The riot on the walls ended abruptly, just as he had begun...

The soldiers around him pushed the soldiers who came out of the tent away, leaving a gap for Yan Shao to come out, so that Yan Shao could see everything that happened on the city wall more clearly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The moon was sparse, and the moonlight was still bright enough to illuminate the ground, but none of this was as helpful as the firelight on the city walls.

It was not for nothing that ancient night raids were easy to succeed without warning. One of the most important reasons is night blindness, a troublesome disease that a considerable number of people suffer from even in modern times, and it is difficult to perceive the surrounding situation even at night.

Although the Han Dynasty was one of the most powerful dynasties in China, it was relatively backward in terms of economy and other aspects. What's more, it is still the end of the Han Dynasty, as we all know, any dynasty in history is usually the kind of people who are not living at the end of the period—————— Song Dynasty is barely an exception, because the Song Dynasty is one of the few dynasties in Chinese history that has not been able to achieve great unification, and the economy is indeed unprecedentedly developed, but it is relatively weak in armament.

In fact, the Song Dynasty won many foreign wars, but it was only because there were not enough cavalry, coupled with the shortcomings of other aspects, that it was never possible to unify, especially at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. It's better to be in the Southern Song Dynasty.

With the exception of the Song Dynasty, the rest of the dynasties were usually due to various natural and man-made disasters at the end of the period, which caused the people to live in poverty, so that the entire dynasty eventually died in various turmoil, and there are many examples of this. For example, the Han Dynasty ended because of the melee of the princes caused by the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the same was true of the Ming Dynasty.

Then there was the fall of the Qing Dynasty, basically for the same reason. In his later years, the people began to seek adaptations, and at first they tried to change through political changes, such as the cabinet.

This is also called reform, well, or political reform, in an attempt to change the Manchu government from a feudal dynasty into a cabinet dynasty similar to that of the British.

There were also many people who pinned their hopes on the Manchu government, hoping that these people would give power to those who remained loyal to them. It's a pity that they seem to think too much and think smarter about the Manchu rulers at that time, but they don't expect that their stupidity has exceeded the bottom line. Just like today's Chinese football, the Chinese football league is being held hot, and it can even be called a recovery, and it is instantly inserted. (It's actually a pseudo-fan here, no way, after all, the national football team is too bad.) It's just that the Chinese Super League has been hot recently, so I have begun to watch the game again, originally, in recent years, in fact, the domestic league is getting better and better, although the World Cup is basically hopeless, but there is still progress, and then, sadness comes, all kinds of inexplicable reform policies have been taken down, such as mandatory U23 players at least one, the purpose is to train new people or something, and there are foreign aid quotas and the like, some things that are completely inconsistent with the laws of the market, by the way, That thing that cultivates new people has actually been abroad, and people have already figured out a solution, didn't you make me have to be a new person? Okay, I'll send the newcomers, one minute is enough, right? ）

In any case, those who were still expecting the Manchus gave them a hard slap in the face. It's not that all the members of the cabinet are royal, it's just that the key positions are basically royal, and only a few positions are Han. This also made the people who had expectations completely disappointed with the Manchus, so the banner of the revolution was raised high, and the rest of the things naturally did not need to be said.

In addition, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people were already living in poverty, and all parts of the country were completely disappointed with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the morning, and when the revolutionary army was raging in most of the country's provinces, there was almost no resistance.

Incidentally, the fall of the Manchus was almost historically inevitable. Unlike other places in China, when the superstructure is rotting, the people below are unlikely to remain submissive, and even if there is a farce such as demonetisation as in India, there will still be no resistance.

However, if we continue to follow the historical process, the life span of the Manchu regime can be maintained for five or ten years. Especially considering that after the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, China was likely to get a very good time due to the demand for industrial and agricultural products. A prime opportunity to export to the Entente, when any commodity would be of great value.

Just like the United States in history, before the war, it owed Britain hundreds of millions of pounds, but after the end of World War I, Britain owed the United States a lot of pounds—————— you must know that before the outbreak of World War I, Britain's annual financial revenue was only more than 100 million pounds.

There is also Japan, which did gain a lot of benefits in the First Sino-Japanese War, and even became one of the great powers, as well as the Gengzi Incident and the like. But when it came to the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was severely brushed by Britain and became cannon fodder for the British.

But after World War I, Britain, like the United States, owed Japan a lot. It can be said that the First World War was devastating for Europe, but it was an opportunity for countries outside of Europe.

If the Manchu Qing Dynasty could survive until this time, maybe the life of being extended would be more than five or ten years...

And unlike what is recorded in history, it was not the Wuchang Uprising that really terminated the life of the Manchu regime and made him miss this opportunity, at least not simply the historical time of the Wuchang Uprising (in fact, the entire process of the Wuchang Uprising was also very tortuous, for example, the Wuchang Uprising in history had to wait for a period of time to happen, but in the process of preparing gunpowder for the rebels, someone operated in violation of the rules—————— to put it simply, when someone made a bomb, someone next to him was smoking and watching, and then with a bang, the dynamite maker went to the hospital, and the rest of the people had to retreat, evading the police, and in this case had to revolt in advance), but from a failed stock speculation...

