The disintegration of the military system of the Tang Dynasty was deeply rooted in the collapse of the Juntian system. The Junda system was the backbone of the government's military service, ensuring that soldiers had enough land to support themselves during their military service, and that they were responsible for their own weapons and horses. However, with the continuous socio-economic evolution of the Tang Dynasty, the prevalence of land annexation and the equalization of land system were in jeopardy. Wu Zetian was inescapable of taking responsibility for the decline of the Tang Dynasty, and the land annexation she led reached its peak, hastening the collapse of the Juntian system. At the same time, the financial and oblique feudal problems during Wu Zetian's reign forced Li Longji to halt the reform of the already deadlocked Juntian system and the government military system.
Conspiracy, financial crisis, and displacement.
A large number of military defeats during the Wu and Zhou periods, especially the defeat and land cession, forced Li Longji to fight everywhere. Compared with the problem of official governance and the poor family, the displaced people became the focus of society, and from the first to the first century, the Tang Dynasty invested huge efforts to solve taxes, disaster relief and population resettlement. Wu Zetian purged the heroes, oppressed the people, and contributed to the outbreak of civil strife, and the empire under his rule seemed to be built on a thin layer of ice.
The land annexation of Wu Zhou and the collapse of the military system.
Wu Zetian must be held responsible for the collapse of the Juntian system. She greatly promoted land annexation in the Tang Dynasty, and even the early wisdom and martial arts of Tang Xuanzong could only be slightly alleviated. After Li Longji came to power, he tried to curb land annexation by curbing the powerful and clearing up land taxes. However, in order to win over the scholars, Wu Zetian connived at land annexation, which led to the complete collapse of the military system of the Tang Dynasty, and the loss of land by the people became an indisputable fact.
The gender controversy over the throne and Wu Zetian's political achievements.
After Wu Zetian usurped the throne, she bore great responsibility for the destruction of the Juntian system. Under political compromise, the official land was sold at a low price in large quantities, and even gifted. Although the emperor was above gender, Wu Zetian's usurpation of the throne directly led to the rigidity of the Juntian system. The land annexation intensified during the Wu and Zhou dynasties, resulting in the loss of land for the common people, which became part of Wu Zetian's political achievements. The territory of the Tang Gaozong period allowed the barbarians to herd horses west of the river during the Wu Zetian period, demonstrating her martial arts.
The battle for political achievements: Suppress land annexation and the decline of the dynasty.
The key to evaluating the emperor's performance was whether he could restrain land annexation. Wu Zetian usurped the throne, and in order to win over the scholars, he connived at land annexation. After Li Longji came to power, he tried to curb land annexation by curbing the powerful and clearing up land taxes. However, the shortcomings of Wu Zetian's regime plunged the Tang Dynasty into a crisis, the government military system collapsed, and the people lost their land. The actions of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty became the fuse, and land annexation became the fundamental reason for the decline of the dynasty.
Anshi Rebellion: Failure of power and weakening of power.
The final quelling of the Anshi Rebellion was inseparable from the opening of the conscription system. The Tang Dynasty was not short of troops, but of the lack of generals of the ** faction. However, the most serious consequence of the Anshi Rebellion was the distrust of the military general group, which forced the rebellion of the generals such as Fugu Huaien. Shuo Fangjun's betrayal made the trust relationship between ** and the military generals group collapse. In this process, Su Daide was ineffective in governing the country, and the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, which became a problem for the continuation of the dynasty.
The Rise and Fall of the Tang Dynasty: Political Missteps and the Land Question.
In general, Wu Zeangel fell into a thousand holes throughout the Tang Dynasty, but her grandson Li Longji sewed the country back and restored the national strength to the level of the Li Zhi period. However, in his later years, Li Longji plunged the country into crisis again. Wu Zetian's loss of half of the land in the defeat, the oppression of the people and the face-saving project led to the death of three generations of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty might really fall apart. Although the Anshi Rebellion swept through the entire empire, it also became a sack, pushing the Tang Dynasty into a deeper historical vortex.
Conclusion. The collapse of the Tang Dynasty was not only the work of Wu Zetian, but also related to the political mistakes of the later Emperor of the Faint Emperor. The Tang Dynasty system was unsustainable under problems such as land annexation and the collapse of the government and military system. The policies of Wu Zetian's reign led to the intensification of social contradictions, the problem of the landed class became prominent, and the territory that reached its peak during the Tang Gaozong period was reduced to a land of barbarian horses and horses during the Wu Zetian period. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak under the rule of Wu Zetian, but it also laid the foundation for the chaos that followed.
This essay provides an in-depth analysis of the reasons for the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty, with a particular focus on the political turmoil and land issues during the Wu Zetian period. Through a detailed analysis of the military system, the Juntian system, and land annexation, the author reveals the negative impact of Wu Zetian's usurpation of the throne, which had a profound impact on the political, military, and social structure of the Tang Dynasty.
First of all, the article provides a profound insight into the collapse of the Junda system. As the pillar of the military system, the Juntian system was supposed to ensure that soldiers had enough land to sustain themselves during their military service, but due to the rampant land annexation during the Wu Zetian period, the Juntian system could not be maintained, which led to the dissolution of the military system. This view provides a profound explanation for the weakening of the Tang Dynasty's military power.
Secondly, the article vigorously criticized Wu Zetian's policy of purging heroes and oppressing the people. The political turmoil and the suffering of the common people during the reign of Wu Zetian directly led to the intensification of social contradictions, making the Tang Dynasty's government and military system and land system more fragile. This also made it difficult to stabilize the later regime, which eventually led to the outbreak of civil strife such as the Anshi War.
In addition, the article also provides some profound insights into the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. Through the opening of the conscription system and the distrust of the military general group, the article points out the key reasons for the failure of power and the weakening of power within the Tang Dynasty regime in the Anshi Rebellion. This provides a new perspective for understanding the changes in the political landscape within the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion.
Throughout the article, the author provides an in-depth analysis of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty through detailed historical analysis, emphasizing the serious impact of political missteps and land issues on the Tang Dynasty during the Wu Zetian period.

Overall, this review positively affirms the points raised in the article, and at the same time reasonably expands and supplements some aspects that are not covered in the article. Through in-depth historical research, the article and the commentary jointly construct a comprehensive understanding of the reasons for the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty.
