The main line of the epic drama of the

vassal hegemony in the late Tang Dynasty is the dispute between Zhu Wen and Li Keyong, and there are also some side plots. One of them is the wonderful life of Yang Xingmi, one of the founders of Nanwu in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Yang Xingmi’s military talent is not as good as Li and Zhu, but he has won two great victories during his life in which he eliminated Sun Ru’s forces in Jiangnan, and Zhu and Wen at the peak of the Battle of Qingkou in Huainan. They were among the best in the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty. The best in China can be called the third protagonist after Li and Zhu. Different from the two, Yang Xingmi was generous and cared about people's livelihood. Just like Dou Jiande in the late Sui Dynasty, he was a ruler loved by the people.

It’s a pity that Yang Xingmi died early, and unlike Li Keyong who had a good son, his hard-earned foundation was usurped by power officials. He can only be regarded as the founder of Nanwu-Nantang, but after all, he used to protect the environment and the people, making most of Jiangnan The region is protected from the scourge of war, which is pretty good in the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties.

[A world of chaos]

Yang Xingmi is a native of Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui). He was born in a poor family and has no father or mother, but he has the strength and can walk. "Z10z travels three hundred miles a day ", serving as Correspondents who have been to the Luzhou government, have been there, including in the middle of Shu. The "New History of the Five Dynasties" said that they have had a shameful experience of being a thief, so they should have some knowledge.

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records, " Xing Mi Chi shooting martial arts, are not long ", that is to say, Yang Xingmi's military strength is only a general level, can achieve such an achievement, his personal charm, organizational skills, dealing with people and other aspects All are outstanding. Z1z

After the Huangchao Rebellion, Qin Zongquan, the "蔡贼" who nominally inherited the mantle of the Emperor Huangchao and the Emperor of Qi, crossed south of the Yellow River, and Luzhou was also affected. The local officials of Luzhou expanded the army, and Yang Xingmi joined the army thereafter, and because of his bravery in combat, he gained some power in the army. After that, Yang Xingmi slashed his jealous boss and seized Luzhou's military power. As soon as the governor of Luzhou saw that this was a ruthless man, he simply handed the seal to Yang Xingmi and ran away, and Yang Xingmi became the governor of Luzhou in this way.

This is what happened in the third year (883) of Tang Xizong Zhonghe, Yang Xingmi was 32 years old.

Luzhou was under the rule of the Huainan Jiedushi Gao Pian at that time. Gao Pian was originally the first general in the late Tang Dynasty, but he was faint and confused in his later years. He believed in the villain Lu Yongzhi. Yang Xingmi had an unusual relationship with this Lu Yong. Such a foundation. A few years after

was the upgrade stage of Yang Xingmi’s fight against mobs. Not only did he send troops to wipe out many surrounding thieves, but also repelled the " Caithi " forces of Qin Zongquan who came to take advantage. Luzhou is the westernmost of the states under the jurisdiction of Huainan. It is not far from or close to Yangzhou, the governor of Huainan Jiedu. It can not only use the powerful Huainan army and the famous general Gao Pian as backing support, but also have a certain degree of autonomy. right. Although Qin Zongquan was strong at the time, he did not want to provoke the high-level Huainan army. It was not the main force who came to attack Luzhou, otherwise the thousands of soldiers in Yang Xingmi's state would not be able to defend.

[From a local governor to a town Jiedushi]

In the third year of Emperor Guangqi of Tang Dynasty (887), the Huainan Army broke out in civil strife, and some generals sent troops to attack under the banner of killing Lu Yongzhi this monster Yangzhou, and Xuan She [shè] observed that Qin Yan and Sun Ru, who had separated from the Qin Zongquan forces, intervened. The several parties fought around Yangzhou City for nearly a year, and finally Yang Xingmi captured almost ruins. City of Yangzhou.

