Chapter 29 [Tempest 7]

One

Yongwang went out of the east in the first month, and the Son of Heaven divided the dragon and tiger banners.

The building boat was quiet in one fell swoop, and Jianghan turned into a swallow pool.

Second

The three rivers and the north are chaotic, and the four seas are like Yongjia.

But with Dongshan Xie Anshi, for the gentleman to talk and laugh and quiet Husha.

Third

The thunder drum is noisy and noisy in Wuchang, and the cloud flag has hunted for the sun.

Autumn does not make three Wu Yue, and spring looks at the five-color light.

Fourth

The dragon pan tiger is located in the imperial state, and the emperor Jinling visits the hometown.

The spring breeze tries to warm the Zhaoyang Palace, and the bright moon also passes the magpie building.

Fifth

The two emperors have not returned from the parade, and the pines and cypresses of the five tombs make people mourn.

The princes did not save Henan, but they preferred King Xian to come from afar.

Seventh

Wang out of the three rivers according to the five lakes, the building ship across the sea to the capital.

The battleship Sen Sen Luo Hushi, the sail leads the dragon horse one by one.

Eighth

The long wind is difficult to return, and the sea shakes the mountains and the ancient moon destroys.

You look at the emperor's floating river day, how like a dragon out of the gorge.

Its tenth

The emperor favored the virtuous king into Chu Pass, and the Jiang and Han Dynasty should be returned.

At the beginning, he opened the Zhu Mansion from Yunmeng, and took Jinling as a hill.

its eleven

Try to borrow the king's jade horse whip and command the captives to sit on the Qiong feast.

The south wind swept away Hu Chenjing, and entered Chang'an in the west to the Japanese side.

The first poem says that King Yong toured the east on the orders of the Son of Heaven, and there was a scene of peace. In fact, Li Lan is a rebellion to transfer troops without permission, and Li Bai has no way of knowing whether there is a holy decree or not! Under the appearance of peace, there is a lot of murderous motives, which Li Bai can't see.

The second song, Li Bai, hopes that he can be like Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and calmly break the enemy on the occasion of the country. In fact, Xie An resisted the encroachment of the former Qin and defended the peace and stability of Jiangnan. And the eternal king them. It is for the sake of selfish interests to harm the country.

The third poem writes that Yongwang's army is majestic, powerful, and strictly disciplined, and he is marching eastward all the way. There are signs of victory. What is there to praise about a rebel army? The greater the momentum, the greater the resistance to the government's counterinsurgency. Let's not say that the Anshi rebels are still making trouble over there! We can't imagine how Li Bai would feel if he clearly knew that the army he had taken refuge in was going to divide one side and fight a civil war with the government.

In the fourth poem, he hoped that Yongwang Bing Jinling (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu) would bring warmth and light to the people there. But the problem is that the forces of the Anshi rebels have not crossed the Jianghuai, so why are you not rebelling when you go to Jinling?! to the people. There will be nothing but disaster. We can't help but ask, is Li Bai really unable to even understand such a simple question? If you lack a minimum understanding of the current situation and the geography of mountains and rivers, what kind of staff do you still have?

The 5th Li Bai actually said: Sheji is in danger, and the monarchs and ministers are helpless, only King Yong will come to the east. Li Luan's father, brother and the whole country are in danger, and if you don't go to Henan and Hebei to fight the enemy, what are you doing here? Saying that, I think Li Bai does have the meaning of subverting the government.

The 7th poem writes that the sailors under the command of King Yong are strong and the warriors are mighty, and once again build momentum for the rebels. The 8th song compares the momentum of the Yongwang Sailor with the Western Jin Dynasty's Wang Jun's breakthrough of Eastern Wu. The Western Jin Dynasty was a just war of unification. How can your "rebellion of the eternal kings" be spoken of in the same day? This is actually all for the anti-thief.

The 10th poem says that the Yongwang was ordered by the Son of Heaven to defend the territory. It not only exaggerates Li Lan's momentum (in fact, his military power has not yet reached Jinling), but also wants to say that Li Lan is ordered to send troops as a "virtuous king" favored by the emperor. Has he, Li Bai, seen the holy decree of "being ordered to tour the east"? Why is what Li Xuan says?

In the 11th poem, Li Bai actually further hoped that King Yong would give him military command, and he was confident that he would be like Confucian generals such as Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, or Xie An. Strategized and won a decisive victory, so that the rebellious Hu people were happy and convinced, and then recovered Chang'an. Li Bai was too confident. Does he have the experience or talent for military command? This is quite naïve, and fighting a war is not child's play. Chang'an is to the west. What are you doing on the East China Sea to recover it?

