Recalling that year, Yingjie Huangchao led the army to break through the capital Chang'an, and the once prosperous Tang Dynasty came to naught for a while, leaving future generations with nothing but ruins. Every time I see the short-sighted, hedonistic aristocrats who do not think about the country and oppress the people at the bottom, I will recall in my heart a bold saying that describes Huang Chao: The heavenly street is exhausted by the minister's house, and the inner library is burned into a splendid pile.
The once great family, a wealthy family that has been inherited for a hundred years in history, fell apart under the iron-blooded rule of Huang Chao. The aristocratic politics of "king and horse, sharing the world" no longer exists today, and the nobles who influenced the fate of the Sui Dynasty finally brought their families to the end of history.
In the dynastic changes of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the figure of the aristocracy gradually disappeared, and the history after the Han Dynasty was different, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, raised troops against Qin as a commoner, and was assisted by Zhang Liang, a Korean aristocratic strategist.
Despite this, his revolt could not have been financed without the nobility. However, in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao swept away this tumor and made earth-shattering feats. So, what kind of character is Huang Chao who can achieve such brilliant achievements?
Huang Chao, a scholar in a feudal society, his thoughts and actions cannot be separated from the era and class attributes in which he lives. His original intention was not to eliminate the "cancer", but to be limited by the times, unable to see the destruction of society by his "cancer".
He grew up in a family of salt merchants, and salt was a necessity of life, which allowed him to live a prosperous life from an early age. Therefore, we should put Huang Chao in the context of history to understand his actions and thoughts.
From an early age, Huang Chao has shown exceptional talent and talent. Both his father and uncle had high hopes for him, hoping that he would pass the imperial examination, become a **, and serve the country.
They know that such a fate is in line with the Confucian idea of self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world. So, Huang Chao's father invited famous teachers from all over the world to study and educate him seriously.
Although he was only five years old, his poetry skills were already so profound that he was able to silence his uncle. Many teachers are **, with Huang Chao's talent and hard work, he will definitely be able to get good results in the exam and even become the champion.
Although Huang Chao has real talent and real learning, but because of the darkness of the late Tang Dynasty society, the officialdom is full of flies and dogs, and no one cares about the country, only for personal interests, Huang Chao has no power in the court, so he failed to win the champion laurel in a row.
When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of ** armor. Who would have thought that the poems of this talented man would become the epitaph of the Tang Dynasty.
Historically, the Tang Dynasty was once prosperous and powerful, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was respected as the "Heavenly Khan", Wu Zetian and Tang Xuanzong also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, leaving great achievements.
However, all this was ultimately unable to resist Huang Chao's anger and determination.
Tang Xuanzong worked hard to govern the country and serve all over the world, but when he achieved great achievements, he began to indulge in pleasure and forgot his mission. An Lushan in the north thus launched the Anshi Rebellion, which brought the Tang Dynasty downhill, as Li Shangyin depicted, although the sunset was infinitely good, it was almost dusk.
Although there was a brief revival in the Yuanhe period, it was only a flash in the pan, and the Tang Dynasty was like a camel in the twilight. The outbreak of the Yellow Nest Rebellion dealt a fatal blow to it, and it was never able to turn over again, but barely survived before it perished.
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and no one is allowed to live at ease. The Tang Dynasty, just like Li Zicheng, even if he was a post stationer, would eventually go to his own stage and create feats that future generations would look up to.
Huangchao is a vivid example. He ran a salt business in his hometown, but he was under pressure in the dark times and could not stand the exploitation. In the end, he chose to take the risk and joined the troops of Wang Xianzhi, an uprising team.
Although the army was only a rabble at first, the addition of Huang Chao brought cultural literacy to the team, which made the team grow rapidly.
The imperial court decided to send troops to suppress it, following the traditional practice, and would appoint a brave and warlike general to quell the war in a short time and play a role in deterring the rebels. However, this time, the imperial court sent second-rate generals, one of whom was just putting on a show to try to scare the rebels, while the other put up a desperate resistance to protect the fruits of victory.
As a result, it was obvious that the officers and troops were defeated and fled. In addition to being disappointed, the imperial court began to try the ancient solution - Zhao'an. However, history has proven countless times that Zhao'an's ending never ended well.
For example, during the Song Dynasty, the uprising of 36 people including Song Jiang was written by Shi Nai'an as "Water Margin", and the later 108 heroes were solved by the imperial court with the strategy of thieves and thieves.
Wang Xianzhi's ending, no one can be spared. Huang Chao knew history well and couldn't convince Wang Xianzhi to move forward. His decision proved to be extremely wise, and a large number of deserters defected to him, and he eventually entered Chang'an City.
However, hatred and success make him addicted to power, he is greedy for wealth and beauty, the wealth of the harem is piled up, and the nobles become his targets of killing. The seeds of defeat had already been quietly planted, and in the end, he could only disappear into the darkness like a bright firework in the night sky, leaving only ashes behind.
