At this point, the peasant uprising, which lasted one year and two months, was declared a failure. Pang Xun's uprising caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the loss of property was incalculable, dealing a fatal blow to the Tang Dynasty, which was already in its twilight years. Some historians commented: "Tang died in Huangchao and the disaster was based on Guilin."

After Pang Xun was defeated, Zhuge Shuang led more than 100 people to surrender to the imperial court and was appointed as the defense envoy of Ruzhou, and the defense envoy was the local governor below the Jiedu envoy. In the first year of Guangming (880), Li Guochang and his son rebelled and threatened Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong. The imperial court ordered Zhuge Shuang to lead the army north to rescue Hedong.

Subsequently, Tang Xizong summoned Zhenwu Jiedu to return to Beijing to serve as the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and replaced Wu Shitai with Zhuge Shuang.

Wu Shitai disobeyed the order, and Xizong had no choice but to reappoint Zhuge Shuang as the envoy of Xia Suiyin, who was in the north of present-day Shaanxi.

At the end of the same year, Huang Chao entered Chang'an, and Zhuge Shuang led the army into King Qin. Before Zhuge Shuang arrived, Chang'an had fallen, and Xizong was forced to flee Shuzhong.

Zhuge Shuang garrisoned Liyang, and here, he surrendered Huangchao. After Zhuge Shuang surrendered, the imperial court sent another person to take over Xiazhou, this person is a minority, named Tuoba Sigong, maybe you are relatively unfamiliar with Tuoba Sigong, then good, let's change the name, Li Sigong, maybe you are also relatively unfamiliar with the name Li Sigong,

Well, let's mention another name, Li Yuanhao, now I have a little impression, Li Yuanhao is the founder of the later Western Xia Kingdom, and Tuoba Sigong is of the same clan as Li Yuanhao.

After that, the Tuoba Sigong family occupied Xiazhou for generations, until Li Yuanhao became emperor and established the Western Xia regime.

In February 881, Emperor Huang Chao of the Great Qi Dynasty appointed Zhu Wen as the vanguard envoy of the southeast camp to attack Nanyang to prevent the Jing and Xiangguan armies from advancing northward, and Zhu Wen successfully completed this mission. In June, Zhu Wen returned to Chang'an. Huang Chao personally met him on Ba Shang and rewarded him.

Bashang, also as a tyrant, in the southeast of today's Xi'an City, is a military important place near Xianyang and Chang'an in ancient times, and the ruffian emperor Liu Bang attacked Xianyang through here to destroy the Qin Dynasty.

At this meeting, the emperor highly praised the young military generals represented by Comrade Zhu Wen. He fully affirmed the results they had achieved in this military operation, and instructed Zhu Wen to work hard, make persistent efforts, and win glory for the country. The emperor kindly took Zhu Wen's hand and asked: Is it good to eat in the army? Warm clothes, right?

How are you at home? Comrade Zhu Wen also expressed his determination on behalf of the young generals: We must closely rally around the central government with His Majesty the Emperor as the core, take His Majesty's interests as our own interests, work hard, and repay the emperor.

After the commendation meeting, the emperor once again sent Zhu Wen to march west to resist the attack of the Tang army, and Zhu Wen also completed various tasks well.

Descend Tang

Year 882. Huang Chao appointed Zhu Wen as the defense envoy of Tongzhou, which is now Dali County, Weinan City. The actual situation at that time was that Tongzhou was still in the hands of the Tang Army, that is, it was appointed to you, but you wanted territory,

You'll have to get it yourself. The nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change, and they are all emperors. is still picking like this, taking other people's things to others. I'm afraid this kind of thing can only be done by smugglers like Huang Chao.

However, it is better to have an appointment than nothing, Zhu Wen held the appointment letter, went to the fart, fought hard, and successfully occupied Tongzhou. The position of the defense envoy of the same state has not yet been hot, and Zhu Wen looked around. My heart was half cold.

To the east of Tongzhou is the Yellow River, to the east of the Yellow River is in the river, there is a cow man named Wang Chongrong in the river, when Wang Chongrong gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and united with other feudal towns are sharpening knives Huo Huo to Lao Zhu.

Spelling dad is not a phenomenon unique to modern society. It was the same in ancient times. Wang Chongrong, a native of Qi County, Shanxi, his father is the history of Yanzhou Thorn,

Relying on his father's relationship, Wang Chongrong became a petty officer in the army. According to historical records, Wang Chongrong is a master of conspiracy and trickery, how high is it?

Let's put it this way, the commander-in-chief of the army was very scared when he saw him, a petty officer, for fear that he would be fooled and lame by accident.

After Huang Chao broke through Chang'an, he divided his troops to attack Puzhou, and Jiedu made Li Du beat him, so he had to think of another trick. Countless ancestors have told us that there are three ways out if we can't fight, either surrender, escape, or commit suicide.

In the face of multiple choice questions, Li Du weighed again and again: he was afraid of pain when he committed suicide, and he was reluctant to escape and was reluctant to save this little family business.

