Chapter 27 The murderous Fang La brother and sister
Chapter 27: The murderous Fang La brother and sister
Fang La lied about being entrusted with orders from heaven and received a talisman from heaven, claiming to be "Holy Duke". He used the crusade against Zhu Meng as a call to eradicate all corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous era of clean government.
Fang La and the other heroes raised the wine bowl together and drank it all in one gulp. They all smashed the empty bowls to the ground.
According to the decree of Saint Gong Fangla, these more than a hundred poor young farmers picked up the farm tools such as manure forks, hoes, and hatchets that they used to work in, and rushed to the home of Fang Youchang, the "Lizheng" of the village.
……
Fang La believed that every time the Zaozuo Bureau sent officials to the village to extort money from him and the villagers and take property by force, they would always be there to accompany them.
In fact, there was nothing the villager could do about it. How could he dare to defy the officials of the Zaozuo Bureau who claimed to be ordered by the emperor to expropriate Hua Shi Gang?
If Fang Youchang disobeys, not to mention that this is not legal, and he will not be able to survive, there will be only death, and even the whole family of more than 40 will be punished.
Therefore, there is always a normal life in this village. When the Zaozuo Bureau sent officials to collect flowers and stones, he had to accompany them.
However, Fang La didn't care about this. In addition to being a person who must take revenge, he also had a deeper purpose in planning to kill Li Zhengfang Youchang, a member of his own clan.
Today, Fang La wants to kill more than 40 members of Fang Youchang's family in the village. Not only will he be able to hold a flag and establish his own prestige, he will also be able to tie all the poor peasants under him who have bad intentions to him.
Sharing adversity on the same rope.
That is to say, the hundreds of poor farmers who Fang Larang followed him in the uprising all had human lives on their hands, and they were convicted of rebellion.
Then, it will be absolutely impossible for them to break away from the rebel army and go home to live a peaceful life as farmers. The government will definitely not let them go.
When Fang La and his sister Fang Baihua led a team of more than a hundred people, they arrived in front of the closed door of Fang Youchang's house in 'Lizheng' and blocked the door.
In Zhengfang Youchang, there is a big family with four generations living under one roof. A total of four large houses with blue bricks and red tiles are built inside the high courtyard wall to accommodate the family of more than 40 people, men, women, old and young.
Fang La's gangsters clamored for Fang Youchang to come out and apologize.
After Fang Youchang's family heard that there were such troublemakers blocking the door of their home, they were too frightened to open the courtyard door...
Fang Youchang is in his fifties, about ten years older than Fang La. In terms of seniority, he is still Fang La's distant cousin.
Before the Huashi Gang was collected from Southeast, Fang Youchang was quite prestigious in this village.
However, after the imperial court began to set up a Zaozao Bureau in the southeast to collect flowers and stones, the officials from the Zaozao Bureau often came to Qixian Village, which they later changed its name to, forcing Li Zhengfang to lead the way, and extorting money and flowers from house to house...
…
As a result, the whole village hated Li Zhengfang Youchang.
However, Li Zhengfang had nothing to do. He had long since stopped doing such offending things as Li Zheng. However, the government did not approve his resignation and said that if he dared to mention his resignation again, it would be regarded as non-cooperation.
Zhao Guan's family was responsible for running the emperor's mission. This was a crime of genocide for disobeying the imperial edict...
Therefore, Fang Youchang had no choice but to bite his back molars, swallow hard, and continue to do the good deeds of Qixian Village, which both affected and offended the villagers.
At this time, Fang Youchang was also in the house and heard the noise outside the courtyard.
After he inquired about the situation, he felt that it might be that the villagers, led by Fang La, the master of Qiyuan, came to his courtyard with the strength of alcohol, drank like crazy and vented their anger about the exorbitant taxes, unpaid labor, and being raped in the past few days.
It’s just Zhenghua Shigang’s dissatisfaction.
Fang Youchang originally wanted to go out of the courtyard and explain his difficulties to the drunken villagers as requested by Fang La and others...
However, Fang Youchang was stopped by his eldest son, who refused to let him out of the gate, and told them that the mob outside the courtyard wall was very dangerous, and they must not open the courtyard door, let alone go out to see Fang La's brother and sister who had practiced martial arts since childhood.
The rebels led by...
Fang Youchang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "My son, do you know that our courtyard wall is no more than one person high, and the courtyard door is no more than two pine doors.
Even if my father doesn't go out to meet the hundreds of remnants brought by Fang La's brother and sister, can't they jump over the wall and break through the courtyard door?
Therefore, as a father, no matter what, I have to go out and meet my "virtuous" nephew Fang La!
