【Tanzhou Ma Yin】
Ma Yin, who has appeared in the previous article, was born in the world-famous "Zhongwu Army", and the story between him and Yang Xingmi can be traced back more than ten years ago.
At that time, Yang Xingmi was just starting out and making his fortune in Luzhou. He took advantage of the civil strife in Huainan (Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan mutinied, and Gao Pian was imprisoned and killed) to occupy Yangzhou. Qin Zongquan of Caizhou provoked the "Huang Qi regime" after Huang Chao's death, claiming to be the second emperor of the "Da Qi Kingdom" and wreaking havoc on the Central Plains. The troops sent to Huainan were led by his younger brother Qin Zongheng. Due to repeated defeats by Zhu Wen, Qin Zongquan was furious and transferred Qin Zongheng's Huainan expeditionary force back to Caizhou to concentrate on dealing with Zhu Wen. Qin Zongheng's general Sun Ru was unwilling to give up Huainan, so he launched a mutiny, killed Qin Zongheng, and continued to fight with Yang Xingmi. Huainan.
Sun Ru used a strong advantage to crush Yang Xingmi, but in the end he fell into Yang Xingmi's "enemy exhaustion strategy" and was defeated and killed. When Sun Ru was killed, his powerful generals Liu Jianfeng, Zhang Ji, Ma Yin and others were collecting military supplies in other places. After hearing the news that their lord was defeated and killed, they gathered the remaining defeated soldiers, a total of about 7,000 people, and fled south. Past.
Everyone recommended Liu Jianfeng as the coach, Ma Yin as the vanguard, and Zhang Ji as the military advisor. They fled all the way, robbed all the way, recruited soldiers and bandits all the way, and by the time they reached Jiangxi, there were already 100,000 people.
Then they moved from Jiangxi to Hunan and attacked Tanzhou (today's Gaoguansha City, Hunan). During this process, Ma Yin showed outstanding performance of both wisdom and courage. He persuaded Jiang Xun, who was guarding Longhui Pass, to surrender, and disguised himself as Jiang Xun's garrison to trick Tanzhou away. City gate, surprise attack on Tanzhou.
After taking Tanzhou, Liu Jianfeng claimed to be a queen and presented himself to the imperial court. The imperial court immediately appointed Liu Jianfeng as the military envoy of Wu'an Army in Tanzhou.
The former Jiedushi who was killed was named Deng Chuna. He had been stationed in Annan with Jiangxi general Min Xu in his early years. During the "Huangchao Rebellion", he returned to Jiangxi from Annan and then occupied the Wu'an Army in Tanzhou. He represented Deng Chuna as Shao. State governor. Four years later, Min Xu was betrayed by his teammates and killed in a single attack. Tanzhou was also occupied by his enemy Zhou Yue.
When Deng Chune heard the news, he cried bitterly and said to his subordinates: "Min Xu was very kind to me, and now he is killed by Zhou Yue. If he does not avenge this revenge, he will not be a human being!" After eight years of sharpening his sword, he finally conquered the Wu'an Army in Tanzhou with the power of one state, killed Zhou Yue, and avenged his old master. Later, he was appointed by the court as the new military commander of the Wu'an Army.
Deng Chuna was in charge of Tanzhou for one year before he was killed by Liu Jianfeng, and the Wu'an army in Tanzhou changed their surname again.
Liu Jianfeng, a young man named Yiying, suddenly became a military governor and entered the circle of vassal towns. He was complacent and did not want to make progress. He indulged in sensuality, and his favorite things were wine and sex. He found that the wife of his subordinate Chen Fan was beautiful, so he took her by force.
The hatred of seizing his wife is irreconcilable. Chen Fan hid a hammer in his sleeve and took Liu Jianfeng off guard and shot him in the head. Subsequently, the generals on the left and right rose up to attack, arrested Chen Fan, and then publicly recommended Zhang Ji as the new coach.
Previously, Jiang Xun, a surrendered general, asked to be appointed governor of Shaozhou, but Liu Jianfeng refused, so Jiang Xun rebelled against Shaozhou. Liu Jianfeng sent Ma Yin to Shaozhou to quell the rebellion. When Liu Jianfeng was assassinated, Ma Yin was still on the front line in Shaozhou.
Zhang Ji is self-aware and knows that Ma Yin will not obey his control. In terms of qualifications, the two are equal; in terms of military merit, Ma Yin is better than him; the key is that Ma Yin is currently fighting outside and has a large number of troops. If he doesn't turn around and kill his lord to seize power, he will have burned the incense.
Zhang Ji firmly resigned from the position of coach and insisted on giving up his talents to Ma Yin. When going out, the horse was unexpectedly frightened and bit Zhang Ji's left leg. So Zhang Ji used the topic and said, "Mr. Ma is our lord." So he sent people to the Shaozhou front line quickly to ask Ma Yin to come back and "assume the throne." ".
After Ma Yin's command, he and his generals first took the master's murderer, Chen Fan, to a busy city and cut him into pieces to avenge his master, and then held a power handover ceremony.
Zhang Ji sat in the hall and first accepted Ma Yin's worship. Then he was helped down the hall and Ma Yin was welcomed to the hall. Zhang Ji then led the generals to kneel down to Ma Yin and swear allegiance. In this way, Ma Yin was officially elected as the post of Liu, reported to the court, and was appointed as the military governor of Wu'an Army in Tanzhou.
Ma Yin was not as dissolute and immoral as his old officer Liu Jianfeng. Instead, he was prepared for danger in times of peace. After taking office, he opened up his voice, accepted advice with an open mind, and found a way out. He asked his counselor Gao Yu, "I plan to spend money to eliminate disasters and bribe the neighbors with large sums of money in order to achieve peace and stability. What do you think?"
