Chapter 63 Chapter 62 Emperor Wu Li Xiong

In the first ten years of Jintai (274 A.D.), Luo Shi, the wife of Li Te, the leader of the Badi tribe, gave birth to a son, Li Xiong. When Li Xiong was a teenager, he was eight feet three inches tall and had a dignified appearance.When his father Li Te raised his own army in Sichuan, Li Xiong was named a former general.In the second year of Jin Tai'an (303 A.D.), Li Te died on the battlefield. Li Liu, Li Xiong's uncle, was terrified and prepared to surrender to the Jin army.Li Xiong and his uncle Li Li took turns persuading Li Liu, but Li Liu didn't listen at all.At this time, Li Li asked Li Xiong to attack the Jin army. Li Xiong said: "This plan is advisable, but what should I do if my uncle doesn't agree?" Li Li said decisively: "Coerce him to do it." Eliminated, immediately lead troops to attack Sun Fu, the prefect of Jin Jianping, and win in one fell swoop.Through this military operation, Li Liu looked at Li Xiong with admiration, and handed over all military power to Li Xiong.In September of the same year, Li Liu died of illness. Li Xiong claimed to be the governor, general, and shepherd of Yizhou.Soon, Li Xiong conquered Chengdu.

In October of the first year of Jin Yongxing (AD 304), Li Xiong proclaimed himself King of Chengdu, Jianyuan Jianxing.At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were no laws and regulations, and many ministers often fought over the position of officials.Li Xiong adopted Shangshu Lingyan's suggestion and established a system of hundreds of officials, which calmed down the farce of official disputes.Although no one competed for an official anymore, Li Xiong acquiesced that his subordinates could buy an official with gold and silver because the finances were beyond their means.As soon as the door to buy officials was opened, it was immediately discovered that there were too many disadvantages, so buying officials was strictly prohibited.In order to solve the financial crisis, Li Xiong began to pay attention to the development of agricultural production, and appropriately reduced the rent adjustment tax and labor. It was stipulated that each male should pay three dendrobiums of millet every year, females should pay half, sick people only pay a quarter, and each household should pay silk. Counting Zhang, counting two.A few years later, the strength of Dacheng Kingdom has greatly increased.

In the fourth year of Cheng Yuheng (314 A.D.), Yang Hu of Hanzhong and Zhang Xian of Liangzhou also defected to Li Xiong.As a result, Hanjia, Fuling, and Hanzhong areas also became the territory of Chengguo.This is probably the most prosperous period of Chengguo. Li Xiong had 10 sons in total, but none of them was what he wanted, so he wanted to make his nephew Li Ban the crown prince, but the ministers strongly opposed it. For the prince.In the twenty-fourth year of Cheng Yuheng (AD 334), Li Xiong had a sore on the top of his head, and pus flowed everywhere. His son felt sick after seeing it, and hid far away. Only Li Ban waited by him day and night. The mouth sucked pus for him.Li Xiong died after six days of illness. He was 61 years old and was buried in Andu Mausoleum. His posthumous title was Emperor Wu and his temple name was Taizong.
