Life of the characters
Early experience
Li Xiong is eight feet three inches tall and handsome. According to the book of Jin, "Xiong is eight feet three inches long and has a beautiful appearance. They should not smell with strong spirit, and they should go back to their hometown every week, which is highly valued by those who know how to do it. " When he was young, he was famous for his bravery. He often worked in the countryside, and was highly valued by knowledgeable people. There is a man named Liu Hua, who is a Taoist Warlock. He often says to people, "all the taxis in Guanzhou and Longzhou will go south. Among the sons of the Li family, Zhong Jun is the only one with extraordinary appearance. He will become the master of people in the end."
Li te led a refugee uprising in Shu and appointed Li Xiong as a former general by the emperor's will. On February 15, 303, the second year of Tai'an, Li te, Li Fu and Li Yuan were killed by Yizhou assassin Luo Shang in Xinfan (now Xinfan Town, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province). In March, Li Dang, his elder brother, was killed while pursuing the enemy. At this time, Li te and his son Li Dang died one after another, and Jingzhou soldiers captured Deyang. The situation was critical. Li Liu, his successor, was deeply frightened. Under the persuasion of his brother-in-law Li Han, he fell to Sun Fu, the vanguard of Jingzhou soldiers and the prefect of Jianping County in may. However, Li Xiong firmly opposed it and led his army to attack Sun Fu's army alone, causing heavy casualties. At this time, the commander-in-chief and Jingzhou governor Zongdai died in Dianjiang (now Hechuan District of Chongqing), and the soldiers in Jingzhou had to return to Jingzhou. In June, Li Xiong captured Pidu district (now Pidu District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province).
In September, when li Liu died of illness, Li Xiong called himself the governor of Dadu, the great general and the herdsman of Yizhou, and lived in Picheng. Luo Shang sent his troops to attack Li Xiong. Li Xiong beat him away and attacked Shaocheng in Chengdu at night. Luo Shang surrendered to the big city. Li Xiang attacked Qianwei and cut off Luo Shang's transportation of grain. In December, Luo Shang's army was very short of food and attacked in a hurry, so he left Yamen Luote to defend. Luo Shang abandoned the city and fled to Jiangyang county (now Luzhou City, Sichuan Province) at night. Luo te opened the gate to welcome Li Xiong into the city, and then conquered Chengdu. At that time, Li Xiong's army was very hungry, so he led his troops to eat in Qidi and dug wild taro to eat. Shu people fled in exile and went east to Jiangyang and south to Qijun. Because fan Changsheng of Xishan lived in a cave on the cliff, Li Xiong wanted to welcome him to be king and become his minister. Fan Changsheng insisted on refusing. Li Xiong tried his best to avoid and dare not make decisions. No matter how big or small things were, it was up to Li Guo and Li Li brothers to make decisions. Li Guo and others are more respectful to Li Xiong.
Establish Chenghan
In the first year of Yongxing (304), the generals insisted that Li Xiong be honored, so Li Xiong called himself the king of Chengdu, pardoned the criminals in the territory, established the year of Jianxing, abolished the laws of Jin Dynasty, and made seven chapters. Li Li was appointed as Taifu, Li Shi as Taibao, Li Li as Taiwei, Li Yun as situ, Li Huang as Sikong, and Li Guo as taizai. His great grandfather Li Wu was Duke Huan of Bajun, his grandfather Li Mu was king Xiang of Longxi, his father Li TE was king Jing of Chengdu, and his mother Luo Shi was queen mother. Fan Changsheng took a suche from Xishan to Chengdu. Li Xiong met him in front of the door, gave him a seat, worshipped him as prime minister, and honored him as fan Xian. In the third year of Jianxing (306), fan Changsheng advised Li Xiong to become emperor. Li Xiong became emperor, pardoned the criminals in the territory, changed his name to Yan Ping, and became the national name Dacheng. His father Li TE was king, the ancestor of the temple, and his mother Luo Shi was empress dowager. Fan Changsheng was granted the title of Grand Master of heaven and earth and Marquis of Xishan. His subordinates were allowed not to take part in the military expedition, and all taxes were put into his family.
At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, Li Xiong had no laws, discipline and etiquette, and the generals fought for the position of the shift by virtue of their kindness. Yan shishangshu, his secretary of state, said: "it is always better to follow the old system when governing the country and formulating laws and disciplines. In the old Han and Jin Dynasties, only Taiwei and dasima were in charge of military power. Taifu and Taibao were officials like father and brother. They talked about moral positions. Situ and Sikong were in charge of the affairs of the five religions and nine territories. In the Qin Dynasty, prime ministers were set up to take charge of all kinds of government affairs. At the end of the Han and Wu dynasties, the general took charge of the government affairs. Now that the foundation of the country has just been established, Pepsi has not been comprehensive, and the ranks of the generals are different, so they are competing to set up official posts, which is not in line with the old system of laws and regulations. We should establish a system as a model law. " Li Xiong followed his advice.
Defeat the enemy and seize the city
In the fifth year of Yanping (310), Li Xiong sent Li Guo, Li Yun and other disciples to attack Hanzhong, and Zhang Yin, the governor of Liangzhou, fled to Chang'an. Li Guo and others captured Nanzheng and moved all Hanzhong people to Shu. Before that, there were successive years of famine and pestilence in the south, with 100000 dead. Li Yi, the commander of Nanyi school, insisted on defending but did not surrender. Li Xiong enticed the Jianning (now Yunnan Province) barbarians to take on Li Yi. Li Yi died and the city was captured, killing more than 3000 strong men and sending thousands of women to Chengdu.
