I Can Control My Ancestors

——The situation changed drastically.

If Wang Xianzhi’s sudden uprising was the first shot fired.

It completely made all the common people realize the possibility of resistance.

Then Huang Chao’s this time uprising.

Is telling the people of the world what it truly means to "man can conquer heaven"!

He indeed has been planning for too long, not only having the most basic manpower, but also his own heartfelt righteousness.

Just to elucidate what it means for man to conquer heaven!

But at the same time, this is also the most crucial thing now.

This is righteousness.

Of course, this is not just an empty slogan but is a true belief in Huang Chao’s heart.

Since the heavens don’t provide a way to live, then contend with heaven.

There aren’t too many profound reasons, it’s just for the struggle of a survival path.

That’s all.

...

The great chaos officially began on the land of Kyushu.

As the news continued to spread, countless people who had long been living on the brink of collapse had no other choice, and immediately followed one after another rebel hero to rise up.

Even if they were originally unwilling to rebel in their hearts.

But in the current situation, they had to make this choice.

Who doesn’t want to live?

In fact, for the lowest-ranking people, what they crave is not much, just a way to survive.

No matter how difficult life is, as long as it doesn’t let people starve to death.

For them, it can already be called a flourishing age.

The Gu Clan has always known this.

Generations have been struggling towards this goal.

But the pity is... others still turn a blind eye, and this has ultimately led to the current result.

News kept spreading.

For this so-called civil uprising, the court didn’t pay any attention at the beginning.

Faced with those ordinary people long used to seeing everyday, even if they had now raised butcher knives, to these people, it was just a trivial matter easily resolved.

They didn’t feel any sense of urgency.

Even in the court, this has led to an even more intense struggle.

This is the arrogance of those in power.

They instinctively would think that this rebellion, like previous ones, would be swiftly extinguished, unable to stir any waves.

But – all this was beyond all their expectations.

No one expected, Huang Chao’s manifesto, seemed like a stone breaking through a thousand layers of waves!

What it elicited was not only the resonance of thousands of commoners but also countless disappointed scholars with no prospects!

Don’t forget, the Gu Academy has been promoting "man can conquer heaven" for many years.

And these scholars all over the country were not just lackeys of the wealthy.

When Huang Chao set the tone for this rebellion, there was no need for him to deliberately promote it, and naturally, there would be scholars advocating for him.

Transforming it from "man can conquer heaven" to "man can conquer heaven".

Although the two are the same.

But the meaning had already changed invisibly.

And as scholars discreetly participated in this matter, this storm instantly was enough to overturn everything!

In just a few months.

There were already uprising armies everywhere in the country, Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi repeatedly defeated the Peacekeeping Army sent by the court, further adding to the chaos of the world.

And only at this time, did these people in the court finally feel the sense of crisis.

But the first solution they thought of.

Was nothing but bribery.

That’s right, bribery.

Perhaps years of complacency had made these people’s arrogance reach its peak, whether Wang Xianzhi or Huang Chao, they were seen as people who could be won over.

And this development was completely different from that in the original history.

Let alone how Huang Chao fared.

Even Wang Xianzhi wasn’t swayed by these people’s attempts to win him over.

But unfortunately, the two ultimately found it difficult to move forward together.

No choice, this is also human nature.

Although it was Wang Xianzhi who first rose up, amidst the world, Huang Chao’s influence grew louder.

This naturally brought about many problems.

The separation of the two in the current situation was also to prevent future internal strife.

This is the difference between them.

Not to mention Huang Chao.

The concept of man conquering heaven had already influenced Wang Xianzhi, making him take a path completely different from that in historical records.

And with this happening, the momentum of the rebels became louder.

...

The world fell into great chaos.

To such an extent now, the court had to make a response.

Edicts were issued one after another from Luoyang.

The core target naturally being Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.

These two were the key.

Wang Xianzhi was, after all, the first to raise the flag of rebellion, while Huang Chao was the one advocating that man can conquer heaven. Only by completely resolving these two could the increasingly tumultuous rebels be quelled.

And amidst such a scenario, the two sides engaged in a tug of war.

Whether it was Huang Chao or Wang Xianzhi.

They clearly understood the strength of the Tang Army, even though the fighting capability of the Tang Army had already diminished over the years, it was definitely not something that the instant rebels could compare with.

In this situation, they employed basic tactics.

Which was using their own flexibility to engage in a tug-of-war with the enemy.

In the third year of Qianfu, June.

Huang Chao avoided the encirclement by official troops and captured Yangzhai, Jia City, and eight other counties.
