Chapter 393: Is it difficult for the Qianlong Dynasty to rebel?

"Poor brother come with me, I won't spare the big officials!"

"Poor brother come with me, I won't spare the big officials!"

In Qianzhou, Hunan, on the bank of the Wanrong River, Song Ruchun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Jiang Yao inspected by the Wanrong River, and the heads of the people who inspected Jiang Yao were already hanging high in the city of Qianzhou.

The entire city of Qianzhou was filled with Miao people wrapped in turbans, shouting slogans to kill corrupt officials and patrol the streets.

With the passionate shouting, more and more poor Miao and Han people in Qianzhou City who had eaten the last meal but did not have the next meal also shouted, "The poor brothers follow me, I will not spare the big officials!" The slogan followed the line.

A banner with the words Generalissimo of the Commander of the Army fluttered high, and a man with a dark complexion and a resolute face rode on a tall horse, heading towards the crowd, and the poor Miao people and Han people who shouted were even more excited, and they shouted 'Generalissimo' and 'Generalissimo'.

In the 58th year of Qianlong, the Sichuan, Guizhou, and Hunan borders continued to drought, and the streams in many places were cut off, and the Manchu government still beat one day at a time.

Shi Liudeng, a Miao citizen who practiced martial arts when he was young and made a living by selling straw sandals, could not bear the oppression, and began to use the slogan of killing corrupt officials, eating big households, and saving poor brothers to gather poor people to prepare for resistance.

At the end of the 58th year of Qianlong, a group of Han people came all the way from southern Hunan to find him, and it is said that they admired his courage to resist the Manchu Qing for his poor brothers, and offered 50 spontaneous firearms, 1,000 catties of gunpowder, 300 stainless steel waist knives, and 1,000 stainless steel spears.

With this batch of ordnance, Shi Liudeng immediately began to contact Shi Sanbao, the leader of the Miao people in the Yongsui Hall in Hunan, Wu August of the Miao people of the Qianzhou Dynasty, and Wu Bansheng of the Miao people of the Phoenix Hall, as well as the leaders of the Han and Tutun people in Xiushan, southeast Sichuan, who were also unwilling to endure the oppression of the Manchu Dynasty.

They agreed to launch an uprising together in Songtao, Guizhou, Qianzhou, Hunan, Fenghuang Hall, and Xiushan in southeast Sichuan at the same time.

After the uprising, they moved to the border of Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou provinces, and more and more landless poor peasants began to join them, and the entire Xiantao in eastern Qiandong and Qianzhou Hall and Phoenix Hall in western Hunan became a pot of porridge.

And today, they fought the most beautiful battle since the uprising, and they fought the important town of Qianzhou in western Hunan Province.

However, Shi Liu Deng, who was riding on a tall horse, knew that in Xiangxi, they could only do so, because further east, there was the central Hunan region with fertile land and strong Manchu control.

Although there are many poor people there, they are still barely living, and there are not many people who are willing to rebel with them, and the way out for the righteous army is not in central Hunan, but in eastern and northern Qiandong, which are even poorer than western Hunan.

"Brother Shi, do you really want to take everyone back to Qiandong? Why can't it be in Xiangxi, Qianzhou has been defeated by us, such a good place, why give up? ”

In the official office of the former governor of Qianzhou, one of the leaders of the rebel army, Wu August, a native of Qianzhou, frowned and looked at Shiliu Deng.

As a native of Qianzhou, he also laid down the city of Qianzhou, which is the time of scenery, of course he doesn't want to follow Shiliu Dunxi to Songtao.

Shi Liu Deng looked at Wu August and shook his head gently, "The court full of dogs has transferred the general Fukangan from the capital to the south, we haven't beaten down the Phoenix Hall in the north of Qianzhou, and the Chenzhou Mansion in the east has not been beaten down, and this place will soon be surrounded by dogs, Brother August, we must go back to the mountain of Xiantao to deal with them!" ”

In fact, in addition to this reason, Shi Liu Deng also has some selfishness, he was not originally called Shi Liu Deng, the word Liu Deng, in fact, in the Miao language of Qiandong, means to guard the hometown and defend the hometown.

