The first person in the Ten KingdomsYang Xingmi, what is so special?
Yang Xingmi was born with divine power, and he could easily lift objects weighing up to 100 catties. His feet are extremely fast, and he can travel 300 miles in a day, allowing him to travel quickly between heaven and earth. However, Yang Xingmi was not a person who was satisfied with working hard to make ends meet, he had great ambitions and wanted to create a great cause in the troubled times of the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when the first year of Qianfu, in 874 AD, the displaced people in the Jianghuai region revolted, he did not hesitate to participate in the rebellion. But unfortunately, he was imprisoned in the prison of the Luzhou Assassin Mansion.
Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty were lenient, there was zero tolerance for the rebellion of the people, and Yang Xingmi's participation in the rebellion put his life in danger.
Zheng Di's physiognomy skills were very good, and he thought that Yang Xingmi would become a great weapon in the future, so he was desperate to release him. Although Yang Xingmi escaped imprisonment because of this, he also realized that he had no chance of winning the battle with the government, and decided to change his ways and join the government.
After becoming the squad leader, he was conscientious, responsible, and aggressive, and finally won the appreciation of the imperial court and embarked on a right track. Yang Xingmi understands that although a soldier's profession is ordinary, as long as he has a correct attitude and works hard, he will definitely be able to make a difference.
The Ningxia garrison of the Shuofang Army numbered about 10,000 men, most of whom were recruited elite soldiers who had served in the army for three or five, seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, including the lieutenant in charge of the temporary command of the border army, who had served in the army for 12 years, and although he was a deputy captain, he was experienced.
Yang Xingmi was only a recruit, but he was promoted in just two months, and it was possible that he would be transferred to Chang'an and join the forbidden army. This kind of treatment made the vice captain, who had served for more than ten years, very dissatisfied, and he began to oppose Yang Xingmi in his daily work, making it difficult for him everywhere.
However, heroes usually have strong endurance, just like Han Xin was able to endure the humiliation of his crotch back then, and eventually became a general. Yang Xingmi wants to achieve something great, so this aggressive vice captain is the first level for him to temper his mind.
Tolerance and patience are the most convincing**, but Yang Xingmi obviously did not reach this realm. The deputy captain made things difficult for him in every way, and Yang Xingmi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and together with several soldiers, assassinated the deputy captain, and quickly launched a mutiny, seizing the actual command of this border team.
The soldiers on the border had long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and they submitted to Yang Xingmi one after another. Yang Xingmi immediately led the army back to the division, successfully captured Luzhou, and began his career of separating one side.
It seems that Zheng Di, the assassin of Luzhou, did not look at the wrong person, Yang Xingmi is indeed a person who has the ability to achieve great things. But what he didn't expect was that the premise for him to become a big thing was that he had to start from Luzhou under his rule.
Yang Xingmi occupied Luzhou in the third year of Zhonghe, that is, in 883 AD.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was in a state of frequent wars and the country was divided. The various festivals made the division of one side, and Yang Xingmi raised the anti-flag. Although the imperial court had no time to quell the chaos, they chose Zhao'an.
As a result, the emperor issued an edict to entitle Yang Xing to the history of Luzhou's assassination, and in a short period of time, he was promoted from a big-headed soldier to a magistrate, and he flourished. Despite this, Yang Xingmi was not satisfied, and he believed that this was only the first step in his success.
Although Luzhou is small and narrow, if Yang Xingmi wants to gain a firm foothold in the troubled times, he must fish for a city with a lot of oil and water. Among the wealthy cities in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou and Hangzhou are undoubtedly the most attractive.
Suzhou and Hangzhou are known as "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below", and the degree of richness can be seen. However, for Yang Xingmi, although he knew the richness of Suzhou and Hangzhou, these two cities had nothing to do with him.
In ancient Jiangnan, the powerful people abounded, and Yang Xingmi's territory and strength were not large, although Suzhou and Hangzhou were rich lands, he could not easily occupy them.
In this case, he decided to lower his goal and turned his attention to Yangzhou. Yangzhou, also known as Guangling or Jiangdu, is located in the central part of Jiangsu Province, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
So, Yang Xingmi led the army to capture Yangzhou, but when he arrived in Yangzhou, he found that his understanding of Yangzhou was still in the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, when Yangzhou City was prosperous and lively, but now Yangzhou City was dilapidated due to war.
The New History of the Five Dynasties, Volume 61, Wu Shijia No. 1 records that the warehouses in the city are empty, the hungry people kill each other and eat, the city is prone to wars, there is a shortage of water and food, and the victims even fight with each other, competing to eat each other, it is simply a hell on earth.
Readers who know me well, my style of writing articles has always been more relaxed and interesting, about the rise and fall of history, the ups and downs of individuals, and the development trend of events, I try to use relaxed and pleasant words to bring you a pleasant reading experience.
But really, humor and fun are just the way I write, and real history is not. The cruel reality of history is not a little cruel, but very cruel, which is exactly the reality that Yang Xingmi is facing today.
He had done his best to conquer Yangzhou City, but found that this place was not as good as his own Luzhou, which ultimately proved to be a waste of effort. Frustration and frustration don't help, in this chaotic world, time waits for no one, a comfortable life is reserved only for the dead, and if you want to live, you have to keep going.
So, Yang Xingmi gave up Yangzhou, attacked several times, and captured Xuanzhou. Xuanzhou is located in Xuancheng City, Anhui Province. Now, the land of Luzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuanzhou has been owned by Yang Xingmi, and he began to realize that his dream has a greater possibility.
How can he satisfy his ambition by only occupying a few small states and counties? It's better to lay a big territory for yourself. So, Yang Xingmi began his road of fighting monsters and upgrading, and his ability to command the army gradually appeared, and soon, from the Huai River to the south and the Yangtze River to the east, almost all the large and small counties along the road were occupied by Yang Xingmi.
After experiencing this series of events, Yang Xingmi finally understood his life path, what he wanted was not the fame of the imperial court, but to create his own country and become the overlord of Jiangsu.
In the second year of Tianfu, in 902 AD, after years of tempering, Yang Xingmi was no longer the frizzy young man he was back then, and he successfully became a tyrant in Jiangsu.
The imperial court saw that Yang Xingmi's power was gradually growing, and it was no longer stingy, and immediately crowned him as "King Wu", making him a regular army certified by the Tang Dynasty.
Standing at the head of the city, Yang Xingmi was wearing armor and overlooking the vast land of China, with beautiful green forests and vast mountains and rivers. He was full of emotion in his heart, he had fought all his life, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, as if he had reached the end of his strong crossbow.
Looking at the horizon, the mountains and rivers, the grass and trees, smart and vibrant, are all worth reading carefully. He couldn't help but feel sorry for his obsession with power and conquest, and neglected the beauty around him.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that everything in this world was so beautiful and worth cherishing.
He fell into a deep desolation, his heart could not be calmed, and he even staggered a little, and a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth, and then he fell to the ground, and there was no more sound. The gushing blood scattered in all directions, and through the air, like a drizzle, fell from the city, and was shone by the afterglow of the setting sun, shining a bewitching red.
In 905 AD, the second year of Tianyou, Yang Xingmi died at the age of fifty-four. His life may have ended, but his story lives on forever. He once struggled in prison, struggled in the wind and sand outside the fortress, shed blood in the war, and also divided one side, showing heroic majesty.
Yang Xingmi, your life is worthy of this world, your glory belongs to you, your battlefield also belongs to you, the supreme glory and glory at that moment, you know, only, you know.
