A golden knife and eight guns, seven langs and eight tigers breaking into Youzhou, blood battle golden beach, Mu Guiying hanging commander, Yang Men female generals each heroic martyr, twelve widows Zhengxi, She Taijun 100 years old commander, burning fire servant Yang Paifeng... A scene of heroic praise appears before our eyes, and the loyalty of the Yang family general also makes us admire, but is this really the case in history?
We have to face the reality, the history and story of the Yang family are far apart, let's "debunk the rumors" one by one.
TempoYang House - Who am I and where am I?
Because the Yang family made great military achievements for the Song Dynasty, in order to honor the Yang family, Song Taizong rewarded 500 taels of gold to build the Tianbo Yang Mansion, and stipulated that the civilian officials should be dismissed and the military attaches should be dismounted. Tianbo Yang Mansion is the totem of the Yang family, and it has even become an iconic landmark at that time. Many stories also unfold from tianbo Yang Mansion, such as Pan Renmei's son who did not get off the horse outside Yang Mansion and praised the official for three days, which caused dissatisfaction among the female generals of Yangmen, and a series of stories began.
I'm going to pour a basin of cold water! Sorry, there is no Tempo Yang Mansion at all in history! But there is indeed an ordinary Yang Mansion, and after Yang Ye was martyred, this mansion was changed to a family temple, named "Xiaoyan Temple". Some people will definitely say how there is no Tianbo Yang Mansion, I went there last year! There is indeed one, but it was a tourist attraction built in 1994 and is a large private garden. The Yang family 1,000 years ago could not have waited until the end of the 20th century to live in Tianbo Yang Province! It seems that the Yang family will not die in battle for the country, but will freeze to death without returning home, joke.
The Yang family will be 1.0 era Yang Jiye - the only person close to historical facts
Yang Jiye, the Duke of Yang Laoling, was the first generation of Yang Jiajian, who was framed by Pan Renmei in the novel, and finally surrounded by the Liao army, did not eat the Liao army's meals for three days and three nights, did not drink the water of the Liao army, and finally sacrificed his life for the country, and the old general Yang also became a great hero of the Song Dynasty.
The historical Yang Jiye was originally named Yang Ye, and indeed he was a hero of battle, a mighty earthquake in Huaxia, and the Khitan people who saw Yang Ye's banner were all frightened and called Yang Ye "Yang Invincible". Yang Ye was indeed defeated and finally died on hunger strike. But Yang Ye was not killed in the confrontation with the Liao army, but was captured by the Liao army and died on hunger strike, and history is so cruel. Although the old general Yang showed his national integrity, after all, he was also captured by the Liao army, so in order to maintain the perfect image of Yang Jiye in the novel, it was changed to Yang Jiye who took the initiative to die in the process of being surrounded by the Liao army.
And the more cruel reality is that Yang Ye has not even been to the Golden Ruan Hall, let alone Song Taizong building the Tianbo Yang Mansion for the Yang family? During the Northern Han Dynasty, Yang Ye followed the Liao army against him, and finally the Northern Han Dynasty fell, and Yang Ye surrendered to the Song and continued to fight with the Liao army. Therefore, although Yang Ye made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, he was a general after all, so he was criticized. Secondly, the Song Dynasty has always been heavy on literature and light on martial arts, which is also the reason why a series of famous generals such as Yang Ye have not had a position in the dynasty, such as Yue Fei and Di Qing.
Finally, it should be noted that Yang Ye was not framed by Pan Renmei, but By Wang, and this issue will continue to be discussed later.
The Yang family will be 2.0 era Yang Yanzhao - I am not the sixth old
Yang Yanzhao does have his own people in history, both handsome and general, capable of literature and martial arts, all of which are the same as novels. Also in order to resist Empress Xiao's attack, Sheng Zhi came to a good play of "frozen city pool", and finally the Liao people gave him the nickname "Yang Liulang". At first glance, it sounds really ridiculous, yang liulang this title should not be given by his father Yang Ye, how is it given by the Liao people?
It was really given by the Liao people, because Yang Yanzhao was not the sixth elder at all, and he did not have the younger brother of the Seven Langs and Eight Tigers, he had five brothers, these five brothers were relatively mediocre, and they were all lords who followed the back of his father's ass, of which Yang Ye's eldest son Yang Yanyu went out with his father and died on the battlefield. The rest is rarely described. There is no novel in which the boss pretends to be the emperor, the second boss pretends to be the eighth prince, the old third dies on the battlefield, the old fourth and the fifth are missing, the old sixth Yang Yanzhao retreats completely, and the old eighth kills himself before the battle (one says depressed and ends).
So how did the title of "Yang Liulang" come about? In fact, it is because the Liao people are very superstitious, believing that the sixth of the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky is the Liao state, and Yang Yanzhao has rarely lost in the battle with the Liao army, so the Liao people think that he is the reincarnation of the sixth Sirius star in the big dipper seven stars, guarding the north, so he gave him the nickname "Yang Liulang". It is equal to the Yang family will be in the second generation of Yang Yanzhao a figure who can get his hands on it, and the rest will all pull his crotch.
