Huang Chao is rich but not expensive. Huang Chao failed in scientific research, so there was a big psychological gap. Coupled with the decline of the Tang dynasty, these may be promoting his uprising. Since all these may push him to launch an uprising eventually, is his uprising really caused by social status and the failure of the imperial examination? The decline of the Tang Dynasty is an indisputable fact, so subjectively, Huang Chao may have always had the heart of uprising, and social status and the failure of the imperial examination were only the fuse of the uprising. If I were Di Qing next year, I would report to Taohua. To express Huang Chao's ambition. Yes, he really wants to change the system and express his determination to change. But personally speaking, it is out of season for him to hope that peach blossoms and chrysanthemums bloom together, isn't it? Anti-human psychology. So later, his massacre can be explained, and he does exist. Without any basis, how can historians make up so much?
And Huang Chao, in a sense, is really admirable, and it has never lost its original charm. This feeling is suitable for stimulating all kinds of adversity, but not everyone can replace it. Liangshan Sung River once wrote a poem? Dare to laugh at Huang Chao, husband? Although gathered all the heroes in the world, but ultimately pity their true colors. Huang Chao, from the beginning to the end, we don't have to be optimistic, but no one can deny his courage and the myth of Manglietia to save her mother.
How did the million-dollar invading army come from? Many refugees are caused by Li Zicheng. I know this is confusing. Isn't it the corruption of the Ming court? The problem of the Ming court is long-term, but Li Zicheng's practice is to besiege a place, and after the city is broken, confiscate the grain and metal materials including cookers in the whole city, and then tell the people that they are willing to join the army, and there is food instead, and they don't follow and ask for it. The grain and grass of one state and one government have been taken away, and the state capital next door is being attacked, which will happen soon. In addition, even if there is no cooking pot with hidden food, everyone will die in a few days and can only follow. But it was also a narrow escape. In the next siege, new people were asked to rush to the city as cannon fodder, many of which were roads where bodies were piled up.
Hong Xiuquan rebelled for himself and was so exclusive that he was not worthy to be called a traitor. For more than 5,000 years in China, except Zhujiajian Island, where the Ming Dynasty was a farmer, other countries have succeeded from Guangwu and Chen Sheng to Zhangjiao to Huang Chao, and then to Li Chuang. Farmers have no goals and ambitions. They are nothing but money and beautiful women. Just like our nouveau riche, we suddenly feel rich: the world belongs to him and we dare not do anything. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is ridiculous. Before the second half of the country, it claimed to be the king of heaven, and it also sealed so many kings in the southeast, northwest and Hebei. By the end of this period, there were more than 2,000 kings. The heavenly king Hong Xiuquan had no political talent except lust and greed, and killed 100 million people in China at that time.
Li Zicheng's failure was caused by the environment, and Zhu Yuanzhang could only realize it when the Mongols would sit still and watch the tiger fight. However, under the centralization of power in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for the rebels to build walls and accumulate grain. It is indeed a better strategy to surrender first and then rebel, and make empty promises in order to preserve our strength, which has been proved by later generations. Before Li Chuangwang invaded Beijing in Ming Dynasty, political propaganda and military development were very important. After entering Beijing, it was unsafe for the people, but it poisoned the people, killed government officials in the Ming Dynasty, and coveted enjoyment. The last time I was defeated, I was defeated in Jiugong Mountain, and the rest insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. Hong Xiuquan completely imitated Zhu Yuanzhang and was very successful in the early stage. The reason for the failure is that local interest groups are unwilling to accept centralization. Zeng Guofan and Xiang Jun actually started the modern warlord regime, and the later case of Zhang Wenxiang's assassination of Ma Xinyi was also a reflection of this way of thinking.
There are two words in history: breaking and standing. It is historical progress to break the old and backward order and establish a new and relatively progressive new order. Huang Chao, a scholar born as a salt vendor, bullied the city after he entered Chang 'an, which was also one of the reasons for his rapid downfall. The rest of him is a disaster for the people, more disabled and more fierce. It is said that human flesh is used as military food. The Huang Chao Uprising accelerated the demise of the Li and Tang Dynasties and caused great damage to social productive forces. From then on, warlords began to scuffle, separatist forces blossomed everywhere, and the lives of ordinary people were in dire straits. Although Li Zicheng broke the old backward and corrupt Ming Dynasty, it allowed the Qing Dynasty to establish a cruel and backward Qing Dynasty, and it was indeed reasonable to be scolded. Hong Xiuquan not only failed to overthrow the corrupt Qing Dynasty, but also failed to establish an advanced new order. Besides, he is more dissolute and heartless, and he is undoubtedly a sinner!
