Chapter 972 The Reasons for Huang Chao's Failure
Huang Chao was simply too much. He actually massacred their entire family. Some of the older members of the noble families had already fainted from anger. How could anyone remain calm after hearing that their entire family would be massacred and their descendants would be cut off?
"Very good, very good, worthy of me. Those noble families are too arrogant and control everything. They deserve to be destroyed," Huang Chao said with some complacency. As for the things he did later, he could only say, it was awesome, it was so awesome.
He was extremely dissatisfied with those aristocratic families, official families, etc., who were all people who looked down on others.
As expected, it is much easier to break into Chang'an than to get admitted into Chang'an.
Huang Chao took the exam so many times over so many years, but never passed it once, just because of those aristocratic families and his identity.
He hated it so much, but when he heard about what he had done later, he was happy.
"You're right! Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers different in kind?" Chen Sheng shouted.
"Although we are ordinary people, if we are bullied for a long time, we should let those people know that we are not so easy to bully," Wu Guang said, snorting twice. They originally wanted to live a good life, but they were forced to do nothing.
Zhang Jue said nothing, just stroked his goat beard and smiled.
The royal family, aristocratic families, officials and others in front of the sky curtain turned green in the face when they saw the four people on the sky curtain say this.
Especially the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, other dynasties did not react much. As I said, they were not the rebels of their dynasties, so they just watched the fun and did not mind making trouble.
In particular, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed very much with what several people said, saying that if the government and the court did a good job and allowed the people to survive and have enough food to eat, who would rebel for no reason?
Who doesn’t want to live a stable life?
If the Yuan court had treated the people better, he would not have rebelled. But they could not survive. Their family members starved to death and they didn't even have a coffin. How could they survive?
If you don't rebel, are you still waiting for the court?
I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until they all die.
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, the Yuan Dynasty emperors looked even uglier. Their Yuan Dynasty wasn’t that bad, right?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed miserable, the common people all had miserable lives. Why just scold them?
So the barrage started to expose each other's secrets again, and it was basically like exposing each other's pants completely.
No one was pleased. In the later period, no dynasty was good. If it were good, it would not have perished and there would have been no rebellion.
The other people who did not participate in the war were confused. What was going on? Why were they arguing again?
Forget it, let them just watch the show. After all, when these officials quarrel, it’s actually no different from when ordinary people like them quarrel.

When Li Wu heard the words of the four seniors, she coughed twice tactically. She didn't even need to look at the comments to know how dirty their curses were.
"Well, four seniors, let me continue to talk about the deeds of Senior Huang Chao," Li Wu said. If she went on, she was really afraid that the four of them would lose their lives after going there, even though what they did was a matter of life and death.
"Little Immortal, please speak, please speak," Chen Sheng said. Several people stopped talking, knowing that the Little Immortal didn't want them to speak anymore. They were all smart people.
The four of them ate and didn't say anything else. If they continued talking, they would be hunted down for thousands of miles.
"After you established your regime, Senior Huang Chao, you did not pursue the victory of the late Tang regime.
He simply issued imperial edicts to officials in various places, attempting to achieve his goal with just a piece of empty paper.
But you, Mr. Huang Chao, would never have expected that the fleeing Emperor Xizong of Tang would be able to regroup so quickly.
And those vassal states that had surrendered before also turned against him at his call.
Faced with no hope of getting help, the rebel general Zhu Wen also rebelled.
In 883 AD, Li Keyong of the Shatuo tribe, in accordance with the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty, led troops to attack the rebel army.
Huang Chao withdrew from Chang'an. The following year, he suffered heavy losses in a battle at Langhu Valley north of Laiwu. He committed suicide at the age of 63.
Senior Huang Chao, I have finished talking about your deeds. In fact, there are many reasons for your failure. Senior Huang Chao, would you like to listen to them?" Li Wu looked at Huang Chao and asked.
Chen Sheng and the other two also looked at Huang Chao. Although Huang Chao had failed like them, he had also been remembered by history and his name would be passed down through the ages. They felt that there was nothing wrong with that, didn't they?
If you do nothing, you may not even have a name after you die. If you do something, no matter whether it is a good name or a bad name, at least people will remember you.
And it seems that it’s not all just a bad reputation!
They also didn't see that later dynasties cursed them, and there were even many people thanking them, so it can be seen that they were not entirely wrong.
"Please tell me, little immortal," Huang Chao really wanted to know. He had already occupied Chang'an and became the emperor, so how could he fail later?
Several other people also pricked up their ears and listened.
"Let me first talk about the core strategic flaw. At that time, Senior Huang Chao, you used mobile warfare.
The rebels adopted guerrilla tactics and did not set up officials to govern the cities after capturing them, resulting in the territories they passed through being lost and gained frequently.
The economic center north of the Yangtze River was not effectively controlled, and the country fell into a logistical crisis after the canal transportation was cut off. The Guanzhong area alone could not support hundreds of thousands of troops.
Also, after capturing Chang'an, Senior Huang Chao, you did not order anyone to pursue the fleeing Emperor Xizong of Tang, which allowed the Tang central government to reorganize its counterattack force.
If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze.
It's safe to let the tiger return to the mountains. Even though that tiger is not very good, it is still a tiger, right?
Even if Tiger is not able to do it, what about his subordinates? "
At that time, there were still many officials who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty and would not submit to Huang Chao.
Especially those officials of the Tang Dynasty, even if they really surrendered, it was just a false surrender.
When Huang Chao heard this, he frowned. How could he explain this? He had not experienced this yet, but now that he knew it, he would definitely not make this mistake again in the future.
However, it is impossible for him to fight against the Tang Dynasty. But he can try other countries. It is not impossible to become the king of other countries!
Anyway, it is not known whether the Tang Dynasty of his time could unify the entire territory during his lifetime.
"In addition, abandoning the Jianghuai Economic Zone led to a cut-off of food supplies, and after the fall of Chang'an, we faced a material crisis where 'there was not even half of the wealth left'.
In the later period, human flesh workshops called "Dou Mo Zhai" appeared, and military discipline completely collapsed.
This me," Li Wu covered his mouth and almost vomited.
Looking at Huang Chao, Li Wu was a little scared.
Chen Sheng and several others were also looking at Huang Chao. What kind of human flesh workshop is this?
what is that?
Many of the ancestors in front of the sky curtain knew this, so they said in the barrage that Huang Chao had now caused dissatisfaction among the people.
