List of defense commands grabbed from http://www.chinaknowledge.de/History/Tang/tang-map.html

883 edit

7th month, Li Keyong appointed Hedong governor

  • Emperor Xizong of Tang
Tongzhou (Tongzhou) (unclear who actually controlled it after Zhu Quanzhong left it earlier that year; considering it under direct imperial control is probably correct since Wang Chongrong had to attack it in 885, so it wasn't under his control)
Tongguan (Huazhou) (also unclear who actually controlled it; probably (as you implied correctly) under imperial control)
Fu-Fang (Fuzhou) (may or may not still be under Li Xiaochang (李孝昌) at this point; at one point seized by Li Sigong, but unclear when; note that Fufang sent troops to as part of Tian Lingzi's campaign against Wang Chongrong in 885, so perhaps still under imperial control at that point)
    • Zhu Mei, Governor of Binning (known as Jingnan already by this point)
Jing-Yuan (Jingzhou) Zhang Jun (張鈞)
    • Li Changyan, Governor of Fengxiang
Shuofang (Lingzhou) (unclear who controlled it; not under Han Xun yet by this point)
Xia-Sui (Xiazhou) Li Sigong
Fengzhou (Tiandejun) (I am not sure if you're referring to 天德 (in the Ordos region) or 鳳州 (in southwest Shaanxi); they are not the same location; in any case, it is not clear who had Tiande at this point (and Tiande should probably be referred to as Zhenwu Circuit, for consistency), although probably Li Keyong in my opinion — although it is possible that it was still under Qibi Zhang (契苾璋); Feng Prefecture was not yet made into its own command and was still part of Shannan West)
Shaan-Guo (Shaanzhou) Wang Chongying (王重盈) (Wang Chongrong's older brother)
    • Wang Chongrong, Governor of Hezhong (allied with Li Keyong, Wang Chongying's younger brother)
Dongduji (Henanfu) (unclear who actually controlled it at this point; later, when Zhang Quanyi took over, it was referred to as having been laid to waste with very little population left until the recovery measures that he put in; could be considered under Zhuge Shuang, I guess, as the nearest warlord, particularly since at that point Heyang was generally considered the circuit in charge of defending Luoyang)
    • Zhuge Shuang, Governor of Heyang
    • Wang Duo, Governor of Yicheng
Zhongwujun (Xuzhou) Zhou Ji
    • Zhu Quanzhong, Governor of Xuanwu
    • Shi Pu, Governor of Wuning (known as Ganhua at this point)
    • Qi Kerang? Governor of Taining (Qi Kerang is correct)
    • Wang Jingwu, Governor of Pinglu
    • Meng Fangli, Governor of Zhaoyi
    • Le Xingda?, Governor of Weibo (Le Xingda is correct; his name would later be changed in 884 to Le Yanzhen, so I don't know which one you'd want to use, but it's the same person)
    • Zhu Xuan, Governor of Tianping
    • Li Keyong, Governor of Hedong (allied with Wang Chucun, Wang Chongrong)
    • Wang Rong, Governor of Chengde
Henghaijun (Yichangjun; Canghai) Yang Quanmei (楊全玫) (Yichang is the correct name at this point)
    • Wang Chucun, Governor of Yiwu (allied with Li Keyong)
    • Helian Duo, defender of Datong
    • Li Keju, Governor of Lulong
