Chapter 55 Huang Chao Uprising
  [Ninth place, Huang Chao.

Huang Chao was born into a relatively wealthy family, and his family has made a living selling illegal salt for generations.

He is also very smart and capable. When he was five years old, he could already compete with his grandfather in poetry. In addition, he was also very proficient in swordsmanship and horseback riding. Therefore, his family also had high hopes for him, hoping that he could pass the imperial examination and become an official in the court to add wealth to the family. honor.

Huang Chao also had expectations of becoming an official, but unfortunately, he had the dream of becoming an official, but he did not have the destiny to become an official.

Huang Chao took part in many imperial examinations but failed. In desperation, he wrote a poem "Fu Ju" full of resentment and left Chang'an. He also returned to his hometown to inherit his ancestral business and became the leader of the Salt Gang.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the contradiction between the government and the people intensified. Huang Chao took the opportunity to rise up and quickly organized a massive peasant army. This peasant army soon spread across the Tang Dynasty. It not only accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty, but also promoted the history of the Tang Dynasty. process development. 】

[Tenth place, Yuan Shikai. 】

"Huang Chao was not only a gravedigger in the Tang Dynasty, but also cut off the roots of aristocratic families. From his beginning until the Song Dynasty, warriors killed scholars with the same scruples as killing chickens."

"The significance of Huang Chao is that he destroyed the noble clans, which is the progress of the times"

"When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, after my flowers have bloomed, hundreds of flowers will be killed. The fragrance will reach the sky and penetrate Chang'an, and the city will be filled with golden armor."

"Huang Chao's contribution was to slaughter all the noble families who monopolized the upper class of society, and then the imperial examinations were used to select talents and transfer them to the poorer families and ordinary people."

"The heads of the aristocratic families beheaded by the Yellow River are rolling in, ending the monopoly pattern of the aristocratic families since the Wei and Jin Dynasties"

Datang.

Huang Chao: Those wealthy noble families deserve to die the most. If they hadn’t monopolized the imperial examination quota, how could I have failed the exam so many times?

When he thought of those aristocratic families, he hated them deeply.

If it weren't for those aristocratic families controlling the government, monopolizing official positions, and manipulating the imperial examinations, how could he have failed the exam several times in a row!
  It's not that his ability is not good. With his talent, the imperial examination will not be a problem for him at all.

But those aristocratic families interfered and monopolized the imperial examinations, and did not give ordinary people like him a chance.

How could he not resent those noble families?

When he left Chang'an after failing the exam, he wrote a song "Fu Ju" with hatred for the nobles, hoping to one day kill them all.

Now it seems that he succeeded.

He left Chang'an and returned to his hometown, and has been waiting for an opportunity to raise an army to revolt.

Now, the opportunity has come, now is the time to revolt.

There are two main reasons why we do not wait any longer and rise up now.

First, the whole world now knows his name Huang Chao.

At this moment, the imperial court was probably about to send someone to arrest him, and he had to revolt immediately in order to survive.

Another reason is that the people of the world are living in dire straits and are looking forward to someone to lead them to stand up and resist.

And Huang Chao is undoubtedly the most suitable. After all, his name Huang Chao is now well known to people all over the world.

And as long as he raises his arms, countless people who cannot survive will defect to him.

By then, his army will number in the millions.

Maybe this uprising will not repeat the same mistakes, and it is very likely to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

From the evaluations of later generations, he could see that the original uprising in history failed.

After all, later generations said that his peasant uprising army accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty and promoted the development of the historical process. The subtext of this sentence is that the uprising failed.

Otherwise, people in later generations will definitely record the information that he successfully eliminated the Tang Dynasty.

But now there is none, which means that his rebel army was finally suppressed by the Tang Dynasty.

But it doesn't matter. The Huang Chao Uprising failed in history, so it may not necessarily fail this time. Li Shimin: This Huang Chao killed all the powerful nobles?

Until now, he was still staring at the sky with a look of disbelief on his face, horrified in his heart.

He could never have imagined that the extremely powerful noble clan would one day be wiped out. It was simply appalling.

The aristocratic clan has lasted for thousands of years, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

The Li family was originally a noble family, and they knew the horrors of the noble family best.

Even now that the Li family has taken over the world and become the emperor, they are still far from being a match for the noble family.

Even he didn't dare to blatantly attack the noble family.

Because he knew very well that once the noble families united, the power would be extremely terrifying, and it would be easy to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

He was also well aware of the harm done by the noble families to the Tang Dynasty, but he did not dare to take action and could not take action.

The reason why the Sui Dynasty perished so quickly was because it offended the interests of the noble families, which made the noble families unite to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, and finally let the Li family take advantage.

The lessons learned from the Sui Dynasty were right in front of him, and he did not want Datang to follow in their footsteps.

Moreover, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the situation was still unstable.

If we attack the powerful nobles at this time, it will be tantamount to self-destruction.

Therefore, the strategy he is adopting now is to stabilize the powerful noble families first, and then slowly develop the strength of Datang.

When the Tang Dynasty became stronger than ever, he would slowly weaken the powerful noble families.

And even if the Tang Dynasty's national power reached its peak, all he could do was weaken the noble families, and it was impossible to wipe out all the noble families.

It was precisely because he knew this that he was so shocked when he learned that Huang Chao had slaughtered the noble clan.

Wu Zetian: What I never dared to think of was actually accomplished by a small salt merchant. He is worthy of being a person who will leave his name throughout the ages.

Huang Chao wiped out the powerful noble clan, which really shocked her.

When she was the queen, she began to suppress the noble families.

It was only now that he became the emperor that he completely suppressed the noble family.

But even so, she didn't dare to talk about annihilating the noble clan, and she didn't even have the idea of ​​​​wiping out the noble clan.

She knew that there were so many noble families in the world that even she couldn't resist them if they united together. Being able to suppress the noble families was already the limit, so how could she dare to massacre them?

She was deeply impressed by Huang Chao's ability to do this.

Family noble: Huang Chao, you are dead.

Seeing what Huang Chao did really frightened all the noble families in the world.

They could never imagine where Huang Chao would have the strength to destroy them.

They have gone through so many dynasties and wars without falling. How come they were wiped out by Huang Chao?

They couldn't figure it out at all, but that didn't matter anymore.

As long as Huang Chao is eliminated, the direction of history can be changed and the noble family like them can continue forever.
