Volume 2 West River White Boyan Section 23 Dragon and Phoenix

On the fifth day of November in the sixth year of Zhongping, Shangai, Longfenggou.

With the cold snap of Siberia in the south, winter also arrives in Shangai, which is located in the Taihang Mountain Basin. At this time, the weather was extremely cold, and the northwest wind was blowing, and the wind was blowing on people's faces like a knife scraping on their faces, bringing a piercing pain. The goose feathers and snow also fell from the sky one after another, like small flowers scattered by fairies. All kinds of animals in the snow have also disappeared. They are also hiding in their comfort nests at this time, and they are sleeping soundly. In this inaccessible world, several figures in leather armor wearing fur hats move slowly in this blanket of silver. They followed the village road and went one foot deeper and one foot shallow down the valley at the lower end.

After a while, the snow stopped, and the mountains in the distance were covered with snow, and strange brownish-gray rocks appeared from them. The four-season evergreen pines and cypresses are also covered with thick snow at this time, which looks white and green, which brings some breath of life to the originally bleak world.

And the figures whose bodies were wrapped in leather also came to the bottom of Longfeng Ditch at this time. The valley floor is a flat path, but it is completely covered in snow, making it difficult to see what it is.

A young man who looked like a leader looked up at the sky, the sky was still a haze color, still very gray, and a little depressing.

"Look at it, the snow will continue for a while." With that, the handsome face of the young man under the fur hat had a slightly melancholy look, and then he stopped and stood.

"Captain, the winter clothes and hay distributed above are slightly insufficient, and none of the soldiers under him can train." Beside the young man, a strong man with a deep nose and high eyes complained in a low voice.

"Now my subordinates are living in simple houses, and they can hardly do anything. Supplies are consumed in vain but nothing is produced. "Another young man in his twenties is complaining.

"Okay, okay, I know everything. There are also their difficulties above. The handsome young man nodded, then thought for a moment before continuing.

"Although this Shangai County is relatively rich, after all, it is located in the deep mountains, and after this period of war, it has been devastated by this period of war. It is still difficult to feed so many people, so it is estimated that begging for supplies is also a dead horse as a horse doctor. ”

This time, it was Zhao Hong who took a few officers and guards to Shangai County to attend a military meeting, and Zhao Hong, who was already the commander of the Baibo army, rushed to Shangai County with several chiefs and guards to report the situation to his superiors. Then they disappeared on the road leading to the county seat of Shangai, leaving only a trail of footprints in the snow......

When night fell, these people had already returned to the village of Longfenggou from Shangai County. They looked a little depressed, apparently not getting any more supplies. And they all went back to their houses. Taking off the fur on the top of his head, Zhao Hong, who felt a little tired, also came to his thatched house.

At night, Zhao Hong, who was lying on the bed, looked at the dark surroundings, but couldn't sleep......

"If you don't rebel through the crossing, you won't do anything to find me." As a high school student, Zhao Hong, like other peers in his previous life, preferred to read online novels, in which the protagonists were those who rebelled against the flag, those who joined the imperial court and eventually became powerful ministers, and those who were willing to act as executioners for the ruling class to suppress the people. As the saying goes, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people. Zhao Hong, who originally planned to wait for the official army, was finally coerced into the Baibo Golden Army, an anti-government-government armed force ------ this era. This couldn't help but make Zhao Hong, who was lying on the bed, feel that God was playing tricks on people.

In this era, the success rate of rebellion was still relatively high, and the oppression of the people by the ruling class was not as strong as that of later generations. For example, in the Jin Dynasty of the Goryeo fat family in later generations, one-tenth of the people in the country could be starved to death, but no one could rebel. Why is that? Is it because modern people are particularly tolerant? Would you rather starve to death than contribute to the mental stability of the "Juche" of the fat family?

The answer is definitely not. This is due to the changes in the objective material environment in ancient and modern times. In today's society, developed information and communication and rapid transportation are not comparable to those of the backward conditions of ancient times, and the machine guns and cannons of modern weapons have also widened the gap between the ruling class and the defenseless people, and this is definitely not the gap between swords, guns, swords, halberds, and kitchen knives and hoes. As a result, the government is becoming more and more able to suppress people's revolt in modern society. The autocracy of modern states tends to be much more powerful than ancient societies, which tend to be more brutal and authoritarian.

In this way, the modern state exploitation is much more serious than in ancient times, and it cannot set off any rebellion. Because that's not a rebellion, it's a death.

It is estimated that Shang Ying, a Legalist who practiced a high degree of autocracy in the Qin State, must be ecstatic to see such good conditions in modern society, which is definitely an ideal environment for realizing the power of Legalism, and there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the people at the bottom caused by the serious looting.

Compared with the Soviet socialist states, the tyranny and exploitation of the people could not catch up with Stalin's Qin II, which became a short-lived dynasty under the leadership of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, while the dictatorship of Stalin, who admired the high degree of autocracy, was as stable as Mount Tai. The fat man of the Jin family, who looted the people's rations and starved countless people to death with sticks, has been sitting firmly in the country for more than 60 years. In the year 2564 of the Confucian calendar, the fat third still lived a very nourishing life.

All things considered, Zhao Hong felt that although rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was also an extremely dangerous job, it was not hopeless, and in general it was a hundred times stronger than the rebellion in modern society.

After considering the question of the probability of success of the rebellion, Zhao Hong thought about Bai Bojun. As a member of the Yellow Turban Army, the White Bo Army, which was active in the Bingzhou area, was the remnant of the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping. Since the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, this remnant Yellow Turban Army has been wandering through the mountainous areas of Bingzhou under the leadership of Guo Tai. In the fifth year of Zhongping, the Bai Bo Army absorbed many other displaced forces to join it, and its scale expanded rapidly. The uprising was re-enacted in the Baibo Valley in Xihe County. At present, it can be said that the momentum is very strong and the limelight is strong. Out of the psychology of following the trend, most people are happy to join the White Polish Army, and there is no psychological barrier.

But Zhao Hong, who knew history, was a little sullen, if he hadn't been forced to join the Yellow Turban Army, he wouldn't want to join this team with no future if he killed Zhao Hong.

Anyone who has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that both Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others in it started by abusing the Yellow Turban Army. Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Dong Zhuo also slaughtered the Yellow Turban Army in large numbers. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Yellow Turban Army belongs to the role of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the most important task of the Yellow Turban Army, which is the precursor of the king, is to let all kinds of real protagonists beat hard, just like the Japanese army who was beaten by the American army in the Pacific War. Zhao Hong, who thinks that "life is precious", is unwilling to be cannon fodder for the cattle in the other three kingdoms like the Yellow Turban Army.

In history, the Yellow Turban Army, which has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, is similar to Xiaoqiang, who cannot be defeated. In the end, the various Yellow Turban armies were either co-opted by the warlords or slaughtered.

As a prescient traveler, who wants to mess with a company that is destined to hit the streets? Even if you are lucky enough not to lose your head, it must be a low status if you are merged by another company. As a traverser, the cattle people who took refuge in the Three Kingdoms were naturally not within Zhao Hong's consideration, those people were too strong, and the workers who didn't want to be the boss were not good workers. Zhao Hong, who knows history, feels that working for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others is simply a shame for the traverser. Rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, Zhao Hong felt that he had to occupy a hill and pull the pole if he had the opportunity.

With all kinds of beautiful long-cherished wishes, Zhao Hong, who felt tired, fell asleep unconsciously......