Longyou (Shanzhou) (probably in effect merged with Fengxiang at this point, so under Li Changyan; it should be noted that at Tang's prime, most of Longyou's territory was in modern southwestern Gansu and northern Qinghai, which Tang clearly no longer controlled by this point, and so Longyou's headquarters was in effect at Fengxiang and, usually but not always, Fengxiang and Longyou had the same governor)
Qinzhou (Qinzhou) (should probably be referred to as Tianxiong; unclear who controlled it at this point; probably Li Changyan)
Hexi (Liangzhou) (probably part of the "Zhang Yichao dynasty (the existence of itself is somewhat controversial); according to Chinese Wikipedia article, which I am not going to vouch for the accuracy of, would be under Zhang Yichao's nephew Zhang Huaishen (張淮深) at this point)
Gua-Sha (Shazhou) (Zhang Huaishen, under the theory above)
Beiting (Tingzhou) (possibly Zhang Huaishen, but more likely controlled by Huigu tribes of the region and probably should not be part of the map)
Anxi (Qiucizhen) (possibly Zhang Huaishen, but more likely controlled by Huigu tribes of the region and probably should not be part of the map)
Zhexi (Runzhou) Zhou Bao (should probably be referred to as Zhenhai; meanwhile, southeast part of the circuit (Hangzhou area) was under control of Dong Chang, but as Dong was still nominally following Zhou's orders, can still be shown under Zhou Bao, perhaps)
    • Liu Hanhong, Governor of Zhedong (can also be referred to as Yisheng)
Xuan-She (Xuanzhou) Qin Yan
    • Gao Pian, Governor of Huainan
E-Yue (Wuchang; Ezhou) (unclear; Pei Che was given the circuit in 881, but was just about at the same time in 883 made chancellor; nobody was described as Pei's successor at Eyue)
Jiangxi (Hongzhou) Zhong Chuan (鍾傳)
    • Chen Yan?, Governor of Fujian Zheng Yi (鄭鎰); Chen took over in 884
Jingnan (Jianglingfu) Chen Ru (陳儒); also could be considered to be effectively under the control of the eunuch Zhu Jingmei (朱敬玫)
Hunan (Tanzhou) Min Sheng (閔晟)
Shannan-Xidao (Xingyuanfu) Niu Xu (牛勗)
Jin-Shang (Jinzhou) (unclear; as of 881 was under control of Huang Chao's follower Song Yan (宋巖), but by this point Song should be long gone; possibly Niu Xu; could also be described to be under imperial control)
Qianzhou (Qianzhou) (unclear; as of 888 was taken over by Wang Jianzhao, but that implied that there was really no one possessing it at that point)
Jiannan-Dongchuan (Zizhou) Yang Shili (referring to it as just Dongchuan should be fine)
    • Chen Jingxuan, Governor of Xichuan
Gui (Guizhou) (probably Cui Zhou (崔焯)))
Rong (Rongzhou) (probably Cui Zhou, and probably not its own separate command at this point, with Gui, Rong, and Yong really all part of Lingnan West Circuit)
Yong (Yongzhou) (probably Cui Zhou
Lingnan (Guangzhou) (unclear; but was still accepting imperial orders by this point, although the next imperially-commissioned governor who actually took office was Liu Chonggui in the 890s)
Annan (Jiaozhou) (unclear; probably not Zeng Gun (曾袞) any more by this point, but not completely clear)
  • Huang Chao, Emperor of Qi
    • Qin Zongquan, Governor of Fengguo

