Some people may not be outstanding in martial arts or top-notch in intelligence, but they are destined to become the source of cholera in the world. Huang Chao is such a person!
The Yellow Turban Army has gone through many detours in the original history, but in this life, with Huang Chao, the rebel king with an intelligence of 95, as its military advisor, the Yellow Turban Army will naturally not take the detours it has taken before and continue to make the same mistakes.
The Yellow Turban Uprising made two biggest mistakes in original history. First, it offended the world's famous families, and second, it was a bandit strategy.
There are two points to say, but in fact there is only one point, that is, the Yellow Turban Army has offended aristocratic families all over the world, so they have to adopt bandit tactics.
Why did the Yellow Turban Army offend the famous families in the world?
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu promised to share the world with the aristocratic families in the world, thus gaining the support of the aristocratic families to reestablish the Han Dynasty. However, this also resulted in the current situation where the aristocratic families are unable to get rid of the tail.
The total number of wealthy aristocratic families is less than one percent of the total number of Han people, but they occupy 95% of the world's wealth, and they still use various legal or illegal means to invade people's land.
If the people can no longer survive, they will naturally stand up and resist.
Almost all of the Yellow Turban Army are poor people, so it is not difficult to imagine what the Yellow Turban Army's attitude towards wealthy families is.
In the original history, the Yellow Turban Army did not distinguish between good and bad families, and directly massacred them on sight, so they were naturally boycotted by all the families.
This directly caused that whenever the Yellow Turbans attacked the city, the aristocratic families in the city would unite to help the Han army defend the city.
Moreover, the support of the aristocratic family is very strong. They want money for money, food for food, and materials for materials. If they still can't hold on, they will even send private soldiers to help defend the city.
It's impossible not to help. Once the city is destroyed, the family will be destroyed. All the clan members will be killed, and the family fortune will be cheaper. The Yellow Turban Thief is unacceptable to all the aristocratic families, so naturally they will resist one after another.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not Zhang Jiao's rebellion against the Han Dynasty, but rather the poor people's rebellion against the rich.
This is a war between the poor and the rich triggered by the long-standing class contradictions within the Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turbans represent the poor class, while the Han Dynasty represents the aristocratic class.
What do the poor people have? They have nothing but themselves.
But wealthy families control power, material wealth and knowledge, so the competition between poor people and wealthy families has always been unfair.
The power of the aristocratic families during the Eastern Han Dynasty far exceeded that of other dynasties. Even the Han Dynasty did not dare to touch it lightly, let alone Zhang Jiao?
Therefore, from the moment it stood on the opposite side of the world's aristocratic families, the Yellow Turban Uprising was doomed to fail.
After the Han Dynasty had aristocratic families to help defend the city, the defensive power immediately increased greatly, while the advancement speed of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly reduced, until finally the successors were weak and stagnated.
Failure to capture the city means that the team cannot continue to grow in strength.
At this time, the Han Dynasty had reacted. When faced with the crisis of national subjugation, the power it unleashed was extremely astonishing. If the Yellow Turbans wanted to resist, they had to change their strategies and use popular bandit strategies to strengthen themselves. Otherwise, they would only be wiped out.<
/p>
But this life is different. With a wise man like Huang Chao here, he will naturally not watch the Yellow Turban Army jump into the pit.
Huang Chao first stated to Zhang Jiao the disadvantages of offending the world's aristocratic families and the disadvantages to future development in front of all Qu Shuai.
Huang Chao originally thought that if he explained the truth, everyone would agree with him, but he did not expect to be opposed by all Qu Shuai except Zhang Jiao, including Hong Xiuquan and Fang La.
Only then did Huang Chao realize how resentful the Yellow Turbans, or the common people, were towards the aristocratic family.
Although Huang Chao also belongs to a poor family, the family is not unable to uncover the blame, so he did not understand this resentment deeply at first, but it is not too late to understand it now.
This kind of resentment was not formed in a day or two, but accumulated over 200 years. It is almost impossible to resolve. Even if I and others do not take action, there will definitely be people who will stand up against the Han in the future. This is what the Han should do.
