When it comes to the most famous Jiangmen in Chinese history, nine out of ten people will probably think firstYang Jiajiang
In the romance story about the Yang family generals, the Yang family always appears as an image of being able to fight well, even if it is a female dependent, women are not allowed to have eyebrows, which derives the story of the Yang family female generals.
Therefore, the Yang family has many popular battle stories on his body, and people are enthusiastic to watch.
However, the background of Yang Jiajiang's story is the Northern Song Dynasty, and we all know thatThe fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was quite rapid, and there was no Yang family to save them
So when the Northern Song Dynasty fell,Why didn't the Yang family come out to save the country anymore?
This is becauseThe achievements of the Yang family in history are not as brilliant as in the romanceBy the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the descendants of the Yang family had become nobodies, so much so that they did not leave their names in the history books.
In the romance, the Yang family will continue for 7 generations, and all generations have talents who can fight well.
But in real history,The Yang family will have names and surnames that have been recorded in the history books for three generationsAfter these three generations, the Yang family has not left any record in history.
In addition, those female generals of the Yang Sect are also apocryphal stories of romance, and some of the characters in them have prototypes, but their experiences are very different from the real history.
Real historicalThe first generation of the Yang family will mainly be based on Yang Ye, in Romance he is also known as Yang Linggong.
Yang Ye was originally a border guard of the Northern Han Dynasty, but surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, and then began to shine in the military group of the Song Dynasty.
Historically, Yang Ye is also worthy of the title of famous general.
InBattle of Yanmen Pass, Yang Ye led thousands of cavalry to attack around the rear and defeated the 100,000 army of the Liao army, which became famous in the first battle and laid the foundation for the Yang generals.
However, Yang Ye's talent aroused the jealousy of many people, and many people wrote to slander Yang Ye when he was guarding the border pass.
But at the timeSong Taizong Zhao Guangyiis very reasonable, knowing that this kind of border guard will be easily jealous, so he ignores these recitals that say bad things about Yang Ye.
However, since Yang Ye will be jealous and hated in the court, he will definitely be "black-shot" on the battlefield.
InThe Northern Expedition of the Northern Song Dynasty in the third year of Yongxi, Yang Ye was betrayed by his colleagues, and after he led the army to lure the enemy to send troops, other troops did not come to reinforce as agreed, which made Yang Ye fall into a situation of fighting alone, and finally died in battle.
After Yang Ye's death, the Yang family will not be as prosperous as in the romance story, starting from his son, the Yang family will be weakening step by step.
The representative of the second generation of Yang generals is Yang Ye's eldest sonYang Yanzhao, he, like his father, is also a border guard.
Unlike his father, there are few records of Yang Yanzhao taking the initiative to attack, and most of his exploits in defending the city have been recorded in the history books.
By the time of the third generation of the Yang family, the representative figure was Yang Yanzhao's sonYang WenguangFinish.
In the romance, Yang Wenguang was fabricated as the son of Yang Zongbao and became the sixth generation of Yang generals, several generations behind Yang Wenguang in real history.
Compared with his grandfather and father, Yang Wenguang's exploits are more mediocre, and even after his death, he was only posthumously giftedThe same state defense envoy, whose status is equivalent to that of the highest commander of the militia forces of a city now.
After Yang Wenguang, the entire Yang family seemed to have disappeared from the history books, and there was no record at all. By the time the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the former Yang family general was just a nobody who didn't know where.
The reason why the Yang family will continue to weaken in the long course of history has a lot to do with the foreign policy of the Song Dynasty at that time.
During the first generation of Yang Jiajiang Yang Ye, the Song Dynasty was still more enterprising and eager to hopeRegain the sixteen states of Yanyunto create a unified Song Dynasty.
Therefore, at that time, the Song Dynasty attached great importance to armaments, and soldiers were also very promoted in this social state, so there was the legend of the first generation of Yang generals.
However, by the time of the second and third generations of Yang generals, the Song Dynasty's foreign policy changed to mainly defensive, so the Song Dynasty's armament was slack, and the soldiers did not fight, so promotion naturally became difficult.
Therefore, we can see that the second and third generations of Yang generals are officials who are smaller and younger from generation to generation, and their social status is lower from generation to generation.
WhileAfter the third generation of the Yang generals, the army of the Song Dynasty was already quite sluggish, and even defending the city became difficult, so there was the later shame of Jingkang.
Maybe among the 100,000 people and princes and ministers captured by the Jin army at that time, there were descendants of the Yang generals.
The reason why the story of Yang Jiajiang is famous is that the story in the romance far exceeds the performance of real history, and has a lot to do with the historical development of our country.
The story of the romance of the Yang generals was largely written during the Yuan Dynasty, which was a period of Han Chinese and the ruling classMongolianA time when the contradictions are quite enormous.
Therefore, this induced the *** of the Han peopleFight against the Liao and Jin states, and the Yang family, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, will become a frequent visitor in the storytelling.
Later, after people continued to sing and history continued to superimpose and evolve, and finally formed what we seeThe Yang family will be the story
From this, we can see that although the Yang family is a very powerful Jiangmen family, their historical achievements are not as powerful as in the romance, and the special history and development process of our country have pushed them to that position.
