From Downtown Hefei, go north along the Benghe Expressway to the toll station of Wushan Town, Changxing County, and cross Wushan Town along Wuwang Avenue. In the northwest suburb of the town is a small antique temple, the locals call it "Wu Wang Temple", the reason why it is called because behind the small temple there is a thousand-year-old Tomb of Wu Wang, the tomb is a mountain, called "Wu Shan", Wu Shan Town is from this.
Who was this mysterious Wu King who had made Wushan Town? What kind of untold story does he and Wu Shan have?
Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, said that the empress often hung up the term "Huai Right Cloth" on her lips, flaunting that she came from the masses of the people and was a brilliant example of the success of the grassroots counterattack. Coincidentally, this mysterious Wu king was also a typical "Huai Right Cloth Dress", and it was more than four hundred years earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang.
More importantly, these two people were still fellow villagers in Anhui, Lao Zhu was from Haozhou (present-day Fengyang, Anhui), and King Wu was from Luzhou (present-day Hefei, Anhui), so was the local specialty of Anhui the emperor?
Returning to the truth, this mysterious Wu king surnamed Yang, the name Xingmi, once used the name Xingxuan, the character Huayuan, Luzhou Hefei (present-day Wushan Town, Changfeng County, Anhui) clan, born in the sixth year of Tang Xuanzong's great middle school (852).
Yang Xingmi was born in an ordinary peasant family, his father Yang Xi faced the loess with his back to the sky, tossed in the land for a lifetime, and only barely maintained food and clothing, basically the kind of people who received low insurance in the village all year round. The old Yang family could not find a rich man for several generations, not even a few who read and wrote.
Speaking of Yang's, many people may think of Hongnong Yang's. The Hongnong Yang clan was once a top magnate in ancient times, and even the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, who established the Sui Dynasty, claimed to be from the Hongnong Yang clan in order to increase his own gold content. So is there a relationship between Yang Xingmi and Hongnong Yang Clan?
Unfortunately, the Hongnong Yang clan is in Huayin, Shaanxi, and the Yang Xingmi Yang clan is in Hefei, Anhui, and there is no evidence to prove that Yang Xingmi and the Hongnong Yang clan are related, and it is difficult to climb relatives.
Many years later, Yang Xingmi successfully started his business, divided Jiangnan and established the State of Wu, successfully counterattacked and became the first in the list of ten heroes, realized the gorgeous transformation of identity, and became a successful person in high society, so when the history of later generations was written to Yang Xingmi, he encountered a very embarrassing problem.
How to beautify this peasant son as the "chosen son"?
Wu Renchen of the Qing Dynasty's "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" said that Yang Xingmi was "a farmer in the world", his ancestors were farmers for generations, and he could not find a single one who ate imperial grain after going through the family tree for several generations. The Northern Song Dynasty Xue Juzheng's "History of the Old Five Dynasties" and Ouyang Xiu's "History of the New Five Dynasties" simply did not mention a word, after all, these two were both Northern Song Dynasty historians, and it was impossible for them to blow the trumpet for Yang Xingmi's usurpatory regime and simply shut up.
The history books do not write, so that the founding emperor's standard "auspicious signs", what night dream gods, flying dragons into the belly, red light full of rooms, strange fragrance ...
None! These people didn't bother to find a prominent ancestor for Yang Xingmi. But this is also good, at least Yang Mother does not have to worry about being harassed by the idiot gods, will not be flirted with by the obscene flying dragon, and the family will not inexplicably "catch fire", do not pay attention to the three thatched houses in the family to really burn.
All in all, Yang Xingmi was born so plainly, Yang Daddy did not have much joy, more than one him, less than him, there was no shortage of anything in the family, but there was no shortage of children.
But since you have been born, then sign it, after all, you can't refuse this kind of thing, can't you?
