Chapter 9 The 1940s (940-949)

1. In spring, the first month, Shi Jingtang (the first great ancestor) Shi Jingtang (49 years old) of the Later Jin Empire (the capital of Kaifeng) received envoy Zheng Yuanbi (refer to last October) from the state of Fujian (the capital of Changle Prefecture). Zheng Yuanbi said: "Wang Jipeng (Wang Chang) is just a barbarian leader who does not know etiquette. Your Majesty is not worthy of joy when he hears his praise, nor is he worthy of anger when he hears his bad words. I was sent as an envoy. Redeem Wang Jipeng's crime." Shi Jingtang felt sorry for his situation, and on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Shi Jingtang ordered Zheng Yuanbi and others to be released.

2. Liu Qing, commander of the Crusade Army of the Kingdom of Southern Chu (the capital Changsha Prefecture), took advantage of the strong wind to launch rockets to attack Peng Shichou's village (Peng Shichou was repelled, refer to November last year), and Peng Shichou led his troops to flee Winners (Northeast of Xinhuang County, Hunan Province) and Jin (Jinhe Town, Southwest of Mayang County, Hunan Province) are deep mountains in two prefectures. On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Peng Shichou sent his son Peng Shihao to lead the chiefs to surrender the seals of Chuxi (Yongshun County, Hunan Province), Jinzhou and Cizhou, and surrender to Southern Chu.

3. On February 14th, An Yanwei, the left-behind governor of the northern capital of the Later Jin Dynasty (Taiyuan Prefecture, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province), Yao and second-level prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi, envoy), went to Beijing to meet.Emperor Shi Jingtang of the later Jin Dynasty said: "The only thing I respect is faith. In the past, the Liao Kingdom (the capital of Linhuang Mansion) rescued me with righteousness. Today, I use strict promises as a reward. I heard that they ask for everything. You can serve them with humiliation. I deeply appreciate it." It suits my heart." An Yanwei replied: "Because Your Majesty loves the common people in the world, he still serves them with a humble attitude and generous gifts, how can I feel wronged." Shi Jingtang was very happy.

4. Liu Qing, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Chu Expeditionary Army, led his army back to the capital Changsha (Changsha City, Hunan Province). Ma Xifan (42 years old), the king of Southern Chu (the third king of Wenzhao) moved the government of Xizhou to the southeast to a place with convenient transportation. (Huixiping, northeast of Guzhang County, Hunan Province, known as Xiaxi Prefecture), the Shangshu Later Jin government recommended the appointment of Peng Shichou as governor of Xizhou and Liu Qing as governor of Jinzhou.Since then, all the tribes of the barbarians have belonged to Southern Chu.

Ma Xifan claimed that he was a descendant of Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He used five thousand catties of copper to cast a large pillar, one foot two feet high, and buried it six feet underground (Ma Yuan copper pillar, refer to 336 Year 12 Monthly note), engraved the oath on the copper pillar and erected it in Xizhou (the copper pillar was erected on Huaguo Mountain, Southeast Wangcun Town, Yongshun County, Hunan Province today, and it is still in the 21st century). 5. Yang Lian, Commander (Jiedu Envoy) and Supreme Legislator (and Zhongshu Ling) of the Kanghua War Zone (Headquarters in Chizhou) of the Southern Tang Empire (capital Jinling Mansion) paid a visit to the cemetery of his father Yang Pu in Jin Dynasty - Pingling came back , One night, got drunk and died on the boat.Southern Tang emperor (one Lie Zu) Li Min (53 years old this year) posthumously named Yang Lian Hongnongwang (Jingwang).

6. Wang Yanxi (Wang Xi), king of Fujian, immediately changed shape after ascending to the throne. He was proud, licentious, vicious and violent.His younger brother, Wang Yanzheng, the governor of Jianzhou (Jianou City, Fujian Province), wrote to him many times to persuade him. Wang Yanxi was furious and wrote back to criticize him. The training commander (coach envoy) Du Hanchong went to Nanzhen (Gutian County, Fujian Province) to serve as a supervising officer. The two competed to collect Wang Yanzheng's privacy and reported to Wang Yanxi, so the suspicion and hatred between the brothers accumulated more and more serious.One day, Yeqiao and Wang Yanzheng were discussing business affairs, and there was a conflict of opinion. Yeqiao shouted: "Are you going to rebel!" Wang Yanzheng was furious, and planned to kill Yeqiao. The central garrison of the town, Yeqiao and Du Hanchong fled to Fuzhou (Changlefu · Fuzhou City, Fujian Province).All the central garrisons on the western border of Fuzhou collapsed.

In February, Wang Yanxi sent Pan Shikui and Wu Xingzhen, commanders of the forbidden army (envoys of the army), to lead an army of 40,000 people to attack Wang Yanzheng.Pan Shikui camped in the west of Jianzhou City, and Wu Xingzhen camped in the south of Jianzhou City. They both built formations along the river and set fire to all the houses outside the city.Wang Yanzheng asked for help from the Wuyue Kingdom (capital Hangzhou). On February 26, King Wuyue (the second king of Wenmu) Qian Yuanguan (Qian Chuanguan, fifty-four years old this year) sent the commander of the Ningguo Theater (headquartered in Xuanzhou) (empty official title. At this time, Xuanzhou belonged to Southern Tang), Yang Renquan (Yang, surname), the second-level real prime minister, and Xue Wanzhong, the chief counselor of the palace (the envoy of the inner capital), led an army of 40,000 people to the south for reinforcements.Prime Minister Lin Ding dissuaded him, but Qian Yuanguan refused.

On March 2, the crusade army Pan Shikui sent 3,000 people led by Cai Hongyi, the commander-in-chief (dujun envoy), to fight. Jianzhou Wang Yanzheng sent his general Lin Hanche and others to meet them. ) defeated Cai Hongyi's army and killed more than a thousand people. 7. In the later Jin Dynasty, An Yanwei (officer left behind in Beidu) and Wang Jianli (officer left behind in Yedu) successively requested to retire, but Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty refused. On March 5th, Shi Jingtang ordered Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Guide war zone (headquartered in Songzhou), the commander-in-chief of the infantry and cavalry of the guard army (commander of the horse-budu capital of the guard), and Liu Zhiyuan, the second-level prime minister, to be the capital of Yedu (Guangjin Prefecture, Hebei Province) Daming County of the province) left-behind chief; Tiao Anyanwei Dangguide commander, and the supreme supervisor (and minister and envoy).

On March 7th, Tiao Wang was established as the commander of the Zhaoyi Theater (headquartered in Luzhou), and named Han Wang.Because Wang Jianli was from Liaozhou (Zuoquan County, Shanxi Province), Liaozhou and Qinzhou (Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province) belonged to Zhaoyi (Liaozhou was separated from Hedong, and Qinzhou was separated from Jianxiong); The commander of the war zone (headquartered in Jinju) Li Dexong was the stay-at-home chief of the northern capital. An Congjin, the commander of the Shannan Dongdao War Zone (headquartered in Xiangzhou), Yao and the second-level prime minister, took advantage of the dangerous terrain and conspired to rebel.Yuan Cong's general manager of Daying (Yuan Sui Du Ya) Wang Lingqian, and Daying manager (Ya) Pan Zhilin both tried to dissuade them, and An Congjin beheaded them.After Wang Jianli was transferred to Luzhou, Shi Jingtang sent someone to ask An Congjin, "I have vacated the position of commander in Qingzhou (the state where the headquarters of the Pinglu theater is located) and waited for you to go. If you are interested, I will issue an edict." Cong Jin replied, "If you move Qingzhou to the south of the Han River (Xiangzhou is just south of the Han River), I will go on a mission." Shi Jingtang didn't blame him (it's not that he didn't blame him, but he didn't dare to blame him. Shi Jingtang is as famous as Li Congke , are Li Siyuan's two generals, they have always been strong, but since they became the traitor emperor, they have lost all their dignity, and it is difficult to control them.)

