What happened to the "Anshi Rebellion" that broke out during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty?
The Anshi Rebellion refers to the war launched from the late years of Tang Xuanzong to the early years of Tang Daizong due to the betrayal of the Tang Dynasty generals An Lushan and Shi Siming. It was a civil war in the Tang Dynasty and a turning point in the Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline. There are many reasons for it, but there are roughly three reasons: the contradiction between the upper class and the people at the bottom, the internal contradiction between the upper class and the contradiction between the central and local separatist forces. 1. The contradiction between the upper class and the lower class people
During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, due to the accumulation of previous generations and the wisdom of Emperor Xuanzong himself, the social economy reached a new stage of prosperity, and the Kaiyuan era emerged. However, economic prosperity has also led to land annexation, which has led to many people being forced to leave their homes and migrate into exile. The land equalization system that had been implemented since the Northern Wei Dynasty was also seriously damaged. The farmers who had equal land lost their land and became refugees, suffering unspeakably. However, these tragedies were completely ignored by the upper class. As the monarch at that time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became arrogant and arrogant from the end of Kaiyuan, and lived a life of sensuality every day. Not only did he pamper Yang Guifei excessively, but Yang Guifei's family also lived a debauched life. These circumstances aggravated the stage conflicts. 2. Internal contradictions within the superior class
This contradiction was the direct cause of the Anshi Rebellion. We all know that in the late Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong became arrogant and favored Li Linfu, who had a secret sword and a secret sword. He controlled the government. For nineteen years, he eliminated dissidents and continued to cultivate his own party members. The person who succeeded him was Yang Guozhong, Yang Guifei's brother. He was even more hateful than Li Linfu. He was extremely greedy and jealous of talents. Moreover, he and An Lushan fought for power in various ways, which was also one of the fuses of the Anshi Rebellion. Traitors are in power, and conflicts within the class are deepening and becoming increasingly acute. 3. Conflicts between the central and local separatist forces
As mentioned earlier, the equalization of land system began to be destroyed during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, not only the equalization of land system, but also the long-standing military system was also destroyed, resulting in the A recruitment system had to be implemented. Since the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the border defense system has been generally established. They have very great power. They have land, people, soldiers, and financial income. This is destined to have an extremely close and inseparable relationship between soldiers under the recruitment system and local military envoys. However, the border governors stayed away from the court, and their power increased day by day. They gradually became a local separatist force, and their conflicts with the central government deepened. In the last years of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion finally broke out.