Poor and pathetic Li Bai. was teased and used by Li Lan fiercely. These words were transmitted to Li Heng, and it was really "ironclad evidence", and it was not unjust to sentence him to the crime of "treason". He had no understanding of Li Lan's political direction at all, and he was unable to make a correct judgment on this. Obviously, Li Bai's political talent is too incommensurate with his poetic level. always said that "Huai Cai is not met", but he has neither the foresight nor the ability to govern the country! How else to say that "literati rebel, three years will not be successful"? It seems that Li Bai should write poetry well, he really doesn't know anything about politics! When he was in Li Longji, he was not reused, but this time he thought that the opportunity had come, and he got an errand with Li Longji's son, so that he could let go of his skills and show his talents. Who knew that he was on the wrong team, followed the wrong person, and almost lost his life.

Li Heng is extremely disappointed in his younger brother, this is simply a wolf cub who has never been familiar with him. In addition to being annoyed and indignant, the sixteenth brother he was holding back then kept popping up in his mind, and Li Heng decided to give him a way out. In February 757, Li Heng sent his confidant eunuch Qi Tingyao and Hebei Bandit Commander (Recruitment Officer) Li Chengshi to announce an edict to Li Xuan in an attempt to appease him. At that time, the Jiangxi military and political governor (interview envoy) Huangfu Mill (xiǎn) had more than 1,000 horses in Guangling, and Tingyao asked him to garrison Yangzi (present-day Yizheng, Jiangsu) to deter Li Xuan's troops. Li Chengshi sent his secretary (judge) Pei Mao to lead 3,000 soldiers to be stationed at Yiloudai (now southeast of Liuhe, Jiangsu) in Guabuzhou, the Yangtze River, and the government army flew flags and held a military parade with great fanfare. Li Ling and Li Ling looked at the city from afar, they had not been baptized by the battle, and they were horrified when they saw each other's bright clothes and armor and strict lineup (since they are so cowardly, why rebel). After watching it for a whole day, the more they thought about it, the more scared they became. The general Ji Guangchen knew that the general trend had gone, so he said to the generals: "We follow King Yong, is it to rebel?" Emperor Taishang is now in exile in Shuzhong, and the situation is unknown. Among the many princes, there is no one more virtuous than King Yong, if he gathers the elite soldiers in the Jianghuai region and recovers Chang'an and Luoyang, the great cause of counterinsurgency can also be accomplished. However, now that he has charged us with rebellion, how can we give an account to our descendants? After listening to it, everyone felt that it made sense. So, these people cut their wrists and swore an oath. decided to betray Li Lan (we often hear that the blood did great things for the alliance, and this kind of blood meeting and fleeing is indeed rare). Ji Guangchen led 6000 soldiers (that is. He was scared away by half his enemy, before the battle. It can be seen what a bad rabble this is), ready to flee to Guangling. Li Lan sent troops to chase him. He turned around and said, "I remember the kindness of the eternal king, so I can't bear to fight him, so I fled for my life." If you force me, I'll have to fight you to the death. So the pursuers stopped their pursuit and watched him slip away. Immediately afterward, Hun Weiming fled to Jiangning (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), and Feng Xiukang fled to Baisha (present-day Yizheng, Jiangsu). In this way, before the government army launched an offensive, Li Lan's army began to disintegrate.

Night. Huangfu Milled on the north bank of the Yangtze River, lit bunches of Wei grass, soldiers each held two torches, and the river was full of fire. The shadows of soldiers coming and going, people leaning on their backs and neighing horses, were cast into the water, and Li Luan's scouts hurriedly reported to them, thinking that government troops had begun to cross the river. After hearing this, Li Lan was terrified to death, and did not make any arrangements for military resistance, so he fled with his wife, children, and a few cronies. When it was dawn, it was discovered that the government army was defrauding. And he went into the city again. After preparing a boat for his escape, he sent his son Li Ling to drive the common people to Dao Jin Ling (present-day Wujin, Jiangsu). At this time, the spy hiding beside Li Lin reported to the government army: "King Yong has escaped!" As a result, the government forces in Jiangbei launched a general offensive. The pioneer of the Lee Sung style department. Arrived at Xinfeng (in present-day Dafeng, Jiangsu). Li Lan's subordinate Gao Xianqi wanted to fight back, but was surrounded by Huangfu's milling department. Huangfu Mill's subordinates shot Li Ling in the shoulder, and the rebels were defeated. Li Ling, Li Ling, Gao Xianqi and others ran 800 miles to Poyang (now Poyang, Jiangxi). He wanted to enter the city but was rejected by the chief of staff of the local military division (Sima). Enraged, Li ordered the city gates to be burned and attacked. After entering the city. He collected some weapons and food from the treasury and fled to the Lingnan area. Huangfu led the government army. Caught up with them at Da Luling (one of the "Five Ridges", in present-day Dayu County, Jiangxi). The two sides fought fiercely, Li Ling died in the chaos, and Gao Xianqi fled. Li was captured by an arrow and killed by the emperor on February 20 (there are also sources that Li was captured after the defeat and later fled. But this statement lacks strong evidence). At this point, this comical and abrupt rebellion was put to rest.

