So many social conflicts have been brewing Dayuan's fragile ecosystem Finally collapsed under the wrath of Mother River After 11 years of hard work, the iron pot mentality exploded From now on it started to go bad From the number one male protagonist to the background Starting from this issue Dayuan officially entered troubled times Let us first introduce the overall situation of the Yuan Dynasty As early as 1333, before Emperor Yuan Shun ascended the throne, Popular rebellions have occurred frequently in various places And showing a situation of echo between the north and the south Hainan Guangxi Guangdong Fujian Hunan Yunnan Chongqing Along the Yangtze River Henan Shandong Hebei Large-scale popular uprisings occurred in Tubo Later, even the people in the grasslands and metropolitan areas Everyone is starting to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, in Liaoyang Province in the northeast Dancer Savage and Water Da Da Also because the burden of paying tribute to Haidongqing is too heavy and rebelled Later, there were several forces in Liaodong area Even after claiming to be beautiful They raised the banner of counter-aid and sent to Beijing. in these uprisings The resistance of the Miao people in Chengbu County, Shaoyang, Hunan is particularly fierce then Yuan Ting sent a large number of troops into Hunan to suppress These reinforcements swaggered across the border all the way Wherever you go, grab a handful of people first and then think about it later What was suppressed was that the local people would rather meet the Miao army. I don’t want to meet reinforcements either. In the sixth year of Zhizheng The Miao army already numbered 60,000 people and occupied large areas of prefectures and counties in Hunan and Guangxi besides There is another rebel army worth mentioning That’s Peng Yingyu from Yichun, Jiangxi He is the founder of the Southern Red Turban Army After the uprising failed, he Run went to Huaixi area to continue his activities Later, the backbone of Xu Shouhui's rebel army Many of them are his disciples Reinforcements at that time Whether it is the Central Guards The combat effectiveness of the local army is also very low. 7th year of Zhizheng A very funny thing even happened There are 36 rebels in Nanjing Tens of thousands of reinforcements surrounded them for three months but they did not dare to attack. Finally, I took out a large amount of money from the military salary. take this political task Illegal subcontracting to local private salt dealers Private salt dealers use money to do things Finished the rebels Let’s summarize the situation in Dayuan Party strife among the powerful within the DPRK The army's combat effectiveness is low Prices are soaring everywhere Floods, droughts, and locust plagues occur one after another Oppression of all kinds is unprecedentedly severe Troubled times are finally inevitable Turn your attention to Taizhou, Zhejiang Taizhou area during the Yuan Dynasty A total of 18 famines occurred Two people met After Emperor Shun succeeded to the throne There have been several major tsunamis in Taiwan. A large number of people died in shipwrecks People are in dire straits Coupled with various political avoidances in the Yuan Dynasty, This place has become a powder keg So much so that there is such a folk song circulating The sky is high and the emperor is far away When the people are few, there are many mutual relations. Three times a day How about not borrowing money back? Next Please invite Fang Guozhen, the first main character in the late Yuan Dynasty Fang Guozhen’s early experience Most of them are recorded in the local chronicles of various places in Zhejiang. And the details are not exactly the same. Here I will give a version based on various opinions. for reference only Fang Guozhen is from Yangyu Village, Luqiao District, Taizhou City At that time, there was a nursery rhyme circulating in Taizhou Yang Yuqing's journey to sea This Hai Jing refers to Fang Guozhen He is the third among five brothers According to the meaning of Cixi County Chronicle Fang La's descendants were not exterminated by the court Fang Guozhen may be a descendant of Fang La Fang Guozhen height and length Among the heroes in the late Yuan Dynasty, he was the highest peak of personal martial ethics. Able to stop a galloping horse by force Shuishan Quan, a famous boxing style in eastern Zhejiang He founded it Shuoshanquan means Condensing the power of a mountain into one punch fight out This boxing technique places great emphasis on a stable lower body Fighting on a rocking ship is awesome. Therefore, the naval combat level of Fang Guozhen’s troops At that time, he was invincible in the world later Qi Jiguang also mentioned in his new book Performance The martial arts practiced by Qi Jiajun also include Shuishan Quan Fang Guozhen’s father is an honest shopkeeper once The five brothers and their father met the