Chapter 28 The Yellow Turban is a hidden danger and the Han Dynasty is seeking death
Chapter 27: The Yellow Turbans threaten the Han Dynasty and seek death
After reading Huang Chao's plan, Zhang Jiao was filled with emotions. Although he was full of confidence in resisting the Han on the surface, he was actually worried in his heart.
Zhang Jiao knew clearly that it would be extremely difficult to destroy the Han with the strength of the Taiping Religion. There was a huge gap between the two sides. The Yellow Turban Army's only advantage was to catch the Han army by surprise before the Han army could react.
But when the elite Han army reacted, could the Yellow Turban Army composed of civilians really be able to resist?
To be honest, Zhang Jiao was unsure!
But after seeing Huang Chao's plan, Zhang Jiao was very convinced. This plan is not absolute, but it also adds some possibilities for the Yellow Turbans to succeed. It is currently the most suitable route for the Yellow Turbans.
There is no doubt whether Huang Chao's plan will be used or not, but Zhang Jiao still has a question before that, that is, this plan is not complete, and there should be follow-up plans later.
Zhang Jue's vision was very vicious, and he could clearly see that even if Huang Chao's three-step strategy was completed, the world would still not be completely unified, and this was not Huang Chao's style.
Regarding Zhang Jiao's question, Huang Chao smiled and gave an explanation, that is, in his opinion, if these three steps are really completed, after the main force of the Han army is eliminated and the Han capital Luoyang is captured, the general trend of the world will basically be determined and the world will be unified. It's just a matter of time, so there's no need to formulate the fourth and fifth steps.
Huang Chao's self-confidence gave Zhang Jiao great confidence and hope, and he also had some special expectations for Huang Chao in his heart.
Grandpa Mao once said that the power of the people is infinite.
The Yellow Turban Army, an army composed entirely of people, shocked the world with its explosive power after having a correct action guideline.
Under the violent offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, the Han army retreated steadily. In less than a month, they had conquered territory covering nearly one state. Especially in Yuzhou, they were unstoppable. The first step was about to be achieved. Although the current situation was The territory is not yet connected into one piece, but the Yellow Turban Army already has the confidence to resist the Han army.
Looking at the Yellow Turban Army growing stronger day by day, Zhang Jiao was so happy that he woke up with a smile even in his dreams at night, and there was something else in his eyes when he looked at the greatest hero, Huang Chao.
Although Zhang Jiao valued Huang Chao in the past, he only regarded Huang Chao as a strategist. But now Huang Chao's performance is not that of a strategist. This is clearly a hidden dragon!
Yu'er is too immature at the moment, and although Xiuquan is capable, the gap between him and Huang Chao is still too big.
Huang Chao has vision, ability, means, and the ability to convince people. If the Taiping Sect is handed over to him in the future, it may have better development. Zhang Jiao thought secretly in his heart.
As a leader, Zhang Jiao is undoubtedly unqualified. He does not have enough ability and vision to pave the way for the Taiping Religion in the future.
But as a leader, Zhang Jiao is qualified. He can employ people and delegate power. He knows that he is not capable enough, so he hopes to have someone with sufficient ability to inherit his mantle. Even if he is not a blood relative, it doesn't matter.
Zhang Jiao was originally a poor scholar who was deeply suppressed by his family. He became a Taoist priest when he had no other choice but to become a Taoist priest. If not...he would never have embarked on the path of rebellion.
Huang Chao's experience happened to be similar to Zhang Jiao's, which made Zhang Jiao see his own shadow in Huang Chao. In addition, Huang Chao's performance was indeed too dazzling, so Zhang Jiao had a vague idea of establishing Huang Chao as his successor.
Although Zhang Jiao wanted to marry his daughter to Xiang Yu, it did not mean that Xiang Yu would be his heir. It was just that his daughter Zhang Ning had chosen Xiang Yu, so Zhang Jiao had no choice but to marry his daughter.
