The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 322 The Disaster Originated from Guilin

On the canopy.

The eight hundred soldiers in plain armor remained silent.

The Liuhe boots made a rustling sound as they moved through the half-human-high grass.

After crossing the hill, everyone stopped to look out.

The leading general took off his helmet and looked at the city in the distance.

"Guys, we're almost home!"

The picture freezes here.

Four black cursive characters appeared beside him.

"Pang Xun's Change"

……

[In July 868 AD, Pang Xun, the military food judge of Xuzhou, led his army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.]

……

Tang Dynasty - Wuzong Period
Li Yan sat on the stone pier motionless, and Li Deyu beside him also lowered his head and remained silent.

"Since the end of the Dazhong period, there have been rebellions year after year... for ten years."

"Prime Minister... I am helpless."

Li Deyu still didn't speak.

But Li Yan understood what Li Deyu meant.

Sometimes silence is also a form of consent.

"Come here, summon Prince Guang to the palace. I want to entertain the emperor's uncle!"

……

Tang Xuanzong period
Li Chen frowned and held his forehead.

Not to mention why his eldest son Li Yan, whom he hated, succeeded to the throne.

The series of subsequent events alone is enough to give me a headache!

Nanzhao can be appeased and delay the time first, and Pang Xun can also wait and see how to nip it in the bud... Although the Xuzhou army is difficult to deal with, it is not impossible.

The most difficult problem now is Qiu Fu’s rebellion!
What salt merchants and salt gangs are they? They are all cliques secretly supported by the local tyrants in Jianghuai!
Some of the bandits who smuggled salt were even the landlords themselves!

They withhold taxes and collect profits, can't the government get rid of them? !
But the fact is that the local warlords in the Jianghuai area are in the same boat.

If there is movement, rebellion is sure to occur.

Don't move, just sit and watch the bloodsucking.

It's not right to move, and it's not right to not move...

"Jiang Huai cannot afford to fail!"

……

[In 862 AD, because Nanzhao conquered Annan, Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the governor of Xu and Si to recruit soldiers to garrison Guilin, with a rotation every three years, to guard against Nanzhao.]

[In 865 AD, the eight hundred Xuzhou soldiers stationed in Guilin expired and requested to return to Xuzhou and Sizhou, but were rejected by the Xuzhou and Sizhou Militia Observation and Disposal Envoy.]

[In 868 AD, the soldiers of Guilin had been stationed there for six years and again requested to return to Xuzhou and Sizhou.]

【Du Ya Ya Yin Kan said to Xu Si Surveillance Commissioner Cui Yanzeng: "The treasury is empty, and the soldiers need too much money to return. I hope the soldiers stationed in Guilin can stay for another year." Cui Yanzeng accepted his advice.】

[The soldiers stationed in Guilin were eager to return home. When they heard that they had to stay there for another year, they became furious. So they killed the general Wang Zhongfu, nominated the grain judge Pang Xun as their leader, and set out on their own to return north.]

……

{To be honest, the court is clearly not in the right!}
{That's because you don't know how ruthless the Xuzhou soldiers are.}
{Back then, Wang Zhiyun was a local emperor in Xuzhou, Sizhou, Haozhou, and Suzhouzhou. He collected money and formed his own army.}
{Two thousand brave warriors were recruited and organized into seven armies: the Silver Sword Army, the Carved Flag Army, the Gate Spear Army, and the Horse Army.}
{The Silver Blade Army... the one that killed their superior over a disagreement?}

{It's not just a disagreement, it's just that you're in a bad mood so you change your boss!}
{The soldiers in Xuzhou have always been fierce, and the Jiedushi performed a song and dance for the soldiers (dog head)}
{Wei Bo Ya Bing: You said all my lines!}
{However, the Silver Blade Army was finally annihilated by Wang Shi in the name of rewarding the army.}
{So, Li Yi was also afraid of these troublemakers. There was a very meaningful sentence in the imperial edict to recruit them: "When 500 men are summoned, the army will be sent to escort them to serve."}
……

Datang.

A group of civil and military officials who had seen the world were able to see it again.

Throughout history, has there ever been a time when the imperial court sent generals to "escort" soldiers who were sent to serve at the border?

You can know a person’s heart by observing his words and actions.

In the eyes of the emperor, these Xuzhou soldiers were a scourge.

The so-called "every three years, the court will arrange other troops to rotate" is just an excuse.

As we all know, the southwest is plagued by serious miasma, and the water, soil, food, poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts can all take the lives of northern soldiers.

Three years and three years, it's obvious that they are trying to kill them!

Sad!
The Tang Dynasty viewed its soldiers as enemies, so how would the soldiers view the Tang Dynasty?
Even if this rebellion is put down, how can the vigilant and defensive heart of the court be quelled?
Li Shimin and his ministers were shocked to find that the Tang Dynasty had entered a vortex from which it could not escape.

And this vortex is tearing the Tang Dynasty apart.

……

[The Guilin army fought their way back to their hometown, looting wherever they went. No prefecture or county could resist them. In October of that year, they captured Pengcheng (the seat of Xuzhou Prefecture)]

[In the days that followed, people from all directions came to join Pang Xun, and the strength of the rebel army grew rapidly.] [Emperor Yizong of Tang mobilized troops to launch a large-scale attack, but suffered heavy casualties. Deputy commander Dai Keshi was ambushed by the rebels in Duliang and died in the battle. Almost all of his 30,000 troops were wiped out, and all weapons, food, supplies, and carriages fell into the hands of the rebels.]

