A lifetime of conquest, more for less to win more, standing wonders. It can sweep the river in the north and can also ride the border with the division. The Battle of the Northern Expedition can be described as a tiger. Even Chairman Mao was fascinated when he read his biography. With only seven thousand white-robed troops, when a city is destroyed, the enemy army killed is frightened. Seeing the white-robed army, then this person is also ready to come out, yes, he is Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi (Chinese: 陈庆之; pinyin: Zhāng Zhāng Zhāng), a native of Yixing Guoshan (present-day southwest of Yixing, Jiangsu), was an outstanding military figure of the Liang Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Chen Qingzhi became Xiao Yan's retinue from an early age. At that time, Go was all the rage, and Xiao Yan played all night. The rest of the retinue had rested, but Chen Qingzhi did not sleep, and the invitation was imminent, so Xiao Yan was very appreciative of him.
In the last year of Southern Qi, Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongxia, was brutal in government, and chen Xianda, Pei Shuye, Cui Huijing and other famous generals rebelled successively. In November of the second year of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Xiao Yan (then yongzhou assassin shi) also rebelled against Qi, and Chen Qingzhi followed Xiao Yan all the way to conquer Jiankang. In the first year of the Tianjian Dynasty, Xiao Yandai Qi was called emperor, and the state name Liang was for Emperor Wu of Liang. Chen Qingzhi was appointed as the chief secretary, and during his tenure, he scattered wealth and gathered soldiers, often thinking about utility.
King of Wei
In the ordinary six years, Chen Qingzhi's path of the military god also slowly began. At that time, the Northern Wei Xuzhou Assassin Shi Yuanfa monks rebelled unsuccessfully, and in order to protect themselves, he surrendered to the Liang state at Pengcheng and asked Emperor Wu of Liang to send troops to meet him. Emperor Wu of Liang made Chen Qingzhi a general of Wuwei, and together with Hu Longya and Cheng Jingjun, led the Liang army to meet him. After returning to the army, Chen Qingzhi served as the general Xuanmeng and the commander of Wende, and led 2,000 people to send Xiao Zong, the king of Yuzhang, into the town of Xuzhou.
In May, the State of Wei sent Yuan Yanming, the king of Anfeng, and Yuan Yu, the king of Linhuai, to attack with 20,000 soldiers and horses. Yuan Yanming sent his general Qiu Daqian to build a fortress to cut off the Liang army's offensive line. Chen Qingzhi led his army to the front, and when the two armies clashed, the Wei army had the tendency to collapse.
Chen Qingzhi
But what people did not expect was that in June, Xiao Zong abandoned the Liang army at night and surrendered to Wei. After dawn, Liang Jun looked for Xiao Andi, but saw Wei Jun outside the city saying, "King Ruyu Zhangwang came last night, in our army, what is Ru Shang?"! The Liang army then collapsed. The Wei army entered Pengcheng, pursued liang soldiers with victory, retaken Zhucheng, and returned to Suyu. The Liang army lost 78 out of 10, and only Chen Qingzhi retreated at night, and all his troops were able to return.
The following year, a war broke out between Wei and Liang, and Chen Qingzhi, as a false festival and general of the military, followed the general Anxi on his expedition to Shouchun. In a short period of time, Chen Qingzhi took two cities, and in the following months, Chen Qingzhi could be said to be more and more courageous in the Vietnam War. When the battle was over, the Liang army captured fifty-two cities and captured more than 75,000 people. Chen Qingzhi also transferred to the Eastern Palace Zhige by virtue of this merit, and was even given the title of Marquis of Guanzhong.
With the passage of time, in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, when the northern Wei dynasty had begun to corrupt, ethnic and class contradictions became more and more intense. In the second year of Datong, civil unrest broke out in Northern Wei, and Erzhu Rong, who suppressed the rebellion, wantonly slaughtered the Northern Wei imperial family, and Yuan Hao, the king of Wei Beihai, demoted Liang on the grounds of the chaos of the dynasty and asked liang to send troops to help him claim the title of emperor. For strategic reasons, Emperor Wu of Liang made Yuan Hao the King of Wei, and Chen Qingzhi as a false festival and a general of Soaring Courage, and led 7,000 troops to escort Yuan Hao to the north.
In April of the first year of Datong, Chen Qingzhi led his army all the way to Xingcheng (present-day Shangqiudong, Henan), and the Wei general Qiu Daqian led an army of 70,000 people to resist Chen Qingzhi, chen Qingzhi led an army to attack, and within a day he captured three cities, forcing Qiu Daqian to surrender.
Yuan Hao then declared himself emperor at Suiyang (睢陽, in modern Shangqiunan, Henan). He was awarded to Chen Qingzhi as an envoy, a general of Zhenbei, a protector of the army, and a former military governor. Yuanhuiye, the King of Wei Jiyin, led 20,000 Yulin troops to help and enter tunkao city (屯考城, in modern minquan, henan). Kaocheng is surrounded by water on all sides and is heavily guarded. Chen Qingzhi ordered his men to build a fort on the surface of the water, capture his city, annihilate 20,000 people, capture Yuan Huiye, and rent 7,800 cars.
Then Chen Qingzhi led the army straight to Luoyang, and wherever he passed, the Wei army surrendered one by one, which was enough to show that Chen Qingzhi's power was terrible, but this was not the end. After Yuan Hao captured the state of Liang, he made Chen Qingzhi the general of Wei, the Assassin of Xuzhou, and the Duke of Wudu, and ordered him to continue to oversee the westward attack on Xingyang. After the capture of Xingyang, Yuan Tianmu led his troops to besiege the city, Chen Qingzhi led 3,000 elite horses to fight behind the city, the great destruction, Lu An surrendered before the battle, Yuan Tianmu and Erzhu Tu'er were exempted from riding alone. Chen Qingzhi's collection of Xingyang's reserves, Niu Ma Gu Shuai was invincible. Chen Qingzhi immediately attacked The Tiger Prison, Erzhu Shilong did not dare to fight, abandoned the city and fled, and the Liang army captured Wei Dongzhonglang's general Xin Lu.
Shortly after the battle, Chen Qingzhi led an army to attack The Liang and Liang States, both of which were overcome. After Emperor Wu of Liang heard the news, he again personally wrote an edict to praise him. Chen Qingzhi and his subordinates all wore white robes, and they were invincible along the way, so the nursery rhyme in Luoyang City said: "The famous master and general Mo Zi are imprisoned, and thousands of soldiers and horses avoid white robes." Chen Qingzhi also went from Qixian to Luoyang with a crowd of 7,000 people, fighting 47 battles and attacking 32 cities. It is also these 7,000 white-robed troops that have cast Chen Qingzhi's invincible prestige, and Chen Qingzhi and these 7,000 white-robed armies have also left a strong mark in history.
In October of the fifth year of Datong (539 AD), Chen Qingzhi died at the age of fifty-six. Emperor Wu of Liang, for his loyalty to his duties, outstanding military achievements, and outstanding political achievements, posthumously awarded him the title of General of the Scattered Horse and the General of the Left Guard, advocated a ministry, known as "Wu", and ordered Yixing County to send 500 people to mourn for him. The eldest son, Chen Zhaosi.
Chen Qingzhi has a cautious personality, and is frugal by nature, and does not do anything extravagant. He was kind to people, and he was more loving and protective of his subordinates, and he could get his soldiers to follow him to the death, and he was not from a high-ranking official and aristocratic family, but was completely from a cold door. It can be said that Chen Qingzhi's status is completely dependent on his own step by step. This is Chen Qingzhi!
