Yang Xingmi was born in the sixth year of Tang Xuanzong's middle school (the middle age was absolutely disastrous for the Tang Dynasty. In just a few years, the emperors and generals of the early five dynasties and ten kingdoms were born, especially in the sixth year of Dazhong (852 AD), Yang Xingmi, King of Wu, Zhu Wen of Liang, Ma Yin, King of Chu, and Qian Hao, King of Wuyue, were all born in this year. Known as "Little Taizong", Xuanzong Li Chen of Zhongxing Tang Dynasty knows underground, I don't know how he will feel), Yang Xingmi is tall and powerful, his hands can lift a hundred catties, and he can especially walk, walking on foot a day, and can walk more than 300 miles (the history of the old five dynasties: less lonely and poor, strong, 300 miles a day). In the 21st century, if you focus on training, it will not be a problem to be a weightlifter or a race walker, not to mention competing for Olympic gold medals, at least in Asia.
It's a pity that the five generations are bitter. Yang Xingmi, the child, was helpless, and gradually embarked on the criminal road of stealing, and was caught on the street and sent to Luzhou Assassin Shi Zheng Di, who had a great vision, and saw that he was as strong as a cow, big and powerful, not only let him go, but also recruited him to the army.
At that time, Tang Caizhou assassinated Qin Zongquan and rebelled against Tang (Wumu Wang Ma Yin, at this time he was a big soldier in the Qin army), repeatedly invaded Shouzhou, Luzhou and other places, Yang Xingmi fought bravely, because of his merit as a captain, he also privately funded more than 1oo people, all of them were strong and aggressive outlaws, under their prodding, Yang Xingmi killed his boss and controlled the Luzhou soldiers and horses. At that time, the assassin of Luzhou had become a person named Lang You, and he knew that Yang Xingmi was not easy to deal with, so he wrote a letter of recommendation to his boss Huainan Jiedu envoy Gao Yu: "This Yang brother is very good, my lord, it is better to let him be in charge of Luzhou, just move a nest for me." Gao Biao admired Yang Xingmi very much, and agreed at that time, and praised Yang Xingmi as the assassin of Luzhou.
Speaking of Huainan Jiedu made Gao Biao a well-known figure in the late Tang Dynasty, he once served as the commander-in-chief of the suppression (Huangchao), but this guy in the process of suppressing bandits, the more he suppressed, the more he felt that he was great, and he couldn't look down on the Tang Emperor horizontally and vertically, and the emperor once started a scolding war on the official document, and after the failure of the Huangchao uprising, the Tang Emperor rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and even the old man who guarded the gate of the Chengdu Palace was rewarded, and he forgot about Gao Biao. At this time, Gao Biao regretted it, saw through the red dust, believed in a person named Lu Yongzhi, and believed in Taoism. Lu Yongzhi didn't know where to get a broken sword, fooled Gao Biao into saying that it was a divine sword, Gao Biao was overjoyed, riding a crane carved from wood, dancing a divine sword, and shouting all day long in his mansion: "The crane dances and becomes an immortal", and handed over all the affairs of Huainan to Lu Yongzhi to manage. In less than four years, Huainan complained, and Gao Biao's general Bi Shiduo rebelled, conquered Yangzhou, and imprisoned Gao Biao. It's a pity that this Bi Shiduo is not a good bird, in Yangzhou City, the army plundered, and killed, and set fire, and later he also learned from Gao Yu, and believed in a monk (in the late Tang Dynasty and the early five dynasties, monks and Taoists all belonged to the white-collar class, and they were very open-minded).
Yang Xingmi saw that the time had come, and hurriedly commanded the elite soldiers of Luzhou, galloped Yangzhou, and surrounded Bi Shiduo in Yangzhou. It took half a year to conquer Yangzhou. On the eve of conquering Yangzhou, the panicked Bi Shiduo listened to the monk's words, saying that he was going to die a big man, and Yangzhou City naturally turned the corner. As a result, Yangzhou City still fell, and Bi Shiduo ran away and took refuge in Qin Zongquan.
