"A one-eyed stone man stirred up the Yellow River to rebel against the world." This was a remark made by the Red Scarf Army in the late Yuan Dynasty.
? This year, the White Cat levee of the Yellow River was flooded, and the court sent some officials to do flood control and disaster relief work. When officials arrived in the local area, they gathered a group of migrant workers and began to work, but migrant workers were often hungry and never had enough to eat. It turned out that these shameless government officials deducted everyone's salary and put it into their own pockets, which made the migrant workers who worked unbearable and cursed. Han intended to seize this good opportunity to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, so he secretly told the migrant workers around him: "A one-eyed stone man provoked the Yellow River to oppose the world." Migrant workers have never read a book and don't know what it is for, so they go on foolishly. Suddenly one day, a group of migrant workers wheezed out a one-eyed stone man from the bottom of the river, and this group of migrant workers suddenly remembered Han's rambling words.
After that, everyone believed that the Yuan Dynasty was extinct, and this little trick played by Han made the enthusiasm of the uprising soar again. Later, Han, together with his friends, lied that he was a descendant of the royal family of Da Song to lead the people to recover the Yuan Dynasty. The people were very happy to hear this, and finally hoped that someone would come to save them, so they raised the banner of the uprising. However, later, because someone accidentally leaked the news, Han was caught by the court and the outcome was undoubtedly death. After that, Liu Futong and a group of people continued to rebel, because their heads were covered with red cloth, so they were called the Red Scarf Army. Under the hatred of the ruling class, the number of these troops quickly climbed to more than100000. The scale of the rebel army scared the emperor's legs. He quickly sent troops to suppress it, but they were all beaten by the Red Scarf Army and went back to kowtow to the emperor.
Liu Futong's Red Scarf Army became stronger and stronger, and successively captured several cities. Landlords and God of Wealth everywhere heard that Liu Futong was a terrible figure, and they also made friends with him. At this time, in addition to Liu Futong's team, some insurgents were also resisting the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, among which Zhang Shicheng's team was a very famous one. At that time, Zhang Shicheng was fighting in Gaoyou, and the emperor sent someone to Gaoyou to kill him. But the war was in full swing and the court was in chaos. The prime minister who led the troops in the war was dismissed, and the Yuan army set up a leader, which naturally dispersed. What kind of fighting happened?
Liu Futong took advantage of this opportunity to kill the scattered Yuan Army. Later, his son Han Liner became the little emperor of Bozhou. After that, Liu and his son continued to fight in the south and north, and they had a good time. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty panicked at this time. He quickly ordered the soldiers to go to the Anti-Japanese War and recruited Zhang Shicheng's troops with benefits. 1363, under the joint suppression of Yuan Army and Zhang Shicheng Army, the Red Scarf Army led by Liu and his son finally failed.
