From the "Yellow Turban Change" to the "Comprehensive Pacification", it took only more than ten months for the Eastern Han Dynasty to go.
In terms of numbers, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, there were only more than 900 people. In just a few months, that number exceeded 100,000.
During the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", its momentum far exceeded that of Chen Sheng and Wu Guangda. The Zhangjiao rebellion provoked a response of hundreds of thousands of people in 28 counties in seven provinces.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang raised troops, known as "the king and the general, all belong to the same family". It didn't take long for them to get a response. Even the officials of the Qin Dynasty revolted against the Qin state. From this point of view, anti-Qin is inevitable.
In the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", except for the "rebel army", the rest of the people expressed strong resistance. Even Liu Bei, who had no power and no power, organized his own army to resist the Yellow Turban Army. From this, it can be seen that "anti-Han people" are unpopular among ordinary people.
Why did hundreds of people participate in the "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang" rebellion, and a large number of people participated in the "Yellow Turban Uprising"?
The reason for this is simple: the forces of the uprisings vary.
Wu Guang Chen Sheng's rebellion.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised an army against the Qin State, and these people were all farmers from the six provinces of Kwantung. They're just getting started. The anti-Qin forces were dominated by the princes of the six Kwantung states, that is, the six princes who were destroyed by Qin Shi Huang. Later generations, these people, were the ones who achieved the victory of the anti-Qin war.
Zhang Liang was born in North Korea, his ancestors are the ** of North Korea, and his parents and grandparents are all ministers of the DPRK. After the fall of the Qin state in Korea, Zhang Liang spent all his savings to launch a war against the Qin, and he also assassinated Qin Shi Huang in Purangsa. After his defeat, he fled to the ends of the earth.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang's rebellion, the whole world moved. Zhang Liang pleaded with the rebels of the state of Chu to appoint the king of Han as the king of the state of Chu. Zhang Liang became the Great Sima and recovered Korea. Its nature does not resemble a rebellion against the Qin state, but a war of "restoration".
Xiang Yu destroyed Han Wangcheng, and Zhang Liang surrendered to Liu Bang and assisted Liu Bang in completing his hegemony.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu are both royal families of the Chu State. Xiang Liang's father, Xiang Yan, was a general in the last years of the Chu State. Qin Shi Huang ordered Wang Jian to destroy the state of Chu, which is a good example. Wang Jian defeated the Yan State in one year's work, and the Chu State perished.
Xiang Liang was the leader of the Chu rebellion against the Qin, and he had repeatedly clashed with the Qin and was considered his enemy. Defeated Jing Yi, the prince of Chu, and supported Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, as the king of Chu. The state of Chu re-established its power.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, these two veteran princes of the Chu State, they are all from famous families.
Xiang Liang took the nobles of Chu as the leader and formed the anti-Qin alliance of Chu. For example, Song Yi, who was originally the Taishou of the Chu State, was equivalent to the prime minister, and died at the hands of Xiang Yu.
Wei Jiu, a prince of the State of Wei, was in the late Spring and Autumn Period. After Qin destroyed Wei, Wei Jiu was demoted to a commoner and exiled overseas. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised troops, Wei Jiu also raised troops to rebel. Chen Sheng approved of Wei Jiu as the king of Wei. Wei Jiu suffered a loss under Zhang Han, and finally burned himself himself.
Wei Jiu's brother Wei Baohou, with the help of King Chu Huai, led his troops to attack Wei and broke more than ten cities in a row. He was the king of Wei canonized by Xiang Yu. Wei Baohou followed Xiang Yu into Guanzhong, and Wei was able to prosper.
Chen Yu and Zhang Erli Zhao Xie, the prince of Zhao State, became the king of Zhao, so Zhao State was reunified. With the help of the Yan people, Han Guang became the king of Yan and restored the rule of Dayan.
Tian Dan, a descendant of the State of Qi, was the king of the State of Qin. His anger was gone. Tian Dan died at the hands of Zhang Han. His cousin Tian Rong took the opportunity to rebel. When Xiang Yu ruled the country, there were three Qi Jun.