Yang Xingmi finally captured Yangzhou, opened the city gate and looked, Oh God, Yangzhou City, which has been surrounded for half a year, is simply a hell on earth, there are starving people everywhere, and there are only 2oo households left in the city. Yang Xingmi was dumbfounded, he knew that it was better not to fight. Yangzhou is really a chicken rib. Chicken ribs, tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon it. Before Yang Xingmi could taste the taste of this chicken rib, Qin Zongquan, the Great Cai Emperor of Caizhou, sent his generals, the cannibal demon king Sun Ru, to attack Yangzhou.
This soldier and horse haven't arrived in Yangzhou yet, Zhu Wen of Bianzhou has spoken, Lao Tzu hasn't been the emperor yet, how can you Xiao Qin be the emperor? Therefore, a large army was sent to crusade against Qin Zongquan. Qin Zongquan hurriedly transferred Sun Ru back to his teacher. People say that oranges are born in Huainan and are oranges, and they are called oranges in Huaibei. Sun Ru, who was quite honest in Huaibei, actually wanted to separate from Qin Zongquan and become independent when he arrived in Huainan. His goal is still the same as Yangzhou City, in order to boost morale, and at the same time to distinguish himself from Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru gave his army a very cute name, called "Tutuan Baitiao Army" (I really don't know what he thinks). The army of more than 200,000 people staggered and killed.
Yang Xingmi saw that his capital was not enough, and he didn't play with Sun Ru at that time, he gave up Yangzhou, retreated to the direction of Luzhou, just walked a few steps, suddenly thought, ready to sneak attack Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), his strategist Yuan said: "Hongzhou is controlled by Zhong Chuan, it may not be able to capture it for a while and a half, Xuanzhou soldiers are few and easy to attack, and Xuanzhou is in eastern Zhejiang, get Xuanzhou, we can expand to the east." Zhao Qi, who was guarding the city, was originally the old department of Bi Shiduo, but now that Bi Shiduo is dead, Zhao Qi is erected, and he has nothing to fear. So he went south to attack Xuanzhou. The people of Xuanzhou once again starved to death because of Yang Xingmi's siege, and then Zhao Qi was captured alive, and his general Zhou Ben surrendered.
After entering the city, the generals looted property everywhere, only Yang Xingmi's subordinates, Xu Wen, a native of Haizhou, went to grab food, and then distributed it to the hungry people, and the people were happy (pity those big families). Xu Wen's move also earned a lot of applause for Yang Xingmi, and Yang Xingmi naturally looked up to Xu Wen.
In the midst of joy, Yang Xingmi's number one strategist Yuan Xian suddenly died of illness, Yang Xingmi almost died of pain, and wailed in front of Yuan Xingling: "Is this the will of heaven?" Don't want me to achieve great things? Why take away my femoral humerus! "It's like Cao Cao crying Guo Jia. However, Yang Xingmi's words changed: "I am generous, but Yuan Xi often persuades me to kill, no wonder he will not live forever." I don't know if Yang Xingmi is praising Yuan Xian or belittling him.
For a period of time after that, Yang Xingmi and Qian Miao of Hangzhou competed for Suzhou, Changzhou, Runzhou and other places.
Soon, Sun Ru conquered Luzhou, took Yang Xingmi's old nest, and also sent people south to fight for Su, Chang and other places. The fight between the three families was extremely fierce, and they couldn't tell the winner for a long time.
Later, Sun Ru got impatient and wanted to play big. So, he roughly Huainan, combined 5o troops, crossed the river to the south, and wanted to fight to the death with Yang Xingmi (Sun Ru felt that Yang Xingmi's sworn enemy, this was right, but this kind of abandoning his base and gambling with Yang Xingmi on fate, I really don't know what Sun Ru thinks).
