Why did Pan Renmei, a loyal minister and a good soldier in history, become Yang Jiajiang's sworn enemy?

Yang Jiajiang is a famous legendary family in China, and a family of military commanders in the Northern Song Dynasty. They are loyal to the world and are exemplary. In modern times, there have been many films, literary works and artistic works about Yang Jiajiang.

In the folk stories about Yang Jiajiang, there is also a villain. This man is treacherous and treacherous, and he is a traitor to North Korea. He killed Zhongliang many times, forcing Yang Jiajiang to be cornered. According to word of mouth, this man committed a heinous crime, comparable to Qin Gui.

This man is the "Pan Renmei" in literary works. Historically, his prototype was Pan Mei.

So, Pan Mei in history is so unbearable and treacherous? Today, we will talk about the wronged Pan Mei, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Pan Mei was the founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty in history. He helped Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu to establish a country, and later assisted Zhao Guangyi, Song Taizong. He has always been loyal to the army and served as a Korean civil servant.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the talented Pan Mei made great contributions to the unification of the world. He led the troops to destroy the southern Han Dynasty and conquered the north. He was an old general in the Song army.

Besides, Pan Mei is very cautious. According to historical records, Pan Mei "was prepared for danger in times of peace, but he could not bear to be stung by insects. He went to Wuyue, gave it privately, gave it to charity, and left no money; It is always a feature. If you don't commit crimes in autumn, you won't kill one person. "

That is to say, Pan Mei usually has a kind heart and can't bear to kill people. He is a diplomat, honest and clean, and not corrupt, but his army pays attention to reality and doesn't kill indiscriminately. To put it simply, Pan Mei in history was a gentle, cautious, incorruptible and steady person.

Then we have a question, why will such a person become a big traitor in the eyes of future generations?

It should be said that Pan Mei's notoriety is closely related to one person, that is, Yang Ye, his ancestor, and Yang Gongling in the novel The Biography of Yang Jiajiang.

Yang Ye, a famous soldier in the Northern Han Dynasty, was called "Invincible Yang". After he took refuge in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was entrusted with an important task and followed Pan Mei's Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom of Qidan. In the battle, Song Jun was at a disadvantage and was forced to retreat across the board.

At this time, the prison army Liu Wenyu and Wang Shu let Yang Ye fight alone, and Yang Ye had to comply. Before he left, Yang Ye told Pan Mei to arrange troops to meet him at Taniguchi, and Pan Mei agreed at that time.

However, after the war, Liu Wenyu and Wang Shu led troops to leave Taniguchi to compete for trophies, so as to establish meritorious service. Pan Mei couldn't stop them. When Yang Ye arrived at Taniguchi exhausted, he found no one there. Yang Ye sighed, then was captured, and Yang Ye bowed to death.

After the war, Song Taizong exiled Liu Wenyu and Wang Shu, deprived Pan Mei of his title and demoted him.

Although Yang Ye's death was related to Pan Mei, Pan Mei did not bear the main responsibility. Although Pan Mei was a general of the marked army at that time, the military system in the Northern Song Dynasty decided that he actually had no military power, and the military power was controlled by Liu Wenyu and Wang Shu, which is why Pan Mei could not control them. Judging from Song Taizong's later handling, we can also see who is the primary responsibility and who is the secondary responsibility.

Pan Mei had always been a positive role before Jiajing period in Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the novel Biography of Yang Jiajiang came out during Jiajing period that his negative image of framing Yang Jiajiang began to take shape and gradually became popular.

In fact, in history, Pan Mei undoubtedly surpassed the so-called Yang Jiajiang. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Han, Feng Yi and Song Ruoyi, who are always good, can worship in the temple."

It can be seen that Pan Mei took the blame and became another great hero discredited by literary works.