As a poor Miao man who grew up in Songtao, he took Liu Deng as his name, because he felt that it was necessary for him to return to Songtao and lead his hometown fathers and elders to kill corrupt officials and divide the fields to live a good life.

Wu August glanced around, and the other leaders of the rebel army, Shi Sanbao, Wu Bansheng and others, all supported returning to Songtao, and Wu August had no choice but to nod.

"Brother Shi, I listen to you, but I heard that Ming Antu, the general soldier of Qinggou's Zhengan Town, has been stationed in Pandakou near Songtao to prevent us from going back to Songtao."

Seeing that Wu August did not insist on staying in Qianzhou anymore, Shiliu Deng smiled, "Brother August, don't worry, we have 20,000 brothers who are like arrows, so if Ming Antu dares to stop us, we will hang him on the wall of Songtao like this Song Zhizhou!" ”

Just when Shi Liu Deng was preparing to return to Qiandong from Xiangxi with tens of thousands of Miao people's righteous army, Nanlong Mansion in southern Qiannan was also on the eve of turmoil.

If the Miao uprising in eastern and western Qianxi was due to natural disasters, the great uprising in Nanlongfu in southern Qiannan was completely man-made.

Speaking of Anlong, there is also a relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the name of Anlong, because Emperor Yongli once lived here for four years and used it as a palace.

It is precisely because Anlong was the place where Emperor Yongli was stationed, and this important transportation place in southern Qiannan became the most guarded place for the Manchu court.

In the later period of Yongzheng, the tide of land reform and return to the stream came to Anlong Mansion, which has been renamed Nanlong Mansion, did you see this dragon character? My Qing Dynasty deliberately changed Anlong's dragon into a cage cage, the south cage, the south cage, alluding to the fact that Emperor Yongli was a dragon in a cage.

It's all done in the name of a prefecture, and it's completely imaginable what the scene of this place is like.

At this time, the Buyi tribe known as Zhongren sang in a ballad, "The official family is the most vicious, the toast is the most hateful, and they come to rob the fields and land opened by the fairy aunts!" ”

The Manchu officials took advantage of the opportunity to change the land and return to the stream, drove away the original Tusi of Anlong, and then let the Tusi, landlords, and usurers from other places loyal to the Manchu Qing enter one after another.

They colluded with the local rural areas, pavilions, and gangsters to exploit and oppress the peasants.

The new Tusi not only forced the peasants to farm for them almost free of charge, but also forced the peasants to perform all kinds of labor for them in ordinary times.

Feudal landlords, officials, and even soldiers also used every opportunity to extort and extort the people, and even the Buyi people wearing their own national costumes would be punished for violating the system!

There are so many taxes and miscellaneous taxes that even the Buyi people dare not hold a wedding, because they also have to pay taxes when they get married.

As for the land originally owned by the Buyi people, it was all occupied by them, and the remaining Buyi people could only continue to go deep into the mountains to beg for a living.

And when they have cultivated the ripe fields deep in the mountains, the toasters, landlords, and officials will 'justly' know about it, and then take away their ripe fields, leaving behind the food and seeds that can barely survive, and then drive them deeper into the mountains.

To put it bluntly, these black-hearted Tusi and officials are treating these people as tools for reclaiming wasteland for free, which is similar to the policy implemented by Ye Kai on the territory of the Zhenla people in Jiulongjiang, but the Manchu Qing side made it more cruel and ruthless.

This kind of day when even cattle and horses are inferior to cattle and horses has aroused a strong resistance from the Buyi people, and a little girl named Wang Nangxian seems to have been born for this rebellion!

Wang Baoxian's original name was Wang Acong, and Nangxian is an honorific title, which means fairy girl.

She is also familiar with herbal medicine, proficient in the ancient Buyi shaman religion, and often treats the Buyi people in the mountains for free and holds rituals to dispel illnesses and pray for blessings.