In addition I think these should be accounted for:

  • Liu Jurong (劉巨容) at Shannan East Circuit (northwestern Hubei, southwestern Henan)
  • Wei Quanfeng (危全諷) at Fu Prefecture (撫州, basically, central-southern Jiangxi)
  • Lei Man (雷滿) at Lang Prefecture (朗州, basically, northwestern Hunan)

888 edit

3rd month, accession of Zhaozong

  • Emperor Zhaozong of Tang
Tongzhou (Tongzhou) (unclear who at the moment; Wang Xingyue (王行約) (Wang Xingyu's brother) would be in control of it by 892, but probably not yet at this point)
Tongguan (Huazhou) Han Jian (韓建) — same pinyin as Le Xingda's predecessor, but different person
Fu-Fang (Fuzhou) Li Sixiao (李思孝) (Li Sigong's and Li Sijian's brother)
    • Wang Xingyu, Governor of Binning
Jing-Yuan (Jingzhou) Zhang Jun
    • Li Maozhen, Governor of Fengxiang
Shuofang (Lingzhou) (unclear; probably not yet Han Xun, but possibly so)
Xia-Sui (Xiazhou) Li Sijian (李思諫) (Li Sigong's and Li Sixiao's brother)
Fengzhou (Tiandejun) (again, these are two difference places; Tiande's probably under Li Keyong's control as part of Zhenwu Circuit; Qibi Zhang was not mentioned again in history by this point and was probably out of the picture; Feng Prefecture was not yet its own command (although it would be later that year, under Man Cun (滿存), who was an ally of the Yangs (Yang Fugong and his adoptive sons/nephews))
Shaan-Guo (Shaanzhou) Wang Gong (王珙), Wang Chongying's son
Hezhong (Hezhongfu) Wang Chongying, Wang Gong's father
Dongduji (Henanfu) Zhang Quanyi (張全義); it will shortly after be named Youguo Circuit (but not yet), and Zhang would become an ally/vassal to Zhu Quanzhong
Heyang Sancheng (Huaizhou) Zhang Quanyi at this point; soon thereafter transferred over to Zhu's subordinate Ding Hui (丁會)
Yichengjun (Huazhou) Zhu Quanzhong
Zhongwujun (Xuzhou) Yang Shouzong (楊守宗) — based on name, probably an adoptive son or nephew of Yang Fugong's, but not mentioned again in history so unclear; note that Zhao Chou (趙犨) possessed Chen Prefecture, which was part of Zhongwu, at this point, and Yang Shouzong was actually described as having Xu Prefecture only
    • Zhu Quanzhong, Governor of Xuanwu
    • Shi Pu, Governor of Wuning (known as Ganhua at this point)
    • Zhu Jin, Governor of Taining
    • Wang Jingwu, Governor of Pinglu
    • Meng Qian, Governor of Zhaoyi still Meng Fangli in the eastern half of the circuit, Li Kexiu (李克脩) (brother of Li Keyong) in the western half of the circuit
    • Le Yanzhen, Governor of Weibo
    • Zhu Xuan, Governor of Tianping
    • Li Keyong, Governor of Hedong
    • Wang Rong, Governor of Chengde
Henghaijun (Yichangjun; Canghai) Lu Yanwei (盧彥威) (Yichang is the correct name)
    • Wang Chucun, Governor of Yiwu (ally of Li Keyong)
    • Helian Duo, defender of Datong
Lulongjun (Youzhou) Li Kuangwei (李匡威)
Longyou (Shanzhou) (probably Li Maozhen)
Qinzhou (Qinzhou) (unclear; would be Li Maozhen's brother Li Maozhuang as of 892)
Hexi (Liangzhou) (again, not going to vouch; according to Chinese Wikipedia still under Zhang Huaishen)
Gua-Sha (Shazhou) (Zhang Huaishen)
Beiting (Tingzhou) (not Tang possession)
Anxi (Qiucizhen) (not Tang possession)
Zhexi (Runzhou) (should be known as Zhenhai; southern part (part in modern Zhejiang) controlled by Qian Liu, who was then a vassal/ally of Dong Chang's; northern part (part in modern Jiangsu) being fought over by Qian, Yang Xingmi, and Sun Ru)
Zhedong (Yuezhou) Dong Chang
Xuan-She (Xuanzhou) Zhao Huang (趙鍠)
Huainan (Yangzhou) (fought over by Yang Xingmi and Sun Ru)
E-Yue (Wuchang; Ezhou) Du Hong (杜洪)
Jiangxi (Hongzhou) Zhong Chuan; should also include Wei Quanfeng at Fu Prefecture and Lu Guangchou (盧光稠) at Qian Prefecture
    • Chen Yan, Governor of Fujian
Jingnan (Jianglingfu) Wang Jianzhao (王建肇), Zhao Deyin's subordinate (and therefore under Qin Zongquan)
Hunan (Tanzhou) Zhou Yue (周岳) (should be referred to as Wu'an Circuit by this point), should also include Lei Man at Lang Prefecture
Jin-Shang (Jinzhou) (unclear; probably controlled by Yang Shouliang)
Qianzhou (Qianzhou) (unclear; not yet under Wang Jianzhao, who was then still at Jingnan)
    • Gu Yanlang, Governor of Dongchuan
    • Chen Jingxuan, Governor of Xichuan
Gui (Guizhou) (not clear; may still be under Cui Zhou)
Rong (Rongzhou) (not clear; may still be under Cui Zhou)
Yong (Yongzhou) (not clear; may still be under Cui Zhou)
Lingnan (Guangzhou) (not clear)
Annan (Jiaozhou) (not clear)
  • Qi Zongquan, Emperor should be *Qin* Zongquan (note that Sun Ru had not explicitly repudiated Qin at this point, although he had already killed Qin's brother Qin Zongheng)
    • Zhao Deyin, Governor of Shannan East

