Knots make

Due to the continuous expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the northern grasslands and western regions were the territory of the Tang Empire. The Tang Dynasty clashed more and more with the surrounding Turkic, Tubo, Goguryeo, Khitan and other regimes, and there were hundreds of thousands of armies on both sides. The casualties of the Fu soldiers were very large, and they could no longer meet the needs of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty needed soldiers to be stationed in the border areas for a long time. Over time, the cultivated land of the soldiers in their hometown gradually became deserted. The prefectural military system is suitable for the situation in the period of division, but it is not suitable for the rule of the great unified dynasty. Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the Tang Dynasty gradually changed the military system to a conscription system.

The Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and often needed to fight with the surrounding regimes, so in order to facilitate the war, Tang Xuanzong set up 10 knots in the border area, known as the Tianbao Ten Knots. They are: Shuofang Jiedushi Envoy, Hedong Jiedushi Envoy, Fanyang Jiedushi Envoy, Pinglu Jiedushi Envoy, Hexi Jiedushi Envoy, Anxi Jiedushi Envoy, Jiannan Jiedushi Envoy, Beiting Jiedushi Envoy, Longyou Jiedushi Envoy, and Lingnan Jingluo Envoy. These 10 commanders are like the commanders of the 10 military districts, with a large army under their command, responsible for fighting the surrounding areas.

The number of troops under the jurisdiction of the 10 major festivals is different, mainly according to the needs of the task. Fanyang Jiedu had 91,400 men under his command, and had the largest number of troops.

In order to facilitate command, the imperial court gradually handed over the power of appointment and removal of local personnel and the right to use finances, the right to collect taxes, the right to supervise, and so on. In this way, the power of moderation is unprecedentedly expanded.

Fanyang Jiedushi envoy, Linzhi Xi and Khitan commanded the nine armies of Jingluo, Weiwu, Qingyi, Jingsai, Gongyang, Beiping, Gaoyang, Tangxing, and Henghai. Fan Yang Jiedushi, Li Youzhou, managed 91,400 soldiers, 6,500 horses, 800,000 pieces of clothing, and 500,000 stones of military food.

After the slight army, in the city of Youzhou, the management army was 30,000 people, and the horses were 5,400.
The mighty army, in the city of Tanzhou, managed tens of thousands of soldiers and three hundred horses.
The Qing Yi army, in the city of Yuzhou, managed tens of thousands of soldiers and three hundred horses.
The Jing Sai Army, in the city of Jizhou, managed 16,000 soldiers and 500 horses.
The Hengyang Army, in the east of the city of Hengzhou, managed 3,500 troops.
The Beiping Army, west of Dingzhou City, managed 6,000 troops.
Gao Yang's army, in the city of Yizhou, managed 6,000 troops.
Tang Xingjun, in the city of Mozhou, managed 6,000 troops.
The Horizontal Navy, in the city of Cangzhou, managed 6,000 troops.  

In the second year (713) of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang,713, he set up the Youzhou Jiedushi Envoy, who was responsible for defending Xi and Khitan and governing Youzhou. Responsible for the management of Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Tanzhou, Yizhou, Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Mozhou, Cangzhou and other large areas.

An Lushan, Li Huaixian

In the first year of Tianbao (742), it was changed to Fanyang Jiedushi. In the third year of Tianbao (744), An Lushan succeeded Pei Kuan as the envoy of Fanyang Jiedushi, the envoy of Hebei, and the envoy of Pinglu.

In November of the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), An Lushan, based on Fanyang, Hedong, and Pinglu, launched a rebellion from Fanyang. In the first month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756), An Lushan was proclaimed emperor by trespassing, and the country was called Dayan. Let Shi Siming be the envoy of Fanyang Jiedushi, passing through Hebei. On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the second year of De (757), Zi'an Qingxu beheaded An Lushan and declared himself emperor. In the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (758), Shi Siming surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court made him the King of Guiyi, and served as the envoy of Fanyang Changshi and Hebei Jiedushi.

In the first month of the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (759 AD), Shi Siming was arrogantly proclaimed the King of the Great Saint Zhou. In the spring of the second year of the First Yuan Dynasty (761), Shi Siming was murdered by his son Shi Chaoyi and his generals. Li Baochen returned to the imperial court with heng zhao shen ding yi wuzhou land. In the first year of Guangde (763), Tian Chengsi surrendered with Shi Chaoyi's relatives. Xue Song descended from the four states of Xiang, Wei, Huan, and Xing. Li Huaixian descended with Fan Yang. Shi Chaoyi was forced to commit suicide in a situation where the crowd was rebellious and desperate. The Anshi Rebellion, which lasted for more than 7 years, came to an end.