At that time, Li Li occupied Zitong County, and his department, Luo Dan and Zhang Jingou, killed Li Li and Yan Shi and surrendered to Luo Shang with Zitong. Luo Shang sent his ministry to garrison Xiang Fen in Anhan (today's Nanchong City, Sichuan Province) to bully Li Xiong. Li Xiong led his disciples to attack Xiang Fen, but failed. At that time, Li Guozhen was in charge of Brazil county (now Langzhong City, Sichuan Province). Wen Shuo, who was under his charge, killed Li Guozhen and surrendered Brazil to luoshang. Li Xiong then led the crowd back and sent his department Zhang Bao to attack Zitong, and captured Zitong. When luoshang died, Bajun was in chaos, and Li Xiang attacked Fucheng. In the first month of the first year of Yuheng (311), Li Xiang captured Fucheng (now Mianyang City, Sichuan Province), captured Qiao Deng, the prefect of Zitong, and then took advantage of the victory to attack Wen Shuo and killed him. Li Xiong was very happy, pardoned the criminals in the territory, and changed his name to Yuheng.
Leniency, exemption and reduction of surcharges
In the fourth year of Yuheng (314), Hanjia county (now Ya'an City, Sichuan Province) and Fuling county (now Pengshui County, Chongqing city) were established in the south of the Han Dynasty. People from afar were attached to them one after another. Li Xiong then issued an order about leniency, exempting those who surrendered and attached from their corvee taxes. With an open mind and cherishing talents, Yizhou settled down because the appointment was in line with the talents of the recipients. In the fifth year of Yuheng (315), Li Xiong made his wife Ren the queen. Yang Nandi, the king of Di, was defeated by former Zhao LiuYao and fled to Jiameng. He sent his son to Chenghan as a hostage. Chen an, commander of the bandits in Longxi, attached himself to Li Xiong.
Li Xiong sent Li Yu to conquer Yueyu county (now Xichang City, Sichuan Province), and Li Zhao, the governor of Yueyu County, surrendered. When Li Xiang was a child, he would attack Wang Xun, the governor of ningzhou (now Huaning County, Yunnan Province). Wang Xun asked Yao Yue, his ministry, to lead all the soldiers to fight. Li's army was defeated, and it rained heavily for days. Li led the army to withdraw and fight to cross Lushui. Many soldiers died. When Li Zhao arrived in Chengdu, Li Xiong treated him very well. The ceremony of the imperial court and the etiquette of the funeral were decided by Li Zhao.
When Yang Nandi fled to Jiameng, Li Xiong's Anbei General Li Zhiyou comforted them and sent their brother back to Wudu. Yang Nandi did a lot of things against the law because of natural danger. Li Zhi asked to attack him. Li Ying, the leader of Li Xiong's faction, and the generals Leci, feita, and Li Qian fought from the baishuiqiao attack, and Li Shou, the general of the East, led Li Yu to attack Yinping. Yang Nan sent troops to resist them, but Li Shou couldn't push forward, but Li Fu and Li Zhi drove straight into WuJie. Yang Nandi sent troops to cut off their back roads, besieged them on all sides, captured Li Fu and Li Zhi, and killed thousands of people. Li Yu and Li Zhi are the sons of Li Dang, Li Xiong's elder brother. Li Xiong deeply mourned them for not eating for a few days. He burst into tears and deeply blamed himself.
Support the crown prince
In the 14th year of Yuheng (324), Li Xiong planned to make Li ban, the son of his elder brother Li Dang, the prince. Li Xiong has more than ten sons, and all his ministers want to be Li Xiong's own. Li Xiong said: "at the beginning of the war, just like ordinary people raise their hands to protect their heads, they didn't want the foundation of the emperor. When the world was in turmoil, the royal family of the Jin family was in exile, and the people raised their troops to revolt, aiming to save the lives of the people who had been burned with charcoal. The establishment of this foundation was due to the emperor. My elder brother is his own blood. Dazuo should be inherited by him. He is magnificent, beautiful, intelligent and wise. It's like God has given him this mission. He died in the battlefield after a great event. If you are good-natured, you will become a good class Li Yi and situ Wangda remonstrated: "the reason why the former king set up the prince was to prevent the germination of usurping the throne and seizing power, so we should not be careless. Wu Zi abandoned his son to establish his younger brother, so there would be a great disaster of assassination; song Xuangong did not establish song Mugong with foreigners, which finally led to the incident of song Du. When it comes to being like a son, where can you compare with a real son? Your majesty, please think deeply. " Li Xiong didn't listen and finally set up Li ban. After Li Xiang stepped down, he said with tears, "disaster and chaos have begun since then.".
Letter from Zhang Jun
Zhang Jun, the former king of Liangwen, sent a letter to Li Xiong, urging him to remove the title of emperor and call him a vassal to the Jin Dynasty. Li Xiong wrote back and said, "I was elected by the literati before, but I didn't want to be an emperor. I want to be a minister who has made great achievements in the Jin Dynasty. I want to be a general who defends the frontier like you, so as to clean up the atmosphere and dust, and make the emperor's world healthy and peaceful. However, the Jin Dynasty is declining, and there is no reputation for kindness. I have been looking east for some years. I've just heard from you. I'm alone in the dark room
