At that time, Huainan, Zhongwu, Xuanwu, Yicheng, and Tianping had already formed a situation of encirclement of the rebel army, and in time, they could shrink the encirclement and completely kill the rebel army.

In order to prevent the official army from making dumplings, the rebel army began to attack Yizhou. In Xinzhou, he was defeated by Song Wei, the envoy of Tianping Jiedu, and then the rebel army moved to Henan and captured Yangzhai, Jiacheng, and Ruzhou.

After the attack on Zhengzhou was frustrated, the rebel army moved south to attack Shen, Guang, Lu, Shou, Shu, Tong and other prefectures. In Qizhou, Wang Xianzhi was obsessed with ghosts and wanted to surrender, but after being beaten by Huang Chao, the two parted ways. Then Huang Chao went north to capture Yunzhou, and once again captured Yizhou.

Then Huang Chao rushed to Shengshan again, joined Wang Xianzhi's general Shang Rang, and the two joined forces to attack Songzhou. After the defeat, the two sides split again, Huang Chao led the army to fight in the Qi and Huang areas, and after the defeat, he returned north to the Central Plains again, captured Kuangcheng and Puzhou, and then continued to attack Maozhou in the south.

At this time, Wang Xianzhi was defeated and killed in Huangmei, Huang Chao became the leader of the rebel army, Huang Chao led the army to the north to break through Yizhou and Puzhou again, and then wanted to enter Xiangyi and Yongqiu, but was blocked, and turned to attack the eastern capital, and was blocked again, so he led the army to attack Bian, Song Erzhou, and then turned to attack Weinan, Ye, Yangzhai and other places.

Huang Chao saw that the official army in Henan was strong, so he waved his army south, moved to Hunan, and successively captured Qian, Ji, Rao, Xin and other prefectures.

When attacking Xuanzhou, he was defeated, so he entered eastern Zhejiang, passed through Wuzhou to Quzhou, overcame thorns and thorns, opened a mountain road of 700 miles, and invaded Fujian.

In Fuzhou, the rebels were attacked by Gao Biao and then moved south into Quang Nam. and invaded Guangzhou, Huang Chao originally wanted to develop Guangzhou into his lair, but the sky was unsatisfactory. At that time, the plague was raging in the city of Guangzhou, and a small part of the rebel army died. So Huang Chao led the army north again and captured Gui, Yong, Heng, Tan and other states.

When capturing Xiangyang, it failed, so he crossed the river to attack Ezhou, and then moved to Rao, Xin, Chi, Xuan, She, Hangzhou and other prefectures, encountered the Tang army, and lost. Retreat to Raozhou, defeat again, and then retreat to Xinzhou.

The plague raged in Shinshu. The vitality of the army was greatly damaged, and Huang Chao surrendered under the pretense of righteousness, and after the vitality was restored, Huang Chao led the army to defeat the Huainan soldiers. Capture Muzhou and Wuzhou. Then cross the Yangtze River in the north, besiege Tianchang and Liuhe, and then cross the Huai River in the north, and enter Ying, Song, Xu, Yan, Ru and other prefectures.

Then he captured Luoyang, advanced to Guanzhong, and successively captured Yuzhou, Tongguan, and Huazhou, and finally led the army to Chang'an.

On December 5, 880, Tang Xizong left his wife and children. Under the escort of the Shence Army, he fled in a hurry. The wife can be found again. The child can be reborn, and if the little life is lost, it cannot be renewed, so is what the Emperor thinks. In the afternoon of the same day, Huang Chao's vanguard successfully entered the imperial capital of Chang'an without encountering any resistance.

On this day, Huang Chao, who was wearing the golden armor of the local tyrant, entered Chang'an surrounded by soldiers, and realized the long-cherished wish of the Heavenly Incense Array to penetrate Chang'an and the city to be full of golden armor.

When Huang Chao came, the people of Chang'an held banners to celebrate warmly, and they almost got a literary troupe to shout welcome and welcome, and they were warmly welcomed.

