After the hearts of the people surrendered, Fang La slaughtered cattle and filtered wine, and summoned more than 100 young people to party and have a banquet. He poured the wine several times in turn. Fang La stood up and said to everyone: "The internal relations of the country and the internal relations of the family are the same. Now, his son and younger brother are working hard all year round, and they have a little bit of food and cloth. His father and brother have used them all to waste. If they are not satisfied, they will beat them with whips and bamboo boards, cruelly abuse them, and they will not be merciless until they die. Can you be willing to endure it?" Everyone said: "No!"

Fang La continued: "The rest is squandered and wasted, and then devoted it to his enemies. The enemies rely on our materials to become richer and richer, and instead invade and bully us. The father and brother let their children deal with them. The power of their children cannot support them, so condemnation and punishment are all done. However, the things dedicated to their enemies every year are never spared because they are insulted by their enemies. Can you bear this with peace of mind?" Everyone said: "How can this be true?"

Fang La said with tears in his eyes: "Now taxes and labor are so heavy, officials plunder and extortion. The income from agriculture and sericulture is not enough to meet the needs. What we rely on is lacquer, paper, bamboo, and all tax documents and regulations of the government were collected by various names, without leaving any left. God gave birth to people and set up officials for them. The government was so vicious and cruel! Can God and the hearts of the people not complain? The court's singing and dancing women, dogs and horses hunting, building palaces, worshiping ghosts and gods, expanding arms, collecting strange flowers and stones, etc.

In addition to squandering, the silver and silk that bribes the two enemies in the west and north every year must be calculated with millions of numbers. These are the fat and blood and sweat of the people in the southeast. The two enemies have received these treasures and despised us even more and invaded us every year. The court never dared to abolish the dedication to the enemies. The rulers also think that this is a long-term strategy to stabilize the frontier. Only our people work hard all year round, their wives and children are frozen and hungry, and they cannot eat a full meal all day. What should we do?" Everyone said angrily: "Listen to your orders!"

Fang La said: "For the past thirty years, old officials have been demoted, and only a few have died. Now the people in power are despicable, dirty, evil and flattering guys, who only know how to use singing and dancing girls to create palace gardens to confuse the emperor. They don't care about national affairs at all. Local officials outside the capital have also become corrupt and extravagant, and do not consider local political affairs as important issues. The people in the southeast have been suffering from exploitation for a long time! The invasion of Huashigang in recent years is particularly unbearable. If you can preside over the uprising of justice, all parts of the country will definitely respond. In more than ten days, thousands of people can be gathered.

When local officials heard this, they would definitely recruit and negotiate with us, and it would not be convenient to submit a memorial to the court immediately. We used strategies to restrain them. If we delayed them for a month or two, the counties in Jiangnan could conquer them in one fell swoop. After receiving the memorial, the court could not immediately decide to send troops. It would be expected that it would take more than a month to delay and gather and discuss; it would take less than half a year for the training of the army and the transfer of food and wages, so that it had been a year before and after we set off.

At this time, the situation has been basically determined, so don’t worry. Moreover, the imperial court pays tribute to foreign enemies in the west and north, with millions of tributes every year, and the imperial court’s military and political expenses reach 100,000 yuan a year. Most of this money comes from the southeast. We have already occupied the south of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court will cruelly squeeze it out from the Central Plains.

The people of the Central Plains cannot stand it and will definitely rise up to resist. When the foreign enemies in the west and north know, they will take the opportunity to attack.

The court was attacked from both inside and outside, and even if there were counselors like Yi Yin and Lu Shang, they could not come up with any way for them. We only need to use the Yangtze River as the boundary, guard the south of the Yangtze River, reduce labor, reduce taxes, and restore and develop the people's human and material resources. Which of the four directions in the world will come to worship us respectfully? Within ten years, we will eventually unify the world. If not, we will have to die in vain at the hands of corrupt officials. Please plan this matter well!" Everyone said: "Okay!"

So on the ninth day of the 10th month of the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La led his troops to act in Qixian Village, She County, formally rebelled, established a regime, and the year name was "Yongle", and set up officials and generals. Fang La called himself the Holy Lord, and used various headscarves such as headscarves to distinguish between hijabs and red scarves as symbols. His army did not have bows or arrows or armor, but he called for the attack on Zhu Jie, and tens of thousands of people joined the rebel army in less than ten days.

In November of the second year of Xuanhe, Cai Zun, the chief of the two Zhejiang governors, learned that Fang La was rebelling, and hurriedly led 5,000 troops to beg for food at night. When he arrived at Xikeng, he happened to meet Fang La's front team. The soldiers of the official army looked over and couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that Fang La's front team did not see any Wujiang or any weapons. There were only many women and children, and the women were still wearing facial makeup, but most of them were Taoist robes in their clothes. They each held whisks in their hands, as if they were Taoist nuns in the play.

The children's faces were painted with red, yellow, blue and white, all kinds of strange. Some were combed with two buns, and some were shaping into novice circles. They were laughing and dancing to the officials from afar, not like they were coming to fight. The officials looked at each other, thinking that he had any magic tricks and did not dare to move forward. Cai Zun was also surprised, but Yan Tan was rough in character, so he asked Cai Zun: "This is a trick to confuse our army. What's the terrible thing? Look at me driving the army over and kill them all." After that, he supervised the army to attack. As the soldiers pointed, the women and children were so scared that they were running around in a desperate situation.

