Chapter 22 Same and Different (Happy New Year!)
Zhang Jiao took this opportunity to combine his medical skills with the contents of the strange book "Taiping Yaoshu" to help the people, so that Zhang Jiao has gained the support of many people, and the current court and the people have long lost their trust.
Under this situation, Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Road and established prestige among the poor peasants, with hundreds of thousands of believers. Zhang Jiao used his prestige among the people to divide the believers in the world into thirty-six parties; more than 10,000 people in a generous position and six or seven thousand people in a small position; each party set up a canal commander, and he unified the command, intending to overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish a new world ruled by the Yellow Turban Army.
However, after only 9 months of the uprising, the main force was completely defeated. The Yellow Turban Army faced a powerful enemy. After the uprising broke out, the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army not only included a huge Eastern Han official army, but also a large and powerful armed force from all over the country. They faced the crazy suppression of the entire landlord class and were outnumbered.
At the same time, the leaders of the rebel army lacked military command skills. Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, Han Zhong and others all knew how to defend one city and one pool, or encircle a strong city for a long time, fight for consumption with the Eastern Han army, and always passively beating until failure..."
Every time Fang Nan finished telling the students a story, he would ask questions to the students, mainly asking what they learned from the stories, and this time was no exception.
"After listening to the story told by the teacher, the teacher has two questions to ask everyone. What are the similarities between the story of the Yellow Turban Uprising and the story of the earlier Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising? What are the differences?"
"Teacher, I think there are similarities. The Qin and Han dynasties are not good to the people. Both the uprising failed, and the leaders of the uprising lack command ability; there are differences. The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising were only suppressed by the court. The Yellow Turban Uprising was not only suppressed by the court, but also by the noble families..." Wang Mu stood up and was the first to answer Fang Nan's question.
Wang Mu's answer was quite a bit more. The students who stood up to answer later all supplemented Wang Mu's answers. From the students' answers, Fang Nan could also see that the students' thoughts on the questions were becoming more and more comprehensive.
When the class was about to end, He Yan, who was as old as Fang Nan, stood up and raised a question that was a rebellious person in the outside world:
"Teacher, the Qin Dynasty is not good to the people, the Han Dynasty is not good to the people, and the Ming Dynasty is not good to us, the people. Why did the people in the Ming Dynasty not revolt to overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"
He Yan’s question surprised Fang Nan, and Fang Nan replied:
"There are peasant uprisings outside, and perhaps the peasant uprisings have never ended. It's just that the Ming Dynasty became very powerful and had nearly one million troops. The peasant uprising army was very weak and would be extinguished soon.
The Huizhou Prefecture area where we are located is one of the most frequent areas of peasant uprisings in Guangdong. The government and landlords constantly oppress the people. Some of the people chose to revolt. After the uprising failed, most of them were killed by the court. The other part of the people were like our elders, who led their families to escape into the mountains and could still survive."
Hearing Teacher Fang Nan's answer, not only He Yan, who asked the question, was silent, but Hu Xiaoya and other students were also silent in the classroom. They studied for more than a year and their thoughts were constantly liberated. Even though they were still young, their knowledge and knowledge were much more than ordinary people.
It is precisely because I know more that I am silent and have all kinds of messy thoughts in my mind. Perhaps some students have the idea of "becoming a person like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, leading the people to launch the Ming Dynasty."
