What did Li Mi do, and why did the Wagang Army cause infighting?

In the seventh year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty (611 AD), Zhai Rang gathered the rebel forces in Wagangzhai and formed the Wagang Army to resist the Sui Dynasty. The Wagang Army was one of the early, fastest-growing and most powerful rebel armies among the peasant rebels in the last years of the Sui Dynasty. In just a few years after its establishment, it has grown to 300,000 people, which shows that its growth rate is very rapid.

In the Battle of the Late Sui Dynasty, it was precisely because the Wagang Army cut off the retreat of Emperor Yang of Sui and separated Emperor Yang of Sui from the imperial court that the Sui Dynasty was finally completely eliminated. It was such a powerful team, but in the end it went to ruin. This is because after the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, the pattern of the world has changed dramatically.

Although the Sui Dynasty fell, the remnants of the Sui Dynasty were still fighting with the Wagang Army. The situation is still very serious.

In the process of fighting Wang Shichong, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang in order to attribute Zhai Rang's team to himself. Because Zhai Rang was also a very influential figure in the Wagang Army, and he already had his own armed forces when he defected to Li Mi. Therefore, after Zhai Rang was killed, there were disagreements within the Wagang army, and there was chaos.

The former close comrades-in-arms could be killed by Li Mi for no reason, so the remaining people who had followed Li Mi from birth to death also began to panic. Everyone was suspicious of each other, resulting in the fact that the Wagang Army still existed on the surface, but in fact, the people's hearts were already in turmoil, but Li Mi did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and he provoked the war between the Wagang Army and Yu Wenhua. Although the Wagang army eventually defeated Yu Wenhua.

However, because of two successive wars, the Wagang Army has suffered a lot and its strength has been greatly weakened. At this time, Wang Shichong seized the opportunity to launch an attack on Wagangzhai, wanting to annihilate Wagangzhai on the basis.

At this time, in the face of internal and external troubles, there have been obvious differences within Wagangzhai. On the one hand, some people led by Bae In-gi proposed to win the first opportunity and win by surprise. Others advocate that there should be no war.

It is believed that the Wagang Army has experienced two major battles in succession and needs to recuperate. There is also a group of people who believe that they should face it head-on. In the end, Li Mi decided to face the enemy head-on.

But this battle made Wagangzhai completely unable to get up, because Zhai Rang's subordinates switched to Wang Shichong one after another, and the rest of the people had no confidence in Li Mi. Therefore, in the end, the infighting in the Wagang army originated from one thing, that is, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang.

Because Li Mi privately killed Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang Army, at that time. This was a great crime committed below, and later, with the attack of Wang Shijun, Li Mi's advice failed again, and the Wagang army fell apart from then on.

In fact, in the final analysis, they still suffer from inequality because they do not suffer from few, because they do not have a clear punishment mechanism within them.

Li Mi killed a leader in the Wagang army and included all his personnel in his own team, which caused a great deal of infighting within the Wagang army, causing mutual suspicion in the army. Until later centrifugation detached.

Li Mi wanted to lead his men to join the enemy, and some of his subordinates opposed him doing so, so the Wagang army would cause infighting.

Li Mi used the banquet to kill Zhai Rang, who was a virtuous man, and this induced internal strife within the Wagang Army, but Li Mi, who was quite politically skillful, was quite successful in putting this infighting to rest. The transfer of power to the Wagang Army was officially completed.

Li Mi. The destruction of Wagang is reflected in the misconduct of internal affairs, diplomatic and military mistakes, and improper governance.

1. Misconduct in internal affairs: Zhai Rang.

The forces of the people who were killed and the old department were weakened, which meant that Li Mi was in the Wagang army.

Li Mi's position was already stable, so Li Mi's personal behavior and attitude towards governance began to have a negative change, and he did not sympathize with his soldiers under Wagang, and there was no reward for the generals who had made meritorious contributions, only to treat those who had just returned to him, which led to the fact that everyone in the old department had a lot of complaints about Li Mi in their hearts.

2. Diplomatic and military mistakes: Since Li Mi entered the Wagang Army, his political road has not only been soaring, but also "heroes at home and abroad, salty to respond", and was jointly promoted by the heroes of the Quartet as the leader of the alliance. All these brilliant achievements made Li Mi begin to inflate himself, believing that he was the most powerful of all forces, so he ignored other separatist forces.

Li Yuan. Seeing that Li Mi was so conceited, he wanted to enter Guanzhong smoothly.