Yang Xingmi himself is not a genius in the military, and his strength is not strong enough. He should not have been able to win the final victory in this three-way melee. However, at that time, Yang Xingmi's chief counselor was a man named Yuan Xi, who was very important in the early stage of Yang Xingmi's development. This man is scheming and cruel. Not only has he set up ambushes to defeat powerful enemies several times in the military, he is also merciless to the generals in the old high school who may threaten Yang Xingmi's status. Yang Xingmi obeyed Yuan's attack, so although the initial stage is difficult, he can still risk risks. Pass.

may be out of Yuan Xi’s suggestion. Yang Xingmi also tried to seek refuge in Zhu Wen, but Zhu Wen wanted to station soldiers in Huainan and appoint officials, but Yang Xingmi refused, and the two sides almost tore their faces. Zhu Wen was not strong at the time, and he couldn't handle Huainan Whip for a long time, so he took a step back, and sent a personal love form to recommend Yang Xingmi as the Huainan Jiedu Envoy (to stay behind).

So, after Gao Pian and Lu Yongzhi, the two former leaders of Huainan, died, Yang Xingmi, who came from the Huainan system, occupied Yangzhou and had the title of Jiedu envoy appointed by the emperor.Most of the recognition of the old ministry has changed from a local official to a leader of a force. Although

took the initiative to abandon Yangzhou City when Sun Ru's army came to attack, Yang Xingmi's strength soared, and the gold and silver treasures he obtained from Yangzhou alone amounted to thousands of vehicles.

[One gain and one loss, Yang Xingmi’s new foundation]

In order to avoid head-on confrontation with Sun Ru in Huainan, Yang Xingmi did not go west to Jiangxi under Yuan attack’s suggestion, but crossed the Yangtze River to attack Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng, Anhui). Xuan She observed that Qin Yan led his army northward and failed to rob Yangzhou. The military strength of this territory was relatively weak. In the first year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (889), Yang Xingmi crossed the Jiangnan Expedition and successively captured Xuanzhou and Chizhou (now Chizhou, Anhui). After

occupied Xuanzhou, Yang Xingmi had a big gain and a big loss. The gain was that he was appointed by the imperial court Xuan She Observing Envoy, and after the previous Huainan Jiedu position was lost, he once again became the chief official of the Tang Empire. The loss is Yuan Xi’s illness and death, and Yang Xingmi cried for it, “Z10z, I don’t want to make my great achievements, what is the breaking of my arms! I am so wide, and Ximei persuades me to kill, so I will not live with it! "Z1z

Yang Xingmi has a generous personality, which is complementary to Yuan Xi, who has a black heart poison. The death of Yuan Xi is indeed a great loss for Yang Xingmi. Fortunately, Yang Xingmi still maintains a good habit of willing to listen to his subordinates. This is also the basis for Yang Xingmi's continued development.

[Jiangnan destroys Sun Ru]

But Sun Ru did not give Yang Xingmi this time, and Sun Ru's goal after occupying Yangzhou was also Jiangnan.

At this time, Sun Ru has accepted Zhu Wen’s surrender, and was also appointed as Datang Huainan Jiedu. Not only did he conquer Yang Xingmi’s lair Luzhou, he also sent troops to Jiangnan and occupied Runzhou in the western Zhejiang region (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu). , Suzhou (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu, tribute to Ms. Xu), Changzhou.

When Yang Xingmi captured Xuanzhou, the Xuan She observation made Zhao Zhen a friend of Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen sent a letter to Yang Xingmi asking for Zhao Zhen. Yang Xingmi killed Zhao Zhen on Yuan Xi’s suggestion and gave the head to Zhu Wen. However, this did not affect Zhu Wen’s attitude towards Yang Xingmi. Sun Ru and Zhu Wen had a border, and their strength was relatively strong. Whether it was considered from the perspective of distant relations and close attacks, or from the perspective of uniting the weak and resisting the strong, Zhu Wen must support Yang Xingmi. Weaken Sun Ru.

So, from the first year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (890) to May of the first year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (892), Zhu Wen was in the north and Yang Xingmi was in the south. The two jointly attacked Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi and Sun Ru The competition in western Zhejiang was very fierce, and many generals of Yang Xingmi died in battle. Of course, Zhu and Wen's main force has always been on the northern battlefield, and the southern side's attack on Sun Ru is diversionary.

Sun Ru also noticed this and prepared to solve Yang Xingmi first. In the second year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (891), Sun Ru mobilized all soldiers and horses and set off a fire in Yangzhou, encumbering the people of Yangzhou across the Yangtze River. These people, the old and the weak, were Sun Ru's army. Yang Xingmi secretly sent troops to Yangzhou, put out the remaining fire, and distributed food to the victims. This move greatly increased Yang Xingmi's reputation in the Jianghuai area.

