Chapter 130 The Yellow Turban Army Is Established
The sky is dead, should Huang Tian stand?

The congregants who were born as common people were generally willing to believe that they were the most cruelly exploited by the Han Empire, the most dissatisfied with the reality, and the least educated, so they were the best targets for propaganda.

As long as there is a little agitation, their long-term oppressed dissatisfaction will burst out in an instant. As long as someone leads, organizes, and distributes weapons, they do not lack the courage to fight.

But for those Taiping Taoists with a certain social status, the situation is not the same.

Some of them are powerful landlords, some are officials, and some are petty officials. They have different identities, but they are all vested interests under the current system.

They choose Taipingdao because they want to gain greater benefits under the current system, use Taipingdao's channels to know more people, and further open up channels for upward movement, not for change.

Except for a very few people, most of these people would not think about smashing their golden jobs.

If Taipingdao continues to choose to develop within the existing system of the Han Empire, their interests will become greater and greater, and they will support Taipingdao more and more. In the end, Taipingdao controlled by them may have the same characteristics as the Five Classics and Fourteen The ability of family law to compete.

But if the Taipingdao at this stage directly chooses to cut off from the Han Empire, the situation will be completely different.

What's more, they knew more or less the inside story of Taipingdao. In the past year or so, Zhang Jiao had not had little contact with them. He should know what Zhang Jiao is going to do.

Their strong capital destined them to have bargaining power that ordinary people do not have. They can negotiate with existing and potential rulers, and they can even jump around repeatedly.

They have capital and they have this qualification.

So they can become members of the Taiping Taoist Church without participating in what Zhang Jiao wants to do. Zhang Jiao asked them where to stand, and they said I was in the middle.

What can Zhang Jiao do with them?

When Zhang Jiao was alive, considering Taipingdao's increasing civil prestige and growing official foundation, although they would not participate in Zhang Jiao's military operations, they did not lack a share of investment.

If a corner is won, wouldn't it be a big profit?

But if Zhang Jiao is dead now.

Count!
The only possibility for the success of Taipingdao is to be successful under the leadership of Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao is dead, can Taipingdao last long?
I don't want sunk costs anymore, cut them quickly!

They were in a hurry to draw a clear line with Taipingdao. How could they participate in the riot of the remnants of Taipingdao without Zhang Jiao's unified command?

Smelling the smell of violence that was different from usual, the landlords and officials who walked very close to Taipingdao stayed away from Taipingdao one after another, and absolutely stayed away from some people who tried to persuade them to join the team.

They began to look for means of self-preservation.

The militant factions of Taipingdao fell into an isolated atmosphere, and this isolated atmosphere further caused some less radical militant factions to waver, and further became swingists, choosing Run.

And the remaining minority after the big waves wash away the sand are all hardcore hawks.

They decided to start an uprising.

Zhang Jiao prepared a large amount of food, fodder and military supplies for the uprising. These supplies were secretly stored in some places, and people who did not have access to the core level would not know about them.

Fortunately, there are a few hard-core supporters of Zhang Jiao among the hard-core hawks who know where these things are stored.

Zhang Jiao's disciples Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng and others knew about this, so they agreed to develop a group of people to arm themselves, and then rise up on the spot, attack the government, obtain more resources, strengthen the team, and fight for Zhang Jiao. The banner of revenge and creation of the world of Huangtian.

Their actions were very fast, and the progress of the Taipingdao believers who agitated the common people, refugees, and bandits at the bottom was also very fast.

They agreed with each other to tie yellow cloth scarves on their heads, implying the concept of Taiping Tao with the yellow sky above their heads, formally breaking with the sky and breaking with the Han Empire.

This time their actions were almost done in broad daylight. There was no secrecy, no procedures, and it was almost public. Anyone who wanted to know could know, so if the government wanted to do something, it would not be difficult.

The problem is that the government did nothing.

In other words, neither the Julu County nor the Julu County government knew what to do, and they were also very panicked.

Zhang Jiao's local prestige and foundation are too high and deep to be moved easily, and when he died, the base camp of Taiping Dao was shaken, and countless Taiping Dao believers marched to Julu County together, just like a pilgrimage. Can't live.

The prefect of Julu was quite helpless in the face of this matter. He wanted to stop the abnormal flow of population, but he dared not touch the situation at this time.

The prefect of Julu dared not, and the magistrate of Julu County was even more afraid.

It's not that there are people with insight who have suggested that there are rumors of misconduct in the Taipingdao, and hope that the authorities will make preparations early, and some people even publicly reported to the prefect of Julu, saying that several disciples of Zhang Jiao claimed that the person who killed Zhang Jiao was People in the Luoyang court are ready to rebel.

But the prefect of Julu still didn't take any action, or wanted to take action, but the support or opposition of the staff around him was evenly matched, and the prefect was so quarreled that he didn't know how to choose.

So when they could do something, they didn't do anything. The government watched helplessly for the warning that someone was about to rebel.

After missing the best opportunity, the opportunity was given to Taiping Road.

Because of Zhang Jiao's death, a large number of hardcore believers moved from various counties and even counties to Julu County, which gave Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng and others excellent conditions to initiate an uprising.

They quickly organized and agitated these sad believers who could not restrain themselves, issued weapons and yellow scarves, and then officially launched the uprising on the 29th of the first month of the seventh year of Guanghe.

The Yellow Turban Army was established.

On the day of the incident, more than 1 Yellow Turban Army swept through Julu County and killed the panicked magistrate of Julu County. Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, Wang Meng and others wanted to vent their personal anger, so they ordered the Yellow Turban Army to sweep Julu County Those landlords who are unwilling to cooperate.

Want to watch?
Think beautiful!
Give me your life!
Most of the powerful landlords' families in Julu County were caught off guard, and were successfully raided by the Yellow Turban Army, completely shattered.

The newly established Yellow Turban Army led by Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, and Wang Meng obtained a larger amount of goods for this purpose, and the logistical supply problem was satisfactorily resolved.

Then they agreed to attack Julu County in three ways, and launched a sweeping operation throughout Julu County, sweeping up those bastards who were trying to watch the fire from the other side, robbing them of all their belongings, and killing all of them. family members.

But this agreement quickly lost its validity.

This Yellow Turban army went astray from the very beginning. They didn't even put on much pretense from the very beginning. They lost the restraint of Zhang Jiao's prestige, and couldn't even control the discipline at the very beginning, directly revealing their chaotic and disorderly side.

Their siege went very smoothly.

When Taiping Dao believers from all over the world heard that they revolted under the banner of "revenge for the great virtuous teacher" and "the heaven is dead and the yellow sky should be established", there were actually a lot of responders, and they all wore yellow turbans and became yellow scarves. , began to cooperate with the outside.

Governments in various places were shattered because of lack of defense and military mobilization. A large number of county magistrates, county magistrates, and officials in the county government were killed. The rest either fled or joined them with yellow scarves. just join.

In just a few days, the situation in Julu County was out of control.

Just talking about the situation in Julu County, it can be said that Tianhu started. Everywhere, grassroots Taipingdao believers turned into Yellow Turbans to help them.

But the problem is that they have no military discipline, no military regulations, and basically no goals other than revenge.

More importantly, no one has made clear regulations on the crucial issue of who will take revenge.

So after getting the Huan Shou Dao in their hands and breaking through the city, the Yellow Turban Army not only followed the order to sweep up the powerful landlords, but also showed no mercy to the people in the city.

They "treat everyone equally".
