How fierce is Wang, a famous soldier with two guns weighing 200 Jin?

(Women who talk about history-No.938) Heroes are born in troubled times. In history, there are many heroes or heroes every time the regime changes. During the fifty years at the turn of the Tang and Song Dynasties, several small dynasties appeared on Chinese territory, which were called the Five Dynasties. At this time, the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties changed frequently, and the world was in chaos, and countless brave soldiers emerged. Li Cunxiao, one of the thirteen Taibao under Li Keyong, has always been regarded as the best soldier in the world. However, due to his short life span of only 36 years, his historical achievements are not very significant. So besides Li Cunxiao, who is the best? Who can be called the second valiant soldier in the world? Although this is controversial, the most recognized person all the time should be the person we want to talk about today. This man is not afraid of wearing shoes barefoot. He used to walk barefoot, and was considered as the same as Zhang Liao, a warrior in the Three Kingdoms, and even praised by Shi Naian, a great writer. Then the question is, since he is as famous as Zhang Liao, why is he praised by the author of Water Margin? This period is decomposed. (1) The name of the barefoot man who was not afraid to wear shoes was Wang (863-923), a wise man from Shouzhang, Yunzhou (now Yanggu, Shandong). Born in poverty, he joined the army of a generation of lean Zhu Wen in his teens. This man has boundless manpower and is famous for his bravery and good fighting skills. He made two invincible iron guns and named them "Wang Tie guns". In Zi Jian, he is described as: "Wang is very brave. He used two iron guns in each battle, each weighing 100 kg. He put them in the saddle, held them in his hand and walked on. At that time, people called it the Wang Tie gun. " And the metabolism of the Ming dynasty's "five miscellaneous" is even worse, saying that Wang's double guns are nearly 300 kilograms. This weight is four times that of the dragon crescent moon blade of Guan Yu, the God of War of the Three Kingdoms, and it is equivalent to the double hammer weight of Pei Yuanqing, the third hero of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Perhaps his statement is a little exaggerated, but it fully proves the natural power of the king. Wang is not a hollow reputation. When he joined the army, he was famous for walking barefoot. When Wang was drafted into the army, hundreds of people went with him. One day, Wang recommended himself to the chief executive and said, "I think I can be the captain of this group!" " After listening to his words, everyone refused. Who is this boy? How crazy! We all go out to play. What makes you the boss? "The king gave everyone a look and said," really? Do you want to show your unique skills? " He looked around and saw the ground not far away. It's not just some naughty boy who herded sheep who scattered a large area of thistles. These thistles are covered with needle-like spikes, which are daunting. So the king said to him, "Who dares to walk barefoot on this thistle?" None of them dared to answer. At this time, a man stood up and teased the king and said, "Why don't you try, man, just take two steps?" You dare to walk barefoot on it, I'll take it! """hey, that's what cudgel means! Don't say two steps, what's the harm of taking a hundred steps? "So the king threw his shoes away and went barefoot. He is barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes. He swished around on that thistle and walked on the ground without blinking an eye! So everyone obeyed and elected him as the captain. On this matter, Ouyang Xiu recorded it clearly in the History of the New Five Dynasties: Yan Zhang is brave and powerful, and his feet can walk a hundred steps. When Zhu Wen heard about it, he regarded Wang as a man of God, so he promoted and reused him. From then on, under the command of Zhu Wen, he fought in the north, blocked the east and killed the west, and made great achievements. (2) During the decades of Li Keyong's Five Dynasties, dynasties changed frequently, and several regimes coexisted most of the time. Everyone attacked each other and fought endlessly. At first, the most famous was the attack on Zhu Wen by the Tang Dynasty, and the other was Li Keyong, who had always refused to accept Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen abandoned the Tang Dynasty, which is known in history; And Li Keyong just wanted to restore the Tang Dynasty, so the two leaned against each other and fought to the death. Zhu Wen was once a member of Huang Chao, the leader of the rebel army. Later, he betrayed Huang Chao, voted for the Tang Dynasty, and then destroyed the Tang Dynasty, which was no small matter. Zhu Wen was able to destroy the Tang Dynasty, which was actually related to Li Keyong. It was Li Keyong, a Shatuo, who sent his troops to Chang 'an and drove away Huang Chao, so Li Keyong's strength was not better than Zhu Qiang's. In fact, Li Keyong was more talented at that time. If nothing else, he was later called a group of semes of the Thirteen Pacific Insurance, and they were all first-class soldiers at that time. In contrast, Zhu Wen's stars are not many, but not many, in essence. Zhu Wenyou is a famous star like Wang, which also makes Li Keyong fear three points. Li Keyong also appreciates Wang Zhangyan and wants to accept it. However, Wang, who was loyal to Zhu Wen, didn't buy it at all. In order to defend Liang's country, he will fight Li Keyong to the end. Zhu Wen, with the help of Wang and others, was once a megatron, and it is very likely to dominate the whole country. Unfortunately, there is no successor. After his