A strange thing happened in Hunyuan Prefecture of Datong Prefecture, a strange thing where a loyal man kneeled down and a traitor fell.
This matter is a long story, and we have to start after the Manchus entered the customs.
When the Manchu and Qing Dynasties entered the customs, the traitor Hunyuan Zhizhou Rong Erqi assisted the Zhou Dynasty and brutally suppressed the loyal ministers and righteous men who were loyal to Mingzuo. This angered Fang Shan, a righteous man from Baofengzhai in Xiliu Township, Hunyuan. Fang Shan was originally a member of the Ming Dynasty clan, his original name was Zhu Yongqing, and the Qing army occupied
After arriving in Shanxi, he changed his surname to Fang with his uncle. He practiced martial arts since he was a child and was good at using two guillotines. He was nicknamed: "Iron-armed Fangshan". He angrily raised an army and killed Rong Erqi. He also responded to Jiang Xiang and captured Yingzhou.
.
Dorgon saw that the rebel army was strong and sent Azig to attack Hunyuan.
There was Fang Shan, waving his guillotine with both hands, and where the sword flashed, heads rolled; when the roar came, the enemy's corpses fell to the ground; he pointed to the north and killed countless enemies. The Qing army was besieged for several months before they captured Hunyuan City, and Fang Shan died in the battle
.Because of the heavy losses, Azig was angry and massacred the city. Fifty thousand soldiers and civilians were all killed.
In order to undermine the will of loyal ministers and righteous men to resist, the Qing court ordered that a seated statue of the traitor Ron Erqi be cast in Hunyuan Nangong, and a kneeling statue of Fang Shan be cast, so that Fang Shan would kneel in front of Ron Erqi day and night.
/p>
This kneeling lasted eight years.
It is said that if a loyal minister kneels down to a traitor, he should be struck by five thunderbolts. But Nangong is actually fine. In eight years, he has never been struck by a single thunderbolt.
If the sky doesn’t bomb, people will smash it.
On this day, Hunyuan Wuju Zhang Yong (the same name as the Qing general Zhang Yong) got drunk and asked several martial arts drinkers with him: "Why do we learn martial arts?"
My friend Zhao Jie said: "Of course it is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
"Hold on!"
Zhang Yong shouted: "As a member of the Ming Dynasty, Master Wang has already marched north to Shanxi. Why don't we rise up and respond to Master Wang?"
"Oh, Brother Zhang, this is no joke." Zhao Jie was shocked. "Have you forgotten that 50,000 people in Hunyuan were massacred during the Fangshan Uprising eight years ago? To this day, the statue of Fangshan is still there in the Nangong Palace.
"Kneeling, the statue of Ronger".
Zhang Yong was extremely angry: "Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie, you still have the nerve to talk about the tragic events of that year. Are your brothers and sister-in-law not among those who were killed?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jie's face turned red, "Brother Zhang, why do you need to provoke me? I am also bloody!"
Zhang Yong actually didn't drink too much, he was just testing the waters with alcohol. He had already had the intention of revolting, and the people he invited had family members who were killed in the massacre that year, and they were friends who could win over him for the uprising. Even so.
, still ambushed the slaves in the house, and if they refused, they would kill them.
"Okay!"
Zhang Yong said hello and said to everyone: "You are bloody, do you dare to follow me to Nangong and smash those two iron statues?"
"Why don't you dare?" everyone shouted in unison.
Zhang Yong knows very well that these friends of his are all local wealthy families with big businesses, so he is a little worried if they are asked to revolt directly; but if they smash an iron statue, he is not so worried.
When everyone came to Nangong, the guards at the temple saw that all the people who came were respectable people, and they greeted them with smiles, "Are you gentlemen here to offer incense to Rong Zhizhou?"
While asking, I was surprised. Since the Qing court erected a statue to the traitor Rong Erqi, except for a group of officials, very few people came to offer incense. What happened today? So many people came all at once!
Zhang Yong sneered, "We feel that Rong Erqi is the second minister and Fang Shan is Zhongliang. It is unjust to let Zhongliang kneel down and become the second minister! Therefore, today we are here to dismantle the statue!"
"What!"
The officer was shocked, and before he could react, Zhang Yong rushed forward with his big fist. As expected of a martial artist, he knew which parts of the human body were weak, and he punched his chin squarely, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Tear it down for me!"
Everyone started to take apart and smash them together, turning the two iron statues into scrap metal.
"Gentlemen, Hunyuan is the hometown of loyalty and righteousness, but the painful incident of loyal ministers kneeling down is really hateful! I suggest that these scrap iron be melted, cast into a bell, and hung in the City God's Temple to warn the world.
