The only dynasty in history named after the emperor with 1000 ducks!

author:Violent Talk History

There was a domineering founding emperor who established the only dynasty in Chinese history to be named after his own surname. This person is Chen Baxian, Emperor Chen Wudi of the Southern Dynasty.

Chen Ba was first a child of a poor family, with a bold personality when he was young, liked to read military books, and practiced martial arts, so everyone recommended him to be a lisi (equivalent to the current village official), and later went to Jiankang to become a small official in charge of the oil depot. During this period, Chen Ba first met the first nobleman in his life - Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying was the nephew of Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liangwu, and as a royal son, Xiao Ying valued Chen Baxian very much and kept him by his side as a herald. It was the acquaintance with Xiao Ying that made Chen Baxian's life change dramatically.

Later, the boss Xiao Ying went to be a assassin in Guangzhou, which at that time was very large, not only including today's Guangdong Guangxi, but also part of Guizhou, Yunnan, and even extended land to northern Vietnam, and Chen Ba, who was 37 years old at the time, followed to join the army. At this time, Li Ban of Jiaozhou rebelled, and Wudi Xiao Yan sent Lu Zixiong to suppress the rebellion, but was beaten to ashes.

Emperor Wu was very angry when he heard the news, he felt that Lu Zixiong was collaborating with the enemy, and he directly killed Lu Zixiong in a fit of anger. The brothers under Lu Zixiong looked at it, this old emperor is also too unreasonable, and no one is allowed to defeat the battle? As soon as they did not do anything, they simply reversed and directly surrounded the city of Guangzhou. At that time, Xiao Ying was still in Guangzhou City, so he quickly asked his younger brother Chen Ba to come to fire support first. As soon as Chen Ba heard that the boss was in trouble, he immediately ordered 3,000 elite soldiers, and rushed to Guangzhou with a horsewhip overnight. This time, he not only broke up the besieging rebels, captured the rebels' deputy generals alive, but also rescued the boss Xiao Ying.

When Xiao Yan, Emperor Wudi of Liang, heard the news, he remembered the name of Chen Baxian, and since then, Chen Baxian has been ranked on the side of Emperor Wudi of Liang. At that time, Jiaozhou was still in chaos, and Emperor Liang Wudi swept around and found that there was no suitable person. Well, let Chen Ba try it first. Chen Ba, who received the emperor's order, went first, and this time it was three years. He not only destroyed Li Ben, but also recovered Jiaozhou by the way. Emperor Wudi of Liang was very happy in his heart, and hung his portrait on the court to admire, and regarded him as Lingnan Optimus Prime, which was very important to him. Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu became the second noble man in his life, and Chen Baxianwen Tao, who was appreciated by Emperor Liang Wu, broke out in full force, but he was bold and bold, and he dared to take any difficult battle, so the victory battles became more and more, and the officials became bigger and bigger.

At this time, the Hou Jing Rebellion occurred, and Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liang Wu, who ate the Buddha, was starved to death by Hou Jing. Chen Baxian, who was still serving as a supervisor in Xijiang (in present-day Cangwu County, Guangxi), heard the news and immediately rushed to Jiankang to rescue him. At that time, Hou Jing's forces were very strong, and many people felt that Chen Baxian wanted to fight with Hou Jing with this little soldier and horse, and he simply hit the stone with a pebble.

Someone advised Chen Baxian not to be impulsive, and Chen Baxian let out a long sigh and said: "I was originally a mediocre person, and the emperor's grace made me where I am today." When I knew that Hou Jing crossed the river to fight, I was ready to rush back to the rescue, who knew that there were many troubles on the way, which has been delayed to this day. Now that the country is broken and the monarch has died, since the ancient monarch has humiliated his subjects, how dare I care about my own life? I have an iron heart, and I will definitely fight to the end with this old thief Hou Jing! ”

And just as Chen Baxian was approaching Jiankang with his brothers, his future sons and daughters, Wang Sengwei, were also running all the way towards Jiankang.

Wang Sengwei was born in Northern Wei, where his father was an official at the time, and he can be said to be the second generation of officials. When he was a child, he was influenced by his father and studied the Confucian classic "Zuo Chuan" deeply. After serving as a minor official in Northern Wei for several years, he joined Emperor Wudi of Liang with his father, and helped the imperial court quell the rebellion, and was known as a Confucian general.

Because Chen Baxian was too famous, Wang Sengwen was a little worried, afraid that Chen Baxian would take the opportunity to swallow his little possessions. Unfortunately, Wang Sengwei's troops were short of food and so poor that they couldn't open the pot. When Chen Ba heard the news first, he hurriedly sent his army's 500,000 stone military food to 300,000 stone to his allies, which dispelled Wang Seng's scruples. In the end, the two men worked together to finally quell Hou Jing's rebellion and support the Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi to the throne.

I originally thought that after calming down the chaos in Houjing, it would have to stop for a while. Unexpectedly, the Western Wei regime took advantage of the fire and robbery, and a battle of Jiangling actually killed Xiao Yi, the emperor of Liangyuan. It was also in this battle that Chen Baxian's only son, Chen Chang, was captured by Western Wei and returned as a hostage.

In 553, Wang Sengwen and Chen Baxian jointly welcomed Xiao Yi's 9th son Xiao Fangzhi as emperor, and was known as Emperor Jing of Liang. At that time, Xiao Fangzhi was only 13 years old, so the power of the Liang Dynasty was basically in the hands of Wang Sengwei.

