All these patriotic heroes and heroic deeds are deeply imprinted in Yang Jiajiang's heart, making him a household name. However, these people and events contain too much uncertainty, but even if they are just legends, the world is still full of awe for Yang Jiajiang.
In fact, there did exist a famous military family-Yang in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Song Taizong and Zhao Guangyi once commented: "Use troops to serve the country, beat drums and think about generals. Do your best to fight the enemy, set up a festival, have no admiration, and show your righteousness! "
Seeing this, I believe many people will ask: "If Yang Jiajiang really exists, why didn't you come out to defend your country when the Northern Song Dynasty was about to perish?"
The answer is simple.
This Yang Jiajiang, which existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, is far less legendary and mysterious than later generations thought. Yang Jiajiang in the Northern Song Dynasty lasted only three generations. When the Northern Song Dynasty was about to perish, Yang Jiajiang had already declined, and naturally it was unable to stand up and defend the country.
The only three generations left are Yang Ye, Yang and Yang.
Yang Ye is brave and good at fighting. Yang Ye, a big star in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, has the chivalrous character in Xian Xia's novels since childhood, full of heroism and vigor. Therefore, Yang Ye likes riding and archery since he was a child, and he also likes chasing prey. Yang Ye said: "I will definitely fight for it in the future. I will still chase pheasants and rabbits with eagles and dogs."
Yang Ye successfully realized his dream when he grew up. He was brave and good at fighting. He was quickly reused by the imperial court and was promoted to be the special envoy of our army. Since then, Yang Ye "has repeatedly made meritorious military service, won numerous wars, and was invincible in medium size".
In the third year of Taiping and rejuvenating the country, Song Taizong named it "Ye" and appointed Yang Ye as the representative of the state government, who was also deployed in military forces, and was very kind to Yang Ye. The following year, Emperor Liao led hundreds of Liao troops to attack Yanmenguan, and Yang led thousands of cavalry to detour to the north of Yanmenguan, and raided the Liao army south together with the main force.
In this battle, Song Jun defeated the Liao army, and Yang Ye also killed Liao Xu. Xiao Duh Li captured Li's commander, Ma Ping. This station is called "the Battle of Yanmenguan" in history.
After the Yanmenguan War, Yang Ye became famous. Not only did he get promoted, but even the Khitans saw the banner of Yang Ye and were afraid to avoid it.
In this regard, Yang Ye was regarded as the most powerful enemy by the Liao State, and it was decided that in future wars, the military affairs of the Liao State must capture Yang Ye alive. Later, when the Liao army declared war on each other again, Liao would consult with the lieutenant and set an ambush.
Yang Ye and others were accidentally ambushed. As Song Jun was losing ground, Yang Ye knew this stop and was afraid of losing it. With more than ten injuries, Yang Ye led several soldiers to fight bravely, trying to break through the tight encirclement. But without reinforcements, Song Jun will surely fail.
Unwilling to be captured, Yang Ye fasted for three days and died, and then Yang Yanyu died with his father.
Yang Ye is the most famous, brave and famous soldier in Yang Jiajiang.
Yang is a representative of the second generation, and he has a fatherly style of managing troops and protecting bases. When Yang grew up, his taciturn personality and his love for military games were similar to those of his father Yang Ye. Yang Ye once said, "This son is the most like me."
When Yang grew up, Yang Ye took this son with him almost every time he fought, and Yang lived up to expectations. He fought bravely on the battlefield again and again, and never flinched even though he was seriously injured.
After his father, Yang Ye, died, Yang "changed to learn from the instrument and moved to protect the state, so he was added as the Beijing ambassador".
Since then, Yang has defeated the Liao army many times. After a great defeat, Yang captured the leader of the Liao army and presented his head to the court. So Yang was promoted to ambassador to our state. Very satisfied with Yang:
"Heir and Zhao Yan, and play hydrophobic, brave and self-improvement. There are many jealous people in the DPRK, and I am trying to protect it, and here it is. "
In 10 14, Yang died at the age of 57.
Yang is the representative of the third generation of collective leadership. He is a patriot. By Yang's generation, it has begun to decline, but Yang also regrets that he has not achieved outstanding achievements like his grandfather Yang Ye and his father Yang.
Even so, as Yang's son, Yang still has such a pure heart to serve the country, and always takes pacifying the north and recovering the secluded swallow as his ideal.
It turns out that Yang is just a nobody. Fan Zhongyan discovered Yang's talent and took him there. Yang was born in the family, and he also took part in the fight against thieves, so he promoted Yang as the defense envoy of Xingzhou and the deputy governor of Qin Wei.
At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty court had successfully negotiated peace with Liao State, and there was no war between the two countries.
No matter how ambitious Yang is, he can't resist the reality of gradual decline and corruption in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the Song Dynasty had begun to emphasize literature over martial arts, and the status of military commanders was far less than before.
There is another reason. At that time, the Song Dynasty did not create and appoint talents. To put it simply, there are talents in front, and the Song Dynasty court may not use them. 1074, after nearly 30 years of negotiation, Liao country is ready to move again. In order to continue the so-called "peace", the court in the Northern Song Dynasty did not hesitate to add "100,000 pieces of silver and 100,000 pieces of silk" just for another 30 years of "peace".
