71.Chapter 71: The Tomb of the Yellow Nest
"Daoist?"
Chen Xiaoyi didn't understand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Dasheng explained with a smile: "I asked you to check all the information, right?" Tell me about the Yellow Nest. ”
"Oh, of course I've found it all, and I'm going backwards.
Huang Chao (820-884), a native of Caozhou (now southwest of Heze, Shandong), was the leader of a peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty.
Huang Chao was born in a family of salt merchants, good at riding and shooting, rough pen and ink, and rarely poetic.
Huang Chao is a five-year-old waiter, his father is a chrysanthemum sentence, Weng has not thought about it, and casually said: "It can be the head of a hundred flowers, and it is natural to give him yellow clothes." 'The nest father monster wants to hit the nest.
Nai Weng said: 'Sun Neng poems, but I don't know the severity, so I can give another article.' The nest said: "The sassy west wind is planted all over the yard, and it is difficult for the cold fragrance and cold butterflies to come." If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will report that the peach blossoms will bloom together. (Song?) Zhang Duanyi's "Gui'er Collection? Volume II).
But Huang Chao tried again and again as an adult. A year before Wang Xianzhi's uprising, there was a great drought in the eastern part of the country, and the officials forced the people to pay rent and taxes and serve on errands.
In June of the second year of Qianfu (875), Huang Chao and eight brothers and nephews responded to Wang Xianzhi. In February of the fourth year of Qianfu (877), Huang Chao led his army to capture Yunzhou and killed Xue Chong, the envoy of Jiedu.
In the fifth year of Qianfu (878), Wang Xianzhi died, and the public pushed Huangchao as the mainstay, known as the "Cupola General", and changed the Yuan Wangba.
In the first month of the sixth year of Qianfu (879), the soldiers besieged Guangzhou. On November 17 of the first year of Guangming (880), Liu Yunzhang, the eastern capital, stayed behind to welcome the Huangchao army into Luoyang.
On December 1, the soldiers arrived at Tongguan. On December 13, the soldiers entered Chang'an, and the emperor was enthroned in the Hanyuan Palace, with the country name "Daqi", the establishment of the Yuan Jintong, and the amnesty of the world.
On June 15, the fourth year of Zhonghe (884), Huang Chao defeated the Wolf Tiger Valley. In the early years of Zhaozong's recovery, Huang Hao, the nephew of Huang Chao, led the remnants to wander and ambush Deng Jinsi, a local tyrant in Hunan, and the peasant uprising ended at the end of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Well, that's pretty much it, and I found this material as well. But have you studied the wild history of the Yellow Nest? ”
"Studied it."
Chen Xiaoyi replied while driving:
According to relevant records, the peasant rebel army led by Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty besieged Chenzhou for nearly a year on the eve of defeat, and they used mechanized methods to crush living people and use human flesh as military food to supply Huang Chao's besieging troops to ensure the combat effectiveness of the rebel army.
Old Tang Book? Biography 150? The Legend of Huangchao said: "The thieves besieged Chen County for three days, and there was still no cultivation in the eastern part of the country. The thief has a grinding stone, hundreds of huge stones, giving birth to people in pieces, eating them with bones, and if they are poisonous. ”
The New Tang Dynasty Book? The 150th Hundred and Fifty Lower Biography is recorded as follows: "Kai attacked Chenzhou and died, and the nest was surrounded by itself, omitting Deng, Xu, Meng, and Luo, and entering dozens of states in Xu and Gon in the east. The people were starving, leaning on the moats, the thieves and captives were fed, and thousands of people were made every day, and they made a hundred huge piles, and put the bones and skins in the mortar, and gnawed on them. ”
And "Information Governance? The cannibalism incident in the Yellow Nest in Volume 225 is expressed as follows:
"Chao Yi Fu, camp in the north of the state, set up a palace room hundred divisions, for a long-term plan. When there is no accumulation of the people, the thieves plunder the people for the grain, the life is thrown into the mill, and the bones are eaten, and the place where the grain is given is called 'Chung Mo Village'. The troops plundered in all directions, from Henan, Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Meng, Zheng, Bian, Cao, Pu, Xu, Gon and other dozens of states, salty and poisoned. "Huangchaowei Chenzhou for several three hundred days......"
If we calculate based on these data, according to the fact that every seven people eat one dead body a day, more than 200,000 people will lose 40,000 or 50,000 people. More than 100,000 people live from cannibalism. Then at least nearly 20,000 people will be eaten every day. More than 6 million people in more than 300 days. I don't think this information is credible.
The record of Huangchao cannibalism originally came from the author of the Old Tang Book. The author of the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty is Situ Zhang Zhaoyuan of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Zhang Zhaoyuan stood on the standpoint of the ruling class, looked at the peasant uprising with colored glasses, and slandered the peasant uprising everywhere in his writing, and the records were full of untruths, and this book had aroused the dissatisfaction of most literati at that time.
It is because of these historical records that the Yellow Nest is described as using witchcraft to gain the world. ”
Sun Dasheng nodded as he listened:
"Yes, the information you searched for is very detailed, and this is indeed how the demon name of the Yellow Nest was obtained.
But then again, there is no civilization to talk about in times of war, and everyone on the battlefield will become a beast. Maybe Huang Chao hasn't eaten so many people, but I believe that there are definitely a lot of people who died at his hands.
As the saying goes, if one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, Huang Chao can seize the world, he must be a murderous person. ”
"What does that have to do with his tomb changing owners?"
Chen Xiaoyi asked strangely.
Sun Dasheng said on the cloth:
"I found the answer on that piece of cloth. Most of the content on that piece of cloth is depicted in gold lacquer, which is a method of refining magic weapons, and that cloth is used to record important events.
But because of the passage of time, most of the gold paint on the cloth has fallen off, so I can't see a lot of the content, but I can 'see' the story recorded on it.
This cloth is supposed to be about 600 years old, and it records the story of an unknown Taoist sect's internal strife.
This sect of Taoism cultivated an outstanding disciple, but the disciple defected from the sect after the completion of the Dao, and he began to do evil in the rivers and lakes.
Because the sins committed by this disciple were too great, the sect had to organize people to clean up the portal, so everyone fought a big battle in the mountains.
The sect finally captured the traitor after losing most of their combat strength, but they were unable to 'kill' the disciple completely.
So they wanted to find a very dangerous place to suppress the traitor's soul, and they found the tomb of the Yellow Nest.
We already know that this Huang Chao is a man of great perseverance, and he has a mixed reputation in history, but we can be sure that he is a murderer.
A cruel and murderous person was buried in the Valley of the Tiger and Wolf after his death, do you think his tomb can not be fierce?
The Taoist sect killed the disciple in the tomb, then put his body in a hundred refining coffin, and then placed the coffin in the most dangerous position in the tomb.
The traitor's soul is trapped there—immortal, immortal, immortal. ”
"Oh, the punishment of the sect is so terrible!"
Chen Xiaoyi sighed. Sun Dasheng laughed:
That is to be sure, each sect has its own doctrine, in fact, that is a kind of faith, once the faith is violated, the ensuing punishment is certainly not easy.
But I suspect the sect underestimated the traitor's abilities. The traitor was clearly a cult cultivator, and although his body was destroyed, I believe his soul was still there - that man 'lived'. ”
