Chapter 56 The Centenary Keynote of the Peninsulas History
Chapter 2181 The history of the peninsula·A century-old tone
It can be said that the rebellion launched by Liu Jiyuan and Liu Jichu was destined to fail from the very beginning. Even beforehand, one could make an absolute judgment that there was no possibility of success.
Politically speaking, Yu Annan and Yu Annan are betraying their ancestors and the royal court. They are untenable in terms of their righteousness and it is difficult to win the hearts of the Han people (the hearts of the Han people as the core ruling class).
In the Han Dynasty, this was a challenge to the vassal system that had been completely established since King Sejong, or it was at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne. Regardless of the reason, this behavior was destined not to be recognized by the court, but would instead be punished.
Even if we take a step back and say that the two princes have a strong army and really defeat the Jiaozhi court and usurp the throne of Annan, they will inevitably encounter a more powerful counterattack. And the possibility of the empire's center being directly killed is pushed back, and only an edict is issued.
, the feudal states surnamed Liu in the Peninsula and Southeast Asia cannot remain indifferent, at least Linyi, which borders Annan, will never sit idly by.
Liu Jirong, the third generation king of Linyi, is just as his name suggests, a war monger. During his more than ten years in power, he has launched more than 20 wars, half of which were against Chenla in the north, forcing Chenla to move westward.
The annexation of the Tonle Sap Lake area, which was originally the core of Chenla's rule, was basically completed.
As for the other Nanyang feudal states, whether it is for the sake of justice and orthodoxy or simply for profit, they will take action under normal circumstances. You must know that among the Nanyang kingdoms, Annan is undoubtedly the most mature and wealthy area, and the surrounding areas have also never been affected.
There is no shortage of prying eyes and coveting hearts.
At the same time, due to the great development of sea trade, mature routes, and frequent exchanges, the connections between Southeast Asian countries have become increasingly closer. In terms of military deployment and transportation logistics, sea transportation has become more efficient and convenient.
Therefore, the rebellion of Wen and Wan Erhou was doomed to fail from a strategic perspective. The two rebelled out of resentment and did not consider the political consequences at all, so how could they end well.
On the other hand, even if we put aside the interference of all external factors, as far as the Annan Kingdom itself is concerned, the two states of Wen and Wan are plus the two states of Gansu and Mongolia that were infected by them, and the combined power of the four states is more powerful than the
However, the strength possessed by the Jiaozhi imperial court was really dwarfed by that of the mighty.
The energy that Annan Kingdom can mobilize can be said to be several times or even ten times that of the second princes. Therefore, as long as they can withstand the waves of attacks from the rebels, what awaits them is failure.
When the general Zheng Quan dragged the main force of the rebel army to Nghe An City, it is not difficult to imagine the subsequent development of the situation. With the 50,000 counter-rebellion army formed by the Jiaozhi court, under the leadership of the commander Zhao Congzhen (the great-grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the consort Zhao
After marching southward under the command of Zhi's brother), the situation suddenly turned and slipped in a direction that was not conducive to the rebels.
The two sides fought several battles in Huanzhou. The rebels, who were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, support, and food, finally failed. Under the joint expedition of Zhao Congzhen and Zheng Quan, they fell into a rout. Liu Jiyuan and Liu Jichu led the remaining troops and fled back to their home base in embarrassment.
The Annan King's Division, led by Zhao Congzhen and Zheng Quan, crossed the plateau to the west and attacked Wen and Wan Erzhou, intending to wipe out all the remaining bandits and completely eliminate the two stubborn diseases for the Annan court.
This process, back and forth, lasted for three years. There were many reasons, including the fact that the Second Marquis had been operating for a long time, occupied a favorable location, and was stubborn in defense, but this was obviously secondary.
There are two main reasons. One is that after the great victory, fighting broke out again within the Jiaozhi court, and some people who were holding back people appeared; the other is that after the rebellion of the two princes, the people in Annan who had been oppressed for many years and
The rebellion of the indigenous people who were resentful and dissatisfied with the Han people caused trouble in Lianzhou County and Jiaozhi. While they besieged Wen and Wanzhou, they also had to put a lot of energy into suppressing the rebellions in various places.
