Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Kong Ming was very interested in the changes in the aristocratic family at this stage, and immediately noted these terms in his small notebook.

Finally, after pondering for a while, he added the sentence It's tempting because of its power.

Pang Tong also stretched his head to see what Kong Ming wrote, then after thinking for a moment, he pointed at this sentence and shook his head:

You also need to first intimidate the Lord with the power of the three-foot sword, so that you can do things easily.

Kong Ming also nodded in agreement:

Looking at the context, it should be after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties should have started to suppress the powerful tribes, so that the foundation of the family can be broken.

Yes, in Kong Ming's view, the reason why this wealthy family could rise from the time of Emperor Wu, last for three to five hundred years, and survive through wars and turmoils was because of the annexation of land in the countryside and the recruitment of local warriors and followers.

From two families to one family, the outcome of this group of people has basically been doomed.

Pang Tong also speculated:

Although the Tang Dynasty did not have the foresight to see the past events of our Han Dynasty, it must have been alert to the troubled times that were only a few decades away.

Then the Sui Dynasty should have taken measures to suppress the aristocratic family.

The light screen was brief, so they could only guess on their own, but in Pang Tong's view, what does it mean that Yang Jian is called an alien?

A sure sign of a wise king! Otherwise, if it were like his two sons, I'm afraid the Sui Dynasty wouldn't be able to last even two lifetimes.

Kong Ming also agreed, and then his eyes turned to the word recruitment system. Of course he understood this. Recruitment is based on self-employed people, which is recruiting soldiers.

So I was a little curious: I wonder what the military system was like during the Tang Dynasty?

After all, in Kong Ming's view, before a desperate battle, one must first make a final decision.

Logistics, food and fodder, the quality of soldiers, the level of generals, etc. all fall into the category of temple calculations.

The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty flourished to this point and experienced a long period of troubled times, so they must have a unique military system.

I really want to see it with my own eyes... Kong Ming sighed.

Indeed. Zhang Fei also sighed: I really want to see with my own eyes how evil this family has done to create this Huangchao.

Kong Ming opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.

…

Let's go to the same pot...

The Zhenguan monarchs and ministers chanted these words and tasted the awe-inspiring and spine-chilling hatred from them.

And like Wei Zheng, cold sweat was already dripping down his back.

He admires Confucianism, prefers the royal way, and does not show false feelings to others. He always thinks that he is worthy of the world and the king.

But then I suddenly realized that in the eyes of the oppressed people, he, Wei Zheng, might be no different from those officials who were derelict in their duties.

Everyone in the Manna Palace pursed their lips and said nothing, and they had their own guesses about what they were going to watch next.

[When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom.

The incense formation soaring to the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.

We are all familiar with this poem. What is its title? Fu Di Hou Fu Ju.

Failure to pass means failure. When Huang Chao was young, he went to Chang'an, hoping to join the ranks of the nobles of the late Tang Dynasty. This was the result of his anger after failing the imperial examination.

Huang Chao was a private salt dealer, but to be honest, this status was not even considered in Jingzhao Mansion. The noble families gathered near Jingzhao Mansion praised each other and formed a strong circle.

This is an invisible curtain wall. If it was made of transparent tempered glass before the Anshi Rebellion, in the late Tang Dynasty it was basically reinforced with titanium alloy.

Huang Chao, who came here with the idea of ​​collaborating with the nobles of the late Tang Dynasty, was mercilessly slapped in the face, so before leaving, he wrote a poem and said harsh words:

I will come back!

The nobles in Chang'an all regarded this poem as a joke, but they did not expect that only ten years later, Huang Chao kept his word, and it would be his turn to treat the Manchu ministers as a joke.

The reason why Huang Chao was so resentful was inseparable from the extremely dark officialdom at that time. To give a few examples.

During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, there was a plague of locusts in autumn one year. From east to west, the ground was covered with bare ground. Yang Zhizhi, who was then in charge of Jing Zhaoyin, wrote this:

When locusts enter the capital, they will not eat the crops, and they will all cling to thorns and die.

Any normal person would spit out this memorial, but all the prime ministers congratulated it.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Cui Xing entered the officialdom as a Jinshi and later served as the observer of Shaanxi. At that time, there was a drought in Shaanxi and the people came to complain.

Cui Xing pointed to the trees in the yard and said the leaves are still here, why is there such a drought? Then the people were beaten with sticks.

Later, Cui Ying had a grudge with Jiedushi and was expelled. Due to drought, he was very thirsty, so he went to people's homes to ask for water.

