Chapter 405: The Blood of Bazhou!

In 1794 AD, this year was exactly the penultimate year of Qianlong's rule, and in the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, but this year was as upset as the previous year. Last year's British rebellion shocked the world and greatly damaged the prestige of the court. There were countless people in various places who were ill-gotten. Later, the White Lotus Sect caused chaos in the Xiangyang area, and almost swept through most of the Qing countries with a dry fire. Except for Manchuria, Tibet, Xinqiang and Mongolia, the war almost burned to every province of the Qing country.

On the ninth day of the third month of the 59th year of Qianlong, the uprising led by Xu Tiande and Wang Dengting broke out in Dazhou, and the uprising led by Leng Tianlu and Wang Sanhuai broke out in Dongxiang (now Xuanhan). Then there was an uprising led by Taiping Sun Cefeng, Long Shaozhou and others.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, Feng Deshi, Lin Kaitai, and Weng Luyu were also in Ankang, Shaanxi, and Mixi led the White Lotus Rebellion.

On June 17th and 18th, the first rainstorm occurred in the Yanshan Mountains of the Haihe River Basin in the northern system. Starting from the 19th, the heavy rain moved south to the Hutuo River Basin and the Taihang Mountains south, and gradually penetrated westward to the leeward mountainous area of ​​the upper reaches of the Hutuo River. From the 22nd to the 24th, the rainstorm intensified and heavy rainstorms occurred. By the 25th and 26th, rainstorms gradually ended. At the same time, heavy rainstorms also occurred in Qin and Danhe areas in the Yellow River Basin.

In addition, from July 15 to 20, there was another intense rainfall process in the Haihe River Basin Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Luanhe River Basin, which aggravated the disaster in the Haihe River Basin Plain that year, and also caused floods and floods in counties downstream of the Luanhe River Basin.

The distribution range is from the middle and lower reaches of the Qing Dynasty, Yongding and Chaobai Rivers in the north to the Fuyang River, the middle and lower reaches of the Zhang River and the entire Wei River area, and the Qin and Danzhu Rivers in the Yellow River Basin are also within the range of the heavy rain. The center of the heavy rain is mainly located in the Hutuo River Basin and the Wei River Basin. Especially the Hutuo River Basin, heavy rainstorms have occurred from the above Zhengding and even the leeward areas of the Taihang Mountains, causing heavy floods to the main stream of the Hutuo River for thousands of years.

There were more than 4,700 villages in the county, with a number of people suffering from disasters reaching millions. Although the 17,000 Qing troops who had just been transferred from Manchuria and stationed in the Bazhou area did not suffer much loss, the flood had been transported a lot of materials.

The Qing army, which was deployed in the Zhili area, suffered more or less material losses, and the flood lasted for seven days before retreating. After that, because the food and grass in the rear were difficult to transport, the officials of Bazhou opened warehouses to release grain in order to ensure that the people in the territory did not lose control. However, although the Manchu Banners who had lost the food and grass did not lack their share, Bazhou did not have much food, and the people of the surrounding villages and towns gathered for Bazhou. In just a few days, nearly half of the grain had been consumed, and the officials of Bazhou had to reduce it. However, in this way, the four people even robbed the grain that was to be transported to the Eight Banners of Manchu.

Now, General Heng Xiu, the commander of the Eight Banners of Manchus, was annoyed and actually ordered the civilians who robbed food and grass to be arrested and executed as the White Lotus Sect bandits. He also began to rob soldiers everywhere.

Li Huaiwen, a wealthy man from Bazhou, had several relatives, and asked Jilin General Hengxiu's subordinates to confiscate the house. None of them were spared. Even his sister was raped and killed by the Eight Banners of Manchu. In anger, he dispersed all his wealth and gathered thousands of villages. He took advantage of the Eight Banners of Manchu to go out to the city to rob, and attacked the mansion that lived in the east of Bazhou County and became a temporary residence of the General of Jilin at night.

It was also Jilin General Heng Xiu who was careless. The army sent out to plunder money and sweep away the "White Lotus Bandits". As a result, only one battalion of personal soldiers was left, and several battalions of soldiers were left in Bazhou City. Therefore, he thought he was very safe. So, while he was playing hide-and-seek with his newly found beauty at night, Li Huaiwen, with passion and hatred, and the people of Zhuang Ding, who were full of hatred, came to play hide-and-seek with the Jilin general.