8. On March 11th, Wang Yanzheng, governor of Jianzhou, Fujian Province, recruited more than a thousand death squads, waded across the river at night, and secretly entered the position of Pan Shikui, the commander of the crusade army, and set fire to the camp by taking advantage of the wind. The battle drums were raised and shouted in response, and the commander of the fleet operations (the head of Zhanchao) from Jian'an (the county where the government of Jianzhou Prefecture is located · Jian'ou City, Fujian Province) Chen Huige killed Pan Shikui, and Pan Shikui's troops collapsed.

On March 12th, Wang Yanzheng led his troops out of the city, intending to attack Wu Xingzhen's position of the crusading army. Before wading across the river, Wu Xingzhen and his generals and soldiers had abandoned the camp and fled. The crusading army killed 10,000 people in total. (Nanping City, Fujian Province) and Shunchang (Shunchang County, Fujian Province). Since then, Jianzhou's military strength has become stronger. 9. In summer and April, Taibao (the third of the three divisions) of the Houshu Empire (the capital of Chengdu) and the deputy chief supervisor (also the minister under the door), and the second-level real prime minister Zhao Jiliang, suggested to talk to another deputy chief supervisor (the minister under the door), The second-level de facto prime minister Wu Zhaoyi, the deputy legislator (Zhongshu Shilang), and the second-level de facto prime minister Zhang Ye presided over the affairs of the three central financial units (three divisions). On April 8, Meng Chang (Meng Renzan, 22 years old), the second Emperor of Shu, ordered Zhao Jiliang to be in charge of the Ministry of Finance of the State Council (one of the three departments of the Ministry of Households), and Wu Zhaoyi to be in charge of the national salt and iron monopoly. And the Transportation Superintendent's Office (Yantie, the second of the third division), Zhang Ye is in charge of the National Finance Director's Office (Duzhi, the third of the third division). 10. On April 15, the Later Jin government appointed Ma Quanjie, the former commander of the Henghai Theater (headquartered in Cangzhou), as the commander of the Anyuan Theater (headquartered in Anzhou). 11. On April 29th, Qian Hongzun, son of Wuyue (heir to the throne), passed away (he was 16 years old this year), and was given a posthumous title: Prince Xiaoxian. Yang Renquan, commander of the Wuyue reinforcement army, led his troops to Jianzhou. Because Wang Yanzheng had repelled the central crusade army, he specially sent wine and meat, rewarded him, and asked for a teacher.Yang Renquan and others refused to accept it, and camped in the northwest outside the city. Wang Yanzheng was afraid, so he sent someone to the capital Changle Mansion to ask the king of Fujian, Wang Yanxi, to rescue him.Wang Yanxi ordered Wang Jiye, the governor of Quanzhou (Quanzhou City, Fujian Province), to be the commander-in-chief of the task force (the commander of the battalion), and led an army of 20,000 reinforcements. The food supply for the reinforcements happened to be raining continuously, and the Wuyue army ran out of food. In May, Wang Yanzheng sent troops to attack, smashing Wu and Vietnam's reinforcements. The number of prisoners and killings was calculated in tens of thousands. On May 18, Yang Renquan and others fled with their troops under the cover of darkness. 12. Hu Hanjun, a confidant of Li Jinquan, the commander of the Anyuan War Zone in the later Jin Dynasty, defied the edict and refused to go to the capital. He also heard that Jia Renzhao's two sons planned to sue the central government (Jia Renzhao's death, refer to November 1937).Now, the central government has appointed Ma Quanjie to replace Li Jinquan as the commander of the war zone. Hu Hanjun lied to Li Jinquan and said: "The Jinzuo officer sent people to report day and night: the central government will investigate the cause of Jia Renzhao's death once you leave office. I believe that you have an attempt to rebel." Li Jinquan was terrified, and Hu Hanjun took advantage of the situation to persuade Li Jinquan to rebel against the central government and defect to the Southern Tang Dynasty.Li Jinquan agreed. On May 21st, Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty received news of Li Jinquan's rebellion, and immediately authorized Ma Quanjie, the new theater commander, to mobilize Bian (Kaifeng Prefecture·Kaifeng City, Henan Province), Luo (Henan Prefecture·Luoyang City, Henan Province), Ru (Ruzhou City, Henan Province), Zheng (Zhengzhou City, Henan Province), Shan (Shanxian County, Shandong Province), Song (Shangqiu City, Henan Province), Chen (Huaiyang County, Henan Province), Cai (Runan County, Henan Province) , Cao (Dingtao County, Shandong Province), Pu (Juancheng County, Shandong Province), Shen (Xinyang City, Henan Province), Tang (Tanghe County, Henan Province) and other prefecture armies set out to crusade.Shi Jingtang also ordered An Shenhui, the commander of the Bao war zone (headquartered in Fuzhou), to be the deputy commander-in-chief (deputy commander-in-chief).An Shenhui is the older brother of An Shenqi (An Shenqi, refer to March 1935). Li Jinquan sent military judge (push officer) Zhang Wei to carry the memorial of surrender to the Southern Tang Dynasty to submit.Southern Tang Emperor (one Lie Zu) Li Min (Xu Zhigao) sent Ezhou (Wuhan City, Hubei Province) Reclamation Commander (Tunying Envoy) Li Chengyu and Duan Chugong to lead an army of 3,000 people to meet him. 13. Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent Shang Quangong, chief protocol officer (Envoy of Hakka Province) to Fujian to mediate the conflict between King Wang Yanxi of Fujian and his younger brother Wang Yanzheng, Governor of Jianzhou. In June, Wang Yanzheng sent a camp gate officer (Yajiang) and a maidservant to Fuzhou with affidavits and incense burners, and made an oath of reconciliation with Wang Yanxi at the tomb of his father Wang Shenzhi—Xuanling (below the North Lotus Peak, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province). .However, the brothers' mutual suspicion and hatred are still the same as in the past. 14. On June 9th, Li Chengyu, commander of the Southern Tang Army, arrived in Anzhou.That night, Li Jinquan led hundreds of his subordinates out of the city and went to the Southern Tang camp. Li Chengyu plundered all the wives, maidservants and rich property he brought with him, took them as his own, and then entered Anzhou to guard. On June 10, Ma Quanjie of the Later Jin Dynasty attacked Dahua Town (southwest of Guangshui City) from Yingshan (Guangshui City, Hubei Province), and fought against Li Chengyu in the south of Anzhou City, defeating the Southern Tang Army.Li Chengyu plundered Anzhou and fled to the south, and Ma Quanjie entered Anzhou. On June 12th, Ma Quanjie ordered An Shenhui to pursue him, and he chased them to Huanghuagu (south of Anlu City), where Duan Chugong, a general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was killed in battle. On June 13th, An Shenhui launched a second wave of attacks, defeated the Southern Tang Army again in Yunmengze (Yunmeng County, Hubei Province), and captured Li Chengyu and his troops alive.General Zhang Jianchong of the Southern Tang Dynasty defended Yunmeng Bridge and fought to the death before An Shenhui retreated.Ma Quanjie beheaded Li Chengyu and his 1,500 men under the city of Anzhou, and escorted 507 people including Du Guangye, the general supervisor, to Daliang (the city where the capital Kaifeng is located).Shi Jingtang said: "What crime did they have?" He rewarded them with horses, clothes and other utensils, and sent them back to the country (Southern Tang). Earlier, Lu Wenjin, a general of the Later Tang Dynasty, fled to Southern Wu in order to avoid Khitan (at that time Lu Wenjin was also the commander of Anyuan, refer to December 17, 1936). Quan En is not allowed to enter Anzhou City, but can only camp outside the city. When Lu Wen enters and exits the city, he will be protected and sent back from behind, and must not be plundered.This time, Li Chengyu was sent to welcome Li Jinquan, telling him exactly the same as the one who warned Zu Quanen four years ago, but Li Chengyu was greedy for wealth, so he fought a war with the later Jin army, and was defeated, killing 4,000 people.Li Min regretted and hated it for several days, and blamed himself for not being strict enough in admonishing him. When Du Guangye and others returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Min refused to accept the failure because of their disobedience to the order, and then escorted them to the border of the Houjin State north of the Huaihe River. He also said: "Regardless of military trials or government regulations, our two countries will not allow this kind of situation to happen." Shi Jingtang sent them back again, and the envoys were going to cross the Huaihe River from Tongxu (southwest of Suzhou City, Anhui Province) and head south. Li Yi sent warships to intercept them in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, so they had to return to Houjin.Shi Jingtang gave each of these Southern Tang generals an official position, and reorganized the soldiers into the Xianyi Special Battalion (Xianyi Capital), and sent Liu Kang, the old department, to lead them. Sima Guang said: It is the general who disobeys the order, and the soldiers only know how to obey and carry out the order of the general, so what is the crime?Li Min only needs to accept them, kill the generals, apologize to the neighboring countries, mourn the soldiers, comfort and condolences, that's all. Why abandon your own people to help the enemy country! 15. Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent an eunuch to Lushan (south of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province) to offer sacrifices. When the eunuch came back, Li Min comforted him and said, "Your business trip this time is quite clean." The eunuch said, "Since I received the order, I have I switched to vegetarian dishes and stopped eating meat until today.” Li Min said: “You bought fish for soup in a certain place, and bought large pieces of meat in a certain day, how can you say you have been eating vegetarian dishes? "The eunuch is ashamed and fearful.At the end of the year, the officials in charge of the granary presented a surplus of more than 10,000 shi (sound dan). Li Min said: "The amount of grain entering and leaving the warehouse is recorded. If you don't extort farmers or withhold military supplies, where will the surplus come from? " 16. In autumn and July, Wang Yanxi, king of Fujian, built a city wall in the west of Changlefu, the capital, to guard against the attack of his younger brother Wang Yanzheng in Jianzhou.A large number of ordinary people were ordained to become Buddhist monks. In order to avoid heavy taxes, many people were willing to become monks. A total of 11,000 people were ordained (there were many monks in central Fujian, refer to December 1928). 17. On July 2, Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty rewarded Zheng Yuanbi, an envoy from Fujian, with silk and satin, and sent them back to China. When Li Jinquan, the commander of Anyuan, defected, Sang Qian, the deputy commander-in-chief of the infantry and cavalry (deputy commander of the Mabu capital), Wang Wanjin and Cheng Yanwen, the commanders of Weihe (commander of Weihe), refused to obey, and were killed by Li Jinquan. The commander (Mabudu commander) Pang Shourong laughed at their ignorance in order to cater to Li Jinquan's wishes. On July 6th, Shi Jingtang issued an imperial edict to posthumously reward Jia Renzhao, Sang Qian and other officials, and sent envoys to Anzhou to behead Pang Shourong. 