The causes of Sung River Uprising and Fang La Uprising all originated from the extravagance of Song Huizong. Hui Zong is very talented. He can be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, cuju, hunting and garden architecture, especially calligraphy, and he also created his own? Thin and golden? , very powerful. However, the only thing that Hui Zong is not good at is governing the country, but Hui Zong's interest is very expensive and material-consuming. In addition, the Song Dynasty paid tribute to the old coins of Liao and Xia countries every year, and the Song court suffered a serious deficit.
In order to subsidize the fiscal deficit, Hui Zong nationalized Liangshan, Shui Bo in 800 miles, cutting off the economic sources of Song Jiang and others. In desperation, Song Jiang had to lead thirty-six brave men to rise up in Liangshan at the end of the first year of Huizong Xuanhe (119) to resist the exploitation and oppression of the Song court.
Hui Zong also collects anthotaxa in the south and makes excuses to levy heavy taxes. Although Jiangnan is a land of plenty, it can't stop the blackmail of the imperial court. Although Fang La's family has a paint garden, they can barely get by, but they have long resented the court's extortion, not to mention the ordinary poor. Therefore, Fang La, which has gained considerable prestige among the poor, quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of people with a cry and erected the banner of the October Uprising in Xuanhe two years (1 120).
In terms of time, Fang La Uprising was nearly a year later than Sung River Uprising. Who put down the Sung River Uprising and the Fang La Uprising? Is it really that Sung River was wooed and then suppressed the Fang La Uprising?
According to the story in the Water Margin, Sung River was wooed and ordered to lead Liangshan heroes to conquer Fang La. After a bitter struggle, Fang La was captured alive, the Fang La Uprising Army was pacified, and most Liangshan heroes were injured and weak.
"Water Margin" is not completely unreasonable.
"Song history according to? According to the Biography of Hou Meng, Hou Meng wrote to Song Huizong, saying: When the ginger is counted as 36, it will be superior to the Wei Dynasty. Today, there was a thief in Qingxi (Fang La rose up in Qingxi). Without forgiving Jiang, he begged Fang La to be redeemed. ? Inferred from here, the Song court should be trying to win over Song Jiang and take Fang La and Song Jiang hostage, while the court took advantage of the fisherman. However, this is only Hou Meng's suggestion, and the novel only fictionalizes the story of Song Zheng Jiang and Fang La based on a few words in The History of Song Dynasty and some records in unofficial history.
In fact, Fang La was captured in April of the third year of Xuanhe. In February of that year, Sung River led an army to attack Haizhou (near Lianyungang), and Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Haizhou, ambushed and surrounded Sung River rebels. Desperate, Song Jiang surrendered and accepted the harness. According to Song Jianglian Zhang Shuye can't win, Song Jiangjun can't suppress Fang La alone, but it is possible for Song Jiang to recruit Fang La to gather people and help the momentum.
Who suppressed the Fang La Uprising? The elite main force of the song dynasty.
Although Sung River Uprising was one year earlier than Fang La Uprising, its influence was very limited. At its strongest, it only occupied cities in more than a dozen counties. Then, it was defeated by Zhang Shuye. Because of Song Jiang's limited influence, the Song court did not assemble too many troops to besiege Song Jiang.
However, Fang La's treatment is completely different. Although the Fang La Uprising only lasted less than a year, in a very short time, the insurgents broke through six states, occupied fifty-two counties, beheaded and captured many officials and commanders in the Song Dynasty. Compare Sung River Uprising and Fang La Uprising. Song Jiang is simply a pediatrician. If the Song Dynasty didn't assemble troops to suppress Fang La, I'm afraid Jiangnan would belong to Fang La. Therefore, the Hui Sect made a luxurious lineup to suppress the Fang La Uprising.
Song Huizong appointed Tong Guan as Fu Xuan's ambassador to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Tan Zhen as the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang. Soldiers divided into two roads, all the way to Hangzhou, all the way to Zhangzhou, and the two armies finally joined forces in Zhou Mu. Tong Guan and Tan Zhen's men can be said to be the elite of Song Jun. In addition to hundreds of central imperial soldiers, they also deployed tens of thousands of border guards with strong fighting capacity to participate in the war. * * * There are also more than 200,000 troops attacking Fang La.
In addition, in the battle of the square, Song Jun is also famous. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong took part in the war. During the Song and Jin Wars, Wu Jun, a famous soldier who held fast to Sichuan and Shaanxi and repelled the Jin Army several times, was also ordered to take part in the encirclement and suppression. During the Jingkang Rebellion, General Wang Bing, who fought against 8 Jin Jun in Taiyuan City and finally committed suicide, was defeated by Fang La by the East Route Army under the command of Tong Guan, recovered several cities such as Hangzhou, and went all the way to his hometown in Fang La, Qingxi County. In the Jingkang Rebellion, Yao Ye, who led the marked army (the western border guards who fought Xixia in the Song Dynasty) to rescue the capital, led the army into suppression. In the Song Dynasty, in order to save future generations, the family was involved in pacifying Fang La first, and then in pacifying Sung River. In addition, there are Guo Zhongxun, Qiu of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong's old superior, and generals such as Xin Xingzong, Yang and Liu Zhen.
Under the siege of Song Jun, Fang La retreated to Bangyuan Cave in Qingxi County, the stronghold of the uprising. At this time, there were more than 200,000 insurgents in Fang La, fighting loyalist and being defeated by loyalist again. Fang La was completely surrounded by Song Jun, and Han Shizhong overheard the way into Bangyuan Cave and led his troops into the cave. Kill dozens of people, and bird wax will come out? .
Fang La was captured in April of the third year of Xuanhe, then taken to Kaifeng City in the capital of song dynasty, and executed in August of the same year. The vigorous Fang La Uprising ended in failure.