Gao Yu shook his head repeatedly and said: "Chengru in Jingnan is weak and incompetent, and is not worthy of concern. Yang Xingmi in Huainan is a feud with us (Sun Ru's remnant). No matter how much money you give him, you can't buy peace. It's better to respect him." The imperial court occupies the moral high ground and uses the emperor's sacred decree to attack the rebels in the surrounding areas. In this way, hegemony can be achieved."
Ma Yin had an epiphany and immediately threw himself into Zhu Wen's arms, conveying his loyalty to the court through Zhu Wen.
Although he nominally controlled the entire Tanzhou Wu'an Army, Ma Yin actually controlled only the city of Tanzhou. After Zhang Ji succeeded him and conquered Shaozhou, there were still five states of Heng, Yong, Dao, Chen, and Lian that were not controlled. . Therefore, Ma Yin's top priority is to obtain the substantial unification of the Tanzhou Wu'an Army.
In less than a year, Ma Yin completed the great cause of unifying the Wu'an army and conquered all seven states.
With the great cause of unification completed, Ma Yin's sphere of influence approached the Jingjiang Army in Guizhou (now Guilin City, Guangxi). His military governor Liu Shizheng sent troops to garrison Quanyiling to prevent Ma Yin's Tanzhou forces from penetrating into Lingnan. Ma Yinze sent an envoy to express to Liu Shizheng his good wishes for establishing peaceful and stable bilateral relations and good neighborliness.
Liu Shizheng: I believe you!
Ma Yin was furious and sent his generals Qin Yanhui (brother of Qin Zongquan) and Li Qiong to lead an army of seven thousand to attack Guizhou.
The defenders of Guizhou forced the people to farm cattle and rewarded the troops, which aroused the resentment of the people and strived to be the leader. Li Qiong only brought 300 infantry and 60 cavalry. Under the guidance of the leading party, he took a small road and made a surprise attack on the enemy. Finally, he defeated the Guizhou army in one fell swoop. Liu Shizheng was forced to surrender, and the Guizhou Jingjiang army was annexed by Ma Yin, creating a " The myth of "seven thousand Hunan troops defeated Guangxi". Subsequently, Ma Yinxian appointed Li Qiong as the governor of Guizhou, and then as the governor of Guizhou Jingjiang Army.
At this point, the remnants of the bereaved dogs and Sun Ru were defeated with only a few thousand remnants, and moved to Jiangxi, Hunan and other places. In just eight years, they occupied two towns and twelve states, and became a military force that cannot be underestimated in Hunan. As a political entity, under the planning of counselor Gao Yu, Ma Yin externally respected the Tang Dynasty and relied on the powerful vassal Zhu Wen, while internally he implemented a series of economic reforms to improve the quality of life of the people.
When describing Sun Ru in the previous article, it can almost be summarized as cruelty and cruelty. He burned, killed, raped, looted, and committed all kinds of evil in the places he passed. Among them, the burning of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the burning of Yangzhou were recorded in the annals of history forever and will be infamy for thousands of years. I left a note at that time, saying that even for such a wicked person, some people built temples and shrines for him. Now, the answer to the mystery can be revealed, this person is Ma Yin.
Because Ma Yin is Sun Ru's old tribe, he followed Sun Ru and broke away from the Qin clan, attacked Yangzhou and became independent. Therefore, Sun Ru is the foundation of Ma Yin's legal system, the founder and entrepreneurial soul of the Mayin Group, and praising Sun Ru is the political power of the Mayin Group. correct.
Sun Ru had a famous saying during his lifetime, "If you are not rich in life, will you die in temple food?"
When the news came that Sun Ru was defeated and killed, Ma Yin burst into tears and said, "Our boss's biggest dream is to build a temple after his death, be worshiped by others, and enjoy sacrifices. If we have a place to build a cone in the future, we must help him." Fulfill your last wish (the Lord always wishes to eat in the temple, and we have the soil, so we can repay our kindness by serving as a temple)!"
After Ma Yin took over Tanzhou, he presented it to Sun Ru Situ and the Prince of Anle County, and built a temple to worship him.
In fact, Sun Ru also has a famous saying. He often scratches his head in front of the mirror and says to himself while caressing his head, "This head will soon be admitted to the capital." What he meant was that he was going to take over Chang'an, but it was a pity. This sentence is ambiguous. Later, his words came true, and his head entered the capital, but his body did not follow him.
Tanzhou Mayin and Huainan Yangxingmi are not adjacent to each other. There is a buffer zone in the middle. The north of this buffer zone is Ezhou Duhong and the south is Hongzhou Zhongchuan. Since both Du Hong of Ezhou and Zhong Chuan of Hongzhou were enemies of Yang Xingmi of Huainan, Yang Xingmi wanted to win over Ma Yin very much in line with the basic principle of making friends from far away and attacking close by, so as to contain Du Hong and Zhong Chuan.
Yang Xingmi's wishful thinking failed. Ma Yin also relied on Zhu Wen and stood in the same trench with Du Hong of Ezhou and Zhongchuan of Hongzhou, thus making Yang Xingmi's westward advance plan more difficult.
Yang Xingmi, a man of great talent and strategy, continued to look westward. Directly west of the Huainan forces, there were three vassal towns, from north to south, Xiangzhou Zhao Kuangning, Jingnan Chengru and Langzhou Lei Yangong.
The breakthrough for the westward advance lies with these people.