Seeing this, Yan Tan was overjoyed and immediately killed him. They fled and chased him, but they saw the women and children in front of them passing through the woods and crossing the ditch and fleeing in all directions. After the official army chased for several miles, the women and children disappeared. Suddenly, there was no one in the space, leaving only the empty mountains and the ancient trees. Yan Tan did not care about their own affairs and chased forward again. Suddenly, he heard a cannon, which made the koh leaves tremble, and the officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel creepy.

Everyone looked up around, but they saw no movement. The officers and soldiers were sweating in cold sweat. Although they were running rapidly, they kept looking around. Suddenly, the sound of rushing and trampling came out, and more than half of them fell into the pit, and even Yan Tan fell down. In an instant, many big men jumped out of the valleys on both sides, holding giant sticks in their hands, half of them rammed the traps, and half swept the remaining officers and soldiers. More than a thousand people below Yan Tan, a ancient brain was buried in the pit.

When Cai Zun, the commander of the back team, heard that the front army had succeeded, he hurriedly caught up, but he was far away from the front army and had no confirmation. They gradually walked into the valley, and suddenly, they heard a clamor from behind. Cai Zun knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop and retreat.

When they returned to the entrance of the valley, they suddenly complained. It turned out that the entrance of the valley had been blocked by wood and stones. At this moment, several cannons were fired on the mountain. Then countless large stones were thrown from above. The officers and soldiers were not killed, and most of them were injured. Cai Zun hurriedly supervised the soldiers,

He removed the wood and stones to escape. However, Fang La's army behind him chased him with weapons and rushed to the government army. The officials were in chaos and allowed them to rush left and right, and swept across the country. Most of the officers and soldiers were killed, and Cai Zun also died in the chaos.

After this battle, Fang La's army had weapons such as swords and guns. Fang La took advantage of the victory to attack Qingxi and captured the county magistrate Weng Kai. Then he advanced to Muzhou. He also issued an announcement claiming: "With heavenly soldiers helping, you should surrender quickly, otherwise Cai and Yan's mistakes will be at present." At this time, the peace in the Jiang and Zhejiang areas had been long and had never experienced wars. The wards and soldiers of the county only knew to welcome the imperial envoy and preserve their thrones. They had never repaired the city moat or rectified the military armor. Once they heard that Fang La had arrived, it was like the other party was a god who was descending and could not fight against the enemy, so they would have escaped without leaving any one.

Fang La broke down to Muzhou and attacked Shezhou westward. The defending general Guo Shizhong quickly dispatched troops to resist. As soon as he fought, a group of people wearing hair and swords suddenly came out from Fang La's army. He pointed at Kong and rushed forward with his swords and rushed into the official army. These officers and soldiers could not fight, and were worried that the other party would have magic tricks, so no one dared to stop them. In an instant, the flags of the official army were in chaos and the soldiers dispersed like birds and beasts.

Guo Shizhong could not stop it, but was killed and died. Shezhou was soon captured. Fang La led his troops to advance eastward, plundering Tonglu and Fuyang counties, and heading straight to the city of Hangzhou. Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, looked up at the city and saw Fang La's army from afar, and was very panicked. Suddenly, several very tall people rushed out, about one meter high. They were wearing divine helmets, wearing cloaks, holding spears in their left hand and flags in their right hand, with hideous and terrifying faces.

Zhao Ting was immediately frightened to the point of being possessed. In fact, this kind of master is carved from wood, with organs inside and manipulated by people, so his hands can move. From a distance, he is lifelike. Zhao Ting is as timid as a mouse, but hesitates and hesitates for a while, and feels that it is still thirty-six, so he is the best. He packs up the fineness and softness, takes his wife and concubine, and when the city is disturbed, he disguises himself from the government office and runs out of the city.

The commander Chen Jian and the envoy of Lianwen Zhao Yue came to the prefecture office and wanted to discuss the defense plan with Zhao Ting, but the office was empty and there was no one. They hurriedly withdrew from the office. Fang La's army had already entered the city, and the two could not escape and were tied up at the same time. Fang La entered the city and asked someone to search for officials, arrested many people, and tied up the front of the prefecture office one by one.

Fang Lagao sat in the hall, arranged a banquet, and indulged in joy. He drank a glass of wine and killed one person. The people who had been resentful for a long time also excavated the tomb of Cai Jing's father and ancestor and exposed his bones. In December of the second year of Xuanhe, he then occupied Shouchang, Dishui, Tonglu, Sui'an and other counties. Huo Chengfu, Chen Zaotong and others all joined the battle, and the organization of the Manichaeism in Quzhou also raised an army to respond.

Shisheng, Suzhou, Lu Xinger, Gui'an County, Huzhou, Zhu Yan, Lingshandong, Lanxi County, Wuzhou, Wubang, Yong, Chen Shisi, Fangyanshan, Kang County, Huo Chengfu, Chen Zuotong, etc., all brought local people to join Fang La's army.

Lu Shinang, Xianju County, Taizhou, Qiu Rixin, Shan County, Yuezhou, Zheng Demon King, Quzhou, and others also led the local Manichaeism to respond. The farmers in Hu, Chang, Xiu and other states also "gathered their disciples" and prepared to attack the prefectures. People from all over the country saw the flags of Fang La's army and heard the drums, they came to greet them. Those who participated in the army even looked at each other. Fang La quickly occupied 52 counties in the six prefectures and trembled the world.
