Chapter 46 Cao Cao, Cao Zhi, the winner!(2/2)
But is this the truth?
No.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising was said to be a peasant uprising, and it was said to have cracked down on foreign invasion, but in fact, it was nothing.
This is an unbiased evil [cultural] organization.
First of all, because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, the Qing Dynasty lost its attention, and the British and French coalition forces also captured Beijing during this period and seized the Old Summer Palace. The land of 1.5 million square kilometers in the northeast and northwest was also cut off by Tsarist Russia during this period.
Moreover, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising, China died of 80 million people, which is a number that the population losses of all peasant uprisings in Chinese history are even greater.
Why did so many people die?
This is because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has many punishments, such as lighting a sky lantern, dismembering the body of five horses, and executing the death of Lingchi...
Moreover, when the Taiping Army captured a place, Hong Xiuquan would massacre the city and kill millions of people.
There were 3,000 emperors and beauties, 14 concubines with famous names in Emperor Xianfeng, and 88 Hong Xiuquan, not including women without names. According to later research and investigation, there were more than 1,000 people in Hong Xiuquan's harem, so that after conquering Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan ignored the government affairs.
Because he was busy with lewd fun with his concubines and beauties.
And these history cannot be seen in textbooks.
Why?
This is because of the needs of the times, and history was written by the victors. As a new regime that revolts at the same time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising must be good even if it is not good.
Cao Chong took a deep breath. He knew that even if his methods were now, the later generations could only study history books to discover the history of this era.
And history is written by the winner.
Cao Chong's eyes flashed with gleam. He knew in his heart that after Cao Zhi was eliminated, his competition with Cao Pi would not only not ease, but would become more intense.
Cao Pi is not Cao Zhi. If Cao Chong is conservative, he will be eaten without any bones.
Just like today.
Cao Chong made up his mind secretly.
