Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 83 Anshi Rebellion, China Disaster

The inventory video above the sky continued to play:

[An Lushan, the Jiedu envoy of the three towns weighing nearly three hundred catties, set off this catastrophe, also known as the Anshi Rebellion, under the slogan of serving a secret edict to attack Yang Guozhong on the side of the Qing emperor. 】

[The Anshi Rebellion was more harmful to China than the shame of Jingkang. 】

[For an eternal sinner like An Lushan, any so-called positive comments and his verdict. 】

[They are all a betrayal of the tens of millions of Chinese people who died in this huge catastrophe caused by the rebels. 】

[Although the Anshi Rebellion only existed for eight years, the damage and losses it caused are immeasurable. 】

[The Anshi Rebellion was the turning point of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperous Tang Dynasty fell to the altar, and it was also the transformation of the Tang Dynasty from an open empire to a restrained country. 】

[From a more macro perspective, this is a turning point for the entire China. 】

[The sixth of the Tang Dynasty, the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji was in power, and the national power of the Tang Dynasty almost reached its peak. 】

[In the 13th year of Tianbao, the household registration statistics of the Tang Dynasty were about 200 million. 】

[If you count hermits, tenant farmers, slaves, monks, etc. and do not count the crowd, this number may rise further. 】

[And after the Anshi Rebellion, the people of Datang lost their lives in this catastrophe, tens of millions. 】

[After the war subsided, the population of the Tang Dynasty was probably less than 3000 million!The loss rate of Huaxia's sons and daughters exceeded two-thirds. 】

[Tens of millions of families fell apart, wearing sackcloth and filial piety. 】

[You must know that population is the foundation of all wealth. Without population, there is not enough taxation, and Datang's finances are naturally stretched! 】

[During the Anshi Rebellion, the houses were destroyed, there was no one in ten, the war was raging, the sun was invisible, the world was in turmoil, and thousands of miles of famine. 】

[Luoyang is surrounded by hundreds of miles of prefectures and counties, all of which are Qiuxu. 】

[Ru, Zheng and other prefectures are full of houses, and people all use paper as their clothing]

[If I borrow Cao Aman's words to evaluate, it is that the bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles, and one hundred people are left alone, and the thought is heartbreaking]

[As the saying goes, I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world. 】

[In troubled times, human life is humble. 】

[Countless Chinese people have become innocent victims of the war. 】

[How cruel were the rebels in the Anshi Rebellion? 】

[As the commander-in-chief, An Lushan has a cruel personality, and he whips his subordinates when he moves. 】

[An Lushan's subordinates are even stronger than him. 】

[Where the rebels went, not a single blade of grass grew. 】

[The property of the common people in the Tang Dynasty was wiped out, and most of the men were slaves, most of the women were raped and humiliated, the old, the weak, the sick, and even young children were not spared. 】

[Massacres are also common. 】

[An Lushan's subordinate Shi Siming was also extremely cruel, and he did not know how many cities he slaughtered. 】

[Attack and kill each other in Fanyang City, every four or five, thousands of dead, the battles are all in the squares, cities, and alleys. 】

[Even Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was not spared, and was attacked by rebels many times, and the people who occupied Chang'an were not only the rebels led by An Lushan, but also troops from the former friendly state of Tubo. 】

[For a while, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was like a purgatory on earth, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and mountains of broken limbs. 】

[Following the sudden rebellion within the Tang Dynasty, Gao Xianzhi was forced to return to the country with the frontier army to suppress the rebellion, and the Western Regions were lost since then. Tubo took the opportunity to replace the power vacuum of the Tang Empire, once controlled Dunhuang, and threatened Chang'an!From now on, the giant Tang will perish, and the empire will be ordinary in the end. 】

[After the Anshi Rebellion was pacified, the central government of the Tang Dynasty had very little ability to control the localities. In the northern region, due to the numerous towns, very few obeyed the orders of the central government. The power of Jiedushi was comparable to that of a prince. Fortunately, Jiedu envoys in the southeastern region still obey the central government, so the court will not starve to death. 】

[The Tang Dynasty lost control over various border areas, and the Jiedu envoys in various places supported their own self-respect, so that the Tang Dynasty could no longer control it. 】

[The Anshi Rebellion almost exhausted everything in the Tang Dynasty. In the face of powerful foreign enemies, there were powerful Tubo tribes in the west and Khitans in the east. 】

[Under the consumption of such ebb and flow, the Tang Dynasty can only live in one side and try its best to control the situation. 】

