石敬瑭 / Shi Jingtang

Shi Jingtang / 石敬瑭 is the Later Jin founder named in EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？’s periodization of [[FiveDynastiesTenKingdoms|五代十国]]. His rise marks the episode’s transition into the stage where the Khitan factor becomes central to central-plain politics.

The source also says Wang Hongjie’s planned third volume begins around the late Later Jin and Jin-Liao conflict before moving toward [[ZhaoKuangyin|赵匡胤 / 宋太祖]] and Chenqiao.