[In September 869 AD, Pang Xun led an army of insurgents westward, attacked and destroyed the southern city of Songzhou, crossed the Bian River, and attacked Bozhou in the south.]

[Tang general Kang Chengxun led 80,000 infantry and cavalry, and ordered Zhuye Chixin of the Shatuo tribe to lead several thousand cavalry as the vanguard to pursue Pang Xun in Bozhou. The rebel army was defeated and the entire army was destroyed. Only a thousand people escaped alive. Pang Xun also died in this battle.]

……

Ming dynasty.

"Before Pang Xun's rebellion, the disasters caused by Tang Dynasty's vassal states were limited to the north, the disasters caused by Tubo were limited to the west, and the disasters caused by eunuchs' cliques were limited to the court."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gradually calming map of the Tang Dynasty's territory and said in a bland tone:
"If you draw a line from Xuzhou to Dingling, you can find that the Jianghuai region, which accounts for half of the Tang Dynasty's territory, remained stable before Emperor Xuanzong."

"The Guanzhong area was already unable to be self-sufficient during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, not to mention the destruction caused by the Tibetans."

"In the late Tang Dynasty, the only food transport that could be relied on was from the Yangtze River and Huai River."

"The stability of Jianghuai is the guarantee of the stability of the imperial court."

"At the end of the Dazhong period, mutinies broke out one after another in the Jianghuai area. Pang Xun and Qiu Fu were the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the Tang Dynasty."

"Actually... Emperor Yizong of Tang was also quite unlucky."

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang strangely.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the Queen Ma's gaze and explained:
"Don't look at his personal virtues such as worshipping Buddha and doting on the princess."

"He is impeccable in the deployment of troops."

"I can't say he's a wise ruler, but I can't call him a ruler who ruined his country either."

"If it were in a peaceful and prosperous era, he could only be described as a hedonistic mediocre ruler."

"Compared to the Tang Dynasty, it looks like the Emperor Huan of Han."

Queen Ma's eyes twitched.

"If the owner of this kind of enjoyment is your descendant..."

"Let's beat him to death!"

……

[On the eighth day of the first lunar month in 870 AD, Prime Minister Lu Yan and Imperial Academy Scholar Wei Baoheng impeached Kang Chengxun in front of Emperor Yizong of Tang, saying that he was slow in his campaign against Pang Xun, and after the victory, he did not completely wipe out all of Pang Xun's remnants, and that he coveted the spoils of war and failed to submit battle reports in a timely manner.]

[Emperor Yizong of Tang immediately issued an edict to demote Kang Chengxun to the position of tutor of the King of Shu, and soon afterwards demoted him to the position of Sima of Enzhou.]

……

{To be honest, if you had covered the word "Tang" in front, I would have thought his last name was Zhao!}

{This family is much faster than the Zhao family in getting rid of the donkey after it has done its job.}
{Kang Chengxun must have had problems, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by others, but he was demoted just a few months after suppressing the rebellion... Is this the attitude a dynasty should have towards its meritorious officials? No wonder the generals who followed him stood by and watched. The fall of the Tang Dynasty was not unjust.}
{There is no good reward in eliminating the enemy, so nurturing the enemy and keeping oneself healthy is the best way.}
……

Great Song.

"Brother..."

Zhao Kuangyi was a little panicked.

And Zhao Kuangyin was even more panicked!

what does it mean?

Tianmu, say something!

What does it mean that the speed of killing the donkey after it has done its work is much faster than that of the Zhao family?

Are you the Zhao family of mine? !

Why does the implication of your words make me feel so uneasy?
"Brother... the one in heaven was talking about was the Zhao family... not a specific person!"

Zhao Kuangyi tugged at Zhao Kuangyin's sleeve and pointed at the sky with a trembling voice.

If it was a specific person, it could be forgiven, after all, every dynasty has its own incompetent ruler.

But the Zhao family... doesn't this mean that everyone is like Emperor Yizong of Tang? !

……

[In March 873 AD, Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, who worshipped Buddhism, sent people to Famen Temple to receive the Buddha's finger relic.]

【A grand ceremony is held to welcome the Buddha's bones, which is very costly.】

【Ministers cited the example of Emperor Xianzong who died shortly after requesting the Buddha's bones, and gave advice one after another.】

[Tang Yizong said: "As long as I can see the Buddha's bones while I am still alive, I will have no regrets even if I die!"]

[On July 16, Emperor Yizong of Tang suddenly became seriously ill and soon entered a dying state.]

[Like his father, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Chen, Emperor Yizong of Tang did not appoint a crown prince before. ]

[Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue, the left and right lieutenants of the Shen Ce Army, selected Li Yan, the fifth son of Li Yu and the twelve-year-old Prince of Pu.]

[On July 873, AD, Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue issued an edict in the name of the emperor, announcing that Li Yan would be made the crown prince and changed his name to Li Xu.]

[On the 19th, Emperor Yizong of Tang died. He was posthumously named Emperor Ruiwen Zhaosheng Gonghuixiao and his temple name was Emperor Yizong.]

　The big one is coming.