Sun Ru was originally a gangster, and he had no sense of place to operate. He looted wherever he went, " banners weigh more than a hundred miles ", leaving no bases behind. But this can also explode strong combat power, and Yang Xingmi retreats all the way, and is about to approach Xuanzhou City.

By holding a democratic life meeting with his generals, Yang Xingmi decided on two countermeasures. One is not to fight with Sun Ru, stick to the city, Qingqi's elite copy the way and cut off his food, and the other is to rob Sun Ru. Sending the people back to Huainan can not only gather people's hearts, but also make Sun Rujun hesitate whether to return to Huainan.

really worked. Sun Ru's army surrounded Xuanzhou, but Yang Xingmi's army attacked Changzhou and Runzhou in western Zhejiang. Although Sun Ru did not build a base area, he still needed these cities to provide food and supplies. The Dao is cut off, and no supplies are available near Xuanzhou, so naturally it cannot be sustained.

In May of the first year of Emperor Zhaozong's Jingfu (892), Sun Rujun contracted the plague again. Yang Xingmi braved the heavy rain to attack and defeat Sun Rujun. Sun Ru was captured and killed.

After this battle, the soldiers Sun Ru originally brought from the north became Yang Xingmi's supplementary force. Only some of them fled to Jiangxi under the leadership of Sun Ru's tribe, Ma Yin and others. Later, Ma Yin founded Nanchu, one of the ten countries.

(Runzhou——Jiangsu Zhenjiang)

[Separate Jianghuai]

After defeating Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi suddenly sees his eyes, Yangzhou has become a land of no owner, Xuanshe is his own territory, and a part of the city in western Zhejiang is also occupied by him. As a result, Yang Xingmi immediately took advantage of Huainan's emptiness to occupy Yangzhou and became a legitimate Huainan Jiedu. He did not give up in other places, and was guarded by his own generals, and he had a foundation capable of contending for the world.

Although these originally rich places were still in ruins after several years of wars, and no longer had the prosperity of Yang Yiyi, but there were no strong forces around them. The northern ally Zhu Wen was busy fighting in Shandong, and Yang Xingmi was calm for several years. Timing of development.

Yang Xingmi first integrated the forces of his men, selected five thousand elites from the northerners brought by Sun Ru, and established a " black cloud capital ". The reward plus the arms to the teeth, the combat effectiveness is very strong, it is in the hands of Yang Xingmi Big killer.

In terms of internal affairs, Yang Xingmi accepted the advice of his subordinates. He did not make a fuss about the necessities of the people like tea and salt. Instead, he regained his strength by recruiting diasporas, punishing small taxes, strengthening agricultural mulberry, and wide-ranging trade. Yang Xingmi was also able to treat others generously. Sharing the joys and sorrows together, in just a few years, Jianghuai has once again restored the prosperity of the year. In terms of military affairs,

not only regained the Huainan cities such as Luzhou and Shuzhou originally occupied by Sun Ru, but also occupied Shezhou in the south of the Yangtze River and Huangzhou in Jiangxi, including Sizhou in the Xusi area, which also belonged to Yang Xingmi. It was also the beginning of the breakdown of the alliance between Yang Xingmi and Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen helped Yang Xingmi before to avoid being disturbed by someone behind him during the northern campaign, and he has always been friendly to Yang Xingmi. Xuzhou Sizhou is closer to Zhu Wen’s Bianzhou, and Zhu Wen has also used soldiers here many times. He has already regarded Sizhou as something in his pocket, which is equivalent to Yang Xingmi taking the lead in destroying the alliance between the two sides. Zhu Wen expressed dissatisfaction with this and detained more than 10,000 jin of tea that Yang Xingmi had traded in Bianzhou, and gave Yang Xingmi a warning.

[Megatron Jiangnan]

In the second year of Tang Zhaozong's Qianning period (895), Yang Xingmi took the lead in attacking, and the above-mentioned court wanted to crusade against Zhu Wen. This was the beginning of the official hostility between both sides. However, Zhu Wen was busy with the Hebei war. Yang Xingmi was also in trouble in Jiangnan. The two sides only fought under Shouzhou City in Huainan. Yang Xingmi’s general Zhu Yanshou first captured Shouzhou City. Zhu Wen quickly dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack. , Defeated by Zhu Yanshou, both sides continue to restore stability.

