Gou Xiong believes that it is not that Wang Sengbian is weak. The Liang Kingdom is now in ruins. Not only is it ruined, but a puppet has been created here in Hubei - Xi Lianglai, who has no ability to fight against the Northern Qi Dynasty. Wang Sengbian just wants to
He is tough and has no troops to support his toughness.
Chen Baxian firmly refused to accept Xiao Yuanming:
Are you kidding? If you accept Xiao Yuanming, you will become another puppet and have to take orders from Beiqi. Then after all this time, I, Old Chen, have made a wedding dress for others!
However, Chen Baxian's hard struggle was ineffective. In May, Xiao Yuanming entered Jiankang and became the emperor. He changed Yuan Tiancheng and made Liang Wang Xiao Fangzhi the crown prince.
Lao Chen quit immediately:
"Damn Xipi! This Wang Sengbian made the decision unilaterally, abolished the establishment without authorization, and treated me as a dead person!"
My next listen:
Oh, this old Chen is good. Now that the clan has fallen into such a state, Old Chen is still loyal to the Xiao family. He is really a loyal minister of the Liang Kingdom!
So, Old Chen raised his arms and said:
"Let's go, follow me and take care of this turtle grandson Wang Sengbian!"
Everyone followed Lao Chen and left happily.
In September, Xu Du, Hou Andu and Chen Baxian marched by land and water to raid Stone City. Wang Sengbian was caught off guard and was quickly captured and immediately hanged. Faced with this situation, Xiao Yuanming had no choice but to abdicate. In the second year of Shaosheng (556)
), died of a sore attack, and was posthumously named Emperor Min.
As a deposed emperor, how could he be kept alive?
In October, Liang Wang Xiao Fangzhi ascended the throne as emperor and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Shaotai.
At this time, everyone could see that Xiao Fangzhi was just a puppet emperor, and the real power was held by Chen Baxian.
Wang Sengbian was knocked off the stage of history, but the rest of Wang Sengbian was still dancing on the stage. They were not convinced by Chen Baxian.
Chen Baxian gnawed his teeth again, and by the next year, in February of the second year of Shaotai (556), except for Jiangzhou governor Hou Yi who occupied Jiangzhou and Yuzhang, the rest of Wang Sengbian's troops were pacified.
However, in February of the second year of Taiping (557), Xiao Bo, Marquis of Qujiang, who had previously advised Chen Baxian not to attack Hou Jing, rebelled in Guangzhou and raised his troops for the Northern Expedition.
Suddenly, I felt that Xiao Bo had tried to dissuade Chen Baxian because he wanted to keep this brave general under his command. At that time, Xiao Bo was probably sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. When the tiger under the mountain fought, both sides would be injured, and then he would send troops to deal with the tired tiger.
, and then reap the benefits? Hmm, Gou Xiong thinks this is very possible!
Passing Wuling to Nankang (now part of Jiangxi), we took the governor of Yingzhou Ouyang Ji and his generals Fu Tai and Xiao Zi (Xiao Bo's nephew) as the front army. When we arrived at Yuzhang, we divided the camps into key points: Ouyang Ji and Kuzhutan (now Jiangxi Province).
Southwest of Fengcheng, Jiangxi), Fu Tai occupied Zhikou City (now south of Nanchang, Jiangxi).
Yu Xiaoqing, the governor of Nanjiang Prefecture, raised troops to respond to Xiao Bo in Xinwu (today's Fengxinxi, Jiangxi Province). His younger brother Yu Xiaomai defended the county. He himself led his troops out of Yuzhang to guard Shitou and joined Xiao Zi.
After Chen Baxian received his report, he sent Pingxi General Zhou Wenyu to lead his army to attack.
After Zhou Wenyu arrived in Yuzhang, he ordered the army leader Jiao Qiaosengdu to attack Yu Xiaoqing, seize all the ships anchored in the prison, and set up a fence in Yuzhang to defend it.
Afterwards, Zhou Wenyu's army ran out of food and the generals wanted to retreat, but Zhou Wenyu disagreed and sent an envoy to Zhou Di, the internal historian of Linchuan (now Nancheng, Jiangxi) for help, and Zhou Di agreed to send them food.
However, Zhou Wenyu thought of a plan and used old ships to transport the elderly and the weak as bait. He went down the river and burned Yuzhang's fence to pretend to retreat. After Yu Xiaoqing found out, he sneered and did not set up any defenses, while Zhou Wenyu's army used the small road day and night.
At the same time, he occupied Qianshao (now northeast of Fengcheng, Jiangxi).
