The Song Dynasty is the dynasty with the most novels, and the Yang family, the Hu family, and the Yue family will be well known. In addition, there are the Gao family, the Di family, the Cao family, the Zheng family, the Shi family, etc., all of which have lasted for many generations.
In fact, in real history, there are very few famous generals in three consecutive generations of a family. The Chronicle of Wang Qilie has a saying: "He who is a husband will be defeated for the third time." What about the losers? He who kills many of them will be destroyed, and he will be ominous afterwards. In ancient times, there were also three generations of generals, which were taboos of the Taoists.
In the long river of history, there are not many families with three generations of generals. The Qin Dynasty's Mengxiao, Mengwu, mengtian, Wang Qi, Wang Ben, and Wang Li were counted as the families of two famous generals of three generations, but Mengtian and Wang Li did not end up well after all. The Geng family of the Eastern Han Dynasty can be regarded as jumping out of this spell, and several generations of famous people will still enjoy the years of fame. Genghis Khan's golden family does not say, Mongolia's Subutai, Wuliang Hetai, Ashu, three generations of grandchildren are famous generals. Don't look at the Song Dynasty family will be so many, in fact, the Yue family only Yue Fei, Yue Yun father and son are two famous generals, the Cao family has Cao Bin, Cao Wei two generations of famous generals, Di, Hu, Gao, Shi, Zheng family is basically only one generation.
Are there three generations of ancestors and grandchildren in the Song Dynasty who have been successive generals? The first is the most well-known Yang family general, whose grandchildren have been famous for three consecutive generations. There are also two lesser-known families of famous generals, the Seed Family Army and the Folding Family Army. In terms of popularity, the Seed Family and the Folding Family are completely incomparable with the Yang Family, which is only because the Yang Family will step onto the stage and be rendered colorful, while the Seed Family and the Folding Family have entered the main history and been annihilated by words. In fact, in the right history, the number of famous generals and the merits of the seed family and the folding family are far from being comparable to the Yang family.
The three famous general families of the Song Dynasty
1. General Yang Jia
The story of the Yang family is widely circulated in the folk, and there are nine generations of heroic legends in the commentary. Since the volcanic king Yang Gun of the fifth generation of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Jiye, Qilang Eight Tigers, Yang Zongbao, Yang Wenguang, Yang Huaiyu, Yang Shihan, Yang Jinbao, and Yang Mantang all have legendary stories. In fact, in history, the Yang family only had three famous generals, Yang Ye, Yang Yanzhao, and Yang Wenguang.
The first generation of yang family generals was Yang Ye, which is the old Linggong Yang Jiye mentioned in the interpretation. Born in the Five Dynasties period, Yang Ye followed Liu Chong, the ancestor of the Northern Han Dynasty, since childhood, and was known for his bravery and good fighting, and repeatedly made military achievements, when people gave him the nickname "Invincible".
After the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, Yang Ye submitted to the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye made many military achievements, and once defeated the Liao soldiers at the Battle of Yanmen Pass, and since then he has shocked the Liao state. During the Yongxi Northern Expedition, the first three roads were victorious, but with the defeat of the main force of the Eastern Road, the situation was reversed, and the Liao army began to counterattack. In this situation, Emperor Taizong of Song ordered Pan Mei and Yang Ye of the Western Route to escort the people of the previously captured four prefectures of Yun, Shuo, Huan, and Ying to move inland. Yang Ye suggested that the archers block the Liao army and escort the people to evacuate, but the overseer Wang Nong did not agree, provoking Yang Ye to fight. Yang Ye led his troops into battle, but the battle was lost, and by the time he led his troops to the mouth of Chen Jiagu, Pan Mei and Wang Nong had already deserted and evacuated. Under the lone army, Yang Ye was wounded and captured, and died after three days of hunger strike.
The second generation of the Yang family will be Yang Yanzhao. According to the "History of Song", Yang Ye did have seven sons, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanyu, Yang Yanpu, Yang Yanxun, Yang Yanggui, Yang Yanggui, Yang Yanbin, except for Yang Yanyu who died in battle during the Northern Expedition, the rest of the people were rewarded after Yang Ye's death, the most famous being Yang Yanzhao.