Behind Yang Xingmi is Dong Chang, who occupied eastern Zhejiang, and Qian Miao, who occupied western Zhejiang. Dong Chang proclaimed himself emperor in Yuezhou for no apparent reason. Qian Miao was originally a general of Dong Chang, but insisted on brutalizing Dong Chang by force, but Yang Xingmi wanted to send troops to rescue Dong Chang. So Yang Xingmi fought with Qian Miao, and the war burned across the two Zhejiang provinces.

This is an elusive decision by Yang Xingmi. If it is to covet the land of eastern Zhejiang, the Xuanshe area controlled by Yang Xingmi borders eastern Zhejiang, and it is entirely possible to send troops directly in the name of crusade. Moreover, the situation in the late Tang Dynasty would not be condemned even if there was no reason to send troops.

And while sending troops to Zhejiang, Yang Xingmi also divided his troops into Hubei’s Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei) and Jiangxi. In the third year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (896), Yang Xingmi made progress on various battlefields, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. All cities in Hubei and Hubei were occupied by the Huainan Army, forcing the three parties to ask for help from Zhu and Wen. Ma Yin, the former Sun Confucian who had fled to Hunan, even avoided Yang Xing's secrets, and Yang Xingmi shocked Jiangnan.

But Zhu Wen’s main force is in the north, Zheng and Li Ke used to fight Weibo fiercely. Naturally, he would not fight Yang Xingmi, but symbolically sent more than 10,000 troops to cross the Huaihe River. Zhu Wen’s order to the leading generals was " "Z10z is cheap to engage in ", which means that if there is any advantage, then you will occupy it, if there is no advantage, you will hide, and you will achieve your goal if you reflect one's existence.

[Qingkou Breaking Zhu Wen]

Tang Zhaozong's four years of dry-ning Ning (897), Zhu Wen made a breakthrough in the northern battlefield, not only Li Keyong began to fail, but also captured the Shandong Tianping Army and Taining Army. On the site, Taining Military Commissioner Zhu Jin and Li Ke, who came to assist, led the remnant generals Shi Yan and Li Chengsi to vote for Yang Xingmi. Before Yang Xingmi's Huainan forces lacked excellent cavalry generals, this time it was a great supplement, "the army is loudly vibrating ".

At the same time, Li Keyong also valued the two generals very much, and sent people to find the relationship between Yang Xingmila, and the two powers of the North and the South also had a consensus to deal with Zhu and Wen.Strategic Alliance. Z1z

slowed down Zhu Wen and began to pay more attention to Yang Xingmi's forces, and competed with Yang Xingmi's forces in the vast areas from Jianghuai to Henan to Hubei, and sent a three-way army to attack Huainan together, " Huainan earthquake fear ". At the same time, Qian Miao also won victory behind Yang Xingmi. Not only did he capture Yuezhou and kill Dong Chang the previous year, he also drove Yang Xingmi's army out of Zhejiang.

This is the moment of life and death for Yang Xingmi's forces.

As the third protagonist of the Five Dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi is naturally not just a foil for Zhu Wen. Maybe God is destined to not let Zhu Wen develop too fast, so an important figure is needed to execute the plot kill. Before Li Ke used his heyday to lose unreasonably to a second-rate figure, Youzhou Liu Rengong, it was a standard plot kill, otherwise Li Ke used no one to stop him.

This battle is the famous battle of Qingkou at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. It is also the battle of Yang Xingmi's Huainan forces to establish the country. Yang Xingmi defeated Zhu Wen.

In November of the 4th year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (897), the Seventy Thousand Army of the East Road led by General Zhu Wenjun Pang Shigu was flooded by Yang Xingmi's army with Huai River water, and Pang Shigu was slashed. Xilu Ge learned from Zhou Jun that he retreated after the defeat of the East Road, and was chased by the Huainan Army all the way, but finally escaped the Huaihe River and suffered heavy losses. Zhu Wen was in the middle road, knowing that the east and west roads were defeated, so he had to return to Bianzhou.

