Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Poyang Lake!Battle to the death!

On July 21, the Battle of Poyang Lake officially began. The two sides formed formations on the lake, and only then did Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers discover a serious problem. Their warships are too small, they look like toys in front of Chen Youliang's huge warships. Among Chen Youliang's warships, the largest one is fifteen feet long, two feet wide, and three feet high. You can calculate the size of the ship by yourself. On the third floor, there were actually soldiers on horseback patrolling back and forth on the deck.The stern cannot be seen from the front of the ship (head and stern do not face each other), and soldiers standing on their own warships can only look up at the enemy's ships (you cannot attack if you look up).

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's warships still had the ships captured by Chen Youliang in the Battle of Longwan in the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty as the main force, as well as several fishing boats.Although Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers had long heard that Chen Youliang's warship was powerful, it was only when they observed it closely that they realized what a terrifying fleet it was. How to fight this battle? This scene should have left a deep impression on Zhu Yuanzhang. Since then, shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty has always aimed at giant ships. When Zheng He sailed to the West, the largest "treasure ship" was 127 meters long. Ten years ago, Chen Youliang demonstrated.

But in this case, it is impossible to retreat, only to fight. Zhu Yuanzhang explained his method of defeating the enemy amidst a lot of laments. He believed that although the enemy's ships were large, their maneuverability was not good. Using the flexibility of his own ships, he could defeat the enemy (it is not good for advancing and retreating, but it can be broken). That being said, who will fight? At this time, Xu Da stood up. "I'm a pioneer!" Xu Da was not a brave man. He carefully analyzed the weaknesses of the enemy ships, and ordered his ships to form a small team with muskets and crossbows. After approaching the enemy ship, he first fired the musket and crossbow arrows. Get on the enemy ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

After careful consideration, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong and others formulated a detailed battle plan, preparing to deal a heavy blow to Chen Youliang. The next day, Xu Da led his fleet to attack. He took the lead and led the front army forward. After approaching Chen Youliang's army, he unexpectedly led his troops to launch a surprise attack on Chen Youliang's front army. Chen Youliang's army was in a great panic. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's army took the initiative to attack and dispatched a fleet to meet it. At this time, Xu Da's fleet suddenly divided into eleven teams and besieged the giant ship from different angles (similar to the tactic of pack wolves). It was inconvenient, and Xu Da's attack was unable to repel Xu Da's attack. Xu Da's army took advantage of the momentum to climb onto one of the giant ships, killed more than a thousand enemies, and captured the ship. Chen Youliang's former army was defeated.

Chen Youliang's army discovered the characteristics of Xu Da's attack, so they gathered dozens of giant ships to launch a cluster attack.Xu Da hurriedly withdrew the fleet, and Chen Youliang's army took advantage of the situation to attack, but they did not expect that this was a trap. Chen Youliang's army followed and pursued Xu Da. At this time, the wind suddenly turned against the wind. Yu Haitong, who had been waiting in the Chinese fleet for a long time, immediately concentrated a large number of artillery and violently bombarded Chen Youliang's army who entered the range. Chen Youliang's vanguard fleet was almost wiped out. The rest of the warships were burned.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army flag opened to victory. But Chen Youliang is Chen Youliang after all. After the initial failure, he reorganized the fleet in time, took advantage of his huge ships, and used the artillery on the ships to launch a fierce attack on Xu Dajun. During this attack, Xu Da's battleship was hit, and he had to abandon his flagship and transfer to other ships, temporarily losing command of the fleet.Chen Youliang's army took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and sank dozens of warships of Zhu Yuanzhang's army in succession. Zhu Yuanzhang's army suffered heavy losses and countless people died of drowning.

The two sides returned to a stalemate. However, the nightmare of Zhu Yuanzhang's army has just begun, and Chen Youliang's army is about to launch an unexpected attack. This attack was unexpected by Chen Youliang, but it was almost fatal to Zhu Yuanzhang. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were a large number of famous generals. There were a large number of brave generals under the various princes. Among them, General Zhu Yuanzhang was the strongest. Assault, Feng Shengshan flanked, Zhu Wenzheng was good at defending.But when it comes to bravery, there is no such thing as Zhang Dingbian!

