Chapter 405 The Blood of Bazhou!
In 1974, this year also happened to be the penultimate year of Qianlong's rule, the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, but this year was also extremely disturbing as the previous year. Last year's Yingyi Rebellion shocked the world and the prestige of the court was greatly damaged, and there were countless people with bad intentions everywhere who were ready to move. Later White Lotus Sect The rebellion in the Xiangyang area swept almost half of the Qing Dynasty with a dry fire. Except for Manchuria, Tibet, Xinyi and Mongolia, the war burned almost every province of the Qing Dynasty.
On the ninth day of the third month of the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong, an uprising led by Xu Tiande and Wang Dengting broke out in Dazhou. An uprising led by Leng Tianlu and Wang Sanhuai broke out in Dongxiang (now Xuanhan), followed by an uprising led by Taiping Sun Zhiyu, Long Shaozhou and others.
On the seventh day of June, Feng Deshi, Lin Kaitai and Weng Luyu also led the White Lotus Uprising in Ankang and Mixi, Shaanxi.
On June 17th and 18th, there was a rainstorm in the Yanshan mountain area of the Chaobai and Yongding River in the north of the Haihe River Basin. From the 19th, the rainstorm moved south to the Huangtao River Basin and the Taihang Mountain Yingfeng Mountain to the south, and gradually penetrated into the riward mountainous area of the upper reaches of the Tuo Tuo River to the west. From the 22nd to the 24th, the rain intensified. There was a heavy rainstorm, and the rain gradually ended on the 25th and 26th. At the same time, heavy rain also occurred in the Qin and Danhe areas of the Yellow River Basin.
In addition, in the plain area of the Haihe River Basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Luan River Basin, there was another intense rainfall process from July 15th to 20th, which aggravated the disaster situation in the plain area of the Haihe River Basin that year, and also caused floods in the counties in the lower reaches of the Luanhe River Basin.
The distribution ranges from the middle and lower reaches of the Qing Dynasty, Yongding and Chaobai River in the north, to the middle and lower reaches of the Fuyang River, the Zhang River and the whole Weihe River in the south. The Qin and Danzhu Rivers in the Yellow River Basin are also covered by the rainstorm. The center of the rainstorm is mainly located in the Tuohe River Basin and the Weihe River Basin. In particular, heavy rains occurred in the Tuo River Basin, from Zhengding to Wutai, Daixian, Fanzhi and other prefectures and counties in the Taihang Mountain riward area, causing a huge flood in the main stream of the Tuo River for thousands of years.
More than 4,700 villages in 20 prefectures and counties were affected, and millions of people were affected. However, the 17,000 Qing army, which had just been transferred from Manchuria and stationed in the area of Bazhou, did not suffer much loss, but the materials were swept away by the flood.
--------------------
The Qing army in the area of Zhili also suffered more or less material losses, and the flood lasted for seven days before retreating. After that, because it was difficult to transport the food and fodder in the rear, and the officials of Bazhou opened warehouses to release grain in order to ensure that the people in the territory would not lose control. However, the one who lost food and fodder Although some Manchurian flag troops did not lose their share, there was not much grain in Bazhou. In addition, the people of the surrounding villages and towns gathered in Bazhou. In a short time, nearly half of the barn grain had been consumed, and the officials of Bazhou had to be reduced. However, in this way, the four people made noise and even robbed those who wanted to be transported to the Eight Banners of Manchuria. The food in it.
At this time, Jilin General Hengxiu, the commander of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, was annoyed and ordered the civilians who robbed food and grass to be arrested and executed for the crime of white lotus bandits. Moreover, the troops began to plunder everywhere.
And several relatives of Bazhou tycoon Li Huaiwen also asked Jilin General Hengxiu's subordinates to raid the house. Not one was allowed in the whole house, and even his sister was annihicuted by the Eight Banners of Manchuria. In anger, he scattered all his family money and gathered more than a thousand Zhuangding. When the eight flags of Manchuria went out of the city to plunder, they attacked a large house in the east of the city of Bazhou County at night and became the temporary residence of the general of Jilin.
And it was also the carelessness of General Hengxiu of Jilin. The whole army was sent out to plunder the money and sweep the "white lotus bandits". As only one battalion of soldiers left, and in addition, he also left several battalions of soldiers in Bazhou City. Therefore, he thought he was very safe, so he was playing hide-and-seek at night with his new beauty. With a cavity of blood and hatred, Li Huaiwen came to play with the Jilin general's collective hide-and-seek with more than a thousand hatreds.
These Zhuangding people are just ordinary people, but as the saying goes, those who are afraid of being stunned, those who are afraid of being arrogant, and those who are afraid of being arrogant. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are horizontal enough, but these Zhuangding people who have angered the soldiers of the Eight Banners no longer want to die, and in the area of Hebei, there are many people who practice martial arts, even among the people who go to play hide-and-seek with General Jilin.
So, a tragic life-and-death battle began in the east of Bazhou City at night. That night, there was a chaos in Bazhou City, and the fire that did not know when it was ignited turned half of Bazhou into ruins. Li Huaiwen died under the knife of Jilin General Hengxiu. However, Jilin General Hengxiu was also chopped into meat mud.
Because the eight flags of Manchuria lost their officials, their brains were congested, and they actually raised butcher knives to the civilians in the city, but Bazhou City almost let the angry Eight Banners of Manchuria slaughter half of Thailand.