As his son-in-law, Xiang Yu is indeed qualified to become Zhang Jiao's heir, but the prerequisite is that he must pass Zhang Jiao's test.
After observation, Zhang Jiao came to the conclusion that as a son-in-law, Xiang Yu has character, ability and responsibility, is dedicated enough, and is considerate enough. He is definitely a good candidate to be entrusted with his life, and his daughter has good taste.
But as a leader, Xiang Yu's current strategic vision and means are insufficient. In addition, his personality is too arrogant. When he is stubborn, he cannot listen to the opinions of others. In general, he is still too immature and lacks experience!
However, in Zhang Jiao's view, these are not fatal shortcomings. After all, who is not proud of a truly talented person? Xiang Yu is still young, as long as he can change it will be enough!
But in the next observation, Zhang Jiao was disappointed. Xiang Yu's pride came from the inside out, from the bottom of his heart. If he could really change it, he would no longer be Xiang Yu.
So although Zhang Jiao still showed great affection for Xiang Yu on the surface, he no longer had hope for him in his heart. The real successor in his heart was Hong Xiuquan.
Of course, as long as Xiang Yu can correct his shortcomings one day, Zhang Jiao will still consider him. After all, how can a son-in-law kiss an apprentice?
Rebellion is a technical job and cannot be led by just being able to fight.
Hong Xiuquan is no match for Xiang Yu if ten of them are tied together, but Hong Xiuquan's views on the relationship between divine power and imperial power put even Zhang Jiao to shame.
In addition, Hong Xiuquan single-handedly took up the Yangzhou Taiping Road and had merit and ability, so Zhang Jiaocai always acquiesced in the fact that Hong Xiuquan was the successor.
Of course those were all before, now Zhang Jiao has a new candidate in mind, and he is Huang Chao.
Although Huang Chao was not Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, nor his apprentice, Huang Chao was the one who gave the Yellow Turban Army a new life. His contribution was too great to be rewarded with ordinary rewards.
Huang Chao is so good that Xiang Yu and Hong Xiuquan cannot cover up his brilliance. Compared with Huang Chao, both of them are indeed too young.
Zhang Jiao believed that Huang Chaocai was the most correct choice at present, but what he didn't expect was that the biggest crisis for the Yellow Turbans had already begun since he told Huang Chao about his idea of establishing Huang Chao as his successor.
What Hong Xiuquan didn't know was that he had always thought that his biggest opponent was Xiang Yu, but he never expected that it would be the military advisor who had never shown his talent.
Xiang Yu also always thought that he was his father-in-law's heir. Who would have thought that his father-in-law would give up on him because of his character!
Huang Chao is undoubtedly the most complicated. In history, Huang Chao was an emperor. Although Huang Chao in this life has won Zhang Jue's trust, will he really stay at Zhang Jue's side and serve as a military advisor? Of course it’s impossible!
Huang Chao has great ambitions, and the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is his goal. Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army are both the targets of his use. However, Huang Chao did not expect that Zhang Jiao would have such a broad mind. He did not establish a son-in-law or an apprentice, but instead came to Take advantage of yourself as an outsider.
If this is the case, wouldn’t my previous actions be meaningless? It seems that I have really judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
ˆ Huang Chao was moved by Zhang Jiao's trust and felt extremely guilty at the same time, but then he relaxed his mind. For such a heroic figure, the choice between emotion and ambition is no suspense!
Although the Yellow Turban Army is unstoppable on the battlefield, they are also fighting a smokeless battle internally. If this trend is allowed to continue, the Yellow Turban Army will one day be destroyed. Of course, this must have a prerequisite, and that is Zhang The horn is gone.
The Yellow Turbans will not be in chaos if Zhang Jiao is alive. But if Zhang Jiao dies, it is hard to predict. The good situation of the Yellow Turbans may fall apart immediately.
…
June 181, Lishan.
