Life of the characters

Wang Changtong is good at astronomy, calendar and fortune telling. Then he took Divination as his career and found that Handan city had the spirit of the emperor, that is, he pretended to be Liu Ziyu, the son of emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, in order to achieve great things. Before Wang Mang established the new dynasty, someone claimed to be Liu Ziyu, the son of emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, and was killed by Wang Mang. Wang Chang used the incident to pretend that he was the real Liu Ziyu and met with Liu Lin, the son of Zhao Miao Wang. He claimed to escape from the persecution of Zhao Feiyan, the empress of emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, and fled to Shu. He learned that Hebei was the son of heaven, so he came to Hebei. Liu Lin, together with Li Yu and Zhang Shen of Zhao Guohao, planned to establish Wang Chang as emperor. At that time, it was rumored that the red eyebrow army would cross the Yellow River and move northward. In October of the first year of the reform (AD 23), Liu Xuan, the emperor of the reform, ordered Liu Xiu to be the general of the defeated army and the commander-in-chief to pacify Hebei. Liu Xiu passed Handan and met with Liu Lin. Liu Lin suggested that Liu Xiu break the dike and drown the red eyebrow army in Hebei. Without consent, Liu Xiu left Handan and headed north to Zhending. In December of the first year of reform (AD 23), Liu Lin led hundreds of motorcycles into Handan city. In the early morning at the palace of the king of Zhao, Wang Chang became the emperor and established his own political power, which is known as the imperial power in history“

. Wang Chang appointed Liu Lin as prime minister, Li Yu as chief Sima and Zhang Shen as general. Wang Chang sent troops to occupy Jizhou and Youzhou. Taking advantage of the people's still thinking of the Han Dynasty, he claimed that Zhai Yi, who opposed Wang Mang before the establishment of the new dynasty, was not dead, but was supporting him, thus gaining popularity. To the north of Zhao state and to the west of Liaodong, Wang Chang was in charge. Immediately, Wang Chang issued an imperial edict: "there are those who have been presented to me by Liu Xiu in the world, and they will be rewarded by 100000 households." At the beginning of the second year of the reform (A.D. 24), Liu Xiu recruited troops to strengthen his strength. Liu Zhi and Geng Chun led more than 2000 clan guests to Liu Xiu. Geng Kuang, governor of Shanggu and Peng Chong, governor of Yuyang, sent shock cavalry to support Liu Xiu, and Wang Chang was at a disadvantage. After that, Wang Chang was defeated in successive battles all over Hebei Province. In April, Liu Xiu marched into Handan, and in May, he conquered Handan city. Wang Chang fled Handan by night and was killed on the way. So far,

Anecdotes and allusions

Qiyangcheng village, a millennium old city, is located 7.5km west of Linqi Town, Linzhou City, Henan Province. It is commonly known as "Langcheng" among the people. In the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Lang (Wang Chang), a native of Handan, built the city by stationing troops. Wang Lang was a politician at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. His hometown was in Handan. He came to Linzhou to pursue Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu. When you came to Linqi basin, you could see the magnificent mountains and rivers and fertile land here, so you were happy to stay here and build a city. The name of "Langcheng" started from this. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people thought Wang Lang had a bad reputation, so they took the meaning of "the village lies in the north of the Qi River" (Hebei was called Yang in ancient times) and renamed it "Qi Yang City". Qiyang city in history is not only one of the ancient cities of Linzhou, but also the seat of Qiyang County. According to the geographical records of the Sui Dynasty, Linwu county was abolished in the third year of kaihuang (583 AD), and Qiyang County was established. In the second year of Daye (607 AD), Linwu county was established. Qi water is to the south. " It can be seen that Qiyang County is only 24 years old, but the names of Qiyang city and Langcheng have been handed down to this day. Until 1970, the brick inscription "ancient Qiyang city" still existed on the gate of the coupons in the west of the village.
