Wei Qi's eyes were full of horror, and seeing Gao Baoxu's calm face, he seemed to have been confirmed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because in this era, people with a little common sense know that Jingnan is actually trying to survive in the cracks.

Many people spit on Jingnan's way of survival, and when the Central Plains had an advantage, they attached themselves to the Central Plains; Later, Jiangnan Yang Wu was powerful, so he took the initiative to show friendship with Yang Wu.

Of course, because the foundation of the Central Plains was not too stable at this time, Gao Jixing later sought independence by himself, and the timing happened to succeed in his foundation. If it were any other time, Jing Nan would be engulfed by one of them.

Some people jokingly called the Central Plains several tyrants at the end of the Tang Dynasty, including Wu Yue Qian Miao, Chu Guo Ma Yin and Jing Nan Gao Jixing!

Many people don't understand why Gao Jixing is compared with Qian Miao and even Ma Yin. In fact, the reason is very simple, like the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and even Shu and Lingnan, although there have been arrogant and laughing characters, but they are slightly inferior to these three places.

Because these three people have been independent since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and then they have been in power for a long time, and everyone has a good death! As for the other regimes, either the life of the founder is short, or the foundation of the creation is short, or the foundation is handed over to others, or the big waves of sand change the course.

Although the territory of Jingnan has always been small, it is extremely difficult for the Gao family in the cracks. Because in the first year of Kaiping of the Later Liang Dynasty (907), Gao Jixing served as the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, Jingnan, which was under the jurisdiction of ten states at that time, was actually just a city in Jiangling Prefecture.

It was at this time that Gao Jixing saw the back beam of the external strength and the middle cadre, which was actually regarded as the building was about to fall. So he boldly summoned the exiles to resume their business after he took office. After more than ten years of hard work, in the second year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty (924), he was co-opted by the Later Tang Dynasty and was named the king of Nanping, and got Guizhou and Huazhou.

Because the terrain of Jingnan is narrow and weak, it occupies the key position of the north-south traffic at that time. In addition, at that time, the Southern Han Dynasty, Fujian and Chu in the southeast had to pass through Jingnan if they entered the Central Plains in the north, but Gao Jixing saw an opportunity.

That is, Gao Jixing understands that his regime is nothing more than waiting for a co-master. Because Jingnan is used as a buffer for several places, as long as the whole world is divided, its own territory will not have the slightest impact. If one day there is an annexation, or if there is a real war between the two countries, you will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt.

Therefore, in order to maintain the status quo in the world, Gao Jixing can be said to spare no effort to intersect everywhere. Yang Wu's power became larger, and he secretly befriended Chudi; The land of Chu was stable, and he went west to the land of Shu to meet. Anyway, what can balance the forces in various places is what he is most willing to do. is far away in the Southern Han Kingdom in Lingnan, he has interacted from time to time, and it can be seen that Gao Jixing is in a living situation.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this matter is obviously a shameless act to divide the forces in one place, but to make friends with any force, so some people call Gao Jixing Gao Laizi.

However, Gao Jixing didn't care, because he was initiated in the late Tang Dynasty, and he was once the domestic slave of Zhu Wenyi's son Zhu Yourang. Later, he was appreciated by Zhu Wen and accepted as a righteous son by Zhu Yourang, and because of his meritorious service, he has always been the defense envoy of Yingzhou. Because he was born in the Later Liang royal family, Gao Jixing has always been ambitious.

When Zhu Wen was alive, Gao Jixing was also well-behaved, and later it happened that Zhu Men killed his father with his son, and the power of the Later Liang country declined, and Gao Jixing gradually became dominant. Because the attack on Xiangzhou failed, he later simply cut off the tribute to Houliang. Because of this invasion of the Central Plains, Jingnan gradually broke away from the jurisdiction of Houliang.

At the beginning of the Later Tang Dynasty, Gao Jixing was also afraid of the situation, and went to Luoyang to meet Li Cunqiao. However, I don't know if Li Cunxuan fainted, or didn't take Gao Jixing in his eyes, and actually allowed Gao Jixing to return to Jiangling.

At that time, Li Cunqiao did regret it, and asked Xiangzhou Jiedu to make Liu Xun intercept Gao Jixing. However, Gao Jixing, who escaped death, quickly fled back to Jiangling, and never left Jiangling Mansion again. Li Cunmiao, who regretted it, saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to appease Gao Jixing and crown Gao Jixing as the king of Nanping again.

Since then, the power of the Central Plains has been uneven, and Jingnan can no longer be taken into account. As a result, Gao Jixing gradually became an independent regime from a vassal prince. It has complete autonomy over military, political, and diplomatic relations within its borders.

Because Gao Jixing's choice was correct, and the foundation he had was not small, the surrounding secession gradually recognized the existence of Jingnan. In addition, Gao Jixing's son Gao Congzi inherited his father's business, and he was an excellent heir, so that Jingnan was perfected and finalized during this period.

However, at this time, why did the Central Plains countries acquiesce to Jingnan, because although Gao Jixing is powerful, his son Gao Congxue seems to be more shrewd.

Because of the high obedience to act in a big way to protect his country, and to befriend the neighboring countries of the double standard!

First, the Central Plains is the right thing, which clarifies the style of the strongest forces in the Central Plains. His vision, in the eyes of the forces of the countries at that time, no one could stand out. Second, he was good friends with Yang Wu, Southern Tang, Ma Chu and Hou Shu, and rarely had wars with other countries in his life. Compared with the wars and turmoil in the world at that time, Jingnan can be regarded as an outlier!

However, some people saw Gao Congxue's cleverness clearly, because when Yang Wu was powerful, he persuaded Yang Wu to build a country. And when the Yang Wu and Li families protruded, he persuaded the Li family to abolish the lord and stand on his own, which can be said to be a bit unique at that time. Later, Jing Nan received the support of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was inseparable from Gao Congxue's vision at this time.

Moreover, Gao Congzhi is more rational and pragmatic than the ups and downs of governance, and is also more flexible and open. It not only lifted the dark clouds of war hanging over Jingnan, but also brought about a long period of peace and stability. This kind of flexible decision-making made the Jingnan regime continue a good tone, and although the successor Gao Baorong was much inferior, it still maintained Jingnan's national fortunes steadily because of its policy.

As a descendant of the Gao family, Gao Baoxu naturally knew the strategy of his father, but because his brother Gao Baorong was weak and incompetent, Jingnan did have a huge pressure now. This kind of pressure is difficult for outsiders to see, but as Gao Baoxu, who has received an excellent education since childhood, he understands Jingnan's current predicament very well.

Because the Central Plains Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, several expeditions to the Southern Tang Dynasty and Shuzhong are the best examples. Now Houshu does not seek to be motivated, Nantang is drunk and dreams of death by virtue of natural dangers, although Jingnan does not have this kind of crisis, but as Gao Baoxu, who has some vision, can see this deep crisis!
