【Spirit Emperor and Eunuch】

In history, if Zhang Jiao hadn't died of illness early, the Yellow Turban Army would not have had no hope of winning, why? Because the most direct objective conditions are too favorable for the Yellow Turban Army.

Don't forget, Zhang Jiao's main target is not those gate valve families and local tyrants, but Emperor Ling of Han. And what kind of faint emperor of Han Ling, who is surrounded by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and many other villains, has already been introduced earlier. "The lord will be incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, faint kings are in the dynasty, and the country is in danger" This sentence is not to say, so at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, what were the masters of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, and his cronies doing?

In fact, as early as the sixth year of Guanghe (183), some important officials in the imperial court such as Yang Ci and Liu Tao were already wary of Zhang Jiao and his Taiping Dao, and also put forward suggestions and warned many times, but unfortunately they were completely ignored by Emperor Ling.

After Tang Zhou wrote to the informant, Emperor Ling finally understood the seriousness of the matter, so he took action, but even so, he was not willing to remove the party, and he made up his mind under the persuasion of the foreign minister Huang Pu Song and the central servant Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang, the middle attendant, can be said to be the only conscience among the eunuchs at that time, but unfortunately he wants to be a good person and serve the country and the people, but the other middle servants still don't do it!

Because of the contradiction between their ideals, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun and other eunuchs falsely accused Lü Qiang to Emperor Ling, and said to Emperor Ling: "Lü Qiang discussed the imperial court with the party members, and often read "Huo Guang Biography", and his brothers were all corrupt and perverted the law in their official positions. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Ling was very convinced, and ordered Zhonghuangmen to summon Lu Qiang into the palace with weapons. After Lu Qiang learned of Emperor Ling's intention to summon him, he said angrily: "After I die, there will be chaos. If the husband wants to be loyal to the country, how can he face the jailers! So he committed suicide.

Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun and others framed him again: "Lu Qiang was called, and he didn't know what to ask him, so he committed suicide outside, which shows that he is indeed guilty." As a result, Emperor Ling ordered the arrest of Lü Qiang's relatives and the confiscation of property.

This was the general fate of good people under the rule of Emperor Ling and the Ten Standing Servants in that era, even if you were a good eunuch.

Later, the Hanoi people wrote to Emperor Xu and attacked the eunuchs. Zhang Rang falsely accused Xiang Xu and Zhang Jiao of being concentric, and wanted to be Zhang Jiao's internal response. So Xiang Xu was arrested and sent to Huangmen Beisi Prison for execution.

Soon Zhang Jun, a native of Zhongshan, wrote a book to blame Zhang Jiao on the eunuchs, and Emperor Ling was suspicious at first, but when he saw that all the servants knelt down and kowtowed, and after offering their family property, they were angry with Zhang Jun's recital and said: "This is really a madman!" Isn't there a good man among the ten permanent servants? ”

Seriously, after Lu Qiang's death, there are really no good people among the ten permanent servants.

So Yu Shi Shun accepted the intentions of Emperor Ling and the eunuchs, falsely accused Zhang Jun of believing in the Yellow Turban Dao, and arrested him in prison and tortured him to death.

But the actions of the scholars were not stopped by the fear of death, Fu Xie later did it, but his life was good, although Zhao Zhong said a lot of bad things about Fu Xie, but in the end Emperor Ling still did not deal with him, but his credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban was gone.

The incident of Xiang Xu, Zhang Jun and Fu Xie told us that in that era, as long as Emperor Ling was still alive, it was impossible to shake the foundation of the eunuchs, let alone hit the eunuchs, so as long as Emperor Ling was still alive, the evil of the eunuchs could not be eliminated, so the things that the eunuchs dragged on would not disappear!

So Lu was pitted.

Because Lu Zhi did not bribe Zuo Feng of the Little Yellow Gate, Zuo Feng said to Emperor Ling: "The thieves who defend Guangzong are easy to break, but Lu Zhi just let the army hide in the camp and rest, waiting for God to kill Zhang Jiao." ”

Emperor Ling was on the side of the eunuchs, so he dismissed Lu Zhi, who was close to defeating Zhang Jiao, and sent someone to escort Lu Zhi back to Luoyang in a prisoner car, and sentenced him to a punishment that was one degree lighter than the capital crime.

Around April of that year, Emperor Ling once asked Taiwei Yang Ci about the situation of the Yellow Turban Army, and Yang Ci's answer was sincere and straightforward, which made Emperor Ling feel unhappy. Yang Ci was later dismissed for failing to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

At that time, Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, also found the letters of collusion between the eunuchs and Zhang Jiao, but he was later killed by the eunuchs.

[All questions are not a problem]

The Yellow Turban Army does have a lot of problems, but as long as Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is still there, these problems are not a problem in the end.

There are many elite soldiers and strong generals in the official army, such as Huang Pu Song, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and so on. But it doesn't matter, sooner or later, at the instigation of the Ten Standing Servants, Emperor Ling will let them all become the next Lu Zhi one by one. And as long as you survive for a period of time, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army will basically be trained at that time, and it is impossible to say whether there are many good generals under the command of the official army or the good generals under the command of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army is doing mischief, and the people are not happy, but it seems that under the rule of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and those eunuchs, the people are not happy. Although it is true that the Yellow Turban generals did not have an internal affairs talent package at the beginning, as long as people live, they will find a way, they will learn, as long as they persist, they will always be able to, not to mention the possible backlash of some scholars, not to mention the teachings of the Taiping Dao.

The Yellow Turban Army did have a wide range of attacks in the early days, but if Zhang Jiao was really healthy, with the level at which he founded the Yellow Turban Army, the Taiping Dao organization, he would not be without measures. Moreover, at that time, the foundation of the Han Dynasty had been shaken by the two dim and incompetent emperors of Hengling, as long as the Yellow Turban Army could hold on, it was not impossible for the tendency of some landlords to change.

How Li Zicheng conquered the city of Beijing, he relied on guerrillas. As long as Zhang Jiao does not die, at worst it can be a guerrilla warfare situation. But to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen has lasted for almost 20 years in the face of internal and external troubles, and his performance is much stronger than Liu Hong, and people at least know what kind of creatures the eunuchs are.

And how did An Lushan enter Chang'an back then, didn't he rely on eunuchs and Tang Xuanzong, who was faint in his later years, to force Ge Shuhan to send troops, and what about Liu Hong? Did he ever faint? I don't know my parents.

It can be said that the life of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is the greatest guarantee for the victory of the Yellow Turban Army.

But what does real history look like? Although Zhang Jiao, the big boss of the Yellow Turban Army, may be due to physical reasons, in a sense, his performance is not as good as Liu Hong.

At least Liu Hong's backbone of the most powerful man was not hung casually, and after Zhang Jiao died of illness, his two younger brothers were quickly sent to Huangquan by Huangpu Song to be Zhang Jiao's companion.

So in history, the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army lost, and they lost very quickly.

The reason why Emperor Ling of Han did not play too many negative roles in this great uprising was because Zhang Jiao died too early, and the Yellow Turban Uprising failed too quickly, otherwise, we have reason to believe that Lu Zhi would not be alone, there is reason to believe that the Yellow Turban Army can hold out longer, and there is reason to believe that Zhang Jiao may become the winner.

Personally, I think that if Zhang Jiao is healthy, as long as Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, is alive, it is really unlikely that the government will be able to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army.
