[Literary Youth Huang Chao]
If you pass, you should write a poem to celebrate; if you fail, you should write a poem to express your emotions. When you are promoted or demoted, you should also express your ambitions with things; when you send friends, you should also give poems to each other; when you have nothing to do, you should also accompany tea and wine with poems.
The material base determines the superstructure. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty provided a material foundation for the development of literature.
As for the prosperity of Tang poetry, apart from the arrogance and coquettishness of the literati, there was another more important reason: poems and poems were compulsory examination questions.
The Sui Dynasty initiated the imperial examination system to select national civil servants through an open, fair and fair examination. The Tang Dynasty inherited and improved upon it.
In the early Tang Dynasty, there were the Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi and other subjects, among which the Xiucai subject had the highest level. By the time of Taizong, the Xiucai subject was almost abolished because it was too difficult.
What needs to be emphasized is that the "xiucai" here is not the same concept as the "xiucai" we often talked about in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In later generations, "xiucai" often referred to Jinshi; in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it referred to Tongsheng (students) who passed the child examination. In short, it is becoming more and more common and less and less valuable. All you need to know is that the value of "scholars" in the late Qing Dynasty is quite different from that of "scholars" in the early Tang Dynasty.
By the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, essays (i.e. poems and poems) were added to the Jinshi examination. By the time of Emperor Xuanzong, the examination of Jinshi examination had changed to focus on poems and poems. The Jinshi Department has the most noble status and is the first among all subjects. Those who get the Jinshi degree can often achieve great success. Therefore, scholars in the Tang Dynasty studied poetry painstakingly and left us "Three Hundred Tang Poems".
Therefore, the poets of the Tang Dynasty were not some arrogant literary youths who were like "the princes of thousands of households". They were secular beings who "looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. How can we be the people of Penghao?" The main purpose of studying poetry was to squeeze into the system. Inside, holding an iron rice bowl.
The poetry level of today's Chinese people is not as good as that of the ancients. The main reason is that today's exams focus on mathematics, physics, and English rather than poetry and poetry.
Looking back at Huang Chao's poems...it mainly depends on his temperament.
In any case, Huang Chao is also the person with the highest level of education and the most profound artistic accomplishment among the Cao Army. He naturally has the important task of assuming the reign title.
Huang Chao, who thought he was extremely knowledgeable and talented, lived up to his expectations and was given a resounding and highly recognizable title - Wang Ba!
The style of a king and the power of a tyrant.
From now on, the areas controlled by the Cao Army will no longer be in the "fifth year of Qianfu", but in the "first year of Wangba".
The homophone of "Wang Ba" is "Wang Ba", especially since the main force of the Grass Army is from Shandong and Henan. Try pronouncing "Wang Ba" and "Wang Ba" in Shandong and Henan dialects, but you won't be able to tell them apart.
Therefore, among the Grass Army, everyone always feels that something is strange.
Huang Chao is also helpless, uneducated and terrible. Let me explain to you slowly: "The tyrant is the tyrant of the overlord, and the king is the king of the tortoises. Do you understand the meaning? The meaning!"
The minions finally understood it. It meant that you could live for thousands of years and live for a hundred years. It was good, so be it.
Naturally, there is no need to detail the appointment of "a hundred civil and military officials".
Just like after Chao Gai's death, Song Jiang carried forward Shuibo Liangshan. After Wang Xianzhi was killed, Huang Chao also developed and expanded the Cao Army. Its momentum greatly exceeded its previous level, and the uprising reached a new height.
Huang Chao merged the main force of Wang Xianzhi's direct line, reorganized the grass army, and established the Yuan Wangba, which improved his reputation and morale.
This rejuvenated team once again captured Yizhou and Puzhou... It's still the original recipe, the same taste, what a familiar place name. What Brother is fighting is not territory, but feelings.
Southwest Shandong was the place where bandits arose and was ravaged by Wang Huangcao's army. It was also the first place where the government troops gathered to suppress bandits. Although the Cao Army annexed the entire Tianping Army (Yunzhou, Puzhou, and Caozhou) in one fell swoop when they first rose up, this was probably because they caught the official army by surprise. Now that the officers and soldiers were well prepared, Huang Chao lost his advantage.
Moreover, the imperial court also made drastic personnel changes to the anti-bandit forces. Song Wei was dismissed from his post, and a group of "main combatant" generals who were good at fighting and conquering, such as Zeng Yuanyu and Zhang Zimian, took over as commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.