Previously, Liu Jiyuan also specially sent envoys to contact the Dong tribe and the Barbarian tribe, promising huge profits to induce them to rebel and rebel and respond to his army.
But no matter how protracted the process seemed, with Jiaozhi determined to cure the stubborn disease, it would be a matter of time for Wen and Wan Erhou to fall. Liu Jichu could not bear the pressure at first, and in September of the second year of Zhengtong, he surrendered to Zheng.
Quan, together with his entire clan and staff, were sent to Jiaozhi to be held accountable for questioning. In anticipation of his surrender, Liu Jidan only ordered Liu Jichu himself to be executed. As for his family and descendants, they were spared their lives and were demoted to common people and driven out of Annan.
In comparison, Liu Jiyuan was much tougher. Faced with the siege of Zhao Congzhen's army, he refused to surrender. He relied on Wen Dan's solid city defense and the money and food he had stored for many years to fight hard, and even launched counterattacks from time to time, breaking through several times.
Zhao Congzhen besieged him and forced him to retreat and reorganize.
In this way, Liu Jiyuan, who had been delayed until the spring of the fourth year of Zhengtong and persisted for another year and a half, was finally defeated by Zhao Congzhen when he was in trouble both internally and externally and had no way to survive.
This stubborn resistance angered Zhao Congzhen and also angered the Jiaozhi court. In the end, Liu Jiyuan's entire female family members and dozens of descendants were all executed. Liu Jiyuan's own body was also crushed and ashes were thrown away, in order to make this rebellious person
The unruly people will never be reincarnated.
The rebellion that occurred in Annan from the second to the fourth year of Zhengtong had far-reaching influence and great significance. This was a rebellion started by the clan, and it was also the rebellion between the royal families in the Southeast Asian countries from then on.
There were obviously more and more fights, and they became more intense. Under the feudal system, those princes who had food, money, and soldiers also had the ability to launch rebellions at any time.
At the same time, this situation of warring against each other gradually became bloody, starting and marking the execution of Liu Jiyuan's entire clan. Although they share the same origin, or even the same species, after hundreds of generations, the so-called blood connection is just an adjective.
, far less than power, interests are more attractive to people's hearts.
It can be said that the "Second Marquis Rebellion" was like opening a Pandora's box, with negative impacts continuing to spread to the surrounding areas, profoundly affecting the entire Nanyang region, and promoting the transition of the Nanyang feudal history to the next stage.
As far as Annan is concerned, the impact is more intuitive. On the downside, the fierce and protracted war greatly depleted Annan's national power, interrupted its upward development, and intensified the struggle and chaos within the court.
.
Taking this as a lesson, since the end of Liu Jidan's reign, the Annan royal family seized the throne by force, and coups began to occur more frequently, which accelerated the decline of royal power and the rise of powerful families.
Of course, there is a positive side. At least after this chaos, the Jiaozhi court completed actual control over the vast area of the four southwest states. Liu Jiyuan and Liu Jichu, the second prince, still played a positive role in the development of Sinicization.
At the same time, after the chaos, feeling the increasingly acute conflicts between Han and Yi, as well as the resentment of the indigenous people who constituted the majority of the population, the Jiaozhi court began to speak out against these indigenous people from all aspects.
Specifically speaking, it is to further absorb them into the military and political system of Annan Kingdom from the political, economic and even military aspects. Of course, the basic premise is that they must be Hanized obedient subjects.
It seems that this is the policy of Chinese assimilation that has been continued, but compared with the past, there are bolder concessions of power and benefits, and the real ethnic assimilation of the Annan region has begun to accelerate.
This led to the rise of a large number of indigenous dignitaries in the following decades, and they played an important role in the Annan system. The rise of this group of people not only consolidated the rule of the Annan Kingdom, but also made the Annan Kingdom
The political environment is more complex and changeable.
It was not until a hundred years later that Annan truly formed a mature, stable, mixed political system
