The Yang family will be a very famous family in history. As a well-known figure in history, people must be very familiar with the deeds of the Yang family. Speaking of "Jiang Yang", I believe that all of my friends are no strangers. The generals of the Yang family are loyal and worthy of learning. The Yang family was a famous family of military commanders in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Yang family would continue to contribute to the Song Dynasty, but such a family that was able to conquer the battle still did not change the trend of the Song Dynasty's demise.
Many people will have a question, that is, the Yang family will be a famous general in the Song Dynasty, and it is also a very famous family of military commanders in history. Why will the Yang family not appear when the Song Dynasty is destroyed? The Song Dynasty advocated the rule of civilization, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not want to fight at all. The courts were mostly civil servants, and military officers were not welcome. Among the ancient feudal dynasties, the Song Dynasty was the only one who advocated literature and suppressed martial arts, which was not available in other dynasties.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family was full of loyalty, not only the men of the Yang family, but also women. For example, Mu Guiying, Yang Zongbao, Yang Wenguang, Yang Paifeng, She Taijun and others are all very popular heroes in historical stories. However, although the Yang family will exist in history, it is not as magnificent as written in the story. It is worth mentioning that most of what people understand is literary creation.
In other words, although the Yang family will exist, it is very different from the literary works. The first generation of the Yang family is Yang Ye, whose father Yang Xin is a well-known local rich. In the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Yang Xin chose to do business, and from this, he gained wealth later. Under the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the current situation was turbulent. Under such circumstances, Yang Xin returned to the Later Han and the Later Zhou.
When Yang Xin returned to the post-Han Dynasty, he made friends with many celebrities, including Liu Chong who was an ambassador to Hedong. After that, Hedong Jiedu sent Liu Chong to send young Yang Chonggui to Taiyuan. After Yang Xin took refuge in Hou Zhou, Yang Chonggui stayed in Taiyuan. Yang Ye was a member of the generals who earned his income when Taizong conquered the Northern Han Dynasty. The biggest threat at the time was the army, therefore, Yang Ye was the head of the Western Army at this time. However, because of the failure of the East Route Army, Yang Ye had to lead the West Route Army to retreat south, but he encountered the main force of the Liao Army.
Yang Ye did not advocate frontal fighting, but he was ridiculed by the ministers for being timid. In the end, Yang Ye led the army to fight frontally, but was finally captured by the Liao army because of the enemy and the widow. In this battle, Yang Ye vowed to die, and eventually Yang Ye died on a hunger strike. In this battle, not only Yang Ye died, but Yang Yanyu's son also died on the battlefield. Among all the sons of Yang Ye, the most famous is Yang Liulang.
Yang Liulang is Yang Yanzhao, because he has been fighting with his father Yang Ye since he was a child, so after Yang Ye died, Yang Yanzhao inherited his father's mantle and guarded the border for the Northern Song Dynasty. When Yang Yanzhao guarded the border, he was disciplined and guided his troops well, allowing some small countries on the border to flee. After Yang Yanzhao's death, his son Yang Wenguang did not disappoint his father's high expectations. This time is the third generation of Yang Jiajiang.
Yang Wenguang did not live up to his father's expectations and has always guarded the border of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the very beginning, Yang Wenguang, because of the protection of his ancestors, entered the dynasty as an official, serving as the commander of the Dragon Guards and Shenwei Sixiang, and was promoted to the defensive envoy. During the Song Shenzong period, due to the fight against Xixia Jiangong, the deputy chief of Dingzhou Road and the infantry capital were Yuhou. Without relying on family power, Yang Wenguang's continuous promotion, relying on strength.
Although there are some discrepancies between the romance and history, there is no doubt that the Yang family is full of loyalty. Then, when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, why didn't the Yang family generals come out to save the country? As the last military attache of the Yang family, Yang Wenguang was also a figure who worked behind the writer Fan Zhongyan until he died of illness. Since then, the Yang family has nothing to do with it. As a result, the Yang family had no military commanders anymore, and slowly withdrew from the stage of history, and it took more than half a century before the Song Dynasty fell. Most of the men of the Yang family gave their lives for the country, resulting in fewer and fewer offspring. After the generation of Yang Wenguang, there are no outstanding talents. Even if the Yang family had the intention, they couldn't fight anymore. Therefore, when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the topic of why the Yang family would not come out to save the country already had a good answer. After Yang Wenguang's death, the Yang family began to decline, and no rising star among the descendants could carry the banner of the Yang family.
