Immigrants 7 1 1

I traveled to Zhangzhou the year before last and saw a lot on both sides of the Zhangjiang River. Holy king's palace? After the visit, I know that these temples were built in memory of Zheng Chen, Chen Yuanguang, his son and his subordinates. There is a temple in Zhangjiang dedicated to this general.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, due to the perennial war in the north, a large number of northerners were forced to move to the ignorant land of southern Fujian. In the second year of General Chapter (669), due to the escalation of the contradiction between northern immigrants and local barbarians, barbarian rebellion broke out.

This year, Zheng Chen, the father of Chen Yuanguang who returned to Germany, was appointed as the general manager of Lingnan March by Tang Gaozong and went to Minnan to put down the rebellion. Up to now, on the General Mountain in Zhangzhou, you can still see a memorial tablet engraved with the imperial edict of Tang Gaozong, the land of Sui 'an County in Zheng Chen Town. At that time, Chen Yuanguang, who was only 13 years old, also set off from Gushi, Gwangju, with about 3,600 Tang troops. ..

After Tang Jun finally entered the Fujian border, because the number of barbarians far exceeded that of Tang Jun, and the climate in the wild land was weird and hot, Tang Jun suddenly felt a little unaccustomed, and many government soldiers were even more vulnerable. General Tang Jun had no choice but to ask the court for help.

In the third year of General Zhang (670), when the imperial court reinforced the government soldiers and their families with 5,000 troops, Tang Jun, who was trapped in Jiulong Mountain, was in high spirits and even depressed for a time, and finally won the victory of pacifying the chaos.

Zheng Chen died in the second year of Yifeng (677), and his shogunate, Zuban Shenglong Hall, was located on the Mount of General. That year, Chen Yuanguang, 2 1 year-old, took the handsome national seal from his father and continued to lead Chen Jiajun to develop the barbarian land. In 688, Wu Zetian approved Chen Yuanguang's proposal to establish Zhangzhou between Quanzhou and Chaozhou. Chen Yuanguang naturally became the first secretariat of Zhangzhou, and began to rule Zhangzhou for more than 30 years, until Jingyun died the next year (7 1 1).

Zhangzhou under Chen Yuanguang vigorously introduced the Central Plains culture and implemented it? Han Chinese got married? , greatly promoted national integration. At the same time, Chen Yuanguang has made great efforts to develop Zhangzhou's economy and military affairs according to local conditions. After nearly 40 years of peaceful and stable development, Zhangzhou has gradually transformed from a wild land into a new area breathing with the Central Plains.

And Chen Yuanguang himself was posthumously praised by the later emperors, while Emperor Qianlong posthumously praised him? Zhang Kai Wang Sheng? Also put Chen Yuanguang on the altar.

Tang Shi has no biography? This is about Chen Yuanguang, not that there is no biography of Tang history. Whether it is an old Tang book or a new Tang book, the importance of biographies is relatively small. Fan Jiang was also mentioned in the biographies, but I saw that they were all senior military attaché s. When Chen Yuanguang was alive, the official was only the secretariat of a state, and Zhangzhou was the newly established Zhou Xia. If we calculate that Chen Yuanguang has the highest rank, there are only three things. I think this is where he is not written in Tang Shi.

As the jurisdiction of Chen Yuanguang, Zhangzhou was a wild place at that time. Zhangzhou, which is in a corner, is in ruins and has little communication with the Central Plains. How can such a place enter the sight of Beijing dignitaries? Therefore, the political ranking and popularity of Zhangzhou itself did not give Chen Yuanguang extra points.

What is even less well known is that Chen Yuanguang's father Zheng Chen and grandfather Chen Guoren were generals in the Sui Dynasty. Under the fresh clothes of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, what is another layer of identity that embarrassed them? Surrender to the former court? I think this status may also have some resistance to Chen Yuanguang's entry into Tang Shi.
