Chapter 7 The 1930s (930-939)

1. In spring, the first month, Dong Zhang, the commander (Jiedushi) of the Dongchuan Theater (headquartered in Zizhou) affiliated to the Later Tang Empire (the capital of Henan Province), sent troops to build seven a fortress. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Meng Zhixiang, the commander of the Xichuan War Zone (headquartered in Chengdu), sent his deputy commander (Jiedu deputy envoy) Zhao Jiliang to Zizhou to reconcile with Dong Zhang and establish a friendship. *Hu Sanxing said: Dong Zhang lived next to Meng Zhixiang in Dongchuan (headquarters in Zizhou), but they had never interacted with each other, and even resented each other for fighting over salt (refer to March 1928).Now Dong Zhang proposes, and Meng Zhixiang sends envoys to seek peace, in order to fear the central government's crusade.On the same boat, even the Hu people in the north and the Yue people in the south will be as close as the left hand and the right hand for a while, and this is exactly the situation now.An Zhonghui was worried that the two rivers would be domineering and difficult to control, but he could not use their conflicts to make them fight against themselves, but to promote their integration into one body. Is it a good strategy?The Art of War says: If the opponents are united, find a way to separate them.What An Chonghui did was exactly the opposite.

Guo Zaishu, the deputy minister of the vassal affairs department (Honglu Shaoqing), suggested casting big coins with a denomination of five thousand, three thousand, and one thousand.The government reprimanded him for not having any common sense of economics (minting large denomination coins will cause the coins to depreciate rapidly), but he dared to talk nonsense and was relegated to the deputy director of the military supply department (Wei Wei Shaoqing), but enjoyed the establishment The treatment of the deputy minister of the interior. 2. The Southern Wu Empire (capital Jiangdu Prefecture) changed the title of Yang Che, the king of Pingyuan, to be the king of Dehua.

3. On February 1st, Zhao Jiliang, deputy commander (deputy envoy of Jiedu) of Later Tang Xichuan (headquarters in Chengdu), returned to Chengdu and warned Meng Zhixiang (commander of Xichuan), saying: "Dong Zhang is cruel and greedy. He is very successful, but lacks wisdom and strategy. I'm afraid they will suddenly turn against us." Li Renhan and Zhang Ye, the commanders-in-chief of Xichuan (du commanders), held a banquet for Meng Zhixiang; two days ago, a nun informed Meng Zhixiang that the two generals conspired to kill him at the banquet.As a result of Meng Zhixiang's investigation, it was found that there was no such thing.

On February 3, Meng Zhixiang arrested Du Yanchang (du, surname) and Wang Xingben, the middle-ranking officers (military academy) who first spread the rumor, and cut them in half. On February 4th, Meng Zhixiang went to Li Renhan's house for a banquet alone without a guard. Li Renhan kowtowed to the ground, exchanging tears and said, "Old soldiers (proclaimed) can only repay their great kindness by dying!" From then on, The generals were all close to Meng Zhixiang. On February 18th, Meng Zhixiang and Dong Zhang jointly wrote to Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie, 64 years old), Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty (the second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty), and said: "Two Sichuans (Xichuan, Dongchuan) heard that the Central Committee After setting up a war zone (Baoning War Zone, refer to October 1929) in Langzhong (the county where the government of Langzhou is located), Mian (Mianyang City, Sichuan Province) and Sui (Suining City, Sichuan Province) were added to the garrison, which was very frightening and worrying. " Li Siyuan issued an edict to comfort and persuade.

On February 21st, Li Siyuan went to the southern suburb of Luoyang (the county where the capital Henan Province is located) to offer sacrifices to the gods at a circular altar.Li Congxuan (Li Jixuan), the commander and supreme legislator (also Zhongshu Ling and envoy) of Fengxiang Theater (headquartered in Fengxiang Mansion), went to the capital (the capital of Henan Province) to accompany the sacrifice. On March 8, Li Siyuan transferred Li Congyu to be the commander of the Xuanwu theater (headquartered in Bianzhou). 4. On March 9th, Emperor Yang Pu (31 years old this year) of Southern Wu Emperor (the first Emperor Rui) made his son Jiangdu King Yang Lian the crown prince.

5. On March 12, Li Siyuan, Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty (second Mingzong) appointed Zhu Hongzhao, director of court affairs (Xuanhui envoy), as the commander of the Fengxiang theater. Kang Fu, the new commander of the Shuofang Theater (headquartered in Lingzhou), reported that Baojing Town (Yongning County, Ningxia) was conquered, and Li Kuangbin, the leader of the people, was defeated (Li Kuangbin's affairs, refer to September 1929). Later Tang government ordered Anyi theater (headquartered in Luzhou) to restore its original name Zhaoyi theater (renamed Anyi, refer to April 1922).

Li Siyuan was about to promote Concubine Cao Shu as Empress. Concubine Cao Shu said to Concubine Wang De (Huajian Shame): "I have always loved quietness and hated socializing and entertainment. You should take this role." Concubine Wang De said: "The empress is in the middle palace. The status is equal, who dares to replace it!" On March 26, Li Siyuan named Concubine Cao Shu the empress.Concubine Wang De served Empress Cao with respect and caution, and Empress Cao loved and pitied her. In the beginning, Concubine Wang De was able to be Li Siyuan's concubine because of An Chonghui's recommendation, so she was very grateful to An Chonghui.Li Siyuan's personality is frugal and simple, but after sitting on the throne for a long time (in fact, it was only four years), his life gradually became extravagant, and An Chonghui always advised him.Concubine Wang De used silk from the treasury to make carpets. An Zhonghui earnestly dissuaded her, and cited the fate of Empress Liu (the wife of the first emperor Li Cunxu) as a warning, so Concubine Wang Defei held a grudge against An Zhonghui.

Bo Yang said: Confucius said: "A gentleman loves others with virtue, and a villain loves others with appeasement." "Treat each other.Concubine Wang De is not far from Empress Liu, but it is only four years. Concubine Wang Defei has heard and seen what Empress Liu did, but she can't learn from it. Instead, she hates being mentioned by others. It can be seen that her IQ is far lower than her looks. A person's strong and impatient selfish desires will cause blind spots, and he cannot see what he should see-even if a needle is stuck in the eye, he will not feel it. He only sees what he wants to see, and he can be satisfied immediately. His own desires.As a result, blind spots continue to expand and transform into ideologies, providing a theoretical basis for defending blind spots.And this is the main reason for the powerlessness of those who are awake around them.

6. Gao Conghui (commander of Jingnan), who had recently been attached to Later Tang, sent envoys with memorials to Southern Wu, stating that the tombs of Gao’s ancestors were all in the Central Plains (Gao Jixing, a native of Xiashi, Shanzhou). Southern Wu could not be rescued in time, so he had to return to Later Tang (Jingnan was attached to Southern Wu, three years before and after, refer to June 928). Nan Wu sent a fleet to attack Gao Conghui, but they were unable to win. 7. In the later Tang Dynasty, Dong Zhang (commander of Dongchuan) was afraid that Wu Qianyu, the governor of Mianzhou, would spy on what he had done (Mianzhou belonged to the Dongchuan theater, but Wu Qianyu was appointed by the central government), and begged for tricks.