Yang Xingmi also wrote to Zhu Wen, Pang Shigu and Ge Congzhou are not my opponents, you Zhu Wen come to the decisive battle, I am waiting for you in the Huaihe! Z1z

Zhu Jin and Li Chengsi, who had relied on Yang Xingmi before, played an important role. They not only helped Yang Xingmi make up his mind to break the Pangshi Gudong Road Army first, but Zhu Jin led the cavalry to break through the enemy's formation and achieved this hearty victory.

" travel secrets are guaranteed to occupy the Jiang and Huai River, all loyalty cannot fight with them. "

[conspiring two Zhejiang]

after temporarily resolving the problem of Zhu Wen in the north, Yang Xingmi exchanged for the captured Huainan army general The price is to make peace with Qian Miao, who has already occupied the two provinces, and prepare to fight Qian Miao in the east, reject Zhu Wen in the north, take Ezhou in the west, and expand the sphere of influence to the west. Although Yang Xingmi won in the first battle, Zhu and Wen had already won seven or eight out of ten, and the pressure on the north was even greater.

However, Yang Xingmi never gave up his attempt at Liangzhe. In August of the first year of Emperor Zhaozong's Tianfu (901), Yang Xingmi got a false information that Qian Miao had died. At this time, Zhu Wen went to Guanzhong to compete with Li Maozhen for Tang Zhaozong. There was no war in the north, and Yang Xingmi immediately sent troops to attack Hangzhou, only to find that it was an oolong incident. Hangzhou was too strong to conquer, so he had to accept Qianmiao's money to buy peace.

Yang Xingmi and Qian Miao are not bloodthirsty people, and even the generals of both sides are restrained. In Liangzhe territory, Yang Xingmi army not only sent people to guard Qian Miao’s ancestral grave, but also let the captive generals of Liangzhe University communicate with his family. Later, Yang Xingmi retired. , The two sides also exchanged captured generals.

(Qian Wang shoots tide)

[Internal Rebellion] After

, the internal rebellion that occurred within Qian Miu and Yang Xingmi caused both forces to have serious internal consumption.

In the second year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (902), Qian Miao's internal mutiny, known as the Xu Xu Rebellion in history, Qian Miao almost lost the city of Hangzhou. These mutiny generals colluded with the general Tian Wei [jūn], who was under Yang Xingmi’s guarding Xuanzhou. Tian Wei and Yang Xingmi were young men, and they were the direct lineages that Yang Xingmi had been following since the beginning of the army, and made many contributions. However, this person did not agree with Yang Xingmi on external expansion, thinking that Yang Xingmi was too conservative and had long thought of independence.

Qian Miao sent his son to contact Yang Xingmi. On the one hand, he reminded Yang Xingmi that Tian Guan was ambitious, and on the other hand, he wanted to let Yang Xingmi control Tian Guan not to participate in Qian Miao's civil strife through marriage.

Yang Xingmi accepted Qian Miao's request. Tian Wei had already sent troops to Hangzhou, and only reluctantly retreated under Yang Xingmi's strict orders. However, Tian Wei extorted a large amount of money from Qian Miao and asked Qian Miao to send his son as a proton. The second general Xu Xu who rebelled under Qian Miao also followed Tian Wei back to Xuanzhou.

Tian Wei has been planning for a long time, not only contacted Zhu Wen, but also colluded with Mrs. Yang Xingmi’s brother Zhu Yanshou. Yang Xingmi pretended to be blind and wanted to give up his position to Zhu Yanshou, but took the opportunity to kill the brothers Zhu Yanshou, and his wife naturally didn't want him, so he solved the problems around him.

Tang Zhaozong's rebellion three years (903), Tian Wei finally couldn't bear it, and raised troops to rebel. Yang Xingmi paid a lot of price to put down the rebellion. When Tian Wei's head arrived in Yangzhou, Yang Xingmi cried bitterly.

[Zhu Wen attacked Huainan again]

At this time, Zhu Wen had just sent Tang Zhaozong to Luoyang, and had entered the stage of taking the emperor to order the princes, but Yang Xingmi was not affected at all. When Yang Xingmi continued to attack Ezhou, Zhu Wen sent people to ease the relationship, hoping that Yang Xingmi would give up his plan to move west. Yang Xingmi replied unceremoniously, if you send the emperor back to Chang'an, I will retreat and negotiate with you.

