ps: Brothers have given me a lot of monthly passes. I won’t list them all here to express my gratitude to everyone. The National Day is here and I have family matters, so I may have to take about three days off. I’m sorry. I also wish you all a happy National Day and a happy holiday!
What is "imitating the Warring States Period"? As the name suggests, it is to follow the example of the Warring States Period. This trend of thought is not new today, it comes from the Su Dynasty.
The Tianbao Incident was not actually put down, and the deaths of An Lushan and Shi Siming did not really bring peace to the Tang Dynasty. The so-called peace in the world after the Su Dynasty was not put down by military force, but the outcome of mutual compromise. It lasted
The war that lasted seven years and two months has not really produced any results. The Anshi clique still has a large number of troops, and the court is still unable to deal with it.
After tacit understanding and compromise, Emperor Daizong had to admit that the Anshi clique was in fact the last one. He appointed Tian Chengsi, a representative of the old generals of the Anshi clique, as the military governor of Wei Bo, Li Baochen as the military governor of Chengde, and Li Huaixian as the military governor of Lulong.
, this was the beginning of the separatist rule of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty. Weibo, Chengde and Lulong were also known as the three powerful feudal vassals in Hebei. Each of the three towns had strong troops and was independent. They still in fact maintained the land in Hebei and were the members of the Anshi Group.
Place of origin.
In other words, after eight years of brutal war, Hebei is still Hebei, and the imperial court is still the imperial court. The Anshi clique has returned to its starting point, and the imperial court is still unable to control Hebei.
From this perspective, Li Chengzhong should be one of the successors of the Anshi Group, inheriting the unfinished business of An Lushan and Shi Siming.
Coupled with Li Zhengji, who was conferred the title of Jiedu envoy of Jianqing shortly after, this was the early four-town separatist regime. Li Zhengji was also an old general of the Anshi Department, but he did not follow An Lushan and Shi Siming's rebellion. Instead, he responded to the court's call and participated in the rebellion.
Counterinsurgency war.
Therefore, if we want to analyze it carefully, the Tianbao Incident was not seven years and two months, but lasted for 150 years. The incident was divided into three stages. The first stage was when the Anshi clique attacked the imperial court and ended in failure;
The second stage was the imperial court's counterattack against Hebei controlled by the An-Shi clique, which also ended in failure; the third stage was the confrontation between the imperial court and the Hebei warriors developed by the An-Shi clique. In the end, the imperial court became increasingly unable to fight, and the counter-insurgency war collapsed.
The fire that led to the separation of the world and the separatism of feudal towns also spread from Hebei and Qingqing to the entire Tang Dynasty, and the warriors reached the pinnacle of Chinese history!
As soon as the four towns were established, they "connected with each other according to the relationship. Although they served the imperial court, they did not use its laws. Officials, titles, soldiers, taxes, punishments and killings were all done by themselves." They became a state within a state in the Tang Dynasty. Later, the imperial court
He has been focusing on conquests, hoping to restore the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty before Tianbao, but this is nothing more than a delusion.
In November of the third year of Jianzhong (782), the four towns imitated the system of the Warring States princes and established the country. At that time, they served as Chengde Jiedushi Wang Wujun, Lulong Jiedushi Zhu Tao, Wei Bo Jiedushi Tian Yue, and Ziqing Jiedushi.
Li Na was called King of Zhao, King of Ji, King of Wei and King of Qi respectively, and appointed hundreds of officials. It was called the "Rebellion of Four Towns" or "Four Kings Incident" in history. It should be noted that the four Jiedu envoys named themselves the same
The surname is Wang Jue, and at the same time, their respective royal titles also carry place names. This is no longer the normal Wang Jue in the Tang Dynasty. According to the words of the old generals of the Anshi Department at that time, this was called "following the Warring States Period"!
At that time, Li Ziqian, the judge of Lulong, Zheng Ru, the judge of Chengde, and other backbones of the An-Historical clique once said, "The four kingdoms all became kings without changing their reign names, just like in the past, the princes honored the Zhou family's Zhengshuo and built an alliance. If there is any failure to agree, all the people will be killed."
