In 715, due to the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions began to tilt towards the Tang Dynasty. Tubo's expansion in the Western Regions was defeated continuously, and even the Arab Empire could not gain any advantage. First, in the third year of Kaiyuan (715), Tubo and Dashi jointly established Alaya as king and sent troops to attack the country of Bahanna, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The Censor Zhang Xiaosong and Anxi Protector Lu Xiu led more than 10,000 troops to defeat the Tubo Dashi coalition, seized the important vassal state of Bahanna, and strengthened the Western Regions. [218-219]

In the fifth year of Kaiyuan (717) in the year of Kaiyuan, Tuqishi joined forces with Tubo and Dashi to attack the four towns, and was defeated again by the Tang Dynasty.[218]

After both the Arab war against China in the third year of Kaiyuan and the fifth year of Kaiyuan, Arabia still persisted in expanding to Central Asia. Due to its huge geographical advantages, and because of the Tang army's large-scale wars in Qinghai and Tubo during this period, it had no time to take care of the Western Regions. Arab influence gradually emerged. The influence of military and religious influence made the Tang Dynasty's vassal states, Lite, which were originally in the Western Regions, turn to the Arab side. In order to fight against Arab expansion in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty used the thunder cavalry to deal with a heavy blow to Arabia. [218]

In the sixth year of Kaiyuan (718), the Dashi general Galah led his troops to the north and won the victory in the northern part of the river and was ready to invade Chinese territory, but was surrounded by the Turks. After paying the ransom, he was finally saved. [218]

In the 11th year of Kaiyuan (723) year, the Great Food Khurasan had already been promoted to Muslen. At the beginning of his term, he improvised troops to attack Dongbahanna, and suddenly cavalry issued an order to go out to fight and defeat him. [218]

The Tang Dynasty's national name was "Tang", which was once an ancient place name of the Jin Dynasty. Li Hu, the grandfather of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, was one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty. He was posthumously named "Duke of Tang". Later, his title was passed down to Li Yuan. [39] Li Yuan was a palace in Jinyang during the Sui Dynasty. He raised an army under the name of "Sui". He would defeat each battle and go straight to Chang'an. After Emperor Gong of Sui, Yang You abdicated the title of "Tang" and established his capital in Chang'an. Because the king's surname was Li, he was called Li Tang and respectfully called the Tang Dynasty. [40-44]

HistoryEdit

Founding and unifying

The royal family of the Tang Dynasty came from the Li family of Longxi. It is said that Li Yang, the founding monarch of the Xiliang Kingdom of the Sixteen Kingdoms, was his distant ancestor. At that time, the Li family was also an important member of the Guanlong Group of the Northern Wei Dynasty. [39][45] The Li family of Longxi emerged famous generals such as Li Guang, the flying general of the Western Han Dynasty. In the "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang", it is called the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, a descendant of Li Er (Laozi). During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the central policy of the Guanlong Group was followed, and the Li family was given the Hu family "Oye Family". At the end of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui restored him to the Li family. [46][47] During the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, due to the failure of Emperor Yang of Sui to abuse national strength and the failure of the three campaigns of Goguryeo, civil rebellion occurred at the end of the Sui Dynasty. [48] Li Yuan saw that the world was in chaos and the form of destruction of the Sui Dynasty could not be reversed, so he had the idea of ​​replacing it. [49]

In the later years of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei competed for the throne, but were both deposed and the ninth son, Li Zhi, King Jin, was appointed as the crown prince. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan (649), Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi ascended the throne.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he announced to his ministers: "If any matter is inconvenient to the people, it is appropriate to be reported, and those who do not complete the matter will be submitted. [63] And he also led the governor to the cabinet to ask about the suffering of the people; Emperor Taizong ordered the emperor to Chongjian, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang immediately summoned the order: "From the officials in the capital and other states, those who offered eagles, falcons, dogs and horses, they were punished." [63][64] Emperor Gaozong of Tang, the emperor and ministers, Xiao Gui, followed the emperor, and followed the laws of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and were enforced according to the laws of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Therefore, during the Yonghui period, the border was stable and the people were prosperous, and the legacy of Zhenguan was the legacy of the Zhenguan, which was known in history as the "Yonghui Governance". [65-66] During his reign, the Tang Dynasty had the widest territory.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the population increased from less than three million households during the Zhenguan period to 3.8 million households.[2]