It was obviously not a wise move for Huang Chao to stir things up here, so he soon suffered a disastrous defeat and was forced to flee to the ground in Henan.
Zeng Yuanyu would not let him go. In Shenzhou, Zeng Yuanyu pursued Wang Xianzhi and eventually shot him to death. Now, he will also pursue Huang Chao until he is killed.
At the critical moment of life and death, Huang Chao suddenly wrote to Zhang Sen, the newly appointed military commander of the Tianping Army, asking him to go to Emperor Shu on his behalf and request for his recruitment.
Zhang Sen, also a victim of the "Yu Cong case", was excluded from the court by Wei Baoheng on the grounds of "close contacts with Yu Cong."
At this time, Comrade Zhang Sen had just been rehabilitated and given a new life. Although he held a high position as Jiedushi, he was a "foreign official" and had not entered the imperial court or the core circle of power. Huang Chao took the initiative to surrender to him, wasn't he giving him a big gift? The first successful recruitment will be a stepping stone for Zhang Sen to re-enter the Central Committee.
Zhang Fen immediately wrote a letter saying that Huang Chao, the leader of the Cao Army, was willing to accept the recruitment.
The imperial court did not get what it wanted, so it immediately issued an edict and appointed Huang Chao as the right-guard general. He first went to Yunzhou to disarm and demobilize the troops in accordance with the law, and then reported to Chang'an and took up his post.
Accordingly, the troops of Zeng Yuanyu and others should also suspend all military operations.
Zhang Sen in Yunzhou City is waiting eagerly for the lovely Huang Chao, with the background sound of "Looking for My Lover".
I can't wait to the left, I can't wait to the right, I still can't wait if I open my bow left and right.
The imperial court did not understand Huang Chao, but Huang Chao knew the imperial court very well.
In the eyes of the imperial court, Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao and other thieves all have the same appearance. They are making trouble in the Dragon Palace, the Underworld, and the Heavenly Palace... They go to heaven and earth just for the sake of a certain organization. Just give Bi Mawen and they will be quiet. . If it really doesn't work, giving him the supernumerary title of "Monkey King" can be comforting.
However, "Yunzhou asks for surrender" is essentially different from "Qizhou asks for surrender" and "Dengzhou asks for surrender". Qizhou and Dengzhou's request for surrender is true, but Yunzhou's request for surrender is false.
After all, Huang Chao is "proficient in writing", and being proficient in writing is better than having no proficiency in writing. He identified the imperial court's pulse, that is, it was eager to recruit peace and security. Therefore, whenever he was forced into desperation by the army, he would accept recruitment as a delaying tactic, which worked repeatedly.
Zeng Yuanyu and other officers and soldiers were ordered to stop the pursuit, but saw their success fell short.
Huang Chao once again escaped a fatal blow and resurrected on the spot with full health and BUFF. He led the grass army to invade Henan.
Huang Chao is a smart man. He has learned the two most important lessons during more than three years of rebellion: do not fight head-on with the army;
But he was not meticulous enough, and he ignored a seemingly unimportant lesson: feelings!
Small feelings are pleasant, big feelings are harmful to the body, and dead feelings are wiped out.
Relying on the first two experiences, Huang Chao grew bigger step by step, and finally took control of Chang'an. He faced south and turned north, called himself a loner, and became the "Emperor" for a time. And the last lesson ruined his reputation.
The imperial court was overjoyed, but was teased by the grass bandit Huang Chao, so it redeployed troops and generals to continue to encircle and suppress the grass army.
Under the pressure of the huge bandit suppression force, Huang Chao followed the first rule of thumb, avoided the real and attacked the weak, and led his army southward, running from Henan to Jiangxi in one breath.
Arriving in the virgin land of Jiangxi, Huang Chaocao's army plundered and made strategic supplements, quickly regaining their strength.
At this time, Zeng Yuanyu, the old enemy of the Grass Army, was transferred back to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to guard against the threat of the Grass Army. Task groups from various theaters also formed several lines of defense in Henan. The anti-bandit forces as a whole are in a passive defensive posture.
Huang Chao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But he was too proud too soon. Before I could finish my sigh, I heard a bolt from the blue: the imperial court transferred Gao Pian, the powerful general stationed in Xichuan, back and appointed him as Zhenhai Jiedushi, and his troops were directed at the Huangchao Army!
Zeng Yuanyu is in the north, Gao Pian is in the east, Zhang Zimian is chasing... Huang Chao is facing a dragnet of bandit suppression troops, and the life and death of the Cao army depends on it.