In summer, on April 1st, Dong Zhang went to the central government to recommend Wu Qianyu, who is also the chief of staff of the headquarters (and also the commander of the army), and lured him to Zizhou (Santai County, Sichuan Province) and imprisoned him. Fu Xi, the commander of the Xuanwu theater, considers himself a veteran of the empire (Fu Xi was originally a Chengde general. After Wang Rong was killed, he fought hard with Li Cunxu on both sides of the Yellow River. Refer to July 1921). , always openly confronted.An Chonghui then collected his faults and reported them to Li Siyuan. On April 4th, Li Siyuan ordered Fu Xi to retire in the name of Prince Taishi (one of the three prince teachers).

On April 5, Li Siyuan appointed Meng Zhixiang as the Supreme Legislator, and ordered Xia Luqi (Commander Wu Xin) to be the second-level prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi·envoy). Initially, when Li Siyuan was in Zhending (the county where the Zhenzhou government is located, Zhengding County, Hebei Province) (refer to February 1925), his adopted son Li Congke (Wang Congke) had a dispute with An Chonghui at a banquet and criticized each other , Li Congke beat him with his hands, and An Chonghui fled in embarrassment.After Li Congke woke up, he regretted it very much and apologized to An Zhonghui. An Zhonghui accepted it on the surface, but he always kept his grudge in his heart.But now, An Zhonghui holds the power of life and death in his hands, and even the princes Li Congrong and Li Conghou have to curry favor with him.When Li Congke was the commander of the national defense theater (headquartered in Hezhong Mansion), and also served as the second-level prime minister, An Chonghui began to take revenge. He repeatedly reported Li Congke's faults in front of Li Siyuan, but Li Siyuan ignored them.Therefore, An Zhongjiao falsely circulated Li Siyuan's edict, and ordered Yang Yanwen, the commander of the inner battalion (commander of Hezhong Yanei) of the Huguo (headquarters in Hezhong Prefecture), to drive Li Congke away by force.One day, Li Congke went out of the city to check his horses. Yang Yanwen ordered his troops to prepare for battle, closed the city gates, and refused Li Congke to return to the city.Li Congke sent someone to knock on the gate of the city, and questioned Yang Yanwen, "I have treated you well, how could I do such a thing?" Shuai went to the central government to meet." Li Congke had no choice but to retreat to Yu Township (Dongyu Township, Yongji City, Shanxi Province, 30 kilometers east of Hezhongfu), and sent an envoy to report to the Central Committee. On April 9th, when Li Congke's envoy arrived in the capital, Li Siyuan questioned An Chonghui, "How could Yang Yanwen say such a thing?" In order to lure Yang Yanwen to the capital and find out the inside story face to face, he planned to appoint Yang Yanwen as the governor of Jiangzhou (Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province) (to interrogate him when he came to the capital to thank him).But An Zhonghui insisted on the crusade, so he ordered Suo Zitong, the left-behind chief of Xidu (Jingzhao Prefecture, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), and Yao Yanchou, the infantry commander (infantry commander), to lead the army to attack.Li Siyuan warned Yao Yanchou, "Don't kill Yang Yanwen, he must be captured alive. I plan to interrogate him face to face." He ordered Li Congke to come to Luoyang.Knowing that she was framed by An Zhonghui, Li Congke immediately rushed to the capital to prove her innocence. Li Siyuan was awarded An Chongjiao and the Supreme Legislator (and Zhongshuling). When Li Congke arrived in Luoyang, Li Siyuan scolded him and ordered him to go home and contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to see him in court. On April 18th, Suo Zitong and others conquered Hezhong (Yongji City, Shanxi Province) and beheaded Yang Yanwen (this is an obvious murder). On April 20, Suo Zitong presented Yang Yanwen's head to the Central Committee.Li Siyuan severely reprimanded Yao Yanchou for not being able to save Yang Yanwen's life. An Zhongjiao instigated the prime ministers Feng Dao and Zhao Feng, and the Shangshu accused Li Congke of neglecting his duty and abandoning the land, which should be added to the crime.Li Siyuan said: "My son was framed by traitors, and the truth has not been investigated clearly. Why did he suddenly say such serious things? Could it be that he is not allowed to live in this world? I don't think you mean it!" The two left in horror.One day, Zhao Feng asked again, but Li Siyuan didn't answer.The next day, An Zhonghui went out in person and asked Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan said: "When I was a low-ranking officer (small school), my family was poor, and I relied on him as a child to go out to collect and sell horse manure to make ends meet. Until today, As the son of heaven, can I not even protect him? Since you insist that you must deal with it, then you can deal with it as you think. "An Zhonghui said: "Your Majesty, the relationship between father and son, how dare I When you speak, just listen to your Majesty's orders!" Li Siyuan said: "It is enough to teach him to stay at home, what else can I order!" On April 23, Li Siyuan ordered Suo Zitong to be the commander of the national defense theater.After Suo Zitong arrived on the mission, he accepted An Chonghui's order to collect weapons from the military and political headquarters and hand them over to the central government several times, saying that Li Congke had forged them privately.Thanks to Wang Defei's protection in the palace, Li Congke was able to escape from An Chonghui's murderous hands.The civil and military officials of the capital and all intellectuals dared not associate with Li Congke.Only Lv Qi, Director of the Sacrifice Department of the Ministry of Education of the State Council (a doctor of the Ministry of Rites) and editor of the National History Museum (compiler of the History Museum), often visits him because his residence is relatively close. Qi discussed. On April 25th, Li Siyuan added the honorary title: Emperor Shengming, Shenwu, Wende, Gongxiao. An Zhong wrote a report saying: When Wang Jianli, the commander of the Zhaoyi War Zone, passed through Weizhou (Daming County, Hebei Province), he said something that incited the morale of the army and demanded punishment. On May 3, Li Siyuan ordered Wang Jianli to retire in the name of Taifu (the second of the three masters) (An Chonghui had a feud with Wang Jianli, refer to February 1928). 