Annoying, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, but sometimes once this legend comes true, it will kill people. Hu Linyi was too intoxicated with the superficial illusion brought about by his so-called strengthening of group training and the implementation of armor protection in the past few years, and even ignored the terrible consequences of the so-called people's conspiracy to make taxes, which is far from a question of what you promise or not.
As early as the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the armed struggle of the Miao people in Guizhou and other provinces against national oppression has not been interrupted, and the Miao people have revolted repeatedly. Guizhou is an area inhabited by Miao people, especially the "Shengmiao" territory centered on the ancient prefecture of eastern Qiandong, and neither Tusi nor Liuguan has established effective rule. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, the Miao people in Qingjiang, Taigong, Danjiang, Guzhou and other places revolted all at once, and quickly spread to Zhenyuan, Liping, Sizhou, Shiqian, Duyun, Pingyue Seven Prefectures, and the provincial capital Guiyang was also in an emergency. At that time, the Qing government ordered Shangshu Zhang Zhao to be the minister of Fusui and Miaojiang, and mobilized the troops of Yunnan, Liangguang, and Huguang provinces to join the Guizhou to suppress it, but it was protracted and fruitless. After Qianlong ascended the throne, Zhang Zhao was recruited back and reappointed Zhang Guangsi as the minister of Miaojiang Economic Strategy. Zhang Guangsi divided his troops into three routes and carried out a bloody cleansing of Miao Village. In the 60th year of Qianlong, Shi Liudeng of Songtao Hall in Guizhou Province and Shi Sanbao of Miao Min of Yongsui Hall in Hunan Province revolted at the same time, putting forward the slogan of "burning and killing the guests and regaining the land", and the Miao people from near and far responded in groups. The Qing government ordered Fu Kangan, a scholar and governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to lead the armies of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan and other provinces to encircle and suppress the rebel army. It was not until the first year of Jiaqing in 1796 that the leaders of the rebel army, Wu August and Shi Sanbao, were arrested and killed, Shi Liudeng was killed, and the large-scale Miao uprising was suppressed.
Nearly 50 years later, as the Manchu rulers exploited and oppressed the Miao people more brutally, the pent-up anger in the hearts of the Miao people has not subsided, and they continue to look for opportunities, of course, this anger is now not limited to the Miao people.
The banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom covered Hunan, and the army swept through Guangdong and Guangxi, igniting the fire of revenge of all ethnic groups in Guizhou.
Shi Xiangzhen, who was the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army of the former southward army, left Wuzhou, Guangxi, where he was stationed, and returned to Hunan as soon as the Guangdong campaign ended. As early as when the southern Hunan troops were preparing to enter Guangdong, Yang Fuqing had already entered Jingzhou in western Hunan in accordance with his orders.
Hu Linyi knew Yang Fuqing on the other side, Yang Fuqing naturally knew him better, Yang Fuqing did not care about Hu Linyi on the surface, there were small fights, after all, you don't mess with me, and I won't offend you. When Hu Linyi plunged into the mountains, endlessly repairing walls and villages, preparing for war, and making trouble, Yang Fuqing made great use of the idle time to organize some soldiers to assist the people to go up the mountains to open up the wasteland.
No matter how Hu Linyi looked, he couldn't see that the other party had any intention of making a big move with him.
Yang Fuqing also didn't want to do it with him personally for the time being, but the knife that Yang Fuqing prepared for him behind his back was probably more ferocious than the frontal battlefield in the future.
When spring arrived, Yang Fuqing sowed seeds on the land and began to wait for the autumn harvest. Hu Linyi's walled wall was almost finished, but there was not much movement on the opposite side, and a fire broke out in the backyard.
Since the early years of Xianfeng, Miaojiang has been hit by floods, droughts, and insect plagues, and the people are struggling to make a living, but the government has "raised armor and pursued it, and the prison is full". Forced to make a living, in Duyun in the east of Guiyang, the two brothers of the Miao Pan Mingjie gathered a crowd to revolt in Mahaba Mang, called the Yellow Trumpet Army. Immediately afterwards, Luo Guangming, the leader of the Zhai Sect, also launched an uprising in Duyun. Zhaijiao is a secret religious organization evolved from "Mingjiao", which integrates the elements of the White Lotus Sect, worships Maitreya Buddha, and takes "universal existence in heaven" as its purpose. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been widely spread in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and is especially active in Hunan and Guizhou. The Zhaijiao rebel army soon became an integral part of the Yellow Trumpet Army's Pan Mingjie Division. After the uprising broke out, the rebels quickly began to attack Longli and Guiding many times, and threatened Guiyang.
