"Yesterday, there was an incident in Anzhou. We escaped from difficulties and returned to each other. The border school was greedy for merit and took advantage of the opportunity to occupy the base. We are waiting for the opportunity to find out who is here, but we are confused and it is difficult to apply."
——My subordinates are not honest, it’s just a misunderstanding. The merits were obvious and I was wrong.
"Either Zang or Zang are all evil, which is the clear meaning of the Yi. It is also the shamelessness of the sage to keep making progress."
——Quote from "The Book of Changes" "If a teacher comes out with law, if he doesn't know Zang, it will be bad", which means that this time his teacher is unknown, and the name is not right, so it is not smooth, and it is reasonable to lose. I am seeking death, and I deserve it; special explanation is needed. The thing is that the "enterprise" in the second half of the sentence means something different from the "enterprise" we talk about today. The meaning here is "knowing how to advance and retreat." The so-called great wisdom knows where to stop. "Enterprising" is a person from birth. The derogatory word is translated as not looking back until you hit the wall, and not crying until you see the coffin. But now most people take it literally and regard it as a complimentary word. They also ask calligraphers to write it down, frame it, and offer it to the public. On the wall, it is said to be its own corporate culture... Your company is so cultured! Arty and generous.
"It is suitable for summer rains to become more frequent, and the river waves are very swollen. The command has not yet arrived, and the facts have been violated."
——It’s not that I didn’t care. By coincidence, there was a flood and communication was interrupted. By the time I contacted them, they had already committed an unforgivable crime.
"The wretched Mu Ruizi, the crooked shape is Chen's purpose."
——Although it is difficult to pronounce and seems to be difficult to understand, this flattery is really overwhelming. Let’s just translate it literally: I who am humble have bathed in your holy qualifications, and I who misbehave listen to your imperial edict.
"Be captured by him and show his kindness."
——Returning my prisoners of war is enough to show your wisdom and kindness.
"They are like military laws and regulations, they cannot be mutually exclusive."
——However, neither your country nor our country will allow it in terms of emotion or reason, whether it is military law or national law.
Then he said that although you have a good life, I am really embarrassed and cannot obey your order. Du Guangye and other 570 people have already sent it to Huaibei. Please be prepared to sign for it.
Suzhou, under the control of the Later Jin Dynasty, received the prisoners and letters and transferred them to Bianzhou.
Shi Jingtang replied:
"Yesterday's disaster occurred in Anlu, and it provoked Hanyang. When the heat of the three volts steamed, it moved the armies of the two dynasties."
——I admit it’s all the sun’s fault.
"How could I expect that the commander-in-chief would not submit a plan..."
——Don’t let ignorant warriors take the blame.
"I have given up all my captivity and returned to my hometown. Not only do I want to serve my people, but I also want to be a good neighbor..."
——The reason why I let them go home is not just out of mercy, but to seek good neighborliness and promote friendly exchanges between the two countries. Do you know my good intentions?
"... I hope to follow the article of forgiveness of sins and use it to praise the beauty of benevolence. Du Guangye and others will be restored."
Shi Jingtang ordered people to send Du Guangye and others back to Huainan.
When the ship entered the Huaihe River, Huainan Xu Zhigao sent regular warships to block the river and said, "Go back!"
The officials of the Later Jin Dynasty had no choice but to send Du Guangye and others to Suzhou again, and then reported the obstruction of crossing the river.
This classical Chinese phrase is perfect to describe Du Guangye and others: Pigs don’t gnaw, dogs don’t bite, grandma doesn’t love them, and uncles don’t love them.
The enemy does not want it, but our own people reject it. Anywhere, wherever you like. More than 500 people have become homeless social outcasts and legal gangsters. All that is left is being messy in the wind and doubting life.
In the end, the kind-hearted Shi Jingtang showed mercy and issued an edict to let Du Guangye and others come to the capital, grant them corresponding official positions according to their original military positions, and reorganize them into the "Xianyi Capital".
At the same time, Hunan Ma Xifan reported that he had sent General Zhang Shaodi to lead 50,000 elite troops and a hundred warships to assemble in Yuezhou, preparing to go down the river to cooperate with the Central Army to suppress Huaiyi.
