Chapter 154: Chen Shishi and Fang Baihua
…
actually--
The so-called Fang La Rebel Army is not all controlled and led by Fang La, but is jointly controlled and led by dozens of rebel leaders of all sizes.
Fang La is only the largest and most famous of these dozens of rebel armies of all sizes. At the same time, Fang La is the signboard jointly played by dozens of rebel armies of all sizes.
The so-called Fang La Yi army should actually be regarded as a coalition force.
In fact, some of these people were willing to accept the command of Fang La to lead the dream of making achievements with Fang La, while others were in the name of Fang La, who developed by themselves in the future to compete for the world.
Almost none of these people revolt for the sake of the people of the world. They jumped up to resist Zhao Song for their own future and for their own good life.
Moreover, since the uprising, many of these people have done everything they have done to burn, kill, loot and all kinds of evil.
but--
There is no absolute in the world.
There is still an anomaly in Fang Layi's army.
This anomaly is Chen Shisi - Chen Jingu from Fangyan Mountain, Yongkang County.
According to legend, Chen Shisi Niang was born in Linshui Township, Gutian County, Fujian Province in the Tang Dynasty, so he was called "Mrs. Linshui".
There are many other respected titles, such as "Large-Big Lady", "Mrs. Chen", "Empress Dowager Chen", "Lady Shunyi", "Holy Mother Shuntian", "Holy Mother of Heaven", "Holy Mother of Nantai", "Holy Mother of Bixia", etc. - Fujian folk often use "Wuwoman" and "Mi’s Milk" as a substitute; in southern Zhejiang folk, they call "Chen Shisi Niang"; in later generations, they were one of the three-mistresses, and in the folk, they called "Chen Big Milk".
legend:
At the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, Guanyin competed with all the immortals to play the pillar of the sky, pointing to the blood-breaking well, and was eaten by Chen Chang's wife, Linshuizhong Village, Gutian, Fujian Province. She gave birth to a daughter on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the first lunar month of the Tang Dynasty. She was named Jinggu. Because she was born on the 14th day and night, she was also known as Jinggu, commonly known as the 14th.
Guanyin's two white hairs made mistakes and fell into the world and turned into white snakes to harm creatures.
Chen Chang's family passed on Maoshan Dharma. The villagers of the village were swearing Chen went out of the mountain to eliminate harm for the people. Chen was unable to do so because he suffered from cervix. He sent his two sons Fatong and the third son Faqing to surrender snakes. Unexpectedly, Fatong was swallowed by the snake, and Faqing survived and returned home.
At the age of seventeen, Jinggu vowed to go to Lushan to study the Dharma in order to avenge his revenge.
When he returned, he passed by Wenzhou, Pingyang and other places, and collected monsters along the way to eliminate harm to the people.
Later, when he heard that the white snake spirit was harmful to good people in Fujian, Jinggu built a Dharma hall in front of the White Snake Cave, and made the Dharma in Lushan Mountain. He killed the white snake into three sections. The snake's head turned into a woman and fled.
A certain year was a severe drought and the seedlings withered. Chen Jinggu was three months pregnant and was born in the Chen Mansion and went to pray for rain.
Sure enough, the rain came from heaven and benefited all the people.
At this time, the white snake disguised himself as Jing Gu returned home, stealing the fetus and eating it.
Jing Gu returned from flying clouds and chased him angrily. The white snake fled into Linshui Cave. Jing Gu sat down on the snake's head, so that it would never leave the cave.
In the end, Chen Jinggu died of a snake's head at the age of twenty-four.
This divine hero in folklore is good at "medicating diseases, eliminating demons, supporting dangers, relieving misfortunes, saving birth, protecting fetus, sending children, and resolving doubts", protecting the country and the people, with immeasurable merits and sacred traces spread far and wide. Later generations, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and many other places, have widely spread and worshipped her.
