摘要
后唐是五代北方中国由分裂走向统一的重要时期,分别为数个统治集团所占据的中国北方地区在沙陀人强有力的手段之下重新整合为一个整体。而在这一过程中,最引人注目的应该是关中藩镇割据问题的基本解决。地处西部的关中藩镇[1]由于远离政治、军事中心,缺乏中原王朝强有力的介入,自唐末以来就大部处于割据状态并出现家族世袭统治的局面。
The decline of the authority of the central government and the collapse of the Shence Army(神策军)at the end of the Tang Dynasty promoted the military governorship in Guanzhong to the road of separatism.During the period of Later Liang Dynasty,the political and military center moved eastward,and the independent military governorship in Guanzhong continued to develop uncontrollably.Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty changed the laissez-faire policy,and showed his ambition of running Guanzhong by setting the capital of Luoyang and restoring the capital status of Chang’an.On the basis of gradually controlling the original military governorship in the Later Liang Dynasty,Emperor Zhuangzong succeeded in changing the rulers of the military governorship in the southern part of Guanzhong by drawing them into the battle of conquering Shu.Emperor Mingzong successfully inherited the achievements of Emperor Zhuangzong.With the help of military power,the central government basically controlled the northern Guanzhong by denying that the military governorship decided their own rulers.However,the unsettled issue of Xia Zhou’s separatist rule was inherited by later generations,which had a profound impact on the political situation in northern China from the tenth to the thirteenth century.