Wu Zhou usurped the Tang Dynasty

After the middle of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, the real power of the court was gradually controlled by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian was originally a talented person of Emperor Taizong of Tang. After Emperor Taizong died, he was summoned to the palace by Emperor Gaozong. He won the power struggle and was appointed as the queen. He was known in history as "simple and smart, and also involved in literature and history" [67]. In 660 AD, Li Zhi asked her to deal with the government affairs due to physical reasons, so he was called the "Two Saints" together with Emperor Gaozong of Tang. [57]                                                                                                                                                                                        

Under the rule of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the Tang Dynasty's national strength was unprecedentedly strong and gradually entered a prosperous era, known in history as the "Kaiyuan Prosperity".[82][108-111]

Anshi Rebellion

After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang changed his reign to Tianbao, he inherited peace for a long time and the country was in trouble. The rulers gradually lost the will to seek governance. They were proud and began to indulge in pleasure. From then on, they ignored state affairs. After taking Yang Yuhuan as the concubine, they became even more addicted to wine and sex. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang appointed Li Linfu, who was notorious for "sweet and sweet-mouthed sword", as prime minister for eighteen years, which made the government increasingly corrupt. After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong became prime minister, and the situation of eunuchs interfering in politics, and Gao Lishi's power was very popular. [112][113] Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was very happy in the late period of time, and for this reason, the border generals often provoked wars against foreign races to invite military achievements. At that time, the military system was changed from the government system to the recruiting system, which combined the military governors with soldiers in the military town, resulting in the situation of border generals' special army. Among them, An Lushan, a Hu man who controlled heavy troops, was the most famous. [114]

Emperor Wuzong of Tang did not take advantage of the situation to take further action against him, but promoted him to the commander of the military commander to lead the left and right armies. He was promoted in name but was deprived of control of the imperial guards. Qiu Shiliang understood the attitude of Emperor Wuzong of Tang towards him and knew that his situation was not good, so he retreated to advance and resigned from his health. Emperor Wuzong of Tang followed the situation and agreed to his resignation, and changed him to the position of the eunuch. The eunuch did not take long, based on the fact that he was a big shot.

The situation was over and there was no hope of a comeback, so Qiu Shiliang was forced to retire. Emperor Wuzong of Tang defeated the Uighur Uighur Wujie Khan and his tribes, and quelled the rebellion of Zelu Town inward. During his reign, the vassal states surrendered. Emperor Wuzong of Tang revitalized the court in a series of political achievements, known in history as Huichang's revival. Emperor Wuzong of Tang attached importance to Taoism and prohibited Buddhism, Nestorians, etc., so in the history of Buddhism, one of the three martial arts who destroyed Buddhism, named Wu, was named Huichang's destruction of Buddhism. [82][123]

The Greatest Remedy

Administrative division

The Tang Dynasty created the system of Taohe Prefectures in the history of Chinese administrative regions. In the first year of Zhenguan (627), Emperor Taizong of Tang divided the world into 10 roads: Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan, Lingnan, etc. However, these roads had no actual power. The city levels in the Tang Dynasty were mainly the General Administration Office, the Governor's Office, the Jiedushi, etc., and the following prefectures were prefectures and counties. In the 14th year of Zhenguan (640), a total of 360 prefectures (prefectures) were established nationwide, with 1557 counties under its jurisdiction. During the Kaiyuan period, Shannan and Jiangnan were divided into east and west, and three roads in Beijing, capital, and Qianzhong were added to form a pattern of fifteen roads. The roads were established, prefectures, prefectures, and prefectures were established. In the late Kaiyuan period, there were 328 prefectures and 1,573 counties in the country. [135-137]