As a father, Fang La's brother and sister and the rebellious people knew each other with emotion and moved with reason. Chen Ming, as his father, was also forced by the officials of the Zaozuo Bureau to collect taxes and send villagers to do corvee work, but he was not allowed to do so! p>
Then, we give all our wealth to the Fang La brothers and sisters and the rebels, maybe we can save the lives of my family of more than 40 people, old and young."
After saying this, he stood up resolutely, opened the door, and strode towards the front yard.
At this time, his eldest son carried two wooden sticks and ran to catch up with his father Fang Youchang, saying:
"Dad, you should always take a wooden stick to defend yourself! I also have a wooden stick here. I will carry the wooden stick by your side to protect you!"
"Nonsense!" Fang Youchang scolded: "Ah Da, you are already thirty-three years old, why do you act without thinking?"
"Dad!" Fang Ada was as confused as a monk Zhang Er. He asked in confusion: "Don't I want to protect our family?"
"Nonsense! You and I went out to see Brother Fang La with a wooden stick. All I could do was anger them and the mob, and the consequences would be disastrous!" Fang Youchang sighed:
"Even if all the adult men in my family come out to greet them with weapons in hand, there are only thirteen of them. How can they defeat more than a hundred young and powerful rebels?
What's more, let alone the thirteen men in my family who can't defeat the mob, even if we go together, we can't defeat the two Fang La brothers and sisters who are superb in martial arts!"
Fang Ada said with a bitter face: "What Dad said makes sense!"
Fang Youchang let out a long sigh and said, "Ah Da, throw away the stick!
My father went out to meet the Fang La brothers and sisters, hoping that they would remember that they and I are of the same bloodline as the Fang family, and let our family go this time. Let our family of forty-three people, both young and old, live. They can take out the money at will!"
Fang Ada obeyed his father's words, threw the two wooden sticks for self-defense in the backyard, and followed his father Fang Youchang in fear...
When Fang and his son came to the front yard, they saw that the two pine gate courtyard doors had been knocked open by the troubled people.
Fang La, Fang Baihua, brother and sister, led more than a hundred rioters armed with dung forks, hoes, and wooden sticks, and had already poured into the front yard. Their six sons, except Fang Ada, were confronting each other!
Fang Youchang hurriedly smiled, walked quickly to Fang La, cupped his hands and said, "Nephew Fang Xian, what kind of fuss is going on?!"
Fang La held a big knife and sneered with a slight crooked mouth: "Old man, you are just a running dog of Zhu Meng's fabrication bureau!
What Fang is waiting for is for you to come out and watch helplessly as we kill your whole family!"
"No good nephew!" Fang Youchang turned pale with fright and shouted: "You and I share the same ancestry and are descendants of the Fang family, how can we kill each other?
If my nephew can spare my family of forty-three, I am willing to spend all my family wealth to repay him!
What's more, if you gather a crowd to cause trouble, if the government finds out, you can be convicted and imprisoned!
I would like to advise my nephew to disperse these villagers quickly to avoid being convicted and imprisoned..."
Fang La's eyes were fierce, he raised the knife and chopped off Fang Youchang's left arm, blood splattered from the broken wall...
"Ah!" Fang Youchang screamed repeatedly in pain. He suddenly collapsed on the ground.
This was the first time in his life that Fang Ada had seen such a fast knife, and the inhumane violent maniac Fang La. He bit him to pieces with hatred
Rao Ya, swung his fist and hit Fang La's temple hard.
Fang La didn't dodge at all, and swung his knife across Fang Ada's neck...
With a "pop" sound, Fang Ada's head on his neck rolled to the ground. A large amount of bright red and viscous liquid erupted from his headless neck like a volcano...
Fang Youchang's other sons saw that their father and brother suddenly suffered a tragic accident. They immediately took sticks and went to Fang La to fight...
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Before her brother Fang La could take action, Fang Baihua pierced the throats of Fang Youchang's two sons with the swords in her hands, and two streams of blood gushed out, like small red fountains...

[ps]: Fang La’s bloodthirsty aspect is recorded in historical records. These chapters of this article basically restore the original appearance of Fang La’s actions in history.
Source of information: "Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records, "(Fang La) destroyed six prefectures and fifty-two counties, killing two million civilians. The women who were plundered escaped from thieves' holes and were hanged naked in the forest.
Looking at each other for more than a hundred miles."
Although there may be elements in the history books that deliberately discredit the Fang La Uprising, the brutality of the Fang La Rebel Army should be a historical reality.
The Fang La Rebel Army did not really win the hearts and minds of the people and did not receive the support of the general public. Is this also an important reason for the ultimate failure of the uprising?
