On this day, 905 years ago, November 1, 1120 (October 9, 1120, the Southern River La Uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty. The uprising army occupied the fifty-two counties in six prefectures and counties from the second year of Xuanhe of the Northern Song Dynasty (1120) to the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty. Fang La led farmers in Zhejiang and Zhejiang in a large-scale armed struggle against the corrupt rule of the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was obscene and corrupt. The Song court blindly sought peace with Liao and Xixia, transferring silk and money. The establishment of "Yingfeng Bureaux" and "Made Bureaux" to plunder wantonly, resulting in heavy burdens on land rents, taxes and corvee for farmers and making it impossible to survive. On November 1, 1120 (the ninth day of October, the second year of Xuanhe), Fang La, a hired employee (the owner of the lacquer garden) in Qingxi (now northwest of Chun'an, Zhejiang), pretended to "get the heavenly talisman" and called on the people to revolt. On the first day of November, Fang La established political power in Yuandong, the northwest gang of Qingxi, where the terrain is steep. The year name was Yongle and he called himself the Holy Duke. The rebels robbed the rich and helped the poor and fought against the government army. The four townships responded, and in ten days, the number reached tens of thousands. On the 22nd, 5000 troops from Cai Zun and Yan Tan, the military and military commanders of the two Zhejiang provinces, went to suppress it. The rebels pretended to retreat to Xikeng, northwest of Qingxi, and used an ambush to annihilate them completely. Fang La took advantage of the victory and led his troops eastward, captured Qingxi, and headed straight to Wuzhou (now Meicheng Town, northeast of Jiande). Zhang Huiyan, the governor, abandoned the city and fled. On the second day of December, the rebels entered Wuzhou to suppress corrupt officials and open up warehouses to relieve the poor. Xuan divided his troops north in two directions, and the East Route Army marched into Hangzhou; Fang La personally led the West Route Army to attack Shezhou (present-day She County, Anhui Province). On the 20th, Fang La's army arrived at the city of Shezhou. The garrison general Guo Shizhong led his troops to fight. The army was completely annihilated, and the people opened the city to welcome the rebels. Then Fang La sent an army north to attack Ningguo and Xuancheng (now Ningguo and Xuanzhou in Anhui); he led his main force eastward and joined forces with the East Route Army at the foot of Hangzhou. Zhao Tingwei, the prefect, abandoned the city and fled. On the 29th, the rebels captured the outpost outside the city. That night, an attack was launched on Hangzhou. The rebels were holding torches and the copper mirrors that protected the heart flashed under the light. The government troops thought that the divine weapon was coming and rushed to escape for their lives. The rebels broke the city and killed Chen Jian, the envoy of Zhejiang Province, and Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Fang. So he took advantage of the situation and divided his troops to attack, winning victory and capturing 6 states and 52 counties successively, with a huge momentum. At that time, Shi Sheng in Suzhou (now Jiangsu) and Lu Xing 'er in Gui' an (now Huzhou, Zhejiang) also led the crowd to respond. On the seventh day of the first month of the third year, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty heard that Hangzhou had fallen and sent envoys to surrender Fangla. The "artificial creation bureau" in Suzhou and Hangzhou was abolished and Hua Shigang was suspended to relax the fighting spirit of the rebels. At the same time, Tong Guan was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Liu Yanqing was appointed as the commander of the Xuanfu Department, and Wang Bing was appointed as the commander. He led 150,000 troops south to suppress the rebels. The government army divided its troops from Jiangning (now Nanjing) into two routes and attacked Hangzhou and She prefectures. Tong Guan's army advanced to Xiuzhou (present-day Jiaxing, Zhejiang). When he encountered Fang Qifu, a general of the Rebel Army, leading 60,000 troops to attack the city, he surrounded the Rebel Army with the Xiuzhou garrison. Fang Qi Buddha was caught off guard and retreated to Hangzhou. On the seventh day of February, the Song army arrived in Hangzhou from Xiuzhou Dividing Land. However, they failed to surrender Fangla, so they withdrew the siege and pretended to retreat. The rebels chased and ambushed, lost and returned to the city, and were surrounded and cut off. Fang La led his troops to fight hard for several days, but the city was difficult to defend, so his troops broke through in batches, but were blocked and killed by the Song army, causing heavy losses. On the 18th, the Song army captured Hangzhou. At the beginning of March, the Rebel Army failed in its counterattack against Hangzhou and retreated into Bangyuandong to defend itself. Later, after the Song army gathered troops to attack, the Rebel Army was attacked from both sides and fell into tight encirclement. More than 70,000 people died in battle. Fang La was captured and died in Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) in August. The rest of the Rebel Army fought in eastern Zhejiang, and were suppressed one after another in March of the fourth year, ending the uprising. Comments: Song Jiang did not participate in the suppression of the Fangla Uprising. In history, Song Jiang was not recruited by the imperial court to surrender, but surrendered in defeat. Moreover, Zhang Shuye defeated Song Jiang with only a thousand people. With Song Jiang's strength, the imperial court could not send him to attack Fang La's million-strong army. Although the Fangla Rebellion Army claimed to be millions, they had no formal training and lacked unified command, and were eventually defeated one by one by the Song army. Song Jiang's expedition to Fang La has no historical basis, but a fiction made by the novelist.