Qianshao was occupied by Ouyang Po and Xiao Zi in the upper reaches, and Fu Tai and Yu Xiaoqing in the lower reaches. Zhou Wenyu occupied the center and built a city, which cut off the connection between the two groups of armies. Ouyang Po and others were shocked and retreated into Nixi (now Jiangxi Province).
Shinkansen).
These amazing strategies are like classic shots in football games, which can’t help but make people applaud and make their blood boil!
The two armies, which were originally one body, are now two individuals and can be easily defeated one by one.
Zhou Wenyu sent his stern general Zhou Tiehu and others to capture Ouyang Po, and also sent his general Ding Fa to capture Fu Tai, Xiao Zi, and Yu Xiaoqing's army retreated after hearing the news.
In March, Xiao Bo learned of the defeat of Ouyang Po and others in Nankang, and the army was greatly alarmed. Xiao Bo's generals Chen Fawu and Tan Shiyuan beheaded Xiao Bo in Shixing (now north of Shaoguan, Guangzhou, Guangdong) and took his head.
Surrender to Chen Baxian.
In April, Xiao Zi and Yu Xiaoqing still resisted by holding stones.
Chen Ba sent Pingnan general Hou Andu in advance to assist Zhou Wenyu's attack. Hou Andu hid his troops and burned his ships at night. Zhou Wenyu led the navy and Hou Andu led the infantry to coordinate the attack. Xiaozi surrendered and Yu Xiaoqing fled to Xinjiang.
Wu.
Chen Baxian appointed Ouyang Po as the governor of Hengzhou and sent him to conquer Lingnan. Ouyang Po's son Ouyang He conquered Shixing. When Ouyang Po reached Lingnan, all the counties surrendered, and Guangzhou was conquered.
In May, Yu Xiaoqing also descended.
A strategy can disperse a large army. A wise leader is really important.
Through the performance of Nanliang in the "Hou Jing Rebellion", the Northern Qi and the Western Wei saw that Nanliang's politics had become extremely corrupt and its military was also vulnerable. Therefore, the two countries began to take action:
The Northern Qi Dynasty took advantage of the chaos to seize a large area of land in the north of the Yangtze River from Xiao Liang, causing the Liang Dynasty to lose all the land on both sides of the Huaihe River in the north of the Yangtze River. The Western Wei Dynasty also took advantage of the chaos to seize Xiao Liang's Bashu, Jingxiang and other places, causing the Liang Dynasty's territory to decline in just a few years.
Within the area, two-thirds of it was lost, and only the area along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was still within Liang's control.
The snipe and the clam compete with each other and the fisherman gets the benefit!
The Northern Qi Dynasty failed to insert its power into the Liang Kingdom, but a man stood up in the ruined land of the Southern Dynasty. You may also guess that this man was Chen Baxian.
When Chen Ba first started, he probably just wanted to get into the eyes of the royal family and be reused, but after a lot of hard work, he became famous.
Chen Baxian took advantage of the troubled times to develop and expand his power. After nearly ten years of war, Lao Chen basically controlled the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Seeing that the time was ripe, he deposed Xiao Fangzhi in the second year of Taiping (557), proclaimed himself emperor in Jiankang, and established the Chen Dynasty. Since then, the Liang Dynasty fell and four emperors lived for fifty-five years.
The Chen Dynasty, also known as Nanchen, was the last dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China. It was also the only dynasty in Chinese history that used the emperor's surname as its country name.
Regarding Xiao Fangzhi, he was first demoted to the king of Jiangyin, and in the second year of Yongding (558), he was killed by Chen Baxian. He was only 16 years old and was given the posthumous title of Emperor Jing.
However, the remaining forces of the Liang Kingdom are still there.
After learning that Chen Baxian deposed Liang Jing Emperor Xiao Fangzhi, Xiangzhou Governor Wang Lin and others asked the Northern Qi Dynasty to return Xiao Zhuang, the son of Xiao Fang, the eldest son of Emperor Liang Yuan Xiao Yi, so that he could succeed Emperor Liang of the Southern Dynasty.
Of course Northern Qi was happy. It failed to send Xiao Yuanming to the throne, so this time it let Xiao Zhuang be its puppet. So Xiao Zhuang crossed the Yangtze River from Basin City and returned to the south.
In the first month of 558, Xiaozhuang was proclaimed Emperor Liang of the Southern Dynasty by Wang Lin in Yingzhou. He was restored to the state with the name "Liang", the capital was Wuchang, the reign was named Tianqi, and he governed the two lakes areas.
Xiaozhuang was nine years old at the time and was young and ignorant. Prime Minister Wang Lin took charge of the affairs of the court.
In the south, there are already three regimes, and there will definitely be friction.
From the first year of Tianqi (558) to the second year (559), Wang Lin attacked Chen in consecutive years and once came to Nanjing.
