First, if you can't figure it out, don't call. The Anshi Rebellion was a rebellion initiated by An Lushan and Shi Siming, which ended in two people being killed and the rebels surrendering. However, although the eldest brother and the second brother are gone, the younger brothers are still very good at playing. At the same time, in order to counter-insurgency at an early date, Tang Jun did not hesitate to call on the rebels to surrender.
For example, Li Huaixian and Hetian, who got along well in "Surrender", were not just men. The warlord of Li Huaixian forced Shi Siming's eldest son, Shi Chaoyi, to die, and finally he came to the county king of the Tang Dynasty. But this buddy just closed the gate and didn't let Shi Gongzi into the city. He is the weakest in the army of Hebei Province. He basically loses every battle in the civil strife and has little prestige. Eventually overthrown by subordinates.
And Tian's life route is even more fierce. This buddy has set up an ancestral temple for An and Shi, and is honored as the "Four Saints". He also brazenly asked himself to be prime minister. On the one hand, it is to commemorate the old master, on the other hand, it is to be the deputy of the new boss. Its arrogance can be imagined. It was he who initiated the inheritance of the buffer region. From then on, our time is no longer the court's, but our own decision, so it is even more difficult for everyone to carry out separatist activities and local construction.
With these two representatives in the town, a group of rebels in Hebei can imagine what it is like. The general can still command the old headquarters, and the plaque of "Three Towns in Hebei" has been removed and the signboard of "Three Towns in Heshuo" has been hung up. This tactic of changing the gun without changing the medicine is really a helpless move, which fully embodies the incompetence of the Tang Empire itself.
Although the contradiction between the three towns of Heshuo can be big enough to bite each other, the pace of disobedience to the court is surprisingly consistent. They control the army in their hands, how to collect taxes is up to the local authorities, and it is up to them to appoint officials. Without paying tribute to the court or collecting money from it, a country within a country was formed. Because Hu and Han people live together in Heshuo area, the atmosphere is heavy on martial arts and light on literature, and local festivals simply abolish the imperial examination themselves, then the only means for ordinary people to advance is to be soldiers.
Two expeditions to the east against disobedient Tian ended in failure. Such humiliating failure triggered an endless butterfly effect, and everyone even left home without fear.
Second, after the Cold War, the reason why the Tang Dynasty established our era was because the emperor liked to expand the territory and give the frontier generals more power to operate the war machine effectively. Today, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Pinglufan Town was established in Chaoyang, Liaoning Province, which became the northeast barrier and the base camp of An Lushan and Shi Siming.
However, after the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, Pinglu area responded to the call of the imperial court and fought against the rebels. Although defeated by Shi Siming, it retained its strength. Pinglu army soldiers entered Shandong from northeast to south in two routes. Li led the recovery of Shandong, Henan and other places, and was appointed as the Minister in Huaixi. Under the leadership of Li, the other opened up the base areas behind enemy lines in Zizhou and Qingzhou. Because this part was the main force of Pinglu army, the later Ziqing buffer region was also called Pinglu.
The Pinglu Army fought against the rebellion at the risk of being blocked. Afterwards, it was found that the former rebels were not punished, but getting better and better. It's strange if they are comfortable. It's better to be independent together. In this way, Shandong and North China are linked together, essentially out of Chang 'an's control.
Third, the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion after the war completely lost the trust of the imperial military commanders, so Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others were deprived of military power after the war. The emperor handed over the command of the army to eunuchs, which was similar to the cause of the eunuch chaos in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor can only trust them in front of him.
Guo Ziyi is smart, high-profile and low-key. No matter in winter or summer, he keeps the door open all the year round in order to solve doubts. But some people are smart, others don't understand, such as Pugu Yongli.
In the process of counterinsurgency, Pu Gu Huai 'en's son took a fancy to the wife of rebel An Taiqing and robbed his tent to get close. Li Guangbi was furious at this kind of damage to his reputation. Marshal Li Guangbi did not listen to the admonition, led troops to rescue Antaiqing's wife and killed many soldiers under Pu Guhuai. Fugu said angrily, "Are you helping the rebels kill the loyalist?" It can be seen from this incident that Puguhuai's emotional intelligence really needs to be recharged.