Liu Bang rebelled in the Qin State, and he was the lowest-ranking minister such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Xiahou Ying. The rebellion launched by Liu Bang was a mixture of the low-level officials of the Qin State + the local nobles + the common people.
According to its composition, it can be divided into three classes:
One is the ancient nobles and royals of the Six Kingdoms; The second is the royal family and nobility from the six kingdoms. second, the participation of Qin officials and local nobles; The third is the farmer of the original six countries.
The so-called "anti-Qin" is essentially "the return of the six countries to the land".
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang's rebellion has just begun. The center of Qin, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Bashu, these places were basically subordinated to Qin.
To a certain extent, the so-called "anti-Qin" is actually the battle of the "restoration of the country" of the "six princes", that is, the alliance of the "six princes".
Although Qin unified six states, it only existed for 15 years. The descendants of the Six Kingdoms, nobles, nobles, nobles, peasants, unwilling to be controlled by Qin, revolted and revolted in order to perish.
The main reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guangneng had so many people supported them was because the anti-Qin forces at that time were really large. The Six Kingdoms combined had many more people than the Qin State, so the Qin became a minority group. Under the strong control of Zhao Gao, under the mediocrity of the second emperor, he finally went to extinction.
Let's take a step back and look at the "Yellow Turban Rebellion". The leader is Zhang Jiao's three people. Zhang Jiao is a very special person. He was a cloth cloth and founded Taiping Dao. He made many disciples through his medical practice and preaching. His apprentices were all farmers and could not survive.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, although it has the banner of Huang Lao'er, known as "Heaven dies, Huang Tiansheng", but after all, it was a typical peasant uprising, and there were too many limiting factors.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty contains "The Biography of Huangfu Song Zhu Jun": "The government was burned, the towns were plundered, the counties were lost, and the officials fled. ”
When the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, they didn't talk about any policy at all, and they robbed people when they saw them, regardless of class or status. When they went to **, they burned the ** institution and ransacked the village. The state and county lost power, and many officials fled.
The Yellow Turban Army not only robbed **, but also the landlords, landlords, and farmers. In other words, a gang of farmers robbed everyone else's things.
The horns of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
This is no longer a rebellion, but a bandit. Such a move offends people who should not be offended.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of the Emperors of the Song Dynasty:"The folk proverb says:"The world is a disaster, the city wins, the mother cannot protect her children, and the wife loses her husband. "Everything depends on the emperor to let him settle down again. ”
The people sang: In the troubled times, the city is ruined, the mother can't protect the son, the mother is widowed, fortunately the emperor Song helps, and the peace is achieved.
Huang Fu Song was a figure who, along with Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun, was known as the "Three Heroes" in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Western Han Dynasty.
This shows the people's support for the Eastern Han regime. Under the influence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han court, local officials, aristocratic families, and ordinary people united to resist the Yellow Turban Army.
At the same time, the imperial court also issued a decree that local officials, large and small, and individuals could recruit troops and horses to fight against the Yellow Turban Army together. It was under this circumstance that Liu Bei, with the help of businessmen, recruited troops and participated in the struggle against the "Yellow Turban Army". Later, he made great contributions and was nicknamed Ming Taizong. County Lieutenant Anxi, that is a tortuous official journey.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people's resentment boiled.
Despite the scale of the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", it was "alone" because it did not receive support from all sides. After more than ten months, the Yellow Turban Army was finally suppressed by the Eastern Han Dynasty regime and powerful landlords and peasants, but its remnants also collapsed, some became bandits, some became bandits, and some became the leaders of the "Yellow Turban Army". So he became king. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and these people gradually disappeared.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellions came from six countries in the east, so they had many supporters, and hundreds of people responded.
They were the only champions of the Yellow Turban movement. The rest were all enemies of the Yellow Turban Army, including the Eastern Han court, local officials, landlords, and ordinary people. Although the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" was a large-scale rebellion, it was "encircled and suppressed" due to the lack of strong backing.
