A Study About The Huaicai Military Bloc:from The Late Stage Of Tang Dynasty To The Five Dynasties

Because of Hesuo soldiers, the main part of the Military Governor's troops, Huaixi Military Governor, which was originally appointed during the ZhiDe period of Tang Dynasty, had built a consanguineous relationship with Area of Hesuo since its real foundation. And just for that, it started its way of a separatist regime similarly as Hesuo Military Governor. During the long-term separation, the continually consolidated Hesuo factor and the special human geography of Huaixi Governor interacted, and then caused a tremendous change in the local ethos: ruthless and crueler . This kind of ruthless and cruel ethos still spread to peripheral districts, which made it a special area, called "Area of Huaixi" in this article, different from Central Plains for its ruthless and cruel ethos. Before Cai regime was occupied during YuanHe period, Huaicai Military Bloc had been coming into an embryonic form with the Huaixi Military Governor's troops as the core and Area of Huaixi as its living ground.After Cai regime was occupied during YuanHe period, Huaicai Military Bloc had two development directions: a part of Huaicai soldiers joined ZhongWu Army; because the ruthless and cruel ethos was not radically changed as the collapse of Huaixi Military Governor, the area became the original area and one of the living spaces of various robbers such as salt smugglers, teamongers and so on, and the important original place of convulsions of late Tang Dynasty. At the evening of Tang Dynasty, these two groups converged. Huaicai Military Bloc revived and developed during the fight for royal rights of Qin. Zong-quan.During the fight for royal rights of Qin Zong-quan or after the failure in it, many soldiers of Huaicai Military Bloc moved to the south early or late, and became the leading power of separation wars in the south from late Tang Dynasty to Five Dynasties: built up Shu, Chu and Min three regimes directly; performed meritorious military service in war for the foundations of Wu and WuYue regimes; established the basement for the separation of South Jing.Inside all southern separation regimes, Huaicai Military Bloc soldiers always had conflicts with native powers, and also under these kinds of conflicts, Huaicai Military Bloc tended towards an end.