After the end of the Anshi Rebellion, Fanyang Jiedushi was changed to Youzhou Jiedushi, because he led the Lulong Army, also known as the Lulong Jiedushi.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court was unable to pursue the Anshi rebels. In order to envelop the old department of Anshi in Hebei, on the 19th day of the leap month in the first year of Guangde (763), Emperor Tang appointed Li Huaixian as the governor of Youzhou, inspector shizhong, Youzhou, Lulong and other military envoys, and later promoted to inspector shangshu of the military department and knighted of Wuwei County.

Zhu Zhu, Zhu Tao

On June 20, the third year of the Gregorian calendar (768), Li Huaixian's subordinate soldiers and horses Zhu Xicai, The Deputy Envoy Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Tao, Zhu Tao, the younger brother of Zhu Zhu, killed Li Huaixian, and Zhu Xicai claimed to be the queen of Jiedu. In December, the imperial court appointed Zhu Xicai as the governor of Youzhou and the envoy of Lu Longjun in Youzhou. In the fifth year of the Gregorian calendar (770), he was crowned king of Gaomi County. He was tyrannical and rude to the court. In the seventh year of the Gregorian calendar (772), the Confucius official Li Yan (李瑗) was waiting for an opportunity to kill him because of his personal grudges, and soldiers supported the soldiers and horses to make Zhu Zhu stay.

In October of the seventh year of the Gregorian calendar (772), the imperial court appointed Zhu Zhu as the inspector of zuosan riding changshi, the envoy of Youzhou LulongJiedushi, the governor of Youzhou, and the imperial history, and the prince of Huaining County. In the ninth year of the Gregorian calendar (774), Zhu Zhu was promoted to shangshu of the inspection department. After entering the dynasty, Zhu Tao commanded the military affairs of Youzhou, but set out to eliminate Zhu Zhu's influence. Zhu Zhu knew that he had been betrayed by his brother and had lost his military power, so he asked himself to stay in the Beijing Division. Emperor Daizong then appointed Zhu Tao as The Empress Dowager of LuLongjie and concurrently as the Imperial Historian, and ordered Zhu Tao to command the border defense forces of the Song Dynasty and Ziqing.

In October of the third year of Jianzhong (782), Zhu Tao worshipped the heavens in the western suburbs of Weizhou and was proclaimed the King of Ji. Wang Wujun was called the King of Zhao, Tian Yue was called the King of Wei, and Li Na was called the King of Qi. Zhu Tao changed youzhou to Fanyang Province. Emperor Dezong of Tang ordered Li Xilie to serve as the envoy of Pinglu and Ziqing Jiedushi to recruit Li Na and others, but he conspired with Li Na and colluded with the rebellious Hebei clan towns of Zhu Tao and Tian Yue to proclaim himself the marshal of the capital of tianxia and the king of Jianxing. In 784, he invaded Bian Prefecture and became emperor of Chu. In October of the fourth year of Jianzhong (783), Jingyuan mutinied, and Zhu Zhu was proclaimed emperor.

In June of the first year of the Xingyuan Dynasty (784), Li Sheng recaptured Chang'an, and Zhu Zhu and Yao Lingyan were killed. Zhu Tao was attacked by Wang Wujun in Youzhou and almost collapsed into an army, so he had to show his guilt to the imperial court. In September, Emperor Dezong of Tang issued an edict pardoning Zhu Tao for his crimes.

Liu shi was in charge

In June of the first year of Zhen Yuan (785), Zhu Tao died, and the three armies elected Liu Xun to temporarily preside over affairs. In July of the same year, the imperial court appointed Liu Yi as the governor of Youzhou, Shi Shi, concurrently serving as the imperial historian, the deputy ambassador of Youzhou Lulong Jiedu, the Zhijie Dushi, the guannei Yingtian observation, the Qidan, and the envoy of the Jingluo Lulong army. In September, Liu Died at the age of Fifty-Nine. His son Liu Ji succeeded him as the envoy of Youzhou Jiedushi.

During the Zhenyuan period, due to the change of Jingyuan, the Tang Dynasty Yourong Fan Town, the festivals in various places made most of the capital arrogant and lawless, only Liu Ji was the most obedient to the imperial court, and the tribute was continuous, so Tang Dezong trusted him very much, repeatedly added officials, promoted to Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Tang Shunzong succeeded to the throne, and then moved to the inspection of situ, Tang Xianzong, and then entered the throne. Liu Jizhen guarded Lu long for more than 20 years and won the hearts of the army.

