The sky is dead, should the yellow sky stand?

Cultists from common people are generally willing to believe that they were exploited by the most brutal Han Empire, the most dissatisfied with reality, the least educated, and the best targets for propaganda.

With a little agitation, their long-standing oppressed grievances will burst out in an instant, and as long as there are people to lead, someone to organize, someone to distribute weapons, they do not lack the courage to fight.

This is not the case for those Taiping Taoists with a certain social status.

Some of them are powerful landlords, some are officials, and some are petty officials, and their identities are different, but they are all vested interests under the current system.

They chose Taiping Dao because they wanted to obtain greater benefits under the current system, use the channels of Taiping Dao to meet more people, and further open up upward channels, not for the sake of change.

Except for a very few people, most of these people will not think of smashing their golden jobs.

If the Taiping Dao continued to choose to develop within the existing system of the Han Empire, their interests would grow greater, and they would become more and more supportive of the Taiping Dao, and in the end, the Taiping Dao under their control might have the ability to compete with the Five Classics and the Fourteen Laws.

But if the Taiping Dao at this stage directly chooses to cut off with the Han Empire, the situation is completely different.

What's more, they also know some of the inside story of Taiping Dao, and Zhang Jiao's contact with them in the past year or so is not small, and they are all about winning their support, even if they are not sensible, they should know what Zhang Jiao intends to do.

Their abundant capital dooms them to have a bargaining power that ordinary people do not have, they can bargain with existing potential rulers, and they can even jump sideways repeatedly, and it is not impossible to be a slut who eats and sleeps.

They have the capital, they have the qualifications.

So they can become Taiping Taoist members on the one hand, and at the same time they don't participate in what Zhang Jiao has to do, Zhang Jiao asked them to stand there, they said I stand in the middle, Zhang Jiao asked who they helped, they said who won and we helped whom.

What can Zhang Jiao do with them?

When Zhang Jiao was alive, considering the growing public prestige and growing official base of Taiping Dao, although they would not participate in Zhang Jiao's military operations, they did not lack an investment.

If you win, won't you make a lot of money?

But if Zhang Jiao is dead now.

Forget it!

The only possibility of Taiping Dao's success is to succeed under Zhang Jiao's leadership, Zhang Jiao is dead, can Taiping Dao last long?

Don't want the sunk cost, hurry up and cut it!

They were busy drawing a line with Taiping Dao, how could they participate in the rebellion of the remnants of Taiping Dao without Zhang Jiao's unified command?

Smelling a violent smell that was different from usual, the landlords and officials who were very close to Taiping Road stayed away from Taiping Road, and some people who tried to persuade them to join the team were also absolutely far away.

They began to look for means of self-preservation.

The martial arts faction of Taiping Dao fell into an atmosphere of isolation, which further prompted some less radical martial arts factions to waver, and they also further became vacillalists and chose Run.

And the few remaining minorities after the big waves are all hardcore hawks.

They decided to start an uprising.

Zhang Jiao prepared a large amount of grain and military supplies for the uprising, which were secretly stored in some places, and people who did not come into contact with the core level did not know about it.

Luckily, there are a few hardcore advocates in the hardcore hawks who know where these things are stored.

Zhang Jiao's disciples Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng and others knew about this, so they agreed to develop a group of men to arm themselves, and then start an incident on the spot, attack the government, get more resources, expand the team, and raise the banner of avenging Zhang Jiao and creating the world of Huangtian.

Their actions were very fast, and the process of agitating the low-level common people, homeless people, and Taiping Dao believers from bandits was also very fast.

They agreed to tie a yellow cloth towel on their heads, implying the concept of Taiping Dao with the yellow sky above their heads, and officially broke with the sky and the Han Empire.

This time, their actions were almost done in broad daylight, there was no secrecy, no process, it was almost public, anyone who wanted to know could know, so if the government wanted to do something, it was not difficult.

But the problem is that the government has done nothing.