8. Dong Zhang, the commander of the Dongchuan theater in the later Tang Dynasty, assembled the militia for inspection, all of them had their hair cut and tattooed on their faces.In the north of Jianmen (North Jianmen Pass, Jiange County, Sichuan Province), Yongding Pass was built and beacon fires were set up. Meng Zhixiang, the commander of the Xichuan theater, requested that thirteen salt farms including Yun’an (Yun’an Town, Northwest of Yunyang County, Chongqing City) be subordinated to Xichuan (Chengdu Prefecture, the headquarters), and that the revenue from this monopoly be used to directly supply the Ningjiang theater (Headquarters in Kuizhou) Garrison (Yun'an County belongs to Kuizhou. Xichuan stationed in Kuizhou Corps, refer to June 1928). On May 28, Li Siyuan approved it. 9. On June 1st, a solar eclipse. 10. On June 19, Emperor Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty issued an edict: the commander of the garrison area (defense envoy), the militia commander (regiment training envoy), the governor (inspector), the chief of combat staff (marching Sima), and the deputy commander of the theater (Jiedu Deputy envoys) are directly selected and appointed by the central government when there are vacancies, and each theater cannot be recommended by others (the commander of the theater appoints the subordinate officers in the theater by himself, which is a long-standing disadvantage left by the Tang Dynasty, refer to the April 1981 note). 11. Dong Zhang sent troops to plunder the Central Task Force of Sui (Wuxin Headquarters, Suining City, Sichuan Province) and Lang (Baoning Headquarters, Langzhong City, Sichuan Province). In autumn, on July 7, the two Sichuan (Xichuan, Dongchuan) theaters continued to send troops to Sui (Suining City, Sichuan Province) and Lang (Langzhong City, Sichuan Province) two prefectures, and then went to Shangshu to argue and protest. The atmosphere was tense. Only a few people dared to enter Bashu (Chongqing, Sichuan) for merchants and tourists from the Northwest and the Central Plains. 12. On August 4th, Li Xingde, Commander of the Later Tang Pongsheng Army Base (Pengsheng Army Envoy), and Zhang Jian, the military commander (ten generals), reported according to the report of the informer Bian Yanwen: "An Chongjiao recruited troops. , claiming that he wanted to attack Southern Wu himself, and asked a wizard to tell his fortune and divination for him." Li Siyuan asked An Congjin and Yao Yanchou, the commander-in-chief of the guards (commanders of the guards), and they said: "This is just a treacherous person. It's just an attempt to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and senior officials. An Chonghui has served His Majesty for 30 years (An Chonghui assisted Li Siyuan, refer to September 916), and was fortunate enough to enjoy the glory and wealth. Why bother to betray? We are willing to use the lives of the whole family " Li Siyuan, who was beheading Bian Yanwen, summoned An Chongjiao to appease and condolence, and the two monarchs and ministers were in tears. Li Siyuan ordered Zhang Yanlang, the former commander of the Zhongwu Theater (headquartered in Xuzhou), to act as the Minister of Engineering of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce) and to act as the management director of the three central financial units (the third envoy).The names of the management directors of the three central financial units began to appear from this time (the term "three divisions" appeared in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, refer to March 906. Three units: the Ministry of Finance of the State Council, the National Finance Directorate, the National Salt Iron Monopoly and Transportation Directorate). 13. Xu Zhigao (Li Zhigao), the Supreme Superintendent (Servant) of Southern Wu, enjoys a prestigious reputation because of Wang Chuanzheng, the commander-in-chief (commander of the capital) of Haizhou (Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province), and is deeply loved by his followers.Coincidentally, Chen Xuan, the commander of the Haizhou militia (regiment training envoy), was dismissed and returned to Beijing (the capital Jiangdu Prefecture). Xu Zhigao promised to replace Chen Xuan with Wang Chuanzheng.For unknown reasons, Xu Zhigao ordered Chen Xuan to return to his post, and called Wang Chuanzheng back to the capital Jiangdu (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province).Wang Chuanzheng thought it was Chen Xuan's slander and framed him, and he was furious. On August 8th, Wang Chuanzheng led his subordinates to the headquarters to bid farewell to Chen Xuan, then beheaded Chen Xuan, set fire to the city, looted wantonly, led 5,000 armed troops, and fled to Later Tang to surrender.After Xu Zhigao got the report, he said: "This is my fault!" He pardoned Wang Chuanzheng's wife and children.Lianshui (Lianshui County, Jiangsu Province · Haizhou Southwest Airlines is 100 kilometers away) Wang Yan, the military and political director (system envoy), led the army into Haizhou.Xu Zhigao ordered Wang Yan to be the general of the Weiwei (Ninth and Tenth Army of the Guard). Wang Chuanzheng is the son of Wang Wan (Wang Wan, refer to July 1989), and Wang Chuanzheng's uncle Wang Yu is the governor of Guangzhou (Huangchuan County, Henan Province).Wang Chuanzheng sent secret envoys to Guangzhou with letters. Wang Yu arrested the envoys and imprisoned them, reported to the central government, and asked to retire and return home.Xu Zhigao ordered Wang Yu to be the Chief Prosecutor of Crane Control (Yu Hou of the Capital of Control Crane).At that time, the great power of the Southern Wu government was in the hands of the Xu family, and it was especially difficult to find the generals of the imperial guards. Xu Zhigao was reused because of his prudence and loyalty. 