So he ordered Wen Daya to draft a reply letter, and adopted the method of humbly rewarding Li Mi, so that he could relax his mental defense against his own advance.

3. Improper governance: pay attention to the Eastern Capital and have no intention of outwardly, Li Mi is obsessed with occupying the Eastern Capital, and the world is easy to take as his own. As a result, the final result was that not only did he not win the Eastern Capital, but he made it even more difficult for him to open up a new game, but he missed the opportunity.

Aid Wang Shichong with rice grain.

Bartered with Wang Shichong and let the eastern capital Luoyang.

The city has rice and grain to eat, so when the eastern capital Luoyang gets grain and rice, the number of people who directly belong to Li Mi's camp decreases rapidly, and Wang Shichong's army has greatly improved its combat effectiveness, and the Sui army has more strength to confront Li Mi.

Executed by Li Yuan, he later returned to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan remembered him as an old colleague and cared for him, but he still wanted to rebel.

The life seems to be nothing, but he was shot into a hedgehog by Wang Shichong's archers.

Li Mi was beheaded by the Tang general Sheng Yanshi in Bears Ears Mountain.

Li Mi, the word Xuandi, the word Dharma Master, Jingzhao Chang'an, now Xi'an, Shaanxi, ancestral home of Xiangping, Liaodong, one of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Li Mi was born in the aristocratic family of the fourth and third dukes, and when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi became the leader of the Wagang army and was called the Duke of Wei.

Li Mi was later appeased by Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and suffered heavy losses in the orange bend due to the fight with Yu Wenhua, and was soon defeated by Wang Shichong, and led the remnants to surrender to Li Tang. Li Mi later rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and became self-reliant, and was beheaded by the Tang general Sheng Yanshi in Bears Ears Mountain, when he was Chinese New Year's Eve seven, and passed the head to Chang'an. Li Yuan sent someone to send Li Mi's head to Liyang to dig up dust and appease the rest of the department.

Xu Shichang offered Liyang to surrender and asked for Li Mi's body to be buried, which was allowed by Li Yuan. Subsequently, Xu Shiyun buried Li Mi five miles southwest of Liyang Mountain, and the tomb was seven feet high.

Leader of the late Wagang Army in the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty in China. In the ninth year of the Great Cause (613), he participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion against the Sui in Liyang (now northeast of Jun County, Henan). Xuan was defeated, and Li Mi fled.

Twelve years, he joined the Wagang Army. In October of the same year, because Li Mi persuaded Zhai Rang to meet the elite soldiers commanded by Zhang Xutuo, the Sui general Xingyangtong, and defeated the Sui army, Zhai Rang ordered him to divide the unified army. Li Mi's military orders were solemn and the rewards were generous, and the soldiers were willing to use them for him.

He suggested attacking the Xingluo (later changed to Luokou) warehouse, opening a warehouse for relief, expanding the team, and then entering the eastern capital. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Wagang Army captured Luokou Canghua and recruited hundreds of thousands of hungry people, and the uprising team grew rapidly. Li Mi was good at strategy, and gradually formed his own forces in the information department of the Wagang army.

At the beginning of the thirteenth year, Li Mi was allowed to establish the Pushan Public Enterprise. In February, Zhai Rang pushed Li Mi to proclaim the Duke of Wei in Luokou and changed the Yuan to Yongping, in order to attract anti-Sui forces from all walks of life, so Li Mi established the position of the leader of the alliance in the rebel armies from all walks of life. At this time, a fire broke out between Li Mi and Zhai Rang due to the handling of Sui officials and the distribution of military funds, and Li Mi killed Zhai Rang and hundreds of his servants.

In March of the fourteenth year, Yu Wenhua killed Emperor Yang of Sui and led more than 10 thousand people to return to the west. Huangtai ordered Li Mi to crusade against Huahe. Li Mi sent troops to the east in July to discuss Huahe.

The two armies fought fiercely at Tongshan and were defeated and walked north. Although Li Mi won, his own troops were also heavily damaged, Wang Shichong organized more than 20,000 people and horses, took the opportunity to attack, Li Mi's army was defeated, the camp was destroyed, and the generals Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie (the first name Cheng Biting Jin), Niu Jinda, etc. were captured, and Shan Xiongxin surrendered. Li Mi was desperate, so he crossed the river to Heyang in September to descend to Tang.

In November, Li Yuan sent Li Mi and others to Shandong to recruit the old department. He felt suspicious and rebelled against Tang. Tang invited Sheng Yanshi to attack and beheaded Li Mi and Xing Gongxian.
