Another "Heyin Change". The Heyin Change caused irreversible damage to the Northern Wei Dynasty, which led to the situation of the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties. Similarly, Hou Jingcong's mass killing after conquering Jiankang also caused serious damage to the South.
The irreversible damage was caused to the South, which was originally weak and the North was strong. However, due to Hou Jing's interference, the South no longer dared to hope for the North, which also laid the groundwork for the future.
Hou Jing deposed Xiao Gang, and forged the emperor's edict, believing that the subordinates and concubines in a secondary position should be transferred to the direct descendants, and his Zen position was at Xiaodong, the king of Yuzhang, and he changed the name to Tianzheng in the Yuan Dynasty.
On the second day of October (November 15th) of the same year, Xiao Gang was killed by Hou Jing at the age of 49. Hou Jing gave Xiao Gang the posthumous title of Emperor Ming and the temple name Gaozong. Later, Hou Jing was pacified and Emperor Xiao of Liang Yuan was
Yi Zhui was honored as Emperor Jian Wen, and his temple name was Taizong.
In the same year, Xiao Dong was ordered to abdicate, Hou Jing ascended the throne as emperor, the country's name was Han, and it was changed to Taishi of the Yuan Dynasty. The Xiao Dong brothers were locked in a secret room.
Hou Jing, let’s let him play for a while and introduce someone: Chen Baxian.
Chen Baxian was a native of Ruoli under the Great Wall in Wuxing (now Changxing, Zhejiang).
In his early years, he served as the messenger of Xin Yuhou Xiao Ying (nephew of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty) and was highly regarded. In the tenth year of Datong (544), Guangzhou was in chaos and Xiao Ying was besieged. Chen Baxian rescued the siege in a battle and attracted the attention of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. The following year, he was appointed as Jiaozhou
Sima, went to Jiaozhou to attack Li Ben and others.
It can be seen that Chen Baxian is a very capable military commander.
There is a book recording: During Hou Jing's Rebellion, Chen Ba first learned that the capital was under siege and immediately prepared to send reinforcements.
He seems to be a very loyal general, but, haha, let’s just look at it this way.
Chen Baxian did make some moves during Hou Jing's rebellion, but it was only after Hou Jing conquered Jiankang, Xiao Yan was starved to death, and the kings fought in chaos.
Chen Baxian had a low status. Even though he had achieved military exploits, even though he was praised by Xiao Yan and sent a painter to draw Chen Baxian's appearance for Xiao Yan to see, he still lingered far away from the center of the imperial court. Chen Baxian was not willing to do this, so
, after seeing this mess, I felt that I had a chance to make a difference.
Chen Baxian made a move to recruit troops and prepare to attack Hou Jing. However, Chen Baxian was of low status and although he had ambitions, he was still restrained in every way. Xiao Bo, the Marquis of Qujiang of the Liang clan who guarded Guangzhou, persuaded him not to attack Hou Jing.
Xiao Yan's seventh son, Xiao Yi, king of eastern Hunan, was killed in a battle among the kings and won the first prize.
Now that he had won the jackpot, Xiao Yi's next goal was the throne, so he sent troops to attack Hou Jing.
As an aside, the lady in "The Lady is Still Charming" is Xiao Yi's princess Xu Zhaopei.
Chen Ba took the first look:
"Hey, this King of Eastern Hunan is in trouble!"
He dispatched envoys in a hurry and surrendered to Xiao Yi's command.
In the first month of the first year of Dabao (550), Chen Baxian's army set out from Shixing. He gnawed with all his strength, made many military exploits and conquered some places.
Xiao Yixian appointed Chen Baxian as the permanent attendant of Tongzhi Sanqi, envoy Chijie, General Xingwei, governor of Yuzhou, in charge of the internal history of Yuzhang, and changed the title to Changcheng County Marquis. Soon after, he was granted the title of regular attendant of Sanqi, envoy Chijie.
He is the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the six counties, the military advisor and general, and the governor of Nanjiang Prefecture.
And Xiao Yi's army was not idle watching the show.
Xiao Yi's generals Wang Sengbian, Hu Sengyou, Lu Fahe and others defeated Hou Jing's main force in Baling (today's Yueyang, Hunan) and Yingzhou (today's Wuhan, Hubei). The rebel general Ren Yue was captured. Song Zixian was captured, and Hou Jing followed.
