Stage 2: Take power

In 835, the ninth year of Taihe, Wang Shoucheng was promoted and secretly surrendered by Li Ang, seized his military power, and sent eunuchs to kill him.

At the beginning of the Ganlu Incident, Emperor Wenzong of Tang was placed under house arrest by the eunuch Qiu Shiliang, and hundreds or thousands of officials were killed.

Li Yan returned to Chang'an by writing a letter and was granted the title of Minister of Personnel (real power) and was added to the three departments of Kaifu Yitong.

At this point, Li Yan, in accordance with his position as Minister of Personnel, began to secretly mobilize officials who had been investigated for several years that he had been useful to him.

In 838 of the third year of Kaicheng, Emperor Wenzong of Tang was seriously ill and wanted to let the prince supervise the country. The eunuch Qiu Shiliang refused and the prince was killed in Shaoyang Courtyard.

In 839 of the fifth year of Kaicheng, Emperor Wenzong of Tang worsened and wanted to establish a new crown prince.

In the 840th year of Kaicheng, under the opportunity of Li Yan, through the actions of the princess Wang and under the operation of the eunuch Qiu Shiliang, Li Yan took advantage of the situation to enter the palace city, accepted court officials, and became the new Emperor of Tang.

More than a month, Emperor Wenzong died of illness, Li Yan took power, and his reign was Huichang.

After taking power, Li Yan made Qiu Shiliang an official in court, and ordered him to kill dozens of leaders of Niu Li's party to end the dispute between the cliques.

When the Ganlu changed, Qiu Shiliang had already killed hundreds or thousands of officials in court. He was very happy and respected him after Li Yan's instructions. During the court discussion, he killed two main figures of Niu and Li's party, and the world was shocked.

Seeing that Shen Ce's military power was still in the hands of Qiu Shiliang, Li Yan was worried about the safety of the palace and carried out major reforms. He was afraid that the countless incompetent officials of the Shen Ce Army would be reduced from 180,000 to 100,000.

At the same time, Li Yan set up another four army of tiger, wolf, leopard and jackal, and returned to Chang'an from Nanzhaozhao to control the palace city guards.

In the same year, Li Yan ordered Qiu Shiliang to respect his orders and perform his duties in the reform of the government, delegate power and no longer have a high degree of centralization.

Stage 3: Suppress the chaos

In 841, the Uighurs were hungry and in chaos, the Kiakis defeated the Uighurs, and Princess Taihe became the sage.

After hearing the incident, Li Yan secretly sent a group of Hulang and other troops to raise an army to the Uighurs.

In the late spring of the second year of Huichang, soldiers arrived at the Uighurs and killed the king of the Kiagas. They took this opportunity to defeat the Uighurs, and the Uighurs returned to the Tang Dynasty.

When the victory arrived, the Tang Kingdom was shocked, and the government and the country were united.

When Zhaoyi Jiedu was planning a matter, Li Yan sent a group of tiger and wolf troops to pacify him. Jiedu was shocked again after hearing about the incident.

When the three towns of Heshuo heard the break, they wanted to plan major events.

After reaching Chang'an, Li Yan ordered 10,000 tiger and wolf troops to be sent to Wei Bo Jiedu.

When the Wei Bo Jiedushi saw that the court sent 10,000 people to the rear, he laughed at the court and sent troops to fight.

In a few days, Weizhou under Wei Bo's jurisdiction, Bozhou was completely defeated by the army of tigers and wolfs. Wei Bo's Jiedushi He Hongjing was furious and sent 50,000 troops to retake the two states.

Seven days later, 50,000 soldiers were defeated, countless casualties and injured, and their troops were approaching Dezhou.

At this point, Chengde and Lulong towns gathered troops to come after hearing the incident.

The three towns of Heshuo gathered heavy troops to fight against the tiger and wolf army sent by the court.

Before the battle, Li Yan led 30,000 tiger and wolf army to suddenly appear, saying that the military power of the three towns of Heshuo will return to the court, otherwise Li Yan would have to pacify the three towns of Heshuo.

The three towns refused to obey the orders and even threatened to return the land invaded by Li and the two prefectures of Wei and Bo.

Li Yan knew that the two units of the Tiger and Wolf Army he led had a total of tens of thousands of troops, and the battle with the 500,000 troops in the three towns was too disparity. Even if he had muskets, cannons and other objects, he could not defeat four hands with two fists. He retreated twenty miles to make a long decision.

On the second day, Li Yan sent an envoy to order the three towns to retreat, otherwise he would become the rebellious target of the court and would definitely kill him.

The Jiedu of the Three Towns is still not afraid of Li Yan.

At this point, the Jiedu of the Three Towns confronted Li Yan.

When Li Yan saw that the Jiedu of the three towns did not obey the orders and did not respect him, he was very angry and secretly sent countless fire and thunder from Nanzhao and secret weapons to the front of the battle formation.

In the autumn of the second year of Huichang, one night, Li Yan ordered a part of the Tiger Army to sit over a hot air balloon and throw fire thunders above the barracks of the three towns. The barracks exploded and suffered heavy casualties.

The three towns of Jiedu died two of them. Seeing that the time was right, Li Yan attacked and defeated him.

At this point, the three towns of Heshuo, which had been in power for hundreds of years in the northeast, collapsed and disappeared.

At the same time, when the Khitan cavalry heard about the incident, Li Yan ordered the general manager of the three towns to resist. The Khitan saw that the matter was not done, so he retreated.

Stage 4: Military and Political Reform and the Movement to Destroy Buddhism

When the troops returned to Chang'an, Qiu Shiliang suddenly turned against the enemy and attacked, controlling a unit of the Shence Army to control the palace city and Chang'an, and refused to allow the troops led by Li Yan to enter Chang'an, and began to establish a new emperor again.

