1. Which historical period was Nanhan?
In history, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was not a direct step into the Song Dynasty, but a chaotic period lasting for decades, which was called "Five Dynasties and Ten Countries" by history. "Five Dynasties" refer to Hou Liang, the later Tang Dynasty, the later Jin Dynasty, the later Han Dynasty and the later Zhou Dynasty; The "Ten Kingdoms" refer to pre-Shu, post-Shu, Nanwu (also known as Yangwu), Nantang, wuyue, Min, Nanchu (also known as Machu), Nanhan, Nanping (also known as Jingnan) and Northern Han. Southern Han Dynasty is just one of the "Five Dynasties and Ten Countries", or local government is more appropriate.
2. Introduction to Nanhan:
9 17, Liu? In Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong), the South Han Kingdom was established, and Guangzhou was changed to Xing Wang Fu. Liu? As the great-grandfather of the Southern Han Dynasty, he was called the great-grandfather of the Southern Han Dynasty in history. Liu? His brother Liu Yin, his father Liu Qian and his grandfather Liu Ren 'an were named the ancestors of the Han Dynasty respectively.
3. Liu Qian, a businessman's family, became a Guangzhou tooth general:
Liu Qian was born in Shangcai, Huainan West Road (now Henan) in the late Tang Dynasty. Liu Qian's father, An, is a businessman, and his family moved to Jiangnan East Road (now Fujian) near Lingnan East Road, which means that the Liu family is a businessman's home. Liu Qian joined the army at a young age. Although he was soon promoted to Guangzhou, his official position was not high. (Liu Qian may have started as a dental school among dental generals, but later he was promoted to dental generals all the way. )
During this period, our envoys in the Tang Dynasty specially organized an army to protect the city and make teeth, called the Tooth Army, and the general in charge of this army was called the Tooth General. At present, the tooth army is equivalent to the modern military guard brigade (military guard division), and the tooth general is equivalent to the military guard brigade commander (military guard commander).
In addition, in ancient times, there were five commanders, ten leaders, hundreds of centurions, five hundred small commanders, one thousand big commanders, three thousand positive generals and five thousand positive generals. Therefore, Liu Qian was appointed as the chief captain of Guangzhou Dental College, which is equivalent to a platoon leader leading a modern guard division brigade.
4. Liu Qian married the niece of Lingnan our time;
In the third year of Xian Tong, Tang Yizong (AD 862), Wei Zhou (later promoted to Prime Minister of TongZhongshu) became our Lingnan Road Ambassador. After Wei Zhou was appointed as our envoy to Lingnan Road, his family moved to Lingnan. At that time, Wei Zhou saw that his master Liu Qian was handsome and extraordinary, so he married his niece and went south with him.
Zhou Wei once said, "This man is very mobile, and his descendants may follow him." Thus, Liu Qian was able to rely on the big tree of Wei Zhou because he was appointed by Lingnan Road. First, Liu Qian's own image and ability are really good. Second, I want to find a way out for the Wei family, but I want to make an early bet.
5. Liu Qian was awarded the state secretariat for killing the rest of Huang Chao's exploits:
The real success of Liu Qian was that he suppressed and killed Huang Chao and his gang, and was named the secretariat of Lingnan East Road. At that time, I shouted, "Stay in Qiu Lai on September 8th, and I will kill all the flowers when they bloom. Huang Chao, the great thief, came to the south with the fragrant array of Chang 'an and the golden flowers of the city. Huang Chao and his men met a plague in the south. Although they broke through Guangzhou, the situation was not good. "The History of the New Five Dynasties, the Fifth Family in Southern Han Dynasty" records: "In the fifth year of Tang Ganfu, Huang Chao attacked Guangzhou and went to Luhu and Xiangjian", "Guangzhou was self-effacing to seal the state secretariat, and Hejiang Town only sent its envoy to western Guangxi." At this time, after the invasion of Guangzhou, Huang Chao did not take Guangzhou as its base, but left Guangzhou and continued to plunder the area of Hunan and Hubei (now Hunan).
Liu Qian took the initiative to ask the army to attack, defend and suppress the remnants of Huang Chao. At this time, Guangzhou also went to the imperial court and invited Liu Qian to seal the state secretariat and Hejiang Town as the host of Lingnan, in case Huang Chao and his men attacked Guangzhou and Guangxi again. Liu Qian lived up to expectations and defended the plunder and attack of the rest of Huang Chao on the host in Lingnan, which achieved good results and dealt a great blow to the thief Huang Chao.
The rest of Huang Chao was later plundered, and by going south, Liu Qian also obtained a sealed state secretariat and restricted the position of Hejiang Town. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yizhou's position as a secretariat was relatively lofty, and he was also a relatively large local official, which was better than the original general. Of course, Liu Qian, as the nephew of Wei Zhou, our special envoy for Lingnan Road, must have made a lot of efforts in this respect. According to "Zi Tong Zhi Jian", "In June of the third year of Zhonghe (883), Qian made great contributions to cracking down on thieves, making them ugly."
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was good that Liu Qian was able to rule a country. Although it is far from the land of our time, the land of a country is not small, and it has always been the object of all our times.
6. Liu Qian's hard work in Fengzhou:
In the second year of Tang Xizong Zhonghe (AD 882), Liu Qian was appointed as the secretariat of Fengzhou, the host city of Lingnan, and concurrently served as the governor of Hejiang Town. What is a "restraint ambassador"? The town governor in the Tang Dynasty, also known as the town envoy, was the chief officer of the military town below the Tang Dynasty and was in charge of the defense work of a military town. "The History of the New Five Dynasties, the Fifth Family of Southern Han Dynasty" records: "Guangzhou Biao Qian sealed the secretariat of the state and stopped the envoy of Hejiang Town to defend the Taoist and western Guangxi. /kloc-over 0/0 years old, there are 10,000 soldiers and more than 100 warships. "
It can also be seen that when Liu Qian was appointed as the secretariat of Fengzhou and the governor of Hejiang Town, his family was quite rich. In history, a country has tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of warships, and Liu Qian has enough capital to compete with an ordinary era. At the same time, Liu Qian worked hard to make a living in Fengzhou, which made his Fengzhou strength stronger and stronger. "Liu Chuan, a Book of the New Tang Dynasty" records: "Take refuge in exile, love to use sound and raise foot soldiers. A few days later, there were 10,000 elite soldiers and many warships, and the territory was awesome. "
Ending words:
It can be said that the appointment of the secretariat of Lingnan East Road has created a huge legacy of the Liu family, which can be rich in prosperity and enough to protect itself in troubled times. At the same time, Liu Qian also laid the foundation for his son Liu Yin's later Southern Han regime.