At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the rapid development of the transportation industry, rubber resources were in short supply, and prices skyrocketed. In 1908 rubber sold for 2 shillings per pound in the London market, rising to 10 shillings per pound at the end of 1909, and peaking at 12 shillings in the spring of 1910. By the beginning of 1910, 122 companies had been established to develop the rubber resources of the South Seas. In the London financial market, the fastest sales of rubber stocks is that 1 million pounds of shares are sold out in half an hour, and international rubber investment is close to madness.

Shanghai, China's largest capital market, has also been deeply involved in this international capital rubber speculation. According to the Times estimates, at least 40 of the 122 rubber companies that developed Nanyang were set up in Shanghai, most of which were handled by foreign banks in Shanghai and sold shares on behalf of foreign banks, and opened accounts with foreign banks in Shanghai, with a total capital of 25 million taels.

At that time, many people in Shanghai did not even understand what rubber was, and based on hearsay, they frantically snapped up the shares of rubber companies, fearing that they would lose the opportunity to get rich after falling behind. Driven by herd mentality, by April 1910, in just a few months, 25 million taels of shares of 40 companies had been sold out. After speculation, stock prices rose in turns. The opening price of a stock called "Dipang Oak Company" on the Shanghai Stock Exchange was only 25 taels per share on February 19, 1910, and rose to 50 taels on April 6, a doubling price in a month and a half.

However, the bubble is always going to burst, but this time the bubble caused a bit of a big impact when it burst.

On July 21, 1910, the three big money banks of Zhengyuan, Zhaokang and Qianyu in Shanghai collapsed at the same time, owing 7 million taels to other banks and banks. On October 8 of the same year, China's largest silver number, Shanghai Yuanfengrun, collapsed, affecting 17 branches in various places, and the panic spread throughout the country, forming the second shock of panic. On March 21, 1911, the famous ticket number Shanghai Yishanyuan collapsed, implicating 23 branches in other cities, forming a third wave of shock, and the panic reached the extreme. The financial panic interrupted the upward momentum of China's national capitalist economy for six consecutive years after 1903, and the Great Depression lasted for several years, with countless bankruptcies and enterprises.

The collapse of Yuanfengrun brought down 9 banks and banks, causing 30 banks to close down, and financial panic broke out. Following the abundance of the source, the source of righteousness and goodness could not exist alone and went out of business. Yuanfengrun, Yishanyuan branch all over the country, to and from the village number is innumerable, their collapse, resulting in the north to Yingkou, Beijing, south to Guangzhou, west to Chongqing, the country's major commercial and industrial cities into a panic, the ensuing national economic depression is inevitable.

Of course, the matter is not so simple, the Manchu government at that time had no money to fill the vacancy, so as a last resort, it only needs to state the Sichuan-Han railway, and intends to sell the railway to save everything. But it is this that is the real and most fatal thing, the railway was made by the Sichuan people selling blood, you will be nationalized without saying a word, and the compensation is pitiful, how can the Sichuan people agree.

So, of course, there were all kinds of uprisings in Sichuan. In order to solve this situation, the Manchu government mobilized the new army stationed in Wuhan at that time, a kind of army formed by Western-style methods, and the combat effectiveness was still very strong. A large number of new troops were transferred out of Wuhan, leaving Wuhan empty, and the rebels in Wuchang at that time seized the opportunity to launch an uprising.

It can only be said that many historical events really happened under a series of accidental circumstances...

For example, Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, if it weren't for a series of accidents, it might not be so easy to re-establish the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The fall of the Manchus was also the same, and it should be said that the Manchus would perish almost certainly. After all, such a corrupt and incompetent government, if he does not fall, who will fall?

However, after 1903, the whole of China's industry and commerce was actually in a state of prosperity, which can be seen from the growth rate of the Manchu government's fiscal revenue at that time. In addition, the world war that was about to break out in 1914 may be successfully extended, not to mention five years and ten years, right?

At this time, there was a rubber stock boom, so that the Manchu government had to nationalize the Sichuan Railway. The uprising of the Sichuan people also forced the Manchu government to send troops from Wuhan to suppress it, causing the emptiness of Wuhan. Coupled with the explosion caused by that little bit of soot, which led to the advance of the Wuchang uprising, some of them were in a very accidental state.

Well, there is also Yuan Shikai, in fact, Yuan Shikai didn't plan to capture Wuhan at all when he went south, just to build momentum to force the Manchu Qing to step down, and his credit is not small...

———————————— Dividing Line——————————

Ahem, I said so much inexplicably, no matter what, the end of any dynasty is a bit of a misery for the people. This was the case with the Qin Dynasty, the first great unified empire of China, and then the same with the Han Dynasty, and the same with the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is not easy to say, there are also problems in this regard, and the same is true of the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true of the Qing Dynasty...

Malnutrition aside, night blindness has something to do with it, but it's not big, and the most important thing is vitamins.

But if you don't even have enough to eat, then vitamin intake is basically a joke.

If you want to say that all the ancients had night blindness, that's just nonsense. But if you want to say that most of the people in ancient times suffered from night blindness, it is still possible.