How?" Zhang Yong asked.
“Very good!”
At this time, everyone was already seven or eight points drunk and had a taste of it. Although the demolition of the temple did not directly lead to an uprising, the political significance was of great importance. No, this is causing big trouble!
Zhang Yong winked at the domestic slave who had been arranged outside the door.
The man immediately stumbled in and said, "Gentlemen, it's not good! Wanzhizhou heard that the gentlemen demolished Nangong and said it was a rebellion. They have sent people to arrest the gentlemen and ransack their homes for questioning!"
Wanzhizhou refers to Wan Zicheng, the Zhizhou of Hunyuan in the Qing Dynasty. This is a "good official" who is filial to his parents, loves the people, and does not impose excessive taxes. He has been in Hunyuan for more than four years, but it has made the lives of the local people easier. This is actually
This caused great trouble for Zhang Yong's uprising. The more corrupt officials are rampant in a place, the easier it is for an uprising; the more "good officials" control a place, the more difficult it is for an uprising. With no other option, Zhang Yong was forced to come up with the idea of demolishing the temple.
One move.
"Gentlemen, the Qing army is already arresting people. You must not sit back and wait for death. Follow me and start an attack quickly!" Zhang Yong shouted.
"Trouble!"
"Get your clothes back!"
"Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
The domestic slaves who had already arranged it shouted.
Several of Zhang Yong's friends were all local wealthy families and were very powerful. It would be a big deal to start a rebellion together, and soon more than a thousand people gathered.
Hunyuan Zhizhou Wan Zicheng was not aware of it and was handling official business in the state government office. In the morning, he also inspected the growth of the wheat fields. The weather is getting warmer this year, and the harvest in the fields is good. The people should be able to have a good year! Thinking of this, his face showed
Show a happy smile.
Suddenly I heard a commotion in the state government office, "Kill the imperial officials" and "Restore the Ming Dynasty"??
Zhang Yong came in to fight, raised his knife and dropped it, and the "good official" rolled over on his head.
After occupying Hunyuan Prefecture, Zhang Yong's rebel army expanded to 3,000 people. He led the rebel army to surround Yingzhou, directly threatening the rear of Yanmen Pass.
??
The battle of Yanmen Pass has been going on for more than half a month. In order to claim credit from Fan Youxian, Ren Liang personally attacked the pass, and his subordinates Wang Jinying, Guo Yan, Wang Quan, and Bashanhu generals all served. He had captured all the strongholds outside the pass and stormed the city.
.
Fan Youxian also ordered gunners, archers, and gunmen to shoot at the pass to cover the rebels' entry.
"Brothers, it's time to break through!"
Ren Liang's general Wang Quan jumped onto the wall, and then Bashan Tiger also climbed onto the wall.
Zhu Yike, the deputy general of Datong in the Qing Dynasty, secretly shouted: It's over! He didn't have many troops around him at this time, so it was difficult to launch a counterattack and drive the Ming army down the city.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
Suddenly, after hearing a shout from his subordinates, a group of Qing troops entered Guancheng from the siege.
The one who came was Ma Mingpei’s favorite general, the supervising general Wu Shouzu, followed by Ma Mingpei.
Wu Shouzu was able to be selected by Ma Mingpei as a supervising general because of his good archery skills. When he came to the pass, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot Wang Quan's neck with one arrow.
Then they counterattacked against the rebels. Seeing that the situation was not good, Bashan Hu withdrew from the city.
"Duke Xian, if you don't come again, I will leave you here," Zhu Yike sobbed.
Ma Mingpei said with a smile: "The governor has spent some time recruiting garrison camps from various counties these days." It turned out that Ma Mingpei saw that he had few soldiers, so he expanded the garrison camps from Shanyin, Mayi, and Shuozhou counties into the army, and assigned the supervisory standard to the army.
The number was expanded from 5,000 to 7,000 and was delayed for some days while waiting for garrison camps in various places.
Under the pass wall, Ren Liang apologized to Fan Youxian, "General, I am incompetent and failed to capture Yanmen Pass."
"I have seen it all. If the reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty had not come, Guancheng would have been defeated. I don't blame you for this battle." After saying this, Fan Youxian comforted Ren Liang with a gentle smile. This warm and gentle smile
, exactly the same as Emperor Guangwu Zhu Hengjia.
Seeing Fan Youxian's kind smile, Ren Liang was inexplicably moved. I was a bandit, and I suffered a defeat. Instead of blaming me, the general did not blame me, but comforted me with kind words. My father and mother are not as close as the general.
