After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty, which had once flourished and was mighty, suddenly seemed to have been broken by someone, creeping in the whirlpool of the division of the feudal town, and fell deeper and deeper, which made many Tang fans extremely heartbroken. Since the Huangchao Rebellion, the division of the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty, like the spread of advanced cancer cells to the whole body, has triggered another dark history comparable to the "Five Hu Chaohua", and to a certain extent, led to congenital deficiencies after the establishment of the Song Empire.
For the Chinese nation, which has deeply penetrated the great unification into the marrow, it has always been deeply resentful, and people from all walks of life have starred in offering advice, how should Datang end the division of the feudal town and restore the glory of the past. One of the suggestions, which is often mentioned, is that it is also an internal division and division, why did the Tang Dynasty not emulate Emperor Wu of Han and adopt the strongest Yang plot to push the grace order.
Look at the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first succeeded to the throne, the country was also a dark tide, the princely states, dozens of cities, thousands of miles in the localities, and the princes were arrogant and extravagant, often disobeying the central government's decrees, seriously threatening the consolidation of centralized power. Isn't this similar in form to the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion? But Emperor Wu of Han was smart, and as soon as the Tuien Order came out, between the jokes, those princely states that committed rebellion, one after another, collapsed, and the Great Han Empire effortlessly won the ultimate victory in the battle of cutting the domain. History has long eloquently proved that the Tuien Order, taking advantage of the weakness of human nature, can be called the strongest conspiracy in history, and the operation is ready-made, why can't Datang even copy it?
The genius-like idea of the Qi people's main father, the Tuien Order, was praised by later generations as the strongest Yang conspiracy in history, and it was said that once this order was issued, the world had no solution. This decree changed the original stipulation that the rights of the princely states could only be inherited by the eldest son of the concubine, to the inheritance of the eldest son and the second son and many people respectively, and on the surface it seemed that the emperor surrendered to the princely states, but in fact, this division, with the passage of time, the princely states will become smaller and smaller, the more dispersed the power, and the central government can continue to use various excuses to weaken and reclaim the rights of the original princely states. Can the princely states resist? Sons' legitimate struggle for power, the weakness of human nature, they can't help it if they want to. We can only watch as the kingdom continues to weaken.
However, the implementation of the Tuien Order is premised, and the series of combination punches that have lasted for many years are not a whim. We can think about it, since the Tuien Order is so powerful, so Emperor Wen does not use it, and Emperor Jing does not use it, instead of waiting until the time of Emperor Wu of Han. Was it really because Emperor Wu had a great talent and wanted to get such a clever method? No, as early as the time of Emperor Wen, The Great Confucian Jiayi mentioned a similar strategy in the "Public Security Policy" that "the princes were built and their strength was weakened", and Emperor Wen Jingdi could also be regarded as a heroic and talented person, because they did not expect it and Emperor Wu of Han wanted to get it?
The answer is no! The effect of the tuying order is extremely amazing, this is certain, but you have to implement it, right? As soon as you push the favor, the princely states obediently accept it? Your internal and external conditions are ripe, take Emperor Wen as an example, after Lü Hou's death, the princely states united to oppose Lü Yingliu, gathered under the banner of rectifying chaos, united with the ministers headed by Chen Ping, and finally after some compromise, emperor Wen was put on the front page, Emperor Wen took over the unification as Liu Bang's concubine, the strength was weak, the land of Chang'an could not be effective, he may have thought about cutting the domain, but consolidating his own rule was the top priority. To this end, he also adopted a series of measures, the princes all took the country, so that he could control the situation in Chang'an; the second was that when there were major disputes between the princely states, he saw the needle and inserted some divisions; the third was to cultivate himself, constantly train the army, and enhance his own strength. The fourth is to put his brother in the domain of Liang guo, forming a barrier to guard the center. At this time, can we carry out the edict of grace and weaken the princes? It can be said that even if there is a heart, it is powerless, and it is already good to ensure their own safety and provide a good time for the economy and society to recuperate.
He can't solve this problem, but he wants to create conditions for his descendants, future generations, to solve this problem. We can see that in the era of Emperor Jing, the strength of the central government of the Han Dynasty has grown by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, the rebellious actions of many princely states have become more and more intense, so that in the third year of Emperor Jing, Emperor Jing of Han adopted emperor Jing for three years (154 BC), and Emperor Jing of Han adopted the chaotic "Strategy of Cutting the Domain", and successively issued edicts to cut the fiefs of Chu and Zhao. So do the princely states accept it? They immediately rebelled in the name of "Qing Jun's side". But the current Great Han is no longer the Great Han he once was, he rose up, and with the assistance of outstanding generals such as Zhou Yafu, in less than a year, the once-mighty Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was quickly suppressed.
