An Lushan Rebellion: Difference between revisions
imported>Sol Pacificus To clarify, An's rhetoric that he was expunging corruption from the Tang was of course just pretext. He wasn't an actual loyalist, but his main target & grievance was with Guozhong, his main objective was to become the new head of the Templars, whereas seizing the imperial throne was the incidental extension of that. I'm too busy atm to write out this whole article, but needed to make those corrections. |

An Lushan Rebellion, also known as the An–Shi Rebellion, was a major civil war of the Tang dynasty. The rebellion was instigated by the jiedushi An Lushan in December 755 from his base in Fanyang with the official goal of ousting Chancellor Yang Guozhong from power. While the two's long-standing feud was common knowledge, the warlord's grievances were secretly driven by a resentment for Guozhong's leadership of the Golden Turtles, a clandestine organization influencing the government behind-the-scenes of which An himself was a member. Unable to secure his candidacy as Guozhong's successor, the infuriated An founded a splinter faction, the Yeluohe, which simultaneously became the public face of his elite forces. His army adopted the slogan "slay Guozhong, purge the lords" as their rallying cry, initially portraying themselves as not rebels but loyalists who sought to revitalize the vitality of the Tang.[1]
Their onslaught as they struck southwestwards towards the Yellow River corridor was devastating, and when they captured the secondary Tang capital of Luoyang in 756, An proclaimed himself emperor of the new state of Yan, effectively declaring secession from the Tang. [citation needed]