Especially considering various situations, even in the dark night when there are many stars in the month, it is still one after another to see the people around you clearly. If it weren't for this, so many night raids in history would not have had such a great effect. For example, Gan Ning's 100 cavalry robbery camp is like this, selecting hundreds of elites to attack the camp, and they can break through from it so easily, and even cause chaos in Cao's army.

Just with the number of 100 people, no matter how powerful Gan Ning is, it may not be, but what if it is combined with night blindness?

The Cao soldiers couldn't see the people around them clearly, at least most of them, and the camp caused by the night raids, the Cao soldiers slashed each other, and it seemed not difficult to imagine that the final result would be so...

The same is true for now, if it were only by moonlight, the other soldiers would probably have a hard time seeing what was going on above the city walls. Yan Shao's situation is better, God willing, his current body does not have night blindness, which may also have something to do with his diet.

But add to that the light of the fire on the walls, and it's easy to see what happened.

"My lord, there must be civil strife in the city!"

There is no need to even speculate at all about this kind of thing, Tai Shici has already spoken beside him.

"Yes, that's how it should be..."Sun Guan also speculated on the side. This Cai Qi is not listened to by many people in Donglaiben, and today's battle is so fierce, at least the smarter should be able to see that Cai Qi has no chance at all..."

If this is the case, someone will plan to overthrow Cai Qi, and it doesn't seem to be a very strange thing to sacrifice the city himself.

Just looking at everything on the city wall, he was a little hesitant. Although this possibility is not necessarily impossible, but the possibility of strategy always feels greater? If you act rashly, you can't say that something will go wrong. If the losses of the soldiers are not mentioned for the time being, the morale will definitely drop a lot, and this will be a bit more than worth the loss.

However, just when Yan Shao was hesitating what to do, Guan Hai next to him spoke.

"Lord, why don't I lead the soldiers and horses of my headquarters to take the opportunity to attack the city."

But Guan Hai was a little unwilling, and the generals always had to get credit on the battlefield. It had already been planned that he would lead the troops to attack the city tomorrow, as long as he could take Huangxian, it would definitely be a great achievement for Yan Shao. As the first general to follow Yan Shao, Yan Shao could never treat him badly.

Who would have thought that he was expecting it, but something like this happened. Even if his head is not very good at turning, he can see that there must have been a big change in Huangxian now, maybe someone in the city has rebelled.

Considering Cai Qi's ability, maybe he has been captured by the people who raised the army at this time, wouldn't this be equivalent to a splashing credit that slipped away before his eyes. How can this be willing? Not only Guan Hai, but also Zhou Cang next to him, seeing that Yan Shao was hesitating, he also hurriedly stepped forward to hug his fist. "Lord, the last general is willing to go together!"

Everyone in the camp tent looked over one after another, making Yan Shao regret why he didn't bring Dong Zhao here.

Although this person is definitely not as famous as Zhuge Liang or Xun Yu and others, he is also a strategist, isn't he? And to be able to leave a name in the history of the Three Kingdoms, at least the ability is still there, which is suitable for giving advice to yourself in this situation.

Originally, if it was according to Yan Shao's temper, now that such a thing happened, he would definitely send his subordinates to take a look, at least try to attack, and talk about whether there is a problem or not.

Even if there is really a problem, isn't it good to cut the problem together?

It was Guan Hai who took the initiative to ask for the battle, and this was the person who followed Yan Shao at the beginning.

Although Yan Shao has never promised anything verbally, he has already promised a lot in his heart to this loyal general.

If this is replaced by a decisive battle, not to mention, Yan Shao will definitely not be reluctant to do anything, and the general will inevitably die in battle. How could Yan Shao be reluctant to let his generals go to the battlefield for such a reason? If you don't say anything else, I'm afraid that even your own subordinates will feel humiliated.

But now it's different, Huang County is important to Yan Shao, but it's not so important that you need to trust yourself the most and follow your longest-standing subordinates to test it...

"Wait for the time being, let's talk about it tomorrow, anyway, this Huang County is in front of my eyes, and it is impossible for me to suddenly grow two legs and run away." After thinking about it carefully, Yan Shao also vetoed Guan Hai's proposal and decided to wait and see. "I can't wait for tomorrow to attack the city, it's just a small Huang County, can it still stop me and others?"

But he really didn't take the defenders of Huangxian County seriously, he could be regarded as having been fighting for a long time, although he was not such a decisive person, but he could be regarded as having seen a lot of the world. It's just a yellow county, it's really nothing, this Cai Qi is not a big person, and he doesn't need to be so cautious.

"Yes..."Seeing that Yan Shao didn't agree to go by himself, Guan Hai clenched his fists and retreated a little helplessly, but there was no way, but he was a little anxious in his heart.

If something really happens in the city, the credit will be lost.

Zhou Cang next to him also knew his method, he actually thought the same way, but there was no way to do it when the situation was like this, so he could only pat Guan Hai's shoulder as a reassurance...

"Order, the whole army is on alert, and when the day comes, we must find out what happened!"

Mmmm, I'll make up for it right away, sorry!!