It was the Song Dynasty at this time, so Chen Shisi in Fang Layi's army was of course not the Empress Chen Shisi of the Tang Dynasty.
but--
Chen Jingu had an adventure in his early years and learned a very magical medical skill. She had a kind heart and had been committed to curing diseases and saving lives for several years. Therefore, she was widely praised and admired in Fangyanshan, Yongkang County, her hometown. In addition, her name was "Chen Jingu", which was homophonic to "Chen Jinggu" and "Chen Jinggu". All the villagers said that she was the reincarnation of Chen Shisi, so slowly, all the villagers called her Chen Shisi and respected her as much as they were to Chen Shisi.
The Northern Song Dynasty court promoted the flower and stone gang, which forced the people of Fangyanshan, Yongkang County to no avail.
It coincided with the Fang La Uprising.
Seeing this, the people from Fangyanshan, Yongkang County also turned against each other.
But because the people in Fangyanshan, Yongkang County were passionate, no one jumped up to lead them, and they were not convinced by each other.
Later, as soon as the people from Fangyanshan, Yongkang County discussed, they invited Chen Jingu out and asked her to lead them to revolt.
Under the beautiful prospects depicted by the people of Fangyanshan, Yongkang County, Chen Jingu, who was not well-informed and kind-hearted, resolutely stood up to lead the uprising of Fangyanshan, Yongkang County.
Because Chen Shisi was famous, after Chen Jingu climbed the high ground, followers gathered. In just three days, Chen Shisi's team grew to 20,000 troops.
Moreover, what is extremely rare is that the people gathered by Chen Jingu did not do anything to burn, kill, loot because of their extremely strong spiritual beliefs. Even if they captured the officials of the Song Dynasty, they would just search their houses and then distribute the money and grain of the officials of the Song Dynasty to the poor people evenly.
Therefore, Chen Jingu's team has left countless good reputations along the way.
And because Chen Jingu is young and beautiful like a Bodhisattva.
Chen Shisi and Chen Shisi's teams sing praises everywhere they go.
This also made Chen Jingu even more determined to overthrow Feng Song.
But although Chen Shisi is famous, because Chen Shisi's team is too honest, they are not allowed to grab money, grain, and women in Chen Shisi's team, and they are just like Puritans.
This led to the fact that Chen Shisi's team grew very slowly - it took nearly a month to develop, but it only grew from the original 20,000 to less than 30,000. Moreover, many people who followed Chen Shisi left Chen Shisi because of the hardships of Chen Shisi. They either set up their own businesses or invested in leaders who could take them to grab money, food, and women.
Chen Jingu did not force this.
but--
Chen Jingu looked at the messy Southeast and the people who were displaced due to the war, and was heartbroken.
Chen Jingu thought: "The only person who can save the Southeast now is Fang La. I should go find Fang La to help Fang La rebuild the order in the Southeast and let the people in the Southeast recover."
With this idea, Chen Jingu led his team to chase Fang Layi's army all the way.
Until Fang La Yi army captured Hangzhou City, Chen Jingu also led his own team to catch up with Fang La Yi army.
After Chen Jingu thought that after she caught up with Fang La, she told Fang La about the miserable situation of the people in the southeast that she had seen and heard along the way. Fang La would immediately discuss with her how to formulate a new system to restore order in the southeast so that the people in the southeast can rest and recuperate.
But the result was that Fang La just met her in a hurry. Although she was shocked by her beauty and said a few more words to her, she still waved her hand and merged her team into Fang Baihua's army, allowing Fang Baihua to lead her team, and then organized people to massacre the literati and bureaucratic class and rob the rich landlord class. In an instant, the city of Hangzhou turned into a hell on earth.
Chen Jingu tried to stop the atrocities of Fang La's rebels countless times, but she was beaten back by those Fang La's rebels who were so angry that they were even beaten back. If it weren't for the faction protecting her, she might have been harmed by those thugs who had lost their humanity.
