[Inventory of the top ten anti-kings in history and the third place]

[The soaring general Huang Chao! 】

Huang Chao's name just appeared on the historical plane of the heavens, and it immediately caused a great response.

Just looking at the tens of thousands of comments on the light and shadow projection screen every minute, one can tell that Huang Chao has a great influence.

Of course, before the end of the Tang Dynasty, people on the plane basically didn't know much about Huang Chao.

They were only shocked by the soaring murderousness revealed in the opening poem, and the rebelliousness and lawlessness revealed in the name of General Soaring to the Sky.

Hou Jing: "I'll go. As soon as the nickname of the Soaring General comes out, I, the General of the Universe, is obviously a bit too swaying!"

Li Shimin, Li Longji and others frowned when they saw Huang Chao's name.

They seem to have seen in the previous comments that it was the soaring general who knocked down dozens of coffin nails for the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao, who had just broken through Tongguan and was advancing towards Chang'an City, saw his name appear in the anti-king sequence, and felt a chill in his heart.

Saying in disbelief,

"Could it be that my old Huang failed to secure the world in the end? How is this possible? My old Huang has a cloud of fierce generals and a rain of counselors. How could he fail? I want to open my eyes wide and see how I failed? !"

[From the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, the Tang Dynasty was flourishing, and once reached the peak of prosperity of all nations.

During the Tianbao period, An Lushan launched a rebellion, which pushed the Tang Dynasty into the abyss all the way down.

Although Tang Suzong quelled the Anshi Rebellion, the borrowed Huihe soldiers massacred in Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei, and lost the hearts of the people all over the world.

Then there was the separatist rule of the feudal town that lasted for more than 100 years.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty only relied on a righteous name to act as the co-lord of the world.Because of the loss of trust in the generals, starting with Emperor Suzong, every emperor of the Tang Dynasty trusted the eunuchs, so that the power of the eunuchs reached the highest in all Chinese dynasties.The emperor can be abolished at will. 】

[From Suzong's later years, almost every emperor of the Tang Dynasty was subject to eunuchs.The two most accomplished emperors in the later period, Tang Xianzong and Tang Xuanzong, both died at the hands of eunuchs. 】

[There are treacherous eunuchs in the court, and there are feudal towns in the local area. The people of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be living in hell.Small-scale rebellions sprung up everywhere.

The discipline of the officers and soldiers was corrupt, and wherever they went, they killed the good and pretended to be meritorious.

The people who escaped by chance were full of hatred for the court and officials at all levels.

The cultural trend of the entire Tang Dynasty gradually turned towards barbarism.

During the period of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, disasters continued everywhere.Some places suffered from drought.Some places were flooded.The people were displaced, and the officials not only did not provide relief, but instead squeezed more and more urgently.

Under such circumstances, an uprising that destroyed the Tang Dynasty finally broke out.The original leader of the rebel army was not Huang Chao, but Wang Xianzhi, another private salt dealer.After Wang Xianzhi died in battle, Huang Chao took over the flag of the rebel army and pushed the uprising to its climax. 】

[Huang Chao, from Caozhou, Shandong.The family has been selling private salt for generations and is very rich.He is good at swordsmanship, horsemanship and arrow skills, he is proficient in pen and ink, and he was talented in poetry when he was young.When I served my grandfather at the age of five, I was able to write poems.

When Huang Chao became an adult, he took part in the imperial examination and failed repeatedly.

There is also a saying: Huang Chao was admitted to Jinshi once, but during the interview, Tang Xizong thought Huang Chao was too ugly, so he crossed out his name.

Huang Chao then rejected the imperial examination, inherited the family business, and became the leader of the salt gang who smuggled salt. 】

[In 875, Wang Xianzhi raised troops, and Huang Chao was already 55 years old.When Wang Xianzhi led his army to Caozhou, Huang Chao joined Wang Xianzhi's army and became an important general under Wang Xianzhi's command.

At that time, there was a prophecy spread all over the world, "The golden toad is fighting for eyes, but Caozhou is turned against the world!"

