Qian Liu was born in Lin'an, Hangzhou, in the late Tang Dynasty. According to legend, Qian Liu was extremely ugly when he was born. His father, Qian Kuan, thought that the boy had an unkind appearance and would bring disaster to the family when he grew up, so he planned to drown him in a well. Fortunately, Qian Liu's grandmother felt sorry for her grandson, so she saved the infant Qian Liu.
Qian Liu's performance as an adult was similar to what his father expected. He was strong and strong, but he was not engaged in production. He danced with guns and sticks all day long and traveled around the countryside. Later, in order to make money, Qian Liu started a private salt business. .At that time, the risks were similar to those of drug trafficking today.
In the later Tang Dynasty, the town of Western Zhejiang contained Wang Ying's troops and invaded the prefectures in eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang, seriously disrupting the local production and living order. With both his personal life and property under serious threat, Qian Liu's boss, Dong Chang, a local powerful man, began to form a militia to fight. Qian Liu was appointed as a partial general and participated in quelling the rebellion with Dong Chang.
After putting down Wang Ying's rebellion, both Dong Chang and Qian Liu were awarded official positions by the imperial court, and they became state cadres from then on.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and uprisings occurred one after another in various places. In the following ten years, Qian Liu followed Dong Chang to fight in eastern and western Zhejiang, and the strength of his army continued to expand.
In 895 AD, Dong Chang, who was blinded by ambition, proclaimed himself emperor in Yuezhou and established the Luoping Kingdom of Dayue. Qian Liu believed that Dong Chang's move was to attack a stone with an egg and was unwilling to follow him, so the two parted ways. Later, the imperial court named Qian Liu the governor of Zhejiang Province. Dong Dao summoned an envoy, the Prince of Pengcheng County, and ordered him to attack Dong Chang. After a year of fighting, Qian Liu defeated Dong Chang and basically controlled the two Zhejiang areas.
In 907 AD, the warlord Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the Liang Dynasty (historically known as "Hou Liang"). Chinese history entered the era of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. In the same year, Zhu Wen conferred the title of Qian Liu as King of Wuyue and concurrently as the Military Envoy of Huainan. From the theory In theory, Qian Liu became Zhu Wen's minister at this time. But in fact, the two Zhejiang and thirteen states were Qian Liu's independent kingdom.
At that time, many separatist warlords founded their own countries and proclaimed themselves emperors. Some people advised Qian Liu to proclaim himself emperor, but Qian Liu laughed and said: "These people took the initiative to sit on the stove one by one, and they even wanted to pull me up to roast me."
In 923 AD, Qian Liu was canonized as the King of Wuyue and formally established the Wuyue Kingdom. All rituals in Wuyue were in accordance with the emperor's specifications, but on the surface Qian Liu still regarded the dynasty occupying the Central Plains as Zhengshuo.
During his reign, Qian Liu adopted policies to protect the environment and the people, and the economy was prosperous. Fishing, salt, and mulberry silkworms were the most popular in the south of the Yangtze River. Scholars gathered together, talents were abundant, and literature and art were also famous in the world. He once recruited migrant workers to build the Qiantang River to protect the sea stone pond. Therefore, "Qiantang's wealth flourishes in the southeast."
In the Taihu Lake Basin, weirs and sluices were built to store floods at regular intervals without fear of droughts and floods, and a maintenance system for water network and pond areas was established. As a result, there were many fields and ponds, and the land was fertile. There is a saying that "the beauty of the fields is known when you are close to the lake." It also encouraged The expansion of cultivated land means that "there is no abandoned land within the territory", and the land is ripe and abundant every year. People in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang call it the "Sea Dragon King".
Generally speaking, Qian Miao was also an accomplished founding king.
"Ding, the seventh person, Ma Yin, has 90 commander, 96 force, 90 intelligence, 86 politics, and 86 charm.
Carrying: Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru, Liu Jianfeng, Yao Yanzhang, Li Qiong, Zhang Ji, Qin Yanhui, Zhang Tuying, Li Tang, Ma Xi, Ma Cun, Liao Guangtu.

Historically, there were really no emperors from Hunan. However, there was a Henanese who became king in Hunan. He was Ma Yin, "the most successful carpenter in history." The regime he established was called "Chu", and it was called "Nanchu" in history, or "Nanchu".
Ma Chu".
During the battle with the army, Ma Yin showed extraordinary bravery and determination. With his military exploits, he quickly gained the attention of the generals in the army. He had a characteristic in battle, which was that he did not rush blindly and act recklessly, but was brave and courageous.
Revealing a sense of stability and strategy. If divided according to general categories, he should be somewhat similar to Zhao Yun during the Three Kingdoms period, and he is a "brave and wise general".
In 892 AD, Sun Ru was unfortunately killed in battle with Yang Xingmi. At that time, the army was leaderless, and most of the soldiers chose to surrender to Yang Xingmi. The 40-year-old Ma Yin chose another path. He gathered Sun Ru's remnants, roughly seven soldiers.
More than a thousand people, following Long Xiang's command, Liu Jianfeng entered the area of present-day Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. They rested and gathered strength to continue fighting against Yang Xingmi.
In the next few years, Ma Yin followed Liu Jianfeng on various campaigns and entered what is now Hunan. During this period, in recognition of Ma Yin's military exploits, the Tang Dynasty promoted him to the rank of commander of both internal and external horse infantry armies.
AD 896 was a huge turning point in Ma Yin's life.
As Ma Yin's boss, Liu Jianfeng had some very fatal bad habits. If he was just addicted to alcohol and having fun, it would not cost him his life. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, it is understandable that he would be lustful, but with the wives and concubines of his subordinates, it is understandable.
If they hang out together, it will be a fatal flaw.
When Ma Yin led his troops to attack Shaozhou, Liu Jianfeng was caught having an affair with the wife of his general Chen Fu, and lost his life.
After unanimous recommendation by everyone, Ma Yin became the new coach to succeed Liu Jianfeng and was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Tanzhou.
After that, Ma Yin led his troops to conquer all of Hunan, the northern part of Guangzhou, the eastern part of Guizhou and most of Guangxi. This was the basic sphere of influence of the "Southern Chu Regime".
After Ma Yin became the king, he attached great importance to the selection of talents. The administration of officials within the territory was very clear and clear. This was his most brilliant point. He knew how to leverage power; in military affairs, he advocated protecting the territory and the people and never provoking trouble without authorization; in economy and agriculture
Above all, Ma Yin attached great importance to agricultural production and the planting of cash crops; not to mention culture, the capable ministers and officials he selected were all talented people who helped the world and made great contributions to the popularization of culture.
Among the heroes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Ma Yin was not eye-catching, but Ma Yin was able to carve out a world with his bare hands in troubled times, and he also had two iron brushes. Ma Yin has a moderate character, but this does not mean that he is weak; on the contrary, Ma Yin
They can also eat people, and there are quite a few of them. But cannibalism may be a natural thing in troubled times. Because if you don't take action, others will take action to kill you.
At least, in such troubled times, Ma Yin defended the land of Hunan, allowing the Chu people to have a period of peace. After Ma Yin's death, there were many sons, and the problem of seizing power still occurred. Several sons seized power from each other, and Ma Yin eventually lost power.
The inheritance acquired by Yin was given to outsiders in vain.
Perhaps Ma Yin is ordinary among the heroes in troubled times, but those who can leave a space in the history books are not ordinary.