Offensive turns to defensive.
In August of the second year of Dabao (551), Chen Baxian prepared to meet with Wang Sengbian, the governor of Xiao Yi's subordinates.
However, because Chen Baxian's reputation was higher than that of Wang Sengbian, Wang Sengbian was afraid.
As someone who has climbed up from the bottom, Chen Baxian understands people's hearts best and understands that his reputation will cause trouble to Wang Sengbian:
I can't let him bother me. I haven't accomplished anything yet. If he shoots an arrow in the back and knocks me out, then why have I bothered for so long!
After much thought, I came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone.
At this time, Wang Sengbian and other armies on the West Route were short of food, and the situation was not good. Chen Baxian had already stored 500,000 shi of military rations. Therefore, Chen Baxian quickly sent 300,000 shi of food to all the armies on the West Route. Wang Sengbian's scruples also won prestige among the armies on the West Route.
Afterwards, Chen Ba first found out that Hou Jing had deposed Xiao Gang, the emperor of Jianwen, and made Xiao Dong, the king of Yuzhang, the emperor, and slapped him on the thigh:
"I can't do Tai Chi here anymore! If I keep doing it, I will become a Tai Chi!"
Therefore, Chen Baxian sent Chief Shi Shen Gun to Jiangling to persuade Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan, to advance.
In November, Xiao Yi, king of eastern Hunan, granted Chen Baxian the title of envoy Chijie, governor of the military affairs of the five counties of Dongyang, Xin'an, Linhai and Yongjia in Kuaiji, general of Pingdong, governor of Dongyangzhou, etc., as well as governor of Kuaiji and internal history of Yuzhang.
In the first month of the third year of Dabao (552), Chen Baxian's South Route expedition army set out from Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi Province). In February, Wang Sengbian and other West Route troops set off from Xunyang again and marched at Baimao Bay (now east of Huaining, Anhui Province). ) joined forces with Chen Baxian.
The two of them first went to the altar to swear an oath and conclude a covenant.
By the way, the ancients really believed in this covenant and oath, which is not binding and can be broken at any time.
After that, the army marched all the way with great momentum, cutting melons and vegetables to fight their way to Hou Jing.
Of course, Hou Jing couldn't wait to be killed and sent troops to fight.
The two parties fought for seventy-seven forty-nine days, and the blood flowed into rivers. The sky was dark, the earth was dark, the sky was blocked, the sun and the moon had no light, the sky was dark, and the demons and monsters were frightened and fled in all directions...
Ahem, let’s get back to normal.
In short, it was a fight between the two parties, and Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbian defeated Hou Jing.
Hou Jing was killed by his generals on the way to escape. After his body was transported back to Jiankang, Wang Sengbian exposed his body in the market. The soldiers and civilians competed to eat it. Even Princess Liyang ate Hou Jing's flesh. Hou Jing's adviser Wang Wei and others were also escorted to Jiangling and executed by Xiao Yi.
Hou Jing had five sons who stayed in the north. The eldest son was skinned by Gao Cheng and boiled to death in a pot, and the remaining four sons were castrated and boiled to death.
I'm complaining, these people are so ruthless! Just kill them, they still use these tricks, I'm shuddering!
The Hou Jing Rebellion, which lasted for nearly four years, was finally put down.
Gou Xiong wrote "Hou Jing's Rebellion" in more detail, not only because he wanted to clearly describe the dangers of attracting wolves into the house without extracting teeth, but also because "Hou Jing's Rebellion" had a profound impact on the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
I won’t explain the influence of politics and economy one by one. Xiong Xiong is not a teacher. If you don’t explain these well, you will become like an old scholar teaching in ancient times. He is rigid and lacks vitality. Therefore, Xiong Xiong only has one thing to say: After Hou Jing’s Rebellion, the Southern Dynasties became more After the Sui Dynasty weakened, the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty became the most powerful countries among the latter three countries, laying a solid foundation for the Sui Dynasty to unify China.
Well, it seems that this article can figure out the impact on politics and economics. Sure enough, Xiong Xiong is very smart, haha... Oops, who gave me a brick?
Mom! Give me a bottle of pulsation, I’m crooked again!
Hou Jing and his party have withdrawn from the stage of history, but history is still advancing ruthlessly.