Zhang Dingbian, born in 1318, was originally from Mianyang, Hubei. Like Chen Youliang, he also came from a fishing family.This man is not only brave and good at fighting, but also knows astronomy, geography, and even fortune-telling. He is Chen Youliang's childhood partner and his best friend. As early as in Hubei, Chen Youliang and Zhang Bixian swore to be brothers and swore to share life and death. Chen Youliang was suspicious all his life. Trust this person very much. After the stalemate in the battle situation, Zhang Dingbian decided to implement his action. This action was not known to Chen Youliang in advance. I believe that if he knew, he would never agree to implement it.

Zhang Dingbian led his flagship and two auxiliary ships out of the formation of Chen Youliang's navy. Both Chen Youliang's and Zhu's armies thought that he was out for cruise, and didn't care. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Zhang Dingbian led his three warships without stopping, and rushed directly to Zhu Yuanzhang's flagship! Take the head of Yuanzhang from the million troops! Zhang Dingbian was unstoppable, and charged into the front of Zhu Yuanzhang's navy with a lone army. At this time, both sides of the battle were stunned by him. Chen Youliang's army did not know why this happened, and Zhu Yuanzhang's army was not on guard. Zhang Dingbian ignored him and went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After rushing all the way to the central army, Zhu Yuanzhang's navy realized that his goal was Zhu Yuanzhang, the commander-in-chief of the entire army! The stunned generals came to their senses one after another, and immediately commanded their warships to stop them. Zhang Dingbian rushed to the central army, and was surrounded by more than 30 warships. From the general's point of view, Zhang Dingbian's performance is over. But what stunned them even more was yet to come. Zhang Dingbian can be said to be full of courage, trapped in a heavy siege, fighting alone, but the more he fights, the more courageous he is, he is unstoppable!

Although he went deep alone, he was extremely brave. In order to boost morale, he stood on the bow of the ship with a sword in his hand to show that he would never retreat. The soldiers were touched by his courage and fought with all their strength. Defeated Zhu Yuanzhang's various generals, and successively beheaded generals Han Cheng, Chen Zhaoxian, Song Gui and others.After rushing out a bloody road, Zhu Yuanzhang's navy was cut in half by him, and they came straight to Zhu Yuanzhang all the way. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the rear army, saw Zhang Dingbian's warship rushing all the way, and panicked. Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss what to do. He came to rescue him without a warship, and he was about to be a prisoner. In martial arts novels, when encountering similar situations, beauties suffer, and martial arts masters come to rescue them. Facts tell us that in real history, at times of crisis, martial arts masters will come forward. Zhu Yuanzhang at this time is an example . Although it is not a hero to save the beauty (the image is a bit worse), it is also quite legendary. At this time, Chang Yuchun's warship was not far away from Zhu Yuanzhang. When everyone was in a hurry, he came to the lookout sergeant with a bow in his hand, and said to him calmly, "Don't panic, tell me, which one?" Is it Zhang Dingbian?" The sergeant pointed his finger at the bow of the battleship ahead, Chang Yuchun drew the bow and set an arrow, the sergeant hadn't put down his hand, the arrow was already off the string, and the arrow hit Zhang Dingbian! (Shooting is still a moving target) After being shot, Zhang Dingbian was unable to command the battle, so he withdrew from Zhu Yuanzhang's navy, but no one stopped him. Zhang Dingbian was actually Zhao Zilong for a while.It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang is not Cao Cao, and there is no rule that he cannot shoot arrows. The next day's battle ended, and it was a thrilling day. That night, Chen Youliang held a battle meeting and summed up the experience of the day's battle. He believed that to make use of the strengths of his warships, he must ensure group assaults, and the speed of the ships was different, so they could not guarantee unity, so he creatively (thought he) thought An idea came up: connect the boats with iron cables! (look familiar) This really shouldn't be. It is said that Chen Youliang and Shi Naian have a very good relationship. In this way, he should also know Luo Guanzhong, so he really shouldn't have made this mistake. Trick, it seems that Luo Guanzhong did not give him a copy after he finished writing The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and published it. third day. Zhu Yuanzhang attacked first. He personally blew the horn and summoned all the troops to deploy for a decisive battle. At this time, Chen Youliang's iron chain chain fleet exerted great power. They were linked together and stretched for ten miles. Zhu Yuanzhang sent three fleets to attack in turn, but they were all defeated. Chen Youliang was keenly aware of the weakness of Zhu Yuanzhang's right wing, so he commanded the army to attack the right wing of Zhu Yuanzhang's army. This move was very powerful. Zhu Yuanzhang's army could not