Sun Ru went south, Yang Xingmi on the one hand was strong and cleared, and on the other hand, he sent people to rob Sun Ru's grain and grass, and after robbing it, he also smuggled it to Huainan and gave it to the local people to buy people's hearts. Sun Ru completely did a big wrong, robbed the people of the food, and gave it to Yang Xingmi to engage in charity.
Sun Ru's army ran out of food, so he had to send Ma Yin (Ma Yun's grandfather) and others to disperse to the surrounding states and counties, borrow some food from the people, eat their stomachs, and then fight Yang Xingmi. As a result, before Ma Yin came back, Yang Xingmi's army surrounded him, one was full of food, the other was hungry and screaming, and Sun Ru unfortunately had dysentery, so after such a battle, Sun Ru was captured and the whole army was annihilated.
Yang Xingmi was very happy when he got Sun Ru, and hurriedly killed him in Xuanzhou, sealed his head, and sent him to Chang'an. After Ma Yin, who was borrowing food outside, learned about it, he gathered the crowd to cry and bow for a long time, and led the army to the west, which actually created a world in Dachu. However, the State of Chu and the State of Wu have become enemies because of Sun Ru's affairs, and you often pick my nose and I poke your eyes, and the more you fight, the deeper the resentment becomes.
After Sun Ru's death, Huainan was completely surnamed Yang on this one-third of an acre. The imperial court also pushed the boat along the river, and in August of the first year of Jingfu (892 AD), let Yang Xingmi serve as the prime minister (Tongpingzhang political affairs) as the Huainan Festival envoy, that is, "the minister", and Zhu Wen is the same level.
After that, Yang Xingmi sent troops and conquered Shezhou (now Shexian County, Anhui), Shuzhou, and Haozhou. These battles were all smooth, the only thing worth mentioning is that on the way to attack Haozhou, Yang Xingmi met a homeless child with long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Yang Xingmi asked: "Little friend, where are you from?" Where's your mom and dad? The child cried: "I am from Xuzhou, seven years old this year, nameless, my father and mother died early, so I had to wander Jianghuai and beg for food." Yang Xingmi saw that he was pitiful, and was moved with compassion and decided to accept this child as a righteous son.
It's a pity that Yang Xingmi's eldest son Yang Wu was very unhappy, and he also united his brothers to oppose Yang Xingmi's acceptance of his son. Yang Xingmi had no choice but to transfer this righteous son, who had just been received for a few days, to the general Xu Wen, and instructed: "If it weren't for my family's Wu'er not liking, I would never give this child to you, this child will be able to succeed when he grows up, you have to treat him well." How dare Xu Wen disobey, he immediately accepted this righteous son and named him Xu Zhihe. This person is Ma Yun's father of Mount Tai (Li Jing's father), Li Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty (when Chu and Tang were married, Ma Yun and Li Tang discussed a secret agreement, Feng Yansi once scolded: How can a little carpenter understand military aircraft, this little carpenter is alluding to Ma Yin; At that time, Zhao Pu scolded unequivocally: The three surnames are Anzhi Dayi, and these three surnames refer to Li Yu).
The territory is getting bigger and bigger, Yang Xingmi's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, after swallowing the small fish and shrimp around, he either went north to race horses with Zhu Wen in the Central Plains, or looked for Qian Miao in Wuzhong to fish and fish, it was really boring, so he turned his head to find Ma Yin in Jingnan to drink tea, but unfortunately, these people are all heroes in the world, definitely not people like Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi did not take much advantage, not to say, he fought for many years, accumulated hard work, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and at this time, Yang Xingmi suddenly appeared, and he did one thing wrong: he was too hard-working, and he fought in the north and south, I do everything by myself, my sons are all watching from the side, and I basically haven't had much contact with military politics, but now I'm about to hang up, and my sons haven't gone through any experience, what can I do? He has a total of four sons: Yang Wu, Yang Longyan, Yang Meng, Yang Pu, according to the rules, it should be the eldest Yang Wu who takes the throne.
