Introduction: a murderous poem
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they have bloomed.
The incense formation soaring into the sky penetrated Chang'an, and the whole city was covered with golden armor.
In the spring of Chang'an, there was heavy snowfall. A burly middle-aged man was pacing back and forth in the hotel room, feeling irritated and depressed because he failed the exam again. Looking at the white land outside the window, he had mixed feelings for a while, and he was very inspired by poetry.
, he picked up his pen and wrote the above poem on the wall. The next day, the failed student left with infinite anger towards the Tang Dynasty.
However, such a murderous poem did not attract much attention at the time. At most, it was regarded as the arrogant words of a failed student. If Huang Chao met Qianlong, the leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty more than a thousand years later, he would probably
His family should have been confiscated and his clan exterminated long ago, so it would be his turn to dominate later.
But this poem had a great influence on later generations. Why do you say this? A few years later, the author of this poem realized his wish in the poem, and became the master of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.
It severely stepped on the declining Tang Dynasty. From then on, a once-powerful dynasty never recovered and inevitably headed for destruction.
More than three hundred years later, a person wrote this poem in Xunyang Tower:
My heart is in Shandong, my body is in Wu, and the rivers and seas are fluttering.
How dare he laugh at Huang Chao for not being her husband!
Now everyone knows that the author of the former poem is the famous Huang Chao, and the author of the latter poem is the famous Song Jiang. After writing this poem mocking Huang Chao, Song Jiang walked to Liangshan and began his
Rebellious life. In the end, he failed to surpass Huang Chao, who was ridiculed by him. After all, Huang Chao still served as the emperor of Qi for a few years, while Song Jiang only served as the king of the mountain for a few months.
More than six hundred years later, another person wrote such a poem:
I won't do it when the flowers are blooming. If I do, I'll be scared to death.
If he wants to fight the west wind, he will wear golden armor all over his body.
After the author finished writing this poem in tribute to Huang Chao, he commanded his millions of troops to conquer the east and west, south and north, and finally went straight to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, establishing a new great empire.
A unified dynasty - the Ming Dynasty. The author of this limerick is Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty who can be compared with Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Tang Zong. As for the Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of Song Dynasty, let alone mention it, it is an order from beginning to end.
The Pian'an Dynasty was despised, shameless and humiliating. The Song Dynasty had been weak for three hundred years, but the most admired and famous person was not the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but the national hero Yue Fei who was killed by the coward Zhao Gou.
More than a thousand years later, there was another movie called "A City Full of Golden Armor", which once became popular all over China.
At this point, everyone must know that the person who wrote this poem is Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty. Huang Chao was from Caozhou. He was born in a salt merchant family. He was good at riding and shooting, and was proficient in pen and ink. He had few poetic talents. Huang Chao wrote this poem when he was five years old.
A poem that was included in primary school textbooks thousands of years later:
The rustling west wind fills the courtyard with plants, and the flowers are cold and fragrant, and butterflies are hard to come by.
If I become the Qing Emperor in his future years, I will be rewarded with peach blossoms.
Although his family was wealthy and talented, he had few relatives and friends in the huge imperial capital of Chang'an, let alone any dignitaries to support and recommend him. Although he took the exam many times, he failed all the time. So Huang Chao wrote this with resentment.
After writing the poem "Ode to Ju after Not Diving", he angrily left Chang'an. After that, he stopped taking part in the scientific examination, inherited his ancestral business and became the leader of the salt gang, that is, the leader of private salt dealers.
In 874 AD, the first year of Qianfu in the Tang Dynasty, floods and droughts occurred in various places, causing people to die. Wang Xianzhi, a private salt dealer, took the opportunity to gather thousands of people and rose up, claiming to be the "General Tianbu Jun" and known as the Grass Army. He spread the word and rebuked the Tang Dynasty.
The corruption of officials, heavy taxes and other crimes shocked the world, and there were many followers. The next year, Huang Chao, who was fond of chaos by nature, summoned eight people including his nephews Huang Cun, Huang Kui and nephew Lin Yan to gather thousands of people to respond to Wang Xianzhi and join the Cao Army.
