When you talk about Li, you have to talk about his father? Flying Tigers? Li Keyong, a branch of West Turkic, is a Shatuo whose real name is Zhu Xie. Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Shatuo people have attached themselves to Guan Long and become an alien force in the Tang Dynasty. Li Keyong's family was given the surname Li after his father Zhu Xiechi, so Li Keyong often lived in the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Zhonghe (882), Li Keyong led Shatuo's army south to help Tang suppress the rebellion in Huang Chao. The following year, he was diligent, and for three years, Huang Chao was driven out of Chang 'an, so he was appointed as our time in Hedong. Later, in two years (895), he was diligent, defeated Li and Wang Xingyu, and was rescued. As a result, he was named king of Jin, and he was able to establish himself in Taiyuan and realize the separatist regime.
(Li Keyong in the cartoon) Li Keyong had a feud with Zhu Wen when he rebelled against Huang Chao. At that time, after Li Keyong rushed Huang Chao to Shandong, he went to Bianzhou (Kaifeng) to meet Zhu Wen, a general under Huang Chao's account. Because Zhu Wen had been saved by Li Keyong, he didn't move troops, so he held a banquet in Shangyuan Post to catch up with the past. Although there was no original intention of the banquet, Li Keyong's drunken gaffes caused Zhu Wen's murder. Zhu Wen set fire to Li Keyong while he was sleeping, but he was rescued by the rainstorm. Since then, the two have forged a feud. In the next few years, Zhu Li's confrontation has been deadlocked. God bless four years (907), Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, known as the back beam in history, while Li Keyong claimed to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and competed with the back beam in the name of reviving the Tang Dynasty.
(Zhu Wen stills) In the process of the dispute between Jin and Liang, Li Keyong has always had a strategic idea of cutting Liang from Yan to the south. However, in four years (897), Liu Rengong rebelled against Jin in Youzhou, and Li Keyong completely lost control of Yannan, which made Yanyun's plan to return to the south bankrupt. On the contrary, Zhu Wen was named Queen Liang and stepped up his attack on Jin. In the year of Guangfu (90 1), Li Keyong was forced to write a peace book. The following year, Liang Jun has formed the trend of encircling Taiyuan, and the state of Jin is in a state of panic, with many defectors. Before Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, he first moved the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty to Luoyang, and then killed Tang Zhaozong, thus making Aizong a puppet emperor of the Tang Dynasty and entering? Holding the emperor as a minister? During the transition period, Zhu Wen has developed very strongly at this time, and Li Keyong is a thief with a heart and can't save the day.
(Yeluboji) Li Keyong chose the strategy of uniting with foreign countries in a dilemma, and then in the second year of God's blessing (905), Li Keyong became brothers with Yeluboji, the leader of Qidan. The alliance between the two leaders was based on Liu Rengong, who occupied the land of Yan State. Liu Rengong controlled the dividing line between nomadic civilization and farming civilization, which became an obstacle to Lu Ye Abao's southward migration. According to historical records, Liu Rengong often used soldiers to go north in Yandi, and all the places where the soldiers passed were set on fire, which made the grassland barren and seriously affected the survival and development of nomadic people. For Li Keyong, Liu Rengong's defection broke his original strategic plan and widened the gap between Jin and Liang.
So the first * * * knew that their alliance was to crusade against Liu Rengong, and then what? * * * please Zhu Wen, and accept "bian, luo? . ? One arrow is Liu Rengong. If you don't go to Youzhou first, there is no plan in Henan. When I hit the Khitan with an arrow, Baoji and I fought side by side and became brothers, vowing to restore the Tang family. Now that you have broken your promise and attached a thief, cut it; If I kill Zhu Wen with one arrow, I can realize my ambition and die without regret! ? However, behind the brief encounter of the New Five Dynasties, Li Keyong's subordinates were hiding danger. They thought that Lu Ye Po would become a catastrophe sooner or later, and should take the opportunity to get rid of it, but Li Keyong refused, because he could not betray his beliefs. However, this suggestion is likely to reach the ears of Lu Ye Po, so it is not reliable to talk about Li Keyong in the later back alliance. In addition, Zhu Wen also took a fancy to the foreign aid of the Khitan, so he also sent messengers to contact him. The cooperation between Zhu Wen and Qidan is precisely the strength of Liu Rengong, because he always threatens the base areas of Zhu Wen.
One is ruthless and weak Li Keyong, and the other is powerful Zhu Wen. Lu Ye Abaoki finally chose to attach to the beam. After Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, Li Keyong, who had been fighting all his life, could not recover in desperation and died of depression the following year. On his deathbed, he passed on the great cause of recovery to his son Li, leaving three arrows as a legacy, one for conquering Yan, one for punishing Paul, and the third for destroying Zhu Wen.