After Liu Ji fell ill, his son Liu Zong attempted to usurp the throne, so he sent someone to pretend to be an emissary of the imperial court and shouted in the street: "The imperial court has done nothing to stay in Xianggong, and has removed the deputy ambassador as an envoy." The next day, he sent someone to shout: "The deputy ambassador Jingjie has arrived in Taiyuan." A few days later, someone shouted, "The Festival of Jing has passed the Dai Prefecture." Lu Long raised his army in horror, and Liu Ji, who was ill, was angry and did not know what to do, so he killed dozens of the main generals and ordered Liu Ji to return to the camp immediately. Extremely angry, Liu Ji refused to eat and drink from morning to night, and then because of thirst, Liu Zong secretly poisoned liu ji, Liu Ji died, Liu Ji traveled to Zhuozhou, and was killed by Liu Zong under the guise of his father's staff, so Liu Zong led the army on his own.

After Liu Zong killed his father and brother, whenever he saw the ghost of his father and brother, he was very miserable, so he placed hundreds of monks behind the official office and asked them to apologize to the ghosts all day long. In his later years, he was even more frightened and fearful, and asked to become a monk, hoping to avoid disasters, so he asked the judge Zhang Gao to stay behind. In the fourteenth year of Yuan He (819), he invited himself into the dynasty.

Lu Longjie made Liu Zong's submission, marking the peak of Yuan and ZTE. Two years later, the imperial court appointed the civil official Zhang Hongjing as an envoy to Youzhou and Lulongjiedu.

The Tang Dynasty demoted Zhang Hongjing to the title of Jizhou Assassin and transferred Liu Wu to be the envoy of the Lulong Festival, but Liu Wu was afraid of Zhu Kerong's strong army and was reluctant to go to his post, so he returned to the post of envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and the imperial court had to grant Zhu Kerong the title of Inspector Zuo San riding regular attendant and award him the Fu Festival.

In May 826, the Youzhou army was in turmoil, and the generals killed Zhu Kerong and his son Zhu Yanling, and appointed his son Zhu Yansi as the envoy of Lu Longjie, but Zhu Yansi was fierce and did not sympathize with the soldiers, and was soon killed by Li Zaiyi, the envoy of the Duzhi Soldiers and Horses.

Li Zaiyi went to the imperial court to play Zhu Yansi's guilt. Emperor Jingzong of Tang then appointed Li Zaiyi as the deputy ambassador of the military festival, such as Shangshu of the Household Department of the Inspection School, and yushi dafu, the prince of Wuwei County, and Lu Long of Chongyou Prefecture. In the first year of Taihe (827), Li Zaiyi was enfeoffed with the title of Sikong for his crusade against Li Tongjie. In the fourth year of Taihe (830), the Khitan cavalry entered Kou, and Li Zaiyi defeated him, capturing his leader Ru Xian and sending him to Chang'an to add taibao to his merits.

In the spring of the fifth year of Taihe (831), the imperial court gave Li Zaiyi a monument of merit. Li Zaiyi invited the emissaries to visit the ball game, but unexpectedly, the backyard soldiers and horses caused Yang Zhicheng to rebel and took the opportunity to expel Li Zaiyi. Emperor Wenzong originally wanted to send an army to fight, but the chancellor Niu Monk and The Children pointed out that the imperial court was no longer able to carry out the crusade. Emperor Wenzong then allowed Yang Zhicheng to take over Lu Long, but only allowed him to stay behind for Jiedu.

Yang Zhicheng was later awarded the title of Shangshu of the Inspection and Inspection Department, and soon afterwards he was awarded the Shangshu of the Inspection And School Official, and he was also named the Right Servant. After Yang Zhicheng was appointed as the right servant, he hesitated and was full of ambition, secretly making the Tianzi Gong Crown, arrogant and lascivious, causing public anger. In the winter of the eighth year of Taihe (834), Lu Long's army was in turmoil, Yang Zhicheng and the eunuch Li Huaizhi were expelled, and Shi Yuanzhong was pushed to stay behind.

