Li, a native of Longxi, Han nationality, was the founder of Xiliang State in the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and his father Li Chang was a posthumous child. After claiming to be the general of the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang, the ancestor of Li, moved to the Emperor's Road from the Han Dynasty, and Xizhou was the most widely known in the world. In the Tang Dynasty, Li was also called his ancestor.
In the first year of Beiliang, Duan Ye claimed that Liangzhou Pastoral took Li as Xiaogan County Magistrate, and was later promoted to Dunhuang Magistrate. In the second year of Tianxi in Northern Liang Dynasty, Li claimed to be a general, a captain protecting Qiang, a herdsman from Erzhou and Liang Gong, and changed to Gengzi in Yuan Dynasty, with Dunhuang as its capital. The territory of the western regions was vast. At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty in 405, he sent envoys to serve Jin and moved the capital to Jiuquan to fight against Beiliang for a long time.
Li himself likes reading. When he was in office, he paid attention to culture and education, and his style of writing was quite prosperous in China. In the thirteenth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li died of illness and was named King Zhao, with the temple name Taizu. Li Xin succeeded to the throne.
Overview of Li's life
In the first year of Beiliang, Duan Ye claimed to be a Liangzhou animal husbandry, with Li as the county magistrate, and was later promoted to the Dunhuang magistrate. In the second year of Tianxi in Northern Liang Dynasty, Li claimed to be a general, a captain protecting Qiang, a herdsman from Erzhou and Liang Gong, and changed to Gengzi in Yuan Dynasty, with Dunhuang as its capital. The territory of the western regions was vast. At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty in 405, he sent envoys to serve Jin and moved the capital to Jiuquan to fight against Beiliang for a long time.
In the fourth year of Jin Longan, the Northern Liang Jinchang Prefecture issued an initiative to Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Jinchang, Liangxing, Jiankang and Qilian counties, and elected Li, the Northern Liang Dunhuang Prefecture, as the champion general and Liang Gong, the captain of animal husbandry and Qiang. In the same year, Li established Xiliang State in Dunhuang, with its territory stretching from Jiankang in the east to Shanshan in the west.
In the fourth year of Andi Longan, the satrap of Jinchang handed over six counties to Li, and promoted him to be the viceroy, general, Duke Liang, Qin Liangmu and a captain of Jiang. So Li Jianli established the Xiliang regime, with the title of Gengzi. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li took everything as the starting point and the national treasury was unprofitable. Therefore, in agriculture, resting soldiers and training scholars were the guiding ideology at that time. Politically, we should know people well, be active and trainable, be lenient in law enforcement, reward and punish and be trustworthy. He pardoned his territory, called on people who had left their homes because of the war to return home, attached importance to farming and mulberry, and gave preferential treatment and help to these people who returned home. Soon, more than 23,000 refugee families moved back to Dunhuang. In order to unify Hexi, he also sent Song Yaodong to levy Liangzhou in the east and Yumen in the west, all of which were successful. Subsequently, he implemented the measures of soldiers involved in agriculture, and drove a large number of soldiers to Yumenguan, Yangguan and other places to open up wasteland and accumulate grain as the capital of the Eastern Expedition. Therefore, Dunhuang's economy destroyed by the war was quickly restored and developed. At this time, Li built a hall near the water outside the south gate of the city as a place for him to discuss state affairs and review military equipment with his courtiers. In order to revitalize culture and education and cultivate Confucian scholars, Pan Palace was built, and doctors of Five Classics were set up in various counties to teach Confucian classics. This writing style was once popular.
In the first year of Andi Yixi, Li Gaiyuan was founded. He sent someone to present his watch to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the second year of Yixi, Meng Xun invaded Xiliang, sent troops to attack Jiankang County, and plundered more than 3,000 families. Li was very angry when he learned that. Immediately, he personally led the troops to Mi 'an, defeated them and stopped all the looted families. From then on, he urged farming, and the people were happy, and the country was well-off and prosperous.
After Li took office, he spoke widely and actively revitalized culture and education. In Xiliang, where he ruled, many scholars and celebrities took refuge in him and were valued by him. At that time, Dunhuang gathered a group of talents and made outstanding academic achievements, forming a prosperous period of "Five Grains Culture" centered on Dunhuang. Li is not only an aspiring politician, but also a writer. He has written many books, such as Fu of Shu, Fu of Sophora japonica and Fu Rong. But except for Zhifu's narrative, none of them have been handed down.
Although Xiliang country has been expanding from Jiankangxi to Shanshan, its border is unstable. Qu Mengxun, the king of Beiliang in Zhangye, whose capital is Zhang Ye, is eyeing Xiliang and often sends troops to harass him. In order to resist the northern cool, Li sought the opinions of his subordinates and moved the capital from Dunhuang to Jiuquan in 405 AD. Dunhuang is guarded by his third son, Li Rang. After Li moved the capital to Jiuquan, he actively organized the army to practice martial arts and make great efforts to govern. Beiliang fought Xiliang several times and failed. The two sides had to conclude a Covenant and declare a strike. Since then, Xiliang has been stable for a period of time.
Li Yu Yixi died in thirteen years at the age of 67. After his death, he was named "King Wu Liangzhao". Then his second son, Li Xin, succeeded to the throne. Xiliang country lasted for 2 1 year after being spread three times and died in Beiliang.
