The arrival of the autumn rain made Zhou Tianle's mood feel much better, listening to the wind and rain blowing on the window, making people feel quiet, and the rainy night was the most suitable for sleeping. Another reason why Zhou Tianle doesn't like to go out is that he hopes that time can dilute everything, so that everyone can forget that there is such a person as me, and it is best to be able to completely ignore my existence, just like there has never been a person like me at school, and everything is safe.

Zhou Tianle likes rain more and more, and he doesn't know why, maybe it is the rainy night that makes him feel calm, or maybe the rainy night can wash away the foul language spreading in the air. When it rains at night, I lie under the covers, and when it rains during the day, I look at history. This life changed until he received a letter sent to him before he committed suicide, and his world was on the verge of collapse and chaos.

Five dynasties

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, in the Central Plains, there were five dynasties of the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later dynasties with their capitals in Kaifeng and Luoyang, as well as the regimes that were divided into Western Shu, Jiangnan, Lingnan and Hedong, collectively known as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Zhu Wen was originally the general of the Yellow Nest. After the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival. Later, it gradually swept away many separatist forces in present-day North China, and eliminated the eunuch group that had long held the military and political power of the imperial court.

In 912 AD, Zhu Wen was killed by his second son, Zhu Youqi. The following year, Zhu Wen's third son, Zhu Youzhen, became emperor after quelling the rebellion. Later Liang used troops for many years, and the country's power declined.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong, the chief of the Shatuo tribe in present-day Shanxi, participated in the suppression of the Huangchao Uprising and was appointed as the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu. He controlled the central and northern regions of present-day Shanxi, and Tang Zhaozong made him king of Jin. After Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty, he fought endlessly with the Later Liang in the name of supporting the Tang Dynasty, and his son Li Cunqiao took the opportunity of the civil strife in the Later Liang to attack Hebei and defeat the Liang army. In 923 A.D., Li Cunqiao ascended the throne in Weizhou, with the country name Tang, known as the Later Tang Dynasty in history. In the same year, he sent troops south to capture Kaifeng, and Zhu Youzhen, the late emperor of Liang, committed suicide, and later Liang died. Soon, the Later Tang Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang. In 925 AD, the Later Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Qianshu. thereafter

Li Cunqiao favored the eunuch and ignored the government, and there was a crisis in his rule. The following year, the Wei Zhou soldiers launched a rebellion, and Li Cunqiao was killed in the sound of mutiny.

Li Ke succeeded to the throne with his adopted son Li Siyuan, who abolished the harshness, reduced the land tax, and allowed the people to cast their own agricultural tools. Li Siyuan reigned for eight years, the war subsided, and the agricultural situation improved. In 933 AD, Li Siyuan's son Congrong attempted a coup d'état to seize the throne, but it did not succeed. After the death of Mingzong, he was succeeded by his son Li Conghou. The following year, Li Siyuan's adopted son Congke raised another army to seize the throne, and the country fell into chaos.

Shi Jingjiao, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, was the son-in-law of Mingzong Tang. He took advantage of the civil strife in the Later Tang Dynasty to declare himself a vassal to the Khitan in 936 A.D., and recognized the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang as his father, and exchanged Khitan assistance at the cost of the sixteen states of Youji. In November of the same year, the Khitan lord Yelude Guang set up Shi Jingjiao as the emperor, and the country was called Jin, known as the Later Jin Dynasty in history. Subsequently, Shi Jingjiao invaded Luoyang, and later Tang died.

In 942 AD, Shi Jingjiao died and was succeeded by his nephew Shi Chonggui. Shi Chonggui was quite disrespectful to the Khitan. Yelu Deguang, with the assistance of the general Zhao Yanshou and others, fought with the Later Jin Dynasty for five years. In December 946, the Khitan army captured Kaifeng, captured Shi Chonggui, moved it north, and the Later Jin Dynasty perished.

Liu Zhiyuan was the envoy of the Hedong Festival in the Later Jin Dynasty. When the Later Jin Dynasty fought with the Khitan, he recruited soldiers and claimed to guard against the Khitan, but he did not move. After Emperor Liao moved Shi Chonggui to the north, he proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan in February 947 AD, with the country name Han and the Later Han Dynasty in history.

After Liu Zhiyuan's death, his son Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, that is, Emperor Yin of Han. In 950 A.D., Li Shouzhen and other feudal towns rebelled, Emperor Han Yin ordered Guo Wei to be peaceful, but Emperor Han Yin was jealous of Guo Wei and wanted to kill him, Guo Wei had no choice but to rebel, Emperor Han Yin was killed by the rout, and the Later Han Dynasty perished.

It was founded four years ago, and there were two emperors.

Emperor Yin of Han killed Guo Wei failed, Guo Wei led troops south, invaded Kaifeng, in the first month of 951 AD, Guo Wei ascended the throne as the emperor, the country name is Zhou, known as Hou Zhou in history. In 953 AD, Guo Wei named his son Chai Rong as the king of Jin, and the following year Guo Wei died, and Chai Rong succeeded him as emperor. During Chai Rong's reign, he reorganized the army and trained the troops, reduced taxes, and made the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty clear and the people rich. He fought in the south and in the north, defeated Houshu in the west, destroyed the Southern Tang in the south, and broke the Khitan in the north. In 959 AD, Chai Rong died of illness, and Chai Zongxun ascended the throne. In 960 AD, Chai Zongxun was forced to give the Zen position to Zhao Kuangyin, and the Later Zhou perished.

