Subsequently, he went around raiders, active in Hebei and Shandong, and successively raided more than ten state armies. In the third year of Xuanhe (1 12 1), in February, when Song Jiang and others attacked Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), they were defeated by Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Haizhou, and Song Jiang and others surrendered.
At the beginning of 1 100, Song Zhezong died. He had no son, and the throne was succeeded by Song Shenzong's son Evonne, namely Song Huizong.
Song Huizong is an extremely absurd emperor. He has six ministers, including Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan and Zhu CuO. These six people manipulated the political power and colluded with each other, specializing in some activities that endangered the people. People hate them very much and call them "six thieves".
Song Huizong likes to live a luxurious life. Cai Jing catered to his wishes, put forward the slogan of "Richness and splendor", which means abundance, prosperity, happiness and extravagance, and built a palace. The wealth accumulated for many years in the Northern Song Dynasty was quickly squandered.
He also sent Zhu to the south of the Yangtze River to look for exotic flowers, exotic plants, strange stones and precious items. As long as ordinary people have flowers, trees and stones to enjoy at home, they are all taken away by name. In the process of handling, the officials demolished the house and destroyed the wall without mercy. So, destroyed countless people. Zhu transported the collected flower stones to Tokyo by a large number of ships, and every ten ships formed a class, which was called the flower stone class. The boatmen also bullied the people and harassed the residents on both sides of the canal.
Officials forced the people to revolt. During the reign of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were Song Jiang in the north and Fang La in the south, who rose up in succession and rebelled against the imperial court.
When you mention Song Jiang, everyone will think of the heroic image in Water Margin. But after all, the novel is not equal to history, and the characters and plots in the novel are not exactly the same as the Sung River Uprising in history.
In Liangshan County, Shandong Province, there is a Liangshan, and there is a big lake near Liangshan called Liangshan Bo. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River burst twice, and the river flowed into this lake, and the river surface expanded a lot, reaching 800 miles in Fiona Fang. The local people make a living by fishing, catching shrimps and collecting cattail tails in the lake.
During the Song Huizong period, when the government saw that the water margin was profitable, it was nationalized, and farmers who caught fish and shrimp had to pay taxes by boat. The annual tax revenue of the government is more than RMB 10 million. Many farmers can't afford to pay such a heavy ancestral tax and can't live. Under the leadership of Song Jiang, they embarked on the road of uprising.
The leader of Liangshan peasant uprising, * * * has 36 people. It is said that they are all very capable people. The number of rebels is estimated to be at least several thousand. Due to the lack of records in historical books, the exact figures cannot be verified.
By AD 1 1 19, Liangshan Uprising had flourished to such an extent that even the imperial court was shaken. Song Huizong courted Sung River, but Sung River ignored it.
The following year, the rebels fought in Liangshan, and now they are fighting in Shandong, Hebei and northern Jiangsu, attacking feudal landlords and bureaucrats everywhere. Song Huizong sent people to suppress it, but the rebels intensified in the Vietnam War. They used mobile tactics to beat the loyalist, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
At this moment, the Fang La Uprising took place in the south. Suddenly he reported, "Song Jiang led thirty-six people and tens of thousands of confidants, and no one dared to refuse. It is better to surrender to Song Jiang and ask him to fight Fang La. "
Song Huizong was very happy, so he sent Hou Meng to handle the surrender. However, Hou Meng fell ill and died before going.
1 12 1 In February, Song Huizong ordered Zhang Shuye, a local official in Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), to suppress and surrender Song Jiang. Zhang Shuye sent people to spy on the movements of the insurgents and learned that the insurgents had captured more than a dozen ships carrying goods in Haizhou. Zhang Shuye set an ambush in advance to lure the rebels to fight at the seaside.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the loyalist who was lying in ambush at the seaside suddenly grabbed the boat and set it on fire. At this time, other loyalists lying in ambush nearby were also killed and surrounded the rebels. The rebels had no choice but to surrender to the Song Dynasty. After the failure of Sung River Uprising, the Northern Song Dynasty concentrated on Fang La Uprising.
Fang La was born in Shexian County, Anhui Province, and later moved to Qingxi County, Zhejiang Province, where he worked as a long-term laborer. Qingxi is the hardest hit area harassed by "Huashigang". This area is rich in cash crops such as bamboo, wood and lacquer tea. Zhu constantly sent people to collect bamboo, wood, flowers and stones, and took the opportunity to extort money.
People can't stand such cruel exploitation and oppression. Fang La was very angry when he saw this. He often meets some poor farmers in Gangyuan Cave, deep in the valley, and plans uprisings.
On the 9th day of October, AD 1 120, Fang La convened more than 1,000 poor peasants in Bangyuandong Lacquer Garden and called on the masses to revolt.
He complained angrily to everyone: "The country is the same as the home. If the younger generations work hard all the year round, weave hard and accumulate a little bit of cloth, they will all be used up by their fathers and brothers. Father and brother were slightly dissatisfied, and they also beat and abused the younger generation, and even abused them to death. You say, can you bear it willingly? Everyone said angrily, "No!" Fang La added, "Now we are so cold and hungry that we can't even eat a full meal. What did you say?/Sorry? Everyone shouted excitedly, "I am at your command!" "
At that time, the masses were very excited, and everyone was willing to follow Fang La's uprising. Under the call of Fang La, a peasant uprising broke out.
The news spread, and poor farmers in nearby counties responded in succession. In a few days, the uprising team grew to tens of thousands. 1 1 At the beginning of the month, Fang La began to establish political power. He called himself a "sage" and named the year "Yongle". The rebels are gaining momentum.
The local government was very shocked. Two generals in charge of local military affairs quickly led five thousand troops to suppress. Fang La set an ambush and wiped out all five thousand loyalists at once.
The insurgents marched into Qingxi County. In just three months, the foundation stone was laid in Zhangzhou, Hangzhou and other six States and fifty-two counties. The rebel army has also rapidly developed to a million people, and its momentum is very huge, shaking the whole southeast.
Song Huizong quickly sent Tong Guan to lead150,000 troops to suppress. When the army set out, Song Huizong said to Tong Guan with a sad face, "I'll leave the southeast to you!"
Tong Guanbing is divided into two roads, one to Hangzhou and the other to Hangzhou. Although the rebels are numerous, they lack combat experience and weapons. Therefore, the insurgents suffered heavy casualties, and many counties fell into the hands of loyalists.
In February of A.D.112/year, Fang La led some insurgents to retreat to Bangyuan Cave in Qingxi County and continue to fight bravely. The loyalist couldn't clear the path of Qingyuan Cave and couldn't get in.
Then spies appeared in the uprising army. Loyalist spies led the way, played in, and Fang La was captured alive. In August this year, Fang La was escorted to Tokyo and died heroically.
