On the top of the city of Lijiabao, a gust of wind blew over Cao Kezhong's face, and his fluttering beard fluttered. (.Pure text) Good brothers Cao Kezhong, Tao Maolin, and Zhang Hua were all members of the Ge Laohui, and they held the motto of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
Purpose, join the ranks of the Hui people's uprising, no.
They called more Han people to join the fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but they encountered obstacles everywhere. Han Chinese villages did not welcome them. From more than 400 people during the uprising to more than 2,000 people today, it seems that the number of people has increased a lot, but most of them are refugees.
Weapons and ammunition were insufficient, and most people were using swords and spears.
The Ge Laohui mainly took the form of "opening the mountains" and "visiting and forming alliances". The gentry from the countryside and the wealthy businessmen from the streets joined in one after another, controlling the place and not allowing others to interfere with it.
The Ge Laohui evolved from the Tiandi Hui, the Renyi Hui and the Jianghu Hui. As a secret folk association, the Gelaohui has a long history of struggle. Before the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, it was known among the people as the Jianghu Hui.
Active. During the Jiaqing period, it was also called the Renyihui, and the Renyihui was also a branch of the Tiandihui. Therefore, "it evolved from the Tiandihui, the Renyihui, and the Jianghuhui into the Chengge Laohui. This is its origin."
Later, the Ge Lao Hui went through two important stages: the fusion of Tulu and the White Lotus sect during the White Lotus Rebellion in Sichuan, Chu and Shaanxi, and the mutual integration of the two major association systems of the Tiandihui and the White Lotus sect during the Taiping Rebellion. In these two stages, due to the social experience
The form of the society changed, the society was extremely turbulent, and secret societies developed rapidly. Under the conditions of extensive integration between the society party and the religious sects, the embryonic form of the Zoru organization absorbed several characteristics of the Tiandihui, the White Lotus Sect and other organizations, and gradually formed.
Li Rong, the salt transport envoy from Jiangning, said: "I secretly believe that there is still a Tuolu Hui in Shu. Since the rise of the army, many of its members have deserted and returned to the army. In more than ten years, they have been instigated and spread poison throughout Xiangchu, so they changed their name to Jianghu Hui. Every time
At the beginning of the meeting, incense is burned, and the names of famous halls are set up, such as Fugui Hall on Lotus Mountain, Shunde Hall on Momei Mountain, etc. Each hall has an old hat sitting in the hall and an old hat in the hall. Each hall has eight
One, two, three, five are the upper four cards, six, eight, ninety are the lower four cards, four and seven are taboos, and this card is not to be set up. The person who presides over the discussion is called the Second Master of the Sage, and the one who takes charge of the money.
The title is the third master of the family. There are five masters of the red flag who are responsible for sending messages and dispatching people; the fifth master of the black flag is responsible for killing with swords and sticks. Those who gather the party to commit robberies are called Fangpiao, and they are also called the team."
What Li Rong described is exactly the situation of the Ge Lao Hui. Zuo Zongtang also said: "Those who build the Ge Lao Hui are also known by the nickname of "Ge Lao Hui" in Sichuan and Guizhou." He also said: "Since then, the Ge Lao Hui has become a bandit of the Ge Lao Hui, and the military camp has been infected.
Almost everywhere.”
This is also the source of the Qing army's constant bombing of camps. There is a reason why soldiers continue to join the Ge Lao Hui. Because members of the Ge Lao Hui are not afraid of death in the army and are willing to risk their lives to rescue their comrades, unlike the soldiers of the Green Camp.
, as soon as the war goes unfavorably, they will run away on their own. Because on the battlefield, soldiers need the help of their comrades.
With the help of comrades in the Ge Lao Hui, more and more people joined the Ge Lao Hui organization, creating a situation where the Qing army was repeatedly banned. The Qing army, which was deeply poisoned by the Ge Lao Hui, would fire all soldiers who joined the Ge Lao Hui, and even
Massacre was used to solve this cancer, but it still failed to prevent the spread of Ge Lao Hui in the army.
In the Qing army fighting in the northwest, members of the Ge Laohui led the army to "blow up camps" more than once. Both Liu Mingchuan and Lei Zhengwan were severely punished for "bombing camps" by their troops.
Cao Kezhong led a battalion of troops to rebel, but the northwest had long been devastated by the returning troops. From the beginning to the end, he could not form a decent team. After fighting in the northwest, he could only rely on the wings of the returning troops.
under.when
The slogans put forward by the initial uprising became outdated. The Hui people never thought about letting the Han oppress them again. In Dong Zhiyuan, the status of the Hui people was higher than that of the Han people. Cao Kezhong's Han army was sent to Lijia, the forefront of the Eastern Front.
fort.