18. Li Jinquan, the general of the late Jin Dynasty, arrived in Jinling (the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province). The Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very indifferent to him. On August 24th (the original text was mistakenly placed in July, according to "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Ten Kingdoms"), Li Min was named the prince, and Qi Wang Li Jing (Xu Jingtong) was the prince, and he was also the general of the world's soldiers and horses, in charge of military and state secrets ( Record Shang Shushi). 19. Fan Yanguang, the retired Taishi (one of the three princes) of the Later Jin Dynasty, requested to return to his private residence in Heyang (Mengzhou City, Henan Province), which was approved by the Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty.Fan Yanguang was accompanied by a large amount of valuables. Yang Guangyuan (Yang Tan), the left-behind chief of Xijing (Henan Prefecture) and the commander of the Heyang Theater (headquartered in Mengzhou), coveted his belongings, and considering the safety of his children and grandchildren (Yang Guangyuan was crusading Fan Yanguang's commander-in-chief, refer to June 1937), Shangshu said: "Fan Yanguang is a traitor. He does not live in Bian and Luo (Xijing Henan Prefecture), but moves to other places. I am afraid that he will flee to the enemy country. He should be sent to the enemy country as soon as possible. Get rid of it." Shi Jingtang didn't allow it.Yang Guangyuan also asked Fan Yanguang to settle in Xijing, and Shi Jingtang agreed.So, shortly after Fan Yanguang moved to Luoyang (the county where the Henan Prefecture of Xijing is located), Yang Guangyuan sent his son Yang Chenggui to surround his house with armed forces and force him to commit suicide.Fan Yanguang wailed: "The Son of Heaven rewarded me with an iron certificate of immortality (refer to September 1938), and promised never to kill me. How can you father and son do this?" On August 26, Yang Chenggui put a steel knife on Fan Yanguang's neck, drove him onto a horse, held him to the Yellow River floating bridge, pushed him into the river and drowned him. (Hu Sansheng's note: "Wealth brings misfortune, often like this. Mi Qiong killed Dong Wenqi's family because of wealth, Fan Yanguang also killed Mi Qiong because of wealth, and Yang Guangyuan also killed Fan Yanguang because of wealth; in the end, Yang Guangyuan could not escape, wealth harmed people, It’s come to this point.”) Yang Guangyuan went up and said: Fan Yanguang voluntarily threw himself into the river and died.Shi Jingtang knew the truth of the matter, but he was afraid of Yang Guangyuan's toughness, so he didn't dare to pursue it.Only for the death of Fan Yanguang, the court meeting was stopped, and he was posthumously given the title of grand master (one of the three masters). Bo Yang said: One of the most despicable and vicious methods in the officialdom is to hand over opponents to his enemies for disposal or trial. Yang Guangyuan has always demanded that Fan Yanguang be killed. Shi Jingtang is not unaware that he can order Fan Yanguang to stay in Daliang. If he does not do so, Instead, Fan Yanguang's family was forcibly moved to Luoyang, Yang Guangyuan's jurisdiction.Shi Jingtang didn't take any action against the murderer. Apart from not daring, in fact, he was probably worried about Yang Guangyuan's refusal to do anything. Fan Yanguang, an idiot, should die, but he shouldn't die like this. 20. Li Jing, king of Qi in the Southern Tang Dynasty, resolutely resigned from the crown prince.On September 3, Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty approved it, but ordered the whole country to follow the etiquette of reporting to the crown prince when writing reports to Li Jing. 21. On September 5, the Later Jin government appointed the president of the Imperial Academy of Literature (Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi), the vice minister of the Ministry of Finance of the State Council (the household minister), and the deputy legislator Ning (Zhongshu minister), and the second-level real prime minister. On September 7th, Liu Zhiyuan, the left-behind chief of Yedu, went to the central government to meet. On September 9th, Prime Minister Li Song reported: "The grain stored in the warehouses of each state is much higher than the book value." Shi Jingtang said: "In addition to the law, forcing taxes on the people is the same crime as corruption and breaking the law. The death of the warehouse officials is exempted, but they should Severe punishment by grade." Li Huan, an imperial literary attendant (Hanlin bachelor), was frivolous and impetuous, often drunk, and always lost his composure and made mistakes when drunk. Shi Jingtang hated him very much. On September 14, the establishment of royal literary attendants was abolished, and the duties were transferred to legislators (Zhongshu Sheren).Li Huan is Li Tao's younger brother (Li Tao, refer to July 6, 1937). Yang Guangyuan, the chief left behind in Xijing, went to Beijing to meet with him.Shi Jingtang planned to take advantage of the momentum and transfer him to other war zones, so he said to Yang Guangyuan: "The battle of encircling Yedu, your generals on the left and right have made contributions and have not been rewarded yet. Now you should teach them to be governors and enjoy the glory!" So he selected several of his subordinates. A general and several military officers were sent out to be governors. On September 22, Shi Jingtang transferred Yang Guangyuan to be the commander of the Pinglu theater (headquartered in Qingzhou), and named him King of Dongping. 22. In winter, on October 5th, the Later Jin government conferred the titles of Qian Yuanguan, King of Wuyue (the second King of Wenmu) on Qian Yuanguan: Marshal of the Tianxia Bingma (Marshal of the Tianxia Bingmadu), Premier of the State Council (Shang Shuling). 