As a result, the Cao army became increasingly powerful. People from all directions, suffering from harsh taxation and expropriation, rushed to defect. Soon the Cao army had tens of thousands of troops and repeatedly defeated the official army.
In 877 AD, Wang Xianzhi was killed, and Huang Chao was elected by the generals as the Yellow King, known as the "Great General Soaring to the Sky". After several years of bloody battles, finally in 880 AD, hundreds of thousands of soldiers tied their hair in red silk, wore brocade robes, and carried
Armed with weapons, they surrounded Huang Chao and entered Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.
On December 12, the first year of Guangming in the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao entered Taiqing Palace. The next day, he became the emperor in Hanyuan Palace.
In the title, the country was named "Daqi", established the Yuan Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, granted amnesty to the world, and massacred all officials of the Tang Dynasty clan.
However, the good times did not last long. In September of the second year of Zhonghe (882), Huang Chao's general Zhu Wen rebelled and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Zhonghe (883), Li Keyong of the Shatuo tribe led his troops to attack the capital together with soldiers from various towns in the Tang Dynasty.
.Huang Chao met at Wei Bridge and lost the battle. Li Keyong invaded Chang'an, but Huang Chao was unable to win and evacuated Chang'an overnight. Huang Chao threatened to rush to Xuzhou, but entered Shangshan via Lantian Pass. During the retreat, he abandoned his treasures on the road.
The officers and soldiers scrambled to pick up property on the road and stopped pursuing. Huang Chao was able to organize his army and leave.
Huang Chao sent a strong general with ten thousand people to attack Caizhou. Qin Zongquan, the governor of Caizhou in the Tang Dynasty, was defeated in the battle and then surrendered to Huang Chao. Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan then joined forces to attack Chenzhou and besieged it for hundreds of days, but failed to conquer it. Reinforcements from all directions of the Tang Dynasty arrived.
, Huang Chao was forced to withdraw his troops from Chenzhou. Huang Chao lost the battle and rushed eastward to Yanzhou. On June 15, Huang Chao and his nephew Lin Yan fled to Xiangwang Village in the Langhu Valley of Mount Tai. Seeing that the situation was over, Lin Yan took the opportunity to kill Huang Chao and his brothers.
His wife, Lin Yan, took the heads of Huang Chao and others and wanted to offer his services to the court, but was met by the Shatuo Army. They killed Lin Yan, which was regarded as revenge for Huang Chao. They presented the heads of Lin Yan, Huang Chao and others to the Tang court.
.Although Huang Chao died, the world fell into pieces. The Tang Dynasty survived for more than 20 years and was finally destroyed by Zhu Wen who betrayed Huang Chao.
After Huang Chao's death, Caizhou Jiedushi made Qin Zongquan extremely ambitious. He used Caizhou as his home base and gathered Huang Chao's old troops. He sent out his troops in all directions and invaded the surrounding cities. Tianping Jiedushi made Zhu Xuan and his younger brother Zhu Jin join forces to declare war.
The governor Zhu Wen defeated Qin Zongquan in Hexiang.
Qin Zongquan was a cruel man. Wherever his army passed, the people were either killed or scattered, so there was an extremely shortage of military rations. Qin Zongquan ordered his subordinates to kill all the local people and pickle the corpses with salt to use as military rations. At this moment, Zhu Wen was
Defeated, most of the troops were lost at one time. So Qin Zong ordered his subordinates to make a decisive victory, such as Sun Ru, the commander of the decisive battle, and Liu Jianfeng, the military commander of Longxiang Jiedu, who went around to plunder the people and replenish their troops.
Liu Jianfeng then led hundreds of soldiers to Gangshan in Shangcai, plundered thousands of people from the surrounding villages, regardless of men, women, old and young, and headed south to Caizhou. The people had already heard of Qin Zongquan's bad reputation, and they knew what he was doing.