Li-myths and legends
In the first year of Jin Longan in the period of Li Sixteen Kingdoms, Dunhuang belonged to the territory of Beiliang. Li, an ambitious Dunhuang native, became a Dunhuang satrap with the support of local forces.
Although Li is a satrap, he is not willing to be subordinate to others and always wants to build a country and make a career. One day, he took off his official clothes and put on casual clothes, without entourage, with a sword hanging around his waist and a bow and arrow on his back, pretending to be hunting. He went out of the city gate alone and walked on a country road. The path is shaded by trees, birds are singing, and the crops on the roadside are lush. Li was enjoying the rural scenery when he heard someone shouting in the distance: "West Cool Army, West Cool Army!" " He was surprised and thought, I am planning to build a country with a cool west. I don't know who called me Xiliang. If the Northern Liang King finds out, he will be killed! At this time, the voice calling for Xi Liang Jun rose again, and Wen Li's prestige disappeared. I saw a tiger standing in front of the mottled tree shadow, staring at him with his eyes.
Although Li is skilled in martial arts, the tiger is in the way and the world is inevitably a little nervous. Take a strong bow and arrow from your back and aim it at the tiger. At this time, the tiger shouted, don't shoot an arrow! I called you just now, please don't doubt, I won't hurt you. I have something important to tell the king because of my great trust. When Li saw the tiger talking, he threw his bow and arrow on the ground, shook his fist and said, I am not a king. I don't know what the king is calling for. Please give me more advice.
The tiger walked up to Li, nodded and said, You are very talented as a king, and you will definitely become the king of Xiliang in the future. A gentleman cannot stay on the throne for long. He should take advantage of today's troubled times to establish a cool country in the west. Li said: It is my great ambition to establish a country and establish a career in Dunhuang! In Dunhuang, you can only build a country, not a career. If Xiliang wants to prosper, it is a long-term solution to move its capital to Jiuquan after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Why move the capital? Li asked. Because Dunhuang is vast and sparsely populated, and its geographical location is remote, it is not a blessed land. Moving the capital to Jiuquan can expand the territory eastward and dominate Hexi. How many years can Xiliang country be guaranteed? Don't reveal the secret. I hope you take care of yourself! When the tiger finished speaking, he jumped three times and two times and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Three years later, Li really established the country of Xiliang in Dunhuang and became the king of Xiliang. Five years later, in order to realize the grand wish of unifying the Hexi Corridor, the capital moved from Dunhuang to Jiuquan. In * * * seventeen years. Twenty years later, Xiliang was destroyed by his son Li Xin.
Li-Personal Achievement
He is the sixteenth grandson of Li Guang, a famous Western Han Dynasty star. When Li was a teenager, he was studious and familiar with the history of classics. He is particularly good at writing and etiquette, and he is also proficient in Sun Wu's art of war and loves martial arts. He developed a good skill when he was very young. His character is silent, agile and generous. In the last few years in Lv Guang, Hou Liang, Ren Xiaogu made an order. Youhui Zheng Hui was elected by the people of Shazhou as the general of Ningshuo, the magistrate of Dunhuang, and the general of Fengningshuo. When Beiliang was doing business, he was the magistrate of Dunhuang and general Anxi, taking care of a captain of the West Lake. In the fourth year of Long 'an Emperor of Jin 'an, the satrap of Jinchang united with six counties, promoted Li to viceroy, general, and Duke Liang, and led the leaders of grazing and protecting Qiang in the two states of Qin and Liang. Li Nai made himself king, built Yuan Gengzi, built Dunhuang as the capital, and appointed officials to seal generals. That's when the Xiliang regime began.
Li Jianli's Xiliang regime is a Han regime, and it is still a vassal of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which leans to the south of the Yangtze River. In order to avoid the war, a large number of Central Plains scholars moved to Xiliang, which promoted the economic and cultural development of Xiliang. In order to unify Hexi, Li sent officials to crusade Liangzhou in the east and Yumen in the west. After winning, he stationed troops in Yumen area to accumulate grain. He asked his son Li Rang to guard Dunhuang and sent Song Yao to help him move the capital from Dunhuang to Jiuquan. Li also personally led the troops of Xiliang, once defeated Meng Xun, a giant canal in Beiliang, and sent people to serve the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to unify the Central Plains, he ordered to cultivate fields in Yumenguan and Yangguan, urging farmers to plant crops well and get more food to strengthen the country and enrich the people. Under his rule, Xiliang became more and more powerful, emphasizing martial arts, persuading farmers to protect the country, establishing overseas Chinese counties to give up the people, and Hexi was once revived. The people are happy and the country is rich and strong. He wrote Zhuge Liang's admonition and encouraged all philosophers to work hard for politics. In order to consolidate the frontier defense, he built the east-west perimeter of the old fort in Dunhuang to prevent the invasion of the north and the southwest perimeter to conquer the south. He reigned for seventeen years and passed it on to his son Li Xin after his death.
Li is determined to inherit the great cause of Qianliang and end the division in Hexi. He attaches importance to both martial arts and Confucianism. Dunhuang at that time had become the center of the spread of Confucianism in the West. Sun Yao and Liu Rong saved a float boat in the north, so it is difficult for us to poke that moment of spring from a distance.