23. On October 10th, the Southern Tang Dynasty amnesty, and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Min issued an edict stipulating that the words "rui" and "sage" are not allowed to be used in memorials submitted by the central or local governments. "On crimes ("Tang Law" ten evils, refer to December 640). Sun Zhiyong, a sorcerer, believed that there were four stars gathered near the Big Dipper, indicating that there would be disasters in the area reflected by the stars, so he suggested that Li Min inspect the Eastern Capital (Jiangdu Prefecture·Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). On October 13th, Li Min ordered the prince and Qi Wang Li Jing to supervise the state affairs.Chen Jue, the deputy manager of Guangzheng Palace (Guangzheng Deputy Envoy) and the Deputy Minister of Animal Husbandry (Employee Shaoqing), because of personal enmity, Shangshu framed Chu Rengui, the governor of Taizhou (Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province) for corruption and cruelty. On October 14th, Li Min dismissed Chu Rengui from his position and was reassigned as the field commander of the guards (deployed by the guards).From then on, Chen Jue began to grasp power (Chen Jue entered Xu Zhigao's core, refer to February 1932, so far it has only been nine years). On October 18, Li Min set off from the capital Jinling. On October 22, Li Min arrived in Jiangdu. 24. Wang Yanxi, king of Fujian, took advantage of the convenience of businessmen to go to the later Jin Dynasty, and went to Shujin Emperor Shi Jingtang to defend himself, claiming that he did not proclaim himself emperor (Shi Jingtang angrily denounced Zheng Yuanbi, etc., refer to October last year). On November 23, Shi Jingtang appointed Wang Yanxi as the commander of Weiwu (headquarters in Yuefu), as well as the supreme legislator (also Zhongshuling and envoy), and made him king of Fujian. 25. Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty planned to take advantage of the momentum to move the capital back to Jiangdu (the former capital of the Southern Wu Dynasty). Unfortunately, the river froze, making it difficult to transport food, so he returned west. On December 4th, Li Min arrived in Jinling. Zhang Yanhan, the right supreme executive of the State Council (you pushe), deputy supervisor (also a servant), and second-level real prime minister passed away (at the age of 57). 26. This year, Zhao Sang, the deputy superintendent of the Southern Han Empire (the capital of Xingwangfu) and the second-level real prime minister, passed away.Emperor Liu Yan (52 years old this year) of the Southern Han Dynasty appointed Wang Dingbao, the commander of the Ningyuan War Zone (headquartered in Rongzhou), from Nanchang (Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province), to be the deputy legislator (Zhongshu Shilang) and the second-level real prime minister, but did not exceed One year later, Wang Dingbao also passed away. 27. In the beginning, Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty ceded the area north of Yanmen (Yanmen Pass in the northwest of Daixian County, Shanxi Province) to the Liao Empire as a condition for supporting him as emperor (refer to November 936). The nomads in that area The Tuyuhun tribe also belonged to the Liao Kingdom.The Liao government was greedy and tyrannical, and Tuyuhun couldn't bear it, and hoped to return to the Later Jin Dynasty.An Chongrong, the commander of Chengde (headquarters in Zhenzhou), sent people to lure them again, so more than a thousand tents of the Tuyuhun tribe went south from Wutai (Wutai Mountain, northwest of Wutai County, Shanxi Province) to defect.The Liao Kingdom was furious, and sent envoys to ask Shi Jingtang why he took in traitors from their country! l In the spring, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Shi Jingtang (the first great ancestor) Shi Jingtang (50 years old) of the Later Jin Empire (the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture) sent his personal entourage (official officer) Zhang Cheng to lead an army of 2,000 people to search for an escape route from the Liao Empire (capital). Tuyuhun people who hid in the high mountains and deep valleys of the four prefectures of Bing (Taiyuan Prefecture Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province), Zhen (Zhengding County, Hebei Province), Xin (Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province), and Dai (Dai County, Shanxi Province) due to the tyranny of Linhuangfu) , Forcibly expelled them back to the homeland that had been ceded to Liao. (Shi Jingtang not only betrayed the country, but also betrayed the countrymen who defected to him, like children defecting to their parents.) 2. Wang Yanzheng, the governor of Jianzhou (Jianou City, Fujian Province) of Fujian State (capital Changlefu) built Jianzhou City with a circumference of 20 miles. He asked the King of Fujian Wang Yanxi (Wang Xi) to set up a mighty theater, and he himself was the commander of the theater ( Jiedushi).Wang Yanxi believes that the headquarters of the Weiwu Theater has been established in Fuzhou (the capital Changlefu) for a long time and should not be changed (the Tang Dynasty established the Weiwu Theater in Fuzhou, refer to September 1896; it has been 46 years so far); it was in Jianzhou In addition, the Zhen'an theater was set up, Wang Yanzheng was appointed as the commander of the theater, and King Fusha was named.Wang Yanzheng didn't like the word Zhen'an, so he renamed it Zhenwu War Zone. 3. On February 2, the Later Jin Dynasty (Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital) built a pontoon bridge at Deshengkou (seat of Chanzhou Prefecture Government, Puyang City, Henan Province) (Desheng North City is on the north bank of the ancient Yellow River, Desheng South City is on the south bank of the ancient Yellow River, pedestrians The commuting is all by ferry, and now a pontoon bridge is built. Later, the ancient Yellow River moved south, and the two cities in the north and the south merged into one, which is now Puyang City, Henan Province). Zhang Yanze, the commander of the Zhangyi War Zone (headquartered in Jingzhou), planned to kill his son. The confidential secretary (secretary) Zhang Shi, who had always been favored by Zhang Yanze, tried his best to