The Troubled Times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in 72 Years

The lights of the Tang Dynasty were about to go out, and Huang Chao's cavalry broke through the gates of Chang'an City. From then on, there was no "prosperity" in the world, only the bloody chess game of feudal towns, privy councils, warlords and separatist regimes. Zhu Wen, a scoundrel who was born in the countryside of Dangshan Mountain, started as a soldier in the Huangchao Army. He killed the supervisors with a sword and submitted a certificate. He climbed from the "anti-thief lackey" to the "Xuanwu Jiedushi", and then to the emperor to command the princes. Baimayi bloodbathed the courtiers. Fengxiang killed Zhaozong and established Emperor Ai, and finally accepted the Zen and proclaimed himself emperor. He personally sent the Tang Dynasty to the grave for more than two hundred years. Parallel with him were Shatuo cavalry Li Keyong and his son, Youyan's "son emperor" Shi Jingtang, Chai Rong who died before the ten-year ZTE was completed, Zhao Kuangyin who wore a yellow robe and drank wine to release his military power; and countless unknown people who fled during the war, fought to the death at the border, and told stories in the market. This book is based on official history and uses unofficial history and legends as blood. The first volume starts from Huang Chao and tells about Zhu Wen's murder of Tang Dynasty and Liang Dynasty: the wind and snow in Ba Shang, the killing of generals rebelled against their nests, the opening of Bianzhou, the change of owners in Jiedu, the disaster of Baima Post, the execution of hundreds of officials, Fengxiang to welcome the emperor, the murder of Zhaozong and the establishment of Emperor Ai, until the fourth year of Tianyou's acceptance of Zen, the fall of Tang Dynasty and the rise of Liang Dynasty. It is not a simple "Machiavellian novel", but a long question that attempts to answer: In an era when "everyone just wanted to live their own short life", how did emperors, warlords, scholars and common people push down a dynasty step by step, and how they found a way to the "new order" of the Song Dynasty on the ruins. Seventy-two years of troubled times, rise and fall can only be achieved at the snap of a finger. After they became kings and defeated bandits, some people still wrote their names in books for future generations to comment on. This is the story of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It is also the story of every person who is trapped by the times.
