In Chinese history, there have been a lot of heroes, many people have been arranged by the ancients into the novel, known to the world, and the Yang family will be one of them, I believe that many people have heard the story of the loyal Yang family general, the Yang family people served the Northern Song Dynasty, the town guarded the frontier, many Yang family children died on the battlefield.
However, because the traitors were in charge, the persecuted Yang family had to face both the fierce Liao soldiers and the court's intrigue and deception, and some people fell into political struggle and died in vain, which made people sigh. However, the legend of the Yang family general has an exaggerated element in later word of mouth.
In fact, in the history of the Song Dynasty, there are only three people recorded, Yang Jiye, Yang Yanzhao, and Yang Wenguang, all of whom sacrificed their strength to defend the Song Dynasty, and the others are all fictional, and the archetype of the great villain Pan Renmei is the Song general Pan Renmei, and everyone's impression of this person is a treacherous villain, in fact, he has been wronged a little, Pan Mei is one of the founding generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, leading the troops to pacify the Southern Han and Southern Tang, and made great military achievements, although the failure of the Liao Dynasty led to Yang Ye's death, but in fact it is not all his fault.
There is also a well-known figure in the Qing Dynasty's "Biography of Yue Quan", named Yang Zaixing, who was the grandson of Yang Jing (Yang Liulang), the general of the Yang family, who fell grass in jiulong mountain, making a golden gun martial arts superior, and later defected to Yue Fei. In fact, Yang Zaixing was a famous anti-Jin general in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is not clear whether he was a descendant of the Yang family general.
Yang Zaixing was originally a general of the rebel Cao Cheng, in the first year of Shaoxing (1131), Cao Cheng had more than 100,000 troops and occupied Hezhou Daozhou, but was later broken by Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing was also captured, after which he began to follow Yue Fei and became a weapon under his hands.
In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1130), after Yan Zongbi tore up the contract and concentrated his forces to attack the Song Dynasty again, Yue Fei sent Li Bao and others to fight with the Jin army in Caozhou, and then let Yang Zaixing and others lead the troops to meet them, in this battle, the Song army bravely advanced, breaking 200,000 jin soldiers, which made Jin Shuai finish Yan Zongbi angry and ashamed, and then let the Jin general Han Chang and other 120,000 troops stationed in the border city, ready to attack. Yue Fei led a large army to advance, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in Xijing, yang Zaixing single-handedly rushed into the Jin army, tried unsuccessfully to capture Yan Zongbi, killed dozens of Jin troops and left. It shocked and frightened the Jin people.
In order to get rid of this confidant, the Jin army set up an ambush at the small shang bridge near Linying, Yang Zaixing and Li Zhang led 300 cavalry to lead the army to lightly advance, hit the encirclement, Yang Zai excitedly resisted, and his subordinates killed more than 2,000 people and the Jin general SaBabao, but finally because they were outnumbered, ten thousand arrows pierced through the heart and died, and later the Jin army got his body, and after burning, he actually got as many as two liters of arrows.
When the news came, the Song army was full of grief, Yang Zaixing's heroic deeds were also praised by posterity, and the famous writer Mr. Jin Yong wrote it into his novel, the protagonist of "Divine Eagle Hero" Yang Guo, is the descendant of Yang Zaixing, Yang Guo's martial arts are superb, in the later stage of the development of the soul of the soul, martial arts is the world's first at that time. His arrogant pursuit of freedom has become the most unique of the protagonists in Jin Yong's various books. It can be proved that Jin Yong's evaluation of Yang Zaixing is also very high.
