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 known as Fanyang (范陽) during the Tang dynasty.[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.[2]
During the early Ming period, Fang Xiaoru trained many of the Assassins in the city, which included the parents of Li Tong. In 1402, the Yongle Emperor, 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]
