Tales of the Southern Chen

The AI ​​flavor of your introduction is too great, please change it.

Xiao Yan's acceptance of Hou Jing was essentially a big gamble - he tried to use external support to solve the situation of internal and external difficulties, and even dreamed of regaining the Central Plains and gaining great achievements. Unfortunately, his ambition and strength did not match at all. In 547 AD, the Eastern Wei general Hou Jing led his troops to surrender to Nanliang. Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, ignored the opposition of his ministers and insisted on accepting this powerful general known for his "capriciousness". This decision eventually triggered the "Hou Jing Rebellion", which directly led to the subjugation of Nanliang, and Xiao Yan himself starved to death in Taicheng. Later generations often used this to ridicule Xiao Yan for being old and confused, but looking back at the historical situation at that time, this "political deal" actually had some accounts that he had to settle. First: the "key chess piece" that can break the balance of power in the north. At that time, China was divided into three kingdoms: Nanliang, Eastern Wei, and Western Wei. The Eastern Wei Dynasty was the strongest, the Western Wei Dynasty was the weakest, and Nanliang was located in the south of the Yangtze River. Hou Jing is not a mere commander. He has 100,000 elite troops and occupies the land of thirteen states south of the Yellow River. Whoever gets Hou Jing will get the key to breaking the confrontation in the north. For Xiao Yan, who longed for the Northern Expedition and unification in his later years, this was simply "pie in the sky." He couldn't hide his excitement in the edict: "If you get the scenery, you can clear the north of the wall. It's a rare opportunity!" "Liang Shu" records that Xiao Yan even dreamed that the Central Plains returned to Liang soil, thinking that this was God's will. In the face of strategic opportunities, personal moral flaws are temporarily covered up. If he had known that since the death of the white-robed god general Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Yan would no longer have a general who could stand alone in blocking the battle in the north. Hou Jing's coming to join him could just fill this gap. Second: The increasingly acute internal conflicts in the Southern Dynasties. This is the most easily overlooked but crucial reason. It has been nearly half a century since the founding of Nanliang. On the surface, things are peaceful and peaceful, but in reality, there are turbulent undercurrents. The kings of the clan supported the army and respected themselves, while brothers, uncles and nephews each had their own evil intentions; the nobles and nobles were in a state of intoxication, only knowing that "talking about harmed the country"; the people at the bottom had a heavy burden. History records that at that time, "everyone was tired of suffering, and every family wanted to be in chaos". Small-scale uprisings occurred one after another in various places, and powerful people in various places supported the soldiers and respected themselves. Although Xiao Yan is the emperor, he does not have a truly loyal and capable direct force - the White Robe Army is gone. Therefore, he especially needs Hou Jing, a powerful general from the Northern Dynasty, to be his "sharp blade", who can not only make achievements in the Northern Expedition, rebuild the authority and credibility of the emperor, but also suppress the disobedient kings at critical moments. Using external forces to check and balance internal forces was the political calculation of the old emperor Xiao Yan. Third: Blind confidence in the "Buddha-Dharma protection". In his later years, Xiao Yan believed in F religion and sacrificed his life in Tongtai Temple four times. He believed that he had the blessing of ancestor F and had no taboos. He naively believes that as long as he is sincere to F, no matter how dangerous the situation is, he can avert the danger. The blind confidence brought about by this kind of religious fanaticism made him underestimate Hou Jing's danger and overestimate his ability to control the hero. The powerful minister Zhu Yi even saw through the emperor's thoughts and followed his wishes and said: "If Hou Jing rebels, it will be soon." After hearing this, Xiao Yan was very satisfied and no longer hesitated. The final outcome is ironic - he calculated the outside correctly but failed to calculate the inside. Xiao Yan was sure of the strategic value Hou Jing brought, but he failed to reckon that Nanliang was rotten to the core. When Hou Jing crossed the river, he only had 8,000 troops left, but he was able to defeat Jiankang with overwhelming force. The most ironic thing is that there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the Liang Dynasty clan gathered outside the city. They have heavy troops but sit back and do nothing. They all have their own agendas and are eager to get rid of the old emperor by Hou Jing's hands. Xiao Yan was besieged in Taicheng. He couldn't get a bite of honey before he died. He eventually starved to death at the age of eighty-six. Xiao Yantian really thought this deal was a good deal, but he overestimated the loyalty of Hou Jing, the "chess piece", and underestimated the seriousness of the internal decay. Moreover, while accepting Hou Jing, he also negotiated peace with the Eastern Wei Dynasty. After some coquettish maneuvers, he directly forced Hou Jing to rebel. So, the collapse of a dynasty is never caused by one straw, but by all the straws that have long since decayed.

