Today we talk about a regime that divided the two regions during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period- the Southern Han Dynasty. It is said that since the end of the regime established by those ethnic minorities during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, other dynasties, not to mention their skills, can be regarded as qualified at least in terms of the etiquette of the imperial family. However, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was an outlier, and he was what we want to talk about today, the Southern Han Regime.
If you have to use any words to describe him, then the Southern Han regime is a Laipi snake entrenched in the Lingnan region, and it is not too much to say that he has sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet, from the founding emperor to the emperor of the subjugated country, all of them are tyrants.
So the reason why the emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty became this ghost was because of family inheritance, or because there were other unknown reasons? How could such an intolerable family be able to divide the Lingnan region for fifty years?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > Lingnan is very special</h1>
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's control over other places has declined accordingly, but he has three money bags in his hands to support it, surviving for more than 150 years.
The first money bag was the Sichuan region, known as the kingdom of Tianfu, which was the self-reserved place of the Central Government of the Tang Dynasty, and whenever Chang'an City was breached, the First Reaction of the Tang Emperor was to run to Sichuan to take refuge.
The second is the Jianghuai region, because the Anshi Rebellion led to the relocation of a large number of refugees to the south, the Jianghuai region was greatly developed, and due to the blessing of misfortune, it became the largest money bag of the Tang Dynasty.
The last area is the Lingnan region we want to talk about today, the reason why it became the money bag of the Tang Dynasty was not because of its developed agriculture, but because the port of Guangzhou was the international trade metropolis at that time, and the flow of oil that just ate the trade dividend was fat.
These three places were so important that they became the places with the strongest control of the central government of the Tang Dynasty, and the local people's sense of identification with the Tang Dynasty was far higher than that of other places.
However, the Huangchao uprising ravaged both money bags except for the Sichuan region. The local ruling order of the Tang Dynasty was severely damaged, which also gave the heroes of the chaotic world an opportunity to take advantage.

The founder of the Southern Han Dynasty, the Lao Liu family, is different from the grassy heroes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms who rose up between the end of the world, and their family made their fortune by doing international trade in the Lingnan region. The founder of the dynasty was called Liu Yin, the fengzhou assassin of the Tang dynasty government.
History: Liu Yin, his ancestor AnRen, Shangcai Ren, Hou Migration Minzhong, Shangjia Nanhai, Injia Yan. Father Qian, for Guangzhou Dental General. In the fifth year of Tang Qianfu, Huang Chao attacked Guangzhou, went to Liuhu Lake and Xiangjian, and Guangzhou's cousin Qianfeng Prefecture Assassin Shi and He Jiang Zhen were suppressed, and Yuwu and Gui were west. Over the years, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 100 warships.
Liu Yin is a normal person. His son was named Liu Yan. Also known as Liu Gong. It means a flying dragon in the sky. This person, the first half of his life was wise and martial, and the second half of his life was cruel and tyrannical, so it can be seen that he is definitely not crazy because of the problem of some family genetics. In the first half of his life, he followed his father to expand the territory and quell the rebellions in various places, which showed that this person was definitely not an incompetent person.
But the second half of this man's life, especially from the time he became emperor, became incomprehensible.
History: Sexual wisdom and harshness, for the sword saw, branching, cutting the punishment, every time you look at the killing, it is not happy, do not feel the appetite, covet it, people think it is a real mirage. It was a good luxury, gathering the treasures of the South China Sea, thinking that it was the Jade Hall Pearl Hall.
Translated, it means that he likes to punish people with various punishments, and he also drools while watching, and people give him the nickname True Mirage. This is the founding emperor!
After his death, several sons mingled, and the final victorious son was called Liu Sheng, who continued to carry forward his father's traditional talent in punishment, even more than that, and was sent to hell.
History: Often drunk at night, he placed shangyu Louxiang with a melon, drew his sword and beheaded him to test the sword, because he beheaded him. Tomorrow when the wine wakes up, he summons Yulou to serve a drink, and the left and right whites have been killed, and Sheng sighs.
However, the strange thing is that this person, like his father, cannot be said to be completely a dimwitted king, because just when the five-horse dispute occurred in the old Ma family next door, he was actually able to take advantage of the fire and robbery, rob the land of the ten states in hunan region, and also defeated the overlord of Jiangnan at that time, Li Jing. It should be known that the separatist regimes in the southern region generally do not have any enterprising spirit, and it is already their biggest dream to protect the border and the people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="21" > the source of tyranny? </h1>
Now let's explain what causes the coexistence of wisdom and cruelty between the father and son of the Liu family. In fact, the problem lies in their family's founding of the country and the emperor, the first generation of entrepreneur Liu Yin was still the Jing Navy Festival Envoy, the King of the South China Sea, that is, the establishment personnel under the name of the Tang Government. So we will find that Liu Yin is normal and not crazy.
Trouble happened, after Liu Yan became emperor in 917 AD, it was necessary to completely draw a line with the Tang Dynasty. The Lingnan region is not only as simple as the money bag of the Tang Dynasty, but also a place of political exile, and many people here are the descendants of the top officials of the Tang Dynasty and the top officials, most of whom are the descendants of the family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The Liu family is something, when a Quiet Navy emissary, call you a lord is okay, but now you are a merchant from a family of Arab blood, let us kowtow to you and shout long live, that is absolutely impossible.
History: The hidden father and son started to seal the state, suffered many deaths, and the number contributed to Lingnan, so there was the South China Sea. Hide the good Magi. At that time, the world was in chaos, and the Chinese pilgrims were the farthest outside the ridge, so they could avoid the land and swim more. Those who died in the south by famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty often had children and grandchildren, or those who were unable to return the eunuchs at that time. Wang Dingbao, Ni Shu, Liu Jun, Li Heng, Zhou Jie, Yang Dongqian, and Zhao Guangyi were all courteous. Inspector DingBaorong, Dr. Tang Taixue of Shu, son of Jun Chongwang, to avoid chaos; Heng Deyu's grandson, Tang Right, made up for the gap in order to serve the envoys. All set up a shogunate for guests. Jie Shan Ephemeris, Tang Sinong Shaoqing.
History: Guangyin thought of himself as a Tang Jia clan, a disgraceful puppet country, and often thought of returning home. In the second year, in the southern suburbs of Qitian, the amnesty was in the territory, and the name of the country was changed to Han. At first, he wanted to be arrogant, but the king dingbao did not obey, and sent dingbao to jingnan.
This is why their family suddenly went crazy, in the absence of a sense of identity within the ruling clique, since they cannot convince people with virtue, they can only convince people with force. I'm fierce and perverted, don't mess with me. This mode of rule developed to the end, and the emperor completely lost trust in the court ministers, and had to turn them all into eunuchs to be assured, and the twenty-four histories were only one example.
History: It is said that the courtiers all have their own families, take care of their children and grandchildren, and cannot be loyal, but the eunuchs are close to them, so they entrust their government to the eunuchs Gong Chengshu, Chen Yanshou, and so on, and those who want to use them are castrated and then used.
In the end, when the country is destroyed, no one comes out to resist it. How pathetic!