The people were kind-hearted and said, Drink it by drowning, and drowning means urine.

Diabetes in ancient times was a disease of wealth, and the common people probably did not allow Cui Observer to taste the benefits.

It was even more interesting during the reign of Yizong. Qiu Fu's uprising caused chaos in the southeast. Yizong listened to the recommendation of his ministers and summoned Wang Shi to ask what to do.

Wang Shi's answer is simple: Give me soldiers and I will defeat the thieves.

The eunuchs around Yizong disagreed: it cost too much to send troops.

Wang Shi did not dare to neglect, and gave a long speech on the importance and necessity of quickly defeating the enemy, and persuaded Yizong.

But Yizong was persuaded in vain. The emperor looked at the eunuch and said, It would be better to send troops to Wang Shi.

The eunuch then agreed.

After Yizong, Xizong ascended the throne, the most versatile emperor in the Tang Dynasty.

He is good at horse racing, archery, sword dancing, goose gambling, listening to music, Cuju, cockfighting, running dogs, and is especially good at polo.

Emperor Xizong once proudly said to the actor Shi Yezhu: If there is a polo subject in the imperial examination, I will be ranked first in high school!

Shi Yezhu was also a wonderful person, and replied: If Yao and Shun were to be the examiners, I'm afraid your majesty would be exiled.

While Xizong was happily dreaming of his polo champion dream, Huang Chao had already passed the crisis after the uprising and was heading towards Chang'an. 】

In comparison, Li Shimin's reaction was calmer than expected by the ministers.

On the one hand, it was because Queen Changsun was here and held Li Shimin's palm tightly with both hands, preventing him from having an attack.

On the other hand, it was because he had expected it. After all, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were not far away for Li Shimin. He knew how Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan died better than later generations.

At the end of the dynasty, Li Shimin himself had a clean family, and from top to bottom he was basically as Guang Mu said: colluding with others.

And besides, he, Li Shimin, couldn't even control Li Longji, let alone the countless generations of descendants behind him who were locked up by the gentry clan.

But even so, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable even without saying anything:

Isn't this minister, the emperor, a three-year-old child?

Li Shimin didn't believe a word of this nonsense about locusts clinging to thorns and dying because of the power of the Holy Spirit. After all, he had swallowed it with his own mouth.

In comparison, he believed that the aristocratic families would commit suicide by embracing the difficulties.

Well, the prerequisite is that Li Shimin is holding a long knife and watching behind his back.

Besides, this Wuzong left his name in the world for destroying Buddhas. I don’t know whether he is a foolish king or a wise king, but at least he is definitely not a fool.

And continue to look back.

This Cui Xun is incompetent in his position and deserves to be humiliated by the people.

Wei Zheng cursed straight away, still not relieved, and said:

Comparable to Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling disagreed with this:

Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty was born with a flaw, and his foolish words are still understandable.

Such as Cui Xun, who grew up in a noble family of the first class, passed the imperial examination and did not know about the drought, is extremely unwise, and is a mediocre official!

Li Shi 𪟝 said carefully: That person was expelled by Jiedushi because of his incompetence!

Du Ruhui looked at it playfully. Aren't these three colleagues the ones who were just pointed out by the light screen for disobeying their superiors and forcing girls with a Shandong surname?

But then Du Ruhui remembered that he was not among them perhaps because of his early death and because his son was involved in rebellion...

Then Du Ruhui's mood became heavy for a while.

As for the latter two, Li Shimin briefly commented:

Is this Yizong... the eunuchs and the surnames jointly rule the world of Li and Tang?

This Xizong... I only knew that he abandoned Chang'an and fled to Chengdu.

“I didn’t know he was so versatile!”

Compared to him, Liu Adou is considered a sage!

Although he had expected it, even though he told himself that it all happened for a reason, in the end Li Shimin felt his temples twitching again.

I almost had a headache again!

…

Liu Bei sneezed hard. He looked at the sky and felt that it wasn't cold today. strangeness.

Thinking in his heart, Liu Bei also commented on Tang Xizong:

Chengdu is very closed-off. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty comes here, I am afraid that what he has learned will be useless.

At this time, Liu Bei also thought of Liu Chan:

A Dou's ability to prevent Chengdu from being destroyed is all thanks to Kong Ming's teachings.

Adou inherits the Lord's benevolent nature, and it is not the merit of the minister. Kong Ming declined, not daring to take credit.