resist. Stand in front of the ship with your sword, use the flagship as the bottom line, and kill those who retreat with your own hands! But after he killed more than ten retreating thousand households in a row, he still couldn't stop the defeat, and the whole army was about to collapse. Unexpectedly, at this time, a fierce general similar to Zhang Dingbian appeared in his army. Ding Pulang is Zhao Pusheng's sworn brother and one of the four King Kongs of the Xu Army. He defected to Zhu Yuanzhang not out of voluntary, but as a last resort, so he was not active in combat, but at this time the opponent let him reveal himself The true nature of a madman. For him, everything comes second, only brotherhood is the most important. Chen Youliang, a despicable villain, killed Zhao Pusheng, and he must pay for his life today! It is said that he set up a seven-foot white cloth on the bow of his boat, and wrote eight big characters: "No one else asks, but Jiusi". Waiting to go aside. Chen Jiusi and Zhu Chongba, judging from their names, they are all hard-working people! After Zhang Dingbian staged a good show, Ding Pulang acted in the sequel, and he also led his battleship to the enemy.It was the time when Zhu Yuanzhang retreated, so his attack boosted the morale of the army and enabled Zhu Yuanzhang to survive until the decisive battle. However, his charging direction was not ideal. Unlike Zhang Dingbian, he charged wherever there were many people.If you are brave, you will be brave, but it has no effect, but you have suffered a lot (you have been injured more than ten times), this is the difference between the courage of a famous general and the courage of an ordinary man. Here is an analysis of this peculiar phenomenon in the war. How to take the head of a general among millions of troops, if you study carefully, you will find that this is a technical job. You should have played the Romance of the Three Kingdoms clearance game. If you want to defeat the generals Xia Houdun, Cao Cao and others behind you, you must first fight a large number of small soldiers, Zhao Xiong, Fat Pang, etc. I am not good at skills. Already died at the hands of the unknown. The actual war is similar. It is not easy to kill the general by crossing ten thousand armies! Let’s take Guan Yu, a general of the Three Kingdoms, as an example. The process of him beheading Yan Liang (this is a historical fact) is worth studying. First, Yan Liang stood in front of the formation and didn’t know that Guan Yu was coming to kill him. ), "Shout loudly and rush down", Yan Liang lost his head before he knew what happened. It can be seen that this method of killing has several characteristics. Expressed in simple language, it is to find a loophole, take advantage of your unpreparedness, and give you a knife, which means stabbing a black knife. In general, there is a long way to go to achieve this goal. First of all, it must be sudden, you can't shout to the opposing army: I'm going to kill your general, get ready.This is not acceptable.It is necessary to specialize in those who are not prepared. Secondly, you have to be accurate, you can't rush into the crowd, you have to learn from badminton players, and you must hit in the cracks of people, which is the so-called joint.For example, in today's Golden Week tourist spots, you must not charge into crowds. In that case, you will be squeezed to death if you are not beaten to death. Finally, you need to be fast enough, have advanced means of transportation (fast horses, fast boats), and use certain dubbing (such as shouting) to confuse the other party, so that the other party Zhang Er King Kong can't figure it out. up. You're done, it can be seen that this kind of military operation has a high technical content. Zhang Dingbian is a person who has these conditions. He knows the art of war and can grasp the time and opportunity, so he can strike Zhu Yuanzhang violently. But Ding Pulang is just a man.He rushed from left to right and killed, not only could not get close to Chen Youliang, but he was surrounded by a group of people.His life was lost, but it was also quite tragic. According to Ming history records, he was seriously injured, his head had been lost, and he was still standing firmly with a weapon. god).But according to other historical materials I have seen, he committed suicide after being surrounded and unwilling to be a prisoner. It is said that the suicide would not be so violent that he could even cut off his own head.It can be considered suspicious. In any case, Ding Pulang was a man of loyalty. He did not die with his brother, but he also sought benevolence and deserving benevolence, so he deserved his death. Ding Pulang's attack gave Zhu Yuanzhang's army the courage to support them, and made them wait until the afternoon when the outcome was decided. In the constant retreat, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that if this continues, the entire army will be wiped out. At this time, his general Guo Xing suggested to him: The enemy's situation is serious now. It's not that the soldiers are not working hard. There is really no way. Big, we can't defeat them, we can only attack with fire! Zhu Yuanzhang took it very seriously, and he immediately arranged, ordered seven ships to load gunpowder, put the scarecrows in armor, made movements, organized death squads to control the ships, and sent people to respond. Everything was arranged, but it could not be carried out. Because Zhu Yuanzhang encountered the same problem as Zhou Yu—— No wind! No matter how capable Zhu Yuanzhang was, God had nothing to do with it. He looked at Guo Xing, which meant that you had any other ideas. Guo Xing had no choice this time. He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Just wait. Did this wind come as soon as it was said? Zhu Yuanzhang could only organize his troops to resist desperately. After struggling like this, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a miracle happened. Northeast wind blows! Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered that the fire boat set off! These seven ships approached Chen Youliang's warship after they were set on fire.Chen Youliang's warship was unable to escape due to the iron chain connecting the river, and suddenly fell into a sea of ​​flames. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to order the army to launch a general offensive, and for a while, the sound of killing shook the sky. At this time, Chen Youliang was resting in the Chinese army, still dreaming of annihilating Zhu Yuanzhang, when suddenly the soldiers ran in in a panic and shouted: "The big thing is not good!" Chen Youliang knew something was wrong, and immediately went out of the cabin to check before the soldiers finished speaking. The first thing he saw were the eyes of the soldiers on the warship— Scary red! The dazzling flames turned every soldier's eyes red. Powerless! At this time, it was already dusk, the setting sun in the sky was like blood, the blood on the ground flowed into a river, the blood of the killed soldiers stained the lake, and the magnificent Poyang Lake became a lake of blood. On a sunny day, the floating light jumps into gold, the boats fly and the birds fly, and when it rains, the clouds and water are vast, the wind is strong and the waves are high. This is the beautiful scenery of Poyang Lake on weekdays. Blood flowed. Chen Youliang's dozens of warships were all burned, and the flames of the ships were soaring into the sky. From time to time, there were screams of soldiers being burned and killed.Chen Youliang understood that he was finished. The fire, the blood and the sky reflected a frightening red color, which is the true autumn water and sky! In this terrible red, hundreds of thousands of people hold swords and fight to the death. They don't know each other, and they don't have much hatred, but at this moment, they are unequal enemies, and the god of death firmly grasps every People, the screams and wails of the soldiers are frightening to hear. This is real hell on earth! The raging fire shines on the sea of ​​clouds for the first time, and the red cliff buildings and boats are swept away! Chen Youliang was really defeated. He packed up his army, and now only half of the original fleet remained, but he absolutely cannot return to Jiangzhou. Once this gamble starts, whether you win or lose, you cannot leave, the gamble will continue until one of them loses everything, and it will not end. Chen Youliang summoned his generals and looked at them with red eyes. He could no longer lose. Surprisingly, he did not blame his generals, because he understood that at this point, we can only help each other. "Although we are defeated today, the victory still belongs to us!" The generals looked at him in amazement, is there any other way to win? "Yes, we still have a way!" At the same time, on Zhu Yuanzhang's flagship, the generals were very excited, and some even started to prepare to celebrate the victory. Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception. He told the generals that Chen Youliang had been defeated, and his demise would only happen overnight. Be able to destroy him (the army is defeated and depressed, he is dying, and now he will destroy him with all his strength)! Xu Da maintained a rare calmness. He reminded Zhu Yuanzhang that Chen Youliang still has considerable strength. Once he wants to jump the wall in a hurry, we must deal with it carefully, and we must not be careless. Zhu Yuanzhang turned his excited face and looked at Xu Da with a sly smile... "I know." fourth day. Chen Youliang's self-confidence comes from his intelligence. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to wipe out Zhu Yuanzhang's fleet. The only way is to kill Zhu Yuanzhang as a last resort! He has already learned through intelligence that Zhu Yuanzhang's flagship has been painted white. As long as all the troops are concentrated to attack the white warship and kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he will win! But when he arrived at the battlefield, he was stunned. Overnight, many warships of Zhu Yuanzhang's army were painted white, and he could no longer recognize which one was the flagship. Before he was completely stunned, Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered the army to launch a general offensive. Encouraged by the results of the previous two days, Zhu Yuanzhang's army was extremely brave and used a large number of ship division tactics. Taking advantage of the inflexible characteristics of Chen Youliang's giant ship, they successively sank Chen Youliang multiple warships.The battle was fought from morning to night, and Chen Youliang's army was finally