After reading the battle report of the past month passed by the letter eagle in his hand, Qin Hao's handsome face immediately showed a happy smile.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is swayed by wind and rain, and the building is about to collapse. The imperial army's anti-rebellion army cannot control the situation at all, and has to mobilize the border troops to suppress the rebellion. His father Qin Wen is among them, so Qin Hao, who is accomplished in academics, naturally also wants to go.
It has been more than 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and its rule can be said to be deeply rooted. However, the Yellow Turbans have grown to such an extent in such a short period of time. It can be seen that the Han Dynasty has really lost the support of the people and has deep resentment among the people!
However, after Qin Hao looked back and detailed what the Han Dynasty had done over the years, it was not difficult to understand why the public resentment was so deep and why the Yellow Turbans could grow so big in just three months.
The Han Dynasty is seeking death, how can they blame others! Qin Hao laughed secretly in his heart.
During the reign of Emperor Huan, good people were imprisoned and favored by eunuchs.
Emperor Huan died and Emperor Ling came to the throne. The **** Cao Jie and others took over the power. Dou Wu and Chen Fan plotted to kill him. However, the matter was not kept secret and he was harmed. Zhongjuan became more and more unruly from then on.
In February of the fourth year of Jianning, there was an earthquake in Luoyang, and the sea water overflowed. All the residents along the coast were swept into the sea by the big waves.
In the first year of Guanghe, the female chicken turned into a male.
On the first day of June, more than ten feet of black air flew into the Wende Hall. In the seventh month of autumn, a rainbow appeared in Yutang; all the shores of Wuyuan Mountain collapsed.
Where does the public dissatisfaction come from? That's where it comes from.
When a country is about to perish, evildoers, treacherous ministers, and cowardly kings will be born.
As far as the Hunjun is concerned, as far as Liu Hong is concerned, there have been several in the Han Dynasty, and the things they have done are more outrageous than the last.
The traitorous minister is naturally the tenth minister, but as for the evildoer? It can only be said to be a natural disaster!
It's okay to have one faint king, but to have several in a row, and each one is more exaggerated than the last. What's going on? Therefore, the people will naturally be disappointed with the Han Dynasty.
Coupled with heavy taxes, bullying by aristocratic families, darkness in official circles and other big problems, the basic common people really couldn't survive, so they naturally despaired of the Han Dynasty.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Han Dynasty today is no different from the Qin Dynasty four hundred years ago. They are both synonymous with cruelty. However, the difference is that they have not experienced the cruelty of Qin, but they have personally experienced the cruelty of Han.
And why is the Yellow Turban’s slogan of “fight against the tyrants, kill the foolish kings, behead the traitors, and punish the evil spirits” so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
That's because what they say is true, and they don't accuse the Han Dynasty at all.
The people will naturally stand up and resist after they are completely desperate for the country, and all kinds of remarks that are not conducive to the Han Dynasty, with the deliberate propaganda of the Taiping Religion, have achieved beyond everyone's imagination, and the Yellow Turbans can grow so much, and win the battle of public opinion are inseparable.
In the original history of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty only ordered each region to recruit troops to defend the uprising, and allowed the powerful to recruit private soldiers to assist. Then they only sent three generals, including Huangfu Song, to lead elite troops in three groups to suppress it. It only took less than a year to completely suppress the Yellow Turbans. military.
However, the scale of the Yellow Turban Uprising in this generation is far greater than before, and the talents are unprecedentedly prosperous. Therefore, the Han Dynasty not only did not easily suppress the rebellion, but also tended to be defeated. As a last resort, it was natural to mobilize the border troops.
As for how corrupt the war situation has become? The battle report Qin Hao received had clear records:
On March 1st, the Taiping Sect raised troops in 36 groups in the eight states and built 28 cities that day.
On March 15, the entire state of Chen in Yuzhou fell, and half of the state of Liang fell.
On March 21, the entire Jiyin County of Yanzhou fell.
On March 29, the entire Le'an County of Qingzhou fell.