Or that Julu County and the government of Julu County didn't know what to do, and they were also panicking.

Zhang Jiao's local prestige and foundation are too high and too deep, and it is not easy to move, and as soon as he died, the Taiping Dao base camp shook, and countless Taiping Dao believers marched towards Julu County together, just like a pilgrimage, they couldn't be stopped at all.

Julu Taishou was quite helpless in the face of this matter, and wanted to stop the abnormal flow of population, but he did not dare to touch the situation at this time.

Julu is too guarded, and the county order of Julu County is even more daring.

It's not that there are people of insight who have brought up the news of wanting to do something bad within Taiping Dao, hoping that the official will make preparations as soon as possible, and some people even publicly reported to Julu Taishou, saying that several disciples of Zhang Jiao claimed that the person who killed Zhang Jiao was a member of the Luoyang Imperial Court and was ready to rebel.

But Julu Taishou still didn't take any action, or wanted to act, but the staff around him were equally supportive or opposed, and Taishou was also so noisy that he didn't know what to choose.

So when they could do something, they didn't do anything, and the government also watched the warning that someone was going to rebel, and they couldn't even use the power of Taishou to recruit county soldiers to prepare.

After missing the best opportunity, the opportunity was given to the side of Taiping Road.

Because of Zhang Jiao's death, a large number of hardcore sectarians moved from various counties and even counties to Julu County, which gave Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng and others excellent conditions for initiating an uprising.

They quickly organized and agitated these sad and uncontrollable believers, distributed weapons and yellow scarves, and then officially launched an uprising on the 29th day of the first month of the seventh year of Guanghe.

The Yellow Turban Army was established.

On the day of the incident, more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops swept through Julu County, killing the panicked Julu County Commander, Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng and others wanted to vent their personal anger, so they ordered the Yellow Turban Army to sweep away the landlords and heroes in Julu County who were unwilling to cooperate.

Want to sit by?

Think beautifully!

Give me my life!

Most of the landlords in Julu County were caught off guard, and they were successfully swept away by the Yellow Turban Army and completely destroyed.

The newly established Yellow Turban Army, led by Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng, and others, obtained a larger amount of goods for this purpose, and the problem of logistics and supply was satisfactorily solved.

Then they agreed to divide their troops into three ways to attack Julu County, and launched a sweeping operation throughout Julu County, sweeping away all the bastards who tried to watch the fire from the other side, robbing them of their belongings and killing their families.

But this agreement quickly lost its validity.

This Yellow Turban Army went the wrong way at the beginning of the fight, and at the beginning of the fight, it didn't even pretend much, it lost the prestige and shackles of Zhang Jiao, and even couldn't control discipline at the beginning, directly revealing its chaotic and disorderly side.

Their conquest of the city would have gone very well.

When the Taiping Dao believers heard that they were raising an incident under the banner of "Revenge for the Great Sage and Good Teacher" and "The Sky is Dead and the Yellow Sky Should Stand", there were actually a lot of responders, and they all wore yellow turbans and became the Yellow Turban Army, and began to cooperate with the outside world.

The local government was tragically shattered because of the lack of any defense and military mobilization, and a large number of county officials, county officials, and officials in the county government were killed, and the rest either fled or joined them with yellow scarves, which is the so-called joining if you can't fight.

In just a few days, the situation in Julu County was out of control.

Speaking of the situation in Julu County alone, it can be said that it is the beginning of Tianhu, and there are grassroots Taiping Dao believers everywhere who have incarnated as the Yellow Turban Army to help them.

But the problem is that they have no military discipline, no military regulations, and basically have no goals other than revenge.

More crucially, no one has made clear rules on the crucial question of who will take revenge.

So after getting the ring head knife in his hand, after breaking through the city, the Yellow Turban Army not only swept away the landlord Haoqiang according to the order, but also was unceremonious to the people in the city.

They "treat everyone equally".
