The final outcome of the Anxi Army in the Tang Dynasty? 5

In the end, it should have been defeated by An Lushan's Northeast Army, and the Anxi Army had more than 20,000 people, while An Lushan's Northeast Army had 400,000 people, which was incomparable.

Emperor Yongli was killed, Li Dingguo died of illness, Nanming no longer had any chance to turn the tables, and the Zhu royal family almost died. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was led by Dolgon after the death of Huang Taiji, and the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was less than one million, the Eight Banners Army was only 100,000, and the cultural level was only the first volume of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it only took 20 years to basically unify the whole country in the early years of Kangxi, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, any secession force had to have hundreds of thousands of troops, even if the Eight Banners Army was fierce, it should have died in the battle. It can only show that there are not many traitors at the end, but very many.

The snake swallowed the elephant and thus it was done, but the problem was that the elephant was a mutilated elephant. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the forces of resistance to the Qing Dynasty were never unified for a moment, Li Zicheng was in Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong was in Sichuan, Zuo Liangyu was in Wuhan, Shi Kefa was in Nanjing, and Zheng Zhilong was in Fujian. Everyone basically doesn't accept anyone, and they often fight because of a few words.

No wonder some people say that the end is a period when all the shortcomings of the Chinese are concentrated and exploded, greed, fear, selfishness, jealousy, suspicion... Civil strife continued, and traitors emerged one after another.

Not long after Li Dingguo's death, Zheng Chenggong's rebel general Shi Lang took revenge and led the Qing army to repeat Zheng Chenggong's old plan to fight Taiwan, capture the Penghu Islands, and soon forced Zheng Keshuang to surrender. The last Han regime collapsed, and Shi Lang was also scolded by descendants for hundreds of years, but in the new era of reform and opening up, anything is really possible, Shi Lang was praised by CCTV behind the screen, and there is a cool name "General Shi Lang". History, in the words of Hu Shih:

A little girl who can be dressed up.

Yes, it is said that the jujube ruler of the stool Lu Gao should have perished, because the development of the Tang Dynasty at that time has been constantly declining, and the control has weakened, so it is very likely to perish.

No, if Xi'an is recovered, the development of Datang will definitely be better, because Xi'an was a relatively wealthy city at that time.

No, if the emperor was willing to send troops to recover this place at that time, then maybe the strength of the Tang Dynasty would be ** and would not perish.

In addition, the civil strife in the country was very serious at that time, which also affected the performance of the Anxi army. In addition, the defense capability of Anxi and other places at that time was very weak. The Tibetans saw the opportunity to cut off Anxi's connection with the country, and this army was naturally wiped out by the enemy after not receiving support from the Tang army.

It can be said that the fate of this army was very tragic, at that time it was not able to get the support of the state and faced such a powerful foreign enemy, and the whole army was in a state of isolation.

Guo Xin, year of birth and death unknown, Guo Ziyi's nephew. His father, Guo Youming, is Guo Ziyi's half-brother. In the last years of Tang Suzong, he was appointed to stay in the four towns of Anxi.

After the Anshi Rebellion, most of the Anxi Beiting and Hexi Longyou garrisons were transferred inward, and the Tibetans took advantage of the situation to occupy the Longyou Hexi Prefectures one after another, and the passage between the four towns of Anxi and the imperial court was interrupted. However, the remaining armies of the four towns still held on to each town alone. Guo Xin was isolated in the Western Regions for fifteen years.

In the first year of Tang Suzong (760), most of the military towns in Hexi were captured by Tubo. Li Yuanzhong guarded the North Court, Guo Xin guarded Anxi, and Erchutong Duhufu and Shatuo and Uighurs depended on each other, and Tubo could not be attacked for a long time. In the second year of the establishment of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (781), Guo Xin, together with Li Yuanzhong, the envoy of Yixi and Beiting Jiedu, sent envoys to the imperial court to do things.

Tang Dezong rewarded him and appointed Li Yuanzhong as the protector of Beiting, and Guo Xin as the protector of Anxi and the envoy of the Four Towns; And the edict ordered the soldiers of the four towns of Hailhuai to be promoted to seven levels according to their ranks. Until the first year of Xingyuan (784), Guo Xin, the capital of Anxi, and Li Yuanzhong, the capital of Beiting, were still in office; The two major protectorates of Anxi and Beiting still "controlled the fifty-seven countries of the Western Regions and the ten Turks." Subsequently, the Tibetans attacked Shatuo and the Uighur tribes, and the fact that the Tang Dynasty had relinquished control of the Western Regions, leaving Beiting and Anxi isolated.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (787), the North Court was captured by Tibet. In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty (789), the Chinese monk Wukong returned to China, passed through Shule Town, and saw the town guard Luyang; When I went to Khotan Town, I saw Zheng Ju, the town guard; When I went to Qiuzi, I saw the envoy of the four towns and the protector of Guo Xin, the capital of Anxi; When he arrived at Yanqi Town, he met with Yang Riyou, the town guard, and explained that the four towns of Anxi were still guarded by the Tang Army at this time.

The time of the final fall of Anzai is not accurately recorded in historical sources. Khotan, one of the four towns of Anxi, fell in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (790). Some scholars deduce that the last time of the fall of Anxi was the third year of the reign of Emperor Yuanhe of Tang Xian (808).
