The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1235 The Disaster of the Southern Han Dynasty Begins

Li Yu can't make a decision here. A country in the south of the Tang Dynasty is also in trouble. The country's name is Han, and it was called Southern Han in history. They don't know that their country is about to be in trouble.

The location of the Southern Han Dynasty is located in the present Guangdong, Guangxi provinces and northern Vietnam. Its real founder was Liu Yin.Liu Yin's grandfather, Liu Anren, was a famous businessman. He later went to Nanhai to do business, so he settled down here.Liu Yin's father, Liu Qian, was talented and knowledgeable. Because of his meritorious service in fighting gangs of bandits, he was appointed as the dental general of Guangzhou.Later, he was honored as the governor of Fengzhou and the envoy of Heshui Town as a military officer.12 years in office, very prestigious

, Liu Qian passed away, and Guangzhou officials submitted to the imperial court to appoint Liu Yin to replace Liu Qian as the governor of Fengzhou. It can be regarded as the son inheriting his father's position, but this gave Liu Yin a chance to take off.

And God quickly gave Liu Yin a chance. At this time, Qinghai Jiedu envoy Liu Chonggui passed away and Liu Zhirou went to Guangzhou to serve as Qinghai Jiedu envoy.When Liu Zhirou traveled to Hunan, Guangzhou Ya generals Lu Ju and Tan Hongqi rebelled and defended Guangzhou to resist Liu Zhirou's entry, while Tan Hongqi defended Duanzhou.

Therefore, Liu Zhirou dared not enter the country.Tan Hongqi made friends with Liu Yin and promised to marry his daughter to Liu Yin as his wife.Liu Yin pretended to agree to the marriage, used the marriage as an excuse, buried the soldiers' weapons on the ship, entered Duanzhou at night, beheaded Tan Hongqi, and then attacked Guangzhou by victory, beheaded Lu Ju, and then Liu Yin rectified his army to welcome Liu Zhirou into Guangzhou to preside over the marriage. Jiedushi affairs.

Liu Zhirou went to the imperial court to appoint Liu Yin as the Sima of the marching army.Later, Xu Yanruo replaced Liu Zhirou as Qinghai Jiedu envoy, and the imperial court appointed Liu Yin as Qinghai Jiedu envoy, and entrusted general and political affairs to Liu Yin.In this way, Liu Yin began to control the army.

In the first year of Guanghua (Shaozhou governor Zeng Yan launched an army to attack Guangzhou, Guangzhou general Wang Jue led a battleship to meet Zeng Yan; Liu Yin defeated Zeng Yan's troops as soon as they fought. Shaozhou general Liu Tong reoccupied Zhenyang County, County, Liu Yin led an army crusade and beheaded Liu Tong. Liu Yin's prestige continued to rise.

War is the eternal theme of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Even the calm is temporary. Liu Yin, who had just stabilized, didn't stop to take a breath. Something happened here again.

Lu Guangchou, the governor of Qianzhou, attacked Lingnan and captured Shaozhou. He sent his son Lu Yanchang to garrison and besieged Chaozhou.Liu Yin sent troops to beat Lu Guangchou away, and took advantage of the victory to attack Shaozhou.

Liu Yin's younger brother Liu believed that Lu Yanchang had the aid of the Qianzhou army and could not rush to attack; Liu Yin refused to listen, so he surrounded Shaozhou.Just as the river was surging and the supply of grain and grass couldn't keep up, Lu Guangchou led troops from Qianzhou to rescue Shaozhou; Lu Guangchou's general Tan Quanbo ambushed 1 elite troops in the valley, and challenged them with thin soldiers. Liu Yin's army was defeated in the south of Shaozhou, and Liu Yin fled back to Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is his Liu Yin's base. When he came here, basically no one dared to compete with him. After Liu Yin returned to Guangzhou, he did not forget this failure. The training troops who are not too old hope to avenge their revenge one day.

Liu Yin is not only military minded, but also politically minded. He heard that Zhu Wen is now the most powerful in the Central Plains, so he surrendered to Zhu Wen. Sure enough, Zhu Wen later proclaimed himself emperor and continued to give him promotions.

In the first year of Qianhua, Later Liang Jin granted Liu Yin the title of King of the South China Sea.In March of the same year, Liu Yin's condition was critical, and the imperial court appointed Liu Yin, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, to temporarily take charge of the post-residence affairs.On the third day of March, Liu Yin died of illness at the age of 38, and Liu succeeded him.

In the third year of Zhenming (917), Liu proclaimed himself emperor and established the Dayue regime (later changed the name of the country to Han, known as Southern Han in history). He posthumously named Liu Yin as Emperor Xiang. He considered himself a descendant of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty. So the country was later renamed Han.In this way, the Southern Han Dynasty was established, and the current emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty is Liu Wei.

This buddy Liu Yu is also a relatively awesome person in history. It doesn't mean how high his ability to govern the country is, nor how attractive he is personally, but he created a precedent, that is, officials he trusts All eunuchs, this emperor has personality.

Most of the eunuchs he appointed were incompetent people, and they were good at collecting people's fat and anointing. Could such a country not decline rapidly?

However, what happened this time had nothing to do with Liu Wei, but it did have something to do with his whole Southern Han Dynasty. He thought it was a trivial matter and didn't pay attention to it. It was too late when he paid attention to it.

Isn’t the Southern Han Dynasty close to the sea? There are quite a lot of people here and there, and there are still some people who rob merchant ships that come and go. This, such things are unavoidable, because the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty sometimes themselves Are you doing this kind of thing to get rich?
"Have you found out the origin of those ships?" The person who spoke was a man wearing a yellow robe, with a slightly fat body and a few sparse beards.

"Your Majesty, we have confirmed that those ships are most likely ships from the Northern Song State, with the flag of the Song Dynasty on them, and there are many things we have not seen. Those who resisted were killed. Our treasury This time it is full again, which is a huge fortune."

This person should be an eunuch, because his voice is high-pitched, and his face is white and beardless. The person opposite him is the king of a country. The Southern Han Dynasty changed the land to Liu Yan. They were discussing a major event. They just intercepted A batch of cargo killed everything on board.

But there is a problem, that is, this ship is not one, but five or six ships, with the flag of the Song Dynasty on it, Liu Wei panicked when he heard that, the Song State in the north is a big country, but he can't afford it!

"Are you sure that no one is left alive, otherwise we will be in trouble, and I will have no choice but who are you idiots who let you rob these ships? You can't see so many ships, definitely not Ordinary people, you actually caused me such a trouble."

Liu Yu was also scared at this time, they had already seized these ships, and all the people on board were killed, but who can guarantee that there will be no survivors?

If there is such a person who survives to return to the Song Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty will be unlucky. Liu Wei thinks so, and he is also worried that the belongings of these ships will not make him feel excited. At this time, what he cares about is No one escaped from the boat.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. There are more than 2000 people on board. We will kill them all. We guarantee that no one will be left alive. This is done by our army. It is guaranteed that no one will notice. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The eunuch on the opposite side is called Wang Xiangfang, who is also Liu Yu's confidant. They use the army to rob, kill people and seize goods. They are very familiar with this job. More than 2000 people were killed by them in this way, for the money to wear.

These cargo ships were merchants and soldiers who had returned from Da Song's sea trip for several years. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed as soon as they arrived at the coast. It was really miserable.