dissuade him. Zhang Yanze was furious and shot Zhang Shi with his arrow.The left and right officials always hated Zhang Shi, so they took the opportunity to slander and frame him. Zhang Shi was terrified, and he resigned and ran away saying he was sick. Zhang Yanze sent troops to hunt him down.Zhang Shi fled to Binzhou (Bin County, Shaanxi Province), Li Zhou, the commander of Jingnan (Headquarters in Binzhou), reported to the Central Committee, and Shi Jingtang issued an edict to demote Zhang Shi to Shangzhou (Shangzhou City, Shaanxi Province) for Zhang Yanze's sake. .Zhang Yanze sent Zheng Yuanzhao, the Chief of Staff of Operations (Marching Sima), to the central government to ask for it, and warned: "If Zhang Shi is not given to me, there may be unpredictable consequences." Shi Jingtang had no choice but to issue an edict to hand over Zhang Shi to Zhang Yanze. On February 3, when Zhang Shi arrived in Jingzhou, Zhang Yanze taught people to dig into Zhang Shi's mouth with a knife, cut open his chest, took out his heart, and cut off his limbs. (The tragic death of Zhang Shizhi was related to his having a beautiful wife. "Five Dynasties History" records that after Zhang Yanze killed Zhang Shi, he immediately took his wife abducted. We are sad for Zhang Shi, and we are also sad for the Chinese.) The Hexi theater (headquartered in Liangzhou) mutinied, and the alternate commander (remaining behind) Li Wenqian closed the gate, set fire to himself and died. 4. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1934 in the Later Shu Empire (the capital city of Chengdu), many theater commanders have served as generals of the Royal Guards or other positions. The aides ruled on their own behalf. These aides specialize in corruption and amassing money, regardless of the suffering of the people, and the people have nowhere to complain.Later Shu Emperor (second term) Meng Chang (Meng Renzan, 23 years old this year) knew where the problem was. On February 26, Meng Chang (Meng Renzan) issued an edict to remove the commander-in-chief of Weisheng infantry and cavalry (commander of Weisheng Mabudu) and the commander of Wude theater (Dongchuan theater reform, headquartered in Zizhou) Zhao Tingyin, who is also the supreme legislator (and Zhongshu Ling), was appointed as the commander of the theater, and the commander of the Imperial Staff Headquarters (private envoy), the commander of the Wuxin theater (headquartered in Suizhou), and the second-level real prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi) Wang The post of the commander of the war zone that has been returned will be removed from the post of the commander of the war zone, the commander of the Pansheng Control Crane (the commander of the Pinsheng Control Crane City), the commander of the Baoning Theater (headquartered in Langzhou), and the second-level real prime minister Zhang Gongduo. Three people were awarded the official title of "prosecutor" ("prosecutor"). On March 14th, Meng Chang ordered Li Hao, the dean of the Royal Literature Attendant (Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi), to act as the commander of Wude, and Liu Yingtu, the highest advisor of the Supervisory Academy (Sanqi Changshi), to act as the commander of Baoning. Cui Luan, a senior adviser (advising doctor), acted as Commander Wu Xin, appointed the Imperial Supervisor (in the middle of the matter) Xie Congzhi to act as the commander of Wutai (Headquarters in Qianzhou), and ordered the Minister of Construction (who will be the supervisor) Zhang Zan to act as Ning Jiang (Headquarters Kuizhou) Commander. 5. In summer and April, Wang Yanxi, King of Fujian, ordered his son Wang Yacheng to be the second-level real prime minister and the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards (sentenced to the six armies). Wang Yanxi suspected that his younger brother and governor of Tingzhou (Changting County, Fujian Province) Wang Yanxi had secretly colluded with Wang Yanzheng, so he sent general Xu Renqin to lead an army of 3,000 people to Tingzhou to capture Wang Yanxi alive. 6. Li Min (Xu Zhigao, fifty-four years old), the emperor (one Liezu) of the Southern Tang Empire (the capital Jinling Mansion), appointed Chen Juehe and Chang Mengxi, a native of Wannian (East Bancheng, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), as the court Deputy Director of Affairs (Deputy Envoy Xuan Hui). 7. On May 22, Li Dexun, the left-behind governor of Beijing in the late Jin Dynasty, sent a junior battalion gate official (dental school) to escort Bai Chengfu, the chief of the Tuyuhun tribe, to the central court. 8. The Southern Tang Emperor (one Lie Zu) Li Min (Xu Zhigao) ordered the Royal Protocol Officer (Tong Shi Sheren) Ouyang to meet the Later Jin and asked for permission for the Southern Tang to send envoys to the Liao Kingdom, but the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingtang refused. Since the Huangchao civil uprising captured Chang'an (Xi'an, Shaanxi Province), the capital of the Tang Dynasty (refer to December 880), there have been bloody battles all over the world. It has been decades (62 years before and after), and the borders of the countries have finally been demarcated , mutual acquiesce in each other's sphere of influence, and the large-scale conflict activities subsided a little.After Li Min ascended the throne, the Jianghuai area (East China) had bumper harvests year after year, and the military rations were more than sufficient. All officials, civil and military, went to the court one after another and said: "Your Majesty's great cause of reviving the Tang Dynasty (Li Min claims to be a descendant of the royal family surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty) has matured. Now Troubles are happening in the north, and we should send out a large army to recover the old territory." Li Min said: "I grew up in the army, and I know that the harm caused by war to the people is really serious. I can't bear to mention it again. Help them (later Jin) People live and work in peace and contentment, that is, to help our people live and work in peace and contentment, what else can we ask for!" Emperor Liu Yan of the Southern Han Dynasty sent envoys to the Southern Tang Dynasty and proposed to attack the Southern Chu Kingdom (capital Changsha Prefecture) from north to south and divide up their land, but Li Min refused. 