Therefore, she won the love of the Buyi people, Miao people and poor Han people in the mountains, the Buyi people called her a bag immortal, and the Han people called him the emperor fairy Niangniang,

With such prestige, the people of all ethnic groups who could not endure the oppression and were ready to resist naturally gathered under the banner of Wang Nangxian.

Among them, the Buyi bandit Qiqi Suwei Chaoyuan, as well as his disciples Wang Baoyang and Li Aliu, as well as the Han scholar Sang Hongsheng, who thought he could do great things, were the most famous.

Anlong Beixiang Cave Sprinkle Village, Wang Nangxian and others are making final preparations for the uprising, in this time and space, the Buyi and Miao people of Anlong have been more severely oppressed than in the original history.

The main reason is that there are legends everywhere, saying that Wang Nangxian invited down an acre of divine food from the sky for the Buyi people, which can beat more than 600 catties of rice.

That's a big deal! In the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, most of the fields have a yield of about 300 catties per mu, and this is also in the plain area, where the land is fertile and there is no lack of irrigation.

And on the high mountains of Anlong Mansion, one mu can produce 200 catties, even if it is a bumper harvest, as for one mu can produce 600 catties, it has never been heard of, it must be divine food!

It is the big and small officials of Anlong Mansion, the landlords and gentry who persecute the Buyi people on the mountain even more frantically, and they have repeatedly organized teams to arrest Wang Nangxian and ask the source of the divine food, there is no divine food, there must be no immortal treasures or the like?

But in fact, the king of Nangxian knows that she is a girl who is more powerful than ordinary people, and she does not have the ability to invite divine food from the sky, and those divine foods are actually rice brought back by Wei Chaoyuan from the south, or corn!

Speaking of corn, many people regard it as the divine food to solve the problem of Chinese eating, and it seems that with this thing, farmers throughout China can not starve.

But if you think about it seriously, you will know that this is complete nonsense, corn should have such a god, after liberation, before the reform, why are so many farmers starving?

And at this time, the corn is even more cheating, and the high-yield corn of later generations can almost reach a harvest of 1000-1200 catties per mu, but now Wang Nangxian and others can produce more than 500 to 600 catties of corn per mu, all of which have been strictly selected.

As a traverser, Ye Kai would of course notice such high-yield grains as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, but after really touching it, Ye Kai was dumbfounded!

Although corn has been spread to China for more than 100 years, the planting area is still pitiful, most of the farmers have never seen it, in the early days of Qianlong, General Sheng Jing even took the corn grown outside Shenyang as a rare thing, and sent it to the palace for me to taste Qianlong.

And the yield of corn is also very bad, compared with the drought-resistant and insect-resistant corn that has been grafted and selected in later generations, the current corn and the corn of later generations seem to be completely different species.

Now corn is very poor in drought and wind resistance, and it is not resistant to pests and diseases, a slight aphid can make you lose your grains, and a gust of wind can blow all the corn in the field!

And the yield per mu is also low, the dignified traverser artifact, the yield per mu is even lower than the yield of the three-cropping rice fields in the land of Jiaozhi!

Of course, although there are many problems with corn at this time, Ye Kai knows that it is indeed a life-saving grain that can be used in the future, but this requires long-term selection and breeding, and it also has the advantage of not occupying fertile land, and can be planted in large quantities on slopes and mountains.

Therefore, when Yixin University was first established, Ye Kai established the Department of Agronomy at Yixin University, which was specially used to cultivate high-yield corn.

After about three years of cultivation, Ye Xuanwu, a professor at Yixin University, a biologist who graduated from Heidelberg University and was almost selected for the Prussian Academy of Sciences, finally cultivated a relatively qualified corn variety.

This new variety of corn, both wind and drought resistance, the yield per mu can barely reach about 600 catties, after cultivating, and let the Gui family living in Gaoping carry out a trial planting, and achieved good results.

The same potatoes are the same, after strict selection, the yield per mu can also reach about 700 catties.

As for sweet potatoes, the yield is a little higher than that of potatoes, but Ye Kai didn't pay much attention to sweet potatoes at all.

