| Abstract |
An-lu-shan, (安禄山), the Chieh-tu-shih (節度使)of three provinces, Fan-yang (笵陽), Ping-lu (平盧) and Ho-tung (河東), rose in a great rebellion in the fourteenth year of Tien-pao (天宝), (755A. D.). Ho-tung was p...resently recaptured by the government forces. Ping-lu was set free from the insurgent army, after the forces there split into the governmental camp and the insurgent one and fought each other. Thus Fan-yang became the only stronghold of the insurgents. Ping-lu, however, became economically distressed, though set free from the insurgents of Fan-yang, because the supply routes, both sea and land, from Fan - Yang were severed. And the whole army of Ping-lu removed southward navigating the Gulf of Po-hai on reed-rafts to Shan-tung. Because the forces in Ping-lu were thus lost and Fan-yang became the stronghold of the insurgents, the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty over Manchuria, which Tang had overawed with the armed forces of these two provinces, was lost. Po-hai, catching this opportunity, occupied with armed forces the Small Kao-chu-li kingdom, and the latter became subject to the rule of Po-hai. Since Po-hai did not advance further westward across the Liao (遼) River, the Liao-si (遼西) area remained within the sphere of Chinese influence, after the whole army of Ping-lu went to the south, and the Chieh-tu-shih of Fan-yang added this area to his domain. The Rebellion of An-lu-shan continued for nine years, its leaders being changed after his death, from An-ching-hsil (安慶緒) to Shih-ssu-ming (史思明) and to Shih-chao-i (史朝儀). During these years Po-hai consolidated the system to rule the Small Kao-chu-li kingdom. The historical source materials on the occupation of the Small Kao-chu-li kingdom by Po-hai do not exist in China, but remain in Japan.show more
