Yang Wu (886 - June 9, 908), the name Fengtian, the eldest son of Yang Xingmi, the Taizu of Southern Wu, was the monarch of Southern Wu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and reigned from 905 to 908. During the reign of Yang Xingmi, he served as the military envoy of the Yanai, and in his later years, Yang Xingmi was appointed as the Xuanzhou Observer Envoy.

In 905, when Yang Xingmi died, although he was not satisfied with him, because the other sons were young, he had to recall him to instruct the future, and appointed Xu Wen, the commander of the right tooth, and Zhang Hao, the commander of the left tooth, to assist him. In November of the same year, Yang Xingmi died of illness and was succeeded by Yang Wu.

Yang Wu was naturally fond of playing and having fun, and the commanders of the left Yaya made Zhang Hao and the right Yaya command Xu Wen repeatedly refused to listen to the persuasions, and his cronies continued to oppress the old ministers of the father, and the generals were quite uneasy. In 907, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen staged a mutiny, took control of the military and government, and Yang Wu lost all his power. In May of the same year (the fourth year of Tianyou, 908 AD), Zhang Hao and Xu Wen sent people to kill Yang Wu at the age of twenty-three. Then Yang Long, the younger brother of Yang Wu, was called Huainan Liuhou, and all the eastern roads were camped. His younger brother Yang Pu was called the emperor, and Yang Wu was posthumously called Emperor Jing, the temple was called Liezong, and the mausoleum was called Shaoling.

Throughout Yang Wu's life, he left a name for a short time:

Succession to the father's throne

Yang Wu has never had a good reputation, and the people in the Jiedu Embassy despise him. Yang Wu, at first appointed by his father Yang Xingmi as an observer of Xuanzhou, in September 905 (the second year of Tianyou), Yang Xingmi fell ill and sent an envoy to Xuanzhou to recall Yang Wu. In October of the same year, Yang Wu arrived in Guangling. On October 16, Yang Xingmi appointed Yang Wu as the queen of Huainan.

On November 26, Yang Xingmi died, and Yang Xingmi's generals jointly requested Li Yan to appoint Yang Wu as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, the commander of the southeast provinces, and the king of Hongnong County.

Kill Zhou Yin

In the first month of 907 A.D. (the fourth year of Tianyou), after Yang Wu seized Jiangxi, his arrogance and extravagance became even more powerful, and he said to Zhou Yin, the judge of Jiedu: "You betrayed our country, what face do you have to see again!" So he killed Zhou Yin. Therefore, his subordinate general Zuodu felt uneasy.

The power is on the sidelines

Yang Wu drank alcohol day and night during the funeral for his father Yang Xingmi, and lit a thick candle to hit the ball, and a candle cost tens of thousands. Sometimes he went out on horseback alone, and his entourage ran along the road, not knowing where he had gone. The left and right tooth commanders Zhang Hao and Xu Wen cried and admonished, and Yang Wu was furious and said: "You think I have no talent, why don't you kill myself as a festival envoy!" Zhang Hao and Xu Wen were very afraid. Yang Wu selected strong men, known as the "Eastern Courtyard Horse Army", and widely placed cronies as generals and officials; The appointees are arrogant and tyrannical, bullying and contemptuous of the old heroes. Zhang Hao and Xu Wen secretly planned to launch a rebellion. When Yang Wu's father Yang Xingmi was alive, there were thousands of pro-soldiers stationed in Yacheng, where the Jiedu envoy lived, and Yang Wu moved them out and used the vacant land as a place for cavalry and shooting, so Zhang Hao and Xu Wen had no fear.

When Yang Wu was guarding Xuanzhou, he ordered Zhu Siqing, Fan Sicong, and Chen Fan to lead 3,000 personal soldiers; After succeeding to the throne, Guangling was recalled. Zhang Hao, Xu Wen asked Zhu Siqing and other three generals to follow Qin Pei to attack Jiangxi, so they defended Hongzhou, and framed the three generals for plotting to rebel, and sent Chen You to kill them. Chen You marched from a remote path to Hongzhou in six days, wearing civilian clothes and carrying short weapons directly into Qin Pei's tent. Qin Pei was shocked, Chen You told him the reason, so he summoned Zhu Siqing and others to drink, and Chen You counted the charges against Zhu Siqing and others, and arrested and beheaded him. When Yang Wu heard that the three generals would be killed, he hated Zhang Hao and Xu Wen even more and wanted to kill them.