14. On August 11th, Zhao Feng, the Prime Minister of the Later Tang Dynasty, reported: "I heard that some traitors have recently framed high-ranking officials and shaken the foundation of the country, but not all of them have been convicted." Li Siyuan arrested Li Xingde and Zhang Jian and massacred their entire family . Li Siyuan made his son Li Congrong King of Qin. On August 25, the prince Li Conghou was reappointed as King of Song. 15. Dong Guangye, the son of Dong Zhang, was the management officer (envoy) of the imperial garden in the later Tang Dynasty and worked in Luoyang.Dong Zhang wrote to him and said: "The central government split up my war zone and built another important military town. The garrison in Erchuan (Xichuan, Dongchuan, and Hanchuan) is determined to kill me (Dongchuan was originally in charge of the five states: Zimianjian Longpu, hereby It was intact at the time, and all belonged to Dong Zhang. Dong Zhang pointed out that the central government stationed heavy troops around its five states, breaking Dongchuan's natural danger advantage, and the governor of Mianzhou to which it belonged was Wu Qianyu, who was sent by the central government You can meet with the official in power (An Chonghui) and say: As long as the central government sends another cavalry into Xiegu (Taibai County, Shaanxi Province), I will definitely rebel and say goodbye to you forever.” (Dong Zhang wanted to threaten An Zhong with rebellion However, he didn’t know that An Zhongjiao was about to force Dong Zhang to rebel so that he could kill him, and the words of intimidation became an invitation document instead.) Dong Guangye took the letter to Li Qianhui, the executive officer of the Imperial General Staff Headquarters (Private Order).Soon after, the central government sent another general (not general) Xun Xianyi to lead the army into Langzhou. Dong Guangye glanced at Li Qianhui and said: "This army has not arrived yet, and my father must rebel. I dare not just for myself , but I am afraid that the central government will send troops to transfer generals, I hope it will stop now, my father has no second thoughts." Li Qianhui told An Chonghui, but An Chonghui refused.When Dong Zhang heard the news, he immediately announced his departure from the Central Committee. Zhaowu (headquarters in Lizhou), Baoning (headquarters in Langzhou), and Wuxin (headquarters in Suizhou) reported to the Central Committee: Dong Zhang assembled a large army and planned to attack the three theaters first, but An Chonghui ignored it.Dong Zhang got the report and openly rebelled.An Chonghui said: "I knew that he would do this, but His Majesty is tolerant and refused to attack." Li Siyuan said: "I do not disappoint others. If others fail me, I will strike." On September 3, Su Yuan, the official of Xichuan, warned Meng Zhixiang: "The central government is going to send a large army to attack the two Sichuans." Sui, Lang, and then concentrate their forces and stick to Jianmen (Beijianmen Pass, Jiange County, Sichuan Province). Even if the central army is ordered to go south, the two Sichuans will not have any worries.Meng Zhixiang agreed, and sent an envoy to meet Dong Zhang, agreeing to launch at the same time.Dong Zhang notified the Zhaowu, Wuxin, and Baoning war zones in an official document, reprimanding them for sowing dissension and should be punished.So he led his army to attack Langzhou first. On September 10th, Meng Zhixiang appointed Li Renhan, the general commander (du commander), as the field commander of the task force (deployment of the battalion), and Zhao Tingyin, governor of Hanzhou (Guanghan City, Sichuan Province), as the deputy field commander.Zhang Ye, governor of Jianzhou (Jianyang City, Sichuan Province), was ordered to be the vanguard commander (pioneer commander), and led an army of 30,000 to attack Suizhou. Envoy Hou Hongshi and Xiandeng Commander (Xiandeng Commander) Meng Sigong led an army of 4,000 people to join Dongchuan troops and attack Langzhou. An Chonghui has been in power for a long time and has been arbitrarily rampant. No matter the central government or the local government, more and more people hate and hate him.Concubine Wang De (Hua Jianxiu) and court affairs officer (Wu De envoy) Meng Hanqiong, both won the trust of Li Siyuan, gradually interfered in politics, and constantly criticized An Zhonghui's mistakes in front of Li Siyuan, An Zhonghui was worried, and Shangshu asked to be relieved of his post , Li Siyuan said: "I have no misunderstanding about you. I have killed those who falsely accused you (referring to Li Xingde, etc.), why are you still acting like this?" On September 14th, An Chonghui went to see Li Siyuan, and made another request in person, saying: "I was born in a humble and humble family, but I was finally promoted to the current high position, and suddenly I was falsely accused of betrayal. .Because my ability is too low and my responsibilities are too heavy, I am afraid that one day I will not be able to stop such rumors. I hope that I will be allowed to retire and given me a war zone so that I can survive the rest of my life." Li Siyuan refused, and An Chonghui kept asking , Li Siyuan said