landowner Dad immediately stood up straight Say hello to the landowner respectfully Fang Guozhen's anger suddenly rose. Talk about this person He's just an ordinary person with a little money. Not a big official Do you deserve to be so mean? The father said helplessly I can only support myself by renting his land. Five of you brothers How could you not be respectful? perhaps Fang Guozhen was not born to be a wage earner. Maybe Dad’s hard and humble career I gave him a negative teaching material He doesn't want to be an electric farmer like his father for generations. after father's death The five brothers found an opportunity to treat the landowner to dinner Get the landowner drunk and kill him I won’t go into the specific methods here. Very unsuitable for children Then the five brothers fled to the end of the world. On a dark road Fan Siyan Fan Siyan belongs to the underground industry This industry is hugely profitable Communication is complex Fang Guozhen has a flexible mind Bold and ruthless Able to speak and behave Very enjoyable Plus four brothers as helpers Slowly he became the leader of Taizhou Fang Guozhen's side Gathered a group of desperadoes who only served him Both black and white have to sell his face Jianghu people call Taizhou Chen Haonan not Guo Fang Guozhen returns to smuggling He's not the kind of robber who licks blood with his blade. Don’t engage in the business of killing people and selling goods. Fang Guozhen has a rival named Cai Luantou He's the boss of another salt gang. once A fire broke out as they fought over the iron pot that was the main source of salt. And said it was to snatch the iron pot In fact, it is to seize the management rights of the private salt industry. Since Fang Guozhen has become a leader in the gray industry, It's impossible not to have some social interaction at the Yamen. But Cai Luantou’s relationship is tougher than him In the end, the Yamen favored Cai Luantou in this matter. From then on, the two families became enemies. Cai Luantou’s stall is also bigger. Not only is it a violation of privacy Also works part-time as a pirate But he went too far He even dares to steal the official biography of the imperial court Things got serious The local government was not willing to protect him either. So I posted the list all night long Prepare to arrest Cai Luantou Fang Guozhen was very excited now. Show little momentum If Cai Luantou can be eliminated with the help of the imperial court, The private salt industry in Taizhou belongs to him alone. So he gathered his brothers Prepare to use Cai Luantou to claim credit and reward Although Cai Luantou’s relationship is tough, But the value of force cannot match Fang Guozhen's Everyone is hanging out here Know the roots Which island is your lair on? Am I still unclear? Instead of being tied up by Fang Guozhen, he would be rewarded diligently Better to surrender So Cai Luantou surrendered to the Yamen And in the confession He framed Fang Guozhen as the same party. Cai Luantou’s relationship skills are indeed top-notch he is in cell He still has the ability Instigated his younger brother to send money to the general manager of Taizhou Road in the Yuan Dynasty The manager just saved Cai Luantou and released him. Fang Guozhen was also labeled a pirate based on his confession. After the Yamen received the order, Immediately dispatch agents to arrest Fan Guozhen He was cooking at home Suddenly he saw the police coming in to arrest him So he picked up the dining table as a shield with his left hand Pai picked up the door stick with his right hand and used it as a weapon Instantly transformed into a blunt soldier One person killed a whole team of police officers. Who told you not to ask me to do the work? Afterwards, Fang Guozhen learned that Cai Luantou framed him. very angry So he took his men and ran to Cai Luantou's house. Kill him all over the house After Fang Guozhen performed justice for heaven The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, so I smuggled it. You insist on slandering me as a robber Then I will show you a robber Made by Cai Luantou I can't do it So in November of the eighth year of Zhizheng Fang Guozhen led thousands of desperadoes under his command Ran to Dachen Island overseas in Taizhou Calls himself the King of Eastern Zhejiang And based on Dachen Island Robbery of passing ships Go south and grab businessmen from Guangdong and Fujian. Go north and grab the imperial ship. It's hard for anyone to speak In addition, what Fang Guozhen hates the most is those with lustful eyes. Because Zhejiang’s trade is prosperous A large number of lustful businessmen gather here They and the Eastern Zhejiang Salt Gang Interest disputes often arise due to salt trade As long as the lustful businessman falls into Fang Guozhen's hands, Those are the consequences of being thrown into the sea to feed the turtles. He closed the door and became a local emperor