9. An Congjin, the commander of the Shannandongdao Theater of the Later Jin Dynasty (headquartered in Xiangzhou), conspired to rebel and sent envoys to Houshu to send troops to attack Jin (Ankang City, Shaanxi Province) and Shang (Shangzhou City, Shaanxi Province) prefectures , as solidarity. On May 28, An Congjin's envoys arrived in Chengdu. Later Shu Emperor (second term) Meng Chang (Meng Renzan) discussed with civil and military officials. Everyone agreed: "Jinzhou and Shangzhou have dangerous terrains and long roads. If you send too few troops, you will not be able to defeat the enemy, and if you send too many troops, the food supply will be unsustainable." Meng Chang declined politely.An Congjin asked Nanping (capital Jiangling Mansion) for help. Gao Conghui, the commander of Jingnan (headquarters Jiangling Mansion), wrote to An Congjin, analyzing the disasters and benefits, and persuading him not to mobilize. Later Jin government falsely accused Gao Congjiao of treason.Wang Baoyi, Chief of Staff of Jingnan Operations (Marching Sima), suggested that Gao Conghui report the truth to the later Jin government, and expressed his willingness to send troops to help fight against the rebels, Gao Conghui accepted. An Chongrong, the commander of the Chengde War Zone (headquartered in Zhenzhou), was deeply ashamed of surrendering to the Liao Kingdom.Seeing envoys from the Liao Kingdom, they must adopt the most impolite posture—sitting there with their legs spread apart, swearing at them; after the envoys leave the country, An Chongrong sometimes sends people to chase them down.The Liao State blamed Shi Jingtang, but Shi Jingtang could only apologize. On June 29, An Chongrong detained the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, 打扎 (打, ye), and sent cavalry to plunder the southern border of Youzhou (Beijing City), which had already belonged to the Liao Kingdom. Set up camp, Shangshu said: "Tuyuhun, East and West Turks, Hun (one of the nine tribes of Tiele), Qibi (one of the nine tribes of Tiele), Shatuo and other tribes, all led their tribes to join us. The Dangxiang tribe also sent envoys to hand over the official orders and dispatch documents from the Liao Kingdom to complain about being insulted by the barbarians." He also said: "Since February this year, the barbarians have ordered every tribe to prepare With good armor and good horses, I plan to go south to invade our country in July. I am afraid that God will not bless me, and I will perish together with the barbarians, so I am willing to gather an army of 100,000 and attack the Liao Kingdom together with the Central Committee. The Liao Kingdom belongs to Zhao Chong, the deputy commander of the Shuozhou theater (then called the Shunyi theater and headquartered in Shuozhou), has expelled Liu Shan, the commander of the theater appointed by the Liao Kingdom, and asked to return to our country. And so on , I have reported one after another, and His Majesty always ordered me to serve the Liao Kingdom every time, and not to provoke a war on our side. But the way of heaven and the people are hard to defy, and this golden opportunity should not be missed. Officials (referring to Zhao Dejun, Dong Wenqi, Sha Yanxun, Zhai Zhang, etc.) all stretched their necks, stood on tiptoes, and waited for Master Wang. It is really pitiful, please make a decision as soon as possible." There are thousands of sentences in the memorial, and most of them are reprimanding Shi Jingtang Considering himself the son of the emperor, he regarded the Liao emperor as his father, and thoroughly scoured the blood and sweat of the people of the Central Plains to flatter the greedy barbarians.He also wrote a letter to important government officials with the same meaning, and distributed it to other theater commanders, claiming that he has entered a state of preparation for war and must fight to the death with Liao.Shi Jingtang was very worried because An Chongrong had a heavy army in his hand and he didn't have the strength to restrain him. At that time, Liu Zhiyuan, the left-behind chief of Yedu (Guangjin Prefecture · Daming County, Hebei Province) and the commander-in-chief of the infantry and cavalry of the guards (the commander of the guards and horses) was in Daliang (the city where the capital Kaifeng Prefecture is located).Sang Weihan, the commander of the Taining War Zone (headquartered in Yanzhou), had known An Chongrong's rebellious ambitions, and was afraid that the central government would not be able to reject An Chongrong's request, so he submitted a secret memorial, saying: "Your Majesty was able to escape from Jinyang ( Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) that disaster, and then seized the world, is the power of the Liao Kingdom, this kind of kindness cannot be let down. An Zhongrong relied on his own bravery, and underestimated the enemy. The Tuyuhun tribe borrowed An Chongrong's hand To take revenge on the enemy and go against the interests of the country should not be listened to. I have observed privately that in the past few years, the Liao Kingdom has excellent war horses and strong soldiers. Cloud sixteen states), assembled our country's weapons (captured from Jin'anzhai, refer to November 9th, 936), their king's wisdom and bravery are really beyond ordinary people; The cattle, sheep and livestock in the country are very prosperous, and there are no natural disasters, so they must not be rashly contended with. Moreover, our country has only recently suffered defeats (referring to the Battle of Jin'an and the Battle of Tuanbai), and our morale has been low.战胜的声威，双方相差太远。同时，邦交一旦破裂，我们自当增加军队，防守边塞。