In the end, he chose the easiest option - surrender. After getting Puzhou, Huang Chao is very uninteresting, you say that you can't always pick wool from a sheep, often ask for people and things,

The appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and the Li Du who wants it is almost the best. In fact, Huang Chao also has a hard time, who let the family only have such a few sheep. Later, Wang Chongrong couldn't bear it anymore, so he coerced Li Du to rebel against Huangchao.

Li is an understanding person, and he has such a dozen calculations at critical moments, thinking to himself, he couldn't beat others before, but he can beat them now?

Family business is important, but the head is even more important! So he threw down the talisman and ran away. However, he didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to Tang Xizong to complain, and at this time, Tang Xizong had been driven to Sichuan by Huang Chao to eat hot pot.

Li Du thought to himself: Wang Chongrong, Wang Chongrong, you are too disagreeable, although I once said that you should be the boss,

But that's just politeness, normal people can understand, why are you so serious? After Li Du left, Wang Chongrong killed the envoy of Huangchao and began to be the leader of Puzhou City in a serious manner.

Since he gave up Huangchao, he could only return to the sect, so Wang Chongrong once again threw himself into the arms of the sect, and the sect sent Dou Sheng to convey the holy decree regardless of his previous suspicions.

Of course, the messenger should be served with good food and drink, but many past events show that drinking alcohol not only causes alcoholic liver, but also makes a person confused.

It is estimated that the wine table is too high, and Dou Sheng said with a big grin: "The Son of Heaven sent a minister to manage the affairs of one party, who can expel him?"

Tell me, who is the mastermind? Wang Chongrong became angry when he heard this, stood up suddenly, touched the treasure knife on his waist and said, "Don't look for it, I am the mastermind, what do you want." ”

Dou Sheng was directly frightened, and fled in embarrassment with his tail between his legs. Since then, Wang Chongrong has rightly become the leader of Puzhou City.

The war between Huang Chao and Wang Chongrong began, and Huang Chao sent his younger brother Huang Ye and Zhu Wen to attack Wang Chongrong together, but Wang Chongrong beat him up and ate shit, and 40 ships of armament were captured. Hold it or not,

Either kill the strategic spirit. Wang Chongrong and Yang Fuguang, the supervisor of the Zhongwu Army, attacked Li Shen, the general of Huazhou in Huangchao, and finally captured Li Shen alive and paraded him through the streets. Yang Fuguang, a native of Fujian.

Each place in China has its own specialty, such as Shandong out of military generals, Shanxi out of merchants, Shaoxing out of masters. Chengdu produced beautiful women, and in the late Tang Dynasty, Fujian specialty eunuchs. At that time, some eunuchs showed off their power everywhere after their careers, and lived a luxurious life, which deeply stimulated some poor families, and in order to change the embarrassing status quo, they gritted their teeth and turned their own flesh and blood into eunuchs and sent them to Chang'an. Entered the palace and became a eunuch.

It was under such historical background that Yang Fuguang came to Chang'an from Fujian during the Xuanzong period and became a small eunuch in the imperial palace.

Yang Fuguang, who was a teenager, after a calm observation, took a fancy to Yang Xuanyuan, the eunuch who was the permanent attendant at the time, so he threw himself under his door and recognized him as his godfather. Yang Xuanyuan saw that he was smart and Tong Li. Generous and righteous, and can dance with guns and swords. recognized that this was a manufacturable material, so he accepted him and renamed him Yang Fuguang.

Yang Fuguang followed Yang Xuanyuan and quickly became familiar with all the means in the palace, and at the same time, he also clearly realized that Yang Xuanyuan alone was not enough, and he had to break through on his own.

For this reason, he made a request to Yang Xuanyuan. asked to serve as a supervisor in the local area, Yang Xuanyuan agreed to his request, allowed Tang Yizong, and sent him to the local place to be a supervisor.

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and after the defeat, Zhu Wen re-ordered his troops. Attacked again, successfully defeated Wang Chongrong at Xiguanmen, and then sent troops to Xiayang to capture dozens of grain ships in Hezhongfu.

Zhu Wen ate honey, but also poked down the hornet's nest, which completely angered Wang Chongrong this time, and Wang Chongrong mobilized an army of 30,000 to take revenge. Zhu Wen is very calm, what are you afraid of, we have a big rear!

So I wrote a letter to Huangchao SOS, to no avail, and then to write, to no avail, I wrote ten letters in a row, but to no avail, and after careful inquiry, I learned that the letter was detained by Meng Kai, the envoy of the left army, Zhu Wen was very angry, but the consequences were not serious, because in the face of the emperor's side, he, the general, had no way at all.

For several nights in a row, Zhu Wen had insomnia, there were no cigarettes at that time, if there was, there would definitely be such a picture: under the lonely lamp, next to the corner, Zhu Wen frowned, squatting there alone and smoking a cigarette.

