In 2008, it was the 600th anniversary of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, conferring his son on Luzhou as Prince Shen, and the 480th anniversary of Luzhou being promoted from a state official to a government official. In the seventh year of Jiajing (1528), the Qingyangshan uprising failed, and Andy Chen, who was executed by the government the following year, rewrote the history of Luzhou with his parents and brothers. Now there are still many people surnamed Chen in Shibutou, Qingyang Town, Pingshun County, his hometown, and some people claim to be descendants. There are also many versions of the legends of the Chen family, but these legends are often vague and contradictory.

Andy Chen rallied to lead the army against the officials, which was a large-scale uprising of the hungry in the middle of Ming Dynasty, and it was briefly recorded in Ming history and local chronicles. It is true that the official historical records stand on the position of the rulers and call the Chen Qing family and the rioting farmers "bandits". It is said that Andy Chen and his son robbed travel, raped and occupied women, and killed and set fire to them. After liberation, we vigorously publicized the peasants' "rebellion is justified" and attributed the root cause of historical development to peasant rebellion. As a result, almost all public opinions put forward the anti-feudal dynasty, but the rebellious Andy Chen and his son had no flaws at all, exaggerating the role of the hunger uprising and beautifying this group of rebellious heroes. In any case, it is not hard to imagine that Andy Chen's uprising in this tiny place of his hometown could disturb the imperial court and send tens of thousands of troops from four provinces to suppress it. There is no relevant folk writing handed down, and it can only be recorded according to historical materials. The general situation of events recorded in historical materials can still be believed, as long as it is objectively analyzed and judged.

There are only 203 volumes in the biography of Ming History, and the entry "Pan Kui" in article 9 1 is downloaded. There are the following words related to the Andy Chen Uprising in Qingyang Mountain: "In the seventh year of Jiaqing, Pan Kui was the governor of Yuzhou. Andy Chen, a giant thief in Luzhou, was accused of rebellion in Qingyang Mountain. Chao Jiang and the satrap Chang Dao tried to confront the giant thief, but in vain, they could only suppress it. He said in the Tao Te Ching:' It is difficult for a thief to fight against danger. If you attack from all sides, you can catch it by surprise. "Therefore, it is divided into five posts and three roads, and the natives are recruited as guides. Strike first, the thief knows the danger. The loyalist stormed, broke it, chased it to Shacaoling and destroyed Anyang's lair. Shandong's deputy envoy Niu Luan entered from Lucheng and broke the thief Li Zhuangquan. In the evening, Zhai Zan, Henan's deputy envoy, smashed the lair of the Qing army, and the Qing army failed. Zan chased and defeated Luanzhuang Mountain and defeated Shenhe River. Monks in Chen Dagang, Shanxi Province also frowned at thieves many times, losing more than 2,300 people. It took 29 days from the invasion to finding the thief's nest. Emperor Wenjie sent Xia Yan to nuclear ... "

The general history of China is also quite concise. The ninth volume reads: "In February of the seventh year of Jiajing, Andy Chen in Lucheng County, Shanxi Province rose up and defeated the Ming army repeatedly, winning a great victory." Thousands of miles away like a storm. "10, the Ming court mobilized the government troops of Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and Beizhili provinces to suppress, and the uprising failed."

After the failure of the Andy Chen Uprising, Xia Yan, a soldier who came to Luzhou on the orders of the emperor, gave the most detailed description of this story in the Memorial of Investigating the Crimes of Anti-Thief by Officials in Two Provinces, which was reported to the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houzong in February of the eighth year of Jiajing. Andy Chen's father's name is June, and June has a loan shark who is familiar with Chen Yong, the eldest brother and Chen Duo of the magistrate. Chen Qing has two younger brothers: Sean and Chen Feng. The Chen family is very big, with hundreds of uncles and brothers, and the gap between the rich and the poor is wide. From the name alone, it can be concluded that Andy Chen's and his son's names are all single words. Presumably, they have all read books without a font size. Most uncles and nephews are called double words, which is tacky.

