So why did Fang La rebel? In fact, the reason why there were peasant uprisings in ancient times was the same in the final analysis: the government's policies were really unreasonable, and the people at the bottom couldn't eat enough, so they were forced to join the peasant uprising army.
Fang La Uprising. This happened during the reign of Song Huizong. At that time, Song Huizong used traitors and corrupt officials, so these officials had no other skills, and their flattery was first-class. First of all, they exploited the people crazily and extorted money from Song Huizong, forcing them to have no choice. What is even more shameless is that while these officials are exploiting the people, what is written in the report to the court? Peace and prosperity, bumper harvest? In that case. Overwhelmed people are exploited by corrupt officials every day, and they can't see the government sending officials down to save them, so these people are very disappointed with the government.
This group of corrupt officials not only exploited the people, but also catered to Song Huizong's hobbies. Because Song Huizong especially likes some long and strange stones-that is, flower stones, a group of ministers headed by the traitor Cai Jing frantically collected these stones all over the country. At that time, the place where Fang La, the leader of the peasant uprising army, was located was rich in these flower stones, so Fang La was the most oppressed.
Unbearable, Fang La used the doctrine of Manichaeism to raise the banner of peasant rebels and called on the peasants who could not survive to join his army, hoping to lay a new world. But at that time, the court thought of a way, that is, to win over Liangshan heroes who had a slightly gentler attitude towards the court, and then let Liangshan heroes attack Fang La, so that they would attack each other and the court would benefit from it.