From here, it is not difficult for us to see that the Tuien Order is not what you want to do, you can do it if you want to do it, you want the edict to play a role, you must have a strong strength, use your strong strength, hit the other party head-on and hit the other side out of the psychological shadow, the consequences of not listening to the edict are very serious, your Tuien Order, in order to play an effective role, without the accumulation of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the two generations, without Zhou Yafu's fat beating will beat many princely states out of the psychological shadow, do you think that emperor Wu of Han's tuien order can be pushed down? And the Tuien Order, only on top of strength, also strengthened the moral advantage, after all, the system of the father of the princely state is very stable, so that it can kill people and curse.
In contrast, the Tang Dynasty, whose backbone was broken by the Anshi Rebellion, the central government was greatly weakened in terms of both strength and prestige. What is more serious is that the central government has been leaning on each other at every turn, messing up your side and singing on our side, and the supreme power has not only been shaky, but more frighteningly, even a smooth handover cannot be done.
To say that the Tang Dynasty divided the town, there is no better than the old nest of An Lushan - the three towns of Heshuo. In addition to the two tax laws, Datang has also tried to push the grace order, but what? You want to push grace, push the "grace" of the empire to others, and also want to hula a vote of people dare to accept it, right? Tang Dezong seized the opportunity of Li Baochen's illness and death in Chengde Town to order his son Li Weiyue to succeed Chengde, but what? There was no accident at all, the people immediately rebelled, and Emperor Dezong immediately sent troops to suppress it, but unfortunately, this account was not as easy as Emperor Jing's Zhou Yafu to quell the chaos. In the early stage, it was very smooth, but in the later period, youzhou town reversed the water, the situation turned straight down, and even directly triggered the "Four Kings and Two Emperors" incident, which was even more dangerous than the Anshi Rebellion in that year, and the Auditorium Dynasty almost died directly.
But Li Tang was not without gains, or he was forced on the three towns of Heshuo, especially Chengde Town, and pushed two small clan towns out - Henghai Town and Yiwu Town. A very simple question, because under the joint attack of the famous generals Ma Fu and Li Sheng, Chengde Town was almost destroyed, and Li Baochen of Chengde Town, before his death, was afraid that his son could not stop the group of arrogant generals, and killed more than twenty generals in one breath, Tang Ting took the opportunity to enter, although in the end it was only a draw, but this was enough, which could launch the two clan towns out, but because there was no victory, the division of other fan towns in other areas became more and more intense.
Later, in the tang xianzong period, between Chengde and Wei Bo, Li Tang wanted to carry out the Tui En Order, push a small clan town out, the name was all thought out, gave the name "Baoxin Jun", planned to appoint Wang Chengzong's son-in-law, but privately preferred xue Chaochang of the imperial court to serve as an envoy to Jiedu, but unexpectedly, as soon as the news was gone, Wang Chengzong immediately sent 300 cavalry, and overnight He dragged Xue Chaochang with his arm outward to his old lair, Hengzhou. Xiao En did not launch, all of a sudden stillborn, why? You know, if you want to kill people, you can just do it? It is impossible, without the backing of a powerful force, you dare to withdraw, and no one dares to pick it up. Even the two small feudal towns that were pushed out in the era of Emperor Dezong, Yiwu and Henghai, have always been directly proportional to the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Tuien is not a bulldozer, you can push if you want to push, not to mention the bulldozer also needs to pay to burn oil. The most successful execution of the Tang Dynasty's Tuien Order should be said to have been the famous "Snow Night into Cai Prefecture" directly sent Wu Yuanji, who resisted the imperial orders, to Chang'an to hold a great ceremony for prisoner sacrifice and beheaded the public, and openly conducted a legal popularization education for the tianxia fan town. Subsequently, Li Shidao, the largest town in the world, Ziqing Town, was still in violation of the yin and yang, and under the order of Emperor Xianzong, the famous general Li Shu marched all the way and won twelve battles, which would carry out the order of Tui En and divide Ziqing into three. However, Rao was still in the situation that Emperor Xianzong suspected that Li Shidao's soldiers were still alive, and took the situation of deception, directly slaughtering more than 1,500 tooth soldiers, so that he was endlessly accused by Sima Guang.
Tasting the sweetness, Later Li Tang also followed the law, using a situation of dividing into three, splitting Wei Bo and Youzhou, but in the end it triggered the Mutiny of the Three Towns, resulting in the achievements of Yuan He and the cutting of the domain, which was destroyed at once, and the three towns were once again returned to the hands of the arrogant generals. Why are these methods of grace not being able to steal chickens and not be anti-erosion rice? A very important reason is to kill people, you have to be proud of yourself for the powerful forces, with your power as the backing, with your legitimacy endorsement, everyone dares to accept, unfortunately, after the death of Xianzong, the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty fell into a whirlpool of constant strife, and began to falter, the soldiers were in a nest, the bears were one, Muzong, Jingzong, Wenzong were more incompetent than one, and the eunuchs were able to toss one by one, and the situation took a sharp turn.
Tuien Ling is a powerful strategic magic weapon, but this magic weapon, but it is not called a skill, if he is weak, he must be built under the threat of strong strength, he has no strength, he has no real sword and real gun on the battlefield to cast a psychological shadow on those unruly princes of the clan town, you want to kill people, is it possible?