He analyzed the current situation and felt that Huangchao Co., Ltd. is now financially tight, people's minds are changing, and crises are lurking, and it is estimated that it will be a few days before bankruptcy. Thinking of this, Zhu Wen violently plucked the cigarette butt to the ground, and muttered hatefully in his mouth: "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves." So he gathered his staff and took counsel to stay.

Everyone agreed that there was no need to follow the broken ship of the Yellow Nest Company to finish, and changing the boss was the best way out.

The meeting finally reached a consensus: copy the squid of the boss Huang Chao. So, Zhu Wen killed the prison army, took all his belongings, and of course took the Tongzhou City given to him by Huang Chao, and surrendered to Wang Chongrong.

Once, a reporter asked Zhanzhao: "As a Nanxia, why did you give up the happiness and enmity on the rivers and lakes and run to Master Bao?" ”

Zhan Zhao replied: "How can the little gangster compare with the civil servant!" "Actually, Zhu Wen doesn't want to rebel, he also wants to be a civil servant, he has thought since he was a child, and he has always thought that if it weren't for the fact that life was too hard, he couldn't get along, and he had no other skills, who would want to risk killing his head and live with the infamy of being a thief?

Now that the opportunity has come, you can become a national civil servant without studying and taking the Jinshi exam, why not? Zhu Wen was just a peasant, he didn't have too deep political consciousness, and he didn't have too high a moral standard, and he rebelled just to survive at the beginning, and later he also wanted to survive when he descended to the Tang Dynasty.

Someone once said that no matter what kind of problem you deal with, you can deal with it with the two sentences of "care about your" and "what concerns me".

At this time, someone asked Zhu Wen: "Comrade Zhu Wen, why did you join the rebels and then surrender to the imperial court?" Zhu Wen said lightly: "Mind your!" Someone else asked: "Comrade Zhu Wen, there are still countless toiling people who are living in dire straits, waiting for you to save them.

Are you really indifferent? Zhu Wen still said lightly: "It's my business!" In this way, Juwen surrendered.

Zhu Wen's mother's surname is Wang, and he has the same surname as Wang Chongrong, so after surrendering, Zhu Wen called Wang Chongrong his uncle. Sometimes, I really admire the ability of the ancients to climb relatives and bring the past, this trick, we really can't learn it. When Tang Xizong heard that Zhu Wen had surrendered, he clapped his hands excitedly and laughed: "It's really heaven to help me." ”

General Mao likes to leave precious ink treasures such as XX is a good comrade everywhere, if Tang Xizong also mentions a few big words at this time, I think Tang Xizong will definitely wave his pen and write: Zhu Wen is a good comrade.

Emperor Xizong expressed his love for Zhu Wen with practical actions, and named Zhu Wen as the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and the deputy envoy of the camp in the river, and gave him the name Quanzhong. Zhu Quanzhong did not disappoint him, and later he expounded the meaning of Quanzhong with practical actions, that is, I would rather I bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me, and try every possible way to be loyal to myself wholeheartedly.

In the second year, Zhu Wen was awarded the Xuanwu Army Festival Envoy, and from then on he would use Xuanwu as a base to establish his own organization, al-Qaeda, so as to compete in the Central Plains and achieve his imperial career.

Comrade Zhu Wen told us: It doesn't matter if you don't study, it doesn't matter if you have a low starting point, and it doesn't matter if you work in a private enterprise, as long as you use your means properly and are good at changing jobs, you can still get into state units.

Entered Chang'an

Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi are both from smuggler salt dealers, and to put it bluntly, they are the private armed forces of the underworld. It is conceivable that when Huang Chao, the underworld smuggler of salt, encountered the official army, he was able to escape every time and never charged, and he was able to outwit and never fight.

The universal policy they implement is: Fight if you can fight, and run if you can't. This strategy has been tried and tested repeatedly in the struggle against the official army. After the uprising, the two continued to enforce this golden rule.

Huang Chao thought so: since it worked before, it will definitely work in the future. At that time, the feudal towns were growing and the government was weakening, and many intertwined spheres of influence were formed throughout the country.

Huang Chao is a very good hacker, he fully understands and uses the flawed and broken system of the Tang government, and then, like a loach, leads the army to shuttle through the power vacuum between the feudal towns, causing the court to sweat profusely, in a hurry, but unable to do anything.

Although, in this way, the government has no way to deal with them for a while, the situation of the rebels themselves is not very optimistic.

To put it bluntly, there is no universal policy, and there is no policy. The rebel army did not have a scientific and perfect strategic plan at all, but only thought of where to fight, where to fight, I would attack when the enemy was weak, and I would run when the enemy was strong, and they did not know what the next plan would be or what they wanted to do.

Huang Chao is confused, and we as spectators are even more confused, so every time I read the history of Comrade Huang Chao's four crossings of the Yangtze River, two crossings of the Yellow River, and the southern and northern wars, I have a headache.

Well, tourists and friends, the bus is about to depart, please fasten your seat belts, today our team leader is Huang Chao Huang tour guide, next, he will lead us to travel south and north, a glimpse of the motherland's great rivers and mountains. (To be continued......)