Shi Jingtang praised his loyalty and vetoed his proposal to march.
In July of the fifth year of Tianfu (940), Shi Jingtang pacified Nanchu (Ma Xifan of Hunan), surrendered Huainan first with troops and then with courtesy, and normalized diplomatic relations with Min (Wang Yanxi of Fujian).
In order to seek a peaceful and stable external environment, Shi Jingtang has been working hard, but has never been realized.
When Li Jinquan defected, commanders Sang Qian, Wang Wanjin, and Cheng Yanwen refused to follow and were brutally killed by Li Jinquan. However, the commander-in-chief Pang Shourong ridiculed them for being stupid and ignorant of current affairs in order to flatter Li Jinquan.
After the recovery of Anzhou, the Later Jin Dynasty carried out rehabilitation and liquidation, posthumously awarded official positions to Jia Renmao, Sang Qian and others, and beheaded Pang Shourong.
Weizhou Liu Zhiyuan and Luoyang Yang Guangyuan came to Beijing to congratulate.
Shi Jingtang held a grand celebration banquet. While he was drinking heavily, he moved from the pacification of Anzhou to the pacification of Weizhou. He exchanged cups with Yang Guangyuan, the hero of the pacification of Wei, and then he suddenly realized, "Oh, in pacifying the Weizhou rebellion, your left and right generals have all made contributions. There is no time to reward them, now, let them all be promoted to governors and enjoy the glory and wealth."
As a result, several of Yang Guangyuan's cronies were appointed governors of various states, which divided Yang Guangyuan's power in a grand manner. Later, Yang Guangyuan, a hero of the Ping Wei Dynasty, was given the title of Taiwei, Zhongshu Ling, and the title of King Dongping. At the same time, he moved the Pinglu Army to Qingzhou; Laizhou was also promoted to a defense state, and Ruzhou defense envoy Yang Chenggui (son of Yang Guangyuan) led the Laizhou defense envoy.
Luoyang and Ruzhou are both in today's Henan Province, while Qingzhou is located in the middle of today's Shandong Province, and Laizhou is in the easternmost part of Shandong Province. Shi Jingtang expelled Yang Guangyuan's forces from the important areas of the two capitals (Bianzhou-Luoyang) to the Shandong Peninsula in order to reward Ping Wei. It was called reward, but it was actually exile.
It can be seen that Shi Jingtang's focus of prevention has shifted to Yang Guangyuan since Fan Yanguang.
Perhaps Yang Guangyuan believed that the time was not yet ripe, or perhaps he knew that he was being targeted by Shi Jingtang. Although he had objections, he still chose to develop obscenely. However, those young people whose strength is far inferior to Yang Guangyuan do not care about martial ethics, let alone first come, first served. They scramble to be the first and embark on the road of rebellion.
Following Fan Yanguang's rebellion in Weizhou, the "Er'an Group" debuted in the C position, one from the south and the other from the north, forming a flanking attack, echoing each other from afar, and became the most famous rebellion in the Shi Jingtang period.
The person who advocated this "Er'an Rebellion" was An Chongrong, the governor of Zhenzhou Chengde Army.
An Chongrong is considered a rising star in the political arena. He rose up through the rocket of political speculation and entered the circle of feudal lords. Two generations of his father and ancestors were governors. An Chongrong himself inherited the savagery and toughness of the Daibei nomads. He was quite physically strong and good at riding and shooting. He served as the patrol leader of the border defense army in the Daibei area.
Later, because he committed a crime, he was arrested by his immediate boss, Gao Xingzhou, and sent to prison. According to the law, he should be executed. An Chongrong's mother hurried to the capital to make connections. An Chongjie was in power at the time, and An Chongjie stepped in to coordinate the matter and save An Chongrong's life.
An Chongrong and An Chongjie should not be related by blood. An Chongjie's father is An Fuqian, who is from Yingzhou, while An Chongrong's father is An An, and his grandfather is An Congyi, who is from Shuozhou. As for the similarity of his name, it should be a coincidence when he was naturalized as a Han name. At that time, the surname "An" was common among the northern nomadic people, such as An Lushan. Later, because An Lushan had such a bad reputation, many Sogdians changed their surname to "An".