At this point, Chen Jingu had a great enlightenment and regretted putting his hope on Fang La.
At this moment, listening to the screams outside the military camp, Chen Jingu felt like a knife, and she began to wonder: "Is it right or wrong for me to lead the crowd to rise up? What Fang La and others do now are worse than Feng Song. If I had known this, I would rather not rebel. In that way, the people can at least survive without having to die like they are now... Is there really no paradise in this world?"
With such confusion, Chen Jingu walked into Fang Baihua's tent.
At this moment, Fang Baihua was lying on the bed in plain clothes. From the place where the clothes could not be blocked, she could see that her body was wrapped in bandages, which showed that she was seriously injured.
But despite this, Fang Baihua's body is still charming and heroic, with clear eyes as lightning, giving people a sharp sense of oppression, full of invasive charm, and suffocating beauty.
Seeing that Chen Jingu came in, Fang Baihua immediately got off the ground and stood up.
Fang Baihua didn't stand up, it was not so obvious. When she stood up, she would be shocked to find that she was actually two feet tall, which was no less than Cai Shen's concubine Wang Sanniang.
Fang Baihua's height is really rare among women, especially in the water town of Jiangnan, where she can be described as "outstanding the crowd".
But Fang Baihua's tallness does not affect her beauty at all. Coupled with her unique momentum and the stability and elegance that can be demonstrated in every move, it is definitely a unique charm.
However, women like Fang Baihua are definitely not worthy of ordinary men, and even more so that ordinary men can conquer them.
Seeing Fang Baihua greeting him, Chen Jingu blamed him: "Why are you getting up? Didn't I tell you that your injuries are very serious and you must rest."
Not long ago, after Fang Layi's army conquered Shezhou, it also conquered Xiuning, Yixian, Jixi, Qimen, Wuyuan, Ningguo and other places.
In addition to sending two partial troops to capture Xuanzhou in the north and Xinzhou in the south, Fang La personally led most of his troops to Hangzhou.
At the same time, Fang Baihua tribe, which was captured in Hangzhou east, had already been trapped in Xincheng, and went down to Fuyang, and the troops were outside Fengshan Gate in Hangzhou.
The magistrate Zhao Ting exclaimed: "How could such a powerful army occupy such a large area in less than two months!" So he took the lead in absconding. A large group of stolen officials also left behind the gold, silver and treasures they had been plundering for many years and followed Zhao Ting to escape. Later, these people went to Jinling. While urging the Northern Song Dynasty court to send a large army to quell the rebellion, they watched the changes.
After Zhao Ting and others fled, only the Liangzhe Commander Chen Jian and Lianjie envoy Zhao Yue led their troops to defend.
Fang La returned to Hangzhou to meet with Fang Baihua and launched an offensive.
In the fierce battle to break through Yongkin Gate, Fang Baihua was the first soldier and rushed to the forefront of the team.
Although Fang Baihua was very skilled in martial arts, in that battle, because Chen Jian and Zhao Yue did not want to Bubu the footsteps of the people who were caught by Fang La Yi army before, they led a group of officials who also did not want to be tortured by Fang La Yi army, and the officers and soldiers fought desperately.
As a result, although Fang Baihua conquered Hangzhou City, he also got three arrows.
Moreover, because Fang Baihua's armor was not good at that time, an arrow almost shot through Fang Baihua's shoulder.
In this era, such a serious injury is actually enough to kill Fang Baihua.
fortunately!
Fang Baihua was just injured, and Chen Jingu, who had excellent hind foot medical skills, arrived in Hangzhou City.
Only with Chen Jingu's magical medical skills can Fang Baihua be reborn.
It is precisely because of this that Fang Baihua is extremely grateful to Chen Jingu!
In addition, there are very few women who show up in public in this era.
Fang Baihua then brought Chen Jingu as her best friend, and even regarded Chen Jingu as her own sister...
