The Yang family general, a famous military family in the Northern Song Dynasty, was known for his bravery and good war, and the whole family, including women, and even the fire burners could lead soldiers to fight. However, this is obviously too illusory, because the real Yang family generals in history only have men who basically really exist, and the female generals of the Yang family do not exist in history except She Taijun.
First, the real Yang family general in history
The real Generals of the Yang family in history were Yang Ye and his seven sons: Yang Yanyu, Yang Yanpu, Yang Yanxun, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanggui, Yang Yanggui, and Yang Yanbin, and Yang Yanzhao's three sons: Yang Chuanyong, Yang Dezheng, and Yang Wenguang, who also followed their father to guard the border, and the Liao state was very much in awe of their family. As for the Female General of YangMen, Fan Lihua, Yang Paifeng, etc., they are all fictional characters, in order to praise the characters added by the Yang family.
1, the Yang family will be the soul of the character: Yang Ye
Speaking of General Yang Jia, the leading figure is naturally Yang Ye, who did have his own person in history, a real national hero, but unfortunately he finally died of hunger strike for three days under the siege of the Liao army. Yang Ye was a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, resisting the Liao for more than twenty years, and after returning to the Song Dynasty, he resisted the Liao for eight years for the Song Dynasty, so Yelü Xieyun once "accused" Yang Ye and the Liao of "winning the corner for more than thirty years".
2. The cornerstone of the Yang family: Yang Ye's seven sons
The real Yang family in history will be similar to those described in the novel, and the history records that Yang Ye had seven sons: Yang Yanyu, Yang Yanpu, Yang Yanxun, Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanggui, and Yang Yanbin. After the death of Yang Ye and Yang Yanyu, the imperial court appointed his son Yang Yanzhao as Chongyi's deputy envoy, Yang Yanpu and Yang Yanxun as worship officials, and Yang Yang, Yang Yangui, and Yang Yanbin as Dian Zhi (northern Song Dynasty military attaches totaled fifty-three ranks, and Dian Zhi was about the forty-ninth rank).
3. Representative figure of the Yang family: Yang Yanzhao
Among Yang Ye and his seven sons, Yang Ye and his eldest son Yang Yanyu died in battle, and Yang Yanzhao was famous, Yanpu, Yanxun, Yangui, Yangui, and Yanbin: the history of his deeds is unknown. Yang Yanzhao guarded the border for more than twenty years, the Liao people were very much in awe of him, the Liao people were very superstitious, believing that among the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky, the sixth star was dedicated to the Liao state, because Yang Yanzhao was very intimidating to the Liao people, and the Liao people thought that he was the reincarnation of the sixth star.
Yang Yanzhao's period was the period when the Northern Song Dynasty was defending the Liao State, and he fought to defend the border defense of the Song Dynasty, won the love of the people, and continued the prestige of the Yang family general. Because of the superstitions of the Liao people, in the legends of the Yang family generals in the past, it is believed that Yang Yanzhao is the sixth son of Yang Ye, so he is called Yang Liulang. However, according to history, Yang Yanzhao should be the eldest son.