For example, Adou only trusted the eunuch named Huang Hao.

But Yizong of the Tang Dynasty simply followed the eunuchs' lead.

And thinking about Wanyan Gou, who was frequently named in later generations, if he could be exchanged with Adou according to the method of time travel mentioned by the light curtain.

Maybe General Yue Fei will smile, and Zhuge Liang...

OK! Kong Ming shook his head, that was too scary.

Pang Tong carefully read Huang Chao's Chrysanthemum Fu twice and was slightly impressed:

The prosperous Tang Dynasty had quite a skill in martial arts, even with such a rebellion...

After careful consideration, Pang Tong changed his words:

Even for such an uprising leader, he still has outstanding literary talent. Although his rhetoric is not very gorgeous, the artistic conception is as majestic as a mountain.

Mi Zhu has her own understanding of this:

Mostly because the price of paper was low at that time, it was much easier for a poor family to read scriptures than it was for me at this time.

And after the popularity of writing papers has become more and more popular, even if there is no imperial examination, most of them will go through the ceremony of writing papers when visiting each other.

In this way, the whole trend of the Tang Dynasty naturally favored literature, using running scrolls instead of famous poems. Whenever reading, everyone wrote poems.

Everyone nodded together, feeling that what Mi Zhu said made sense and would probably become reality.

While admiring him, Liu Bei patted his third brother on the shoulder and said:

Yide still needs to work hard.

Zhang Fei's face was full of questions and he looked at his brother in confusion.

Liu Bei smiled and said simply:

If Yide can really restore the Western Region of the Han Dynasty and drive out the barbarians.

Could he come back to Lima Leming again?

Zhang Fei fell into deep thought. Although Ma Leming is very handsome, it seems that Huang Chao's Hundred Flowers Killing is even more powerful after the flowers bloom.

[Huang Chao's revolt can be said to be following the trend, because at this time, the Tang Dynasty had indeed reached the point where it should be buried.

In this year, the eunuchs had exclusive power and the officials were corrupt; in this year, the feudal vassals and towns were separated and the war was unfavorable; in this year, the people were levied and expropriated, and the people were in dire straits.

Wang Xianzhi took the lead in the uprising, and the following year Huang Chao gathered thousands of people to respond.

The followers of the common people who had been tormented by the nobles and nobles of the Tang Dynasty for decades gathered together, and the two quickly grew to tens of thousands of people.

The Tang court first suppressed the rebellion, but because Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao were very capable of running away from each other, as well as the imperial court's insufficient funding, and the Jiedushi himself felt that there was no gain in attacking the peasants, the suppression of the rebellion did not go smoothly.

Since we can't defeat him, let's recruit him. Tang Xizong sent someone to send a message to Wang Xianzhi. As long as he obeys, we can join in the trouble!

Wang Xianzhi moved, but Huang Chao objected. The two even had a fight, and eventually parted ways, no longer communicating with each other.

The result of the two's inability to work together was that Wang Xianzhi was defeated and killed. Huang Chao became the only leader of the rebel army and was promoted to the title of a soaring general.

It has to be said that Huang Chao is quite smart. Faced with the encirclement and suppression by various Jiedushi, he ran away and went south, and finally captured Guangzhou. He planned to develop steadily here and look for opportunities to impress Tang Ting.

But at that time, the development of the south was still not very good. The acclimatization and soil conditions were not suitable and epidemics broke out. After tens of thousands of people died, the rebel soldiers became interested.

In the end, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Huang Chao announced the Northern Expedition, shouted the slogan Kill corrupt officials, and led the troops northward.

The subsequent Huang Chao army did not go well either. They defeated Yongzhou, Hengzhou, Tanzhou, Jiangling and other places. However, they were defeated in Jingmen. They still relied on false surrender and bribed Jiedushi with large sums of money to escape and fled to Jiangxi.

The following year, Huang Chao was defeated again in Jiangxi, so he pretended to surrender again and bribed Jiedushi with a large amount of money again, so that he was able to escape and fled to Zhejiang again.

After Zhejiang, Huang Chao successfully entered the second stage of his life. He fought consecutive battles and killed all directions. Only half a year later, he successively captured Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan and other places. 】

Everyone saw that the red color representing Huang Chao on the light screen was about to disappear, but in a very short period of time, it became extremely powerful like a prairie fire.

And this piece of red is like an eye-catching arrow, pointing directly to Chang'an!

6K, generally if it is not enough the day before, it will be made up the next day, and I will try my best to get more in the evening.