I also believe that you missed Shannan West, which was under Yang Shouliang (楊守亮), who was Yang Fugong's adoptive nephew (Yang Fuguang's adoptive son); also under Yang Shouliang, Wang Jian could be listed as he possessed Lang Prefecture (閬州, not the same one that Lei Man possessed) more or less independently at this point, although he was still nominally following Yang Shouliang's orders.

893 edit

?, Li Maozhen withdraws from Chang'an (or some other event that can be dated more precisely, but should be after Shi Pu's downfall) (I think using Li Maozhen's withdrawal is fine — it also has the nicety of coming right after Wang Chao's takeover of Fujian and Li Kuangchou's takeover of Lulong; also, while it is not clear that Deng Chuna's takeover of Wu'an came before or after Li Maozhen's withdrawal, I will treat it as having happened before)

    • Wang Chucun, Governor of Yiwu (Li Keyong's ally)

Lulongjun (Youzhou) Li Kuangchou (Li Kuangwei's brother and successor)
Longyou (Shanzhou) (merged with Fengxiang)
Qinzhou (Qinzhou) Li Maozhuang (李茂莊) (Li Maozhen's brother)
Hexi (Liangzhou) (again, not going to vouch; per Chinese Wikipedia article under Zhang Huaishen's nephew Zhang Chengfeng (張承奉))
Gua-Sha (Shazhou) (Zhang Chengfeng)
Beiting (Tingzhou) (not Tang territory)
Anxi (Qiucizhen) (not Tang territory)
Zhexi (Runzhou) (Zhenhai Circuit) Qian Liu (although Qian did not control all of what the circuit used to have; he actually had Su Prefecture by this point but would soon lose it; eventually, the balance of power in the circuit was that Yang Xingmi and his subordinates controlled the modern Jiangsu part and Qian Liu controlled the modern Zhejiang part; the modern Jiangsu part was largely at this point controlled by Yang Xingmi's subordinate An Renyi (安仁義) as the prefect of Run Prefecture; also, Qian was still at this point an ally/vassal of Dong Chang)
Zhedong (Yuezhou) (Yisheng Circuit) Dong Chang
Xuan-She (Xuanzhou) Tian Jun (田頵) (Yang Xingmi's subordinate)
Huainan (Yangzhou) Yang Xingmi
E-Yue (Wuchang; Ezhou) (Wuchang Circuit by this point) Du Hong
Jiangxi (Hongzhou) Zhong Chuan; again, probably should also still note Wei Quanfeng and Lu Guangchou
    • Wang Chao, Governor of Fujian (Wang Chao had taken effective control by this point, but was not yet named the governor (he would be shortly, though)
Jingnan (Jianglingfu) Cheng Rui (成汭)
Hunan (Tanzhou) Deng Chuna (鄧處訥); should also note Lei Man
    • Zhu Kuangning, Governor of Shannan East (Zhongyi Circuit) that should be *Zhao* Kuangning

Yong (Yongzhou) (unclear; might still be under Cui Zhou, but unlikely)
Lingnan (Guangzhou) (unclear; might be Liu Chonggui (劉崇龜) by this point)
Annan (Jiaozhou) (unclear)

Also, Shannan West was Li Maozhen's by this point, as was Wuding Circuit (based at Yang Prefecture (洋州), which was carved out of Shannan West and Dongchuan