The four fields of Bazhou are almost naked, and several surrounding counties have also been affected. In just two days, more than 70,000 people were killed by the swords of the eight flags of Manchuria. The people of the surrounding prefectures and counties have also been aroused. At the instiction of the Bailian Sect, Wu Ping, a native of the Baigoudian, pulled up the anti-flag, gathered the disaster victims, and attacked Xincheng County in one fell swoop with the Bailian Sect in Xincheng County.
By the time the capital division received the news, the southern part of Zhili had also ignited a blazing fire. It was not only the Beijing Normal University's shock, but also the Central Plains area was already full of wind and cranes, and officials from all over the country wrote to impeach the atrocities of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
Qianlong was furious, but the culprit, Jilin General Hengxiu, has died, which made the angry people of Nahazhou chop into a pool of indistinguishable rotten meat mud, and the 17,000 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers are all the children of the Eight Banners. Although there is no misguided relationship between the children of the Beijing Banner, but Yes, there are also a lot of clans inside, such as yellow belts and red belts. He can't kill them all, so this army was demoted to the first class and driven out of the customs.
For Qianlong, this kind of treatment is considered to be the most appropriate treatment for him, but in fact, all the scholars in the world looked on coldly, and the readers in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other coastal areas picked up the atrocities of the Qing army banned by the Qing court who flowed back from overseas. Compared with the books, a sense of dissatisfaction with the court and the ruling class has spread to the hearts of those readers. Although they still dare not speak, dissatisfaction already exists. The old things such as Jiading Santu and Yangzhou Shiyu have been mentioned again in the people, and the undercurrent has been surging in the people.
--------------------
On August 15, Luo Qiqing, Gou Wenming, Ran Wenyu, Xian Dachuan, Ran Tianyuan and others rose up in Bazhou, Tongjiang and other places respectively. From the beginning, the white lotus followers used "white cloth wrapped around the head, white flag as the slogan" and posted the battle slogan of "Big fights and small fights are unfair, and fire virtue stars fall from the sky".
The white lotus followers have also established their own regimes, established their own years, and appointed officials at all levels. For example, the white lotus religion in Xiangyang, Hubei Province is the year of "wanli", and the white lotus religion in Changyang is the year of "day luck". The Xiangyang army has the prime minister, governor, magistrate, magistrate and other civilian positions, as well as marshals, vanguards, generals and other military positions.
Fukang'an gathered several provincial soldiers and horses, first pointing the finger at Hubei in an attempt to concentrate troops. The white lotus religion in Xiangyang was annijurated in one fell swoop.
Mingliang, Ehui, Qingcheng and other cavalry led the Qing army and the newly released "Mongolian horse-stealing criminals" in Henan and Hubei provinces surrounded the Bailian followers of Xiangyang. However, soon, it was successfully broken through by the Bailian followers who had attacked Xiangyang and Fancheng. Qi Lin led one of the Bailian followers of more than 20,000 people, down the South River, bypassed the defense line of the Qing army, broke through the horse fence and Qing army, and then attacked Fang County, and the Qing army lost more than 3,000 people.
After opening warehouses and releasing grain in Fang County, Qi Lin's army made a posture of wanting to go north to enter the customs. Bright and 20,000 Shaanxi-Gansu green battalions set up a defense line in the area of Wudang Mountain. Unexpectedly, Qi Lin led 10,000 elites, day and night, and galloped hundreds of miles, and unexpectedly took down Xing'an Mansion, an important town in Shaanxi. The whole country is sensational. Later, the white lotus followers in Shaanxi were like a cloud. In less than half a year, they actually focused on nearly 100,000 people, and even the counties around Kexing'an Prefecture, such as Ziyang, Xunyang and Hanyin. Bingfeng pointed directly to Hanzhong, with the south connecting Sichuan, and the north rejecting Gansu...
And another Wang Conger, Yao Zhifu and others broke into the border area between Henan and Hubei. Moreover, Wang Conger once led an elite soldier out of Suizhou to attack Xiaogan through Anlu, which shocked Wuchang. He immediately dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses to defend Wuchang. After Wang Conger led the army to attack Wuchang several times, he knew that it was not You can retreat for this, but the Qing army is in the process of taking over the battle, with a number of generals, participating generals Fu Chengming, guerrilla Liang Shouxin, etc.
In the south, northern Guangxi is now rotten. Guangdong soldiers and Guangxi soldiers have been transferred to defend Guilin Prefecture together, but the land north of Guilin has entered the White Lotus Sect. He went westward and joined hands with the Miao people in Guizhou to take Lipingfu in Guizhou.
"... The destructive power of these people is really serious. Now, the White Lotus Sect has formed a mess with the Qing army in this area. There is a mess with the enemy in me, and the Qing army is also very uncomfortable. The Eight Banners have long been a waste, and the green camp has long been unbearable. The soldiers that can be used are other than the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp. Ha ha... It seems that it is really difficult to estimate how long this chaos will take. However, Bailian Religion does not have a general view of the situation. Although it can turn upside down, in the end, it is still difficult to become a big weapon. Ni Ming stretched out the baton in his hand and pointed to the huge map. After telling Liang Pengfei and others about the latest battle situation, he made a clear summary. It's a pity that it's the people of the world who suffer.
Hearing this, everyone present was silent. The cigar head in Liang Pengfei's mouth looked more red. The thick smoke spewed out of his mouth and nose, and the cold star flashed in his pupils, like an enraged dragon.