In order to create conflicts between Yang Xingmi and Qian Miao, Zhu Wen gave Qian Miaojia the title of King Wu. Before, under the control of Li Maozhen and others, Tang Zhaozong once gave Yang Xingmi the title of King Wu in Fengxiang and asked Yang Xingmi to attack Zhu Wen. After Zhu Wen took control of Tang Zhaozong, he issued an edict in the name of Tang Zhaozong that the previous appointments were not counted, which was equivalent to canceling Yang Xingmi's Wu Wang nomination. This time, Qian Miao was given the title of King Wu again, which was obviously to provoke the relationship between Yang Xingmi and Qian Miao. Sure enough, although no war broke out between the two forces, there were always small frictions and defections of generals in border cities.

In the second year of Tianyou of Tang Zhaozong (905), Yang Xingmi finally conquered Ezhou, including Zhu Wenjun who came to aid, was sent to Yangzhou to beheaded by Yang Xingmi, and Yang Xingmi's territory was enlarged. Z1z

Zhu Wen couldn't bear it anymore, and could no longer sit back and watch Yang Xingmi expand in the south. At this time, all the northern forces basically surrendered to Zhu Wen, so he sent General Yang Shihou to the south, with his army behind. In just two months, Zhu Wen took the two towns of Jingxiang and Jingnan occupied by the brothers Zhao Kuangning and Zhao Kuangming. The two brothers imitated Zhugejin and Zhuge Liang, each serving a master. One voted for Wangjian in Shuzhong and the other for Huainan. Yang Xingmi. Z1z

Zhu Wen " has not been out of the army for more than a month, and he leveled the two major towns and opened up thousands of miles of land ." After that, despite the fatigue of the soldiers, he turned his head and attacked Yang Xingmi eastward.

[I lied to Zhu Wen once before he died]

However, unlike Yang Xingmi who resisted the enemy outside the country, this time Yang Xingmi just stood by the city and caught up with the continuous winter rain. Zhu Wenjun did not prepare winter clothes and many soldiers fled. Wanting to besiege the city, but there is no suitable wood to build a camp in the surrounding area, Zhu Wen had to cross the Huaihe River to return north, and was copied by Yang Xing's secret army.

The reason why the Jianghuai Army just sticks to the city is because Yang Xingmi is seriously ill and dying.

When Zhu Wen fought in Jingxiang and Jingnan, Yang Xingmi was already seriously ill and wanted to recall his eldest son Yang Wo to Yangzhou to take over. At that time, some subordinates objected, saying that Yang Wo " easily believes in slander, likes to hit the ball and drink, and is not the master of the family ", and suggested that Yang Xingmi hand over the position to a talented person. But most people support Yang Xingmi to pass the position to the Yang family's descendants. After all, it was the tradition of the time that the father died and the son succeeded. Yang Xingmi was relieved to recall his son to Yangzhou.

In October of that year, Zhu Wen set off from Xiangzhou to attack Huainan, Yang Xingmi's son Yang Wo arrived in Yangzhou City, and Yang Xingmi appointed Yang Wo as the Huainan post.

In November, Zhu Wen retired and crossed the Huai River back to Bianzhou. In the same month, Yang Xingmi died at the age of 54, and Yang Wo succeeded him as the Huainan Jiedu Ambassador.

In other words, if Zhu Wen stayed for a few more days, he would know the news of Yang Xingmi's death, and the Huainan Army, who lost its supreme commander, might have a strong desire to fight with the enemy, but it might also be a panic loss of the will to fight.

This is Zhu Wen's closest to uniting the world. Once Jianghuai is taken, the entire south can be passed on. Li Cunxu will not be able to turn the plate even if he is ten times more powerful. Yang Xingmi lied to Zhu Wen again when he died.

Yang Wo is indeed a prodigal son, controlled by the power minister Xu Wen. After that, the second puppet King Wu failed to regain power. Yang Xingmi, the founder of the Nanwu regime, has not been emperor himself for a day. His descendants are also puppets. Xu Zhigao, Xu Wen’s righteous son, accepted the Zen throne of the last emperor of Wu, and restored his surname Li. He also found a Li Tang clan as an ancestor, and changed the name to Tang, which is one of the ten countries. Southern Tang in Ming Dynasty.