death, his sons Zhu and Zhu Youzhen successively became emperors, but both of them were extremely groggy. Think that year (908), Zhu Wen and Li Keyong fought in Luzhou, and Li Keyong died. Zhu Wen laughed and thought the world was in the bag! As a result, Li Keyong's son, Li Jiwei, continued to fight and finally defeated Liang Jun. As a result, Zhu Wen, like Cao Cao of that year, was filled with emotion: "Give birth to a child like Li Yazi! Although Li Keyong is still alive! " Li Yazi is Li's nickname. Zhu Wen went on to say that his son is as timid as a pig and as timid as a dog compared with Li. Zhu Wen died four years after Li Keyong's death, that is, 9 12 years. He was assassinated by his son. After that, Wang was stirred by these two pigs and dogs, so naturally there was nothing to eat. In March of 9 15, the court divided Weizhou into two parts and sent Wang to Yecheng to prevent local rebellion. Since the An Shi Rebellion, the Weber area has been in turmoil. Later, Zhu Wen managed to settle there, but after his death, the people of Weizhou were ready to move again. So the court asked the king to guard, but the court only sent him 500 soldiers. What's the use? Weizhou people really launched a rebellion, and Liang surrendered to Jin (the predecessor of the later Tang Dynasty). Wang's strength is too small. After the army was attacked, he led the army to withdraw south, and his family had no time to take it away, so he was captured by 8 Jin Army. Because Li appreciates Wang's courage and wants to have him, he treats his family well. However, Wang was unmoved. Immediately beheaded Li Pai's emissary and swore allegiance to the Back Beam. After the fall of Weizhou, he fought with Jin Jun from time to time on both sides of the Yellow River, and Wang often acted as a pioneer. (3) Wang defeated Li in three days. In the first month of 920, Wang became the ambassador to Xuzhou Kuang, with the title of "Hou of the founding of the People's Republic of China", and later became the deputy ambassador of the Northern Camp. 92 1 the first month was changed to a sliding state. At this time, Jin Jun has occupied all the areas on the north bank of the Yellow River, and set iron locks at Deshengkou to cut off the navigation channel, build a city across the river, and establish two cities, north and south, ready to attack the south bank of the Yellow River on a large scale and destroy the Liang Dynasty. At this time, Zhao Yan, Zhang Hanjie and other treacherous court officials took control of the court affairs in Houliang. Encouraged by them, Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor of the Back Liang Dynasty, alienated the senior British King. In 923, Li Jianli later Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of April, the army of the later Tang Dynasty captured Yunzhou. The court in Hou Liang was in a panic. Prime Minister Jing Xiang wrote a letter and appointed Wang to lead troops to defend the enemy. But Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor of the Liang Dynasty, did not allow it. Finally, with Jing Xiang threatening suicide, Zhu Youzhen began to use Wang. Therefore, Wang was appointed as the envoy to the north and Duan Ning as the deputy envoy. After regaining military power, Wang was ambitious. He told the later emperor that Li's army could be defeated in three days! Zhao Yan and Zhang Hanjie laughed unconsciously after hearing this. They think that Wang has become an old man, and they dare to make such wild remarks, waiting for a joke. Wang was furious, thinking that Zhao Yan and others corrupted the state affairs and brought disaster to the country and people, which made the Liang Dynasty face such a crisis. Before leaving, he said to his men, "When I win, I will kill this thief!" " This word reached the ears of Zhao Yan, Zhang Hanjie and others. They were also afraid, so they colluded with Duan Ning, the deputy commander of the king, and tried their best to obstruct the king's military action, prevent him from making contributions to the country, and even wanted to get rid of the king by the hand of an enemy. Soldiers are expensive and fast. Wang left the imperial court, and two days later, he led his army to slip through the state. He secretly sent 600 elite soldiers, armed with sharp axes, to Deshengkou by clipper, burned the chain that Li set up to intercept the river on the Yellow River, and cut off the pontoon bridge with a sharp axe. Then, the king led thousands of people and quickly broke through the building in Li. At this time, it was just three days before Wang sent troops. At that time, when Li learned that he was put into use by Wang, he thought he would attack Deshengkou and immediately led cavalry reinforcements, but when he arrived, he was captured by Wang. ? Li had no choice but to tear down the northern city, build a raft and retreat (now Dong 'e, Shandong Province). Since then, the two sides have fought against the king across the Yellow River for hundreds of times, regardless of the outcome. Wang is never afraid of Li. When his subordinates mention Li, he always says, "Li Yazi is a cockfighting child. Why are you afraid? " ? It was said that the king led his troops to attack, and the battle lasted about February. But at this time, the backyard of Hou Liang court caught fire again. Under the control of the traitor, the court summoned Wang and appointed Duan Ning to take his place. Duan Ning paid bribes to the court, conspired with Zhao Yan and others, concealed Wang's exploits from Liang Wudi, and framed him for drinking and underestimating his enemy. Therefore, Duan Ning took over the relieving power instead of Wang. After Wang was relieved of his military power and returned to the capital of song dynasty, Zhao Yan and others impeached him