Is the decline of the Tang Dynasty just an Anshi Rebellion?

On February 6, 65438+ 755 AD, An Lushan, who was also a john young, Pinglu and Hedong, took advantage of the emptiness and corruption of the Tang Dynasty to unite with 15000 soldiers of Tongluo, Xi, Qidan, Shiwei and Turkic nationalities, claiming to be 200,000, taking "worrying about the country and serving a secret imperial edict" as his goal.

At that time, the Tang dynasty lasted for a long time, with swords and guns in storage and horses in Nanshan, and the people were ignored in the war. Hebei county collapsed immediately, and the local county magistrate either fled or surrendered. It took only 35 days for An Lushan to March from Fanyang and capture Luoyang, the eastern capital, on 1 22. In a short time, most counties in Hebei were controlled, and some counties in Henan also surrendered.

On the first day of the first month of Tianbao 15, An Lushan was called Dayan Emperor in Luoyang and changed to Wu Sheng.

Under the leadership of Guo Ziyi, the God of War, after eight years of arduous civil war, the Anshi Rebellion was finally put down, but the powerful Tang Dynasty is gone forever. Since then, "disasters and chaos have followed, military revolutions have continued, and people's profligacy has been out of control for more than 200 years."

Any disaster in the history of China has two characteristics: first, it is the upper-level chaos that leads to the lower-level chaos; Second, they are all man-made disasters and have nothing to do with natural disasters.

During Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty, although there was a "prosperous time of Kaiyuan", it was the continuation of Zhenguan rule and the result of Xuanzong's persistence. In fact, under the cloak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Shi Sheng, the internal organs have begun to rot.

Xuanzong enjoyed the achievements of his predecessor, without innovation or rectification. On the contrary, serious neglect of politics led to a series of low-level mistakes, which led to the disintegration of the country and the loss of people's hearts.

Xuanzong handed over the state affairs to Li and Yang successively, and he indulged himself in the harem.

Li is a "duplicity" traitor. He enjoyed exclusive power 19 years, put an end to words and refused loyalty. After Yang succeeded to the throne, he only knew how to plunder the people's wealth, so that the clique was in power, the state affairs were absent, and the state affairs were corrupt, which gave the aspirant an opportunity.

During Xuanzong period, due to the accelerated development of feudal economy, wealth was concentrated in a few people. Land resources were plundered by dignitaries and their relatives, which destroyed the equal land system. Nearly half of the farmers lost their land and became refugees. These refugees who have no livelihood have become the main factors of social unrest, and also provide soldiers for careerists.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, militaristic and constantly exploring the frontier. He moved the conquered Hu people to the Central Plains and mingled with the Han people. There are many contradictions between Han and Hu due to the great differences in culture and habits. These "Hu immigrants" have also become one of the main factors of social unrest.

During the Xuanzong period, in order to please Xuanzong, Li said that "there are no sages in the wild", and the promotion of soldiers was completely blocked. Yang is a relative and has promoted old friends and relatives. Yang's henchmen spread all over the world, and all the sons of the world became "ronins".

The "government military system" established in the early Tang Dynasty can effectively control the army and defend the capital. However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty personally destroyed it and set up "military and political envoys" in the border areas, thus forming a "buffer town" situation in which Enemy at the Gates died unsatisfied, destroying the Great Wall and digging its own grave.

Tang Xuanzong doted on Yang Guifei and was in a daze, leaving all the Li family possessions and Shan Ye in the care of his uncles and aunts. Even Prince Hengli was cornered, and his situation was in jeopardy. Officials and scholars with a little brains are indignant and full of complaints.

An Lushan, a self-respecting careerist, knew all about the corruption in the Tang Dynasty. He believes that Li Jiangshan is in a precarious situation and can be overthrown with a little effort. Therefore, he started fighting in Fanyang under the pretext of "worrying about the country and the people, and secretly ordering Yang to be punished". As expected, An Lushan swept most of China in a very short time, quickly occupied two Beijings, and ascended the throne of Dayan Emperor.

An Lushan rewrote the history of China! The history of China is always rewritten by careerists.