exhausted and completely retreated. The first stage of the Poyang Lake War ended here. Chen Youliang suffered a disastrous defeat and was forced to retreat to Zhuxi on the west bank of Poyang Lake. Chen Youliang fell into despair, not only in military affairs, but also in life. His long-standing behavior pattern told him that as long as he was ruthless, he could get everything, but the fact was before his eyes. After three months, the seemingly weak Zhang Ziming was not afraid of death. Am I wrong? No, it's impossible, it was just an accident, I can't be wrong! But what happened afterwards made him have to admit his mistake. His left and right generals Jin Wu led his own army to surrender Zhu Yuanzhang. After Chen Youliang heard the news, his anger covered all his rationality, and he ordered all soldiers and generals who caught Zhu Yuanzhang to be executed on the spot! But after Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this order, he issued an opposite order, that all prisoners captured by Chen Youliang's army should be treated well and then released. The release of these two orders completely ruined Chen Youliang's morale.The soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with Chen Youliang and fled one after another. Chen Youliang waited for a long time on the west bank, and fought Zhu Yuanzhang for more than 30 days, but he did not wait for any chance. On the contrary, his soldiers continued to decrease, and the generals no longer served him. On August 26, he finally made a decision: run away! He took one last look at this vast lake, and his dream and ambition of unifying the world were shattered like this. The huge fleet and 600,000 troops when he came here are now only the defeated and remnant soldiers. does not matter.Soldiers can be recruited again, and ships can be rebuilt. What he doesn't understand is why he failed? I don't lack the strategy to control my men, I don't have the benevolence of a woman, I dare to kill all those who stand in my way, and I am not afraid of people's words, this is something ordinary people can't do, I am more ruthless than everyone else, why would fail?I already have the strongest army and war machine, why would my subordinates betray me? Chen Youliang will never find the answer, because the answer lies in his behavior pattern. From the moment he killed his brother and leader, his generals have fully understood his principle, that is, who has power, Whoever is more vicious can control everything! Benevolence, morality, and integrity do not exist.When these behaviors were regarded as the creed of life by his generals, his army became a collection of thousands of vicious Chen Youliang.Such a collection is similar to the Xingxiu faction in Jin Yong's novels. Once Chen Youliang is unlucky, everyone will not continue to be loyal to him, but step up and step on it fiercely, making things worse. Of course, the failed Chen Youliang was not worthless to them, at least his head was still very valuable. Chen Youliang is sinister and vicious, and his generals are even more sinister and vicious than him.Chen Youliang superstitiously believes in violence to rule everything, and his generals are even more superstitious in violence than he is. When the foundation of his existence - violence - is overthrown, he has no cards left, and the only thing waiting for him is death. The weather-beaten Zhang Xueliang once used his life experience to tell young Japanese: Don't believe in violence. History has proved that violence cannot solve problems. I believe this is the root cause of Chen Youliang's failure. Chen Youliang led the army hoping to retreat. He chose Hukou as the breakthrough point, but at this time Chen Youliang was no longer the original Chen Youliang. He fought desperately and suffered heavy losses before he managed to open the Hukou passage. At this time, he was relieved, but Zhu Yuanzhang would not let him go. Zhu Yuanzhang has been beaten by Chen Youliang for many years, and he has long hated him, and he will be put to death. He led an army of more than 100,000 to chase him. When Chen Youliang heard the news, he came out and stood at the bow of the ship to direct the battle. At this moment, a cold arrow shot through his head. That's the end of it all! No, it shouldn't be like this, am I doing something wrong? After Chen Youliang died, Zhang Dingbian fulfilled his responsibility. He snatched back the bodies of Chen Youliang's sons, Chen Li and Chen Youliang, and brought them back to Wuchang. So far, the Battle of Poyang Lake, which lasted 36 days, ended with Zhu Yuanzhang's overall victory and Chen Youliang's overall defeat. This battle laid the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang to win the world.The Battle of Poyang Lake is also recorded in history as one of the most famous battles in Chinese history. For Zhu Yuanzhang's victory, the people living around naturally have their own set of explanations. Since the decisive battle took place in Kangshan, the people believed that the root cause of Chen Youliang's failure was the poor selection of the location. , jubilant", that's why Chen Youliang failed.If Chen Youliang knew about it, I'm afraid he would come back to life. Zhu Yuanzhang did not let Chen Youliang's descendant, Chen Li, even though he could not possibly pose any threat to Zhu Yuanzhang.It is