Overfulfilled Li's talents who were both civil and military in the history of the Five Dynasties. Like his father, he was good at bowing and fighting since he was a child, and this? Words? In the early stage, it was reflected in strategy, and in the later stage, it was completely reflected in literature and art. Li and Li Keyong fought for many years and played an important role in seeking help after Liu Rengong's rebellion. Li Keyong hates Liu Rengong's capriciousness. When Zhu Wen attacked Liu Rengong on a large scale, Liu Rengong, desperate, turned to Jin for help. Li thought it was an opportunity for Jin to turn around, so he suggested that his father help Liu Kangliang. It was this decision that made Jin regain control of Luzhou (Changzhi), a strategic town. After Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, the first step to deal with the state of Jin was to besiege Luzhou with 10 people. This siege lasted for several years, and Li Keyong failed to clear it until his death. Li Jiwei settled the internal separatist regime, and personally led the army to defeat it in the fifth year of God Blessing (908), which lifted the siege of Luzhou and completely guaranteed the stability of the State of Jin.
(Li stills) Li is really unique in grasping this opportunity. God bless seven years, when Zhu Wen tried to attack Chengde and Yiwu. Wang sent envoys to Li for help in Chengde, Yiwu and other places, expressing his willingness to form an anti-Liang alliance with the State of Jin, and * * * promoted Li as the leader. Li parted the crowd, resolutely sent his troops to rescue and led the Jin army eastward. In the battle of the white elephant, he lured the king to fight in the plain by stabbing the stick. In this battle, Li cut the enemy by 20 thousand, and the elite was lost. At this point, Chengde and Yiwu successively fell into the State of Jin.
When Liu Rengong was imprisoned by his son Liu Shouguang and seized power, Li seized the opportunity to rectify the military forces and prepare to fight Yan, and proudly regarded Liu Shouguang as his father. After Liu Shouguang was arrested, Yu Tianyou proclaimed himself emperor for eight years. Yan Yan? . At that time, Li Cunxu ordered Zhou Dewei to join forces with the armies of Chengde and Yiwu to attack Yan, then went down to Zhuozhou and besieged Youzhou. Zhu Wen was defeated when he went north to clear up, and he became angry from embarrassment. After leaving Luoyang, he was killed by his son Zhu. In this favorable situation, Zhou Dewei successively captured the four states of Tan, Wu, Ping and Ying. The following year, Li Cunxu personally marched Yan, captured Youzhou, and captured Liu Rengong and his son alive. This was his father's first wish. With Zhu's coup, the domestic situation has changed. First, in the 12th year of God bless (9 15), when Liang Wudi was riding, Yang died of illness, and the vassal was divided into towns, which led to a mutiny. Lee took the opportunity to occupy Weizhou (Daming), and when he personally led it, he also captured Texas, Aizhou and Weizhou.
In the 14th year of God Blessed (9 17), Li solved the problem of Qidan's invasion to the south, then led the army to cut down the beams and advanced to the south of the Yellow River the following year. It's a pity that General Zhou Dewei was killed and the Jin suffered heavy casualties, so it was impossible to decide the outcome of World War I.. So the situation evolved into a confrontation between the Jin army and Liang Jun. In April of God Blessed 20th year (923), Li accepted the suggestions of various towns and proclaimed himself emperor in Weizhou, which was known as the late Tang Dynasty. At this time, there were thirteen sections and fifty states in the late Tang Dynasty. In the same year, Li Cunxu took Li Siyuan as the pioneer and personally led the army to cut beams. Finally, under the tactics of Li Siyuan taking Huanglong, the capital Bianzhou was breached, and Emperor Liang committed suicide and perished. At this point, my father's other last wish came true.
As for Li Keyong's last wish to crusade against the Khitan, Li Cunxu did not take the initiative, but was countered by Li Cunxu when the Khitan army went south. For example, in the 14th year of God Bless (9 17), Lu Qibing, the secretariat of Shouzhou, crusaded against Qidan and led the Qidan army south. It is rumored that there are 500,000 Khitan troops this time, but the real situation may be only about 50,000. Li Siyuan fought in this battle, defeated the Khitan army and gained more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers.
In the 18th year of God Blessing (92 1), Yiwu our envoy directly colluded with Bao Ji and led the Qidan army south in an attempt to betray Li. As a result, Wang Du, his son, was jailed. Wang Du succeeded to the throne and was soon besieged by the Qidan army in Dingzhou. Yeluboji led the Qidan army south, and the empty country invaded. In the 19th year of God Blessing (922), Li led 5,000 advance cavalry to repel the Khitan army, and captured the son of Khitan Baoji alive, and Li Lingbing pursued him all the way. When the Khitan army fled, many people fell into the water and drowned, which was considered to be the evil of his father.
