During the reign of Kangxi, Hu Weihua of Xian County gathered a group of people to prepare for rebellion under the name of burning incense and offering sacrifices. The place where he lived, walking along Dacheng and Zhang'an, was only less than 300 miles away from the capital; if he walked along Qingxian County and Jinghai, it was only 200 miles away from Tianjin. It can be said that the distance between these two locations is still very close.
Hu Weihua planned to divide the troops into two routes, all the way to the capital by surprise day and night; the other route was straight to Tianjin, ready to control all the ships moored in Tianjin Port. In this way, if things go well in the capital, the soldiers and horses in Tianjin will also fight in the direction of the capital. If things don't go well in the capital, then the soldiers and horses in the capital can escape in the direction of Tianjin, and then all of them board the Shanghai ship and sail out of Tianjin Port. Hu Weihua's plan can be said to be well advanced and retreated, but when Hu Weihua was deploying orders and appointing officers to his subordinates, he accidentally leaked the news. The officers and soldiers who got the news also hastily gathered and went to Xian County to calm the chaos. Finally, officers and soldiers surrounded Hu Weihua's disorderly soldiers and burned them with fire attacks. Even young children could not escape.
At first, Hu Weihua's father could be considered a rich man for a hundred miles, but Hu Weihua's father liked to help the poor and did nothing too bad, so he was still very famous in the surrounding towns.
Hu Weihua's father had an old Confucian neighbor named Zhang Yueping, and this old woman had a very beautiful daughter, who could be called a national beauty and a natural fragrance. Hu Weihua's father occasionally saw this daughter and was immediately intoxicated. But Zhang Yueping usually had a good character and was particularly pedantic, so it was absolutely impossible to marry such a beautiful daughter to Hu Weihua's father as a concubine.
But Hu Weihua's father wanted this beautiful woman very much, so he had a trick. Hu Weihua's father first invited Zhang Yueping to come to the house as a tutor. After a long time, Zhang Yueping and Hu Weihua's father became close. Once the two were drinking and chatting together, Zhang Yueping thought that her parents' coffins were far away in Liaodong, and couldn't help but sigh. Hu's father thought it was a good opportunity, so he funded Zhang Yueping to transport his parents' coffins back, and sent Zhang Yueping to a cemetery to bury his parents.
However, there was a corpse buried in the cemetery that Hu's father gave Zhang Yueping, and the corpse died unexpectedly. What's more coincidental is that the corpse had a grudge against Zhang Yueping before his death. So the government naturally imprisoned Zhang Yueping and wanted to use the murder case to try the matter, but Hu's father tried every means to defend Zhang Yueping, and finally released Zhang Yueping. Although Zhang Yueping was very grateful to Hu's father for saving her, she was still very resistant to her daughter marrying into Hu family as a concubine. Hu's father also gradually began to get angry.
One day, Zhang Yueping's wife took her daughter to her parents' house, because the three sons were still young, so Zhang Yueping stayed at home to take care of the three children. Hu's father felt that the time was ripe, so he instructed the family to secretly block all the doors and windows of Zhang Yueping, and then a fire burned Zhang Yueping's house to the ground. Zhang Yueping's three sons were also trapped inside and burned to ashes by the fire. After that, Hu's father pretended to be surprised, held a funeral for Zhang Yueping, and took Zhang Yueping's wife and daughter back from their parents' house, and has been supporting their living needs.
Zhang Yueping's widow naturally took Hu's father as a source of support, and Zhang Yueping's wife would always ask Hu's father if she encountered any undecided matters. When someone wanted to marry Zhang Yueping's daughter, Hu's father would always secretly resist, causing Zhang Yueping's daughter to be unable to marry.
After a long time, Hu's father naturally expressed his desire to take Zhang Yueping's daughter as a concubine to Zhang Yueping's widow, but Zhang Yueping's wife was kept in the dark and did not know that it was Hu's father caused her family to be separated between yin and yang. On the contrary, she was very grateful to Hu's father for his care over the years. In addition, her daughter had been unable to marry, and she was also very willing to marry her daughter to Hu's father as a concubine. Although her daughter was very reluctant, she still followed her mother's order and married in the past, but she was always unhappy. After just over a year, her daughter died of depression, but before her death, she gave birth to a son, Hu Weihua.
Back then, Hu's father blocked Zhang Yueping's four people at home and secretly set them on fire to death. Now Hu Weihua is surrounded by officers and soldiers because of the rebellion. The same old and young family was also engulfed in the fire.