Of course, at this time, Huangchao's army was still the people's army, not only did not commit any crimes in the autumn, but also took the initiative to take out military rations and distribute them to the poor people. Huang Chao issued a notice: The Yellow King raised an army, originally for the people, not like the Li family does not love Ru Cao, but Ru Cao lives in peace.

The people were moved and almost cried, this is the People's Liberation Army that liberates the people! On December 12, Huang Chao entered the Taiqing Palace. The next day, he ascended the throne and became the emperor in Hanyuan Palace, the country name was "Daqi", the Yuan Jintong was established, and the world was amnesty.

This year, it has been five years since Huang Chao raised his army, and it has been three years since Zhu Wen participated in the uprising, it is really not easy, after experiencing war, through the plague, after experiencing fraud, Wang Xianzhi is dead, Shang Junke is dead, Zhu Cun is dead, so many people have died, but the two of them survived, this cannot but be said to be a miracle.

The reporter asked Huang Chao: "If you can persist until now, please tell me how you did it." Huang Chao smiled proudly and said, "There is another secret that I haven't revealed to you, in fact, my nickname is Xiaoqiang." At this time, Zhu Wen naughtily broke into the camera, squeezed his eyes at the camera and said, "I also have a secret that I haven't revealed to you, in fact, my nickname is also Xiaoqiang." ”

The road is defeated

There is a very inspirational quote on the Internet: When you fall to the bottom, please don't be discouraged, because no matter which way you go in the future, it will be uphill.

I think there should be a second half of this sentence: when you reach the top, don't be complacent, because no matter where you go, it will be downhill.

Entering Chang'an was not only the climax of the Huangchao Uprising, but also the beginning of its defeat. In the past, he ran around, the officers and soldiers were looking everywhere, and he could fight whoever he wanted; Now, if you see it or not, I'll be there, not sad or happy, and as a result, whoever wants to hit him will hit him.

In the past, although the old defeated and the old and the dead, due to the chaos and fooling everywhere, there would always be people who did not know the truth who were fooled into joining the army by them, and as a result, the army was like a snowball. Now, whether you want it or not, the people are there, neither increasing nor decreasing, and when the army and people are gone, there will be no other sources of troops to replenish it.

In the past, wandering around, robbing in all directions, you could eat hundreds of meals and grow up; Now, there are only a few sheep, and after eating the mutton, you can only eat wool.

The most important point is that since entering Chang'an City, Huang Chao exclaimed: Eh, mom, I used to live in vain, it turns out that there is such a prosperous place as Chang'an in the world!

After becoming the emperor, Huang Chao exclaimed again: Eh, mom, I used to live in vain, it turns out that there is such a happy job for the emperor in the world! All the land under heaven is mine, all the silver under heaven is mine, and all the women under heaven are mine.

Every day I am drunk and dreaming and playing with women, I can't be busy, how can I have time to chase deserters! At this time, someone asked: "What about Tang Xizong?" Huang Chao thought for a while and said, "Then let the little emperor of the Tang Dynasty live a few more days." ”

However, he was idle, but Tang Xizong did not, because what he has now is what Tang Xizong has lost.

Many things, after losing it, will know its preciousness when Tang Xizong found that the things he was accustomed to before and took for granted suddenly no longer belonged to him, he couldn t sit still, so. Gather an army with the intention of taking back everything that belongs to you.

In the first month of the first year of Zhonghe (881), Tang Xizong ordered the vassal commanders of Zhendong, Taiyuan, Daizhou and other places to lead their own soldiers and horses to Beijing to defeat the rebels.

March. With the Fengxiang Festival, Zheng Zheng served as the commander of the camp of all the provinces in western Beijing, and made the "alliance to raise troops and spread the world" with Jingyuan, Qinzhou, Yanyan, Xiazhou and other places. In July, the prime minister Wang Duo concurrently served as the assassin of Huazhou and the commander of the camp on all sides of the capital, "sending Lang officials and imperial history branches all over the world to recruit troops to Guannei"......