During the Yongxi Northern Expedition, Yang Yanzhao served as a pioneer in his father's attack on Ying and Shuo Prefectures. After Yang Ye's death, Yang Yanzhao took on the heavy responsibility of resisting the Liao in Yanbian, Hebei, he was wise and brave, he was good at war, he once poured water and iced the city to resist the Liao army, and also repelled the Liao army many times. Emperor Zhenzong of Song also attached great importance to Yang Yanzhao and tried his best to protect him, and after his death, he sighed greatly and sent eunuchs to escort the coffin back to his hometown, and most of the people in heshuo saw his coffin and wept bitterly.
The third generation of yang family generals is Yang Wenguang, the son of Yang Yanzhao. In the novel, Yang Yanzhao's son is Yang Zongbao, Yang Zongbao's son is Yang Wenguang, in fact, there is no Yang Zongbao in history, and the History of Song records that Yang Wenguang is Yang Yanzhao's son.
After Yang Yanzhao's death, the imperial court hired Yang Wenguang as an official. Yang Wenguang, who came from a family of famous generals, was very talented in the military, was highly valued by Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing, and made many great contributions when he quelled the Nong Zhigao rebellion and fought against the Western Xia Dang Xiang Army. Later, Yang Wenguang also offered advice to break through the Liao to seize the Youyan region, but he died without waiting for the approval of the imperial court.
This is the three generations of famous generals of the Yang family. Since Yang Wenguang, there is no longer a record of the Yang family martial generals in the main history. Although the Yang family has only three generations, they have all made significant contributions to fighting foreign enemies and deserve people's respect.
2. Seed family army
It is said that the Yang family will be full of loyal martyrs, seven wolves and eight tigers out of Youzhou, but they do not know that the seed family Erlang has been in the army for several generations, and dozens of people have died on the battlefield.
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the northwest frontier was repeatedly plundered by the Western Xia. The Seed Family Army stepped forward, guarded the northwest frontier for three generations, and fought with western Xia for a hundred years in the bitter cold land, which made the people of Western Xia feel frightened. In the smoke and dust of the northwest of the iron horse Jingo, the blood of countless soldiers of the Seed Family Army stained the yellow sand, and they could sing and cry.
The founder of the Seed Family Army was the famous general Zhong Shiheng, who was on a par with Di Qing. A native of Luoyang, Henan, Zhong Shiheng was brave and good at war, and resourceful, and was promoted by Fan Zhongyan to lead the northwest military affairs. Recruiting the Qiang people, resisting the Western Xia, building a city and an edge, and skillfully using a divisive plan to remove the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao's confidants Ye Li Ganglangling and Ye Li Yu Beggar brothers, Zhong Shiheng built a barrier for the northwest and ensured the peace of the northwest.
The Yang family will not have seven langs and eight tigers, and the seed family army really has. He had eight sons, namely Seed Curse, Seed Diagnosis, Seed Counselor, Seed Wing, Seed Counselor, Seed House, Seed Record, and Seed Friendship, all of whom served in the army. Among them, the achievements of planting, diagnosing, and planting are outstanding, and the people of Guanzhong call them "three kinds", and the people of Guanzhong are also praised by the people as "winning friendship, winning 200,000 elite soldiers." ”
The second generation of the breeders has fought countless battles. Seed Andi attacked the Qiang people in Huanzhou, and the Seed Family army forced the Western Xia general TomingShan to attack the Western Xia, attacked the Western Xia, and the Seed Family Army supported a piece of heaven in the west.
After the second generation of the seed family army has aged, the third generation has grown up. The third generation of the seed family is mainly based on the three people of the seed master Dao, the seed master Zhong, and the seed master, and the seed master Dao is the most famous.
In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the enemy was not only the Western Xia, but also the Jin Dynasty. Seed Master Dao not only had a military merit in fighting against the Western Xia, but he also participated in the conquest of the Liao State against the Jin army. If Emperor Qinzong of Song had heeded the advice of the Seed World Dao, the Song Dynasty would not have been defeated so miserably, but the Seed World Road had already died when the city of Bieliang was destroyed. The younger brother of Seed Master Dao was also a famous general of the Breed Division, who had long guarded the northwest, and when the Jin army attacked Tokyo, he led the army to serve the king, and eventually sacrificed his life for the country.
Zhongpu is the son of Zhongchen and a third-generation general of the Zhongjia Army. In the battle with Tubo, Zhongpu encountered an ambush, fought to the death, and finally died in battle, and the war horse returned with the corpse. When it comes to Seed Park, it is impossible not to mention his famous sharpshooter Wang Shunchen. After the death of Zhongpu Zhan, Wang Shunchen fired thousands of arrows in a row, shocking the Qiang horsemen and turning the situation on the battlefield with his own strength.
