Chapter 60 six have milk is a mother

Zhang Quanyi was born in a very poor family, and his ancestors were honest and honest farmers.After Zhang Quanyi grew up, in order to survive, he went to the local county government as a servant, and was bullied and insulted by the county magistrate many times.Therefore, when Wang Xianzhi's uprising army reached Zhang Quanyi's hometown of Puzhou, he actively joined Wang Xianzhi's army. After Wang Xianzhi failed, he joined Huang Chao's uprising army. He was promoted, and after the Huangchao uprising army captured Chang'an, he was appointed as the official secretary and water transport envoy of the Daqi peasant regime.At that time, the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the evaluation, appointment and dismissal of government officials, with great power and very important positions; and the water transport envoy was even more responsible for raising food from land and water for the million volunteers in Chang'an.It can be seen from these two positions that Zhang Quanyi occupies an important position in the Huangchao Uprising Army.

Soon, the Huangchao uprising army failed under the joint suppression of the Tang Dynasty army and the foreign army borrowed by the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Quanyi, like many generals of the peasant uprising army, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.At that time, Zhang Quanyi saw that Heyang Jiedu made Zhuge Shuang more powerful, so he took refuge in him. Zhuge Shuang sent him many times to kill the remnants of the rebel army and attack other warlords. Zhang Quanyi worked hard and made many military exploits.Under Zhuge Shuang's recommendation, Zhang Quanyi was appointed governor of Zezhou.Soon, Zhuge Shuang died of illness, and his subordinates Li Hanzhi and Liu Jing fought each other, hoping to occupy Luoyang.At that time, Zhang Quanyi was Liu Jing's subordinate. Liu Jing thought that Zhang Quanyi was reliable and had combat experience, so he sent him to resist the fierce Li Hanzhi.Zhang Quanyi came to the front line with the soldiers and horses given to him by Liu Jing, and found that Li Hanzhi was very powerful and powerful, not only himself, but Liu Jing himself could not resist the enemy.After analyzing the specific situation, Zhang Quanyi took refuge in Li Hanzhi and turned against Liu Jing. Seeing that Zhang Quanyi had betrayed him, Liu Jing had to ask Zhuge Shuang's son Zhuge Zhong for help.

With Zhuge Zhong's support, Liu Jing defeated Li Hanzhi.Seeing that Liu Jing asked for help from others, Li Hanzhi was not to be outdone, so he asked for help from Li Keyong, the great warlord who suppressed the peasant uprising army.With the help of Li Keyong, Li turned defeat into victory again and occupied many places.In this way, Zhang Quanyi was recommended by Li Hanzhi as Henan Yin. This Henan Yin's official position is a bit higher than that of the Zezhou governor, but it is very difficult to take. Li Hanzhi is a warlord who only knows how to kill, plunder, and fight. He doesn't know how to settle refugees and organize production. They pressed Zhang Quanyi for military supplies.At that time, people's livelihood was poor, hunger was everywhere, and it was extremely difficult to raise military rations. Although Zhang Quanyi tried his best to provide supplies, Li Hanzhi still couldn't meet Li Hanzhi's requirements. To deliver food.Under such circumstances, many subordinates advised Zhang Quanyi to leave Li Hanzhi or simply rebel, but Zhang Quanyi always tried to comfort him without showing his face.

Zhang Quanyi also knew deeply that if things go on like this, he will inevitably fall out with Li Hanzhi, and he must plan as soon as possible, so he obeyed Li Hanzhi on the surface, and tried his best to meet his requirements in terms of military supplies, so that Li Hanzhi would not be suspicious. ; On the other hand, he is also actively preparing and watching for opportunities.In the first year of Tang Xinzong's Wende (888), Li Hanzhi started the war again and led his troops to attack Jin and Zezhou. Seeing the opportunity came, Zhang Quanyi led his troops to occupy Li Hanzhi's Heyang without any effort, and proclaimed himself the Heyang Jiedushi.Li Hanzhi was furious when he heard the news, and immediately asked Li Keyong for help, and Li Keyong immediately sent troops to help Li Hanzhi recover Heyang.Before occupying Heyang, Zhang Quanyi was ready, contacted the warlord Zhu Wen, and asked him for help. Zhu Wen was expanding his power, so he readily accepted and sent troops to help him guard Heyang.When Li Keyong's army arrived, Zhu Wen's reinforcements were ready, so Li Keyong's army had to withdraw.Zhu Wen helped Zhang Quanyi a lot, and from then on, Zhang Quanyi voted under Zhu Wen's sect. Zhu Wen was not at ease with Zhang Quanyi, who had defected to him, and did not dare to give him military power, fearing that he would bite him back at any time.So he was given the rank of inspector Sikong without actual military power, and he was still asked to be Henan Yin to organize production in Henan.

When Zhang Quanyi served as Yin of Henan, Zhu Wen's power became more and more powerful, and finally developed to stand on his own in the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Wen used force to hold Tang Zhaozong to Luoyang, and made full preparations to abolish the Tang Dynasty and establish Zhu Wen. After the Liang regime.But the Luoyang area is Zhang Quanyi's sphere of influence, and his prestige in this area is relatively high. Zhu Wen was afraid that Zhang Quanyi would oppose him to usurp the Tang Dynasty for independence, so he removed him from the post of Henan Yin in advance and named him Dongping King: change him A false title of Zhongshu Ling.

