Chapter 110: Destroying Jindan and Lianmeng Han

The Jindandao Incident, a genocide that was not mentioned in later textbooks at all, indirectly led to the independence of Outer Mongolia, affecting Jilin, Liaoning, and Hebei. The time began on November 11, 1891, and ended on December 29, 1891, when Nie Shicheng caught Yang Ruichun, who was pretending to be a woman and wanted to escape. In just over 40 days, Ye Zhichao reported the results of the Qing court after the war, killing a total of 20,000 Jindan Taoists, most of whom deserved it. As for the casualties among local Mongol and Han civilians, there is no exact statistics at all. Only mentioned in the "Chaoyang County Chronicle" that more than 100,000 people died in Jianchang and Chaoyang counties. Li Yuting's "Bandit Personal Experience" said that there were about 40,000 dead in Chifeng County, so assuming that the dead in Pingquan Prefecture were comparable to Chifeng County, plus the number of deaths in Jindan Daoists, the number of deaths caused by this * should be about 200,000!

Because of Jindan Dao, the Mongols moved north. * The troops entered the Tumut Left Banner of the Zhuosuotu League, killing more than 10,000 Mongols in just over 10 days, attacking and destroying nearly 1,000 villages, and forcing more than 100,000 Mongols to leave their homes, be displaced, and move to other lands. At that time, there were only more than 20,000 Mongols in the Ao Han Banner, which was the most populous in Mongolia, and it was also because they were tortured and killed by Jindan Taoism at that time and fled to other places.

And many of these fleeing Mongols joined the Mongol banner troops.

Although the Han people did not dare to avenge their own deaths in a blatant manner, they often provoked lawsuits against the government, and the magistrates did not accept the previous lessons, and continued to arbitrarily judge the cases, arresting many Mongolians. The Mongols thought themselves to be bitter masters, and they became more and more resentful. As a result, rumors spread again, or that the Mongolian people wanted to kill the Han people for revenge, or that the Han people wanted to kill the Mongolian people, but the chaos stopped, and the two sides were unable to carry out large-scale battles, so they could only isolate each other and guard each other, until the Republic of China, the situation was still like this, and it never eased slightly.

Later events that broke out in the Mongolian region, such as the rebellion of King Utai, the rebellion of Babu Zab, and the independence of Outer Mongolia, were all attended by local people and those who had been displaced due to the turmoil, which shows the severity of the local people's distrust of the mainlanders and the mainland government. Tracing back to the source, they are all inseparable from the blood feud planted by the Jindandao rebellion.

Here's an example:

Haisen is a native of Ganggangyingzi Village, Karaqin Zhongqi, Zhuosuotu League, Inner Mongolia (now Ganggangyingzi Village, Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia). He was originally the "secretary" in charge of foreign affairs under Li Hongzhang's account, and he himself was fluent in five Chinese languages. Later, he became an important founder of Outer Mongolia's independence, the drafter of Mongolia's Declaration of Independence, and the first prime minister of Mongolia.

This young man, who once admired Han culture in his youth and even aspired to marry a Han woman (his wife was indeed Han), turned into a crazy Han-hater extremist. The reason for this change lies in the 1891 Jindan Road*. Haisen belongs to the Karaqin Mongols and is the place where Jindan Dao* suffered. At that time, the bandit army slaughtered a large number of Mongols, and more than 100,000 Karaqin Mongols were killed, and the remaining Karaqin people fled to the north. At that time, only 10 percent of the Mongols survived in the area occupied by Jindandao. All of them survived by hiding in the homes of Han Chinese friends or relatives, and many Han Chinese who hid the Mongols were killed.

Wang Yi didn't know much about this period of history, and when he went to school, he only felt sorry for the independence of Outer Mongolia and the loss of a large part of the country's territory. However, at that time, he was thinking about why the Mongols, who had been deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and lived for about 200 years under the protection of the Qing Dynasty, would choose to listen to the instigation of a Tsarist who was equivalent to an outsider. At that time, the Tsarist Russians were far from being powerful in the Far East, and in the absence of the Trans-Siberian Railway, they even had problems transporting troops and supplies. In fact, the territories he plundered from the Qing Dynasty were all mixed up when the Qing Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself. Then why did the Mongols choose to listen to the instigation of the Tsarist Russians, why did they blindly want independence, and why did they choose to leave as soon as the Republic of China of the Han government came to power?