On the ninth day of the first month of the first month of 907 A.D. (the fourth year of Tianyou), Yang Wu dealt with affairs in the morning, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen led two hundred tooth soldiers, holding swords and swords into the court, Yang Wu said: "Do you really want to kill me?" Zhang Hao (hào) and Xu Wen replied: "Don't dare to do this, I just want to kill the people who disturb political affairs left and right!" So he counted more than a dozen of Yang Wu's cronies, dragged them down, and beat them to death with an iron lozenge (an ancient vessel for lubricating the oil paste on the axle). Call it "military advice". Among the generals, who did not work together with Zhang Hao and Xu Wen, the two gradually managed to execute them, so the military and political power was all vested in the two, and Yang Wu could not control it.

Killed and chased

Huainan left the command of Zhang Hao and the right of the command of Xu Wen arbitrarily decided military and political affairs, Yang Wu was unhappy in his heart, and wanted to get rid of them but couldn't. Zhang Hao and Xu Wen felt uneasy, and jointly planned to kill Yang Wu and carve up the territory of Southern Wu to surrender to the Later Liang vassals.

On June 9, 908 (the eighth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Tianyou), Xu Wen and Zhang Hao conspired to send the general Ji Xiang and others to break into Yang Wu's dormitory with weapons, and frankly said to Yang Wu: "I am ordered to kill you!" Yang Wu hurriedly said: "If you can kill Xu Wen and Zhang Hao anyway, I will each crown you as the assassin." Everyone was moved when they heard this, but Ji Xiang didn't agree, and raised his knife to cut it off. Yang Wu fell to the ground with a knife. Ji Xiang saw that he had not lost his breath, and strangled him to death with a rope, and claimed to the outside world that Yang Wu died of a violent illness at the age of 23, and was nicknamed King Jing. Then Yang Long, the younger brother of Yang Wu, was called the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, the capital of the eastern provinces, Tongping Zhangshi, and the king of Hongnong. After Yang Wu's younger brother Yang Pu (Yang Xingmi's fourth son) became emperor (927), he posthumously named Yang Wu as Emperor Jing, with the temple name Liezong and the mausoleum name Shaoling.

Here is a look at Yang Wu's political initiatives, in politics:

During the reign of Yang Wu, the military and political power was in the hands of Zhang Hao (Hao) and Xu Wen. In 907 A.D. (the fourth year of Tianyou), Zhang Hao and Xu Wen led 200 tooth soldiers, holding swords and swords, and went straight into the court, counting the crimes of more than ten of Yang Wu's cronies, and executing them all. Among the generals, who disagreed with Zhang Hao and Xu Wen, the two tried to execute them, so the military and political power belonged to the two, and Yang Wu could not control it.

Militarily: When Yang Wu left Xuanzhou, he wanted to set off with his tent and his own soldiers, but Wang Maozhang disagreed, and Yang Wu was very angry. After Yang Wu succeeded to his father's throne, he sent Ma Budu to command Li Jian and others to lead troops to attack Wang Maozhang.

In the first month of 906 A.D. (the third year of Tianyou), Li Jian's army suddenly arrived in Xuanzhou, and Wang Maozhang estimated that he could not hold it, so he led the crowd to defect to Qian Biao, the king of Wuyue. Tao Ya, the general of Southern Wu, was afraid that Wang Maozhang would cut off his way back, so he led his troops back to Shezhou, and at this time, Qian Biao seized Muzhou in Southern Wu, appointed Wang Maozhang as the deputy envoy of Zhendong Jiedu, and changed his name to Wang Jingren.

In August 906 A.D. (the third year of Tianyou), Wu Yue's army surrounded Quzhou, and Chen Zhang, the assassin of Quzhou, complained to Yang Wu about his urgency, and Yang Wu sent his left carriage horse to wait for Zhou Ben to lead his troops to meet Chen Zhang. After Zhou Ben arrived in Quzhou, Wu Yue's army lifted the siege and fought under the city, Chen Zhang led the people to Zhou Ben, and Wu Yue's army captured Quzhou. The Southern Wu army then withdrew and returned. After Zhou Ben's palace, Wu Yuejun followed behind, and Zhou Ben set up an ambush in the middle and defeated Wu Yuejun.