Although all Qu Shuai disagreed, Huang Chao did not give up, but changed his approach to persuade from another angle.
Huang Chao said this, the Han Dynasty and the aristocratic family are like two big mountains. If the Yellow Turban wants to completely remove them, it will definitely consume a lot of energy and time. If the two mountains are moved together, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gains outweigh the losses.
It will be much easier if you move them one by one.
The Han Dynasty and the Aristocratic Family are like these two mountains. After destroying the Han Dynasty, we can turn our guns against the Aristocratic Family without too late!
It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to deal with the two together, so why not use a time-saving and labor-saving method?
Huang Chao's concise metaphor made all the commanders fall silent. In the end, Zhang Jiao decided to change the original policy of the Yellow Turban Army, no longer targeting the aristocratic families in the world, but targeting the small aristocratic families that were causing trouble.
Zhang Jiao didn't know that his decision saved the Yellow Turban Army, which was doomed to fail. If the Yellow Turban Army still stands on the opposite side of the world's aristocratic families, even with the help of Xiang Yu and other summoned figures, it is destined to fail. After all, no matter how strong an individual is, he cannot fight against the general trend.
.
The Yellow Turban Army has changed its attitude towards the world's aristocratic family, and since the world's aristocratic family saw that the Yellow Turban Army did not provoke them, they would naturally not bring trouble to themselves and proactively provoke the Yellow Turban Army.
They don't care about the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. They only care about the rise and fall of their own family. Besides, there is nothing wrong with the change of dynasty. It might be an opportunity for their own family to grow!
Of course, there are still people who care about those notorious little aristocratic families. When these aristocratic families saw that the untouchables in ordinary times dared to stand up and rebel, and attacked themselves just because of a trivial matter, they were immediately horrified, so
Fully assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city.
After all, the power of the small aristocratic family is limited, and it cannot play a big role at all. However, to the garrisoned officers and soldiers, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, which is better than nothing!
Under the influence of Huang Chao, the Yellow Turban Army in this generation was not attacked by the joint snipers of the world's famous families. Before the Han Dynasty reacted, the attack on the city was naturally very smooth. With a base area that continued to supply blood, the Yellow Turban Army naturally did not need to compete with the original history.
Follow the bandit's strategy the same way!
What is rogue strategy?
Even if they ignore production and farming, they do not take occupying territory as their main purpose. After capturing the city, they mainly use looting to quickly increase the strength of the rebel army in a short period of time.
The rogue strategy has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can indeed strengthen the strength of the rebel army in a short period of time, thus giving it a better chance of winning when faced with encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to control. It is easy to say at first, but after tasting the benefits, the rebels will no longer care about etiquette and morality. By then, the rebels will become a rebel army, and their reputation will be completely ruined.
And it will bring great damage to society.
Huang Chao's own path of rebellion followed the bandit strategy. No, it was more thorough than the bandit strategy. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the locust route.
Of course, the reason why Huang Chao did this was because he had no choice. If he had a choice, with Huang Chao's 95 points of intelligence, he would never choose the popular bandit strategy.
Huang Chao does not have as good a foundation for rebellion as Zhang Jiao. The rebel army is not only outnumbered, but also in a passive state. Under such a situation where the strength of the enemy and ourselves is too disparate, if the strategy of rogue bandits is not adopted, the only thing waiting for Huang Chao is
Destroyed along the way.
In history, Huang Chao brought rogue warfare and mobile warfare to the extreme. In the high-intensity continuous battles, the team not only did not reduce its personnel, but also fought more and more. After the rebels broke through a city, they immediately seized food and destroyed the city, and the people lost their homes and food.
In the end, other than joining the rebels, there was no other option but to starve to death.
Whenever the rebels ran out of food and grass, Huang Chao would directly supplement their food supply with human flesh. Therefore, wherever Huang Chao's army went, they were almost exhausted, and the local people were not killed, but eaten. p>
The reputation of Demon King Huang Chao also comes from this. With this cruel method, Huang Chao broke the Tang army's blockade time and time again, and brought huge losses to the Tang army. In the end, he brought down the Tang Dynasty and ruined the greatest empire in Chinese history.
