An Lushan of the Tang Dynasty was able to rebel, not because he was An Lushan, but because of this official position
In the early Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were very elite, and later the imperial court allowed the free sale and purchase of Yongyetian, the social gap between the rich and the poor, and the annexation of land, so many soldiers evaded the service of the government. When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent fish letters to Guoyi, the Folding Chong Province could not transfer troops, and had no choice but to use the method of recruitment to recruit strong soldiers, those original soldiers of the house were recruited, the Tang Dynasty began the system of separating soldiers and farmers, these people began to be called Qi, also took turns to serve, and later it was standing, also subordinate to the various festival towns, the Tang Dynasty's moderation system, power is very unreasonable, and the Tang Dynasty officer system at that time was also very unreasonable. Many people say that moderation makes both military and government leaders, or that they have mastered wealth, so they rebelled. In fact, it is not true, Tang Xuanzong's jiedushi did not have so much power, and the materials of the border towns must rely on the help of Guanzhong.
Tang Xuanzong's moderation enabled An Lushan to rebel, not because he was An Lushan, but because he was an emissary. The Tang Dynasty's moderation allowed him to rebel as long as he insisted on rebellion, even if the officers opposed it. The Tang Dynasty's system of moderation, and even the officer system, was very unreasonable. The superiors had the right to dispose of the subordinates without being asked, and the imperial court never pursued them for arbitrary punishment of the subordinates, so that they controlled the subordinates and the troops, and the troops could not oppose the emissaries.
For example, when Geshuhan was the deputy envoy of the Great Fighting Army, a deputy general was arrogant and disrespectful to him and did not listen to his dispatches, and Geshuhan did not report to his superiors, but killed him on the spot. Now the deputy commander of a local sub-military region, because of the arrogance of the generals below, does not obey the command, and instead of removing him through procedures, he is killed on the spot, and he will definitely go to court-martial. However, Goshuhan continued to be promoted.
There was also Gao Xianzhi when he was an Anxi deputy emissary, because on the way back to the army, he did not go through the emissaries to report to the imperial court for victory, and after Gao Xianzhi returned to the town, the anxi emissaries said to him: "Since I have played all this, Andrew will not wait for me to punish the suspense book!" According to this sin of Goryeo Nu, he should be beheaded, but he made a new great contribution and did not want to deal with it. "It should be known that Gao Xianzhi was already the deputy capital of Anxi at that time, the envoy of the Soldiers and Horses of Duzhi, and the deputy envoy of Chongsi Town, and the envoy of Jiedu could still be disposed of at will, and An Lushan led an army of 60,000 people to attack the Khitans, and the general He Side proposed not to attack An Lushan, he did not listen, and he also beheaded him. After the defeat, after An Lushan and more than twenty of his men fled into Shizhou in a hurry, they beheaded Zuo Xian Wang Ge Xie and Hedong Soldiers and Horses yu Chengxian, and Pinglu Soldiers and Horses made Shi Siming say at that time, "If I come out earlier, I will also be beheaded like Brother Xie." "Abs, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedushi, defected out of fear of being killed by An Lushan during the battle, and this was the power of the Jiedu envoy at that time, and there was also a position at that time, that is, the Jiedu Judge, who held real power in the Jiedu shogunate, and many of the successive Jiedushi envoys were Jiedu judges.
At the time of the Anshi Rebellion, at the beginning of the Festival Judges still controlled the army by mastering the shogunate, at that time the Festival Judges were very popular, and all the great generals had to listen to them, and later the imperial court ordered that they could not do it, and all the generals were self-respecting, and the successors of the Festivals were their generals who controlled the troops in the town government or in other places, and later the Festivals made them choose hundreds of strong men to be the tooth soldiers because they wanted to protect themselves from being killed by their subordinates, that is, they sat in shifts, and the work was to eat feasts, and to act as elites in wartime, and later there were more and more tooth soldiers with thousands of people. It is necessary to build the city of Ya for them and their families to live in, and it is necessary to set up officials to manage the city and the soldiers, generally by the left and right to suppress the management, at this time it is important that the left and right who have no rights before are suppressed, and the moderation makes it uneasy that the left and right are suppressed and the tooth soldiers, and generally select thousands of people from the troops in the field as direct subordinate troops to live in the city of Yacheng and contain each other. In this way, the moderation makes the person sit steadily.
However, in some places in Hebei and Xuzhou, those tooth soldiers are related to each other because of the generations of inheritance and intermarriage, and the festival envoy has no way to rectify the shogunate, and the tooth soldiers who support each other actually control the shogunate, and even elect the abolition of the festival envoy, which is the Tang Dynasty's moderation envoy system.
