In the first month of A.D.112/year, Song Huizong and Jin Taizu agreed to jointly attack the Liao country and prepare to recover the land originally belonging to the Song Dynasty. When he was preparing to send his troops, he suddenly heard that Hangzhou had been occupied by insurgents, and there was chaos in the southeast, so he had to give up the Northern Expedition plan first. So Song Huizong immediately ordered Tong Guan and others to go south to suppress. On 24th, Tong Guan led the army and Xiuzhou defenders to annihilate the Rebel Army, which was defeated and retreated to Hangzhou. On the seventh day of February, Song Jun failed to surrender, so he found a way to lure the rebel army. Sure enough, the rebel army was defeated. Fang La led the people to fight hard for several days, but in the end they were powerless. More than 70,000 insurgents were killed and Fang La himself was captured. However, the war of the peasant uprising army did not end, and it lasted until March 1 122.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the biggest peasant uprising was initiated by Fang La. At that time, land annexation was very serious, and the emperor and other court officials also exploited the people, and they lived a variety of extravagant and dissolute days. 1 1 14, Song Huizong also built Yanfu Palace and Long Live Mountain, which exhausted human and material resources. Song Huizong also advocates Taoism and wants to see all the treasures in the palace. So in order to arrange all kinds of exotic flowers and stones in the palace garden, a "Yingfeng Bureau" was set up in Suzhou to collect all kinds of flowers, carnations and exotic things in Jiangdong area and send them to Bianjing. No ten ships make up a class, which is the origin of the "Huashi class". Who has a unique stone at home and rushes in directly to paste yellow paper is considered "royal" in Zhao and Song Dynasties. If you see any strange flowers and trees, the same is true. When I met big flowers and trees, I tore down all the walls in people's homes and shipped them back to Bianjing. Sometimes they rob people's homes and then leave.
Originally, the income of Chengdu people was not good that year, and there was famine for years, and there was no economic income at home. As a result, the only valuable treasure in the family was confiscated by the royal family, and the lives of the people could not be lived. There were many bodies of people who starved to death along the way. The "petrochemical gang" increased the burden on the people and became the direct trigger of the Fang La uprising. Fang La himself is a working people at the bottom of society. He clearly knows how harsh Feng Ying's bureau is to the people, and he also knows the resentment in the hearts of every working people at the bottom. So he stood up and decided to organize everyone to fight against the corrupt Northern Song Dynasty. In this regard, a vigorous peasant uprising broke out at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Fang La Uprising was a peasant uprising at the end of Northern Song Dynasty, and the leader headed by Fang La represented the interests of the people. So, was the Fang La Uprising just? In nature, the Fang La Uprising was a class struggle against oppression, and a large number of people lived in dire straits all the year round at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. Evonne, Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, only knew pleasure, and put the whole country in the hands of rebels and thieves, and officials headed by Cai Jing took control of state affairs, which accelerated the corruption of the Northern Song Dynasty court. People live under the high-pressure policy all the year round, and have nowhere to complain, so they have to follow Fang La and other insurgents to rise up. From the starting point of Fang La Uprising, Fang La Uprising was a just war. The people at the bottom, led by Fang La, could not see the hope of the Northern Song Dynasty court, so they had to unite against the unequal life. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, land annexation was serious, and the powerful class seized the poor peasants' land and forced them to leave.
On the basis of having no land to cultivate, farmers have to bear heavy taxes. Fang La could not bear the oppression of the people by bureaucrats, so he had to call on the people to unite against the imperial court. In addition to the above reasons, is the Fang La Uprising just? Judging from the results of Fang La Uprising, although it ended in failure, Fang La Uprising was a folk movement with great influence among many peasant uprisings, which accelerated the disintegration of the corrupt court in the Northern Song Dynasty. Fang La Uprising dared to declare the ideals of the peasant class to the rulers. 1120th, Fang La led many people to revolt in Shexian county, and they denounced the Northern Song Dynasty under the slogan "No food for one day". Under the leadership of Fang La, the uprising members quickly reached tens of thousands.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, many peasant uprisings broke out among the people, the most representative of which were Sung River Uprising and Fang La Uprising. Judging from the results of these two uprisings, both Sung River Uprising and Fang La Uprising ended in failure. So why did the Fang La Uprising fail? Fang La Uprising is a peasant uprising in nature, which represents the dissatisfaction of the lower class peasants with politics and economy. Throughout history, countless peasant uprisings almost ended in failure. The root cause of the failure of the peasant uprising is the limitations of the peasant class. Fang La is an idealistic and ambitious man. Because I didn't like the dark rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, I called on the people to rise up and resist. Fang La's genius is that he recruited the uprising masses in the name of Manichaeism, so in a very short time, Fang La convened a large number of uprising main forces. Although Fang La gained a large number of supporters, the Fang La Uprising failed in a short time. The reason is that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, although the country's comprehensive national strength was poor, it did not reach the point where the people were in poverty. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty imperial court invested a lot of manpower and material resources to suppress peasant uprisings everywhere. Shortly after the outbreak of the Fang La Uprising, it was strongly suppressed by the Northern Song Dynasty, so it ended in failure.
The failure of Fang La Uprising also lies in the limitations of leaders such as Fang La. Under the planning of Fang La, the uprising did not develop in the expected direction. They thought it would take a long time for the imperial court to mobilize troops. What they didn't expect was that the Northern Song court quickly mobilized150,000 troops and caught the rebels off guard. Although the Fang La Uprising Army had a million troops, it had no combat experience and was quickly defeated by the elite Song Jun.
