The Wagangzhai Uprising was an important peasant armed uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it had a high reputation among the people. In the Wagangzhai camp, there were many good men who later defected to the Tang Dynasty, they served the Tang Dynasty, and some of them later became officials and prime ministers. Among the generals who defected to the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Wei Zheng, and Zhang Liang were the most famous, and these except for Luo Shixin's untimely death, all of them entered the ranks of Ling Yange's heroes.
Luo Shixin was a fierce general of the early Tang Dynasty, who served under Li Mi and Wang Shichong. After his surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he accompanied Li Shimin in many battles of the Eastern Crusades, and later, Luo Shixin was captured in the campaign against Liu Heimin, and finally killed unyieldingly. Luo Shixin was only twenty years old at the time of his murder and had not yet married, so he had no descendants, so we will exclude him for the time being.
Qin Qiong can be counted as the first fierce general in the Tang army camp, who fought bravely and was known as a xiao general. After the defeat of the Wagang army, Qin Qiong temporarily defected to Wang Shichong, at that time, he saw that Wang Shichong was faint, so he planned to defect to the Tang Dynasty, and when he was plotting, Wang Shichong discovered Qin Qiong's actions, and forced to helplessly, Qin Qiong had to take his family Xiao and Cheng Yaojin with him to defect to the Tang Dynasty. However, at this juncture, Qin Qiong's son still did not escape, and Wang Shichong sent someone to kill all of Qin Qiong's concubines, and then sent someone to hunt down and kill Qin Qiong.
After Qin Qiong surrendered to Tang, he was constantly promoted by Li Shimin, but because he lost his son at an early age, his descendants also withered away. Qin Qiong's grandson later achieved the position of county commander, which was also the best among Qin Qiong's descendants.
Li Ji's descendants were much luckier, and as a famous general of the Three Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji was trusted by the emperor. Li Ji's descendants, the most famous are Li Jingye, Who was Li Ji's grandson who rebelled against the Tang during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong. Li Jingye inherited the title of Duke of England, and among the descendants of the Tang Dynasty heroes, he was also the first descendant to dare to raise the banner of anti-Zhou. After The defeat of Li Jingye's army, Li Ji's surname was stripped away, but later Emperor Zhongzong re-succeeded to the throne, and his descendants were restored to the Surname of Li, and Li Ji was highly valued in the Tang Dynasty, and after Li Jingye, Li Siwen became a famous courtier during the Tang Xuanzong period.
As an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Cheng Zhijie was also treated by Emperor Taizong of Tang and Li Shimin. Cheng Yaojin had six sons, the second son married Princess Qinghe, the daughter of Emperor Taizong, and the younger son became the general of Jinwuwei, from this point of view, Cheng Zhijie was also considered a relative of the emperor. After Cheng's death, his eldest son inherited his title, and later, his grandson became the Great General of Zuo Yiwei in the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng's descendants were undoubtedly the best mixed, and Wei Zheng himself had consulted many times during the Tang Taizong period and was deeply trusted by Tang Taizong. Wei Zheng's descendants produced a chancellor, who was the famous minister of the Wuzhou Dynasty, Wei Mo, who did not rely on Grace and Glory, he entered the army entirely by virtue of his own ability. Wei Zheng's grandson Wei Hua was also a famous calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty.
Among the descendants of wagangzhai generals, the worst mixed is Zhang Liang's pulse. Although Zhang Liang was no better than Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Qiong and others, he was also a famous general in the Qin Palace. During the Zhenguan period, Zhang Liang accompanied Li Jing on several expeditions, and he had made great contributions in the battles against the Eastern Turks and Tuguhun, and was also an official and worshipped the duke of guo. However, although Zhang Liang had distinguished himself in battle, he participated in the rebellion in his later years, and under the influence of Hou Jun's conspiracy against the case, Zhang Liang was also stripped of his title by Tang Taizong. After Zhang Liang's death, his descendants were also deposed as commoners.
Among these good Han of Wagang Village, the descendants of Wei Zheng are the most outstanding, and their family style is very strict, and their descendants are naturally quite outstanding. Affected by Zhang Liang's conspiracy case, Zhang Liang's descendants were the worst mixed. The Tang Dynasty was an era of attaching importance to identity, and since Zhang Liang's son was deposed as a commoner, he had no chance to join the army, and Zhang Liang himself participated in the rebellion, and his descendants were naturally suppressed by the government for a long time.
