Why did An Lushan have so much courage to rebel in the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

In fact, An Lushan in history was a coward and had no confidence in rebellion. Luoyang became the object of An Lushan's hand, and An Lushan acceded to the throne generously, indicating that he was the master. But here comes the interesting thing. The news from the front that Tongguan rebels had an accident really startled An Lushan. Just yelling at subordinates. Didn't you say you would succeed?

Even with "a little success", the Anshi Rebellion is relatively uncertain. In fact, there is a reason for the Anshi Rebellion. The first is military strength. In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was said in Zi Tong Zhi Jian that those soldiers who fought in the front line did not get a good social status and were even looked down upon by the powerful people at that time. An Lushan can be regarded as an ambitious man. He recruited people everywhere, and all of a sudden these soldiers found the "backbone."

Later, An Lushan's army was 6.5438+0.8 million, twice that of the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty. In the sixth year of Tianbao, An Lushan rebelled. He inspected every unit, and An Lushan's eyes were on every road in Guanzhong area and the whole country. Nature is the assurance of knowing yourself and yourself, and now it is more practical for An Lushan.

In addition, there is corruption in state affairs. For Anshi, it is a big umbrella for Li. An Lushan was naturally sheltered in the early stage. Later, Yang was a "good friend" of the Anshi Rebellion, so it was natural to give gifts at home. Later, in order to show his useless talent, he even pointed the finger at the Nanzhao War, which caused the Tang Dynasty to lose a lot of troops at once.
