The Luanzheng Era, or simply Luanzheng (Chinese: 亂政時代; pinyin: Luàn zhèng shídài; 'Political Chaos Era'), or, more neutrally, the Six Long Years (六長年), was a period of political violence, massacres, attacks, coup d'etats, and demonstrations in the Tseng Republic in the 1960s.

It started with the Longtan Coup on March 11, 1962, where Tsengian Socialist Union (TSU) president Jack Lin was killed and disposed of by communists in the Longtan Complex in Longtan, Tseng City-Capital, and ended on December 23, 1968 (although minor clashes occurred up until the early 70s), when president Stephen Yang repealed Bill 643. Bill 643 was a law signed by Yong Ming-chun on July 13, 1958 that outlawed all far-left political parties in Tseng. That meant that all leftists, moderates and communists, were grouped into one party, the PDP. This led to severe internal conflict and eventually the far-left members of the party killed Jack Lin, who they felt was too "far-right". They replaced him with Frederik Bao, a socialist and Maoist.

Early years (1962-1964)
Bao's ascension to power was not widely received by many people around the country, which amplifed following the institution of many authoritarian measures. The TSU and the Communist Party of Tseng were declared to be the only legal parties in Tseng, while all elections, presidential, state, and local were all suspended. A state of emergency was put under the entire country by April, and Bao created the Hongjing, a secret police that aimed to repress all dissidents.

However, some extreme leftists, including the Red Saviors, led by Korean-born Harold Kim, decided that Bao was not going fast enough and wanted to turn Tseng into a fully fledged communist state, propped by the Soviet Union, by the end of the year. As a result, there was conflict between the two, which was increased by the fact that Bao supported China and Kim supported the USSR during the.

Meanwhile, militant right-wing groups began forming to fight against the Bao dictatorship, including the New Order, a neo-fascist and neo-Nazist organization whose first act was to bomb the Central Bank of Tseng in Tseng City in December 1962. As early as 1963, many accused the United States of funding these right-wing organizations, which became true following President 's apology for supporting the organizations and the later military junta in 1992.