"Let's attack it together". This is to follow the practice of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period, regard the Tang Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and establish their own hereditary small courts.
"Imitating the Warring States Period", imitating the Seven Heroes and taking the Tang Dynasty as the co-leader, is its form; "The arms and legs are dependent on each other", the limbs are one body, and they jointly resist the central court, which is the basis of its continuation; "Passing the land to descendants", enjoying hereditary inheritance, no
Being restricted by the imperial court is its fundamental appeal.
The Four Kings Incident was untimely. It only lasted for less than two years. The four military governors revoked their kingships one after another under the pressure of the whole country. However, this idea was passed down and became the dream of military commanders in every town.
Long-cherished wish.
Times have changed now. The four towns' spontaneous "Following the Warring States Period" has become the consensus of the imperial court. Emperor Li Ye is ready to open the door and recognize the legitimacy of "Following the Warring States Period" in the name of the emperor, restoring the emperor Zhou's reign thousands of years ago.
As the common master, the princes of the world each occupy a system in order to continue the bloodline of the Li and Tang royal families.
The emperor's decree to confer the title of one-character king to Zhu Quanzhong in a feudal town with a foreign surname was the first step in activating the floodgates. Especially the word "Liang", it goes without saying that it means that Zhu Quanzhong's future feudal state will be in Bianzhou.
Li Chengzhong has been in this era for almost four years, and he is familiar with all these things. So when he heard Han Yanhui say that the emperor made Zhu Quanzhong the king of Liang, he couldn't help being stunned, and suddenly he seemed to have some understanding.
Is it possible that the emperor hopes to preserve the bloodline of the Tian family in this way? Zhu Quanzhong was granted the title of King of Liang, and the court recognized him as a feudal state in Bianzhou. Can such conditions prevent him from besieging Fengxiang? As a time traveler, Li Chengzhong knows the answer, and his wish is very good.
The truth is cruel!
When it comes to the title of "King of Liang", Li Chengzhong finally has a clear understanding of the age. He knows that Zhu Quanzhong established Daliang after destroying the Tang Dynasty. The time was 906 or 907 AD. Since the term "King of Liang" appeared, then it should be
The usurpation event will occur within a few years. Based on this estimate, it should be between 901 and 903 AD.
"Besides King Dongping and King Jin and Liang, who else has been granted the title?"
Han Yanhui said: "There is also Yang Xingmi in Huainan. The emperor granted him the title of King of Wu, Zhenhai, Zhendong Jiedushi, Qian Hao, King of Wuyue, and King of Jinyue."
Two more princes named after their places!
Li Chengzhong murmured, now that there are King Jin, King Qi, King Liang, King Wu, and King Yue, the system of "following the Warring States Period" in the court has begun to be established, who will be next?
Listening to Li Chengzhong's muttering, Han Yanhui couldn't help but remind him: "Don't the Marshal have an old relationship with Lieutenant Han? The Privy Councilor Zhou Jingrong who came to issue decrees in the past few months also seems to have a favorable opinion of the Marshal. At this time,
The commander-in-chief must not wait for the opportunity for the imperial court to seize the country!"
Li Chengzhong was stunned, looked at the excited Han Yanhui and asked: "You mean..."
Han Yanhui clenched his hands into fists, waved them in front of his chest uncontrollably, and said urgently: "Hebei is the land of Yan, and Yan is one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period..."
People who understand don't need to speak too clearly. Everyone will understand with just a few words. Li Chengzhong was silent, thinking secretly whether he really asked the emperor for a King Yan to play with.
"It's not appropriate, isn't it? How can anyone take the initiative to ask for a title for a minister?" After experiencing the three resignations and three concessions when he was supported as the queen, Li Chengzhong became more and more hypocritical.
For Li Chengzhong, a time traveler, it doesn't matter whether he is the King of Yan or not, but for scholars like Han Yanhui, this matter is too tempting. Once Li Chengzhong is granted the title of King of Yan, the emperor will formally issue an edict in the future to agree to "
"Following the Warring States Period", then a feudal state recognized by the emperor will be established on the land of Hebei, with Li Chengzhong as the leader, and Han Yanhui as the founding minister! This is a good thing that will go down in history. How many times can this kind of good thing happen in a lifetime?