Jin-Shang (Jinzhou) (Zhaoxin Circuit) Feng Xingxi
Qianzhou (Qianzhou) (Wutai Circuit) assuming not the same Qian Prefecture as referred to above under Lu Guangchou, under Wang Jian's control now, although unclear who's in command; Wang Jian would put his adoptive son Wang Zongben (王宗本) in command later in 903

908 edit

I think for these, just the newly independent/semi-independent states need to be noted (with some vassals whose independence/semi-independence that was disputable I'll note below)

  • Jin basically controlled Hedong (including Datong, which was no longer its own circuit), Zhenwu, Zhaoyi (western only) -- modern Shanxi (except Huguo Circuit in the southwest corner), the parts of Inner Mongolia north of and near Yellow River around the Ordos bend
  • Qi controlled Fengxiang, Tianxiong, Baoda, Jingnan, and Zhangyi (modern Baoji/Xianyang/eastern Gansu; note that Chang'an was under Liang control even though it was kind of surrounded on three sides by Qi/Shu) (although, of course, Li Maozhen's actual hold over Baoda and Jingnan was debatable, since those were controlled by Li Jihui, who continued to acknowledge Li Maozhen as father but, as seen with his flip-flop vis-a-vis Zhu Quanzhong not a completely reliable subordinate)
  • Shu controlled Xichuan, Dongchuan, Shannan West; Wutai; also the territories of Wuding and Wuxin, although those appeared to have been remerged back into Dongchuan and Shannan West, respectively; basically, modern Sichuan, Chongqing, and part of Shaanxi south of Qinling Mountains
  • Wu (may be referred to as Hongnong -- note that Yang Wo's title was Prince of Hongnong) controlled Huainan, Ningguo, Wuchang, Zhennan, and northern Zhenhai; basically, parts of modern Jiangsu and Anhui south of the Huai River; eastern Hubei; northern Jiangxi)
    • Wei Quanfeng and Lu Guangchou were acting ambiguously, not really acknowledging or denying the authorities of either Liang or Wu/Hongnong, but both also in effect independent

As you noted, everyone else acknowledge Zhu Quanzhong as emperor, with the following having some degrees of independence:

  • Chu controlled Wu'an and Jingjiang (most of modern Hunan and northern Guangxi)
    • Wuzhen (northwestern Hunan) was under Lei Man's son and successor Lei Yangong by this point, but would soon be annexed by Chu; note that Lei Yangong was nominally submitting to Wu/Hongnong
  • Wuyue controlled Zhenhai (parts not seized by Wu/Hongnong) and Zhendong (basically, modern Zhejiang)
  • Min (although Wang Shenzhi did not yet carry the title of Prince of Min) controlled Weiwu (modern Fujian)
  • Liu Yin controlled modern Guangdong and southern Guangxi
  • Annan had more or less become independent by this point with much internal turmoil (and would become the basis for the later establishment of the Vietnam state); Southern Han would eventually seize it briefly before losing it again
  • The Dangxiang chieftains (Tuoba Sigong's clansmen) (probably Li Sijian still at this point) controlled Dingnan Circuit
  • Han Xun controlled Shuofang Circuit
  • Luo Shaowei controlled Weibo Circuit and carried the title of Prince of Ye
  • Wang Rong controlled Chengde Circuit and carried the title of Prince of Zhao
  • Wang Chuzhi controlled Yiwu Circuit
  • The Liu brothers (Liu Shouguang and Liu Shouwen) were fighting each other; Liu Shouguang had imprisoned their father Liu Rengong and seized Lulong, while Liu Shouwen was trying to attack Lulong to take it and free Liu Rengong; both nominally submitted to Zhu Quanzhong

So, basically, "real" Liang territory stretched from Chang'an to the west, Huai and Han Rivers to the south, Yellow River to the north (with Huguo Circuit pretty much the only directly Liang-controlled circuit north of the Yellow River); and the East China Sea to the east, but de jure Liang territory was far more vast.