Shi Yuanzhong handed over Yang Zhicheng's Tianzi Crown to the imperial court, which appointed Shi Yuanzhong as his retainer and sent another message to yang Zhicheng to guard Lingnan. Later, he appointed Shi Yuanzhong as an envoy of Lu Longjie. In September of the first year of Huichang (841), Lu Long's army was in turmoil, and Chen Xingtai launched a mutiny, killing Shi Yuanzhong, the envoy of Jiedu, but the crowd was not convinced. Emperor Wuzong of Tang did not approve him to serve as lulong jiedushi at the suggestion of the chancellor Li Deyu, and sure enough, only a month later, he was killed by the ya general Zhang Dai. After Zhang Dai killed Chen Xingtai, he ordered the three armies to go to the table, please grant Fu Jie.

Zhang Dai, intimidated by the prestige of Zhang Zhongwu, the envoy of the Xiongwu Army, once asked him to preside over military affairs, but later changed his mind and wrote to himself as an envoy of Jiedushi. Zhang Zhongwu was furious and raised an army to attack Youzhou (Beijing). In order to be justified, Zhang Zhongwu sent the commander Shi Wu Zhongshu to the capital Chang'an to request that he lead his troops and horses to conquer Zhang Dai. Wu Zhongshu persuaded the chancellor Li Deyu, and after weighing it, Emperor Wuzong of Tang appointed Zhang Zhongwu as the soldier and horse of Lu Long's army and allowed him to lead the army to quell the rebellion.

Zhang Zhongwu attacked Youzhou with 800 elite soldiers and 500 tutuan, conquered it in one fell swoop, killed Zhang Chen, and quelled the riot. In the first month of the following year, he was officially appointed as the envoy of the Lulong Festival. In the third year of Da Zhong (849), Zhang Zhongwu died of illness in office, and his son Zhang Zhifang succeeded him in the army.

Zhang Zhifang was proclaimed Lu Longliu and soon became deputy ambassador. Because of his alcoholism and abuse of soldiers, there was great chaos in the army, and he fled back to Chang'an in the name of hunting, and the army supported Zhou Qiang as Lu Long's queen. In the fourth year of the middle school, after Zhou Jiao's death, the imperial court took Zhang Yunshen as his retainer and progressively inspected the school Situ, Concurrently Taifu, and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi. Zhang Yun stretched out the wind and took his son Zhang Jianhui as a retainer.

Soon after, Zhang Yunshen died. Zhang Yunshen's pingzhou (平州, in present-day Qinhuangdao, Hebei) led the Pingzhou army to attend the funeral. The soldiers in Youzhou all respected Zhang Gongsu, and Zhang Jian would worry about his situation. He fled to Chang'an.

Holding ninety thousand iron horses in his hands, Tianbao Ten Knots made Fan Yang, who had the heaviest military power in the middle

Zhang Jian would flee to Chang'an. Emperor Yizong of Tang appointed Zhang Gongsu as his retainer, and then made him the emissary of Jiedushi. Zhang Gongsu was cruel and rude after the festival, and often showed people with white eyes, so he was called "white-eyed Xianggong".

In the second year of Qianfu (875), Li Maoxun planned a rebellion, attacked and killed the well-trusted Envoy Chen Gongyan, seized his military power, and marched into Youzhou, claiming to be the vanguard of Chen Gongyan. Zhang Gongsu faced the battle, and the soldiers fled to Chang'an in defeat. When Li Maoxun entered Youzhou, people knew that this was not Chen Gongyan, but Li Maoxun already had eight thousand soldiers and horses at this time, and people could only support Li Maoxun. The imperial court is the descending rune festival, and the worship festival is made. Soon, Li Maoxun told the old man of his illness, awarded the right servant Zhi Shi, and recommended his son Li Keju to be promoted by Jiedu's deputy envoy, Youzhou Zuo Sima Jia's right scattered horse Chang Shi to be the queen of Jiedu.

Three Lee period

In the fifth year of Zhonghe, Li Keju was very worried because of the Yiwu Jiedushi making Wang Secretly communicate with the Jin King Li Keyong, so he allied with The Chengde Jiedushi Wang Rong and prepared to capture the Yiwu army. In the same year, Li Keju sent the general Li Quanzhong to lead an army of 60,000 to attack yizhou under the yiwu army Jiedushi, and the general Liu Rengong dug tunnels to enter and conquer Yizhou, but the Chengde army was defeated by Li Keyong, and Wang Chucun took advantage of the situation to counterattack Yizhou with 3,000 elite troops, Li Quanzhong was defenseless and lost Yizhou.

After the war, Li Quanzhong, fearing his sins, gathered the remnants of his army and defeated generals, and counterattacked Youzhou. Li Keju was caught off guard, and the whole clan went upstairs and set themselves on fire and died. After Li Keju was killed, and after the three armies pushed Quanzhong to stay, the imperial court awarded Jie Yu to appoint Li Quanzhong as the envoy of Jiedushi.