This piece of the puzzle is missing from the history books of later generations, and that is the Jindandao incident.

Wang Yi didn't know now that the Jin Dan Dao discovered by Tu Xiaohua had caused such a big mess in the later generations. It's just that he instinctively feels that once the national question is provoked, it will be very difficult to resolve it.

At present, the main contradictions between the Mongolian people and the Han people are: the land issue, the reclamation of Mongolian land, the Han people were under the fence at first, and later they were mainly anti-guest, and the living space of the Mongolian people became increasingly narrow. Customs, such as the Mongolian people have a strong sense of environmental protection and prohibit arbitrary logging, but the Han people do not have that awareness and often go to the mountains to steal firewood and grass; The Mongols are informal, and the Han Chinese consider rude; The Han people are meticulous, and the Mongols think they are stingy. The different economic acumen made it so that the Mongols often suffered in the exchange of interests. As a result, some Han people later developed into deception, even if the lawsuit reached the government, the Han people could speak well, and the Mongols could not say that they were reasonable. The Mongolian upper princes and the Han people were at odds, and there were still some remnants of slavery in the Mongolian society at that time, and many master-servant relationships and master-servant were commensurate. The Mongol aristocracy was accustomed to acting as a prestige on weekdays, and they also used the same way they used to treat slaves to the Han people who moved from the interior, and the Han people were extremely dissatisfied.

"This thing wants to make alchemy, buddy will fulfill him." Wang Yi hated this kind of bastard who stirred up racial issues within the country.

Dashang did not have too many forces in the western Liaoning region, mainly because it was too close to Beijing, and Wang Yi was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, and the two sides had a tacit understanding with each other at this point.

"But now it seems that I can't take care of it that much." Wang Yi calculated. "It seems that the experience of Berdoune can be applied here, but who will come and garrison it?" Wang Yiyi couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Xiaohua, after all the backbone elements of Jin Dandao were investigated, they were all captured. Yang Ruichun didn't have to keep it, and the rest of the people were sent to Dagushan for mining, when they figured it out, and when they put it back. ”

"Got it, Captain."

After returning to the office, Wang Yi called Chaoyang Tong's house directly and said, "Hello, I am the chairman of Dashang, Wang Yi." ”

The one who answered the phone was the housekeeper of the Tong family, and when he heard that it was Wang Yi, he was startled, and immediately said, "Chairman, you wait a minute, I will go and inform the head of the family immediately." ”

The head of the Tong family is named Tong Bailing, although he uses a Chinese name, he is actually a Manchu, he is in his fifties this year, and he is very shrewd. Hearing that it was Wang Yilai's call, his brows furrowed, but his voice was smiling, and he said, "Chairman, hello, I'm Tong Bailing." ”

The Tong family is a member of the Tai'an Grain and Oil Price Alliance, and usually at the annual meeting of Dashang or the meeting of the Grain and Oil Alliance, Tong Bailing and Wang Yi have eaten and chatted together. Wang Yi had a good impression of him, a very shrewd person, and in many industries of big businessmen, there were also shares of the Tong family. And Tong Bailing's love for Wang Yiqing is more complicated, on the one hand, he is shocked by the strength and super earning ability of big businessmen. In the face of those big families who once needed their own families to look up to, even grovel, and rampant in the rising sun, now one by one, the rivers are declining, and they are wagging their tails and begging for mercy in front of themselves. Tong Bailing's heart was full of gratification. It is precisely because of their own decision-making and persistence that the Tong family took the big ship of big business. But on the other hand, he was equally worried! After all, he is a Manchurian, and his unique long-term vision has seen that the current situation of the Qing Dynasty is the same as that of those former famous families in the sunrise, which is about to die and rot to the roots. Although he wanted to save it, Tong Bailing couldn't do anything.

Today, Wang Yi suddenly called him, which somewhat surprised Tong Bailing. Because Wang Yi rarely called the Tong family, but when this call came, Tong Bailing had a faint premonition in his heart that something big was about to happen.

"Brother, how are you doing, your health is fine."

"Ah, Chairman of the Board, your Hongfu, your old body and bones are quite tough."

"I have opened a new hospital here to provide health care check-up services, and I have provided this set of benefits to all my friends in big business, a physical check-up once a year, free of charge. When is your brother, come and see. ”

"Thank you so much, little old man must go over and have a look when he has time."