Seeing a large number of Qing troops arriving at the west city gate, blocking the retreat route of the returning troops, the returning troops in Lijiabao knew that the returning troops in Xiao Kongtong had been wiped out. Dong Zhiyuan was once the strategic depth of the returning troops. Here is
Returning to the army's home base, I didn't expect that the Qing army would now be trapped in a castle and unable to move.
It was originally thought that the war would not start until at least the beginning of spring, but now that the Qing army had launched an offensive early, it no longer gave the returning troops of Lijiabao any room to maneuver.
The returning troops in the city watched helplessly as the small fortress villages outside the city were easily captured by the Qing army. With a few rumbles, a fortress on a high loess slope collapsed. After the smoke passed, you could see another mountain with a
Snow Mountain Lion Flag. Thousands of meters away, the Qing army was massacring unarmed Hui people. Those Hui people who were captured were shot to death at the foot of Lijiabao Castle.
No one shouted to the people on the top of Lijiapu City. A dozen or more people were shot dead in groups. This was to show the returning troops in Lijiapu what would happen to those who resisted to the end.
end.
The people on the top of the city were filled with tears and wept bitterly. They gnashed their teeth and cursed the cruelty of the Qing army. Blood debts must be paid for with blood. There are so many blood debts, so the Hui people rebelled. Rebellion is justified, long live the Hui people uprising!
Returning to the army, they had long forgotten what they saw when they went out to collect grain. They treated the Han villages in the same way. The war destroyed humanity and it was impossible to tell who was nobler than the other.
Cao Kezhong's troops originally still had support. There were as many as forty-four French cannons, howitzers, and mortars seized from various places. They were preparing to compete with the Qing army during the offensive and defensive wars, and the city wall of Lijiabao was torn apart.
The corpses of the Qing army were piled up below. But now they were in a state of confusion, wondering about the strength of the Qing army, because the Qing army had built a fort a thousand meters away.
Although the Qing army's Hongyi cannon has not yet been seen, the cannon weighing several kilograms can be dragged to the forward position in the ice and snow. This made the defenders of Lijiabao panic. The Qing army dragged the Hongyi cannon used to defend the city to the high loess slopes.
, how did this happen? Return to the army
The morale of the army was in chaos. Although they were determined to die, both the Hui people and the Han people knew that their doom was coming. An atmosphere of despair spread over Lijiabao, and thousands of lifeless faces turned pale.
There is no difference between him and the dead.
In appearance, there is not much difference between the returned soldiers. Except for those who don’t have beards, they all have big beards and look slovenly. Tao Maolin took the telescope and observed the fort in the distance, cursing: "Mother Xipi! Yang Da
The child deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. He suffered from sores all over his body and his family members died."
For those who have a red heart and believe that the interests of gangs are above all else, it is impossible to imagine that Yang Dawazi would do something to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors. If good Han people don't do it, why should they be the lackeys of the Manchus? He will die.
They want to die with dignity, they are fighting for the independence of the Han people, even though they have been reduced to being cannon fodder for the Hui people.
Cao Kezhong sighed: "General Tao, if you can't scold the Manchu lackeys to death, you should save your energy. Since Yang Dawazi has chosen to leave our team, he is our most deadly enemy. He should be under the city. He is so shameless, but
I know it's shameful, but I haven't seen his flag yet."
Zhang Hua sneered and said: "Brother, you think so highly of Yang Dawazi. He only has a few hundred people. Mangou will give him a flag? When the city is attacked, he will be cannon fodder. The first person to climb the city must be
Yang Dawazi’s men and horses.”
"Yes, you deserve to die!" Cao Kezhong clenched his fists as if gloating over his misfortune and loudly encouraged his morale.
Cao Kezhong lamented in his heart that his soldiers and horses were also used as cannon fodder by the fourth commander Cui Wei. The Hui people were fighting for independence, and there were so many people supporting them and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for a noble cause. And what about them? Even the Han people
They did not believe in the claims of the Ge Lao Hui and regarded the Ge Lao Hui's uprising as an underworld rebellion. After countless bloody battles, no city had ever opened its gates to welcome the arrival of the Ge Lao Hui rebels.
Who can be blamed? Zheng Chenggong, the founder of Ge Laohui, had a record of massacring 300,000 civilians at one time, which was even worse than the Manchu massacre. The so-called national heroes did not regard the Han people as human beings. In the Qing Dynasty,
Under the wanton slander, Ge Laohui had a poor image in the minds of the Qing people.
The national hero Zheng Chenggong was demoted to nothing by the Qing Dynasty. The two banners held high by the Ge Lao Hui, "anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty!" and "support the Han Dynasty!" did not receive support from the people of all parties. The Han army led by the Ge Lao Hui in the northwest did not develop.
As it grew stronger, it was reduced to an armed force of the returning army.