But Huang Chao's side is not good for the passing years. At the beginning, Huang Chao sent Shang Rang and Wang Bo to attack Fengxiang. Shang Rang paralyzed the enemy, fell into an ambush, and returned defeated. More than 20,000 people were folded.

Then not long after returning to Shun, Xia Suijie made Zhuge Shuang defect to the enemy, it seems that there is indeed no hatred for no reason in this world, and there is no love for no reason, and the refreshing Zhuge Shuang can surrender happily. You can also surrender back happily. Of course, all of this is nothing more than a sharp word.

In April, Huang Chao appointed Wang Mei as the envoy of the Suining Festival, but was killed by the Tang army within a few days. At this time, some of the officers and troops approached Chang'an, and Huang Chao thought that the imperial army was coming, so he was so frightened that he ran away and ran out of dozens of miles in one go.

After leaving Chang'an City. The more Huang Chao thought about it, the more wrong it became: No, it seemed a little wrong. I didn't seem to see many officers and soldiers just now, so what should I run? So he led the army back to kill back, drove away the official army, and reoccupied Chang'an City.

There is also an episode here, after the official army entered Chang'an, they felt that the people in the occupied area should be regarded as the enemy's people, so they plundered it on a large scale;

When Huang Chao fought back, he was very angry that the people greeted the officials and soldiers, and they slaughtered the soldiers, and the blood flowed like a river, and it was called "washing the city".

Now many angry young people hope to be able to make a crossing, and they all hope to return to the troubled times, thinking that with their talents, they may be able to be like Xiang Shaolong, all of them are shutting down, worshipping the prime minister, and having a group of wives and concubines, but the most likely result is that as soon as you cross back, you will be washed away by the city.

In troubled times, having a knife in your hand is the royal road. As a common people, I can only be used as a sword, and I am the meat of the fish, and the body of the fish is horizontally displayed, and I am allowed to be slaughtered.

In September of the second year of Zhonghe (882), Zhu Wen surrendered to Tang, the power of a bad example is endless, and Li Shen, the assassin of Huazhou, also wanted to surrender, but was discovered by Huang Chao and ruthlessly killed. Huang Chao appointed Huang Ye to replace Li Shen

In November, Huang Ye was expelled by Li Shen's old department. In the first month of the third year of Zhonghe (883), Li Keyong led 50,000 troops to Shayuan and defeated Huang Kui.

In April of the same year, the soldiers and horses of Tang Zhuzhen gathered in Beijing, and Li Keyong took the lead in the battle. Huang Chao personally led a large army to meet Yu Weiqiao, the first battle, defeat, another battle, another battle, another battle, and continued defeat.

The dog that bites people does not dare to do it, and everyone who falls into the water wants to go up and kick it a few more times, and after losing the battle, the other soldiers and horses also took the opportunity to launch an offensive, and the righteous army was defeated. On April 14, Li Keyong invaded the Beijing Division, and Huang Chao was unable to win the battle and withdrew from Chang'an City overnight.

In May, Huang Chao sent Meng Kai to attack Caizhou (now Runan, Henan), and Tang Jiedu made Qin Zongquan face the defeat and return to the Yi army. Meng Kai attacked Chenzhou (now Huaiyang, Henan) and was killed by the assassin Zhao Li. Zhao Li, a native of Tianshui, Gansu.

Born in the general's family, his ancestors were loyal military generals. When he was young, he played with the children in the neighborhood, arranged the troops, and appointed himself as the marshal. When his father saw this, he was very happy and said, "My family is a thousand miles away, and I will be a big one!" After becoming an adult, Zhao Li was promoted to a dental school because of his erudition and good at arching horses.

During the Huichang period, the Zhaoyi Festival made Liu Zhi rebellious, Zhao Li went out with his father, won a lot of people, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Yu, the Loyal Army.

After Huangchao captured Chang'an, Xizong fled to Shuzhong, the Central Plains had no owner, and the people's hearts were in turmoil, and hundreds of people in Chenzhou asked the envoy of the Zhongwu Army to send Zhao Li to serve as the assassin of Chenzhou, and was agreed.