[Due to the huge loss of population, the tax base has been greatly reduced, and the imperial court is unable to make ends meet. Therefore, in order to alleviate financial difficulties, the imperial court began to "stretch for money" in a different way. Whose money is it asking for?Of course, only the exploitation of ordinary people. 】

[The imperial court tried every means to collect money from the people and increase taxes. At the beginning, it formulated a salt law, and the government monopolized the sale and purchase of salt to make profits from it. method to collect money; after that, Prime Minister Yang Yan implemented the two-tax law, which exploited the people even more]

[This series of operations greatly deepened the conflict between the court and ordinary people, causing farmers to stand up and resist, and this series of peasant uprisings once again weakened the power of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[On the spiritual level, it led to the serious Huhuaization of the Han people. In the case of the decline of the national power of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions to the Hexi Corridor were all invaded by Tubo, and many Han people were enslaved by them. Influenced by Tubo culture, many new Han people Young people can only speak Huyu but not Chinese. 】

[There was a poem describing the scene at that time like this: "Han children are full of Hu'er language, but scolding Han people at the top of the city." This is actually another strategy of the Tubo people to invade the Han Dynasty. There is another saying in modern times—— Culture invasion. 】

[The Western Regions have also buried security risks since then. Huaxia’s control of the Western Regions can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and the control was even more severe in the Tang Dynasty. No, this will lead to a "frontier crisis" in later generations, which is exactly the collision and confrontation of two different cultures. 】

[On the surface, the Anshi Rebellion lasted only a few years, it was just an ordinary war, and it didn't seem like a big deal. 】

[However, its impact on the future generations of China is equally huge, but this impact is negative. 】

[The spiritual crisis of the Chinese children in later generations can be traced back to this. Introverted, closed, conservative, humble, and polite have become standard features, and bloody, publicity, openness, self-confidence, and tolerance in the bones have become hidden attributes that are difficult to see. 】

[Although it is impossible to determine which is better, if a dynasty wants to rise, if its thinking is not advanced, it may only exist in reverie like a castle in the air. 】

[After the Anshi Rebellion, people became mentally imprisoned and timid. 】

【Why do you say that?Just look at Da Song and you will know. 】

[The Great Tang's emphasis on martial arts led to the entanglement of all forces, and finally the chaos in all directions, and the demise of the Tang Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty did the opposite, emphasizing literature and despising military affairs, and this approach led to the extremely backward strength of the Song Dynasty's army. Although it had a lot of money, But I can't keep it. 】

[The harm brought about by the Anshi Rebellion is comprehensive, and it is enough to be classified as a historical phenomenon that changed the course of China. 】

[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji favored treacherous ministers and ministers, ignored the government and ordered the country to collapse, and repeatedly made stupid moves when suppressing the Anshi Rebellion, destroying himself. 】

[And Li Longji's son, Li Heng, was fatuous and incompetent, and did bad things many times, which led to the continuation of the war, and left the root of the separatist rule of the town, and the formation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was also inseparable from it. 】

[This eternal crime, he Li Longji cannot escape responsibility. 】

"Damn things!"

At this time, Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace was extremely angry.

At this moment he wants to kill.

"Anlu Mountain! Shi Siming!"

"These two bastards should be cut to death!"

"It turned my Tang Dynasty into such a disaster!"

"Also, this is Li Longji!"

"Why such a waste?"

"How dare such a traitor be trusted?"

"How many times have I said that the key to politics is to win people."

"Using the wrong person has brought my Tang Dynasty to such a point where there is no redemption!"

"Why doesn't this thing die sooner!"

Li Shimin was furious.

The usually gentle and gentle Empress Changsun couldn't hide her anger.

Two-thirds of the Tang people died in the disaster?
What a scary number.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this Li Longji should die sooner. If he dies earlier, perhaps these disasters will not happen."

----

Great Song.

"An Shi Rebellion!"

"It not only harmed Datang, but also harmed me, Da Song!"

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin expressed his feelings.

"Jiedu envoys are too tyrannical, it's too hateful, if it weren't for this, how could I have made a decision to emphasize culture and suppress military?"

"I didn't expect this decision to make me so useless in the descendants of the Song Dynasty."

"This is really a chain!"

"This An Lushan, this trash Li Longji, deserve to die!"

The emperors of various parallel dynasties were also silent.

They watched the stocktaking video, feeling very unhappy.

In their view, this catastrophe is not only the catastrophe of the Tang Dynasty, but also the catastrophe of the entire China.

At this time, they only had one idea in common, that is to kill An Lushan and let Li Longji die decades earlier.
