Lin lived in the late Sui Dynasty. Because the rulers are corrupt and incompetent, the world is in chaos. At that time, Jiangxi was called Poyang County.
Like the imperial court, the officials in Poyang County are very corrupt, and the people live a miserable life. Finally, the uprising broke out. At that time, the leader of the rebel army was called Master Cao, and Lin was also in the rebel army, belonging to a leader of the rebel army.
Master Cao led the rebel army to attack Poyang County. Due to the large number of soldiers in the uprising, the Poyang County Garrison quickly couldn't hold back and abandoned the city. After capturing Poyang County, Master Cao led the rebels into the city and ordered the opening of warehouses for disaster relief. Benefiting from master Cao's begging, people joined the rebel army one after another.
Then, Cao Shi asked himself to be king, and led the rebels to capture several counties around Poyang County with great momentum. Just after Cao Shifu led the rebels to capture Zhang Yu County, Cao Shifu took Zhang Yu as his base, and the fire of the uprising spread in all directions. Feeling the crisis, Emperor Yang Di ordered Liu Ziyi, a scholar, to lead his army to Zhang Yu for a crusade.
As the leader of the rebel army, Cao Shi had a habit of begging, that is, every time he led an army to attack the city, he had to take the lead and charge first, which also laid the groundwork for his death.
At that time, when the insurgents confronted Sui Jun led by Liu Ziyi, the fighting was very fierce, because the two sides were evenly matched. In this battle, master Cao was shot dead by disorderly arrows, and the insurgents were once in chaos.
At this time, Lin stood out and replaced Cao as the second person in the rebel army. Under the leadership of Lin, the insurgents successfully defeated and killed. With the victory of this battle, Lin became famous.
You know, most of the uprising forces at that time were in the north, but not many in the south. So he took over the insurgents who had been asking for teachers before, and the scale of the insurgents expanded to 65438+ 10,000 after recruiting.
However, Lin was not satisfied with the status quo, and immediately led 654.38 million troops back to Ganjiang, captured Ganzhou (now Ganzhou) and established his own political power. In 6 16, Lin signed his name in Ganzhou. King of South Vietnam? .
Just behind the forest, claiming to be? King of South Vietnam? And then he thought he couldn't just do it? Wang? Pretend to be, with Ganzhou as its capital? Chu? , began to conferring civil and military officials.
In fact, before Lin proclaimed himself emperor, the rebels had seized a lot of land in the south. However, Lin thought that this did not satisfy his wishes, but further expanded his military. He sent an army to continuously capture Linchuan, Luling, Nankang and Yichun counties. Seeing Lin's growing power, many officials of the Sui Dynasty around him also surrendered to Lin.
When Lin's Chu regime reached its peak, he controlled most of the territory in the south, from Huaihe River to Guangzhou in the north, which was equivalent to one third of that in the south at that time.
However, like many separatist forces in the late Sui Dynasty, Lin proclaimed himself emperor and occupied most of the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Unfortunately, he has not been recognized by history.