After his arrival, Zhao Li actively renovated the city wall, dredged ditches, stockpiled grain, recruited brave men from all directions, and strengthened army training at the same time, leading a family to guard the city day and night to prepare for war.

In June, Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan joined forces to besiege Chenzhou, "digging five trenches and attacking it in a hundred ways". At the same time, in the north of the state city, "the palace room is a long-lasting plan".

At this time, the imperial court continued to mobilize large armies to encircle and suppress the peasant army. In July, Zhu Wen was appointed as the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, and the envoy of the east side of the Jiadong was recruited. In September, Shi Pu, the envoy of the probationary army, was appointed as the commander of the eastern army.

In December, Chen Zhou asked for help from his neighbors. Zhongwu Town, Zhou Qi, Shi Pu, Zhu Wen and others led the army to the rescue.

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Yellow Nest can't beat Li Keyong, and it's more than enough to clean up a few small warlords. In the first month of the fourth year of Zhonghe (884), Zhou Qi and other rescuers were beaten by the righteous army, and they couldn't resist it, so they had to ask Li Keyong for help from Hedong Jiedu.

In February, Li Keyong led an army of 50,000 to reinforce him. The combined army first defeated Shang Rang in the north of Chenzhou, and then defeated Huang Ye in the west of Chenzhou, Huang Chao saw that the big thing was not good, so he withdrew his troops from Chenzhou and retreated to Guyangli north of Chenzhou.

As mentioned earlier, since Huang Chao entered Chang'an, food shortages have become a fatal problem for the army, so much so that soldiers often live by gnawing on tree bark. During the siege of Chenzhou for more than a year, the food supply became even more inadequate.

People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Huang Chao thought: In revolutionary work, we must firmly establish the concept of the first army, and no matter how poor we are, we cannot be poor in food and clothing, and no matter how hard we work, we cannot suffer soldiers.

After pondering and pondering, he finally creatively found a good way to solve the problem, ordered people to make hundreds of giant cones for spring rice, and then sent troops to arrest people everywhere. Now, please guess what Comrade Huang Chao is doing here?

Soldier? Wrong! Spring rice? Wrong! The answer is when rice. The specific method of operation is to remove the person clean, then put the whole person into a meat grinder (giant cone), stir the person into meat sauce like spring rice, and finally distribute the meat and bone residue to the soldiers as military rations.

Old Tang Book? Biography No. 150 records: The thieves besieged Chen County for 100 days, and there was still no cultivation in the eastern part of the country, and people were hungry leaning against the walls, and the thieves captured people and ate, killing thousands of people every day.

The thief has a grinding stone, for the huge hundreds, the birth of people in the mortar of broken pieces, together with the bones and food, if its poison is ...... For this matter, in addition to shock, it is still shock, and I will not comment on it, this is not something that people can do at all.

In May, after several days of heavy rain, the water on the flat ground was three feet deep, and the Huangchao camp was drifted by the flood.

When the Huangchao army crossed the river in Zhongmu (now Zhongmu, Henan) Beibianhe Wang Man, it was attacked by Li Ke with the momentum, and the righteous army was defeated, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded.

Huang Chao led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to the northeast, and Li Ke chased all the way to Fengqiu. At this time, it rained heavily, and Huang Chao collected thousands of stragglers and braved the rain to go east to Yanzhou.

A mystery through the ages

Fan Wei said: "I know how I dripped it, but I want to know why I didn't drip it." "But for Huang Chao, people don't know how he came to drop, and they don't know how he didn't drop in the end. The specific date of Huang Chao's birth, no one knows in later generations, and how he died in the end, there are different opinions on the rivers and lakes, which has become a mystery for the ages.

The New Tang Dynasty Book? The Legend of Huang Chao records that when Huang Chao defeated the Wolf and Tiger Valley, he said to his nephew Lin Yan: "You take my head to surrender, and you can also seek glory and wealth!" Lin Yan couldn't bear to kill Huang Chao, so Huang Chao killed himself. (To be continued......)
