When the Northern Song Dynasty perished, what was the end of Yang Jiajiang?

Yang Jiajiang in history is not as dramatic and legendary as storytelling, drama, novel and unofficial history's interpretation. A series of stories, such as "Seven Langs and Eight Tigers", "Battle of Golden Beach", "Yangmen Woman", "Mu Guiying" and "Datianmen Array", are just legends, not historical facts.

? What is the Yang family like in the official history?

First of all, the stories in the official history are not as legendary as novels, storytelling and other genres, but one thing is true, that is, the Yang family are loyal ministers who are loyal to the country and full of loyalty. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, all the descendants of the Yang family stood at the forefront of the war, bravely resisting the invasion of Liao with their own flesh and blood, and guarding this country.

Yang Ye, the master of the Yang family, was famous for his bravery from the Five Dynasties to the early Song Dynasty. He was an official of the Northern Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. He followed Liu Chongnan, the ancestor of the Northern Han Dynasty, and made many meritorious deeds. Every time he leads the army, he can beat the enemy out of the water and is known as "invincible" After the subjugation of the Northern Han Dynasty, Yang Ye followed the emperor Liu Jiyuan in the last years of the Northern Han Dynasty and surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty.

After officially entering the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye continued to be highly valued by Song Taizong, and was appointed as the representative of the state and government, and also served as the deployment of the Sanjiao garrison. In March (980), Emperor Jing Zong of Liao led hundreds of thousands of troops to Yanmen. Yang Ye led thousands of cavalry out of the western suburbs, went around to the north of Yanmenguan, and raided the Liao army to the south. Before and after the attack on Pan Mei, the Liao army fled. Xiao Duh, the assistant of Liao State, was killed, and Jong Li was captured alive under the command of "Ma bu" or horse stance just look. Liao army suffered heavy losses. In this war, Yang Ye became famous in the first world war. After that, as long as the Liao army saw the flag of Yang Ye, it immediately ran away and did not dare to compete with it.

In the third year of Yongxi (986), in order to recover sixteen states, Song Taizong decided to northern expedition Liao country, and Yang Ye followed its northern expedition and served as deputy commander of marked army. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Song Jun slowly but surely, and the Liao army was caught off guard. Lien Chan lost in a row, losing Yunzhou, Yingzhou, Atlas and Shuozhou one after another. However, then the Liao army began to fight back. Xiao Taihou and his minister, Lu Ye Hanning, had the skin of North and South. , and Wu Tiyin led the troops more than ten, once again captured atlas state. Seeing that the Liao army was menacing, in order to prevent Yunxian and Shuozhou from being captured by the Liao army again, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty decided to move all the people of the three countries back to the mainland.

At this time, it was Pan Mei, marked, who was responsible for moving the people of Sanzhou back to the mainland. Originally, it was very simple for Pan Mei and Yang Ye to protect the people of the three states from returning to the mainland. Just inform the officials of the three States, let them inform the people, and then go back to China together. However, it is such a simple thing, but because of the different escort methods, the marked military leaders have differences.

At this time, Yang Ye thought that the people were going to retreat secretly. At the same time, in order to prevent the Liao army from suddenly attacking during the retreat, he sent one thousand archers to ambush at the mouth of Shijie Valley, and ordered cavalry to support them in the middle, just in case. Arguably, Yang Ye's cautious approach is the safest and most foolproof, but some people have raised objections. At this point, Wang Shu, governor of Yingzhou Military Forces, raised an objection. He thought that at this time, Song Jun was not afraid of the Liao army, so long as he went straight to Yanmen Beichuan and made great strides.

Such a risky move, Yang Ye naturally won't agree. He is strongly opposed to this matter. Seeing that Yang Ye was his enemy, Wang Shu said with ulterior motives, "The general always prides himself on being invincible, but he hesitates when he sees the enemy. Does he have any other ideas? " Yang Ye is a capitulator, and his personality is honest and frank. He was angry to see uncle Wang say that about him. So, in order to prove his loyalty to Dasong, he decided to lead the troops to fight the Liao army himself.

