300 Revolt

However, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and it is this Third Amendment that directly leads to the outbreak of direct large-scale conflict between indigenous tribes and new immigrants.

One day in April 1677, in Linshan County, at the western end of the island state of New Qiongzhou, Australia, an Aboriginal tribe attacked the public nursery of the local government@government.

At that time, hundreds of adult Aboriginal males stormed the nursing home in the dark of night, wounding and detaining the guards, female caregivers and nurses.

They took 30 indigenous children hostage and performed the rites of inception on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the leader of the tribe told the ** people who came to negotiate that these young children were from their own tribe and were stolen by new immigrants! Not what you claim you brought into the sanatorium to escape the plague in the jungle!

The tribal leader also reprimanded the person sent to negotiate to his face, and he shouted angrily:

"There has never been a plague in the jungle before, but it has been rampant since the arrival of new immigrants!"

At the end, the agitated tribal leader shouted angrily:

"You are devils! Our children and grandchildren and our future have been stolen by you! ”

Then, the natives kicked the negotiators out of the nursery.

Clearly, the denunciations of the tribal leaders were of little avail, and that their illegal acts of violence against their upbringing led to even more serious consequences.

The local police and the natives were in a stalemate until the next afternoon, when an infantry company of marines, which was conducting military training on a nearby island, received a telegram from the new commander-in-chief, Zhou Rui, ordering the unit to suspend training and immediately put an end to the "law and order case."

Soon after, the Marines raided the Linshan Nursery School, and according to the casualties after the battle, the indigenous tribe lost 200 strong men, but the nursery also suffered 10 casualties.

After the grave violence was reported in the newspapers, news spread quickly through the bush and quickly sparked great anger among Aboriginal tribes in all regions except northern Australia.

In June of that year, thousands of armed Aboriginal men suddenly attacked the railway hub of Australia's largest city, --- Xinyangcheng Railway Station, and the aborigines set fire to the waiting hall, disrupting the city's external railway traffic for nearly three days, the attack caused great economic damage and serious social panic.

Immediately afterwards, the indigenous tribes of central Australia also began to riot one after another, and finally broke out in the history of the "Isa Mine Incident".

The incident occurred on the morning of June 30, 1677.

At that time, more than 10,000 armed indigenous men suddenly poured out of the jungle near the Isa Valley, and they roared and attacked the Isa copper mine area on a large scale, causing a large amount of human and property damage, the largest casualties of which were some local indigenous tribes who had labor cooperation with the mines.

Eventually, the rebel aborigines surrounded the headquarters of the company in Mount Isa by destroying mining equipment, cutting down power poles, ripping off railroad tracks, and destroying buildings, resulting in the disruption of rail transportation and cable telegraph and telephone communications across the north and south of the Australian continent.

What is even more serious is that Cao Limei, then chairman and president of "Aotuo Mining", was inspecting the mine work here, and as a result, she and her 300 employees, 400 members of the armed mine protection team, more than a dozen local civil servants, more than 100 policemen, teachers, and more than 300 students, a total of more than 1,000 people, were besieged in the headquarters building and surrounding buildings for three days and two nights.

After receiving a radio distress signal, Yue Chu, then commander of the Federal Mounted Police, personally led six mounted police companies and the armed forces of the headquarters to totaling more than 1,200 cavalrymen, and set off overnight by train from Panlong Fort at the mouth of the Panlong River.

The sudden arrival of the Federal Mounted Police caught the natives by surprise, and the natives panicked, and the brigade quickly broke up, and finally temporarily relieved the siege of the mine.

But the grave situation at the Isa mine was not over, and just one day later, more natives poured out of the surrounding jungle, estimated to number more than 40,000!

Thousands of them were also armed with firearms common to the newcomers and more advanced weapons such as iron scimitars, spears and bows.

Obviously, the indigenous tribes have been planning this operation for a long time, and at this point, the Federal Mounted Police led by Yue Chu and Cao Limei's subordinates are about to fall into the danger of being besieged again.

In order to avoid falling into this dangerous situation again, Yue Chu led the Federal Mounted Police to take the lead, protecting Cao Limei and her subordinates to break through all the way north at night, and at this time everyone who could hold a gun, regardless of men, women, and children, participated in the breakout battle.

Fortunately, due to the poor communication of the Turen organization and the lack of ability to organize at night, Yue Chu's mounted police team finally protected Cao Limei and her deployment and the local new immigrant residents to break out of the encirclement.

During the battle at Linchen, the mine guards also suffered casualties, and in the face of more and more natives roaring in, the people fought and retreated, walking along the badly damaged railway line in the direction of Panlong Fort.

After paying the price of dozens of casualties in the battle, the Federal Mounted Police and the mine protection team finally protected Cao Limei and the local people from escaping.

However, instead of leaving and returning to the jungle, the natives once again stormed the empty mine, where they smashed and burned everywhere, destroying the entire mine's industrial facilities and leveling most of the buildings on the ground.

A week later, Wei @Hong, then commander of the Second Brigade of the Federal Army, personally led five fully manned mixed infantry battalions of the Second Brigade, totaling more than 6,500 soldiers, to land at the mouth of the Panlong River, and arrived by train two days later near Mount Issa.

On July 15, more than 6,000 soldiers of the 2nd Brigade of the Federal Army, led by Wei @ Hong, went head-to-head with the current 45,000 indigenous men in the wilderness of the Isa steppe.

Although the natives were superior in numbers, and their tactical organization and weapons were much more advanced than in the past, they were now facing the regular army of the Federation, and it was the second brigade of the "Foreign Legion", ----which claimed to be the most powerful in the federal army.

At ten o'clock that morning, when Wei @ Hong had just arrived in the wilderness ten kilometers away from the Isa mines, the army encountered the natives, and an hour later, more than 40,000 native men gathered and gave an angry cry to the enemy on the opposite side, and a few minutes later, resolutely launched three heroic group charges against the temporary positions of the Second Brigade.

However, the Natives' charge was quickly routed by the Second Brigade, armed with imitation Lee Enfeld rifles, Maxim machine guns, and 92 infantry guns.

For a time, the wilderness under Mount Isa was full of mourning, and the corpses of the natives were flowing rivers of blood in the grassland, and the grass on the ground was dyed red one by one, and the blood that invaded the soil made the artemisia grass here grow wildly in the coming year.

Thus, the almost one-sided massacre that once took place here made this vast grassland valley remembered: the "Valley of Tears" hence its name......

At the cost of 53 seriously wounded and 75 lightly wounded, the 2nd Brigade of the Federal Army lost 25,000 soldiers to the indigenous tribes of central Australia.

The battle continued until noon, when the demoralized natives retreated, and they sank into the surrounding jungle and never came out again.

At this point, the Isa mine incident was finally quelled by force.

However, the stubborn resistance of the indigenous people on the Australian continent did not stop because of this, and soon after, there was a series of aboriginal tribes attacking ports, pastures and plantation estates in the eastern coastal areas, and it is estimated that nearly 200,000 aboriginal people participated.

Seeing all this, the people in the Red Chamber finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and the then Federal President Sun Shaoxing resigned from the presidency on the grounds of advanced age.

A few days later, Vice President Xu Zhi acted as president and declared a state of emergency, while indefinitely shelving the long-planned Second Australia-Qing War in favor of the vast Australian outback.

This is the large-scale counter-insurgency operation called the "Chengdingli War" in the history books, and it is also a unique civil war since the founding of the Australian Federation.