In fact, it has little to do with Emperor Yuan Shun The key is that he does this Food is in short supply in most cities. Emperor Yuan Shun was very anxious They sent troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to suppress it. Aid general Dole is on duty Led the Zhou division to march southward from Ningbo with great momentum. Go straight to Dachen Island Fang Guozhen saw that the Yuan army was powerful Forced to retreat south Later in Wuhumen outside the mouth of Minjiang River in Fujian Overtaken by the Yuan army The Yuan army said it was Zhou Shi In fact, they are all infantry cavalry from the north. The sea people in eastern Zhejiang began in the Southern Song Dynasty A fleet was formed to fight the fierce reinforcements. this force Preserved among the people as maritime merchants and salt traders Plus the critical buff from Fang Guo’s Zhenshui Mountain Spring The naval battle strength is several blocks ahead of the Guan army. When the Yuan army was about to catch up, Fang Guozhen set fire to the last few ships. The Yuan army at the front was afraid of running into a fire ship. Just try your best to back away The Yuan army behind did not know the situation Keep moving forward The two sides hit each other chaos Seeing this, Fang Guozhen took advantage of the situation and turned around to fight back. After a while, I shrank from Shanquan and greeted him. The reinforcements were defeated After Tourban was captured Fang Guozhen requested an imperial edict The court agreed But asked him to join the court and dismiss his subordinates Of course Fang Guozhen did not agree Since then, he has held more than 1,000 giant ships. Centered on Dachen Island Officially began his opera career In May of the tenth year of Zhizheng After nearly a year of preparation The Yuan army sent 300 warships to attack Fang Guozhen The Yuan army was defeated Countless people drowned June The Yuan army once again assembled a large number of warships to attack Fang Guozhen. Fang Guozhen dispatched more than a dozen Qinzhou Clippers Initiate a beheading operation Attack directly on the Yuan army commander's ship The Yuan army was defeated In October, Fang Guozhen led his troops ashore to attack Wenzhou. The Yuan army fled Fang Guozhen grabbed a handful and ran away By the beginning of the eleventh year The Yuan Dynasty dispatched the famous official Tai Buhua and Dong Tuanxiao, deputy marshal of eastern Zhejiang Province Come to confront Fang Guozhen Dong MLM The most ferocious enemy of the Red Turban Army in the future He was directly labeled as a polished commander by Fang Guozhen Alone and embarrassed, he fled back to Wenzhou No more water fights from now on Soon after Fang Guozhen attacks Wenzhou again Taibuhua saw Fang Guozhen's battleships lined up in a row Then imitate Zhou Yu There are many flammable objects placed in the small raft Ignite and attack Fang Jun Fang Guozhen was forced to retreat June Taipuhua and Boluotimur, Zuocheng, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces Departing from Wenzhou and Ningbo respectively It was agreed to attack Fang Guozhen at Dalu Yang, who was overseas in Wenzhou. Unexpectedly, we arrived at Borodemur three days in advance. Fang Guozhen sent death squads to carry out fire attacks at night The reinforcements were defeated More than half of the people drowned Borodemur was captured alive After returning to court Boluo Tiemu'er actually helped Fang Guozhen speak Said that he sincerely wanted to submit to the imperial court Tai Bohua was beaten by this pig teammate I was so angry that I went on hunger strike for several days. later Tai Bohua also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit An Assassination of Fang Guozhen His boss, Da Sinong, killed Temu'er You actually threatened him if you dared to assassinate Fang Guozhen I will dismiss you immediately It seems Fang Guozhen has learned how to mess things up Know how to find backers in the court You are too slippery If you don't want to mess with me, just clear the relationship. Let your boss deal with you In the end, Fang Guozhen was granted an official title by the court. From the ninth year of Zhizheng to the eleventh year of Zhizheng The Yuan army conquered Fang Guozhen many times However, the strength is not enough Repeated battles and defeats There were many good people at that time With the intention of serving the imperial court Join the army to conquer Fang Guozhen But after dying in battle The imperial court never issued pensions or condolences. Instead, he gave Fang Guozhen an official title. The people along the coast were really upset when they saw the imperial court. Crossing the sea to vote with their feet Fang Guozhen’s Dachen Island is becoming more and more stable And the imperial court really didn’t have the strength. The quarrel with Fang Guozhen continued at sea. because in another direction A bigger powder keg was detonated