At this time, it was too late to regret it, so Yang Xingmi sent his henchman Zhou Yin to go to Xuanzhou and find his eldest son Yang Wu, if he didn't come, he might not be able to stand it. But Zhou Yin knew what kind of goods Yang Wu was, and he was unwilling to let Yang Wu take the throne, so he persuaded: "The eldest young master is playful, good at wine and sex, and is not a master of success." The other young masters are good, but they are too young. It is better for the king to let Liu Wei, the assassin of Luzhou, take charge first, Liu Wei and the king were born and died for 30 years, loyal and reliable. When the little masters grow up, it is not too late to let Liu Wei pass on the throne. β
Yang Xingmi's hard-fought world was passed on to Liu Wei, an irrelevant person? No one can agree, Yang Xingmi ignored Zhou Yin. After Zhou Yin withdrew, Xu Wen took the strategist Yan Keqiu to see Yang Xingmi, and Yang Xingmi told Xu Wen what Zhou Yin meant. Xu Wen was shocked: "The king must not do this, otherwise, the Yang family's foundation will have to change his surname from now on." Jiangdong was originally a king who sacrificed his life, how could he give it to Liu Wei, an outsider, for nothing. β
Yang Xingmi nodded bitterly: "Then I will be relieved." "Xu Wen is afraid that Zhou Yin will do bad things, so they will bow down to Liu Wei in the future, there is no reason for this, it is better to bow down to Yang Wu. Xu Wen was in a hurry to ask Yan Ke to go to Zhou Yin's office to get the tiger talisman, but Zhou Yin was not there at this time, and Xu Wen immediately sent someone to Xuanzhou to inform Yang Wu to come to the capital to be ordered.
Yang Wu was more anxious than anyone else, and quickly entered the capital and accepted his will. Yang Xingmi sighed with tears: "Life is over! Rich in this life, what a pity! Only Zhu'er is foolish, does not know the big plan, and hopes that the public and other good things will assist him. After asking for the future, Yang Xingmi swallowed his breath. He was fifty-four years old in 9o5 C.E.
Yang Wu held a grudge, and the first thing he did after he got his ambition was to bring Zhou Yin, who almost made the Yang family extinct, and scolded Zhou Yin: "You are really fucking beasts!" My dad has won the world in a hundred battles, you actually want to pass it on to outsiders, today's situation, what can I say! "Push Zhou Yin outside the hall and hack him to death.
Yang Wu was born in a wealthy family, so he naturally wants to talk about the quality of life, he likes to spend the night, especially like to play ball at night. In ancient times, when there was no electricity, candles were naturally a must-use, and the candles used by Yang Wu were all high-quality goods, with good quality and high prices, and each candle was even worth tens of thousands of dollars. Anyway, he has money, and he doesn't feel very luxurious.
The old ministers Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were very dissatisfied with Yang Wu's perversion, and often persuaded him to respect himself, Yang Wu immediately asked: "I am this virtue, if you think I am not a weapon, just kill me, you should be the king of Wu!" The two retreated without a word, and began to seek self-protection from Yang Wu as arrogant. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao didn't have the right temper, but at this time, Yang Wu wanted to wipe them out, so he had to temporarily form an alliance.
So, the two partnered and carried out a coup d'Γ©tat, turning Yang Wu into a puppet and becoming the spiritual leader of Great Wu. However, Yang Wu is the rightful King of Wu after all, and Xu Zhang and the others are always unsure, so it is in their best interests to get rid of Yang Wu. In May of the second year of Liang Kaiping (9o8 AD), Xu Wen and others recruited a group of strongmen in the rivers and lakes and broke into the mansion to kill Yang Wu. Before Yang Wu died, he played a beautiful anti-intrigue strategy: "What benefits did Xu Wen give you?" If you listen to me, go over and kill Xu Wen and them, and I will make you all the assassins of Dazhou. "These strongmen are mercenary and promised Yang Wu. But there was Xu Wen's henchman Ji Xiang in this, and this guy immediately stepped forward to strangle Yang Wu. As soon as Yang Wu died, Yangzhou City became lively again.