Who is Yang Wenguang-Mu Guiying in the Yang family in the 3.0 era?
In the novel, Yang Yanzhao's son is named Yang Zongbao, who is also a strong martial artist, but he can't beat Mu Guiying, and is arrested by Mu Guiying, and then the two get married and give birth to Yang Wenguang. And Yang Wenguang is also a man of both literature and martial arts, the young man is also handsome, directly married two daughters-in-law, the three of them live a happy life, and the Yang family is also doubly protective of this single seedling.
In fact, there is no Yang Zongbao at all, he is not Yang Wenguang's father, let alone Mu Guiying's husband. The real third generation of the Yang family is actually the fourth generation of yang Wenguang in the novel, Yang Wenguang is Yang Yanzhao's son, he does not know Mu Guiying at all, Wen Tao's martial strategy is also ordinary, to be precise, to Yang Wenguang's generation, the Yang family will officially decline. Although Yang Wenguang also has the heart to serve the country and change the status quo of the Song Dynasty, but the freezing of three feet is not a day's cold, many things have been deeply rooted, not a single Yang Wenguang can reverse it, so Yang Wenguang basically has nothing to do. Unfortunately, the legend of the Yang family general ended here.
Mu Guiying took command
Not only does Yang Wenguang not know Mu Guiying, the "mother", in fact, no one in the Yang family knows Mu Guiying, because Mu Guiying does not exist at all! While this is disappointing, it is the truth. And Mu Guiying in the novel is like a god under the heavens, a little girl not only beat her fiancé Yang Zongbao to the ground, but also rode a horse arm to catch her husband Yang Yanzhao alive. Unfortunately, there is no such heroine, even if there is, it is impossible to have so much strength, and now the top fitness instructors riding horses may not be able to move a big boss.
She Taijun took command
In the novel, it is said that the hundred-year-old ancestor She Taijun personally took command at the time of national crisis, leading the Female General of Yangmen to fight with the enemy to the death, which is really singable and weeping, but this disappoints us again, needless to say that She Taijun is the commander, there are very few people in that era who have lived past 70 years old, how to talk about hanging the marshal? Being able to sustain life with infusions is a miracle in human history.
The old lady's body is not good, yangmen female general should always be OK, right? Sorry, there is no such thing as a Female General of Yangmen. Even now, there are few women who show their heads on the battlefield, let alone the female relatives who were wrapped in small feet at that time. But the only thing that makes us talk about comfort is that there is indeed a person in history, She Taijun, whose original surname is Folding, and the Yang family is the same as Shanxi Haoqiang, jointly resisting the Khitan and ensuring peace on the side, and finally becoming related to Yang Ye. Except for she Taijun, that's all.
Pan Renmei - innocent lying gun
The Yang family generals mainly had two major enemies, one of whom was Pan Renmei, whose son passed through Yang Mansion, not only did not get off his horse, but also deliberately provoked, and finally was taught a lesson by the Yang Men female general. Since then, Pan Renmei has a grudge in his heart, not only framed the old Linggong Yang Jiye, but also killed the most courageous Yang Qilang, killing a large number of people before and after, making people hate and itch their teeth.
This we can really blame Pan Renmei, Pan Renmei's prototype is called Pan Mei, is a Song Dynasty general, he "Pingling Table, Dingjiang South, Zheng Taiyuan, Zhenbeimen", a lifetime of horse fighting, battle achievements, can be called meritorious and worldly, should have been a highly respected historical figure. It is pure nonsense to say that he killed Yang Jiye, but the two did work together, when Song Taizong ordered the conquest of the Liao State, both of them listened to orders under Wang Yi, Wang Yi deliberately framed Yang Ye, causing Yang Ye to finally sacrifice his life for the country, Pan Mei wanted to stop Yang Ye, but he had no right to speak, and finally he could only watch Yang Ye die, so the whole incident actually had Pan Mei's existence, but it had little to do with Pan Mei.
Di Qing - The Hidden King
Another enemy of the Yang family is Di Qing, who is even more brutally hacked in the novel, and also has a conflict with the Yang family, and has framed the Yang family ever since. In the end, he almost became an accomplice of the enemy.
In fact, Di Qing and the Yang family will not intersect at all, the Yang family will always be fighting against the Liao state, and Di Qing's main job is to fight against the Western Xia, which is basically two departments and two eras. In history, Di Qing did things thoughtfully, using troops to set a long-term plan first; fighting against the enemy, making good use of deceit; strict military discipline and treating soldiers well. He was a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and in the end, because the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light weapons, the emperor fainted, and the result was depressed. In fact, he is a figure like Yue Fei, and he is not a villain who eats inside and outside at all.
In other words, in history, the value of one Di Qing is higher than that of the Yang family to add everyone together, and Di Qing is the real generation of famous generals who defend the family and the people, born into death.
