If you want this sentence to be right or wrong, come first; Understand the meaning of this sentence correctly, here? Shu? It does not refer to a province in Sichuan in a narrow sense, but should include Xishu, Badong and even Hanzhong. In this sentence? Chaos? For rulers, it should be understood as a relatively mature form of political power, so as to pose a real threat to them, such as? The yellow turban insurrectionary? Equal-flow uprisings lacking unity are not included.
Historical examples prove that this sentence is indeed correct.
Throughout history, there are indeed many examples to prove it. For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ada invited Yizhou to graze in order to avoid world chaos. Later, he broke off contact with the central government on the grounds that rice thieves caused chaos and blocked traffic. He was in a semi-independent state, and even privately coached more than a thousand people to become an emperor, becoming the earliest separatist force in the Three Kingdoms period. And although there was in the late Western Jin Dynasty? Eight Kings Rebellion? First, on the map of Jin Dynasty, it was the political power that stood on its own feet in Shu.
The above is the proof of the first half sentence. As for the second half of the sentence, Guangwu pacified the Central Plains, which won long-term hope for Shu, and finally eliminated the Gongsun Shu regime and achieved reunification. Similarly, after Ming Taizu annihilated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng in the south, he ordered Xu Da to make a northern expedition, conquer the Yuan capital, seize the Central Plains, and then pacify the Daxia regime in Sichuan, thus basically completing national reunification. Even after the founding of New China, it was only by pacifying the southwest that the Kuomintang regime completely lost its threat to the mainland.
The strategic significance of Sichuan
However, it cannot be ignored that Sichuan has long played the role of strategic rear and temporary shelter in history. Qin adopted Sima Cuo's suggestion, seized Shu and built Dujiangyan, which became the base of the separatist regime of Chu until the Tang Dynasty? An Shi rebellion? Tang Xuanzong took refuge in Shu, relying on it to restore the Central Plains.
As for those who took the lead in revolting and overthrowing dynasty rule in history? Shouyi? None of them happened in Sichuan. Therefore, combined with precedent, the world is chaotic before chaos. Can't be completely independent, and? After the world has ruled Shu? It's basically all reflected.
However, in any case, the special status of Sichuan is beyond doubt. Bashu is a land of abundance, surrounded by blockades, which can be used as an imperial industry to spy on the Central Plains.