However, in the third year of Tianqi (560), when Wang Lin fought with the Southern Dynasty Chen general Hou Qi in Wuhu, the Western Wei Dynasty, which had become the Northern Zhou Dynasty, sent troops to attack Yingzhou. As a result, Wang Lin was defeated and fled to the Northern Qi Dynasty with Xiaozhuang.
Lin fled to Northern Qi.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind!
When Wang Lin attacked Nanchen, she wouldn't have forgotten that there was a puppet of the Western Wei Dynasty behind her, right?
Has Nan Liang been destroyed? No, don’t forget, there is also a puppet of the Northern Zhou Dynasty - Xi Liang. However, because it is a puppet, Nan Liang is actually destroyed. When Chen Baxian established the Chen Dynasty, it was already destroyed, Xiaozhuang
It's just a name for restoring the country, but it doesn't have the ability to restore the country.
In the first year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty (570), Emperor Gao Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty appointed Xiaozhuang as a special jin, opened the mansion with three divisions, and named him King of Liang, and promised to help him revive Liang in the Southern Dynasty.
In the first year of Chengguang (577), the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Qi Dynasty. Xiaozhuang died in anger in Yecheng. He was twenty-nine years old. He was posthumously named Liezong and was the last emperor of Nanliang.
Now let’s talk about the Western Liang Dynasty, also known as the Later Liang Dynasty. Of course, this name was given by historians later for the convenience of distinction. But at that time, it was still called the Liang Dynasty, but it no longer had the independence and autonomy.
Western Wei Dynasty.
No emperor is willing to be a puppet, but the land of Xi Liang, which is as big as a palm, is besieged from all sides, and it is difficult to stand on its own. Anyone who dares to leave the big tree of Western Wei will be pinned to death by the Western Wei in minutes. Therefore, Xiao Qi
They could only swallow their anger and continue the superficial rule of the Liang Dynasty.
In February of the eighth year of Dading (562), Xiao Jin became ill from worry and anger, and developed malignant sores on his back. He died in the front hall at the age of forty-four. His temple name was Zhongzong and his posthumous title was Emperor Xuan.
Prince Xiao Kui ascended the throne, and the following year (563), the name was changed to "Tianbao".
Xiao Kui reigned for twenty-three years and died in AD 585 (the fifth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, the third year of Chen Zhide in the Southern Dynasty, and the twenty-fourth year of Tianbao in the Western Liang Dynasty). His posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoming, and his temple name was Shizong. Prince Xiao Cong came to the throne in
No. "Guangyun".
However, as you can see, the Sui Dynasty has already emerged. The founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Zuwen and Emperor Yang Jian, was the emperor who achieved great unification. Therefore, it is impossible to allow the existence of Xiliang.
In 587 years before the destruction of Nanchen (the seventh year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, the first year of Chen Zhenming in the Southern Dynasty, and the second year of Guangyun in the Western Liang Dynasty), Yang Jian conscripted Xiao Cong into the court as Duke of Ju, abolishing this small court, the Western Liang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Southern Liang Dynasty was completely destroyed.
Erase from history.
The Western Liang Dynasty was passed down to Emperor Zhongzong Xuan Xiao Qi, Emperor Shizong Ming Emperor Xiao Kui, and Emperor Huizong Jing Emperor Xiao Cong III. It existed for a total of 32 years.
After Xiao Cong arrived in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his sister married Yang Guang, the later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. After Yang Guang came to the throne, the Xiao family was named queen. Because Xiao Cong was a foreign relative, she was deeply respected by those close to her. She abided by the internal history order and was named Liang Guogong.
In the third year of Daye (607), a folk nursery rhyme said that "Xiliang will prosper", which was tabooed by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and demoted to a common people. He died soon after and was posthumously presented to Dr. Zuo Guanglu. After his son Xiao Xian became emperor, he was given the posthumous title of Xiao Cong.
Emperor Xiaojing.
Xiao Mian was the sixth grandson of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, and one of the heroes of the southern separatist regime in the late Sui Dynasty.
In the 13th year of Daye (617), after Sui lost his deer, he raised troops in Luochuan and called himself King of Liang. In the first year of Mingfeng (618), he proclaimed himself emperor in Yueyang. His country was named Liang and his reign was named Mingfeng. His sphere of influence
It reaches Jiujiang in the east, the Three Gorges in the west, Jiaozhi in the south, and Hanshui River in the north. It has 400,000 elite soldiers and dominates the south.
In the fourth year of Mingfeng's reign (621), he was defeated by the famous generals Li Xiaogong and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty. He returned to the Tang Dynasty as a gift and was taken to Chang'an to be executed at the age of thirty-nine.
