This animation masterpiece describes the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in an unprecedented way, in which famous historical events and folklore such as Huang Chao Uprising, Zhu Wen usurping the throne, Lee's clan ruling, killing his father, and Shatuo's hegemony run through it.
Draw the historical background of the bad guys in the Jianghu.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was the last large-scale separatist period in China feudal society, and it was also the darkest period in the history of China for thousands of years. Except for a few members of the ruling group, such as Tang, who still made great efforts and worked hard, and made some achievements in the military, all of them embodied the characteristics of fatuity, cruelty, bloodthirsty and heavy collection during the decline of the ruling class in previous dynasties. Some features are not possessed by rulers in the declining period of past dynasties, while others are more prominent than the previous dynasties.
The first prominent feature of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was the frequent usurpation of the throne.
Ouyang Xiu once had a statistic: "In fifty-three years, Yi Wu was named thirteen kings, and eight people died in the country. The elders were only in their teens, or even died at the age of three or four." If you add Zhu Wen's murder of Tang Aidi and the unsuccessful murder of usurping the throne, the number of times will be more.
Zhu Wen, Emperor Taizu of Liang, has a bad temper, and his temper is elusive after a serious illness. He wanted to succeed Wang Youwen, but Gui You, an illegitimate child, advised him to unite with the North Korean army and break into Wanchun Gate in the middle of the night with 500 soldiers and some crane guards. "In the middle of the night, all the sick people will go. Mao exclaimed in horror, "I have long suspected this thief. I hate killing him early. Do you want to kill my father to deal with thieves? Gui You's cronies, Feng Ting, attacked Mao with a sword, and Mao circled around the pillar. The sword struck the column three times, and Taizu was exhausted and waited on the bed. The court made the sword attack his abdomen and his stomach and intestines flowed. "A generation of lean Zhu Wen died of his own son, and Zhu Wen also killed Tang Zhaozong and Tang Aidi. Less than two years after Gui You usurped the throne, Yuan Xiangxian, the grandson of Zhu Wen, and Zhu Youzhen, the late emperor, entered the palace by banning soldiers. Killing Zhu Wen requires killing himself and his wife, and Feng also committed suicide after killing him and his wife.
Zhuang Zong in the late Tang Dynasty won the world by force and died in a coup. Ma Zhi, the commander of Guo, led the soldiers in the territory. "Pull out the blade of Gru, shout outside Xingjiao, and lead the bow and yellow armor to shoot Xingjiao. When the emperor heard about this change, he led the kings to protect him in the palace and drove the mutinous soldiers out. Then they burned the door to promote religion, entered the border town, climbed the palace wall and made trouble. The emperor fought with the pro-army and killed hundreds of mutinous soldiers. Russia and the emperor were in the middle stream and soon died. After the death of a generation of emperors who were quite extraordinary in military affairs, only one actor burned bones with musical instruments. Shi Jingtang and Emperor Min were brothers. First, Shi Jingtang wanted to punish Emperor Min for riding a horse, and then he colluded with Emperor Min to send someone to kill Emperor Min, Queen and their four sons.
Unsuccessful coups are also everywhere. On the evening of April 19th, the second year of Zhenming, Bianzhou made an insurrection and attacked Jianguomen. Emperor Liang went upstairs and refused to fight. Later, General Qiu Yan fought bloody battles and repelled the rebels. In November of the fourth year of Tiancheng, Mingzong was seriously ill in the later Tang Dynasty. Chongrong, the king of Qin, thought that Mingzong had collapsed and was afraid that he could not succeed to the throne, so he led his troops into Sheng Xing Palace to stand up, and his failure was punished.
In order to seize the throne, usurpers often resort to secret funeral plots to remove the opposition. After Zhu killed his father Zhu Wen, he died secretly for 4 days. First hand over the money from the state treasury and reward it to the minister and the army. Then he sent Ding to punish Zhu Youwen, who should have succeeded to the throne, and then called him a "military power" incident, and then offered condolences. In the fourth year of Tiancheng, Ming Zong collapsed in the later Tang Dynasty, and he was secretly mourned for six days before his fifth son, Li Conghou, rushed back to Beijing from other places. Before his death, Emperor Gaozu summoned four ministers, including Su, to guard against Du Zhongwei. After the death of Emperor Gaozu, there was no mourning in the dark. He first sent a letter to kill Du Zhongwei and his three sons, and then sent out mourning.
The second characteristic of the ruling group in the Five Dynasties is that it is more cruel and ferocious than the members of the ruling group in previous dynasties.
In order to usurp the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen killed prime ministers Cui Yin, Jing and Zheng Yuangui in the first year. Two months later, he killed more than 200 children in the inner garden dedicated by Zhao Zongda. When killing these 200 people, Zhu Wen played a conspiracy. "Choose more than two hundred people first, the shape and size are the same as those in the inner garden. Let one person capture two people and trap him in a pit, that is, dress himself. Zhao Zongchu can't tell the difference, but he can be inspected when he enters. Nature is a good person around Zhaozong. " In three years, Zhu Wen killed more than 7,000 people of Wei Ya Army, and none survived. In the early years of Kaiping, Zhu Wen killed 200 Wangs. "Digging the pit on the first side, but telling me that his brother taught, his brother taught and his son's nephew had 200 mouths, and the salt was exhausted."