The two gossiped for a while, and then Wang Yi got to the point.

"Big brother is like this, recently I got news that there is a Jindan Road in western Liaoning, and the leader is a person named Yang Ruichun. This man is full of gibberish and deceives ordinary people. Of course, if that's all there is, I don't bother to pay attention to him, but in order to develop his followers and expand his power, he openly provoked the relationship between the Mongols and the Han people. ”

"What does the chairman mean?"

"I'm not going to keep these people."

Tong Bailing knew that Wang Yi was ventilating with him, so as not to cause panic in the surrounding area and cause some trouble.

"Chairman, I understand, I will come forward to appease the people in Chaoyang at that time."

"Thank you, brother!" Wang Yi said with a smile. "But what I'm going to talk about today is actually this second thing."

"Chairman, please speak."

"The problem between Mongolia and Han can't always be dragged on like this. With the increase of the area of land reclamation in Mongolia, the contradictions between Mongolia and Han will only become more and more intensified. I don't want a large-scale Mongol-Han confrontation! ”

Tong Bailing also knew what Wang Yi meant, in fact, he himself had already been aware of this problem, but there was no good way to solve it.

"Don't say it, I also want to ask the chairman for advice, the Menghan problem has been around for a long time, do you have any good solutions?"

"What the elder brother said is that the problem is indeed very strict. Today I killed one Yang Ruichun, and tomorrow I may pop up the second and third! …… However, in the final analysis, the problem between Mongolia and Han is actually a land question, and in the final analysis, it will fall on the economy. The Han people need arable land to support themselves, and the Mongolian people need pastures to support themselves, and when the two coincide, the problem arises. ”

Tong Bailing listened and nodded.

"What the chairman said is, is there any way to solve it?"

"I will ask the Qing court to stop the reclamation of ......"

"This ...... Chairman, most of the Han people who come to us to farm come from other places, either because of famine or because of the annexation of land in their hometown, isn't this equivalent to directly cutting off their livelihoods? ”

Wang Yi did not answer Tong Bailing's words, but talked about irrelevant things.

"Does my brother know about the UK?"

"Yes!"

"Does that brother know what Britain developed on?"

"I guess it's the textile industry."

"Sort of, then the old brother should know that a large number of people are needed in the big textile factory, but where did these manpower come from?"

Speaking of this, Tong Bailing really didn't know. Although he has read some books published by Dashang Culture, he does not have much love for foreign history.

"Please also ask the chairman for advice!"

"Rodeo! To put it simply, Britain brought in a lot of income because of the export of wool and wool fabrics. The aristocracy at that time found that the income from wool from ten acres of pasture far exceeded the income from twenty acres of arable land, so they began to enclose public land and reduce the land of tenants in order to use more land for animal husbandry. At the same time, those who were homeless because of the seizure of their land ended up working in textile factories to earn a living. ”

"Could it be that the chairman means to transfer all these landless Hermes-Epitek to the factory?" Tong Bailing suddenly understood Wang Yi's thoughts, and it seemed really feasible when he thought about it.

"Almost! On the one hand, we set up a lot of textile factories, recruited landless Hermes-Epitek to work in them, paid them wages, gave them housing, and gave their children a modern education. On the other hand, the mill also needs raw materials, so that the Mongolian pastures can provide us with wool and we can provide them with technology. In this way, everyone's interests will be combined, and the contradictions will gradually be resolved over time. ”

Tong Bailing thought about it in his heart, felt that it was feasible, and said with a smile: "The chairman is really a god!" “

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, brother, this is all Li Bashan in Daqing...... Well, that's what Berduna summed up. ”

After talking to Tong Bailing on the phone, Wang Yi sent messages to Jianchang, Pingquan, Jinzhou, Chifeng, Yizhou, Kuanchengzi and other big families, inviting them to participate in the meeting.

Wang Yi then sent a telegram to Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Zhili, asking him to propose to the imperial court to stop the reclamation of Mongolian land, turn the surplus peasant households into urban population, and let them enter the factories to earn a living. And to talk about the matter of Jin Dan Dao, Zhang Shusheng felt reasonable, so he wrote to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, and finally Cixi heard that it was Wang Yi's idea, probably because of the two partnerships to do public welfare, and decided to try it out in the Zhelimu League, Zhuo Suo Tu League, Zhaowuda League and Xilin Gol League, and then promote it after the effect is good.