Dynasty.
It is precisely because Huang Chao's reputation is so notorious that he understands how important a good reputation is. Conquering the world is not something that happens overnight. Without a good reputation to attract heroes from all over to actively invest, it is almost impossible to achieve success. p>
As long as the bandit strategy is followed, the reputation of the rebel army will be completely ruined sooner or later. This is almost impossible to change.
At that time, not only will no talented people defect, but even the common people will not take the initiative to join the rebel army, and the team will no longer receive regular troop reinforcements. This will be a fatal blow to any rebel army.
But why did the Yellow Turban Army adopt bandit policies in history?
Regardless of the scale of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in original history, it was indeed very large. At the beginning, there were more than one million rebels, and later it spread to tens of millions of people. After the Han Dynasty experienced this riot, the population directly increased from 50 million.
The number dropped to more than 30 million, and more than 10 million people died in this incident, which shows how much damage the Yellow Turban Uprising caused.
However, although the damage was great, the Yellow Turban Army did not actually capture much territory. The obstruction of the aristocratic families caused great difficulties to the Yellow Turban Army's siege. In fact, the actual occupied territory was not even a state, and there was a gap between the territories.
It can't even be connected, it's just a piece of enclave, and it's possible to be recaptured by the Han Dynasty at any time.
That's why the Yellow Turban Army followed the bandit strategy, because instead of being wiped out one by one by the Han Dynasty, it would be better to practice bandit warfare and take the initiative to attack, which might still have a chance of survival.
In the face of life and death, reputation is somewhat insignificant. After all, if you can't even save your life, what's the use of fame?
Huang Chao's suggestion gave the Golden Rebellion, which was destined to fail, a slight chance of success. He only killed small aristocratic families who did evil. Although he offended the aristocratic family, he did not offend the family to death, and he would not stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic families in the world.<
/p>
As for the Yellow Turban Army, which had no aristocratic family to block it, its offensive was almost smooth sailing. After capturing the city, the Yellow Turban Army immediately punished the evildoers, released grain and recruited troops. After leaving part of the garrison force, the main Yellow Turban army immediately continued to attack other cities.
Although doing so will cause the dispersion of troops and affect combat effectiveness as the territory expands, it can ensure the stability of rule, continuously provide blood to the Yellow Turban Army, and enhance sustained combat capabilities.
Of course, in addition to the above, Huang Chao also formulated a strategy for Zhang Jiao to unify the world: the three-step strategy of the Yellow Turban Heavenly Kingdom.
The first step is to concentrate on capturing Yuzhou.
Due to the uneven distribution of the power of the Taiping Religion in various places, the strength of some places is actually not enough to deal with the local officers and soldiers, so Huang Chao suggested to Zhang Jiao that the relatively weak ones among the 36th Route Rebel Army should be transferred away from the local area first and concentrate their forces first.
Capture important and captureable territory.
Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand.
Since the Taiping Sect has the greatest influence in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is the richest and most populous state in the Han Dynasty, it has become Huang Chao's first target.
After Zhang Jiao saw Huang Chao's plan, he thought it was very feasible, so he directly transferred 12 of the 36 canal commanders to carry out the event in Yuzhou, and also sent Xiang Yan there to ensure nothing went wrong.
The second step is to occupy the Central Plains as the main area, Hebei as the supplement, and Jingyang as the second. The Central Plains is the three states of Yan, Henan, and Xu, and Hebei is the four states of Hebei, Qingyou, and Qingyou.
Although the Central Plains is easy to attack and difficult to defend, because it is located in the hinterland, the defenders are small, wealthy and have a large population. If we can capture the entire Central Plains, we can gain millions of troops.
The terrain in Hebei is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, but if you take full control of it, you will be in an invincible position.
Our Taiping Sect has the weakest power in Jingyang, so we can postpone the attack on the two states without wasting too much force. We only need a partial force to take what we can and let go if we can't.
As for the third step of Huang Chao's plan, it is much simpler and cruder. Based on the realization of the second step, he will combine the Yellow Turban's millions of soldiers to directly crush Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and destroy the Han Dynasty in one battle.
