author:Zou Jifu

Although the surname is not a big surname, there are still many high-profile figures in history, and Tan Zhong is one of them. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, he established the "Shu Shu" regime, also known as Later Shu and Western Shu. Now let's briefly introduce the Rumors and his Shu regime.

Early life

He lived in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was an era of mixed wars between various forces, and he witnessed warlord scuffles since he was a child, and at that time it was a social reality that the people were not happy about their lives, and he was determined to do a career and save the people from water and fire; he was smart and studious, careful, righteous, and willing to help the poor and the dangerous. Deeply loved by friends and people.

With the ambition of Ji Shi'an min, he joined the army, was highly skilled in martial arts and resourceful, and he continued to make meritorious contributions and promotions until he joined the army in Anxi Province (Ichisaku Pingxi joined the army). "Joining the army" is mainly responsible for the military affairs of the staff officers, and has a very high status in the army and has heavy powers and responsibilities.

Persecution and rebellion

In the first year of Yixi (405), the Assassin Shi sent Tan Zhong and Hou Hui and others to lead the Xianren of various counties to march east. Hou Hui had a rebellious heart, and taking advantage of the reluctance of the Liangzhou people to go east, he attempted to attack the general of Pingxi and Yizhou (present-day Sichuan) to assassinate Shi Maoxuan, and colluded with the Brazilian Yang Ming to plot at the mouth of the Five Cities to jointly force Yu To become an ally. Fearing that he would not obey, Hou Hui rescued him from the water and then asked for it, and after many requests, he finally used weapons to force Him to sit on the car, returned to the army, and attacked Mao Jin's brother Xiyi Colonel Mao Jin in Fucheng, Fucheng fell, Mao Jin was killed in battle, and Yu Zhong called himself Liang and Qin Erzhou Assassin History.

Mao Xuan came to Liaocheng, heard that there was a rebellion in the army, and Pegasus returned to Chengdu, sent Wang Qiong to lead three thousand people to recruit and connivance, and sent his younger brother Wang Zhen to lead 4,000 soldiers to follow Wang Qiong. He sent his younger brothers Mingzi and Hou Hui to defend Against Wang Qiong in Guanghan, and Wang Qiong defeated Hou Hui and others and pursued them to Mianzhu. Chen Mingzi set up two ambushes to wait, defeated Wang Qiongjun, and the officers died nine times out of ten. Li Teng, a camper in Yizhou, opened the city gate to meet the army of The Emperor, killed Mao Xuan and his brother Mao Xuan, and slaughtered their entire family.

Called the King of Chengdu

After Mao Xuan's death, he proclaimed himself the King of Chengdu, established the Western Shu regime, and appointed his cousin Tan Hong as the Assassin of Yizhou, and his younger brother Tan Mingzi as the general of Zhendong and the Assassin of Bazhou, leading a crowd of 5,000 people to garrison the White Emperor's City. Since then, the situation in Shudi has been in chaos, and the strength of Hanzhong has been very empty.

In the first month of the second year of Yixi (406), Sima Rongqi of Yizhou attacked Mingzi at the White Emperor's City and defeated him.

He was called Hou Qin

In September of the third year of Yixi (407), Later Qin sent envoys to the throne.

In May of the fourth year of Yixi (408), Hezong sent envoys to Later Qin to request to be a vassal state of Later Qin, while secretly colluding with Lu Xun. Later Qin submitted a chapter and asked Huan Qian to come, intending to attack Liu Yu with him. Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing then sent him Huan Qian. Huan Qian arrived in Chengdu, humbly and humbly, and recruited people from all over the world to rely on. Gradually, he became suspicious of him, put him under house arrest, and sent someone to guard him.

In the first month of the fifth year of Yixi (409), Yao Xing sent envoys to make him the governor of Dadu, Xiangguo, and the King of Shu, and conferred the title of Jiuxi, and could directly appoint officials and knighthoods according to the book, all in the same manners as the king.

