Huang Chao, born in 820 AD, was born in Juyuan County, Caozhou. Where is he? Now it is located in the southwest of Heze City, Shandong Province and at the junction of Henan Province. Huang Chao was finally given a chrysanthemum. In 875, he joined the Rebel Army in his hometown of Wang Xianzhi and began to try to overthrow the decadent Tang Dynasty.
After Huang Chao joined, he followed Wang Xianzhi to attack Yunzhou (now Yuncheng County, Shandong Province). Huang Chao's next stop is Yizhou (now Linyi), more than 200 kilometers east of Yunzhou. Huang Chao and others rested after being beaten in Yizhou and entered the Henan border. In Luoyang, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, Henan, and then into the border areas of southern Henan and northern Hubei, including Nanyang, Henan, Xiangyang and Suizhou. The rebel army's activities have been expanding, including the vast areas south of Huainan, north of the Yangtze River and west of Yangzhou. Wherever he goes, loyalists will be killed.
However, Huang Chao always followed Wang Xianzhi's actions, and was not the first hero of the rebel army. Until the end of the second year of Ganfu (875) (the beginning of 876 solar calendar), Wang Xianzhi wanted to accept the favor of the court. Huang Chao was furious and said, "Welcome!" ! Wu An! What a nice bird! Say and Huang Chao anger from my heart, picked up Wang Xianzhi swept over to enjoy an old fist. Wang Xianzhi didn't have a chance to be Song Jiang's surrender doyen, so he had to continue to be a "thief". Just turned over with Huang Chao, two people each play each, Huang Chao returned to Shandong.
In early 877, Huang Chao returned to Yunzhou again, and Yizhou was the next stop. The loyalist of these two places heard that Huang Chao came back, and everyone's expression was: ...
Huang Chao has no base area and cannot stay in Erzhou. He went west to Henan, joined Wang Xianzhi, and then went to Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan). At the gates of Songzhou, the rebels were defeated, and Huang Chao went south to Huangzhou and qi zhou in eastern Hubei. Huang Chao intended to cross the river, but did not capture Hezhou (Anhui County), so there was no place to stand. He simply withdrew his troops to the north and went all the way to Zhou Pu (Puyang, Henan) on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Huang Chao led a team to run back and forth in the north and south of the Yangtze River to support the war. After his death, General Shang asked the remaining troops to join Huang Chao who had arrived here in Bozhou, Anhui. In Bozhou, Huang Chao claimed to be a general and set up hundreds of officials, which took another step towards the regularization of the company.
Huang Chao, on the other hand, is still a grass-roots team and pursues the principle of roving bandits. Of course, loyalist was in an emergency, and Huang Chao didn't have time to engage in base areas, so he had to turn passive into active, with the main goal of annihilating Tang Jun. After the failure of attacking Xiangyi (Suixian) and Qiu Yong (Qixian) between Bianzhou (Kaifeng) and Songzhou, Huang Chao pulled his troops to central Henan and attacked Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, from the downtown.
Tang Jun gathered in Luoyang area, and Huang Chao didn't have a chance to do it, but made great strides. Loyalist haven't seen Huang Chao for some time. When we saw him again, Huang Chao had arrived in Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng, Anhui) on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Gao Pian, in our Huainan era, was still a god of war as long as he didn't seek immortality. Gao Pian killed Huang Chao, and Huang Chao could not gain a foothold in Jiangnan. He led his troops into the observation mission area in eastern Zhejiang (Zhejiang Province does not include the area north of Fuchun River). In Zhejiang, Huang Chao met Qian Liu, the founder of Wu Yueguo in the Five Dynasties. Huang Chao crossed Quzhou from Wuzhou (Jinhua, Zhejiang Province) and "opened the mountain road for 700 miles", and entered the observation mission area in Fujian (now Fujian Province) between the mountains.
Huang Chao's goal is Guangzhou, and she wants to be the second Zhao Tuo in Lingnan. However, Huang Chao's marching route was: March from Fujian to Guangxi along the Lingnan Five Ridges, and capture most areas under the jurisdiction of Guangxi and Guanjian (now Guilin, Liuzhou and Wuzhou in Guangxi). After winning the laurel, Huang Chao's army entered Guangzhou.
Huang Chao's troops are mostly northerners, and they are not acclimatized in Lingnan. Huang Chao misses his hometown in the north. In the first year of Tang Guangming (880), the Huang Chao Armament Ship boarded the ship from the Lijiang River on the edge of Guilin City, entered the Xiangjiang River through Lingqu, and then went all the way north. It passes through Yongzhou (Lingling County, Hunan Province) and Hengzhou (now Hengyang, Hunan Province) and then enters Changsha City.
After Huang Chao entered the Yangtze River, he first attacked Jiangling (now Jiangling, Hubei Province) and then Xiangyang, only to be defeated by Tang Jun. Huang Chao re-entered Jiangnan and circled back and forth in Jiangxi Province. Huang Chao re-entered Zhejiang from Xinzhou, Jiangxi Province (now Shangrao, Jiangxi Province) and ate a high-profile encirclement and suppression army, the time our army was in Huainan. Most of the places that Huang Chao has been to are old places, such as Wuzhou and Xuanzhou. It seems that Huang Chao is "quite nostalgic".
Huang Chao seems to feel that his hooliganism has come to an end and should be based. Huang Chao led his troops out of Yangzhou, all the way north, and entered Songzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other places at the junction of Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces. His strategic goal is very clear, starting from Luoyang and then starting from Chang 'an.
At the beginning of 88 1, Huang Chao army conquered Luoyang and then attacked Tongguan to the west. Frightened overnight with eunuch Tian to take refuge in Shu, Huang Chao army quickly entered Chang 'an smoothly. Huang Chao proclaimed himself emperor in Chang 'an and established the Daqi Dynasty, and Huang Chao reached the peak of his life.
But not far from the peak is the cliff, and Huang Chao directly fell into the cliff of history. Because of "poor management", Huang Chao could not gain a foothold in Guanzhong, and was hunted by loyalists everywhere. In April of the third year of Emperor Taizong's reign (883), Huang Chao led an army into Henan, tossing and turning in Chen Zhou (now Zhoukou City, Henan Province) in the middle of Henan. Loyalist of all walks of life stepped up their pursuit of Huang Chao, and Huang Chao was already a spent force and could not escape.
Huang Chao's life ended in the Tiger and Wolf Valley in Taishan Mountain, Shandong Province (southwest of Lai Wuhu, Jinan City, Shandong Province). Huang Chao was killed by his nephew Lin Yan and gave his head. Look at Huang Chao's marching road map. Almost all over the country, and Huang Chao only took eight years. The provinces involved include Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Shaanxi.
