The imperial army originally referred to the troops and retinue in the imperial palace.
The name of the imperial army established during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was changed from Chang Cong Su Wei to. The imperial army of Nanya, which defended the capital in the Tang Dynasty, was originally on duty by soldiers from counties and counties, belonging to the Twelve Guards. Due to the destruction of the government's military system, there are often insufficient guards (government soldiers) on various armies. By the early years of Xuanzong, the Twelve Guards were already very weak. In the 11th year of Kaiyuan (723), the officers and men of Gyeonggi and its surrounding areas and the strong men of Ding Bai were simply recruited and exempted from taxation in the town. As the imperial army of Nanya, they are called long soldiers and guards. Thirteen years later, it was renamed Tiaoqi, 120,000 people * * * and12 guards, instead of soldiers in the government, stationed full-time in the capital and sometimes fought wars. In sixteen years, some riders were incorporated into the left and right feather forest armies and became part of the imperial army of Beiya. At the end of Kaiyuan, Tubo invaded Jiannan, and Tang sent Guan Zhong on a horseback expedition. In Tianbao, due to the expansion of the imperial army in Beiya, riding has been neglected. At that time, the imperial army became increasingly corrupt, and fighting was even more unbearable. After the Anshi Rebellion, Guan Qi continued to exist until the end of the Tang Dynasty, but the number was very small, and it was only used for the ceremonial duties of the emperor and the garrison of some government agencies in the capital. Moreover, Dona has contributed to the service and its position is insignificant. In fact, the horse riding system only existed from the middle of Xuanzong Kaiyuan to the end of Tianbao, and the time was very short. However, its appearance marked the disintegration of the officers and men system, and the conscription system replaced the conscription system, which was an important event in the evolution of China's military system in the Middle Ages.
In the 13th year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (754), Ge, the envoy of Longyou, established a new army in Mohuanchuan (now southwest of Lintan, Gansu) to defend Tubo. During the An Shi Rebellion, 1000 members of this unit led by Wei joined the Central Committee. The imperial court took Wei's army as the mastermind army, thought it was our time, and eunuch Yu Chaoen was the military commander (supervisor). Later, Yu Chaoen led the army. In 763, Tubo invaded Chang 'an, and Tang Daizong fled to Shanzhou. Yu Chaoen was greeted by Shence Army and Shanzhou Army, collectively known as Shence Army. After Dai Zong was escorted back to Beijing by the Shence Army, since then the Shence Army has become one of the imperial guards, and its strength has gradually grown.
