The value of a historical figure depends on what he has done and how influential he is. Today we will talk about Song Wudi, the founding monarch of the Southern Dynasties.
From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Song was an outstanding monarch. If we consider him in the sequence of emperors, we should say that he is a leader.
Emperor Wu of song, the word Deyu, nicknamed Keanu, is from Suiyuli, Pengcheng County (in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Xin Qiji, a famous Southern Song Dynasty star, wrote "Song of Eternal Sorrow"? In Jingkou's "Gu Bei Ting Nostalgia", it is written that "sunset grass trees, ordinary alleys, and humane slaves once lived. "What he said is actually the family history of Emperor Wu of song.
Emperor Wu of Song is the 22nd grandson of Liu Bang, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu, and six friends of King Chu Yuan. The glory of ancestors did not let Emperor Wu of Song enjoy the warmth of the world. When he was born, he lived in a humble alley. His father was short of money and could not even afford to hire a wet nurse. After the early death of his biological mother, if it weren't for the kindness of his aunt, Emperor Wu of Song would have died.
Poverty is unmatched, but the poor life has honed Emperor Wu of Song. When he grew up, he was seven feet six inches tall, strong, generous and informal, and very filial to his stepmother who raised him.
High-quality seeds will thrive once they break the ground. In the tempering of life, Emperor Wu of Song shines brightly at the top of the mountain. "Qing should be a generation of heroes", and celebrities at that time could not help but sigh.
Once a man is in orbit, he will take off. After joining the army, Emperor Wu of Song became the Sima of Sun Wuji, the champion general. "At that time, Jin Ge was an iron horse and swallowed Wan Li." In Xin Qiji's eyes, Emperor Wu of Song's military career is full of prestige. For more than twenty years, Emperor Wu of Song has made remarkable achievements. If you make a list of achievements, countless people will be defeated by him.
In the third year of the reign of Emperor Long 'an of Jin 'an (399), Emperor Wu of Song only led dozens of scouts to meet thousands of Sun En insurgents. Emperor Wu of Song killed many enemies with few to many, forcing Sun En's army to retreat to the sea.
In the first year of Yuan Xing (402), for fear of defeat, Liu Laozhi, the chief executive, fled, so Emperor Wu of Song had to abandon his ability and temporarily land in Huan Xuan. In the second year of Yuan Xing (403), Emperor Wu of Song was ordered to push back Sun En's brother-in-law Lu Xun and slay his general Zhang Shidao.
In February of the third year of Yuan Xing (404), Emperor Wu of Song arose, killed Huan Xiu, annihilated the main force of Huan Chu and defeated Huan Xuan. At this point, emperor Wu of song's army has entered the health city, and received the support of many ministers in the city. In the past, the fierce general who galloped on the battlefield and was all-powerful, entered politics.
In the first year of Yixi (405), Emperor Wu of Song sent envoys to the later Qin Dynasty, and recovered twelve counties, such as Nanxiang, Yang Shun and Xinye, which had been lost by one soldier. In the first month of the fourth year of Yixi (407), Wang Mi, the life mentor of Emperor Wu of Song, died. Liu Yu became the actual controller of the Eastern Jin regime.
The many achievements of this campaign supported Liu Yu's title of "the first emperor of the Southern Dynasties". He successively won Southern Yan in the Northern Expedition; South to pacify Lingnan rebellion; Eradicate the rebellious Liu Yi; Westbound to destroy qiaoshu. ...
A capable person can do anything.
From 4 12, Emperor Wu of Song was in power as the actual helm of the Eastern Jin regime. Emperor Wu of song is very good at governing the world. "Since Venus, the government has been in turmoil, the power gates have been merged, the people have been displaced, and their industries cannot be guaranteed." Faced with the situation that everything was in ruins, Emperor Wu of Song took decisive measures to crack down on illegal wealth, recruit talented people, reduce corvees and taxes, and persuade farmers and mulberry workers to release social productive forces to the maximum extent.
In the 14th year of Yixi (4 18), Emperor Wu's achievements in governing the world were outstanding, and social stability and peace emerged. As a minister, he exercised "the matter of the son of heaven". This year, the Eastern Jin Dynasty made Emperor Wu of Song ten counties, and made Guo Xiang, Zongbaiba and Yangzhou Pastoral. With the "support" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Song was ordered to establish the "Kingdom of Song" and become the Duke of Song.
At the end of that year, Emperor Jin 'an was killed, and Emperor Wu of Song supported the puppet emperor Gong Jin. In the second year, in the first year of Yuanxi (4 19), the fief of Emperor Wu of Song increased to twenty counties.
At this point, he is only one step away from becoming a real emperor.
On Ding Mao Day (10, July 420) in June of Yuan Xi's second year, Emperor Wu of Song officially proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of "Song" changed to Yuan Yongchu. Soon, the neighboring countries in Linyi threw themselves at Emperor Wu of Song. In order to stabilize the situation in Liu Song and his own rule, Emperor Wu of Song quickly took measures to unify the military power in various places and reduce the corvee tax of the people again.
Childhood experiences often affect a person's life. Since childhood, he has lived in poverty. When he became emperor, Emperor Wu of Song still had several frugal habits. In his palace, there are no precious jewels and jade, no gorgeous chariots and horses, and no sound of silk and bamboo.
Later generations praised Emperor Wu of Song as "the first emperor of the Southern Dynasties", which is an affirmation of his ability and a compliment to his character. As Su Zhe said: "Not only did he destroy the Huan family, but he also inherited Jin's legacy and sealed it. He also defeated Qiao Zong, embraced Murong Chao, chased Lu Xun, and captured Yao Hong. The four great achievements are irresistible in the world. "
Emperor Wu of Song played an important role in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty, but he played an important role in China. Therefore, the evaluation of The First Emperor of the Southern Dynasties is really to the point.