Wujiang is called a "violent river" by people in northern Guangdong. Its history of flood disasters is a history of survival against nature. According to Baidu Encyclopedia data - Wujiang originates from Linwu, Hunan, flows through Lechang and Shaoguan and then merges into Beijiang. More than half of its 7,079 square kilometers of drainage area are in Hunan. The unique geographical conditions make floods famous for their "frequent and fierce floods, with peak height and large volume." Before the lack of large-scale control projects in the upstream, the flood control standards in Lechang and Shaoguan were extremely low, with floods occurring only once in 10 years and once in 20 years respectively. According to Lechang hydrological data, between 1952 and 2006, Wujiang streets were flooded by more than 1 meter 50 times, on average once a year. In the 57 years from 1949 to 2006 alone, there were as many as 33 floods above the warning level in Lechang city. In the 1990s, catastrophic floods became more frequent. In the past 20 years, Wujiang has experienced many major floods such as "94·6", "98·6", "02·5", "02·10", "06·7", and "08·6". Among them, 2002 was particularly special, with two historic floods occurring in August and October. The peak of Wujiang's disaster history was the "06·7" catastrophic flood caused by the strong typhoon "Bilis" in July 2006. This flood, which occurs once in more than 500 years, reduced the urban area of ​​Lechang to a lake with a maximum depth of 6 to 9 meters. The Wujiang Bridge was washed away and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was interrupted. More than 800,000 people in the city were affected by the disaster, causing direct economic losses of more than 6.2 Billion yuan in Shaoguan. The author has personally experienced Bilis - a profound memory! Fortunately, now the Lechangxia Water Conservancy Project has completely ended the history of Lechang experiencing a small disaster every two years and a major disaster every four years. The flood control standard has been raised from once in 50 years to once in 100 years. If you go to Lechang, you can go and see Lechang Gorge, the scenery is good.

Be an emperor? Just watch it when you are an emperor.

The number of manuscripts I have saved is almost at the bottom. I have made two recent changes, so I can save some manuscripts. My younger brother is also an office worker. He travels 100 kilometers back and forth every day. He saves manuscripts by taking time to rub them by hand at night. It takes time to accumulate and accumulate, and he will explode before and after they are put on the shelves. This book is a bit niche and the results are not good, so please forgive me, but I guarantee it will be on the shelves and will be completed with more than one million words, so please rest assured. Some readers said that when it comes to the economic part of the Southern Dynasties, the data is not rigorous and not reasonable enough. I will try to check more information. Novels sometimes focus on being enjoyable and ignore facts and data, which inevitably leads to logical problems of one kind or another. I'm extremely sorry! ! Let me continue to strengthen and strengthen! You can also give us some ideas about the direction of Hou Andu. I don't know if you like to change history or open the ending - I'm afraid the writing will collapse - please give me more opinions and I will definitely listen to them! This first.

I've seen one hundred and one. How can I put it? Author, you are completely stuck in self-pleasure. You also said that you are a history blogger, so the current traffic also says that you understand history, but if you can't turn history into traffic, that means your storytelling ability is not good and you can't read anymore. I wish you good luck. I wasted a monthly ticket in vain.

I have been a reader of time-travel historical novels for 15 years. Author, your narrative ability is very weak. You really hang yourself on the protagonist. The situation of things in the same period and what happened must be connected in series. You often just mention it in one stroke, which only means that you have not read it. Information, or you don't understand history at all. If Gao Yue was popular back then, look at the current rankings to see if his name is still there, and look at the up-and-coming authors who write together history and personal understanding. After seventy chapters, it is really boring. If you don't adjust, you are really not far away from defeat.

After the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out, all the vassal kings of the Xiao family supported their own troops, watched the success or failure, and fought among themselves. The vassal kings were not united, but instead attacked each other. The main reason behind this was that Prince Zhaoming Xiao Tong died early, and Xiao Yan changed his third son Xiao Gang to be the crown prince. From then on, a time bomb was planted for Nanliang. In order to make it easier for everyone to understand the Xiao family members who will appear one after another, we have made a map of the main characters of the Xiao family for everyone to read.

Taken early one morning in 2026 AD, in the Guitou Valley on the banks of the Wushui River. It reaches Lianghua (Lechang) in the north and Qujiang (Shaoguan) in the south. It has cities and towns, and the hills are still the same. It's just that the people have passed away and their traces are still there.

Lechang County has been established for more than 1,500 years. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Nanhai Wei Renxiao built a military fortress, which was called the Ancient City of Zhao Tuo. In the seventh year of Liang Tianjian in the Southern Dynasty (AD 508), in order to facilitate management, the northwest of Qujiang County was relocated and Lianghua County was established (to the effect that it belonged to the Liang Dynasty Jiaohua, which shows the backwardness of the area at that time). It belonged to Shixing County. This was the beginning of the official establishment of Lechang County. The earliest county town in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties was recorded to be in the eastern suburbs of today's Lechang County. In the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (AD 598), Lianghua County was renamed Lechang County because of the two famous mountains "Leshi" and "Changshan" in the county. This name has been used to this day. In the Sui Dynasty, the government began to move to the ancient city built by Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, which was located two miles southwest of the old county and across the Wushui River. In the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1275), it was destroyed by war. In the early Hongwu years of the Ming Dynasty, the county magistrate Suo Yansheng moved the administrative office to "Chengnandu", which is today's Lecheng Street area of ​​Lechang City, and it continues to this day. According to the "Lechang County Chronicle", the city wall at that time was "three hundred and sixty feet long and two feet high". Throughout the history of Lianghua (Lechang) City, from a military fortress, to the construction of Lianghua City and its name changed to Lechang, to the destruction and reconstruction of the city, and multiple moves, it finally formed the North Gate of Guangdong thousands of years later. The author found several ancient city maps from the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the electronic files of the National Library of China, allowing readers to have a general understanding of the geography of Lianghua (Lechang) City.