Xiao Dong, who was deposed by Hou Jing, and Xiao Dong's two younger brothers were released from the secret room by Xiao Yi, but they were not allowed to live and were killed immediately after they were released.
Xiao Yi ascended the throne in Jingzhou (today's Jiangling, Hubei Province), restored the country's title of "Liang", and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chengsheng. At that time, the officials suggested returning to the old capital Jiankang, perhaps because Xiao Yi felt that Jiankang was too close to the Northern Dynasty and was not very safe.
Well, so Xiao Yi did not agree.
Before Xiao Yi ascended the throne, Xiao Ji had proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou (today's Sichuan area). Xiao Ji sent troops to attack Hou Jing, but was a step too late. Hou Jing had been destroyed by Xiao Yi, so he turned to attack Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi sent troops to fight, wrote letters to make peace, paralyzed Xiao Ji, and secretly asked the Western Wei Dynasty to send troops to attack Xiao Ji.
After this communication, Xiao Ji suffered heavy losses and asked Xiao Yi for peace, but Xiao Yi refused. In the end, although Xiao Ji's forces were completely wiped out, it also gave the Western Wei an opportunity to take advantage of, and Yizhou fell into the Western Wei Dynasty.
hand.
In the third year of Chengsheng's reign (554), Xiao Yi actually wrote to Yuwentai, requesting that the boundaries be redrawn according to the old map. In other words, he asked Yuwentai to spit out the Yizhou he had eaten.
How is this possible?! I really don’t know what Xiao Yi was thinking. He didn’t have the troops to seize it, but he made such an overbearing request. Was Xiao Yi’s head spinning? Or did he think he could defeat the Western Wei Dynasty?
When Yu Wentai read the letter, he immediately quit, crumpled the letter into a ball, and threw it aside:
"The big kid still wants to take meat from my mouth! Then I will let you know how powerful I am!"
On the ninth day of October of the same year, the Western Wei Dynasty Zhuguo Yu Jin, Yu Wenhu, and General Yang Zhong led 50,000 troops and marched into Jiangling. On the second day of the first month of the following year, Jingzhou fell.
When Xiao Yi came to the throne in Jingzhou, he asked Chen Baxian to guard Jingkou (today's Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province) and Wang Sengbian to guard Jiankang. Wang Sengbian failed to rescue him in time and Xiao Yi was killed at the age of 47. He was given the posthumous title Emperor Xiaoyuan.
Temple name Shizu.
The courtiers and the strong among the people were all robbed, and Jingzhou was almost in ruins. Chen Baxian's son Chen Chang and nephew Chen Xuben were on duty in Xiao Yi's palace and were also taken captive to Chang'an this time.
After that, the Western Wei Dynasty supported Xiao Yan, the eldest son of Gao Zuwu Emperor Xiao Yan, and Xiao Qi, the son of Xiao Tong, Prince Zhaoming, as the puppet emperor, and established a small kingdom of "Xiliang" with an area of only 300 miles away, named Dading.
Brothers, remember, there is a small country called Xiliang, also called Houliang, here in Hubei.
However, after Xiao Yi was killed, Wang Sengbian and Chen Baxian welcomed the thirteen-year-old ninth son of Emperor Xiaoyuan, Xiao Fangzhi, to Jiankang in February of the following year (555) and established him as King of Liang, preparing to claim the title.
emperor.
If you want to be emperor, just be emperor, why are you still preparing?
It was because Gao Yang, who was already on the throne of God at this time, was unwilling to accept the expansion of the Western Wei Dynasty's power to the south. He also wanted to take advantage of the ruin of the Liang Kingdom and come to carve it up. He sent his younger brother Gao Huan, the king of Shangdang, to lead his troops southward to escort Xiao Yuanming, the Marquis of Zhenyang who had been captured by the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Come and ascend the throne of Liang Kingdom.
Wang Sengbian disagreed at first, but in March of the fourth year of Chengsheng, when the Qi army reached Dongguan (now southeast of Chaohu City, Anhui), Wang Sengbian sent Pei Zhiheng, the governor of Xuzhou, to lead an army to intercept. Pei Zhiheng was defeated and killed.
, Wang Sengbian personally led his troops out of Tun Gushu in fear, and gradually weakened and succumbed to the pressure of Northern Qi.
