Tang Sai'er, Wang Cong'er, Wang Nangxian, and Lin Hei'er in later generations are all more famous characters in Chen Shuo's real and fart worms.

So after talking about Wang Cong'er, let's talk about Wang Nangxian.

Wang Nangxian (1777-1797), female, Buyi nationality, real name Wang Achong (also known as A Cong), since childhood martial arts, can use witchcraft to cure people's diseases, in the form of religion to organize the Buyi people uprising, the folk called Nangxian (Buyi language, meaning Xiangu); The Qing court sent a large army to suppress it, causing the Buyi army to gradually fall into a predicament and gradually retreat; captured the Buyi army's base area and captured Wang Nangxian and others; escorted him to Beijing in a prisoner cart, and executed Wang Nangxian Lingchi on the seventh day of the 11th lunar month (December 24, 1797) at the age of 20.

Wang Nangxian (1777-1797), formerly known as Wang Acong, was born in Dongsa Village, Chengnan Township, Nanlongfu (now Anlong County, Xingyi City, Guizhou Province). After the Qing rulers implemented the policy of "changing the land and returning it to the stream" in Guizhou, class exploitation and national oppression intensified; Qing officials, landlords, and usurers entered the areas inhabited by the Buyi nationality one after another, and colluded with the local rural Tumu, Tingmu, and gangsters to jointly exploit and oppress the peasants, and occupied a large amount of land. It is used for weddings and funerals, banquets, accommodation, transportation and all eating, drinking, and entertainment. Feudal landlords, officials, and even soldiers on duty took every opportunity to extort and extort the people, and even wearing national costumes was punished for "violating the law". Under the cruel exploitation, in the second year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1797), an anti-Qing uprising broke out with the Buyi nationality as the main body and the Miao and Han ethnic groups participated in the uprising - the uprising lasted for 8 months, shocked the Qing court, and was a peasant revolutionary struggle in the southwest of Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty with a great shock and far-reaching impact. In the 60th year of Qianlong (1795), Hua Lianbu, the chief soldier of Nanlong Town, led the town army to suppress the uprising launched by Shiliu Deng in Songtao, and the defense of Nanlong was empty. Wang Nangxian and Wei Chaoyuan waited for the opportunity to plan an uprising, and in the winter of the following year (1796). With the woodcut as a signal, the masses from all over the country were notified to go to the cave and gather in the zhang, and the Buyi farmers "obeyed", and the poor farmers of the Miao, Han and Yi ethnic groups also rushed to respond, and thousands of people gathered in the two villages one after another. Gong recommended Wang Nangxian and Wei Chaoyuan as leaders. At the same time, build an organization. According to the military, government, witch three categories to give titles and titles, and then in the cave sprinkle, dangzhang two villages to repair the wooden fence, stone city, and gather grain, grass, equipment. Sang Hong, a Han Chinese who joined the rebel army from Fucheng and his family, was promoted to the mastermind and drafted a proclamation to plan the uprising. At the beginning of the first month of the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Huang Baoliang (the great prince) of the Beixiang Mafang Village of the Wei Dynasty Yuanming Mansion took the lead in the uprising, Huang killed the Tang soldiers in Beixiang, ignited the beacon fire of the uprising, captured Puping on the night of the outbreak of the uprising, cut off the way for the officers and soldiers of the South Cage to flee north, the next day, the rebels approached the suburbs of the South Cage City, surrounded the city, the prefect Cao Tingkui was panicked, touched the pillar and died; The general Yang Wenhai hurriedly transferred the township to bravely enter the city to defend, because the city was strong, the officers and soldiers were well-armed, and with the favorable terrain, condescending, and bombarded with artillery, although the righteous army bravely attacked the fortification, with the fire to burn the iron sheet on the city gate, still could not attack. During the siege, the Grand Duke was shot in the head and killed. After the Nanlong Uprising, Yongfeng Prefecture, Pu'an, Caiheng, Xincheng, Huangcaoba, and Touqi City were all surrounded by the rebel army, and the peasants of Buyi, Miao, and Yi in Yongning Prefecture (now Huajiang) and Guihua Hall (now Ziyun) in Anshun Prefecture, Guangshun Prefecture, Changzhai Hall (now Changshun), Dingfan (now Huishui) in Guiyang Prefecture, Weining Prefecture (now Weining), Qianxi Prefecture (now Qianxi), Pingyuan Prefecture (now Zhijin) and other places in Dading Prefecture also rose up in response to the uprising. The rebels surrounded their cities, and the Qing Dynasty garrison was in a panic, and the rebels surged to tens of thousands of people. The prestige of the rebel army shocked the Qing court, and the Jiaqing Emperor feared that Feng Guangxiong, the governor of Guizhou, would "take care of the difficult Zhou alone", and specially ordered the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who was suppressing the peasant uprising in Tongren, to "reduce the light cavalry and gallop to the southern cage", and ordered Zhu Long'a, Zhang Yulong and other generals to lead the troops to "go to the southern cage and arrest them quickly". The rebels everywhere fought a bloody battle with the officers and troops led by Le Bao and others for several months, and they were defeated one after another. On August 15 of the second year of Jiaqing, Le Bao mobilized all the town troops to encircle and suppress the two villages of Dongsa and Dangzhang. The rebels resisted, wielding broadswords and spears in hand-to-hand combat. Both villages were breached, and the rebels lit a blazing fire and threw themselves into the flames. Wang Nangxian and Wei Chaoyuan were exhausted and captured in the flames, and then the leaders of the four volunteer armies with Wang Huaming and Wei Baodu were escorted to the capital Lingchi to be executed, and Sang Hongsheng and other large and small leaders and the rebels were "all executed" on the spot. After that, the Jiaqing Qing court renamed the southern cage as Xingyi Mansion, transported all kinds of weapons of the righteous army to Guiyang, cast a big iron pillar, and erected it next to the Jiaxiu Building in Guiyang.