When Li Yan heard this, he was furious and wanted to kill Qiu Shiliang.

It was another night, Li Yan sent his subordinates to take a hot air balloon into the palace, captured Qiu Shiliang alive, opened the city gate, and Li Yan entered.

Qiu Shiliang saw Li Yan again, showing his ability to show his magic and ghosts. He was afraid of it and could not stand up. He asked Li Yan for forgiveness.

Li Yan knew that it was not the time to kill Qiu Shiliang, so he needed him to deal with the officials in the court, but he could be kept for death and could not escape the crime of living. So he imprisoned Qiu Shiliang and made Qiu Shiliang's son Qiu Congguang the Inspector, and took charge of the official position of the court.

The various units of the Shence Army were investigated and countless eunuchs were killed in various parties, which shocked the government and the country.

At this point, most of the tiger and wolf army remained outside Chang'an, and some were stationed in the palace, taking over the position of the imperial guard of the Shence Army.

The news of the three towns in Heshuo was spread out. Li Yan issued a national notice warning the governors of various places if they dared to be arrogant, they would be destroyed, and asked the governors to return to Beijing to report their duties.

The governors from all over the country were afraid. When they returned to Beijing to report their duties, Li Yan went to court to talk about military and political reforms, the division of civil and military families, Li Yan controlled the army, Qiu Congguang and the Prime Minister and others were in charge of politics, and implemented the military and political reform system planned by Li Yan.

The officials of the court were afraid of Qiu Shiliang and the children of the hatred family, and the military officials were afraid of Li Yan, and they all agreed to the military and political reforms proposed by Li Yan.

At this point, under the advocacy of Li Yan, the Tang State began military and political reforms.

At the same time, due to the empty treasury, Li Yan launched a campaign to destroy Buddhism, confiscate the land of temples and other sects in various places and return to the state, and dismisses monks under the age of 50 to return to his hometown.

Although there were some resistances in various places, military reforms have been completed and monks from all over the country are of no use.

Three years later, in 845, in the fifth year of Huichang, the Tang State grew stronger and the military and political system began to be completely independent, and was also subject to their respective supervision.

At the same time, according to the Ming Dynasty system, Li Yan established a patrol of eunuchs to inspect the East Factory, and became a three-legged stalemate with civil officials and military generals, supervising each other and suppressing each other.

Stage 5: Battle

As the Tang State became stronger, Li Yan began to start the plan he had deployed in his early years and sent troops to attack the Khitan.

After the Khitan Kingdom was destroyed, it began to attack the Uighurs, Bohai, and Silla.

After the Uighurs and Bohai Silla were destroyed, the territory of the Tang Kingdom increased even more, and Li Yan launched the secret spies of Nanzhao and then attacked the Piao Kingdom and other places.

then.

After the Piao Kingdom and other places were pacified, Li Yan finally launched an attack on Tubo.

In 852, the 12th year of Huichang, after seven years of war, the Tang Dynasty returned to its most prosperous time.

All neighboring countries sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, willing to be a country that was subordinate to them.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has been in its prime, and officials from all dynasties strongly recommend Mount Tai to Fengshan.

Stage 6: Major Reform

After Fengshan, Li Yan changed the year name to Yuanshi and changed the country name to Huo.

Li Yan knew that it was very difficult for him to run a country, so he decided to make a major change to the entire Fire Kingdom.

During the court debate, Li Yan proposed that the land belongs to the state, no land can be bought and sold privately, and one person can get twenty acres of land.

The news came out and the gentry and clans in various places opposed it.

Li Yan sent the East Factory under Qiu Congguang to cooperate with local officials and military officers to implement this policy.

Although the resistance was great, it was finally completed in 860 in the eighth year of Yuanshi.

When the major reform was over, Li Yan once again proposed the major reform of the military, government, and the imperial system.

The imperial system was greatly reformed, and the government and the country were shocked, and countless people opposed it, but Li Yan insisted.

Stage 7: Fire Empire

After the major reform, Li Yan was the Emperor of Fire and held military power, but he no longer managed the regime and established a parliament of ten thousand people in a state. All major national affairs were decided by the parliament of ten thousand people.

At the same time, implement the constitution of the Fire Kingdom and formulate the basic constitution.

Promote the research and development of Huoguo Technology and reward anyone among the people.

Li Yan advocated the establishment of the Science and Technology Department and conveyed some of the ideas brought by his previous life.

In 870, the 18th year of Yuanshi, after more than ten years of education reform, scientific and technological talents emerged in various places.

In 875, the first railway from Chang'an to Luoyang, the Huo Kingdom, was built.

In 880 of the 28th year of Yuanshi, a large road across the north and south of the Fire Kingdom was built.

In 885, the 33rd year of Yuanshi, the Maritime Department of the State of Fire was established and began to travel across the ocean.

In 894, the 42nd year of Yuanshi, Emperor Li Yan lived to the age of 80 and resigned as the emperor. According to the parliamentary decision of ten thousand people, he chose his most wise son of dozens of sons to succeed the Emperor of Fire.

In 895, under the instruction of Li Yan, his son, Emperor Li Zhao, began to expedition to the countries surrounding the Fire Kingdom.

In 900, the South China countries such as Zhenla were destroyed, becoming the Fire Kingdom and the South China countries, as well as the Japanese countries and other places, were destroyed and included in the territory of the Fire Kingdom.

In 914, on Li Yan's 100th birthday, South Asia was destroyed and included in the Fire Kingdom. In the same year, the Tahir Dynasty in the west of the Fire Kingdom was destroyed and included in the Fire Kingdom.