angrily: "Do whatever you want, I can't find anyone!" Fan Yanguang, the former commander of the Chengde War Zone (headquartered in Zhenzhou), persuaded Li Siyuan to keep An Chonghui, saying: "If An Chonghui resigns, who will be resigned?" Can it be replaced?" Li Siyuan said: "Can't you?" Fan Yanguang said: "I have been sent by His Majesty for a very short time (Fan Yanguang served as the director of the Northern Academy of Palace Affairs, refer to March 1927), and my talent is not as good as that of An Chongjiao. How dare you take on such a heavy responsibility!" Li Siyuan sent Meng Hanqiong to the Prime Minister's Joint Office (Zhongshu) to discuss the resignation of An Chonghui, and Feng Dao said: "If you really love Mr. An, you should allow him to dismiss the commander of the General Staff Headquarters. (Private envoy) position." Zhao Feng said: "You said something wrong!" So Shangshu emphasized: Senior officials should not be dismissed easily. 16. When the Dongchuan rebel army arrived in Langzhou, the generals of the later Tang garrison said: "Dong Zhang had planned to rebel a long time ago, and he often used gold, silver, silk and satin to curry favor with his soldiers. Once he launched an attack, he would be full of vigor and hard to resist. We should dig deep trenches , Raise the city wall, hit his spirit first, and within ten days, the central reinforcements will arrive, and the thieves will escape." Li Renju (commander of Baoning), the commander of the garrison, said: "Bashu soldiers have always been as timid as a mouse (this is the case of the Tang Dynasty). How could they resist my elite soldiers!" Then they went out of the city to fight, and before they could make contact with the Dongchuan Bianjun, they scattered and fled back to the city.Dong Zhang attacked day and night. On September 20, Dong Zhang conquered Langzhou, beheaded Li Renju, and massacred the whole family. At first, Dong Zhang served as a general in Houliang, and the commander (commander) Yao Hong used to be his subordinate. Now, Yao Hong leads an army of 1,000 people to garrison Langzhou. Dong Zhang secretly lured him to respond internally, and Yao Hong killed the messenger. , Throw the corpse into the latrine.Soon after the city fell, Dong Zhang captured Yao Hong alive and scolded him, "I promoted you to be an officer from a lowly soldier. Why did you fail me?" Yao Hong said, "Old thief, when you were a slave in the Li family ( "Old History of the Five Dynasties: Biography of Dong Zhang": When Dong Zhang was young, Gao Jixing and Kong Xun were the children of Li Yanwei, a local tyrant in Bianzhou), and he asked you to clean up the horse manure every day before he rewarded you with a piece of barbecue. You will be grateful. Now that the emperor uses you as the commander of the war zone, how can you fail you, and you have betrayed! You have failed even the emperor, what kindness do you have to me? How dare you say that you have failed you? You are a slave, of course shameless, I am dignified Righteous man, why are you willing to be like you? I would rather die for the emperor than live in this world with a domestic slave." Dong Zhang was furious, so he set up a cauldron in the courtroom, boiled water, and ordered ten The warrior cut off the meat from Yao Hong's body and cooked it. Yao Hong continued to yell at him until he died.When Li Siyuan heard the news, he appointed Yao Hong's two sons as officers of the Imperial Guard and rewarded his family richly. 17. On September 24, the Later Tang government appointed Fan Yanguang as the commander of the Imperial Staff Headquarters; An Chonghui also resumed his original post. 18. On September 26, Emperor Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty issued an edict to deprive Dong Zhang of all his official titles; On September 27, Li Siyuan issued an edict ordering Meng Zhixiang to concurrently serve as the logistics and supply commander of the Southwest Front Army (and Southwest supply envoy), and Shi Jingtang, the commander of the Tianxiong Theater (headquartered in Weizhou), to be the commander of the general expedition of the Dongchuan Task Force (All camps in Dongchuan recruit envoys) and ordered Xia Luqi to be his deputy. Dong Zhang ordered Meng Sigong (General Xichuan) to send part of his troops to attack Jizhou (Nanjiang County, Sichuan Province). Meng Sigong recklessly advanced and retreated after being defeated (Jizhou belongs to the Zhaowu War Zone).Dong Zhang was furious and sent him back to Chengdu (Chengdu City, Sichuan Province), and Meng Zhixiang dismissed Meng Sigong from office. On September 28th, Li Siyuan ordered Shi Jingtang to temporarily act as the executive officer of Dongchuan (the right to know Dongchuan affairs). On September 30th, Li Siyuan ordered Youwuwei (Fourth Army of the Guards) General Wang Sitong to be the left-behind chief of Xidu (Jingzhao Prefecture, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province) and the chief picket of the infantry and cavalry of the task force (and also battalion horse infantry) Du Yuhou), as the vanguard of the crusade against Bashu. 19. Liu Yan (the first great ancestor) of the Southern Han Empire (the capital of Xingwang Mansion) sent his generals Liang Kezhen and Li Shouying to attack Jiaozhou (that is, Annan Prefecture · Hanoi City, Vietnam), conquered and captured the separatist warlords alive , Qu Chengmei, the commander of the Jinghai theater (headquartered in Annan Prefecture), and the class teacher (Qu Chengyu was based in Jinghai, refer to the first month of 906; his sons, Qu Hao and Qu Chengmei, have died so far, a total of 25 years), and He ordered his general Li Jin to guard it (the Southern Han Dynasty only had the Jinghai theater). 