important to cut the grass, but it is also necessary to remove the roots. In February of the twenty-fourth year of Zhiyuan (1364), Zhu Yuanzhang personally rushed to the place where Chen Li was located. Chen Youliang’s last site Wuchang supervised the battle. The coach Zhang Dingbian was indeed a veteran who seized the opportunity. Seeing that the situation was not good, he took Chen Li to surrender. up. Zhu Yuanzhang finally defeated his most troublesome enemy on the land of China, Chen Youliang. "The world is settled!" It is worth mentioning that Zhang Dingbian kept his loyalty to Chen Youliang to the end and partially fulfilled his sworn promise. He rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's appointment, went to do the work that Zhu Yuanzhang had done before, and became a monk. The irony is that he seemed to be fighting against Zhu Yuanzhang, and he lived until the fifteenth year of Yongle (1417) before he died at the age of one hundred. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, he lived for another twenty years.It can be regarded as revenge for Chen Youliang.You can learn from it. When you meet a person who hates you so much and want to take a knife to kill someone, use Zhang Dingbian's deeds to encourage yourself, don't get angry, cultivate yourself, and live longer than him. Let's look back at Chen Youliang's life and give him a fair evaluation: There is no doubt that Chen Youliang is a bad guy in the traditional sense, but in that troubled world, his behavior rules were the common choice at that time.If he wants to survive, this seems to be an inevitable choice. His mistake is to develop this law to the extreme.Until the point where he became obsessed, he was superstitious in violence and did not pay attention to the basic faith, which made him lose the hearts of the people. But he is also a real hero. He did all kinds of bad things, but he dared to do it (the later Zhu Yuanzhang also failed to do it). He has strong military and political talents. Compromise and persevere to the end. From this point of view, he is also a hero. Unfortunately, in this troubled world, he is just a hero, and the real hero is Zhu Yuanzhang. Some friends may have noticed that at this time Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the poor peasant beggar, he has become a landlord, how he became a landlord, which involves a historical law of feudal society, we need to explore one time. In the previous article, I have already mentioned that this article hopes to tell everyone about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and some institutional laws in a relaxed manner. Have a rational and regular awareness.There are many more after this discussion. Of course, I still use my narrative method. I believe that no matter how profound and abstract the law and institutional analysis can be expressed in popular language, let everyone share. In feudal society, after the successful peasant uprising, those peasant leaders who aimed to divide the land equally became big landlords.For thousands of years, history has been nothing more than the landlord surnamed Liu driving out the landlord surnamed Xiang, and the landlord surnamed Li replacing the landlord surnamed Yang, without exception.It seems to be a curse. To explain this problem, you can write a paper. The title of the paper should be "On the Change of Land Production Relations and the Subordination of Land Contracts after the Peasant Uprising". Of course, if you are interested in reading such an article, that is It's a question mark, so we'll explain it another way. For example, Zhang San, a peasant leader, gathered 30,000 people after the uprising and occupied a piece of land. He had to do one thing, which was to eat.Because the peasant uprising army is also an army and people, and they have to eat. How can they feed 30,000 people? At this time, Zhang San’s most direct solution should be to grab the food from the landlord’s house, but the problem is that the landlord’s house is not a bank. You can withdraw as much as you want from the ATM, and you have snatched up all the landlords, so what do you eat? The landlord (these two words must be pronounced with accent) has no food left! At this time, Zhang San only had land in his hands, and all the food had been eaten up, so he had to call the farmers, distribute the land to them, and then collect rent from them, so Zhang San, the leader of the farmers, became a land advocate. three. In feudal China, however, there was no other choice, either being a farmer or being a landlord. Merchant could certainly be another choice, but at that time merchants did not form an independent political force.They can't make their own political claims, and you can't go to a group of hungry peasants and ask them to fight for the rights of the merchants.Peasants in feudal society could not demand the implementation of capitalism. This tells us that behind every claim lies some kind of power or interest group.For example, real estate developers must say that housing prices will continue to rise, and telecommunications companies must say that their charges are very cheap.The peasants' claim can only be farming or rent collection. A famous historian said that the peasant uprising for two thousand years was just for a piece of land! Either a farmer or a landlord!There is no other choice!