There are two different theories about whether Wang Nangxian practiced martial arts and fought in battle; neither Le Bao Song Fold nor Wang Nangxian's own confession mentioned that she practiced martial arts and went into battle to kill the enemy, but folklore said that Wang Nangxian was strong in martial arts and killed countless enemies. In the "Chronicles of Xingyi Mansion", it is recorded that she commanded the siege of the city under the attendant of a female general; in the "Dictionary of Chinese Minority Cultures", it is said that she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and in recent years, domestic research articles have also said that she fought in battle and took the lead bravely; it should be possible for a young woman to walk the rivers and lakes and organize armed uprisings, and to know martial arts. But her main role should be to mobilize the masses with religion, to boost morale and strengthen confidence, and in this respect there is a resemblance to the young French heroine Joan of Arc. Wang Nangxian's appearance is unanimously considered to be young and beautiful in folklore, and her appearance is vividly described in the folk narrative poem "Wang Xiangu": "Ah Cong (Wang Nangxian's nickname) grew up like a flower...... Looks more beautiful than camellias. The bamboo leaves in the back garden are good-looking, and there is no curvature from the eyebrows. The water of the Panjiang River is clear and clear, and it can't reach Ah Cong's eyes. ”

There are many different theories about Wang Nangxian's capture, and in Le Bao's compromise, Wang Nangxian said that when the Qing army captured Dongshang, Wang Nangxian saw that the general trend had gone, and set herself on fire in the inner city, and was dragged by Wang Hongxin and others from the fire to capture her. In the "Xingfu County Chronicles", it is said that Wang Nangxian was captured by the county Ma Tao and Zhang Dingbang, Liu Ziyu, etc., and in recent years, Zhou Chunyuan in the "Ancient History of Guizhou" in the monograph on the uprising of the Nanlong Buyi people has a different statement: when Lebao besieged Dongsa, Wang Nangxian took the lead, commanded the righteous army, and surrounded the Lebao army. Under the painful blow of Wang Nangxian, the Qing army was defeated, and Le Bao was almost captured and retreated in a hurry. But the rebels relaxed their vigilance, so that they were attacked by Le Bao that night, "Wang, Wei woke up in a dream, couldn't wear clothes, and fought naked", as a result, Wang Nangxian was captured by Tusi Longyue's sister (the original text is quoted from "Xingren County Chronicles"). In the folk legend "Southern Cage Soldier Anti-Song", it is said that during the battle of Dongshang, Wang Baoxian led the army to meet the battle in armor and won the first battle. Later, the Qing army attacked the righteous army with fire, and Wang Nangxian disguised himself as a man and took off, and was recognized by the landlord's armed forces, and took advantage of her unpreparedness to capture her alive and send her to the camp. Another Buyi folk poem, "Wang Xiangu", says that the Qing army arrested Wang Baoxian's parents and lured her into the city, and Wang Nangxian was wounded and captured after killing and wounding many Qing soldiers (this seems to be implausible).

After Wang Nangxian was captured, she was sent to Beijing, and the Qing court shackled her, locked her in a prisoner's car, escorted her with heavy soldiers, and ordered her to pass through the prefects of various prefectures and counties, and the prefects and local military attaches must "personally take over and accept the dismissal, so as to be cautious." Every time she entered and exited a province, the governor and the political envoy had to make a special presentation of the date of her entry and exit and the place of handover, which shows the importance attached to her (see the "Special Fold on the Transit Date of Wang Nangxian" by Wu Yu, the political envoy of Henan Province, on the 4th day of the first month of November, and the "Special Fold on the Date of Wang Nangxian's Entry" by Liang Kentang, the Governor of Zhili).

Wang Nangxian's death was undoubtedly executed by capital punishment Ling Chi, according to the criminal law of the Qing Dynasty, Ling Chi was the only way to execute a felony like her. The history books also say that she and several other Buyi army leaders "entered the capital to sacrifice prisoners and did their best" (磔 refers to Ling Chi), which shows that the death of this young heroine must have been executed by Ling Chi. In the folklore "Southern Cage Soldiers' Anti-Song", it is said that she was tortured to death in the capital with the corpse of five horses, which seems to be unbelievable, because the Qing Dynasty did not have such a punishment, that is, there would be extrajudicial punishment in remote areas, and it would be impossible in the capital.
