In the story of Yang Jiajian, since the first generation of The Golden Dagger Yang Ye, the second generation has the seven sons of the Yang family, the third generation of Yang Zongbao and Yang Zongxian, the fourth generation has Yang Wenguang and Yang Wenju, the fifth generation has Yang Huaiyu, the sixth generation has Yang Shihan, the seventh generation has Yang Jinbao, the eighth generation has Yang Mantang, and the ninth generation has Yang Zaixing. Coupled with She Taijun, Yang Bamei, Yang Jiumei, Yang Paifeng, Mu Guiying and other Female Generals of Yangmen, the Yang family in Tianbo Province can be described as a wealth of talents, from the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, there are talents from generation to generation, which can be described as famous generals and stars like clouds.
However, this is only a story in the novel and the interpretation, and during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang family of Tianbo Province would definitely not exist.
The founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, was originally a heavy minister of Northern Zhou, but after the early death of Northern Zhou Shizong Chai Rongying, Zhao Kuangyin directed a good play of yellow robes and body, and seized the Jiangshan of Northern Zhou. After Zhao Kuangyin sat firmly in Jiangshan, his heart was a little afraid, those people could support him in the yellow robe, so could their people also perform such a play?
Of course, compared with the emperors who wantonly slaughtered the founding heroes, Zhao Kuangyin was kind, but he came with a "glass of wine to release the military power". After this, throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, the decline of Wensheng and Wu was the norm. If, as mentioned in the novel, the Yang family in Tianbo Province has been famous for generations, how can such a thing be tolerated by the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty?
However, aside from what the novelist said, the yang family in history can also be regarded as a generation of famous families. Starting from the old Linggong Golden Sword Yang Ye, there were also three generations of Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, and Yang Wenguang's grandchildren who served as generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, of which Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao belonged to the famous generals of the world.
Needless to say, the golden sword Yang Ye did not need to say much, or he fought with the Khitan many times when the Northern Han Dynasty was a general, and he was known as Yang Invincible. Yang Ye's eldest son, Yang Yanzhao, had the style of a father, guarding the northwest for many years and threatening the Liao people. The Liao people have always taken the sixth star of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the sky as their nemesis, Yang Yanzhao has repeatedly ke liao people, and the Liao people have thought that Yang Yanzhao is the sixth star in the sky, so they call it Yang Liulang. (In the novel, Yang Yanzhao is the sixth son of Yang Ye, so he is called Yang Liulang, but in fact Yang Yanzhao is Yang Ye's eldest son)
In the generation of Yang Yanzhao's son Yang Wenguang (Yang Wenguang is Yang Yanzhao's grandson in the novel), although he is also serving as an official, it is far from the same level compared to his ancestors and fathers.
Since Yang Wenguang, the Yang family has disappeared in the history of the two Song Dynasties, and the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yang Zaixing, although he is also surnamed Yang, has nothing to do with Yang Ye's line.
Of course, this does not mean that Yang Ye's descendants have disappeared. Nowadays, in Sichuan, Hunan, Anhui and other provinces, there are descendants of the Yang family. In Zitong, Sichuan, there is an old man named Yang Kaihua, who claims to be the 37th generation of the Yang family and is proficient in the Yang family's 36-way marksmanship.