"Mangou doesn't have many artillery pieces, just a few. Don't be afraid! As long as we withstand the first wave of offensive, it's time for our Franchise to show off its skills." Tao Maolin held up his telescope and kept looking for the artillery on the fort outside the city.
I couldn't find any trace of him, so I comforted myself by telling my companions.
During the offensive and defensive battle at Lijiabao, the Hui army had the right time, place and people. With the support of forty-four large and small artillery pieces, the Hui army felt confident and thought that they could at least start an offensive and defensive battle with the Chu army at the top of the city.
But the returning army's fear of the god Zuo Zongtang had already settled in their hearts. No one dared to pull out an army to fight Zuo Zongtang's Chu army in the wild. The weapons were at a huge disadvantage, and they had experienced the Chu army.
The army is fierce and fearless in charging and killing,
The Hui army has lost the ability to maneuver and fight. Without geographical advantage, the Hui army did not dare to fight the Chu army for even one round. The Hui army could only rely on the geographical advantage to hold on to the battle, hoping to drag down the Qing army in the vast loess of Dong Zhiyuan.
On a high slope.
"Xiao Kongtong is a fortress made of loess. It is normal for the enemy to break it. Ours is a fortress made of huge rocks. It is completely different. Mr. Xu waits to collect the corpses in Lijiabao. If tens of thousands of people are not killed,
The dogs are so full that they can’t even see the scenery on the wall. Hahahahaha!” Cao Kezhong was chatting and laughing, loudly boosting morale, giving the illusion to the surrounding soldiers that the Qing army was nothing more than this, and it was still unclear who would win.
"Defend Dong Zhiyuan to the death, defend the Hui people's right to exist to the death!" The Hui troops on the city wall raised their arms and shouted slogans, both Hui and Han people were shouting.
Nowadays, the Hui people have become weak, and the requirements of the weak are not high, not at all. They just want to survive and live with dignity like human beings. But the Manchus did not even give this basic requirement to the Hui people, so they took up swords and guns.
Targeting their former masters, the Hui people no longer talk about establishing independence
They only fought for the right to survive and only needed a little local autonomy. The Hui people fantasized about establishing a highly autonomous chieftain regime like the Nanmanzi. This also supported their determination to fight and create a world in which
Great Northwest has gained a firm foothold.
Cao Kezhong's mouth was filled with bitterness. The Ge Laohui who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty were reduced to vassals of the Hui army here, and they were fighting for the independence of the Hui people. This was completely different from what he had in mind during the original uprising. At the beginning, the Ge Laohui agreed to take charge of each other and echo each other.
, but the army that successfully revolted did not have a few troops, and there were thousands of rebel officers and soldiers, although
It caused a certain amount of damage to the Qing Dynasty, but it did not form an overwhelming shock wave. Some Ge Laohui organizations were suppressed by the Qing army before they could take action. He could not even mention the purpose of the uprising, and he did not even know the slogans he shouted.
If you agree, is it possible to join Islam? I will strive for greater benefits for the Hui people in the future.
Although Cao Kezhong was a staunch member of the Ge Laohui, he also thought about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, but his fate was different. Yang Dawazi had the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and returned to the Qing Dynasty. Now even if he pleads guilty, he will not escape death. He and
The brothers under my command have no way to retreat, even if they know that they are sent by the fourth commander Cui Wei
You can't escape even if you serve as cannon fodder in Lijiabao. Your destiny will come to an end here. The Qing Dynasty has too many soldiers who can fight. It is impossible to defend Lijiabao with more than 2,000 Han people and more than 2,000 Hui people.
, Cao Kezhong even lost the courage to speak big words, and the only way left for him was a dead end.
At least he had lived a romantic and happy life, and had no regrets in this life. Cao Kezhong cheered up, with a sly expression on his face, lifted the waistband of his trousers, and shouted: "Brothers, full dogs will not attack at night.
, let’s go have some fun first and fuck that little bitch.”
"Hey hey hey hey!" A large group of people swarmed down the city. They embarked on this road of no return. They no longer thought about what would happen tomorrow? Death was relief for them, and those young ladies would also go to hell with them.
, the relationship of flesh and blood, how can a Manchu dog get rid of it.
War is so cruel and ruthless, one's own people will kill one's own people, and weak women will be the first to suffer. Cao Kezhong will kill all the women in Lijiabao. But now he has not issued an order. In his opinion, guarding a huge stone fortress
The fort had guns, artillery and fighting troops, and could last at least three or four days. Cao Kezhong had never seen the power of hundreds of artillery salvos, and he didn't know that tomorrow would be the end of Lijia Fort.
Now, Lijiabao has become chaotic, waiting for the returning troops who suffered a thunderous blow from the Qing army to stage their final madness, vent their last desires in life, and turn Lijiabao into the last paradise in life.