The Supplement to the History of the Five Dynasties records Zhu Wen's cruelty to imperial soldiers. "Mao yongbing is also fierce. Every time he fights, the coach cuts the rest team by team, which is called' L 'envoi team chop'. Born invincible. However, the athletes fled to counties, and they were tired of hunting. Because they ordered tattoos, athletes began to get tattoos. " Under this cruel rule, what is the way out for the soldiers in Houliang except to fight hard on the battlefield? In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Qixian wrote an article "The Old Story of Luoyang Gentry", including a volume: "Liang Zuchu, also a four-town, was brave and ruthless. He took it as a milk tiger, looked around and ignored its intention, so he killed it at once. As an official, Liang will bid farewell to his family every day and return to congratulate him. "
In the four years of Tongguang, Zhu Jiujiang, Xue, Zhou Tangyin, Yang Shitai, Wang Jing, Lai Ren and Bai were all killed by the imperial clan in the later Tang Dynasty because of their innocence.
Li, the nephew of the later Tang Dynasty, met the envoys of the imperial court at the Inner Court. At the invitation of Mingzong, he drank together, drank too much, went to the imperial couch, and died for Mingzong.
In the third year of Tiancheng, two young children played with bamboo poles and were beheaded by Shi Jingtang.
In the post-Han period, Taibai star met during the day. "Look up, was arrested by founder, broken waist collar. Another drunk went to the first sergeant, and then he abandoned the market with a lie. Other people with broken tongues, broken mouths, cramps and broken feet have only days when they are not free. "
Zhu risked his life for Li Keyong and his son and made great contributions. He became a magistrate and an official, ate 18 thousand households in the city, and gave him iron coupons to forgive his death. But in the first year of Tongguang, Zhuang Zong killed An Youqi for treason. And fined 200 people in his family. The voice of injustice is cold, and tears are everywhere.
Hou Jin kept it simple, saying, "Sex is taboo and suspicious. There are more than ten towns in the calendar, and vertical spines are set in office places for pedestrians to pass. If there is a slight violation of the left and right, that is, flogging or killing, its meaning is unpredictable, and officials all take its side. It is boring and overbearing, and it is the most martial minister. " Zhang Yanze, a general at the end of the Jin Dynasty, died of a broken heart and was amputated. A sergeant captured a man in front of Zhang Yanze, and Yanze didn't ask him what crime he had committed. "But just standing up with one hand and putting it down with the other, the sergeant accepted his intention, that is, to go out and break his waist and collar."
In the first year of Tiancheng in the late Tang Dynasty, An Zhong instructed the Killing Hall to extend to the entrance of Yushitai. Yushitai is an organ for picketing illegal officials. It is extremely evil to dare to kill people at the gate of Yushitai.
In the post-Han Dynasty, Assistant Minister Su and Tong Zhongshu jointly made decisions on state affairs. Su "ruled out his opinions by things, but the Han family can't spend it." Jin Gaozu "tried to send every auspicious day to the prisoners to pray. This is the so-called" quiet prison ". When Ji Feng was in prison, he read the prisoner. It doesn't matter that he was killed, in order to report the peace in the prison. "
In the later Tang Dynasty, Zhen Wu crusaded against the rebel general Zhang, who arrested more than ten people, including his mother, wife and son, and surrendered to Zhen Wu. "No matter the earthquake, the gift is to break his hands and nose", and then released, Sergeant Wu Zhen could not bear to face it. How cruel and cruel this is.
Huzhou secretariat peak, fierce. "Try to call state officials and say,' Do I kill everyone?' The official said,' So, where does the rent come from? When you choose to kill people, you kill your ears. ""Emily later sealed the city and killed thousands of people. Some rulers are cruel to the point of abnormal condition.
Liu Xin, Cai Wang of the later Han Dynasty, liked this cool method. "When you are in charge of the imperial army, there are criminals around you, call his wife, cut them down and let them eat their own meat; Or self-sufficiency, full of blood, life is wine and music, and there is no benevolence. "
Liu Shouguang wanted to be emperor, but his subordinate Sun He dissuaded him. "Continue to be furious, push the axe, and make the sergeant cut the meat and spit it out ... to save his life and suffocate his mouth. I can't bear it." Liu Shouguang: "Every prisoner should put on an iron cage, force him with fire and embarrass him with an iron brush."
In the later Han Dynasty, the usage of Liu Zhu was deeply engraved. "If the people have, ask their year geometry and say it several times, that is, count the number of sticks, which is called' stick in years'. One person has one staff, and there must be two staff, which is called' Acacia Staff' ".
Emperor Gaozu of the Southern Han Dynasty used cruel punishments, including nasal irrigation, tongue cutting, dissection, picking, roasting and steaming. Or gather poisonous snakes in the water and throw them at sinners. This is called a dungeon. These practices, where is the right person can do!
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yicheng made Li Zan drink human blood, and his concubines often "stabbed his arm to suck it, and his servants were too small, or looked at his eyes or burned it with a knife." Wuyue Huse saved Qian Yuan's life, saying, "Being an official in anger will burn in an iron bed and stink all over the city." .
Liu Sheng, king of the Southern Han Dynasty, was afraid that his brothers would compete with their sons for the country, so he killed eight kings, including Wang Qihong Bi, and all his men and took his women to the harem. He went out of the palace 1000 rooms, decorated with jewels, set up iron pot soup, iron bed and gouged out punishment, which was called "born in hell". When he was drunk, he tried to put a melon around the musician's neck with a sword and broke his head. "Tong Jian" commented on him: "Ning is arrogant and not impetuous, not arrogant and not impetuous."
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there were five regimes in the Central Plains and 10 regimes outside the Central Plains, which was the most chaotic period in the history of China, and no one could be unified. Towns under the jurisdiction of every regime are often rebellious. Because the leaders of the 15 separatist regime are all self-respecting warlords, and the leaders of subordinate counties and towns are also small warlords. When these small warlords have a certain influence, they often become kings and refuse to accept the transfer of troops.
