Chapter 235, Haoqiang Uprising

"Then the Taiping Dao, gathering millions of people, and the world responding, it can be seen that it is the will of the people, but why did it lose in the end?" Zhang Ning shook his head puzzled, very distressed.

Zhao Yun glanced at her, knowing that she had been a yellow scarf, and she had a lot of feelings for Taiping Dao, and it was not too much to ask this question, Zhao Yun sighed softly, "Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao, in just a few years, has spread all over the country, and it has to be admirable, you just said that the people want it, it is true, Zhang Jiao is not simple, he raised his arms, and the world responded, much stronger than Chen Sheng and Wu Guangke back then, but there is one point, the Yellow Turban Incident is completely different from the previous peasant uprising. ”

"Huh? What's the difference? Zhang Ning was stunned when he heard this, and asked hurriedly.

"First of all, Taiping Dao is to use religious beliefs to gather people who have risen, and it is indeed very clever to be able to use the power of religion, and furthermore, strictly speaking, the Yellow Turban Uprising is not a peasant uprising, but a wealthy uprising."

"What do you say? So many poor people participated in the uprising, and they all enthusiastically joined the ranks of the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Ning's eyes widened, puzzled, and hurriedly argued.

Zhao Yun was as calm as water, and smiled faintly, "Listen to me and explain to you, although there was an accident in the middle of Zhang Jiao's uprising, because Tang Zhou told the truth, the incident was forced to advance, even if the original plan was disrupted, but still in a very short period of time, thirty-six square Qu Shuai responded at the same time, gathering millions of people in a short time, and the scale affected the entire Central Plains, just a group of farmers would never be able to do such a careful and orderly layout." Not to mention, the communication between the Taiping Dao, just the letter transmission is a rather cumbersome and huge work, and there is not the slightest mistake in the transmission of a huge amount of documents, which shows that there are a certain number of people in power in the Taiping Dao who are scholars, and they are scholars with status, and they are organized, disciplined, and in unison, which is by no means something that can be achieved by just a group of peasants, in other words, the upper commanders of the entire Taiping Dao are some powerful and powerful powerful powers in various places, The poor peasants were simply instigated and exploited by the Taiping. ”

"You talk nonsense, it's not like that."

Zhang Ning suddenly became very excited, and jumped up all of a sudden, his apricot eyes widened, staring at Zhao Yun deadly, with a posture of wanting to fight him.

Zhao Yun was not angry, and still said calmly, "Since Wang Mang, there is an unwritten rule, a single name is generally a person with a certain social status, and it is rare for a powerful person to have a double name, and most of the people in power in Taiping Dao are single names, like Zhang Jiao's three brothers, Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, Han Zhong, Zhao Hong, although it can't be generalized, but there is definitely a certain truth, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army met the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, not only did not do harm, but because of respect, after saying goodbye, he also agreed not to attack Zheng Xuan's hometown Gaomi County; The Yellow Turban even made friends with the eunuchs in power, and won over many powerful people, which the poor people couldn't do. ”

Zhao Yun's analysis is by no means untargeted, as a traverser, he has a certain understanding of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it has been mentioned in the history books, many wealthy businessmen and magnates joined the Yellow Turban, and even willingly went to Jizhou to defect to Zhang Jiao, and many people even died on the way.

Zhang Jiao is not a fool, powerful people in the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army, absolutely occupy a high position, and hold absolute command.

When Zhang Jiao was active in the early days, he attracted the attention of others, and some people once made a statement to Emperor Ling, saying that Zhang Jiao's intentions were wrong, and thousands of people were bewitched by him, and sooner or later it would be a disaster, but many party members defended Zhang Jiao, saying that he was doing good deeds and educating the people, which was conducive to social stability.

For no reason, it is impossible for the party to come forward and say good things for Zhang Jiao, which shows that Zhang Jiao is very scheming and strategic, and secretly recruited many people to cover for him, so that for several years, he did not arouse the hostility of the imperial court when he preached everywhere, and then became a blockbuster, and the world responded.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, that was the real peasant uprising, was forced to be cornered and rebelled directly.

Zhang Jiao has been carefully preparing for more than ten years, deliberate, and plotting for a long time, if it were not for the leakage of secrets by Tang Zhou, it may not be possible to subvert the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, and the peasant uprising could not be done to this extent.

Seeing Zhang Ning pouting and sullen, Zhao Yun smiled, "Let me ask you, even if Tang Zhou told the whistleblower, but at the beginning, the yellow scarf also had the absolute upper hand, so why did he only hold out for a few months and be defeated by the imperial court?" ”

"How do I know?" Zhang Ning snorted angrily.

"This is exactly what I want to say, at the beginning, they did have an organization and a plan, but they were fighting separately, lacking coordination with each other, you fight yours, I fight mine, and finally they were seized by the army of the imperial court and eliminated one by one, do you know why they fought separately?"

Zhao Yun continued, "This is precisely the result of people's greed, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban prevailed, they were complacent, did not take the court in their eyes, plus those commanders have families and businesses, do not want to leave their homeland, they all want to be the king and hegemony in the local area, they think they can dominate one side, and they do not obey Zhang Jiao's orders at all." ”

This also indirectly proves that the commanders of the Yellow Turban Uprising were all powerful and powerful wealthy people, and even if the poor people moved to the entire Central Plains, they might not take it seriously, and only those who had big families and big careers were reluctant to leave their homeland.

Zhao Yun finally sneered and made a summary, "Taiping Dao has attracted a lot of powerful people to join, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is to make the early stage of the Yellow Turban Uprising more organized, the bad place, these magnates obviously have a localized nature, the homeland is difficult to give up, the homeland is difficult to leave, Nanyang has been staying in Nanyang, Yingchuan has been staying in Yingchuan, fighting for themselves, regardless of the life or death of others, this is the biggest reason for the final demise." ”

The Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhao Yun can be evaluated in one word - chaos!

Zhang Jiao has been carefully preparing for so many years, it seems to be organized and planned, but people's selfishness is too heavy, each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others, a good situation, but in the end it becomes a bad game of chess.

Zhang Ning lowered his head and was silent, still sulking, Zhao Yun stood up and said, "These words, I shouldn't have said more, after all, the position is different, you look at Zhang Yan of Montenegro, he has been hiding in Taihang Mountain, when the momentum is big, he gathers millions of people, but he is still hiding in the deep mountains and jungles, he is afraid that he will not be able to do without Taihang Mountain in his life, and when others free their hands, he will be destroyed sooner or later." ”

Holding on to a place and not moving, this is the most deadly, when it is time to forge ahead, we must be determined to move forward and move forward bravely.

Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, and Liu Xuan, the princes who only know how to keep their doors behind closed doors, like Zhang Yan, just stick to one side, and sooner or later they will be swallowed up.

In troubled times, the weak eat the strong, and if you want to stick to it blindly and be a dog guarding the house, sooner or later you will be eaten by wolves.
