Several of them first went to the jail to release the prisoners, and then went to the magistrate's house. The magistrate's wife had already heard the noise and escaped with pillows in her arms. Liang Wenxiu grabbed the county magistrate's son and daughter, tore them in half, and then returned to Luotuo Cliff to prepare for rebellion. The poor people in nearby villages heard that Liang Wenxiu had rebelled. Before dawn, more than 100 people came to Luotuoya Village to rebel with Liang Wenxiu. So Liang Wenxiu took his mother and people to Dahongzhai at the junction of Dengfeng, Linru and Yu counties. When they arrived at Dahongzhai, there were more than 1,000 people in the uprising. When the county magistrate saw that Liang Wenxiu had rebelled, he went to Luoyang Mansion to invite troops to suppress him. Liang Wenxiu sent people to set up an ambush at Xuanyuan Pass, killing more than half of the Qing soldiers, and the rest fled back to Luoyang with their tails between their legs. When the Luoyang magistrate saw that something was not going well, he reported it to the court, and the court sent tens of thousands of people to station in Dengfeng in an attempt to annihilate Liang Wenxiu. At this time, Liang Wenxiu's army had grown to four to five thousand people. They often went down the mountain to attack the government and evil gentry, and distributed all the captured grain to the poor people. After the official army arrived, Liang Wenxiu led the rebel army to fight with the official army at Baiping River. Liang Wenxiu's mother also knew a little about astronomy and geography, and often took command on the battlefield. The official army was defeated three times. When the officers and soldiers saw that they could not defeat Liang Wenxiu, they surrounded Dahong Village in an attempt to trap the rebels. The officers and soldiers used chicken cannons to bombard the mountain stronghold from time to time. After all, they were outnumbered. Coupled with the lack of food and grass, the rebels also suffered heavy losses. Two months later, Liang Wenxiu's mother was watching the battle when the Qing army fired artillery on the mountain again. Unfortunately, Liang Wenxiu's mother was shot and killed. Liang Wenxiu was a filial son. After burying his mother, he said with great sadness that it would be disloyal for me to rebel against the court and unfilial to kill my mother. I had no shame in living in this world. After saying this, he was about to commit suicide. At this time, his subordinates, especially the people from Luotuoya Village, tried to dissuade him and said, "What will happen to us people if you die? You can't leave your brothers alone!" Liang Wenxiu, who was usually very loyal, agreed when he heard this. He said to the brothers: "Sooner or later, we will not be able to defend this stronghold. Why don't we all go home to support our parents, wives and children!" So he asked the rebels to make many small lanterns, and the trees on the mountain were all hung. When the army saw the bright lights on the mountain, they did not dare to attack easily. The rebels went down the mountain at night, and people from Gongxian, Linru, Yuxian and other counties went back to their homes. However, those in Dengfeng could not go home. If they were caught by the government, they would be beheaded. Liang Wenxiu led these people to kill the pursuing officers and soldiers, and moved all the way west, beating them away. Every few dozen miles they walked, they gave some trouble to the brothers who wanted to go home, and slowly got rid of the officers and soldiers, and finally walked all the way to In Hu County, Shaanxi Province, he settled there anonymously. More than ten years later, Liang Wenxiu bribed the government and returned to his hometown. In his later years, he repeatedly told his descendants that the Liang family's martial arts must not be lost. They must practice boxing to strengthen their bodies and protect their families and the country, but they must not cause trouble or bully their neighbors.