20. In winter, on October 3rd, General Li Renhan of Xichuan surrounded Suizhou, and the guard Xia Luqi went to the city to hold on.Meng Zhixiang ordered Gao Jingrou, the general manager of the camp (Dubai Ya), to lead Zizhou (Zizhong County, Sichuan Province) volunteer troops of 20,000 people to build a long wall and strengthen the encirclement.Xia Luqi ordered Kang Wentong, the commander-in-chief of the cavalry (the commander of the horse army), to go out of the city to fight. When Kang Wentong heard the news of the fall of Langzhou, he led his troops to surrender to Li Renhan. On October 8, Dong Zhang led his army to attack Lizhou (Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province), but it rained heavily and the food supply could not be supplied, so he returned to Langzhou.When Meng Zhixiang received the report, he was shocked and said: "When Langzhong was first captured, we should have been advancing to seize Lizhou. The generals of the Central Army are weaker than each other, and they will definitely flee. We will take over their warehouses and defend Mantianguan They are all in the area of ​​Mingyue Gorge in the north of Lizhou). The central army will never save Wuxin (headquarters in Suizhou). Marshal Dong (Dong Zhang) is stationed in the remote and desolate Langzhou, throwing Jiange (Jiange County, Sichuan Province) far away The place is not a good way (Lizhou is in the north of Jianmen Pass, Meng Zhixiang hoped that Dong Zhang would seize Lizhou as a barrier to protect Jianmen Pass; and the Langzhou captured by Dong Zhang was not located in the Central Plains where he entered Shu. The central government cannot prevent the central government from continuing to send troops to the south).” He planned to send 3,000 troops to help defend Jianmen (Jianmen Pass in the north of Jiange County), Dong Zhang insisted: “Jianmen is fully on guard.” 21. The king of the Wuyue Kingdom (capital Hangzhou) (the first king of Wusu) Qian Liu (79 years old this year), took advantage of the Later Tang Dynasty to send to Fuzhou (the capital of Fujian, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province) to confer Wang Yanjun as the King of Fujian (refer to 92 In July of the eighth year), the envoy Pei Yu returned to Luoyang (the county where Henan Province, the capital of the later Tang Dynasty, was located), and asked Pei Yu to bring a memorial, in which he deeply blamed himself for his mistakes; Constantly went to the post-Tang government to complain for Qian Liu (Qian Liu was arrogant, refer to September 1929). On October 13th, Li Siyuan issued an imperial edict ordering local governments to release Wuyue (capital Hangzhou) envoy officials.He ordered Feng Yun, the director of the North Academy of Court Affairs (envoy of the North Academy of Xuanhui) to be the general of the left guard (the first army of the guard) and the left-behind chief of Beidu (Taiyuan Prefecture). On October 17, the Later Tang government massacred Dong Guangye's entire family (due to his father Dong Zhang's rebellion). 22. Ma Yin (seventy-nine years old) was ill and sent envoys to the Later Tang Dynasty to request that the throne be passed on to his son Ma Xisheng.Later Tang government suspected that Ma Yin was dead. On October 21st, the Later Tang government ordered Ma Xisheng to suspend his mourning and take up the post of commander and supreme supervisor (also minister and envoy) of the Wu'an theater (headquartered in Changsha Prefecture). 23. Meng Zhixiang ordered Zhang Wu (refer to October 30, 1925), the commander of the Zhenjiang theater (headquartered in Kuizhou) in the former Shu Empire era, to be the Commander of Appeasement of the Dangxialu (Three Gorges Area) Task Force (Xialu The camp recruited crusade envoys), and led the Yangtze River Fleet straight to Kuizhou; appointed Commander Zuo Feichao (commander Zuo Feichao) Yuan Yanchao as his deputy. On October 23, the Dongchuan Rebellion took over and conquered Zhengzhou (Neither the Tang Dynasty nor the former Shu Empire conquered states, but because of the post-Tang period, "Changzhou" never appeared. It may be that the post-Tang government was named Li Guochang because of Li Cunxu's grandfather's name. It is taboo to change Changzhou to Zhengzhou), He (Hechuan City, Chongqing), Ba (Bazhong City, Sichuan Province), Peng (South of Yilong County, Sichuan Province), and Guo (Nanchong City, Sichuan Province). 24. On October 26, Yan Keqiu, the chief executive of the Southern Wu State Council (Zuo Pushe), the second-level de facto prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi), died.The chief supervisor (servant) Xu Zhigao (Li Zhigao) ordered his eldest son, general Xu Jingtong to be the Minister of Defense of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of War) and the third-level real prime minister (participating in political affairs); because Xu Zhigao will leave Beijing to guard Jinling (Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province) , there is this arrangement. 25. Liang Kezhen, the general of the Southern Han Dynasty (the capital of Xingwangfu), entered the Kingdom of Champa (that is, the Kingdom of the Ring · the capital of Champa), plundered gold and silver treasures and returned. 26. On November 9th, Zhang Wu, the commander of the Xichuan Rebellion and the Eastern Expedition, arrived in Yuzhou (Chongqing City), and Zhang Huan, the governor, surrendered; Xiangqian (Pengshui County, Chongqing City) and Fu (Fuling District, Chongqing City) two prefectures. 