After Li Quanzhong's death, his son Li Converse took the throne of his father and claimed to be the queen. Li Converse's younger brother Li Kuangchu's wife was very beautiful, and when Li Converse set out to rescue Chengde Wang Rong before the family meeting, Li Converse drunkenly and sexually abused his sister-in-law, and since then Li Kuangchu has held a grudge against him.

In February of the same year, Li Converse led his troops back to Youzhou from Zhenzhou, and by the time he arrived in Boye, Li Kuangchu had already occupied Youzhou, claiming to be the queen of Lu Longliu, and sent troops to attack Li Converse. Li Converse fled in defeat, and most of his men fled back to Youzhou and defected to Li Kuangchu, who remained in Shenzhou with some of his cronies. Lee Converse was unable to meet his forces and was in a dilemma. He fled to Zhenzhou and surrendered to Wang Rong. Lee Converse went to Zhenzhou in an attempt to capture Zhenzhou and was killed.

In February of the first year of Qianning (894), the Tang court appointed Li Kuang as an envoy of Lu Longjie. In November 894, Li Ke attacked Li Kuangchu with a large number of attacks, and Li Kuangchu was defeated and fled to Cangzhou. After Li Kuangchu fled to Cangzhou, Yichang Jiedu made Lu Yanwei covet Li Kuangcuo's concubines and concubines, so he sent troops to attack Li Kuangcuo, and the two sides fought a major battle at Jingcheng, Li Kuangcuo was defeated and killed, and his men were annexed by Lu Yanwei.

Two Liu Xiangcheng

In the first year of Qianning (894), Li Keyong attacked Youzhou. In the second year of Qianning (895), after Li Ke used the cousin Liu Rengong to stay for Lu Long, the Tang government appointed Liu Rengong as Lu Longjie's envoy. In the fifth year of Qianning (898), Liu Rengong defeated Lu Yanwei, the envoy of Yichang Jiedu, annexed his jurisdiction, and made his son Liu Shouwen the envoy of Yichang Jiedushi, thus raising ambitions to annex Heshuo. In the sixth year of Qianning (899), during the Southern Expedition, he was defeated by the combined forces of Zhu Quanzhong and Wei Bojiedu of Xuanwu Jiedushi and Luo Shaowei, and his strength was damaged.

In the first year of Later Liang Kaiping (907), Later Liang Taizu Zhu Wen sent the Xuanwu army general Li Si'an to attack Liu Rengong, Liu Rengong garrisoned Da'an, Liu Shouguang led troops into the city to defeat Li Si'an, claimed to be Lu Longjiedushi envoy, sent Li Xiaoxi and Yuan Xingqin to lead troops to attack Da'an Mountain, captured Liu Rengong and imprisoned him.

In August of the first year of Qianhua (911), Liu Shouguang proclaimed himself Emperor of Great Yan and established the Great Yan regime, known in history as Jie Yan. Liu Shouguang declared himself empress dowager, changed yuan to Yingtian, and appointed Wang Hitomi and Qi Shi as left and right ministers. At that time, Li Cunxun sent Li Chengxun, the young governor of Taiyuan, to congratulate Liu Shouguang on his canonization as Shang's father, and by the time of Yan Liu Shouguang had already been proclaimed emperor. Yousi forced Li Chengxun to become a vassal, but Li Chengxun refused, and used the courtesy of the nations to enter the meeting, and Liu Shouguang was angry and killed him.

In January 912, li Cunxun, the king of Jin, sent the general Zhou Dewei to join forces in Zhen and Dingzhou to attack the State of Yan, and the Emperor Liu Shouguang of Yan asked Later Liang and Khitan for help, and the two countries hated qin and chu, and did not do their best to rescue them.

In October 913, Youzhou was tight, the Emperor Liu Shouguang of The Jin Dynasty asked to surrender, the King of Jin Li Cunxun went to Youzhou, the Emperor of The Jin Dynasty Liu Shouguang did not surrender, the King of Jin Li Cunxun raised an army to attack it, and in December, the King of Jin, Li Cunxun, attacked Youzhou, captured the Emperor Liu Shouguang of the Yan Dynasty, and the state of Yan was destroyed. In 914, Li Cunxun, the King of Jin, sent Liu Shouguang, the Emperor of Yan, to Yanmen to pay homage to Li Keyong and then executed him.
