Since ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been important reasons for the beginning of uprisings, of which man-made disasters are not only a factor, but even the fuse of the entire uprising. After all, if it was only a natural disaster, the capable imperial court would continue to take care of the people's lives and would not let the people be in the depths of the water. But if the imperial court is not able to take care of so many people, even when the people are suffering natural disasters, they are still in constant war, and the swaying and taxes of the people are aggravated, then "
Officials force the people to rebel
"That's it.
Since ancient times, there have been countless uprisings of all sizes, and successful uprisings have directly changed the dynasty of the world, and the tragic fate of the failure of the uprising need not be said again. Today we want to talk about Tang Sai'er, a female leader of an uprising during the Ming Dynasty, what happened to her after the failure of the uprising?
Let's first look at the Ming Dynasty at the time of the Tang Sai'er Uprising. The Zhu Di era is outstanding throughout Chinese history, and the conquest of Mongolia, the voyage to the West, the passage of the Western Regions, and the opening of canals are all examples of successful rule. But we can not only see the success, but also see the situation behind the success, the reason why the Ming Dynasty can make these achievements, the most inseparable is the people, without the people's taxes and labor, there can be no such glory. And what was the situation of the people in the Ming Dynasty at that time? Unfortunately, from Hongwu thirty-one years (
In 1398
From the beginning, the people of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty have been suffering from natural disasters.
First, the background of natural and man-made disasters
Earthquakes, plagues, droughts, floods, but all the natural disasters that can cause great damage have made the people at that time experienced over and over again, and the people were already in the depths of the water, and unfortunately the war broke out again. That is, the famous Battle of Jingnan, where did this battle begin? In Shandong, the people had not yet eased up in the disaster, and they were forced to be incorporated into the ranks of the army by the imperial court, and the results could be imagined.
The battle was so fierce that all that was left was a pile of white bones. Three years later, Zhu Di finally conquered Nanjing, but the end of the war did not mean the end of the people's hard life, because Zhu Di was going to start opening the canal again, and to open the canal, he had to requisition the people as coolies, and this march was 100,000 people. Under all kinds of pressure and pain, the people must find their own spiritual support. So they found the White Lotus Sect and became followers of the White Lotus Sect, and at this time Tang Sai'er appeared.
2. The female leader who was forced to revolt
What is Tang Sai'er's origin? Today, there is no real statement. According to relevant records, the literati during the Qing Dynasty referred to her as ""
妖女
This kind of record certainly has no reference value. In addition, there is a saying that Tang Sai'er was one of the most ordinary ordinary people in Binzhou, Shandong, who had been reading poetry since childhood, was proficient in martial arts, and looked good, and later married Lin San. However, she did not live a happy life, after Lin San was killed by Ya Gong, what followed was the death of Tang Sai'er's father, the death of his mother, and Tang Sai'er, who had suffered the destruction of his family, was only sad and angry in his heart, so he began to revolt with the help of the White Lotus Sect.
Third, the momentum is huge
At that time, Tang Sai'er organized a rebel army in the territory of present-day Qingzhou, Shandong, killed the commander of Qingzhou and then opened a warehouse to release grain, which won the hearts of the people. Subsequently, a large number of civilians joined the rebel army, and Tang Sai'er's rebellion grew stronger and stronger. The rebel armies in various places responded one after another, and their influence spread to nine prefectures and counties, including Zhucheng, Qingzhou, Shouguang, and Jimo, and wherever the rebels went, they punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, destroyed the official palace and burned granaries, which really caused a great impact.
Fourth, the uprising failed
Zhu Di did not strangle Tang Sai'er's rebel army at the first time, but chose Zhao'an, but how could Tang Sai'er, who was fighting for the people for the White Lotus Sect, accept Zhu Di's zhao'an? She killed the officials sent by Zhu Di and continued the uprising. Tang Sai'er's rebel army did experience several victories, but this victory did not last long, Zhu Di kept sending officers and soldiers in to encircle and suppress, and finally Tang Sai'er finally could not hold on, and the uprising failed. Although this uprising ended in failure, it caused a huge blow to the Ming Dynasty, and even more shocked the Ming Dynasty that developed with the peasant uprising.
According to historical records, after suppressing Tang Sai'er's rebel army, the imperial court gave relief to Qingzhou and Laizhou that month, and the Ming government finally made concessions to the suppression and persecution of the people, which was inseparable from Tang Sai'er's uprising.
What happened after the defeat of the Don Sai'er Uprising?
There have always been many opinions about her ending, and there is a theory that after the failure of the uprising, Tang Sai'er fled among the nuns, which is exactly in line with Zhu Di's later arrest of many nuns. There is also a saying that Tang Sai'er was killed in the last battle, but he was not found out.
It can be seen that Tang Sai'er, the female leader of the Rebel Army, has a variety of opinions on the failure of the uprising, in short, it will not be a good ending.
In fact, Tang Sai'er must have thought about her own end at the beginning of the uprising, but she still embarked on this road of no return, after all, the uprising may still have a glimmer of hope, and sitting and waiting for death is really only a dead end.