Of course, he is not a man who ignores the overall situation. In order to use the power of Uighur, Tang Suzong married Princess Ningguo to pilger Khan, and the good thing of getting a wife for free will certainly continue to be carried forward. So Uighur Khan asked for another little son, but the emperor really didn't want to bleed any more, so he used Pugu Wynn's daughter to take the post. A few years later, Pijiake Khan died, his youngest son became Deng Lihan, Puguhuai's daughter became the queen of Uighur, and Puguhuai became the ruler of Uighur.
In the first year of Baoying, Shi Siming's eldest son colluded with Uighur in order to completely muddy the Tang Dynasty. It was Puguhuai who rode to the meeting alone as a Uighur monarch, only to dissuade 100,000 Uighur troops alone.
At the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, Fugu immediately joined the battle of defending the country in Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. In a few years, the Pugu Wynn family killed 64 people, which is full of loyalty. Such a sacrifice can not be ignored. The unfair treatment after the war made Gu Huaien, a strong-willed domestic servant, very dissatisfied.
So under the joint frame-up of eunuch luo feng and local governor Xin Yunjing, he finally pushed the servant Gu back. As mentioned earlier, this man once married his daughter to a Uighur for the sake of national stability and international friendship. Now he has colluded with Uighur, Tubo, Qiang, Tuguhun, Nuqin and other ethnic minorities for many times as the governor of Uighur. Until the first year of Yongtai, he gathered 200,000 troops to attack many times and died on the way.
Although Pu Yuhuai died, the period when he was completely blackened caused great military pressure to the Tang Empire. The imperial court was forced to reserve a large number of military buffer zones from the north to the southwest, and it was even more impossible to cancel the buffer zones for national defense security.
Because of the "example" of colleagues in the three towns of Heshuo, the buffer towns in Inner Mongolia and Sichuan also showed signs of separatism. Our local governors, even local secretaries, have never reported to Chang 'an in their whole lives.
Fourth, Kibaki, who wanted to fight the Anshi Rebellion, still occupied North China, Pinglu Army dominated Qilu, and the strength of the first-line buffer zones in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Sichuan only increased, as if only Central China and South China were at the command of the imperial court. However, things will never be so simple.
In the fourteenth year of Dali, the most powerful field died. Before he died, he appointed his adopted son Tian Yue to take his place. Tang Daizong was ill at that time, so it was natural to avoid such tiring things, so he turned a blind eye and muddled along.
Two years later, our envoy, Cheng De, died, and everyone was wondering what happened after that, and wanted to do something about "the son's stepfather's position". If this is acknowledged, then the Tang Dynasty will become the Zhou Dynasty, and the buffer region will become a vassal state. The emperor refused, and Weber, Cheng De and Qing Zi took the lead in rebellion.
At that time, the imperial court implemented the policy of "governing princes with princes". The rebels fought with the rebels in the dark, and the war spread from the hinterland of North China to East China. Our officers used beating as an excuse to upgrade themselves. At first, they were courtiers, and later they became kings.
Two years later, the court felt that the east of Tongguan had been cut off, so it had to send Jingyuan from Shanhaiguan to let Yao Lingyan lead the army to counter the rebellion. Yao's men thought that after passing through Chang 'an, a big city, their food and clothes must be of high grade, so most of them brought their families to get their hands on them.
However, no one could have imagined that the mayor of Chang 'an at that time took some porridge to fool Jingyuan's former soldiers, even without giving leaves. The officers and men who felt humiliated in front of their wives and sons quit and simply robbed the big city Chang' an. This is the "Jingyuan mutiny"
This storm played a turning point, because it was just a melee outside the customs, but now it has become a central flowering. As a result, the court lost its ability to control the local government. Finally, for the sake of the face of both sides, we can only acquiesce in the formation of separatist forces.
In this way, the number of buffer regions in the Tang Dynasty increased rapidly from 10 before the Anshi Rebellion to more than 40, which laid a very bad foundation for the separatist situation in the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries.