Although the history books do not describe Yang Xingmi's mysterious life, there is a point that various historical records are surprisingly consistent. That is to say, they all emphasized that Yang Xingmi, a person who is strong and strong, can lift a hundred pounds of heavy objects, run three hundred miles a day, and his kung fu is very powerful. This is very, very important in the chaotic world, the body is the capital of the revolution, and it is difficult to achieve a great cause without a strong body (Zhou Shizong Chai Rong next door seriously agrees).
As the saying goes, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and if the family is not well off, they must rely on knowledge to change their fate. The teenager Yang Xingmi was actually troubled by this problem.
During the late Tang Dynasty and the Qianfu Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and thieves in the Jianghuai area swarmed, gathered in the mountains and forests, attacked the prefecture and plundered the capital, and the formerly rich Jianghuai land was in ruins everywhere, the villages and villages were filial piety, and the people were displaced and miserable.
The fighting soon reached Yang Xingmi's hometown of Luzhou (庐州, in present-day Hefei, Anhui), and the small village was ransacked by various militants for three days. Almost all the people in the village who could run were running out, and Yang Xingmi, who was forced to make a living, had to carry the old baggage to join the fleeing team. People want to eat, this is a big problem, hungry Yang Xingmi felt a deep helplessness for the first time.
Soon, Yang Xingmi encountered a group of bandits recruiting bandits, and those who wanted to eat enough to come and welcome young people with lofty aspirations to join the cottage. Yang Xingmi, who was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back, licked his chapped lips and hardened his scalp to consult. The bandit leader saw that Yang Xing's secret man was tall and powerful, and he knew some kung fu, so he admitted him.
The history books no longer mention Yang Xingmi's parents and family at this point, and it is likely that he has died in the chaos of the soldiers, and Yang Xingmi, who is alone, has no worries.
Yang Xingmi, who had fallen into the grass, had not yet eaten a few full meals before he fought the first battle of his life with the large army. The cause of robbery developed rapidly, the ranks grew rapidly, and even the compulsory course of military training for new bandits was saved, and one person issued a broken knife with a curly blade and led it to the battlefield.
Yang Xingmi was also a little back, and the first round of charge was captured by the officers and soldiers (in the end, it was the new soldier egg, running slowly). At that time, the bandits who were caught by the officers and soldiers were all verified to be on the spot after being tested, which was an old rule.
It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang went to Haozhou (present-day Fengyang, Anhui) to join the army, he was almost slashed by Guo Zixing's soldiers as a traitor, and guo Zixing, who was patrolling the camp at a critical moment, passed by, and Zhu Yuanzhang used the power of the flood to shout: "Why kill such a good strong man!" He successfully attracted Guo Zixing's attention, so that he was left under the knife to save him.
I don't know if Yang Xingmi on the execution ground also yelled at the sky? It is certain that the classic bridge section of "leaving people under the knife" in the film and television drama really appeared, just when the executioner raised the ghost head knife, an official on the beheading table suddenly shouted to stop, ordered Yang Xingmi to be untied, and spared him the death penalty.
This person's name was Zheng Shu, and he was Yang Xingmi's parent official, and he was currently the Assassin of Luzhou.
Probably attracted by Yang Xingmi's appearance and temperament, Zheng Xu stepped forward and asked, "This official sees that your face is the face of wealth and nobility, and when you have something to do in the future, why should you willingly degenerate into a bandit?" ”
Saying that he ordered the release of Yang Xingmi, this is really in response to the sentence "Jiren has his own heavenly appearance", and the grassroots strugglers in history seem to have helped each other with nobles, which is a very magical feeling.
The great difficulty of not dying will have a blessing, Yang Xing began to reflect on his future life path after a false shock. Although the bandits come to pay quickly, after all, it is not a long-term solution, because you do not dare to guarantee that the next time you run slow and are captured, you will meet a noble person like Zheng Xu. After thinking about it, Yang Xingmi decided to wash his hands in the golden basin, submit a resignation application to the bandit boss, and start looking for a job again.