Therefore, when Wang Xianzhi led the army to break through Caozhou, it aroused the fear of officials all over the world, and also aroused the expectations of many careerists. 】

[Facing the encirclement and suppression by the government and the army, the rebel generals who came from private salt dealers decisively adopted the strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false, and fought guerrilla warfare among the provinces of Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Jianghuai.

From south to north, from east to west, the feudal clans were exhausted from defending themselves, unable to annihilate them. 】

[In 877 AD, Wang Xianzhi died in battle.Huang Chao took over Wang Xianzhi's banner and called himself "General Soaring to the Sky". Because he couldn't beat Gao Pian, the governor of the Jianghuai River, Huang Chao had no choice but to cross the south of the Yangtze River. After fighting for thousands of miles in the Jinghu area, he led his army to Lingnan , Captured Guangzhou, the only important town in south of the Five Ridges. 】

[Huang Chao originally wanted to be in Anlingnan, and act as a vassal.However, most of the rebels are from the north and are not used to the climate of Lingnan. In 879, the epidemic was prevalent, and three out of ten rebels died.

Huang Chao had no choice but to lead the rebel army back north. In 879, Huang Chao fell into Guilin.It coincided with the soaring water of the Xiangjiang River.Tens of thousands of rebels sailed down the river on big bamboo rafts, captured Changsha Mansion in one go, and beheaded the Taining Army Jiedushi. 】

[Huang Chao led an army from Changsha to the north, and when they attacked Xiangyang, they were ambushed, and most of the soldiers lost.General Liu Jurong, who was in charge of suppressing Huang Chao, raised his self-respect and gave Huang Chao a chance to make a comeback.

Huang Chao soon led thousands of people to break through Ezhou, and then moved to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, again with a crowd of 20. 】

[Afterwards, Huang Chao suffered heavy losses under Gao Pian's attack.He asked Gao Pian to surrender, and used a strategy of delaying the army.Gao Pian wanted to take the lead in destroying Huang Chao alone, so he dismissed the soldiers and horses of all towns.

Huang Chao attacked Jianghuai again after the soldiers and horses of the towns dispersed.Gao Pian, who is weak and weak, can only defend Yangzhou.

In March 880, Huang Chao led an army of tens of thousands across the river to the north, and the road was like a broken bamboo.It fell into Xuzhou in May, went to Ruzhou in July, went to Liangzhou in September, and went to Luoyang in November.In December, soldiers captured Chang'an City without bloodshed.The founding name was Daqi, and the reign name was Jintong.

Tang Xizong fled to Shuzhong under the escort of Shence Army. 】

[In the first month of 881 A.D., Tang Xizong ordered soldiers from all over the world to encircle and suppress the "grass thieves".In April, soldiers and horses from various towns recovered Chang'an City.

When Huang Chao retreated to Bashang, he killed a carbine, defeated 10,000+ Tang troops, and then took Chang'an City.

After breaking through Chang'an City, Huang Chao carried out a bloody "washing of the city."]

[Huang Chao has been in Chang'an for more than two years, only using violence in his administration, not knowing how to appease people's hearts, and greatly disappointing the expectations of the world. 】

[In September of 882 A.D., General Zhu Wen descended to Tang Dynasty and fought back against Huang Chao. 】

【A.D. 883, Li Keyong from Shatuo led [-] elite soldiers from the Han Dynasty to attack.Li Cunxiao led eighteen cavalry raids and captured Chang'an City in one fell swoop.When Huang Chao led tens of thousands of troops back east to Henan, he joined forces with Qin Zongquan and besieged the important town of Chenzhou.

Because of lack of food, Huang Chao's army feeds on human flesh.The common people near Chenzhou ate up all they had, so they plundered everywhere.In one year, at least hundreds of thousands of people were eaten. 】

[In May 884, Li Keyong led his army to Chenzhou.Huang Chaojun collapsed.Huang Chao led thousands of people to cross the Yellow River north and retreat into Mount Tai.On June [-]th, he was killed by his nephew Lin Yan in the Wolf and Tiger Valley of Mount Tai. 】