In this way, Yang Ye, who was cautious by nature, was forced to take risks by his own people and went to war with the Liao army. As a result of this war, Yang Ye died. During the battle, Wang Shu and Pan Mei abandoned themselves, which led to the siege of Yang Ye by the Liao army. Then Yang Ye's second son, Yang Yanyu, died in battle, and Yang Ye was captured by the Liao army in endless battles. After that, he refused to surrender and starved for three days and died.

After Yang Ye and his death, Yang was the only one who could find the history of Yang's family. The other five sons, Yang Yanpu, Yang Yanxun, Yang Yangui and Yang Yangui, were not recorded. Yang was also a famous soldier in the Northern Song Dynasty and the most promising son of the second generation of Yang family. After Yang Ye's death, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of resisting Liao in Yanbian, Hebei Province, and resisted the intrusion of Liao army in Jingzhou (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province) and Baozhou (now Anxin County, Hebei Province).

In the confrontation with the Liao army, Yang inherited his father Yang Zhifeng (praised him as "the father's wind of managing soldiers and protecting blockade lines"), and defeated the Liao army in flight, which can be described as a sublime frontier. At that time, Liao people thought that the northern part of Youyan, the sixth important town of the Big Dipper, was their nemesis, so they thought that Yang who killed them three times in flight was Liu Lang's general, so they called him.

? How did the descendants of the Yang family end up?

Because Yang Ye's six sons, except Yang's historical records, Yang Yanpu, Yang Yanxun, Yang Yangui, Yang Yangui and other five sons are not recorded, so now we only know the information of Yang's children, and the rest are unknown.

Yang has three sons, namely Yang Chuanyong and Yang. Among them, Yang Chuanyong and he were not recorded in history books, only Yang. Yang became an official with the shadow of his ancestors. He was originally a junior officer of the imperial army, but later he was promoted to be a warden because he suppressed the Zhang Hai uprising in southern Shaanxi and worked for Fan Zhongyan, the manager of Shaanxi. In the fourth year (1052), Yang was transferred to Di Qing's command, followed him to crusade against agriculture, and then moved to Zuoku with imperial equipment by virtue of the meritorious military service.

After Song Yingzong acceded to the throne, he was promoted to special envoy of Xingzhou defense and deputy general manager of Qingfeng Road, in charge of Xixia defense. During this period, Yang built Tongwei Fort to prevent the invasion of Xixia people and repelled the Xixia army that tried to destroy Tongwei Fort. In the third year of Xining (1070), in December, Yang moved to Hebei and served as the deputy general manager of Dingzhou Road. He was promoted to guard against Liao people. In Dingzhou for three years, Yang resisted the harassment of Liao people many times, and Liao people did not take advantage of him.

After Yang, Yang's descendants never appeared in the history books.

There may be only two reasons for not appearing. First, Yang lost his heir and the Yang family lost their lives. Since then, the Yang family has disappeared from the history books of the Song Dynasty. Second, Yang had a successor, but nothing happened. No one can inherit Yang Xianzu's style, carry forward Yang's fine tradition, and make new contributions on the battlefield against foreign enemies. Simply put, since Yang, Yang's family may not be qualified to be included in the history books.

Perhaps it is because of one of the above two situations that the Yang family failed to save the country when the Northern Song Dynasty perished. In fact, it's not that Yang's family doesn't want to come out to save the country, but that Yang's family has been unable to save the country.

First of all, if the Yang family is extinct, the Yang family will not be able to come out to save the country, and there will be none left. How can they come out to save the country? Secondly, if the Yang family is incompetent, the Yang family naturally has no ability to save the country. After all, we must have the ability to lead troops to fight, not to mention whether it is related to the survival of the Northern Song Dynasty. This requires the ability to lead troops to fight. If there is no ability, it is expected that the Northern Song Dynasty will not use him to lead troops to resist the invasion of the Jin people.

Generally speaking, the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was not because no artists came out to save the country, but because no artists came out to save the Yang family at this time.