After the destruction of Liang in the later Tang Dynasty, some separatist regimes, such as Qi, Chu, Min, Nanping, etc. , have to pay tribute to them, but Qian Shu refused to yield. Li first sent envoys to repair it as paralysis, and then appointed Li as commander-in-chief in the third year of Tongguang (925), leading 60,000 troops to conquer the former Shu. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses temporarily organized by the former Shu were defeated by Tang Jun in Sanquan, causing a shock in the middle of Shu, and all the buffer regions went south in succession. Later, the former Shu Zhongshu ordered Wang Zongbi to launch a coup, imprisoned Wang Yan and surrendered at the gates. 10, 64 states and 249 counties under the jurisdiction of the former Shu were formally incorporated into the territory of the later Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, in order to appease the people, Li granted more pardons to the former ministers of Shu, and also gave the titles of Li and Li to those who voluntarily defected. This made Henan under the direct rule of Hou Liang accept the rule of the later Tang Dynasty and became an important measure to stabilize the situation after the Bing War. At the beginning of the late Tang Dynasty, Li indulged himself and showed great wisdom. However, after the situation stabilized, he felt that he had fulfilled his father's last wish, and he should enjoy his life well. At the same time, he also showed his love for money. A gentleman loves money to a certain extent, and Li is just another Empress Liu who loves money equally. The queen Liu was very popular with Li, so she was granted the right to issue decrees by Li. The queen's decree can represent the emperor, and officials at all levels must abide by it. Therefore, Liu became a good helper for Li to collect money.
With the help of the queen, the tax laws promulgated at the national level have become harsh and numerous? Official? Shops have become tools for officials at all levels to please the queen, such as Yuan Xiangxian, Zhang, and Zhang, all of which have been reused by bribing Liu. And Liu is a brave man and can't get in. When there was a famine in the country, the national treasury was insufficient and food was in short supply, ministers asked Li to open the inner storehouse for disaster relief, but Liu intervened to stop it and resolutely refused. It can be said that a woman has ruined the reputation of an English master.
Besides his love for money, another feature of Li is his love for China traditional drama and his high attainments. Today, many theatrical troupes still regard Li as their favorite? The ancestor of China traditional opera? Because of my love for myself, I am very fond of actors. This hobby has existed since he started his business, and he also delayed the war by appointing actress Yang Boer as the secretariat. After being proclaimed emperor, I prefer acting officials. These acting officials can accompany Li to discuss art, so many of them are awarded important positions, such as the secretariat, and there are only so many positions. If you give them acting officials, there will be no better appointment for the generals who fought bloody battles, so there will be more dissatisfaction.
Not only that, Li gave officials the privilege of going in and out of the palace. Officials wanted to be holy, and sometimes they had to curry favor with them. Officials like this have developed into confidants and often monitor the behavior of ministers. After starting a career, it is inevitable that there will be ministers who are afraid of martial arts. It is becoming more and more serious for Li to use official to monitor ministers, such as Li Siyuan and Li Congke. It is eunuchs who have become the same scourge as officials. After the establishment of the later Tang Dynasty, Li ordered all localities to send the former eunuchs back to Luoyang, the capital, which increased the number of eunuchs in the palace to nearly 1,000. Some of these eunuchs served as ambassadors, and some served as military and political officials in buffer regions, all of which were regarded as confidants by Li. They rely on their pets to take power, interfere in the military and political affairs at will, slow down the generals, and make all provinces and towns angry.
Li's ending is also very dramatic. Li Siyuan, who was suspected by him, was stationed in Kaifeng, and Li was ready to personally expedition. Because he had deserted, the soldiers he brought out were out of control and dispersed one by one. When he returned to the capital, his hand-picked actor Guo launched a mutiny. However, after his beloved queen Liu was injured in the accident, she only brought him half a bowl of milk slurry and left in a hurry with the treasure, thus a generation of outstanding military strategists died tragically. In fact, Li's tragedy is not accidental. The reasons for his self-indulgence should be internal and external. The external reason is that he exceeded his father's wishes and became the founding emperor. He often follows the example of Emperor Taizong, so he will follow Emperor Taizong in his retirement after he has achieved something in his career. Under the flattery of eunuchs and the corruption of actors, he also lost himself and his ambition to continue to expand his career.
The external reason is that in the social background at that time, family members and heroes killed their fathers and rebelled against their masters, which made Li feel a sense of crisis, which was far more terrible than foreign wars. So he crowded out heroes, reused actors and contacted the threats of people around him, but he played a generation of plays, but turned his romance into the most tragic one.