Zhang Quanyi is already a veteran in the officialdom, and he deeply knows that Zhu Wen still doesn't believe him.At this time, the only way is to help Zhu Wen when he establishes himself as emperor, so as to show his loyalty and gain Zhu Wen's trust.Therefore, Zhang Quanyi made suggestions for Zhu Wen, and concentrated all the financial resources in the Henan area to Zhu Wen, allowing him to freely arrange and use them.In this way, Zhu Wen really believed in Zhang Quanyi, and Zhang Quanyi repeatedly expressed his thanks, saying that he was not worthy of the title of king and unable to take the position of Zhongshu Ling, which made Zhu Wen a little moved.After Zhu Wen became the emperor, Zhang Quanyi was promoted to a noble, and he was made the king of Wei, and he was appointed Henan Yin.

The Five Dynasties period was indeed the most shameless period in Chinese history. Not only did son emperors like Shi Jingtang come out, but the lives of emperors were also extremely shameless, and Zhu Wen was one of them.This Emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty, when he went to someone's house, he saw that the wife and daughter of that family were pretty, so he forced him to stay with him, and he was not ashamed.The Spring and Autumn Period was already chaotic enough. Duke Zhuang of Qi had a good relationship with the wife of the minister Cui Shu, and was killed by Cui Shu's army. At that time, people thought that the crime was deserved, but Zhu Wen openly let his wife and daughter sleep with his ministers' homes. It's okay.As a minister, Zhang Quanyi also met.What is the attitude of this all-powerful general?

Once, Zhu Wen went to Zhang Quanyi's house and lived there for several years. Zhu Wen actually asked Zhang Quanyi's wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law to sleep with him in turn. Zhang Quanyi's son was so angry that he sharpened his knife and vowed to kill Zhu Wen.But Zhang Quanyi disagreed, he tried his best to dissuade his son, and said: Zhu Wen once saved my life, let him do what he wants!In fact, Zhang Quanyi probably didn't want to repay his kindness. If he wanted to repay his kindness, he could use other methods. Why should he do this?Its purpose is to keep the official position.It can be said that people can bear the burden of humiliation so far, which can be said to be self-restraining!

In Zhu Wen's later years, Li Keyong's biggest opponent was Li Keyong, and the two factions of warlords fought endlessly. Therefore, Zhu Wen was very worried about those who held military power against his opponents, and he was also worried about a group of people who had relations with Li Keyong. Don't worry, Zhang Quanyi is one of the targets he wants to kill.Zhang Quanyi's self-rescue measures were still to show his loyalty. He gave all Luoyang's financial resources and his own family wealth to support Zhu Wen's war against Li Keyong, which made Zhu Wen calm down a little.Later, Zhang Quanyi sent his wife to the palace to intercede for him, which moved Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen asked his son to marry Zhang Quanyi's daughter as his wife to express his trust and affection for him.

After repeated wars, Li Keyong's son Li Cunxun finally defeated Hou Liang and established the Later Tang regime in 1923.Li Cunxu knew that Zhang Quanyi had handled military supplies for Zhu Wen for many years. He was very annoyed and wanted to kill his whole family.Zhang Quanyi also knew that his situation was very dangerous, so he had already prepared for it.Zhang Quanyi prepared thousands of good horses and gave them to Li Cunxun's Empress Liu. He asked her to speak for her.Later, Zhang Quanyi lost no time in expressing his loyalty. Li Cunxu's necessities for many activities were satisfactorily arranged by him, which made Li Cunxun very happy.His thoughtful and flattering approach actually moved Empress Liu, who wanted to worship him as her adoptive father.In this way, Li Cunxu still made Zhang Quanyi the Yin of Henan, appointed him as Zhongshu Ling, made him the king of Qi, and became Li Cunxu's father-in-law. Zhang Quanyi gained a firm foothold in the new dynasty.

Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty, was licentious and shameless, and he was not good at governing the country. He only knew how to use warriors and people from famous noble families, but didn't know how to use literati and talented people from common people, so he quickly declined.In Li Cunxu's later years, his adopted son Li Siyuan gradually became very powerful, and he was likely to replace Li Cunxu.At this time, Zhao Zaili launched a rebellion in Weizhou. In order to curry favor with Li Siyuan, Zhang Quanyi strongly recommended him to quell the Weizhou rebellion.Zhang Quanyi's intention was very clear. Once Li Siyuan led the army to go out, he would gain two benefits. One was to establish prestige; the other was to hold a heavy army, which would be very beneficial to usurp the throne in the future. If Li Siyuan really became the emperor.Wouldn't he become a great hero of the new dynasty again?But I didn't expect that when Li Siyuan arrived in Weizhou, he did not fight with Zhao Zaili, but joined forces with him to attack Li Cunxun, which frightened the recommender.Zhang Quanyi was afraid that Li Cunxun would kill him, so he was worried day and night, and couldn't even eat.He died of illness and hunger within a few days.At this time, Li Cunxu was also killed by his subordinates.
