There was actually an emperor in Jiangxi, but this emperor belonged to the peasant uprising and existed for a relatively short time, so it was not recorded. His name was Cao Shiqi.
Since childhood, he has been righteous and good at practicing martial arts
The surname of Cao Shiqi is very special, but this surname is indeed found in hundreds of surnames. It is said that this surname originally came from public office. Some people say that this surname comes from the descendants of Cao Cao. Cao Shiqi is the most famous person among the Cao surnames. He was born in a rural family in the Sui Dynasty. Born into a wealthy family, since he was a child, he liked to fight against injustices for others, so he often exercised in his spare time and sometimes practiced martial arts.
After Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, in order to build the Grand Canal and attack other countries, he recruited a large number of people from the private sector and asked them to serve the country. However, the living conditions of the people at that time were not so good. Most people were struggling desperately in dire straits, so the people began to voice uprisings.
The uprising achieved initial results and he proclaimed himself king
The first uprising was in Shandong. Wang Bo rose up in Shandong and soon caused a wave of uprisings across the country. . Under this craze, Cao Shiqi also followed the uprising. His scale expanded very quickly. Under his leadership, many people followed the pace of Cao Shiqi. Since a certain county happened to have a certain garrison strength at that time, and the people in charge of the garrison also knew a little bit about military knowledge, the defense arrangements were very thorough. However, it was obvious that the scale of the uprising had exceeded people's imagination at the time, and it was soon overturned. The peasant rebel army led by Cao Shiqi attacked. After attacking the next county, Cao Shiqi began to call himself the emperor and gave himself a title, King Yuanxing.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not well regarded by the masses at that time, and the measures he implemented were also unpopular. As the uprising across the country became larger and larger, the people led by Cao Shiqi soon After capturing Yuzhang County in Jiangxi, which is now Yuzhang County in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, this rebel army really gained the attention of the court.
The imperial court ordered a crusade, and the rebel army was destroyed
Emperor Sui Yang immediately ordered the guards around him to lead troops to crusade against Cao Shiqi, and this time the person who sent the troops was a man with experience on the battlefield. A general with many warrior experiences, his rich combat experience was almost effortless when used to deal with this group of peasant rebels. The trainer was at the forefront of the team, and he fell to the ground and died after being attacked by the Sui army. . After the failure of its uprising, the Sui Dynasty perished two years later and ushered in the Tang Dynasty. Since then, there has never been an emperor in Jiangxi.
Although Jiangxi has not produced many emperors, Jiangxi Province has produced many literary talents, such as Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Tao Yuanming, whom we all admire very much and who have made great contributions to literature. They are all from Jiangxi. So even if there is no emperor in this place, so what? The literary knowledge left to us by these talented men of letters is very valuable and is still passed down to us today.
