Chapter 55 Expelling the Tartars and Recovering the Rivers and Mountains of My Han Family
The theme of the Yanjiapu Conference was only one, and that was to raise the anti-flag and overthrow the Manchu rule. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
To put it bluntly, it is rebellion, but how can you succeed if you rebel directly? Will others rebel with you? After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has ruled the land of China for more than 200 years, and it can be said that it is "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people".
Therefore, rebellion also needs a slogan or righteousness, which can make others follow you to rebel together, just like the rebellion of King Chuang at the end of the Ming Dynasty, just a sentence of "King Chuang comes and does not pay food", how many people follow King Chuang and directly overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
Yan also needs a slogan or righteousness, so that others can recognize you and follow you and rebel with you.
"Expelle the Tartars and restore my Han family's rivers and mountains!"
This is the slogan of the Yan family, and it is also the so-called righteousness, ascending to the heights and shouting, and the group responds.
Manchu Qing, Manchu Qing, millions of Manchus ruled over hundreds of millions of Han people, Manchus treated Han people as slaves and dogs, desperately squeezing, how could the Han people bow their heads forever?
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, countless Han people rose up, wanting to overthrow the Manchu rule, but unfortunately the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom died in internal strife, the ruling class no longer had the initial ambition, indulged in wine, and finally the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, and the entire land of China suffered a heavy blow.
Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement failed, the voice of the Han people unwilling to be ruled by the Manchus still appeared, and Yan Xueyi wanted to become the first person to erect an anti-flag after that (referring to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom).
However, others will not look at Yan Xueyi as soon as he put up the anti-flag and defected, but also depends on Yan Xueyi's strength, don't you have fragile strength, you were wiped out by the Manchus at once, of course, Yan Xueyi is not lacking in strength, 20,000 troops, enough to clear the SC's resistance forces, and can also resist the encirclement and suppression of the Manchu Qing, at this time, if you don't defect to Yan Xueyi, when will you wait.
After the Yanjiabao meeting, Yan Xueyi immediately went to Yuanhe City to summon the main officials of Yuanhe City and issued an order:
1. Announce the slogan of "rebellion": expel the Tartars, restore the rivers and mountains of our Han family, and prepare for a "rebellion".
2. In view of the four provinces that are about to be occupied, a large number of young officials and police officers who have been trained will be divided into working groups, and after the four provinces are occupied, each working group will be responsible for managing a county town and must maintain public order. (Before occupying Siqi Province, I began to arrange in advance, and said with confidence)
3. The main factories such as the Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant, the Arsenal (which had previously stockpiled a lot of munitions, which were sufficient for use), and the Machine Tool Factory were fully operational, and the workers worked in three shifts to produce when necessary.

9. Cut off ugly braids
……
Yan Xueyi announced one order after another, and the eyes of the officials of Yuanhe City lit up, now they are only managing a Yuanhe City with a population of only over 500,000, and when Siqi Province is occupied, don't they just want to manage the entire Siqi Province? This is a large province with a population of more than 40 million.
The officials of Yuanhe City did not have much disagreement on the need to "rebel", they wanted to "rebel" as soon as possible, and on the day Yuanhe City appeared, they knew that the Lord (Yan Xueyi) was going to rebel, but they knew the real strength of Yuanhe City, and they believed that the "rebellion" would definitely succeed.
Through the national education of Yuanhe City, the residents knew that it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty that made their lives difficult, and they could not eat well and wear no warmth, but it was Yan Xueyi who appeared, so that they could eat well, dress well, live well, and have excess silver in their hands to buy luxury goods in their former eyes.
In the hearts of the residents of Yuanhe City, as long as they are good to them, they will follow whomever they want, even if it is a rebellion, it doesn't matter, not to mention that now someone wants to rob them of their wealth and make them homeless.
Yan Xueyi believed that if the garrison failed to capture Siqi Province, or even if Yuanhe City was finally surrounded, the residents of Yuanhe City would take weapons to fight the enemy and defend their homeland.
Soon, the officials of Yuanhe City carried out Yan Xueyi's order without encountering any obstacles, and no one objected, and even the residents of Yuanhe City did not refute when they saw the announcement of the Yuanhe City Government to rebel, but supported it loudly, and then cut off the ugly braids on the back of their heads one by one.
"Expelle the Tartars and restore my Han family's rivers and mountains!"
"Eliminate the Manchu Tartars, this country was originally the country of our Han people, why was it occupied by the Manchu Tartars."
"Mother, I want to join the army, I want to fight the Manchu Qing Tartars."
"To destroy the Tartars, I want to donate."
"I'll donate too."
……
The residents of Yuanhe City not only agreed with the "rebellion" but also enthusiastically donated money to support it, and they who were literate and understood the truth would no longer blindly obey and listen to others, but had their own subjective judgments.
On the other side, Yan Xueyi gathered the officers above the regimental level of the garrison and announced the following order:
1. The garrison was renamed "Han Army", which means the army of the Han people.
The 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Brigades finished their training, and while the news of the seizure of the Yan clan had not yet spread to Siqi Province, they took regiments, battalions, and companies as units, relying on Yan's firms and other methods to infiltrate the provincial capital of Siqi Province (the specific number of officers and soldiers in Chengdu has not been found, and it is estimated that a maximum of 3,500 officers and soldiers will be stationed, which is much weaker than the Hunan army) and various prefectures and counties, and within the scheduled time, they will capture each city together.
3. The garrison regiment is responsible for defending Yuanhe City, and at the same time assisting the Yuanhe City police in maintaining public order in Yuanhe City, so as to prevent unexpected accidents during special periods.
Fourth, the establishment of secret arsenals in various important areas in advance to prevent logistical problems.
……
After Yan Xueyi's order was issued, the garrison, which had been renamed the Han Army, became busy, and each brigade and regiment issued tasks to the lower levels to determine which city each battalion and company unit was responsible for capturing and which Qing army to destroy.
The Yan clan has been operating in Siqi Province for many years, and has long found out the situation in various parts of Siqi Province, which city has how many officers and soldiers, and which Qing army is stationed where, all of which have detailed records with few errors.
Once the action begins, the Qing army and the Han army will be in a state of open and dark enemies, and they will definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard.
On May 23, 1883, the Han army began to move, and the Han soldiers in civilian clothes hid in the convoy of the Yan family firm or other means, and mixed into every city in Siqi Province, at this time, the three groups of the Manchu Qing herald Ding Baozhen, the governor of Siqi, had just been ambushed by the Ministry of Intelligence, and Siqi Province had not yet received any news that the Manchus were going to raid the Yan clan, but the Yan clan had already begun to act, with the goal of occupying the entire Siqi province.
More than 20,000 Han troops infiltrated the predetermined city through various methods and lurked, but Siqi Province is so large, and each city is far from Yuanhe City, and it will take a certain amount of time.
The Yan clan and the upper echelons of Yuanhe City were all staring at the time when they were fine, and that day was almost coming.