for "disrespecting the emperor", being arrogant and underestimating his enemy, and drove him out of the court and stayed at home. (4) After the leopard dies, it is better to die than to surrender. Later, the army of the Tang Dynasty attacked Houliang again on a large scale. Li avoided the main force and only took Yanzhou, threatening the capital of song dynasty. In a panic, Zhu Youzhen once again used veteran Wang to meet the enemy. However, at this time, the main force of Houliang went out with Duan Ning, and the court could only hand over the remaining 500 new cavalry in the capital of song dynasty to Wang. In spite of this, it was not at ease with him, and it also appointed treacherous court official Zhang Hanjie as the army. Wang led 500 people across Wenshui, intending to attack Yunzhou, but was attacked by the army of the later Tang Dynasty in the town. The king was defeated and retreated to Zhongdu. Li led the army to Zhongdu to fight the king. Because of the disparity in strength, Wang was stabbed to death by Xia, a famous soldier under Tang Jun Li Siyuan. Li longed for the name of Wang and wanted to surrender him, but he was rejected. So Li sent Li Si, who knew Wang well, away to persuade him. Wang can't get up and walk because of injury. When Li Siyuan went to Wang's bedside, Wang called him a liar and scolded him away. Finally, Wang Ning, a 6 1 year-old veteran, refused to surrender and was beheaded by Li. Wang died for his country, and his righteous deeds won the praise of later generations. For example, Ouyang Xiu spoke highly of him: "Alas, this world has been evil for a long time! "However, those who are born at the right time cannot be ministers because of the misfortune of scholars, and those who eat people's wealth will die, such as Yan Zhang, which can be described as their death! There is also an idiom related to Wang. It is recorded in the Biography of the New Five Dynasties that Yan Zhangwu is an ignorant person, and is often quoted as saying: "A leopard leaves its skin when it dies, and a man leaves its name when it dies. ""(5) one person fights five dragons; Together with Zhang Liao, Zhenfu, Wang and Jin Yong, they are called the second valiant soldier in the Five Dynasties. In fact, it is described in the Romance of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. According to the book, he even beat 36 generals of Tang, forcing Tang Jun to use five dragons and two tigers, plus 100,000 troops under the command of Shi Jiantang. Both sides killed for three days and nights. The "two tigers" among the five dragons and two tigers are Zhou Yang and Gao Xingzhou. Zhou Yang is the father of Yang Jiajiang famous Yang Jiye, and Gao Xingzhou is the son of Gao Siji, the world's first gun in the Five Dynasties. The Five Dragons are the later five emperors, namely, the two emperors Li and Li Siyuan in the later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingtang in the later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan in the later Han Dynasty and Guo Wei in the later Zhou Dynasty. The legend of the king fighting the Five Dragons or the Five Kings alone is also reflected in a poem. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the poet once wrote a poem for Wang: Don't let Kun return, fight for survival alone. The girder can only be extended for three days, and one horse can still defeat five kings. Who knew there was Feng Dao in the world? Fortunately, he met Ouyang behind him. A thousand-year-old leopard dies, leaving its skin behind and breaking its tomb around an iron gun. This poem expresses his infinite admiration for Wang. Among them, "Five Kings" refers to five people who later became emperors: Li, Li Siyuan, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan and Guo Wei. Besides romance and folklore, Wang is also highly respected in the official history. For example, Ouyang Xiu praised him many times in the history books: the battle of Jin and Liang was victorious, and there were countless brave generals! However, Jin people are afraid of being alone. Gong You is good at using a gun. At that time, he was named "Wang Tie Gun" and held an iron gun. He rides like a flying horse, and others can't lift it. In the Song Dynasty, Hui Hongjuefan, a good friend of Su Dongpo and a famous Zen master, compared Wang with the famous Zhang Liao of the Three Kingdoms: "General Zhang Liao of Wei and General Wang are both famous. At that time, the children cried, and his mother called their names, but the children stopped crying. " This shows the king's reputation among the people. Wang was revered by people of all ages, and later generations even built temples to worship him. For example, there were many iron gun temples in the Song Dynasty, in which kings were enshrined. His heroic deeds spread widely, and even influenced later great writer Shi Naian and modern famous writer Mr. Jin Yong. In Jin Yong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes, there was a mention of the Iron Gun Temple outside Hangzhou, where a general with an iron gun was enshrined, that is, Wang. Yang Kang, who recognized the thief as his father, died in this temple; Later, his son Yang Guo also came to the temple, realized the avenue and finally became a hero. Wang was highly praised. Shi Naian designed such a plot in Water Margin. Zhang Qing, who had no arrow, fought against Liangshan heroes and wounded 15 generals with flying stones. Wu Yong, a military adviser, said with emotion, "I heard that in the Five Dynasties, the king was the main beam, but the sun never moved, even hitting 36 generals in the Tang Dynasty ..." He praised and said that bravery was not under the king. Wu Yong, the character in the book, praised the king, which fully reflected his admiration for him.