Before Li Lan was defeated, the Emperor Li Longji issued an edict saying: "Degrade Li Lan to a concubine and exile him to Fangling (now Fang County, Hubei)." It's a pity that no one has long taken his orders as an outdated "emperor" in his eyes. After Li Luan's death, his wife and children were sent to Shuzhong by Huangfu Milling, and Li Longji was heartbroken. Because Li Heng's sixteenth brother was raised by himself since he was a child, he did not announce Li Xuan's guilt to the public. just said to the person next to him: "Huangfu captured my younger brother and wanted to kill him without sending him to Shuzhong or Lingwu first, why is this?" Therefore, he is no longer reused. As for how Li Bai escaped from the chaos that night, it is still a mystery. What is certain is that he accidentally became a political prisoner because of the involvement of the "Li Lan case". It was only under Guo Ziyi's protection that he was exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to exile in Yelang (now Xinhuang, Hunan), and was pardoned on the way to exile. In his later years, he wandered and died five years later.

In recent years, some people believe that Li Ling was carrying out Li Longji's plan to cross the sea from Yangzhou to attack Fanyang, and was premeditated by Li Heng to eliminate him. This statement is too absurd, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops on land and Anshi rebels in a decisive battle (Yejun War) have not won, tens of thousands of sailors have traveled thousands of miles to attack, what results can be achieved? In short, Li Lan's rebellion and chaos really added chaos and blockage to the third brother Li Heng. Distracted the forces of the government forces and disrupted Li Heng's counterinsurgency plan. The most ruthless is the emperor's family, and the ruthlessness of the emperor's family stems from the pursuit of power. The most noteworthy thing about this kind of chase is the game of various political forces behind the princes. In order to maintain their status, vested interests either have unfounded suspicions or frequent unjust imprisonments, and ruthlessly suppress those who are potential threats. Pretenders lie dormant and wait for the right moment, ready to strike back. This life-and-death struggle for supremacy has been innumerable throughout the ages. When their relatives were wiped out as enemies and former political rivals were no longer a threat, these ruthless emperors often showed their "compassion" and "generosity" in a false way for the purpose of winning people's hearts. In fact, this is by no means a revival of their humanity, but only a self-redemption of their conscience to some extent, and an inherent posture of a victor. The experiences of losers such as Li Jiancheng, the prince of Yin, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, and Li Lan, the king of Yong, are all like this.

The life-and-death struggle of the royal family has made family affection indifferent and people's hearts like frost. From the climatic point of view, it is really in time for the cold period. The severe cold climate has brought great damage to the life of nomadic people, and has also had a great impact on the historical process of agricultural areas.

The New Tang Dynasty Book? The beginning of the Turkic Biography says: "The nomadic tribes have been plagued by the Central Plains for a long time, and historians can tell the deeds of the previous dynasty very clearly. Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the nomadic tribes has become stronger, and there were four forces that once competed with the Central Plains: Turkic, Tibetan, Uighur, and Nanzhao. At that time, the ministers put forward a lot of defensive suggestions, some of which were adopted, and some of which were shelved, and the effects were all obvious (the effect was not obvious, otherwise there would be external troubles one after another). ”

The chaotic and anxious Tang Dynasty could no longer take care of the precautions against the nomadic tribes and the traditional festivals at this time. In order to quell the Anshi Rebellion, Li Heng, who was "sick and rushed to the doctor", successively went to Tubo, Huifu, and even borrowed troops from the Arab Empire (Great Food). These brave and fierce "Foreign Legions" can indeed fight, and they have made great contributions to the cause of Li Heng and his son. But there is a saying that "it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God", and after the matter was completed, these foreign armies regarded themselves as "heroes" and "saviors of the Tang Dynasty", which brought new worries to the Tang Dynasty.

Hui (hé), also known as Uighur (hú), Uhu, and Uygur, is the ancestor of today's Uyghur and Yugur ethnic groups. The predecessor of the Hui Hui was distributed in the south of Lake Baikal in the 3rd century B.C., with the names of Dili, Eile, Tiele, Dingling, etc., and was divided into 15 tribes such as Yuansu, Xue Yantuo, and Qibi. Because it uses a large car with tall wheels and a large number of spokes, it is also called a high car. In the first year of Emperor Yang Guangye of the Sui Dynasty (605), in order to resist the oppression of the Turks, Yuan Su, Fugu, Tongluo, Bayegu and other departments formed an alliance, collectively known as Hui Hui. The Uighurs are a Chinese transliteration of the early Tang and prosperous Tang dynasties, and then they requested that the name be changed to "Uighurs" (meaning as brave as "falcons") in the fourth year of the reign of Li Shizhen (788) of the Tang Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan (716), Hui sent troops to help the Tang army attack and kill the Turkic Mosi Khan. The third year of Tianbao (744), (to be continued......)
