At the end of Sui Dynasty, peasant uprisings spread all over the country. In 6 15, Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di took Li Yuan as a comfort station in Hedong, Shanxi Province, and then stayed in Taiyuan to prepare for the northern Turks, thus suppressing the peasant uprising in Shanxi Province today. At that time, the Sui regime was in a state of disintegration, the ruling class was divided repeatedly, and the landlord armed forces and rebel forces were scattered all over the country.
Li Yuan is always ambitious. When he moved the capital to Taiyuan, he saw that the Sui Dynasty was about to perish and had the idea of replacing it. Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and his second son, Li Shimin, around him also suggested to arise and do great things.
By 6 16, the peasant uprising had taken the lead in the whole country, and the Sui Dynasty could not concentrate its forces to effectively crack down on various armed groups. Li Yuan felt that the time was ripe, so he officially announced the Jinyang Uprising in 6 17.
With the help of his second son, Li Shimin, his family, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, etc. Tang Gaozu killed the majestic and elegant emperor Yang Di who looked at him. With the support of Khan, Liu Wenjing was sent to Turkey; Li He was sent to capture Xihe County.
In June, formally arise. He said he was a general, the eldest son was Li, the second was the commander-in-chief, and the fourth son, Li Yuanji, stayed in Taiyuan and sent troops to Chang 'an. In Huoyi, I broke the old Song students, crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, and opened Yongfengcang to help the people.
Guan Zhong has a daughter Li Sanniang and others to respond. In November, Chang 'an was conquered, with Yang Gang as emperor, Yang Di as emperor's father, and Tang Yuan as prime minister and king of Tang Dynasty.
In March of the following year, Yang Di was killed by Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu. In May, Li Yuan deposed You Yang and proclaimed himself emperor, renamed Tang Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty perished and the Tang Dynasty was established.
What is the background of Jinyang mutiny?
In 604, after Yang Guang killed his father and brother, he ascended the throne and ruled in the government of Yang Di, the slain emperor of Jiangdu. After that, it invaded Korea by force, built a lot of buildings, built palaces, dug canals and paved roads, which drove the social economy to a desperate situation. Historically, the north of the Yellow River is a smoke-free area. Between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, there is a lush grassland. The broad masses of the people fell into poverty and their financial resources dried up. If they live in peace, they can't live in peace. If they die in a hurry, they still have to live longer. So they began to get together as thieves, and eventually evolved into a surging peasant uprising all over the country.
In Shanxi, from 6 15 to 6 17, the peasant uprising reached its climax, and six or seven uprising teams moved to various places successively.
There is an insurgent army with thousands of people in the south of Shanxi, attacking Longmen County. There are tens of thousands of Jiang county insurgents led by Jing Pantuo. In central Shanxi, the Lishanfei Rebel Army led by Zhen Zhai Er attacked Taiyuan many times. In this situation, in 6 15 A.D., Yang Di appointed Li Yuan as the messenger to comfort Shanxi and Hedong, and ordered him to annihilate the insurgents active in Shanxi today.
Li Yuan, claiming to be a Taoist priest in Longxi. Grandfather Li Hu was an official in the Western Wei Dynasty. Father Li _, an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a general in Anzhou, was named Tang Guogong in the Sui Dynasty.
Li Yuan attacked Tang Guogong at the age of seven. After entering the Sui Dynasty, my aunt was highly valued because she was the orphan queen of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. He used to be the secretary of Huai, Long and Qi, and the prefect of Xingyang and Loufan counties. Later, he was called as a minor supervisor in the temple and moved to Wei Wei and Shao Qing. After the emperor ascended the throne, it was widely rumored in the society that Li was the emperor, and he was very suspicious of senior officials named Li. However, Li Yuan indulged in debauchery, accepted bribes and confused his behavior, which showed that he had no ambition and avoided bad luck.
After Li Yuan arrived in Hedong, he defeated the insurgents led by Zhen Zhai 'er, Wu Duan 'er and Jing Pan Tuo, and was appreciated by Yang Di. At the beginning of 6 16, Li Yuan was appointed as the appeasement ambassador of Taiyuan Road, with the privilege of recruiting in the county and recruiting in Hedong. In July, before going south to Jiangdu, Yang Di appointed Tang gaozu as Taiyuan left-behind, and sent Wang Wei and Gao Junya as deputy left-behind, so that they could monitor Tang gaozu.
At this time, the political structure of the whole country has undergone tremendous changes. The peasant uprising army basically destroyed the ruling power of the Sui Dynasty, and the bureaucratic landlords of the Sui Dynasty also raised the banner of anti-Sui. Taiyuan is an elite place in the world. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Sui has always attached great importance to the storage of military supplies in Jinyang City. After years of savings, the city has become a surplus of the national treasury, and Taiyuan's salary can last for ten years. Therefore, after Tang gaozu was ordered to stay in Taiyuan, he was very proud of private thieves. He said to his second son, Li Shimin: Tanggu is my country and Taiyuan is its land. Today, I came to Sri Lanka for the sake of peace. If I don't take it, it will be a disaster from heaven.
In the process of suppressing the peasant uprising, Li Yuan recruited soldiers and constantly expanded his strength. Tang Gaozu and his son also made friends with heroes and recruited talents. Historically, Li Yuansu had a heart to save and manage the world. We have known each other for more than ten years.
Li Shimin secretly recruited friends in Jinyang, and he has a skill, which can be called "a skill". He did the opposite, never tired of it, and gave everything to help.
Jinyang made Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji as supervisors, who were close friends and the main counselors of Jinyang. Tang Gaozu's eldest son, Li, also became handsome and developed his power in Hedong.
Just as Tang gaozu and his sons, Li and Jin fought in Jinyang, Tang gaozu asked Liu Wenjing to seek great things.
665438+In February 2007, Liu Wuzhou, the prefect of Yangying House in Mayi under Li Yuan's rule, launched a mutiny and killed Wang Rengong, the prefect of Mayi. According to Mayi, he claimed to be the son of heaven and was named Yang. In March, Liu Wuzhou attacked Loufan County, occupied Fenyang Palace and colluded with Turks in an attempt to compete for the world. Emperor Yang-ti was furious when he heard the news, and wanted to take Tang Yuan to Jiangdu for punishment. In this critical situation, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin: It's urgent. You can do something.
Pei Ji, Xu, samurai _ and other confidants around him also advised Li Yuan to fight, and Li Yuan finally made up his mind to fight against Sui. Therefore, Tang Gaozu, on the pretext of guarding against Liu Wuzhou and Turkic southward, sent Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Shunde, Sun Qiang, Liu Hongji and others to recruit everywhere, and raised thousands of people in ten days. Later, he sent someone to Hedong to recall his sons Li and Li Yuanji.
Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the left-behind aides in Taiyuan, saw that Li Yuan was recruiting troops and suspected that Li Yuan had infidelity, so they plotted to trick Li Yuan and his son into praying for rain in Jinci to get rid of Li and take credit for it. Unexpectedly, this conspiracy was learned by Liu Shilong, the head of Jinyang Township, and told Tang Gaozu. On May 15, Tang Gaozu and Li Shimin pre-emptively ordered Sima Liu of Kaiyang Prefecture to inform on Wang Wei and Gao Junya for secretly colluding with the Turks and leading them to invade the Central Plains, thus imprisoning them.
On May 17, tens of thousands of Turkish troops attacked Jinyang, and Tang Gaozu immediately ordered them to be beheaded. At the same time, Tang Gaozu made an empty city plan, opened the city gate and scared off the Turkish army. So, began to prepare for the anti-Sui.