In September of the sixth year of Yixi (410), Yu Zhong sent his attendant Yu Liang and others to Later Qin to request that Later Qin send troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Huan Qian was appointed as the Assassin of Jingzhou, and Tan Daofu was appointed as the Assassin of Liang Prefecture, leading an army of 20,000 men to invade Jingzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Yao Xing sent the former general Gou Lin to lead the cavalry to join them.

The army collapsed and fled

In the ninth year of Yixi (413), Liu Yu appointed Zhu Lingshi (朱令石) of Xiyang Taishou as the assassin of Yizhou, and the Ningshuo generals Zang Xi (臧喜), Xia Pi Taishou (下邳太守) Liu Zhong (刘鐘), and Lanling Taishou (蘭陵太守蒯恩) led an army of 20,000 men from Jiangling to conquest. When the selection of the marshal began, it was difficult to find the right person, Zhu Lingshi's qualifications were relatively shallow, and Liu Yu promoted him despite the opinions of everyone and handed over half of his subordinates to him. Zang Xi was Liu Yu's brother-in-law, with a higher official position than him, but subordinate to Zhu Lingshi. Zhu Lingshi entered the White Emperor's City, and Yu Yu sent Yu Daofu to defend Fucheng with heavy troops.

Zhu Lingshi's army was stationed in Pingmo, two hundred miles away from Chengdu, and the generals Hou Hui and Shangshu sent the generals Hou Hui and Shangshu servants to gather in Pingmo, and along the two sides of the river, the castles continued one after another, and the high-rise buildings were heavy, and the officers and troops could not break through. Zhu Lingshi said to Liu Zhong: "The weather is hot, the thieves are now stubbornly holding on to danger, and it is difficult to seize the attack, which only makes our army trapped." I'm going to recharge my batteries for a temporary truce and look for opportunities to attack, what do you think? Liu Zhong said, "No. Earlier, it was threatened that you would attack by the waterway, so Yu Daofu did not dare to abandon Fucheng, and now that the army is approaching, it is unexpected, and Hou Hui's disciples have been frightened. Just by taking advantage of the situation, you will definitely be able to defeat him. After conquering Pingmo, you can attack forward with great fanfare, and Chengdu will definitely be able to take it. If the slow troops hold each other and are detected by the other side to hear the truth, the Fucheng defenders will come again, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist. Jin could not fight, retreated without financial support, and more than 20,000 people were to be captured by the Shuzhong boys. Zhu Lingshi obeyed Liu Zhong's plan. The next day, all the attacks were victorious, killing Hou Hui and others, so they entered the army.

The defenders of the various places collapsed one after another, and the rebels fled, and his Shangshu ordered Ma to seal the warehouse and wait for the officials to enter the city. Zhu Lingshi entered Chengdu, killed the clan relatives of the same clan as The Emperor, and appeased the rest of them, allowing them to resume their old business.

Hanged himself

On the fifth day of the first month of July in the ninth year of Yixi (413), Shang Shu abandoned Chengdu and fled, and Shangshu ordered Ma Tan to seal the treasury and wait for the Eastern Jin army. On the ninth day of july, Zhu Lingshi entered Chengdu and killed the relatives of his grandfather, and the rest of the people lived in peace and let them resume normal production and operation.

He fled from Chengdu and first went to bid farewell to the ancestral mausoleum, and his daughter said: Running away must not escape, but only to obtain more insults, the same is death, you can die next to the tomb of your ancestors. Don't listen. When Tan Daofu heard that Pingmo had fallen, he led troops from Fucheng to the rescue, and he went to defect to him.

When Tan Daofu saw the indulgence, he was furious and said, "The great husband has such a great meritorious cause, but he has abandoned it, where are you going to go!" A person who can not die, how to be afraid of becoming like this! So he threw his sword at him fiercely, only to cut his saddle. He had no choice but to leave, hang himself, and the Western Shu regime perished. Wang Zhi, a Brazilian, cut off his head and gave it to Zhu Lingshi.