Because this thing is delicious to eat, and it tastes quite full, but in fact, you can only deceive your stomach, eat a big bowl of sweet potatoes, and as soon as you let go of two farts, you will be hungry in a blink of an eye.

Especially for this era when ordinary people lack oil and salt, sweet potatoes can give people a breath of relief in difficult times, but if you want to rely on him to survive, then save it!

In Ye Kai's view, this thing is also a benefit, feeding pigs, sweet potatoes can be fed to pigs, sweet potato leaves grow fast, can also be used to feed pigs, at the same time, chickens and ducks also like to eat, it is still very good to develop the breeding industry.

If there are any places in China that are best used to grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, it has to be Guizhou and Yunnan.

The temperature in these two places is okay, the sunshine is abundant, and there is a lot of rain, mainly mountainous areas, which are simply the most cost-effective places to grow corn and so on.

Therefore, Ye Kai brought the good seeds cultivated by Yixin University to Anlong Mansion through Wei Chaoyuan, and used the fame of Wang Nangxian to plant them on a large scale in the mountains of Anlong.

And the result of planting is that Wang Nangxian's immortal Gu reputation has risen to a higher level, and even with seven or eight students sent to help by the Department of Agriculture of Yixin University, they have all become immortals in the sky.

As for why Wei Chaoyuan was so cooperative, it was because before he returned to Anlong Mansion to make trouble, he was actually a bandit who was a rice master in Guibei.

Ye Kai discovered this rare Buyi bandit from the name reported by Master Ma, and then Ye Kai, who had long wanted to make the Qianjia Miao uprising more powerful, directly recruited Wei Chaoyuan to Shenglong.

Under careful questioning, Ye Kai determined that he was indeed the historical Wei Chaoyuan, and a plan was formed in Ye Kai's heart!

That is to catalyze the great uprising of the Nanlong Buyi people in advance, because the historical Qianjia and Miao uprisings were not as big as the Sichuan-Chu Bailian uprisings, and that was because Shi Liudeng and Wang Nangxian, who both belonged to the Qianjia and Miao uprisings, revolted one after the other, which gave the Manchu court a chance to breathe.

You must know that the chaos caused by the Qianjia and Miao uprisings is not small, and in history, Shi Liudeng and others really beat the Qing government badly.

In the mountains of eastern Qiandong, they dragged to death Fukangan, then the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and He Lin, the governor of Sichuan, and killed Hua Lianbu, the chief soldier of Nanlong Town, Guizhou, and Ming Antu, the chief soldier of Gan Town, Hunan Town.

The Qing government mobilized the green battalions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces to suppress it, sending more than 100,000 troops before and after, and spending more than 40 million taels of military spending.

This is just to pacify Shiliu Deng in Xiangxi and Qiandong, if you add Anlong's Wang Nanxian, the chaos will be even bigger!

The reason why the Sichuan-Chu White Lotus Sect uprising was so big was because the Manchu government had already spent a lot of vitality in suppressing the Miao uprising, and even the Manchurian Optimus White Jade Pillar like Fukangan died.

Moreover, because it wanted to suppress the Miao uprising, the Qing government mobilized all the elite green battalions in Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Chu and Liangguang, resulting in the emptiness of troops in Hubei and Sichuan.

In addition, they had to be apportioned on a large scale for military expenses, so that the poor shanty people in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan and Hubei who could not survive in the first place had no way to live, and they could only wait for death except to rebel, which allowed Wang Cong'er and others to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant.

This Songtao Shiliu Deng uprising, plus the Nancage Wang Nangxian uprising, plus the Sichuan-Chu White Lotus Sect uprising that was about to break out, without Ye Kai's hands, as long as the time catalyst of these three major uprisings is closer, the Manchu Qing can be knocked out half of his life!

So for a traveler who knows the general direction of history, is it difficult for the Qianlong Dynasty to rebel?

It was really difficult 40 years ago in Qianlong, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, it was almost impossible, but in the 40 years of Qianlong, especially after 50 years of Qianlong, it was really not difficult!
