Yue Fei was a famous general in ancient China, who defended his country and resisted foreign enemies at the time of the collapse of the country at the turn of the Song Dynasty, and in one fell swoop he overcame many cities and pools taken by the Jin soldiers and achieved brilliant results. However, despite his hard work and high achievements, he was framed by Qin Ju of the Lord and the Sect, and coupled with the cowardice of Song Gaozong, who was bent on making peace with the Jin people, in the end, he was executed for the crime of "false accusation", which made the world strangle his wrists. In fact, in addition to Yue Fei, there was also a famous general who was wronged during the Song Dynasty.
The Yang family will be a famous family of warriors during the Song Dynasty, and this family alone exported excellent generals such as Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao to the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the novels created by later generations, they were extremely beautified and became symbols of loyalty and courage. In the series of novels of "Yang Jiajian", there is an impressive villain, that is, Pan Renmei, who is also the famous general who has been wronged as I want to talk about today. Why is his grievance comparable to Yue Fei's? And listen to the author here.
The traitor pan renmei in the novel, whose historical prototype is Pan Mei, was born in 925, which was still in the five generations and ten kingdoms period, because his father served as a military academy, so he was exposed to many things from an early age, and as he grew older, he also became a soldier. Later, when the Later Han Dynasty entered the last years and social problems were frequent, the young Pan Mei was keenly aware of this situation and said to her family: "The eldest husband does not take the name of merit and wealth at this time, but is ashamed to share all things with him." ''
Later, Pan Mei served as a servant of Chai Rong, the Crown Prince of Later Zhou, and served as an envoy after he succeeded to the throne, and later, Pan Mei followed Chai Rong's conquest, shi zai: "With Pan Meijing's thousands of strangled rivers and ridges, Yu Guo came to his aid, Mei Jianbi did not fight with it, and yu fled, and moved to the west to the west with merit. Gradually, Pan Mei accumulated military achievements and became a general relied on by the Later Zhou court, and had a friendly relationship with another famous general, Zhao Kuangyin. After Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied and declared themselves independent, Pan Mei also followed him and was very favored as a founding hero.
In the first year of Jianlong (960), Li Chongjin rebelled in Yangzhou under the banner of The Later Zhou of The Restoration, and Zhao Kuangyin led a large army to go on a crusade, and Pan Mei also followed. After the city of Yangzhou was destroyed, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to keep a trusted minister to guard the town, so he designated Pan Mei. Later, Pan Mei was stationed in the south, repelling the attacks from the Southern Han and ethnic minorities for Zhao Kuangyin, consolidating the stability of the territory and appeasing the people on the border.
His excellent performance in Tanzhou, Chenzhou and other places made Pan Mei more highly valued by Zhao Kuangyin, and in the next war to attack the Southern Han Dynasty, Pan Mei was named as a battalion of all armies deployed, Langzhou regiment training envoys, he even ke several prefectures, all the way into the important town of Shaoguan, the door of the Southern Han opened. Subsequently, Pan Mei drove straight in, occupied Guangzhou, and destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty. After the destruction of the Southern Han Dynasty, Pan Mei was stationed in Lingnan, suppressed bandits, and stabilized the local people, with remarkable political achievements.
Two years later, Pan Mei was ordered to conquer the Southern Tang and made another meritorious contribution in the process of defeating the Southern Tang army. The Southern Tang Had just collapsed, and Pan Meima, as a capital governor, went north to coordinate the attack on the Northern Han capital Taiyuan, destroying the Northern Han army. In this year, Zhao Kuangyin died, and his brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded him to the throne, making him an envoy of the Southern Yuan, and two years later, he was named the Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division. The so-called Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division, the official residence from Yipin, is the highest official rank of the scattered officials, and the status is very high, which shows that Pan Mei is favored.
In the fourth year of the Taiping Revival (979), Pan Mei completely wiped out the Northern Han Dynasty, and because of his merits, he also deployed the three cross-border capitals, and remained in the Northern Han territory as before, responsible for consolidating the territory after the pacification. In real history, Pan Mei is very important to Yang Ye, the representative of the Yang family, and often gives him the opportunity to lead alone. In the fifth year of the Taiping Revival (980), because of her outstanding contributions in the process of pacifying the world, Pan Mei was named the Acting Duke, and three years later he was changed to the Zhongwu Army JieduShi and the Duke of Korea.
In the third year of Yongxi (986), Pan Mei in the year of Hua Jia once again went on the Northern Expedition, and he led his army to capture four of the sixteen states of Youyun, and the battle achievements were not high, but Cao Bin, who led another road of soldiers and horses, suffered a military defeat and the Song army was forced to retreat. However, when the army was withdrawn, Yang Ye clashed with Wang Nong, Liu Wenyu and other generals, and in order not to be accused of cowardice, Yang Ye asked Miao to kill the enemy, but accidentally died in battle.
At that time, Yang Ye was a general that Song Taizong admired, because of his death in battle, Pan Mei had to bear the consequences, and was demoted three levels in a row to serve as an inspector taibao. A year later, Pan Mei was gradually promoted to the rank of Tongping Zhangshi, but soon after he died and was posthumously awarded the title of Zhongshu Ling. In later generations, Pan Mei received a lot of praise, such as the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang praised him: "Such as Han Chenping, Feng Yi, and Song Panmei are all righteous, and they are always good and can be temple-worshippers." ''
However, because it indirectly led to Yang Ye's death in battle, the people were very dissatisfied with Pan Mei. After the novel flourished, people praised the bravery and loyalty of the Yang family generals on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to find a very powerful traitor to reflect the high purity of the Yang family generals. In the end, Pan Mei was selected to become pan Renmei in the novel because of his prominent officialdom and the death of Yang Ye, who was accused and disliked by generations.
Pan Meiben is a generation of famous generals and heroes, but she has become the main villain in the book. Although Yue Fei died at that time, he left a good name after his death and was remembered by all generations, while Pan Mei was scolded after his death, and the grievances he suffered were also very great.