When the Northern Qi regime saw that Southern Liang was so chaotic, it also came to make a scene, knowing that Chen Baxian was not easy to mess with, so it set its eyes on Wang Sengzheng. They sent people to negotiate with Wang Seng, believing that Xiao Fangzhi was too young, and that the Liang Dynasty should appoint Xiao Yuanming, the Marquis of Zhenyang, an older Marquis. By the way, tempting conditions were also thrown, and if Southern Liang agreed to change the emperor, Northern Qi would no longer wage war against the Liang Dynasty.

At first glance, this is a good thing to drop pie in the sky. But in fact, Northern Qi is a weasel to give chickens a New Year greeting with uneasy kindness. Xiao Yuanming, the nephew of Emperor Wudi of Liang, was captured by Northern Qi, and is still imprisoned in the state of Qi. If Xiao Yuanming became emperor, then the Northern Qi soldiers could unify the north and south without bloodshed. If Xiao Yuanming can't become the emperor, it will also cause disputes over the imperial throne, and Northern Qi can sit on the benefits of the fisherman, which is really shrewd.

Wang Sengbian wanted to make friends with Northern Qi, and on the one hand, he also considered his own future, and began to make eye contact with Northern Qi. When Chen Ba, who was stationed in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) heard the news, he could see the ambitions of Northern Qi at a glance. He sent someone to persuade the king monk to argue, and he spoke bitterly for a long time, but the king monk did not listen to the iron heart. Soon, Northern Qi sent Xiao Yuanming back, and the original emperor Xiao Fangzhi was demoted to the rank of crown prince. In this way, the rivers and mountains of Southern Liang were controlled by Northern Qi.

Seeing that the land he had fought in blood was about to be annexed by Southern Qi, how could Chen Baxian endure this breath? He slapped the table: Go back to Jiankang!

On a dark night, he divided his army and approached Jiankang unconsciously. At this time, Wang Sengbian was still dealing with official business, and when he heard the soldier's shout, he just came back to his senses, but he had already been caught, so Chen Ba got rid of Wang Sengzheng first. The next day, the civil and military officials led by Chen Baxian invited Xiao Fangzhi out again, and Xiao Yuanming saw that Wang Sengwen had been killed by Chen Baxian and obediently gave up his position.

When Wang Sengbi's younger brothers heard that the boss had been destroyed, they immediately made a fuss and began to rebel everywhere. The Northern Qi regime, seeing that its wishful calculations had failed, was also actively preparing to launch an attack on Southern Liang. It's really difficult to make a mess inside into a pot of porridge, and a strong enemy outside. Chen Ba took the lead and provoked the beam. He first quelled several rebellions in Southern Liang, and then sent people to burn down nearly 1,000 cargo ships of Northern Qi, snatch back rice with thousands of stones, and beat Northern Qi to beg for mercy one after another.

It is a pity that Northern Qi did not eat and fight, and after a period of rest, it launched a large-scale all-out attack. At that time, the south had entered the rainy season, and the food of the Liang army was not enough, and the soldiers could not eat enough, and their morale was very low. When the common people learned the news, they went out of their homes, made rice out of wheat scraps, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and gave them to the officers and soldiers.

And Chen Baxian's nephew Chen Qian, later Emperor Wendi Chen, sent three thousand stone rice and one thousand fat ducks in the snow. Chen Baxian was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to kill duck steamed rice, and each soldier was given a few pieces of duck meat and a package of rice wrapped in lotus leaves. After filling their stomachs, the soldiers immediately lifted their spirits, fought extra hard, and finally won the victory. This is a rare example in the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in which southern soldiers defeated the Northern Iron Horse, and Chen Baxian turned the tide of the war with a thousand ducks, which cannot but be said to be a miracle in the history of war.

After this war, Chen Baxian's position in Southern Liang was completely consolidated, and he was canonized as the King of Chen. At this time, Chen Baxian is already 55 years old, the years are not spared, and the yellow cauliflower will be cold if you wait for it.

In 557, Emperor Xiao Fangzhi of Liang ascended the throne, and Chen Baxian formally established the Chen Dynasty, known as Emperor Wudi of Chen.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to fight rivers and mountains, but it is difficult to guard rivers and mountains. After Chen Ba first became emperor, he worked conscientiously and adopted a series of policies to restore production and promote Buddhism.

Chen Baxian's rivers and mountains were built by himself, so he had a deep affection for his brothers, not only adding them to the knighthood, but also caring for them on weekdays. In his later years, what saddened him the most was the murder of his good brother Zhou Wenyu.

Xiao Bo was Chen Baxian's old rival, and he was unconvinced that Chen Baxian was the first to be emperor. Chen Ba first asked Zhou Wenyu to educate him, Zhou Wenyu is also a veteran who came over in the bloody storm, but this time he was credulous and died because of the villain Xiong Tanlang. At that time, Chen Baxian was already sick, and when he heard the news that his good brother was killed, he vomited blood and fainted directly.

Due to excessive grief and poor health, 57-year-old Chen Baxian has reached the end of his life. Before he died, he wanted to pass the throne to his son, but his only son Chen Chang was still taking hostage and could not return for a while, so Chen Baxian could only issue an edict to pass the throne to his nephew Chen Qian.

In 559, Chen Qian ascended the throne, known as Emperor Wen of Chen, and under his rule, he created the "Reign of Tianjia" in Southern Chen.
