788 Fist Rebellion (14)
The tens of thousands of troops of the Tang Army carried out a thorough extermination of the remnants of the Boxer Boxers in Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although the Boxer Rebellion had a certain degree of organization, it was still different from a really tight military organization. It is easy to say that the command and action of a single boxing group is still easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to lead so many formations and arrange different tasks, and even set up middle-level commanders in dozens of boxing groups under the jurisdiction of the general altar.
In a boxing group, the senior brother is in charge of hundreds of brothers, but some boxing groups do not have a division of grassroots Shiwu, so it is difficult to lead a 100-person boxing group in all aspects. The senior brother assigned by the general altar to command several boxing groups may be a trusted senior brother of a boxing group, and other boxing groups may not be convinced, and they will not listen to orders or even infighting.
Such an organizational structure will not be effective when attacking, and it is even more likely to collapse when encountering great difficulties. At this time, within the Beijing Division, the various boxing groups had long been broken up by the Tang Army, and the boxers only cared about fleeing for their lives, and they could not gather effective forces to counterattack or retreat.
What's even worse is that the Boxers did nothing after entering Beijing, and they harmed the people of Beijing. A small number of people who stayed in Beijing were not happy with the Boxers, and even gritted their teeth, at this time, no one would kill these mobs, and even some people in Beijing even drove out those boxers who tried to hide in their homes, and some directly captured people and waited for the Tang army to take them.
By the next day, the chaos in the capital had largely subsided, and the streets had calmed down. The soldiers of the Tang Army began to patrol the streets, and some bold people dared to go out into the streets to do some small business.
As the capital of a great empire, Jingshi at this time actually lost all political power. There may be some of the smaller officials still there, but the ones in charge are all gone.
After 20 years, the Tang army entered the Forbidden City again, Chang Bin had people lay load-bearing planks on the steps, and then let the car drive into the Forbidden City. Chang Bin looked at the majestic and magnificent palace group and said with a smile: "Okay, let's stay here this time, this place will not be called the palace in the future, so it will be renamed the Forbidden City, make a tourist attraction, and open a museum by the way." ”
The staff officer's sycophant was photographed again, saying that Commander Chang was really far-sighted, and Chang Bin was smiling, this was all a move from the previous plane. Of course, he meant that somebody would actually take care of these things later. The military's task now is to quickly calm the situation and take over power throughout the country.
Tang Jun then launched a thorough cleanup of boxers in North China, and every village and store rewarded them for reporting boxers. In addition, the simple villagers are not used to these boxers, because the logic of the Boxer Rebellion in this plane is problematic in the eyes of many ordinary villagers. On the other hand, the source of the direct conflict in the birth of the Boxers was the conflict between the local forces and the people. The parishioners not only violated tradition, but more importantly, they relied on foreigners to oppress the local people, especially occupied a large amount of fertile land, and the two sides were constantly in conflict.
In this plane, although the Tang people are foreigners, they come in from the outside. But regardless of the hairstyle and clothing, the Tang people are no different from the Qing people, and most of the Tang people went abroad a few years ago. The Tang people did not rob the land of the villagers, did not collect their taxes, and even had many benefits of trade and road construction. It is true that the grain import of the Tang Dynasty has squeezed the income of local villagers, but the logic of many simple people will not be transferred to this. After all, grain prices are high and low, good years are low, disasters rise every year, and grain transfers are also frequent in various places, so it can't be relied on by the Tang people. And in recent years, in addition to digging in the field, working with the Tang people has also become an important livelihood. Statistics show that the Qing Dynasty has actually made some progress in industrialization in the past 20 years, and the Qing Dynasty actually has more than 2.0 percent of the industrial population engaged in industrial production. Together with the people who are engaged in commerce, the old agrarian country is actually undergoing a transformation.
Most of the guys in the Boxer Rebellion were lazy villagers who didn't usually do their jobs. There are always some people who don't farm well and don't want to do other work, and when something goes wrong, they first blame other people, and if they can't complain about others, they blame God. Many people who are down-to-earth and willing to work are the people in the Boxer Rebellion who look down on them. This is also the biggest difference between the image of the Boxers in the main plane and the Boxers in the other plane against foreign invasion.
In addition, the Tang people did not violently massacre the Boxers, so the Tang Dynasty decided to send all these Boxer members to some overseas territories with relatively difficult conditions, such as the Tianfang Overseas Territories, and after organizing them into a collectivized construction corps, they went to the Middle East or India to reclaim the wasteland. The people didn't see the blood, so they naturally thought it was no big deal and would not be touched, plus there was a reward for reporting, so for a while, the Boxers changed from "national heroes" to street rats that everyone shouted and beaten.
Datang also issued a telegram to the whole country in Beijing, Datang stated that this time is in an extraordinary period, in order to crack down on violent groups that undermine social stability and unity, the country has entered a period of temporary special control, and the Tang military will temporarily take over the local power, and local governments must cooperate with the Tang army and Datang official business.
On the surface, the Tang people wanted to clean up the Boxers, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty was seizing the power of local regimes. Not only in North China, where the Boxers were in trouble, the Tang people were in action, but even in Jiangnan and South China, the Tang Army and the Wuwei Army were also in action. The army surrounded the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty to the yamen of the local government's mansion, slapped a red-headed document on the table, and then the power was taken over. Most of the magistrates were acquaintances, because they did not have the strength to resist the Tang army, and those who refused to carry out this order were basically put under house arrest, in short, this was an order that must be carried out.
For Chang Bin, the task that the president has pressed down on is to find Jiaqing's whereabouts. Now Jiaqing has not reacted yet, and was stunned by Datang's three-plate axe, but Jiaqing is still the nominal emperor after all, and all places are still under his orders, if he calls on the whole country to oppose Datang, it will obviously create more trouble for Datang. So Chang Bin's first priority now is to solve Jiaqing.
Therefore, as soon as the Tang army occupied the Beijing Division, Chang Bin sent a mobile force to follow in the footsteps of Jiaqing and chase all the way to the west. According to intelligence, the direction of Jiaqing's escape was to Shanxi. Datang did not have a garrison in Shanxi, so he had to chase all the way from Zhili. Fortunately, Datang has an intelligence network on the ground, and there are reconnaissance planes in the sky. After all, Jiaqing was traveling with tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards, so it was difficult to hide his whereabouts. (To be continued.) )