Who doesn’t want to do good things?
"Why not?" Han Yanhui said excitedly: "Lu Longxiang is the head of the towns in Hebei. When the old commander came back, the court granted him the title of Prince of Liaodong. Together with Hedong, Xuanwu and Fengxiang, he became the world's leader. Now even Yang Xingmi in Huainan is granted the title.
After the King of Wu, how can the commander-in-chief live behind others? Commander-in-law Kuang not only controls Lulong, but also pacifies the Bohai Sea, Silla, and Khitan lands. The fertile fields outside the pass are thousands of miles away. All countries, tribes, and tribes are controlled by the commander-in-chief.
Although the commander is Zhongshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling is no longer enough to demonstrate the merits of the commander-in-chief! The emperor must reward the commander-in-chief with a king's title, otherwise where will the commander-in-chief be? Where will the millions of soldiers and civilians in Hebei be?"
Looking at Han Yanhui who was full of excitement, Li Chengzhong scratched his head and waved his hands: "Zang Ming, don't say anything anymore. I know Zang Ming's good intentions. I don't care about this matter. If the emperor really grants the title, we will accept it. If the emperor doesn't grant it, we will accept it."
, let’s not expect too much.”
Li Chengzhong neither agreed nor objected. Han Yanhui understood it immediately and planned to discuss it with Feng Dao after returning, so that the emperor could issue an edict.
Putting these things aside, Li Chengzhong changed the topic back: "Zang Ming just said that Wei Bo made some small moves regarding the Shenzhou Mutual Market?"
Han Yanhui said: "Huangfu son has always been hostile to us. In addition to the fact that the old commander massacred the city in Beizhou when he was conquering Wei Bo, he has always had wolfish ambitions towards our Lulong. From one's point of view, Huangfu son is very eager to fight.
, he wants to take advantage of the fact that the main force of Xuanwu has no time to look eastward, and seize our Lulong. The Shenzhou Mutual Market is maintained by Yuan Xiangxian with all his strength. He does not dare to attack the mutual market for the time being, but in the past two months, Wei Bobing has been in Gonggao.
, Husu, Leling and other places provoked us, made things difficult for merchants, and blocked roads. According to Li Xiaoxi's report, Youyan Security Corporation has had many conflicts with Wei Bobing stationed in Texas, resulting in more than ten casualties... In addition to Li Xiaoxi's subordinates,
During the conflict, Wei Bobing also advanced to Gonggao, Husu, Leling and other places many times to spy on and inquire about garrison intelligence... Moreover, as he had just reported to the commander, Huangfu'er had probably bypassed Yuan Xiangxian and reported to Bianzhou
It’s about the Shenzhou Mutual Market.”
Han Yanhui's analysis was spot on. In addition to the great feud between Lu Long and Wei Bo in the second year of Guanghua, he could see through Huangfu Jun's thoughts at a glance. Hebei people govern Hebei. This is not just the Lulong people's idea.
It was also the wish of the people of Weibo. As the de facto person in charge of Weibo Town, Huangfu Jun certainly had this idea, but in his heart, it was the people of Weibo who should govern Hebei.
It’s no wonder Huangfu Jun has this idea. Nowadays, Lu Long has experienced many changes and suffered repeated defeats in the past two years. Anyone would think that Lu Long is no longer as strong as he was in the past. Compared with Lu Long, Wei Bo seems to be more worthy of being the leader.
The boss of Hebei people is.
Li Chengzhong sneered and said: "It seems that our Lulong Army is just a piece of fat in the eyes of many people. Do you really want to come here and take a bite? It's okay. The Cangzhou Army and Mozhou Army have already formed an army, and the new and old members have also practiced for two days.
Months. The best drill is actual combat. Let’s try it with Wei Bo Bing and see the results of our new army’s drill. The Emperor of Chang’an and Wei Boya Bing, let’s see how this army, which is known as the best soldier in the world for a hundred years, fights!
