From ancient times to the present, there is no shortage of legendary stories of "Phoenix Nirvana" in history, and Qian Bi's life is undoubtedly one of the thrilling ones. Imagine that a newborn baby was almost thrown into a deep well by his father because of his "bad omen", if it were not for the kindness of his grandmother, how could there be a later founding hero? How did this baby grow from an abandoned young son to a hegemon of the revitalization side? What twists and turns and legends are hidden in his life? Let us walk into the world of Qian Biao together and uncover his extraordinary journey from having nothing to being in power.
Speaking of Qian Biao, many people may not be familiar with it, but his story can definitely make you feel what is called the flip of fate. On March 10, 852, the future founding monarch was born in a small mountain village in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. At that time, his family was just an ordinary fisherman, and the living conditions were far inferior to those of today's urban white-collar workers.
When Qian Biao was born, an unusual red light appeared in the house, which should be an auspicious omen, but his father Qian Kuan was frightened by this sudden vision. He thought it was a bad omen and wanted to throw the newborn Qian Biao into the well in the backyard. Fortunately, Qian Biao's grandmother prevented the tragedy in time, and she resolutely did not allow this to happen, and finally left Qian Biao's life. To commemorate this event, the well was later named "Poliu Well".
Although he survived, Qian Biao's childhood was not easy. He grew up in the mountains and rivers of his hometown, and since he was a child, he has shown extraordinary courage and extraordinary martial arts. For a fisherman's child, these skills were originally used for self-protection and fishing, but Qian Biao had greater ambitions.
As he grew older, Qian Biao began to realize that it was difficult to change his fate by fishing alone. He began to work his way through the market, and finally, at the age of sixteen, he decided to take a different path – to start a salt business. At a time when salt was a valuable commodity, the smugglers were extremely risky but equally lucrative. Not only did he have to face the government's crackdown, but he also had to be careful of robbers and bandits on the road.
But these difficulties did not make Qian Biao flinch, but made him more and more courageous. In the process, he not only honed his communication skills and survival skills, but also made friends with a group of righteous men and heroes, which laid a solid foundation for his later adventures.
In 889, the political situation in the southeast was turbulent, and Qian Biao saw the opportunity and resolutely joined Dong Chang's army. With his extraordinary martial arts and military talents, he quickly stood out in the ranks. Although Dong Chang's fate was not good in the end, Qian Biao accumulated valuable combat experience and network resources.
The turning point came in 904, the year in which Qian Biao decided to go independent and establish his own power. With his extraordinary wisdom and the contacts he has accumulated before, he is unique in the chaotic rivers and lakes. He first established himself locally, then gradually expanded his power, eventually building a powerful army in Zhejiang.
Qian Biao was not satisfied with being the hegemon of one side, and his goal was to establish a stable and prosperous regime. To this end, he adopted a series of reforms, including reorganizing taxes, improving law and order, encouraging agricultural development, and promoting commercial prosperity. These policies not only led to the rapid development of the economy of his domain, but also won the broad support of the people.
Qian Biao's political wisdom is also reflected in foreign relations. He has shown extremely high diplomatic skills in his negotiations with neighboring forces, and has been able to toughly safeguard his own interests and cooperate with other forces in a timely manner, thus ensuring the security and development of his own forces.
It was these successful policies and tactics that enabled Qian Biao to finally establish himself as king in 910, establishing a powerful regime that was later revered as the "Founding King". His success is not only a personal honor, but also an inspiration to those who are not favored. He grew from a baby who was almost abandoned by his father to the head of a country, and his life can be described as a legend.
Under the rule of Qian Biao, the country he established was not only militarily strong and economically prosperous, but more importantly, he paid attention to the development of culture and advocated education, so that the culture of his territory flourished and talents were produced. Such achievements are undoubtedly a testament to his vision and leadership.
Qian Biao, who lives in the rivers and lakes, also knows that as the king of a country, he has a great responsibility. He is always vigilant that he cannot let power blind him, and always maintains his concern for the people and a sense of responsibility for the country. During his reign, he worked hard to improve the people's living standards, reduce taxes, severely punish corruption, and strive to ensure long-term peace and stability in the country.
