Chapter 251 Chapter 250 Tiande Emperor Yanzheng

Wang Yanzheng is the Zhizi of Wang Shen and the younger brother of Jingzong Wang Xi.Jing Zongli had to pay homage to Jianzhou Jiedu envoy and was named Fusha King.Because of Wang Xi's sexual abuse, Yanzheng issued a letter of remonstrance several times, and Jing Zong raised his troops to attack each other in anger, and the brothers became enemies.In the fifth year of Yonglong's reign (943 A.D.), Wang Yanzheng proclaimed himself emperor in Jianzhou (now Jian'ou, Fujian), and his country was named Yin. Yin Guoguo was small and poor, and the extension of government after the founding of the country was no better than his younger brother.He didn't care about the power of the people, and kept fighting with neighboring countries. At the same time, he plundered the people's wealth wantonly. On the one hand, he cast big iron coins, making one coin worth a hundred coins, and on the other hand, he asked Yang Sigong to increase taxes and extort money.The people complained endlessly.

In the first month of the third year of Tiande (945 A.D.), Yanzheng conquered Fuzhou, was proclaimed King of Fujian, and changed the name of the country to Min.The ruler of the neighboring country Southern Tang saw that Fujian was in turmoil, so he took the opportunity to send troops to invade.The people of Fujian suffered from years of civil strife. The people hoped that the Tang soldiers would capture Jianzhou and kill the corrupt officials who oppressed them on their behalf, so they rushed to cut trees to clear the way to welcome the Tang soldiers.On August 13th, with the help of the Min people, Tang soldiers captured Jianzhou and captured Wang Yanzheng.After Tang soldiers entered the city, they looted Jianzhou and burned almost all the palaces and houses.It was autumn rain day and night, a scene of desolation, freezing to death and hunger on the road, and the people of Jianzhou fell into despair.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wang Yanzheng and his family were moved to Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), and Yanzheng was appointed General of Yubayashi.In the fifth year of Baoda (947 A.D.), he was renamed the Jiedu Envoy of the Anhua Army (the government governs Raozhou, now Boyang, Jiangxi), and he was conferred the title of Poyang King.In the ninth year of Baoda's reign, he moved to become the king of Guangshan, and soon the last emperor of Fujian died in dismay.Presented to the King of Fu, the posthumous title is "Gong Yi".