27. On November 10th, Ma Yin, the king of Southern Chu, passed away (at the age of 79), and his will ordered his sons to be brother to brother—brother to brother, and set up a saber in the ancestral hall, saying: "Dare Anyone who disobeys my order will be punished!" The generals discussed first to increase troops on the four sides of the border, and then announced the news of the death. What can be guarded against is that we should send envoys to the war zones of neighboring countries to mourn and inform them that their heirs will ascend the throne, that’s all.” 28. Shi Jingtang, Commander of the Expeditionary Army of the Later Tang Dynasty, went south to Sanguan (southwest of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), Wang Hongzhi, governor of Jiezhou (east of Wudu County, Gansu Province), Feng Hui, governor of Luzhou (Luzhou City, Sichuan Province), together with the Chief Inspector of the Forward Cavalry (Front Ma Budu Yuhou) Wang Sitong, Infantry Commander (Infantry Commander) Zhao Zaili, led the army through Rentou Mountain (north of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province) and detoured to Jianmen (Beijianmen Pass, Jiange County, Sichuan Province) ) to the south, and then returned to the north to attack Jianmen Pass. On November 13th, Jianmen was conquered, 3,000 Dongchuan defenders were killed, Qi Yanwen, the general commander of Dongchuan (commander of the capital), was captured alive, and the important area was occupied and defended.Feng Hui is from Weizhou. On November 15th, Wang Hongzhi and others captured Jianzhou (Jiange County, Sichuan Province), but the main force of the crusade army could not arrive in time, so Wang Hongzhi had to set fire to the houses in the market, seize all the food, and return to Jianmen. On November 16, Li Siyuan issued an edict to remove Meng Zhixiang from all official positions and titles. On Nov 20th, Dong Zhang sent envoys to Chengdu (Chengdu City, Sichuan Province) to report the emergency.Meng Zhixiang was terrified when he heard that Jianmen had fallen, and said, "Dong Zhang really killed me!" On November 21st, Meng Zhixiang sent Li Zhao, the commander-in-chief of the Inner Battalion (commander of Yaneidu), to lead an army of 5,000 people north to reinforce, and warned him: "You must double your speed and march forward quickly, and occupy Jianzhou first. , the Central Army will have nothing to do with us.” They sent envoys to Suizhou, ordered Li Renhan to continue the siege, and transferred Zhao Tingyin to lead 10,000 troops from his headquarters to the north to garrison Jianzhou with Li Zhao.Li Yun, the commander of the Yongping theater (headquartered in Yazhou) in the former Shu Empire era, led 4,000 troops to Longzhou (southeast of Pingwu County, Sichuan Province) to guard the dangerous area (preventing the Central Army from going straight from the old road of Deng Ai). attack).At this time, it was cold and cold, and the soldiers were afraid of hardships and confrontation, so they waited and watched each other, and refused to set off immediately. Zhao Tingyin cried to everyone and said: "The Central Army is powerful. If you don't fight hard to repel them, your wives and children will become dead." A prisoner of others." Only then did everyone cheer up. (Longjian Erzhou is a state belonging to Dongchuan, but at this time the Dongchuan Corps is developing territory in the east, capturing Langpeng Guoba in the middle and lower reaches of the Jialing River and conquering six states, but forgot to guard the northern gate Jianmenguan. The current situation In an emergency, Meng Zhixiang no longer waited for Dong Zhang to return to the west, but sent troops to guard him.) Dong Zhang set off from Langzhou and led the Allied Forces of Sichuan and Sichuan to station in Muma Village (Southeast Muma Township, Jiange County, Sichuan Province). Previously, Pang Fucheng, the commander of the Xichuan Inner Battalion (commander of Yanei), from Taigu (Taigu County, Shanxi Province), and Xie Yu, the commander (commander) of the Zhaoxin Special Battalion, were stationed in Laisu Village (35 southeast of Jiange County, Sichuan Province) Kilometers), when they heard the news of the fall of Jianmen, they discussed and said: "If the central army occupies Jianzhou, both Sichuan and Sichuan will be in danger." The two then led more than 1,000 people from the headquarters and took a shortcut from the small path to Jianzhou.Just after arriving, more than 10,000 people from the Central Army descended from Beishan.At this time, it was late in the evening, and the two discussed: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. We can't resist at all. When tomorrow dawns, we will not have a single person left." , suddenly shouted loudly, while Xie Yu led the rest of the troops, holding swords and other short weapons, and quickly launched a frontal attack in front of the gate of the central military camp. The central army was shocked, abandoned the camp, and all fled back to Jianmen. Come out again.Meng Zhixiang was overjoyed when he got the report, and said: "I thought that Wang Hongzhi and others would attack Jianzhou again when they conquered Jianmen. Back. Xichuan lost support, so we had to lift the siege of Suizhou. In this case, we will be attacked from both inside and outside, and our hearts will be shaken, and we will be in danger. They even set fire to Jianzhou, transported food back to Jianmen, stopped there and did not move forward, my Things are going to work!" The Central Crusade Army sent a force straight to Wenzhou (Wen County, Gansu Province), intending to attack Longzhou (southeast of Pingwu County, Sichuan Province), but Pan Fuchao, commander of Xichuan Dingyuan (commander of Dingyuan), and commander of Yisheng Operations ( Yisheng Capital) Taiyuan (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) Sha Yanzuo defeated (the Central Army really used Deng Ai's old way). 十一月二十五日，西川峡路（三峡地区）统帅张武在渝州（重庆市）逝世，孟知祥命副手袁彦超接任。 张武先前派出的先锋官朱偓，将要抵达涪州（重庆市涪陵区），中央任命的武泰战区（总部设玲州）司令官杨汉宾放弃黔州，逃奔忠州（重庆市忠县）。朱偓追击到丰都（重庆市丰都县），回军攻克涪州。孟知祥命西川行政秘书（支使）崔善暂任武泰战区候补司令官（权留后）。 董璋派前陵州（四川省仁寿县）州长王晖率军三千人，会合李肇等，分别进驻剑州南山。 29、十一月二十七日，南楚（首都长沙府）马希声（本年三十二岁）登上老爹马殷的遗位，声称奉老爹遗命，撤销王国，恢复战区称号（马殷建立王国体制，参考九二七年八月）。 30、契丹帝国（首都西楼城）东丹王耶律突欲因不能继承老爹帝位（参考九二六年九月），忧郁怨愤，于是率亲信部属四十人，乘船纵渡渤海南下，投奔后唐，在登州（山东省蓬莱市）上岸。 司马光曰： 《实录》上说：“耶律阿保机（一任帝太祖）的妻子（述律太后）命耶律德光前去渤海（东丹王国），代替耶律突欲，命耶律突欲回西楼（契丹首都·内蒙古巴林左旗），打算立他当契丹皇帝。