In today's words, Zhang Jiao was an out-and-out pyramid scheme leader at that time, and he used a personality charm that you can't understand. In a few short years, he developed the number of believers to several hundred thousand, and Zhang Jiao also claimed to be a great moral teacher. In my opinion, the opening angle is a magic stick at this time, but there is no way. His appeal as a magic stick is really strong. As long as he orders, countless people are willing to bleed for him.
I'm thinking, if I have this appeal, what's the point of jumping out of Taoism and developing Taiping Road into another sect? This is much more comfortable than being an emperor, and it is also envied by future generations, but Zhang Jiao did not do so. He chose to launch an uprising directly. He divided all his followers into 36 parties, and each party had a leader, who, like the army, had strong independence and autonomy.
In the early stage of the uprising, the opening angle rebels really gave the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty a headache. After all, there is an old saying that unruly people are the most difficult race to deal with, but not long after the uprising, Zhang Jiao died of illness, and the Yellow turban insurrectionary army, which lost its supreme ruler, instantly became fragmented and then suppressed.
