Activities in Zhang Lexing.

Zhang Lexing's hometown is now Zhanglaojia Village, Wobei Street, Guoyang County. When he was young, his family had more than 500 acres of land and he was a rich man. However, he is generous in helping and sympathizing with the poor. Later, he helped many poor people with his family wealth, so he was respected as a righteous man by the villagers. Before the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty was raised, Zhang Lexing often led the people to fight against bullies and save the people in his hometown. At that time, there was a master Hou Yongqing in Hou Ji. He took a troupe and sang wherever he went. As long as the venue is open, whether you listen to the opera or not, you have to collect money per head. Even if it rains, you can't sing. You must take care of your meal. The people hated Hou Yongqing and his troupe, and made up a jingle to scold him: Hou Yongqing's play was not listened to and he was not angry; Straw cannons, red paper flags, gongs and drums resounded through the sky, and a chicken farm sprang out. Willing to rake the ground and not listen to Hou Laoyong's play; The more you think about it, the angrier you get. After Zhang Lexing knew this, he personally found Hou Yongqing to warn and stop him. Hou Yongqing didn't listen and still went his own way. Later, Zhang Lexing had someone kill Hou Yongqing, except a bully. 185 1 year (the first year of Xianfeng), it was rainy for a long time in northern Anhui, and the Yellow River burst in Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province. This winter, a refugee who fled from the north bank of the Yellow River to Zhang's hometown was caught picking sweet potatoes in a large family named Song in a neighboring village, and was beaten and scolded. Knowing this, Zhang Lexing said to the refugees, "You will continue to pick up sweet potatoes in the land called Song tomorrow. Don't be afraid. I am responsible for everything. " . The next day, after the refugees went, Zhang Lexing led the crowd to watch nearby. The big family named Song saw the refugees coming, just like yesterday, as fierce as wolves. Zhang Lexing came out in time to stop it, and as a result, there was a fight with the extended family, which led to the killing of four Song family members.

The extended family wrote a complaint to the Bozhou government (when Zhang's hometown was in Bozhou). Bozhou sent people to Zhang's hometown to capture Zhang Lexing. See Zhang Le dint, dare not make a move, people just said to Zhang Lexing, please go to the city to make a reservation. But Zhang Lexing refused, and said to the bearer, Your magistrate wants to see me and ask him to lead troops to fight with me. The bearer had to leave despondently. Later, the magistrate knew that he was invincible and did not dare to delve into it.

Since then, Zhang Lexing has established a high prestige among the refugees and the local poor, and the refugees rushed to join and gathered together, which laid the foundation for his later uprising. 1March, 863, the Nian army was defeated, and Zhang Lexing only led more than ten riders to break through. On March 23, Zhang Le Xing took his son Zhang Xi and his adopted son Wang Waner to Xiyang Ji (now Xiyang Town, Guoyang County) and spent the night in the stockade of Li Jiaying of Nian Army Lanqi Army. At this time, Li Jiaying has defected. On the surface, he warmly received Zhang Lexing and his son, but at dawn the next day, he secretly sent the tip-off to Han Ying, Suzhou. Han Ying led Yong ying and blue flag soldiers to revolt, arrested Zhang Lexing and his son, and sent them to Sanglinqin camp. On February 18th, the second year of Tongzhi, Zhang Lexing, his son Zhang Xi and his son Wang Waner died in Yimenji, Zhou Ying. Legend has it that Zhang Lexing didn't stand on his knees and ignored the monk's toast before he died. The monk leader asked, why did you rebel? Zhang Lexing replied in awe: I am the one who harms others and myself, and you are the one who harms others and yourself. The monk leader was helpless and ordered him to be executed within the year. It is also recorded that the monk had threatened and induced him to write letters to Zhang Zongyu and Ren Huabang abroad. Instead of giving in, he cursed Monk Qin and denounced some traitors. Zhang Lexing died a generous and tragic death. It is said that when the executioner executes, he first pulls the intestines out of the anus with an iron hook, and then executes them in the middle of the year. As soon as the bad news came out, the people on both sides of the Wohe River sang the following ballad with great sadness: It hurts to look at Yimen, tears burst down when looking at King Wo, and the sun has lost its light since then ... This ballad expressed people's infinite nostalgia for this leader of the Nian Army who fought against the Qing Dynasty.