军队太少，不足以抵抗敌人的攻击，军队太多，粮食和军用物资无法长期供应。我们出击，他们撤退；我们回到阵地，他们又恢复进攻，我恐怕皇家禁卫军的士卒将疲于奔命，成德、义武两战区（后晋最北边疆），再看不到残留下来的人民。现在，全国略为安定，所受的创伤还没有复原，国库空虚，人民穷困，小心翼翼的保守现状，还恐怕难以维持，怎么可以轻举妄动！辽国对我国的恩义并不算轻，承诺和盟誓都十分明确，他们并没有犯错，作为我们叛盟毁誓的借口，我们反而先向他们挑衅。即令战胜，后患越发严重。万一战败，大事就全付东流。有人抨击每年进贡绸缎，是消耗国家的财力；对于我们的谦恭态度，有人抨击是一种屈辱。有没有想到：战争一旦开始，兵连祸结，死缠活斗，没有停止之期，人力财力都要枯竭，损失消耗，哪一个严重？尤其是军事行动会带来后遗症，武官功臣仗恃功劳，会过分要求，边远的战区司令和州县长官，会变得骄傲粗暴，中央凋零、地方坐大，又是哪一种屈辱最重？我希望陛下训练人民，学习战斗技能，培养战士，使人民得到长期休息耕种，等到国家没有内忧，民间有多余的财力，然后严密注视敌人，等他们犯了错误，再采取行动，一旦行动，定要成功。同时，邺都是富庶的地方，兵力强大，乃帝国的屏障。而今，主帅（留守长官刘知远）前往中央，总部没有人主持，我私下经常想到'慢藏诲盗'（“财宝藏得不隐秘，是引诱别人窃盗。”参考《易经·大传》）、'勇夫重闭'（“即令有勇士把守，门户也要严密关闭。”参考《左传》〈前五八三年〉申公巫臣语）两个成语的含义，敬请陛下不妨前往邺都视察，堵塞奸人的阴谋。 ”石敬瑭告诉使节转告说：“我这些日子来，烦闷忧心，不能果断决定，今天看到你的奏章，好像大梦初醒，你不要担心。 ”（胡三省注：“桑维翰评估利害，分析轻重，是一代高论。”） 10、闽王王延羲听说镇武（总部设建州）司令官王延政写信召唤泉州（福建省泉州市）州长王继业，于是命王继业返回京师（首都长乐府），王继业走到福州郊外，王延羲逼他自杀，并派人到泉州诛杀他的儿子（王继业诛杀二任帝王继鹏，参考九三九年闰七月）。 最初，王继业当汀州（福建省长汀县）州长时，司徒（三公之二）兼副监督长（兼门下侍郎）、二级实质宰相杨沂丰当工务参谋官（士曹参军），二人感情亲密，十分友善。王继业被杀之后，有人打小报告，指控杨沂丰共同谋反，杨沂丰正在宫中参加皇家宴会，当场就逮捕下狱，第二天即行斩首，屠杀全族。杨沂丰，是杨涉的堂弟（杨涉曾在唐王朝末年当宰相，参考九〇五年三月），本年八十多岁，人们为他悲哀。自此之后，王姓皇族以及建国元老、旧日功勋前辈，前后相继被杀，人们都不能自保。监督院高级顾问官（谏议大夫）黄峻，带着棺木，前往金銮宝殿规劝，王延羲大怒道：“老怪物真是发了疯！”贬黄峻当漳州（福建省漳州市）户籍官（司户）。 王延羲荒淫奢侈，毫无节制，以致收入不够支出，询问全国钱粮总监（国计使）南安（福建省南安市东半州镇）人陈匡范有什么办法？陈匡范保证每天提供一万钱，王延羲大为高兴，加授陈匡范国务院教育部副部长（礼部侍郎）官衔，陈匡范把商人的营业税提高好几倍。有一次，王延羲在宫里大宴文武百官，亲自举杯向陈匡范敬酒道：“明珠和美玉，只要用心找，一定可以找到。像陈匡范这样的人中之宝，找也找不到。”可是，陈匡范不久就发现所有的增税加在一起也不能凑够每天一万钱的数目，于是挪用各机关经费来补足，陈匡范忧愁恐惧，心悸加重，逝世。王延羲祭祀馈赠，都十分优厚。不久，各机关索取债款，把陈匡范的借钱文件奏报王延羲，王延羲大怒，把陈匡范的棺材挖出来剖开，把尸体砍成数段，投掷到水里；任命连江（福建省连江县）人黄绍颇接替他全国钱粮总监（国计使）。黄绍颇建议说：“政府不妨规定，凡是想当官的人，除了因父祖有功，子孙依法补官外，平民则可以出钱购买，只要缴钱，政府立即发给任命状，依照官位高低跟州县户口多寡，来定价格，最少卖一百串，最多卖一千串（出售官爵，是二任帝王继鹏的敛财之道，参考九三七年六月）。”王延義同意。 11、南唐帝国皇帝（一任烈祖）李昪，认为他之所以能篡夺南吴政权，是因为自己独揽南吴政权的缘故，所以他对宰相权力轻重特别敏感。国务院右最高执行长（右仆射）、兼副立法长（兼中书侍郎）、二级实质宰相李建勋，掌握大权的日子很久，李昪打算把他免职，却不想采取主动。正巧李建勋对某一件事呈递密奏，预忖会被留置宫中当做参考，想不到没有几天，李昪竟把它批下，交给有关单位执行。李建勋自己知道密奏上提出的意见涉及到自己的私心，并不公正，于是暗中把密奏取出来，加以删改。 秋季，七月十日，李昪下令解除李建勋的一切职务，命他回家休养。 12、后晋帝国皇帝石敬瑭对安重荣（成德司令官）的粗暴跋扈，十分不安。 七月十一日，石敬瑭特别任命刘知远（邺都留守长官）当北京（太原府）留守长官，兼河东战区（总部设太原府）司令官，把辽（山西省左权县）、沁（山西省沁源县）仍划归河东（二州划归昭义事，参考去年三月），调北京留守长官李德珫当邺都留守长官。 刘知远贫贱的时候，在晋阳（太原府所在县）李家当入赘女婿，曾到郊外牧马，因不小心践踏了寺庙的农田，寺庙住持和尚把他捉住，给他一顿苦打。现在，刘知远成了一城之主，抵达晋阳之后，第一件事就是召见当年那个和尚，命他坐下，安抚慰问，送他礼物放回。消息传出，民心欢腾。 13、吴越王国（首都杭州）王宫失火，宫殿跟政府机关以及宫库国库几乎全部焚毁。吴越王（二任文穆王）钱元瓘（钱传瓘，本年五十五岁）惊吓过度，突然精神错乱。南唐帝国官员纷纷劝告南唐帝李昪乘机发动灭国性攻击。李昪说：“为什么幸灾乐祸！”派使节前去慰问，并进行物资援助。 14、闽王王延羲自称大闽皇，兼威武战区（总部设长乐府）司令官，跟老弟、镇武战区司令官王延政互相攻击，各有胜败，福（首都长乐府）、建二州之间，白骨遍地，密如野草。镇武战区军事执行官（节度判官）晋江（泉州州政府所在县·福建省泉州市）人潘承祐屡次向王延政请求双方和解，王延政都不接受。王延羲的使节来时，王延政就展示他的武装部队，对使节的态度更傲慢狂妄，潘承祐跪在地上，沉痛地规劝，不肯起身，王延政大怒，回头问左右侍从道：“执行官（潘承祐）的肉可不可以吃？”潘承祐不顾危险，面色更肃穆，声音更严厉。 王延羲猜忌泉州新任州长（接替王继业）王继严（王继裕）深受人民爱戴，调王继严回福州，把他毒死。 15、八月一日，后晋帝石敬瑭命首都开封特别市市长（开封尹）郑王石重贵当东京留守长官。 宰相冯道、李崧屡次推荐天平战区（总部设郓州）司令官兼侍卫军步骑兵副总指挥官（兼侍卫亲军马步副都指挥使）、遥兼二级宰相（同平章事·使相）杜重威，干练而有大才（《孙子兵法》上有“攻其所必救”。官场摇尾学则有“荐其所必用”），石敬瑭遂擢升杜重威当侍卫军步骑兵总指挥官（都指挥使），充任随驾御营司令（随驾御营使），接替刘知远，刘知远对冯道、李崧二人遂十分憎恨。杜重威所到之处，大肆贪赃枉法，人民纷纷逃亡。有一次，杜重威经过街市，对左右官员说：“大家都说我把人逼走，街上为什么还有这么多人？” 八月五日，石敬瑭从大梁出发。 八月十二日，石敬瑭抵达邺都。 八月十五日，石敬瑭下诏大赦，又下诏给安重荣，对他安抚沟通，说：“你身是帝国高官，家有年迈老母，为了私愤，不顾后患，背叛领袖，抛弃娘亲。我因辽国的帮助，得到天下；你因我的缘故，得到富贵（安重荣在晋阳降石敬瑭，参考九三六年五月），我不敢忘记别人的恩德，你却敢忘，原因何在？而今，我统御全国，还向辽国称臣，你打算用一个战区的力量对它抵抗，岂不太难。最好三思，不要后悔。”安重荣接到诏书，越发骄傲不可一世。听说山南东道战区（总部设襄州）司令官安从进也打算反抗中央，于是派出密使跟他取得联系。 16、吴越王（二任文穆王）钱元瓘（钱传瓘）病重，内宫辅导官（察内都监）章德安为人忠厚，果决能断，钱元瓘准备托付他后事，告诉他说：“我儿子弘佐（钱元瓘第六子）年纪还小，应该在王族中遴选一位年纪大的继任王位。”章德安说：“弘佐虽然只是一个少年，但部下们佩服他的英明敏捷，请大王不要挂心！”钱元瓘说：“你能好好地辅佐他，我就不再担忧！”章德安，是处州（浙江省丽水市）人。 八月二十四日，钱元瓘逝世（享年五十五岁）。 最初，钱元瓘对内营指挥官（内牙指挥使）戴恽最是宠爱信任，把军队全交他负责。钱元瓘的养子钱弘侑（孙弘侑）的奶娘，是戴恽妻子的亲戚，于是有人检举戴恽阴谋拥护钱弘侑继位，章德安遂封锁钱元瓘的逝世消息，跟各将领暗中定计，在办公厅埋伏武士。 八月二十五日，戴恽进入总部，伏兵突起，把他捉住，立即斩首，把钱弘侑贬作平民，恢复孙姓，押解明州（浙江省宁波市）囚禁。当天，将领们宣布钱元瓘的遗命，代表后晋帝石敬瑭发布诏书，擢升镇海（总部杭州）、镇东（总部越州）两战区副司令长官（副大使）钱弘佐当战区司令官，本年，钱弘佐十四岁。 九月三日，钱弘佐登上吴越王（三任忠献王）宝座，命丞相曹仲达代管政府。军队抱怨赏赐不够公平，紧闭营门，拒绝接受，将领们无法控制。曹仲达亲自前去解释，士卒们才放下武器，下跪叩头。 钱弘佐温和谦让，喜爱读书，对知识分子十分尊敬，亲自主持日常事务，头脑清楚，观察敏锐，常常揭发隐秘的奸邪行为，别人无法蒙蔽。农家有人呈献象征祥瑞的稻穗，钱弘佐问粮仓管理员道：“现在库存的粮食有多少？”管理员说：“足可以吃十年。”钱弘佐说：“那么，军粮十分充足，应该减轻人民的负担！”下令全国免税三年。 17、九月四日，后晋滑州（河南省滑县）奏报中央说：黄河决口。 18、后晋帝石敬瑭因为安重荣杀戮辽国使节，恐怕辽国侵犯边塞。 九月十八日，派安国战区（总部设邢州）司令官杨彦询出使辽国。杨彦询抵达辽国中央御帐，辽帝（二任太宗）耶律德光（本年四十岁）责问使节死亡情形，杨彦询说：“这就跟普通人家有一个凶恶的儿子一样，爹娘对他无法控制，又有什么办法！”耶律德光的愤怒，才稍稍化解。 19、闽国大闽皇王延羲，命他的儿子琅邪王王亚澄当威武战区司令官兼最高立法长（兼中书令），改封长乐王。 20、后晋刘知远派他的亲信将领郭威，声称奉诏书指示，前去游说吐谷浑部落酋长白承福，要他背叛安重荣，回归中央，承诺给他战区司令官高位。郭威回来，报告刘知远说：“蛮夷唯利是图，安铁胡（安重荣的乳名）只能给他们一点衣服而己；我们如果争取，必须有重大的利益才行。”刘知远接受，同时再差遣人去警告白承福说：“中央已把你们的牧地割让给辽国管辖，如果不满意，你们可以另行选择新的牧地，想不到却南下帮助安重荣这个叛徒！安重荣已被天下唾弃，早晚就要消灭，你们应早早决定立场，一旦中央发动攻击，你们就无路可走，北方既回不去、南方也住不下，后悔就来不及。”白承福大为恐惧。 冬季，十月，白承福率领他的部落投奔刘知远，刘知远把他们安置在太原东方山区以及岚（山西省岚县）、石（山西省离石县）二州之间，上疏任命白承福兼大同战区（总部设云州）司令官（空头官衔。此时云州属辽国），而把吐谷浑精锐骑兵部队全收编到自己部下。 最初，安重荣向各战区道发出号召，声称跟吐谷浑、达靼、契苾等部落共同行动。可是不久，白承福投降刘知远，达靼、契苾没有反应，安重荣的声势大大受到挫折。 21、闽国大闽皇王延羲登基称帝（三任景宗），镇武司令官王延政自称兵马元帅。 二级实质宰相李敏逝世。 22、后晋帝石敬瑭离开大梁时，宰相和凝问道：“陛下动身之后，安从进如果叛变，怎么防御？”石敬瑭说：“你的意思怎么样？”和凝建议留下空着姓名的诏书和指令十几张，交给留守长官郑王石重贵，一旦得到安从进叛变消息，立刻把将领姓名填上，派军出去。石敬瑭接受。 十一月，安从进果然叛变，率军进攻邓州（河南省邓州市）；唐州（河南省唐河县）州长武延翰急行奏报中央。郑王石重贵立即派宫廷事务南院总监（宣徽南院使）张从恩、宫廷杂务官（武德使）焦继勋、护圣总指挥官（护圣都指挥使）郭金海、宫廷技工管理官（作坊使）陈思让，率大梁中央军前往叶县（河南省叶县西南），跟申州（河南省信阳市）州长李建崇的地方军会合，南下讨伐。郭金海，是突厥人。陈思让，是幽州（北京市）人。 十一月二十一日，石重贵又命西京（河南府·河南省洛阳市）留守长官高行周当南方军团总野战司令（南面军前都部署），命前匡国战区（总部设同州）司令官宋彦筠当副野战司令，张从恩当监军官。又命郭金海当先锋官（先锋使），陈思让当监军官。宋彦筠，是滑州人。 十一月二十四日，石敬瑭命邺都留守长官李德珫暂任东京留守长官，召唤郑王石重贵前往邺都。 安从进攻击邓州（河南省邓州市），威胜战区（总部设邓州）司令官安审晖据守内城抵抗，安从进不能攻克，撤退。 十一月二十七日，安从进走到花山（河南省唐河县南湖阳镇境），跟张从恩遭遇，安从进想不到中央军会来得这么快，仓促应战，大败，安从进的儿子、内营总指挥官（牙内都指挥使）安弘义被中央军生擒，安从进率数十名骑兵逃回襄阳（襄州州政府所在县），登城守卫。 23、南唐帝李昪天性节俭，常穿一双蒲叶编织的草鞋，洗脸洗手都用铁盆，夏天睡觉使用的是葛蔓做的蚊帐，身边侍候的宫女都用年纪大的或容貌丑的，所穿的衣服质料粗糙，式样老旧。但对为国牺牲的人，即令是一个小兵，也发给三年薪俸。分别派使节到各地调查农民的田地，依照肥沃贫瘠的程度，订定赋税的轻重，农民一致认为公正。从此以后，江淮一带（华东地区）无论是征兵、征夫、征税，都以田赋作为基准，直到今天（十一世纪八〇年代），仍然使用。 李昪对国事十分尽责，白天办不完的事，夜晚接着处理。从江都（江苏省扬州市）回来，不再饮宴作乐，但性情开始暴躁。宦官管理官（内侍·从四品上）王绍颜上疏说：“今年春天迄今，很多文武百官受到惩罚，无论宫内宫外，都十分疑惧。”李昪亲笔撰写诏书，解释原因，命王绍颜转告大家。 24、十二月一日，后晋帝石敬瑭把郑王石重贵改封齐王，充任邺都留守长官。命李德珫实任东京留守长官。 十二月二日，石敬瑭命高行周主管襄州（湖北省襄樊市）特遣总部（知襄州行府事）。又下诏命荆南（总部江陵府·即南平王国）、湖南（总部长沙府·即南楚王国）同时出军讨伐安从进。荆南（总部江陵府）司令官高从诲（本年五十一岁）派总指挥官（都指挥使）李端率水上战斗部队数千人，前进到南津（湖北省钟祥市汉水西岸渡口）；南楚王（三任文昭王）马希范（本年四十三岁）派天策府总带兵官（天策都军使）张少敌率战舰一百五十艘，进入汉水，协助高行周；两战区都运送粮食，供应中央军需。张少敌，是张佶的儿子（张佶让位给马殷，参考八九六年五月）。 安重荣得到安从进叛变消息，遂下决心，集结境内所有饥饿民众，多达数万人，南下直向邺都，声称要到中央朝见。最初，安重荣跟深州（河北省深州市）人赵彦之同时当散员指挥官（散员，手中没有军队），二人情意相投，十分亲密。安重荣出任成德司令官后（参考九三七年正月），