Xia Yan reported: In the eleventh year, he was accepted as a courtier in the county after listening to the lack of officials. In May of the fifteenth year, he was transferred to the trial room and became the chief historian of Shenfu. Take refuge and flee back to revolutionary service. " In the second year of Jiajing, villagers Chen Qian and others killed the officers who led troops to capture Chen Qian. After the government arrested Chen Qian, Chen Qian recruited Andy Chen to participate in robbery and murder, which led to Andy Chen's arrest and sentence to death. In the third year of Jiajing, he wrote a "same book" of unjust imprisonment in prison, and ordered his concubine Wang to go to Shanxi Governor's Office to redress grievances. Andy Chen escaped on his way to Fenzhou and returned to his hometown, where he fought with his parents, villagers and officers and men for several years. The monument says that Andy Chen robbed tour groups, raped and occupied women, and killed and set fire to them.

Since there is rebellion, killing is inevitable. Soldiers sent by the government will be killed, so will those who tell the government what to do and tell them, and even those who don't rebel. It is also reasonable to rob wealthy businessmen and gentry to protect themselves. On the issue of adultery and seizure of civilian women, the memorial said that in the fourth year of Jiajing, the father and son forcibly sent the widow Chang, his wife Wang and their children up the mountain, taking Chang as their concubine, their father adultery and seizure of Wang's daughter, and their second brother Sean adultery and seizure of Wang's daughter Liu Yin as his concubine. In September of the fifth year of Jiajing, "Chang Shi saw Chen Qing's fierce plan, fearing future troubles, leaving the mountain in the dead of night" and reporting the situation to the court. In July of the following year, Sean "forced Li Shangshan, the wife who stayed at Huguan, to commit adultery". Wang's mother and daughter are honest and filial. In the sixth year of Jiajing, he was moved down the mountain by Luzhou magistrate. In February of the seventh year of Jiajing, the imperial court took Wang and his mother as hostages and exchanged the captured orders of Fenzhou and Zezhou counties. In May of that year, Chen Qing robbed Hangzhou, the queen of Yuefu, into the mountains and raped her as a concubine. According to legend, the concubine of Jiajing for three years was Wang's, and the concubine raped by her father the following year was also Wang's. I don't know if there are really two kings, or if my second wife is deliberately written as "rape". It is also said that the father and son sent people to Lucheng County to "take back" Wang, who thought that Wang and June were still loving couples. At that time, the government implemented the marriage registration system. Officials and wealthy businessmen can have three wives and four concubines. The mountain king wanted by the government was infected by the atmosphere. Naturally, he had to be proud. It may be robbery, or it may be that women are willing to go up the mountain to be Mrs. Dangdang Zhazhai. Anyway, she came to the mountain to marry Chen. Andy Chen and his son are certainly not stupid enough to find a little wife or two and then go to the government for official registration.

After the failure of the Andy Chen Uprising, the Chen family died in battle. Half of the prisoners died in prison and the other half were found beheaded. Sean was arrested and executed on the spot, and Andy Chen and Chen Feng were also executed this year. His wife Lu, his eldest son Chen Wei, and his youngest son's baby name is dog; Chen Xiang is in the official wife Wu, the eldest son Chen Dazhuang, the second son Chen Erzhuang, and the youngest daughter; The third brother, Chen Feng's wife, Shi, "made the hero's house a slave, and the property went to the official." All the wives and concubines who were not registered with the government were sent home so that they could see the world and avoid becoming sex slaves again. Or she could be a widow, poor as hell, miserable as hell, I don't know.

In the eighth year of Jiajing, according to Xia Yan's suggestion, the emperor upgraded Luzhou to a prefecture, named it Lu 'an, and added a subsidiary county named Changzhi. It is allowed to intercept Licheng Wuli, Lucheng Shili and Huguan Shili, a total of 31 Li, and it is located in Kaipingshun County, Qingyang. At this point, Lu 'an Prefecture has jurisdiction over four states, namely Liao, Qin, Ze and Fen, and 23 counties. Set up Lu' an soldiers to patrol Jinan Road and administer Lu' an. The newly established Pingshun County has added two gates, Hongtiguan and Yuxiaguan. Three military fortresses, Huayuankou, Cha Nanshan and Luban River, have been added. There are also four inspection departments to control short-term hazards and station troops for defense all year round.

Today, Shibutou, the hometown of Andy Chen, claims to be a descendant of Andy Chen and should be a descendant of Andy Chen. Because Andy Chen and his brother's own son "were slaves of the hero's family", they had already moved away from home. According to the law, they are not allowed to take the surname of the sinner, and should be changed to the surname of the hero. Besides, Andy Chen has never been rehabilitated in past dynasties, and his descendants will no longer be surnamed Chen. like
