talking about this, I would like to introduce two people:

The first to stay different: Liuyi, a native of Changshan in Dongyang County, has been the county's prominent family for generations. During the Hou Jing Rebellion, Liuyi returned to the township to recruit soldiers, and because Dongyang Juncheng had a conflict with Liuyi, Liuyi led troops to kill Dongyang Juncheng and his wife and children. Taishou Shen Xun went to aid Taicheng, let the county leave a difference, and sent his brother's son to stay in the superintendent to know the county affairs, and he led his troops out of the county capital with Shen Xun.

The capital fell, and Liuyi followed Xiao Dalian, the Duke of Lincheng, and Xiao Dalian named him Sima and entrusted him with military duties.

Leaving a heterogeneous and brutal, without a grand strategy, when he supervised Xiao Dalian's military master, he was blessed with private trees left and right, and everyone hated him. It happened that Song Zixian, the general of Hou Jing's subordinates, crossed Zhejiang, stayed and returned to his hometown, and soon led the crowd to surrender to Song Zixian. At this time, Xiao Dalian also went to Xin'anling in Dongyang, and wanted to go to Poyang, so he was Song Zixian's guide and ordered Xiao Dalian to be arrested.

Hou Jingfeng was retained as the Taishou of Dongyang and took his wife and children hostage. Hou Jingxingtai Liu Shenmao Xingyi rebelled against Hou Jing, and Liuyi superficially agreed with Liu Shenmao, but secretly allied with Hou Jing. When Liu Shenmao was defeated, he was killed by Hou Jing, but only Liuyi was spared.

After the rebellion of Hou Jing was pacified, Wang Seng argued that he left a foreign to comfort Lao Dongyang, and the remaining foreign still entangled the villagers, and set up rock barriers to protect the stronghold, and there were many people under him for a while, and the prefectures and counties were afraid of him.

In the Chen Dynasty, because the political situation of the Chen Dynasty was still unstable, and Liuyi was an ambitious and powerful person, Chen Baxian married the eldest daughter Princess Feng'an to Liuyi's third son, Liuzhenchen, in order to show wooing and appeasement, and then, the levy of Liuyi as an envoy, a loose cavalry, the governor of the South Xuzhou military, the Pingbei general, the South Xuzhou Thorn History, but, Liuyi did not go to work, and kept his Dongyang nest one step at a time.

Staying in Yiyang and disobeying Yin, he expressed the courtesy of a courtier to the Chen Dynasty on the face, but secretly exchanged envoys with Wang Lin, and Wang Lin sent an envoy to Dongyang to temporarily appoint him as an auxiliary official to abide by the order.

After Wang Lin's defeat, Chen Qian sent Shen Ke, the general of the Left Guard, to stay in the county on behalf of the county, this is to seize the right to stay in the other, of course the difference did not do it, sent troops to fight with Shen Ke, but was defeated, returned to Qiantang, and apologized to Chen Qian. At this time, Chen Jun was still fighting in Hunan and Ying, and it was inconvenient to worry more about Liuyi, Chen Qian issued an edict to comfort Liuyi, temporarily enveloping him, and Liuyi also knew that this edict was just Chen Qian's delaying tactics and secretly deployed.

After Xiangzhou was pacified, Chen Qian was finally liberated from the state of being bound, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Hou Andu with confidence:

"Go and kick Liuyi's ass to the master!"

Chen Qian also said very smartly:

"The sin is in one person, and the others don't need to be asked."

In this way, Liuyi became a lonely soldier.

Hou Andu took the army dusty to clean up the differences.