但耶律德光既手握军权，不准备前往渤海，遂自称契丹皇帝，阴谋杀害耶律突欲，娘亲（述律大后）无法阻止。耶律突欲恐惧，遂航海投奔后唐。”按耶律德光后来进入汴州（河南省开封市），还悬赏逮捕谋害耶律突欲的凶手诛杀（参考九四七年正月），岂有在国内时反而想谋害他的道理！ Bo Yang said: 耶律德光是不是曾经计划谋害老哥，我们不知道，但司马光根据他后来缉拿谋害老哥的凶手，就判断绝无此事，简直天真得出奇。世界上多少谋杀，虽自己亲自动刀，照样处决凶手。政治事件，必须从政治切入，只根据桌面上的一点小动作，粗糙推理，就很容易滑进主导者设计的陷阱，永不能发现真相。 31、十二月三日，后唐中央讨伐军统帅石敬瑭抵达剑门。 十二月六日，进驻剑州北山的西川将领赵廷隐，在剑州内城（牙城）后山结阵，东川将领李肇、王晖在河桥（今地不详）结阵。石敬瑭率步兵攻击赵廷隐，赵廷隐命神箭手五百人埋伏在石敬瑭归途上，严阵以待，等到中央军走进埋伏，长矛几乎可以够得着的时候，忽然间军旗招展，战鼓雷鸣，嘶喊声起，两川变军发动突击，中央军撤退，有的跌下山谷，被杀被俘的有一百余人。石敬瑭又命骑兵攻击河桥，李肇用强弓发箭阻止，骑兵无法前进。黄昏时分，石敬瑭率军退走，赵廷隐率军尾随，跟伏兵会合攻击，取得胜利。石敬瑭退守剑门。 十二月十四日，夔州奏报后唐政府说：收复开州（重庆市开县）。 32、十二月二十一日，后唐政府命武安战区司令官马希声当武安（总部长沙府）、静江（总部桂州）二战区司令官，兼最高立法长。 33、后唐石敬瑭讨伐两川，没有功劳。凡是从前方回到京师的使节，都向后唐帝李嗣源奏报说：山路狭窄险要，行军困难，关西（潼关以西）人民，负责转运粮饷，已筋疲力尽，往往逃窜深山大谷，躲藏聚集，当起强盗。李嗣源十分忧虑。 十二月二十三日，李嗣源对亲近的官员说：“谁能替我办事？我只好亲自出征！”安重诲说：“我身在参谋总部（枢密院），而军队战斗力却低落到如此地步，我应该负责，请准我亲去前方督战。”李嗣源同意。安重诲遂即叩头辞行。 十二月二十四日，安重诲出发，急如星火，每天奔驰数百里，西方各战区得到消息，都惊骇惶恐，过去执行不力的金钱、绸缎、粮食、草料供应，现在都昼夜不停地运往利州（四川省广元市）中央军大营，人员、牲口倒毙在山谷中的不计其数。这时，李嗣源对安重诲已经疏远，而石敬瑭本来就不赞成采取军事行动，所以等到安重诲离开李嗣源身旁，就不断上疏分析，认为不可以讨伐，李嗣源觉得理由充分。 西川派驻夔州的特遣兵团有士卒一千五百人，李嗣源命释放他们回去（孟知祥曾要求调返，参考九二八年六月）。 1、春季，正月二日，后唐帝国（首都河南府）孟知祥（西川司令官）上疏后唐帝（二任明宗）李嗣源（邈佶烈，本年六十五岁），对释放驻防夔州（重庆市奉节县）的西川士卒（参考九三〇年十二月），表示感谢。 正月十一日，李仁罕（西川将领）攻陷遂州（四川省遂宁市），中央军守将夏鲁奇（武信司令官）自杀（本年四十九岁）。 2、正月十四日，后唐中央讨伐军统帅石敬瑭，率军再次抵达剑州（四川省剑阁县），驻扎北山。孟知祥砍下夏鲁奇的头，拿到前方让石敬瑭观看。夏鲁奇的两个儿子追随石敬瑭南征，正在军中，痛哭流涕，请求准许他们前往敌营，取回老爹的人头埋葬，石敬瑭说：“孟知祥是忠厚长者，一定会把你家老爹全尸入土，岂不比身首异处要好！”（孟知祥埋葬时，夏鲁奇身首仍能合为一体，如取回人头，则身首分葬两处。）不久，孟知祥果然把夏鲁奇安葬。而石敬瑭跟赵廷隐会战，失利，再退保剑门（四川省剑阁县北剑门关）。 正月二十七日，后唐帝李嗣源（邈佶烈）加授高从诲（荆南司令官）中央官衔：兼最高立法长（兼中书令·使相）。 东川（总部梓州）把合州（重庆合川市）归还武信战区（总部设遂州。去年十二月所夺）。 最初，凤翔战区（总部设凤翔府）司令官（节度使）朱弘昭，用尽心机谄媚帝国参谋总部指挥官（枢密使）安重诲，所以一连串出任一级战区司令官。现在，安重诲往前方督战，路过凤翔（陕西省凤翔县），朱弘昭亲自出来迎接，在马前下跪叩头，当晚就接到自己家宅下榻，并请到后堂卧房，朱弘昭的妻子儿女也环绕着安重诲下跪叩头，端上酒菜，礼节十分恭敬谨慎。安重诲对朱弘昭流泪说：“奸人一再诬告陷害，几乎难逃一死，幸靠领袖明察秋毫，才保住全家。”安重诲告辞后，朱弘昭立即奏报说：“安重诲满肚子牢骚怨恨，对陛下口出恶言，不应该允许他到前线大营，恐怕夺取石敬瑭的军权。”同时写信给石敬瑭说：“安重诲行动乖张，如果抵达前方，恐怕将士们猜疑惊骇，还没有作战，就自行崩溃，最好迎头阻拦。”石敬瑭大为恐惧，上疏说：“安重诲如到前线，恐怕军心有变，最好命他急行回京（首都河南府）！”宫廷事务总监（宣徽使）孟汉琼从西方回到中央，也向李嗣源指控安重诲罪恶过失。李嗣源下诏命安重诲折返。 *Hu Sanxing said: 朱弘昭昔日之言（劝李嗣源不可抛弃安重诲，参考九二八年三月），是知道安重诲所受的宠爱还没有衰退。今日之言，是确定安重诲的权柄已经失去。小人的心肠，随着现实而反复，使人畏惧。 Bo Yang said: 官场友谊，发展到朱弘昭身上，可谓登峰造极，功力无与伦比。变化之大，反复之快，使人拍案叫绝。 我宁可一辈子孤独而死，也求上帝保佑，不要交上朱弘昭这种朋友。 3、二月一日，后唐讨伐军统帅石敬瑭认为遂、阆（四川省阆中市）二州已经陷落，粮食不能充分供应，没有等到中央命令，就烧毁大营，撤退北归。西川（总部成都府）变军前线将领报告孟知祥（西川司令官），孟知祥把报告放在一边，故意问赵季良（西川副司令官）说：“中央军一天天逼近，我们怎么办？”赵季良说：“顶多推进到绵州（四川省绵阳市），一定回去。”孟知祥请他解释缘故，赵季良说：“我们安逸，他们疲劳，一支孤军深入敌境千里，而粮食吃完，能不逃走？”孟知祥大笑，把报告拿给他看。 4、后唐安重诲抵达三泉（陕西省宁强县西北阳平关），接到诏书，立即返回。经过凤翔时，朱弘昭（凤翔司令官）拒绝他进城，安重诲才发现事态严重，大为恐惧，上马向东狂奔，急行回京。 5、两川（西川、东川）变军追击石敬瑭，直到利州（四川省广元市）。 二月四日，后唐任命的昭武战区（总部设利州）司令官李彦琦放弃利州城逃走。 二月六日，两川变军进入利州。孟知祥（西川司令官）命赵廷隐当昭武（总部利州）候补司令官（留后）。赵廷隐派密使报告孟知祥说：“董璋（东川司令官）生性狡诈，可跟他共患难，不可跟他共安乐（这是范蠡评论姒勾践语，参考二六三年十二月注），有一天一定成为你的灾难。是不是可以趁他去剑州劳军的时候，对他下手。把两川的军队，统一在一个统帅之下，就可以征服全国（指故前蜀版图）。”孟知祥不允许。董璋到赵廷隐大营，住了一晚，第二天（二月七日）告辞。赵廷隐叹息说：“不接受我的建议，灾难就没有个完。” 二月十二日，孟知祥命武信战区（总部设遂州）候补司令官李仁罕当峡路（三峡地区）特遣兵团征剿司令（行营招讨使），率舰队东下夺取土地。 6、二月十三日，后唐帝李嗣源命帝国参谋总部指挥官兼最高立法长（兼中书令）安重诲当护国战区（总部设河中府）司令官（安重诲还没有到京师，就被命往河中，不允许他再回中央）。宰相赵凤作最后努力，对李嗣源说：“安重诲是陛下的家臣，考察他的内心，绝对不会背叛主人。只因他做事粗鲁任性，不够圆通，被人陷害，陛下如果不洞察他的心迹，安重诲的死就在眼前。”李嗣源认为他跟安重诲是一党，大不高兴。 7、二月十七日，西川统帅赵廷隐、李肇，从剑州率军返回成都，留士卒五千人驻防利州。 二月十八日，董璋也返回东川，留士卒三千人驻防果（四川省南充市）、阆二州。 二月二十九日，李仁罕攻陷忠州（重庆市忠县）。 8、南吴帝国（首都江都府）最高监督长（侍中）徐知诰（李知诰），打算擢升副立法长（中书侍郎）、宫廷机要总管（内枢使）宋齐丘当宰相。宋齐丘认为自己的资历和声望，一向低微，同时也计划以退为进，用谦让烘托自己的清高，于是特别清假回洪州（江西省南昌市）安葬老爹（宋齐丘是洪州进士，参考九一二年五月）。回洪州后，乘机进入九华山（安徽省青阳县南），在应天寺下榻，上疏请求准他从此隐居。南吴帝（一任睿帝）杨溥（本年三十二岁）下诏命他进京（首都江都府）；徐知诰也写信要他回来，宋齐丘全不接受。最后，徐知诰派他的儿子徐景通亲到九华山恳切劝说，宋齐丘才回中央，遂以国务院右最高执行长（右仆射）名义退休。把应天寺改名征贤寺。 9、三月一日，西川东征统帅李仁罕，攻陷万州（重庆市万州区）。 三月二日，李仁罕再攻陷云安监（重庆市云阳县西北云安镇）。 10、三月三日，后唐帝李嗣源命契丹帝国（首都西楼城）所属东丹王耶律突欲（归降后唐事，参考九三〇年十一月），改姓东丹，名慕华，当怀化战区（总部设慎州）司令官，兼瑞（羁縻州·北京市西南窦店）、慎等州行政长官（观察使）。东丹慕华（耶律突欲）的部属，以及后唐从前所俘虏的契丹将领、指挥官（惕隐）等，都给他们一个汉族姓名。其中一位指挥官赫邈被命名为狄怀忠（契丹官兵被俘，参考九二八年七月）。 11、西川东征统帅李仁罕抵达夔州，后唐政府所任命的宁江战区（总部设夔州）司令官安崇阮放弃城池，跟杨汉宾（参考九三〇年十一月）经由均（湖北省丹江口市西北）、房（湖北省房县）二州，逃回中央。 三月四日，李仁罕攻陷夔州。 12、后唐帝李嗣源解除安重诲的职务后，才召见李从珂（王从珂），不禁流泪说：“如果依照安重诲的意思做，你怎么能再看到我！”（安重诲陷害李从珂，参考九三〇年四月）。 三月八日，命李从珂当左卫（卫军第一军）大将军。 三月十四日，横海战区（总部设沧州）司令官、遥兼二级宰相（同平章事·使相）孔循（赵殷衡）逝世（本年四十八岁）。 13、三月二十七日，后唐政府命钱镠（本年八十岁）恢复天下兵马总元帅、尚父、吴越国王等官爵。派监门（卫军第十三、十四军）上将军张篯前往杭州（吴越首都·浙江省杭州市）传达中央决定。告诉钱镠说：饬令他退休那件事，是安重诲假传圣旨（参考九二九年九月）。 14、三月二十九日，后唐命祭祀部长（太常卿）李愚当副立法长（中书侍郎）、二级实质宰相（同平章事）。 夏季，四月三日，李嗣源擢升王德妃（花见羞）当淑妃（小老婆群第一级）。 15、闽王国（首都福州）奉国战区（总部设建州）司令官兼最高立法长王延禀（周彦琛）听到闽王王延钧患病的消息，野心万丈，命次子王继昇代理奉国（总部建州）候补司令官（知留后），而自己亲自率领长子、建州（福建省建瓯市）州长王继雄以及水上作战部队，袭击福州。 四月十五日，王延禀（周彦琛）进攻西门，王继雄进攻东门。王延钧派舰队指挥官（楼船指挥使）王仁达率军抵抗。王仁达在船上设下伏兵，竖起白旗，假装投降，王继雄大喜，不带左右侍卫，就登上王仁达坐舰安抚慰问。王仁达遂斩王继雄，把人头悬挂西门。王延禀正要放火攻城，忽然看到儿子血淋淋的人头，大哭，王仁达乘机攻击，王延禀的军队崩溃，左右侍从用“斛”抬着王延禀逃走（到现在我仍弄不清“斛”和“斗”的区别，看情形“斛”比“斗”大，“斗”坐不下一个人）。 四月十六日，王仁达追到，把王延禀生擒。王延钧受俘，对他说：“果然又麻烦你老哥再来！”（王延禀得意语，参考九二七年正月六日。）王延禀满脸羞惭，无言回答。王延钧把王延禀囚禁在另一间房子里，派使节去建州招降同党。同党格杀使节，拥护王继昇跟老弟王继伦，逃奔吴越（首都抗州）。王仁达是王延钧的侄儿。 16、后唐帝李嗣源任命宫廷事务北院总监（宣徽北院使）赵延寿（刘延寿）当帝国参谋总部指挥官。 四月二十一日，命天雄战区（总部设魏州）司令官、遥兼二级宰相石敬瑭兼皇家禁卫军副统帅（兼六军诸卫副使）。 四月二十三日，命朱弘昭当宫廷事务南院总监（宣徽南院使）。 17、五月，闽王王延钧在首都福州闹市上，斩王延禀，恢复他本来的姓名周彦琛。王延钧派老弟、总教练官（都教练使）王延政前往建州安抚慰问官民人等。 18、五月十日，后唐取消以亩为单位征收酒税办法（每亩五钱，参考九二八年七月），另定新法：城里由政府专卖，酒价减少一半，乡村则由人民自由酿制，不加禁止。大家都感到方便。 五月二十二日，李嗣源命孟汉琼代理宦官总管（知内侍省事），充当宫廷事务北院总监（宣徽北院使）。孟汉琼本是赵王王镕的家奴（王镕，八八三年正月至九二一年二月，任成德战区司令官）。当时，范延光、赵延寿（刘延寿）虽然都是帝国参谋总部指挥官，但眼看安重诲因刚愎自用受到排斥，所以每次谈论国家军政大事，都不敢坚持自己意见。只有孟汉琼跟王淑妃（花见羞）手握大权，人们对二人都心怀畏惧。先前，皇宫费用如果稍微超过预算，安重诲都奏报李嗣源，因此，提出非分要求的事就几乎绝迹。可是到了现在，孟汉琼干脆以皇后、淑妃的名义，直接支用国库里的金银财宝，根本不通知帝国参谋总部（枢密院）和中央财政三单位管理总监署（三司），而且在支用时根本没有文件，全凭孟汉琼一句话，所支用的东西，多到无法记载。 五月二十四日，李嗣源命相州（河南省安阳市）州长孟鹄当左骁卫（卫军第五军）大将军，充当中央财政三单位管理总监（三司使）。 19、昭武战区（总部设利州）候补司令官赵廷隐，自成都前往利州到差，过了一个月，建议孟知祥增派军队，夺取兴元（山南西道总部·陕西省汉中市）及秦（雄武总部·甘肃省秦安县西北）、凤（武兴总部·陕西省凤县）二州（均是大巴山脉以北重镇），孟知祥认为士卒疲惫，人民贫困，不许。 20、后唐护国战区（总部设河中府）司令官兼最高立法长安重诲，心里一直惊恐不安，上疏请求退休。 闰五月三日，李嗣源下诏，命安重诲以太子太师（太子三师之一）名义退休。就在当天（闰五月三日），他的两个儿子安崇赞、安崇绪逃出京师，奔往河中。 闰五月九日，李嗣源命保义战区（总部设陕州）司令官李从璋当护国战区司令官。 闰五月十一日，李嗣源派步兵指挥官（步军指挥使）藥彦稠率军直向河中（山西省永济市）。 安崇赞兄弟逃抵河中，安重诲大惊道：“你们怎么可以来到这里？”停了一会，叹息说：“我知道了，这不是他（指李嗣源）的意思，只是受别人指使摆布罢了。我用一死报效国家，还有什么可说。”于是把两个儿子捆绑，派人携带奏章，押解前往京师。 第二天（闰五月十二日），有宦官从京师来到河中，看见安重诲，放声大哭，不能停止。安重诲问他缘故，宦官说：“人们指控你背叛，中央已派藥彦稠率军西上，就要抵达。”安重诲说：“我受国家大恩，死都报答不完，怎么敢背叛？劳动政府派遣军队，又让领袖（李嗣源）
