Speaking of Yang Jiajian, many people should have learned about Yang Jiejiang's story through novels or TV series. The first generation of General Yang was Yang Ye, who was earlier a general of the Northern Han Dynasty and was given the surname "Liu" by the Emperor of North Korea at that time. It was not until after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty that Yang Ye returned to the Northern Song Dynasty and changed back to his nature. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Yexiao was brave and good at war, and his achievements were brilliant, and since then, the reputation of Yang Jiajian has spread far and wide.
Later, he came to the second generation of generals of the Yang family, that is, Yang Yanzhao. Although the Song Dynasty at this time was already peaceful and stable, and there was no turmoil in the early days of the founding of the country, yang Yanzhao's prestige was still not lost to his father when he was stationed on the frontier and fought with the Khitan nation in the north, and the style of the Yang family general was still the same.
The prestige of the Yang family general spread far and wide, but when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, it did not come out to save, which inevitably makes people a little strange, why is this? When the Northern Song Dynasty fell, where would the Yang family be in the future?
In fact, in the records in the main history, the Yang family has already declined in the yang Wenguang generation, and its style is no less than that of that year, when wars became frequent and battles became more and more difficult, but the Yang family no longer had descendants who could resist the enemy as heroically as their ancestors.
And the reason why there is such a situation, there is a very important reason is that the Northern Song Dynasty advocated the "emphasis on literature and light on martial arts", everyone wants to live and work in peace and contentment, if you get a good name, it is the best thing, because the civil officials at that time were treated richly.
However, the martial generals do not have such a good situation in comparison, so many people abandon wu Congwen, even if some people still advocate martial arts, but in the end there will be no great development, and even will be excluded, so the Yang family will not want to save in the end, but because after being affected by the trend of the whole society, they have become powerless.