Three generations of famous generals have been born in the ancestral family, defending the northwest for the Northern Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. They went deep into the desert alone, their blood stained yellow sand, they have been defending the Great Song Dynasty, and eventually all the glory disappeared with the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty.
3. Folding the family army
The Yangmen woman will be fictional, but the old lady She has a real prototype. She Taijun's original surname was Fold, and he was born in the Fuzhou Fold clan and married to Yang Ye. The Folding Family is a true family of famous generals, living in Fuzhou for hundreds of years, father and son brothers, from five generations to defend the north, inner Screen China, outer Yidi.
From the fifth generation to the Northern Song Dynasty, ethnic contradictions in the upper reaches of the Yellow River were sharp and complex, and the political situation was fickle. In this era of turmoil and wolf smoke, the Folding Family rose to the west of the Yellow River, famous generals, and guarded the northwest frontier for nearly three hundred years, full of fame.
The earliest famous family member was the Folding Emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, who was then appointed as "the soldier and horse messenger of the five towns along the river of the Zhenwu Army". The Folding Sect was followed by the Folding Emperor Zuo, the official to the LinZhou Assassination History. These two generations were quite prestigious in the local area, and people competed to join them, laying the foundation for the folding family.
Folded Sizuo was followed by Fold Cong Nguyen, a famous general during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Folding from the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Thursday Dynasties, in that war-torn era, Folding from Ruan led an army to resist the Khitan and defend the border, maintaining the security of the Central Plains.
The Folding Family Army officially began after the Folding Nguyen, and the real fame of the Northwest. The first generation of the Folding Family Army was the Folding Virtue Ande And folded the Wish. These two brothers defended the prefecture and fought against foreign enemies, and made many military achievements. After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Folding Virtue Clan also repeatedly broke the enemy, in view of the geographical location of Fuzhou and the reputation of the Folding Family, the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin promised that the Folding Family could inherit the Fuzhou Zhizhou. Since then, the father and son brothers of the Folding family have successively inherited the prefecture, guarded the northwest frontier, and became famous generals.
The second generation of the Folding family is the son of Folding Dexun and Folding Royal Qing, and he also has a daughter who is the old lady She in the interpretation. The third generation has Folding WeiZheng, Folding Wei Chang, Folding Wei Zhong, the fourth generation has Folding Succession, Folding Ancestor, Folding Inheritance Min, the fifth generation is the most famous with Folding Kexing, the sixth generation has Folding Can Be Adapted, Folding Can Be sought, Folding Can Save, etc., and the seventh generation has Folding Yanye, Folding Yan Quality, Folding Yanwen and so on. These breeding children are all famous generals for a while, fighting on the battlefield, and their blue blood stains the yellow sand. It's just that although folding Yan is "the sound of the house of Zhen Vii, the crown of the folding family", he was born at the wrong time and was repeatedly reviled, and he could not save the Song Dynasty after all.
Compared with the Yang family general and the Yue family general, the folding family is the real famous general family. In that year, Emperor Yuqing went out with an illness, and his mother persuaded him to go home to recuperate, but he said, "The world has received the favor of the country, the border has not been destroyed, and now that the enemy is present, how can I abandon the soldiers and go to my own convenience, dying in the army is the duty of the soldiers, I hope that my mother will not worry, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both!" His staff advised him to repair it, saying that "the ancients were ordered to forget their homes, die in state affairs, and divide them." In the end, they all died for the country, and Folding Letter and others were also killed on the battlefield. These words still sound quite tragic.
For more than 200 years in the hereditary prefecture, generations of folded men have fought on the battlefield. Resisting the Khitan and appeasing the tribes, especially in the long and bitter war with the Western Xia, they followed the generations of predecessors and successors, and their blood spilled on the battlefield. Later generations praised "the hairpin is not replaced, its honor is in the annals of history, and the old is never eons of time".
Among the three famous general families of the Song Dynasty, although the Yang family is the most famous, the battle record is not as good as that of the Folding Family and the Seed Family. Knowing the Yang family general, we must also remember that in the golden iron horse in the wind and sand, the folding family army and the seed family army that have gone forward from generation to generation.