Hu Linyi was anxious. He didn't brag about his exploits in treating Miao in the newspapers to Shangguan and the imperial court, and at this time the Miao people rioted, and he didn't correct it. In the face of tens of thousands of mob rebellions, Guiyang was in a tight situation, and Guizhou Governor Lao Chongguang urgently dispatched troops to suppress it, and on the other hand, issued a reprimand for Hu Linyi. This real long hair has not yet entered Guizhou, first messed up the set, as soon as the long hair arrives, then pay it back?
Hu Linyi did not dare to mobilize the defense forces from all over the place to join the ranks of extinguishing this riot, he knew very well that the rebellion behind him was just a disease of ringworm, and Long Hair was the real enemy. He sacrificed the magic weapon of provoking national contradictions, "The Miao rebellion is to kill all our Han people, and they must not be allowed to be wishful." We are a minority here, fathers and fellow villagers, we must pick up swords and spears to fight them, sooner or later, the land and property will be yours, and these lowly mountain people should be your minions. ”
He also had something to say to the local Tusi heads, rich families, and landlords, "The riots of the mountain people are nothing more than the increase in taxes, and if they do not pay taxes, then the court can only rely on you to maintain it." The common people often say that the wool is from the sheep, and if they are cheaper, you are the one who suffers. To be honest, if you want to quell the riot, it's very simple, as long as the official takes out the land reclaimed by the government and some of your family property, the mob will naturally be stable. ”
As the saying goes, people have their own aspirations, and for their different purposes, the original grievances will be temporarily put aside, and they will be united for a temporary common goal. Hu Linyi relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and quickly put together an armed force and killed Duyun. Victory or defeat aside, the ability and efficiency of this work alone are enough to make Hu Linyi secretly happy for a few days.
Still, he was a little too early to be happy. Things are far from over, and even bigger riots are yet to come.
Guozong Shi Mingkai, Hou Yutian and others, under the leadership of Xu Tingjie, a member of the White Lotus Sect who defected to the Heavenly Army, went deep into Tongren, Sinan and other places bordering Xiangxi at the end of last year, where the Lantern Flower Sect, a branch of the White Lotus Sect, has been active.
After many mobilizations and persuasions, the leaders of the Lantern Flower Sect, He Desheng, Liu Yishun, and others, who were scattered everywhere and were already eager to plan an armed uprising, were willing to accept the proposition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and began to secretly prepare for armed insurrection in Tongren, Sinan, Shiqian, Meitan, Weng'an, Kaiyang, and other places.
At the same time, Hou Yutian went to the arch again, and almost according to the map, he found the person who was called Zhang Xiumei by King An, and was pinning his hopes on pleading with the government to reduce and reduce the unbearable taxes.
Zhang Xiumei, a native of Guizhou Taigong Hall (now Taijiang County), Miao name Zhang Xiubo. Zhang Xiumei was born in a poor Miao peasant family, and when he was eleven or twelve years old, his parents died of serious illness, and he could only rely on his brother for his life. In order to survive, he relied on helping the landlord to survive. The hardships since childhood have made him develop a character of being righteous and liking to fight grievances, and he is also deeply trusted by the people around him, and is the backbone of the poor Miao people in a radius of 100 miles.
Qiandong was poor, and the Taigong area in 1854 was even poorer. Due to the natural disasters in Yanzhòng, the entire Taigong region has lost its grain harvest, and poverty and hunger threaten the lives of every ordinary person. Despite this, the government's taxes are still unabated, and in order to defend against the so-called long hair, there is no shortage of Paiding touts. Like the mountains that can be seen everywhere in Qiandong, the indomitable Miao people find their leader and brew a great wishing activity.
Zhang Xiumei and several of his brothers, Bao Dadu, Zhang Kaige, Li Hongji and others, have long heard of the reality of the Hunan Celestial Empire from the descriptions of past merchants, and the people there live and work in peace and contentment, which can be called a paradise on earth. From the further introduction of Shi Mingkai and Hou Yutian, who were newly acquainted, they had more understanding of the Celestial Empire's great harmony in which everyone had farming, food and clothing, and all brothers and sisters in the world were one family.
Raising taxes, hoping that the government can grant exemptions to various heavy taxes? That's just a luxury. The tax trouble at the end of last year in Liping Mansion was a model, the government promised to reduce or reduce taxes, and even the Daotai Lord personally came forward to guarantee it, what was the result? Only two months later, the government showed its hideous face again, and several people who took the lead in tax troubles were either arrested and killed, or fled from other countries.
If you want to have a happy and peaceful life, the only way out is to pick up swords and guns like our ancestors, bring down this murderous government and court, and confiscate the property of a Qiē Miao Han landlord.
When Shi Mingkai, Hou Yutian and others were busy planning the reunification of Tongren and Taigong, Hu Linyi was not idle. His secret battalion sent more and more bad news back, and just when he felt that danger was lurking and he was at a loss, a good news came, and a long-haired spy had been captured in Taijiang, and he was a very important person.
