Beijing (北京) is the capital city of the People's Republic of China.[1]
A notable city for much of Chinese history, it was previously known as Fanyang (范陽) during the Tang dynasty, when it was also the seat of the Fanyang Commandery (范陽郡).[2] Under the Ming dynasty, it became the capital of China.[3] The headquarters of the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins was also located here in this period, for which reason, it was alternatively known as the Beijing Brotherhood.[4]
History[]
Fanyang was the base of the jiedushi An Lushan when he rebelled against the Tang in 755. After raising an army and assembling the Yeluohe, An Lushan departed from Fanyang and left the commandery under the care of Shi Siming.[2]
In the early Ming period, Fang Xiaoru trained many of the Assassins in the city, which included the parents of Li Tong. In 1402, Emperor Zhu Di, a Templar ally, ordered the execution of all those he claimed to be Assassins, with Xiaoru and Li Tong's parents counted among the dead. Though Li Tong escaped with an apprentice and an Apple of Eden, the Assassins in Beijing were eradicated.[5]