Ten Kingdoms

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jian occupied the land of Xichuan and Dongchuan. In 903 A.D., he was named the king of Shu by the Tang Dynasty. In 907 AD, Wang Jian refused to accept the rule of Later Liang and established himself as the imperial name Shu, known as Qianshu in history.

After Wang Jian's death in 918, Wang Yan succeeded to the throne. After the later lord Wang Yan succeeded to the throne, the government of the Shu State was turbid, and the atmosphere of selling officials prevailed, and the endowment was harsh. In 925 AD, Zhuang Zong sent troops to destroy Qianshu and appointed Dong Zhang as the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, and Meng Zhixiang as the envoy of the Yin and Xichuan Festivals of Chengdu.

In 933 AD, Meng Zhixiang captured Dongchuan and killed Dong Zhang. Later Tang named him the king of Shu. The following year, Meng Zhixiang was proclaimed emperor and rebuilt the Shu Kingdom, known as Hou Shu in history. In the same year, Meng Zhixiang died and was succeeded by his son Meng Chang. In the later period of Meng Chang's reign, the monarch and ministers were extravagant. It was destroyed by the Song Dynasty in 965 AD.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi was named King of Wu by the Tang Dynasty in 902 AD. At that time, the general Xu Zhihe held great power, he reduced the endowment, suspended the army and the people, and the country became rich and strong. In 927 AD, Yang Xingmi's son Yang Pu, the king of Wu, was proclaimed emperor. In 937 A.D., Xu Zhihe (that is, Li Yu) deposed Emperor Wu Yang Pu, called himself emperor, the country name Daqi, the following year changed the surname Li, changed the country name Tang, and the history was called the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu made good neighbors to the outside world, rectified the government internally, and forbade the oppression of good people as untouchables, which was unanimously praised by the officers and soldiers.

In 943 AD, Li Yu died and was succeeded by his son Li Jing. In 945 AD, Li Jing sent troops to defeat the state of Min in civil strife and became a great power in the south. Since then, Li Jing has become more and more arrogant, the government is chaotic, and the service is heavy. A few years later, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Chu, plundered its gold silks, treasures, cangsu, etc., and migrated to Jinling, which greatly lost the hearts of the people, and the Hunan states gained and lost, and the national strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty declined rapidly. In 958 AD, Li Jing dedicated the 14 states of Jiangbei and Huainan. Called the minister after the week. In 961 AD, Li Jing died, and his son Li Yu ascended the throne as the queen. In 975 AD, the Song sent troops to cross the river in the south and broke through Jinling, and the later lord Li Yu was captured, and the Southern Tang Dynasty died.

Qian Biao occupied the Hangzhou region at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and later, he annexed eastern Zhejiang, and Tang Zhaozong appointed him as the envoy of Zhenhai and Zhendong Jiedu. In 907 AD, Later Liang named him the king of Wuyue. Wu Yue's territory was small, and Qian Hao made an appointment with his descendants, and befriended the Central Plains court for generations to contain the intrusion of Wu and the Southern Tang Dynasty. During the more than 80 years of Qian's rule, the Wuyue region was relatively stable and economically prosperous. In 978 A.D., Qian Yu entered the Song Dynasty, and Wu Yue died.

Wang Chao and Wang Zhenzhi brothers occupied the entire territory of Fujian at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Zhaozong appointed Wang Chao as the envoy of the festival. In 909 A.D., the Later Liang Feng King was judged as the King of Fujian. Wang Shenzhi ruled for nearly 30 years, practiced frugality, and was rich and stable in his territory. After Wang Xianzhi's death, the political situation was very unstable. The successors of the Min regime all believed in Taoist witchcraft, and they built a large number of buildings, in addition to building palaces, but also built many huge Taoist temples. If the expenses are insufficient, they will openly sell their official titles and extort money. So much so that in 945 AD, it was destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Ma Yin occupied Tan and Heng Prefectures at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and was appointed as the envoy of Hunan Jiedu, and then occupied Wu, He and other prefectures of Guiguan. In 907 A.D., he was named the king of Chu and built a palace in Changsha. After Ma Yin's death, the sons were in dispute, and the political and criminal sentences were disordered. In 951 AD, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Chu.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yin, the Lingnan Dongdao Jiedu, gradually pacified the separatist forces.

Liu Yan and his heirs were both brutal and debaucherous. In 971 AD, the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

In 907 AD, Gao Jixing, a general of the Later Liang Dynasty, was appointed as the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu and stationed in Jiangling. In 924 A.D., the Later Tang Dynasty named him the king of Nanping. Jingnan was originally located in eight states, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was mostly occupied by neighboring roads. After Gao Jixing's secession, Nanping only occupied the three prefectures of Jing, Gui and Xia, and was the weakest among the ten countries. Its rulers can only ask for gifts from the surrounding countries that claim to be emperors. In 963 AD, Nanping was destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

The only country in the north of the Ten Kingdoms was the Northern Han. In 951 AD, when Guo Wei destroyed the Han Emperor, Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother Liu Chong also occupied the twelve states in Hedong and called the emperor, still taking Han as the country name, and was known as the Northern Han Dynasty in history. The Northern Han Dynasty was barren and poor, and the servitude was heavy. The ruler formed a Liao to help, and guarded the territory. In 979 AD, the Song soldiers conquered Taiyuan, and the Northern Han Dynasty died.