These Zhuang Ding people are just ordinary people, but as the saying goes, they are afraid of being stunned, they are afraid of being arrogant, and they are afraid of being desperate. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were arrogant enough, but the Zhuang Ding people who were angry with the Eight Banners soldiers no longer wanted their lives. Moreover, there are many people practicing martial arts in Hebei, and there are also many of them who play hide-and-seek games with Jilin generals.

So, a tragic life-and-death battle broke out at night in the east of Bazhou City. That night, a strife in Bazhou City broke out, and the fire that was lit at some time turned half of Bazhou into ruins. Li Huaiwen died under the sword of Jilin General Hengxiu. However, Jilin General Hengxiu was also chopped into meat paste.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria lost their chief officials and their brains were congested, and they even raised their butcher knives to the civilians in the city. However, the Eight Banners of Manchuria in their anger almost slaughtered half of the angry Eight Banners of Manchuria.

The four fields of Bazhou were almost naked, and several surrounding counties were also affected. Within two days, more than 70,000 people died under the swords of these Eight Banners of Manchu. The people of the surrounding prefectures and counties were already angry. Under the inspiration of the White Lotus Cult, Wu Ping, a native of Baigoudian, raised the anti-bank, gathered more than 10,000 victims, and conquered Xincheng County in one fell swoop with the White Lotus Cult in Xincheng County.

By the time the capital received the news, a raging fire had already ignited in southern Zhili. Not only was the capital shocked, but the Central Plains area was already in a panic. Officials from all over the country wrote letters to impeach the atrocities of the Eight Banners of Manchu.

Qianlong was furious, but the culprit, General Hengxiu of Jilin, was dead, which made the angry people of Nabazhou chopped into a pool of unrecognizable rotten meat paste. The 17,000-strong Eight Banners soldiers in Manzhou were all Eight Banners. Although there was no such erratic relationship as the erratic children of the Beijing Banners, there were also many royal families inside, such as yellow belts and red belts, which could not be slaughtered. Therefore, the army was demoted by all and drove them out of the pass.

For Qianlong, such a dissatisfaction was already the most appropriate disposal for him, but in fact, all the scholars in the world watched coldly, while scholars in coastal areas such as Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian even picked up the books on the atrocities of the Qing army that had been destroyed by the Qing court that had flowed back from overseas to discuss. For example, a dissatisfaction with the court and the ruling class has spread to the hearts of those scholars. Although they still dare not say anything, dissatisfaction already exists. The three massacres of Jiading and the ten-day Yangzhou were once again mentioned among the people, and the undercurrents have already surged among the people.

On August 15th, Luo Qiqing, Gou Wenming, Ran Wenqi, Xian Dachuan, Ran Tianyuan and others respectively launched an uprising in Bazhou, Tongjiang and other places. From the beginning, the White Lotus Sect used "white cloth wrapped its head and white flag as its horn" and posted the battle slogan "The big fight and small fight are unfair, and the fire virtue star is descended from heaven."

The White Lotus Sects of each branch also established their own regimes, established their own dynasties, and appointed officials at all levels. For example, the White Lotus Sect in Xiangyang, Hubei recorded the year with "Wanli" and the White Lotus Sect in Changyang recorded the year with "Tianyun". The Xiangyang army had civil positions such as prime minister, governor, prefect, and county magistrate, as well as military positions such as marshals, vanguards, and generals.

Fukang'an gathered troops from several provinces and first pointed the finger at Hubei, trying to concentrate his forces and wiped out the Bailian Sect in Xiangyang in one fell swoop.

Mingliang, E Hui, Qingcheng and others led the Qing army and the newly released cavalry formed by the "Mongolian horse-stealing prisoners" from Henan and Hubei provinces surrounded the White Lotus Cult in Xiangyang. However, they were soon surrounded by those White Lotus Cult members who were attacking Xiangyang and had not yet landed in Fancheng. Qi Lin led one of the White Lotus Cult members with more than 20,000 people down the Nanhe River, bypassed the Qing army's defense line, broke through the Qing army, and then attacked Fang County, and the Qing army lost more than 3,000 people.

After Fang County opened warehouses and released grain, Qi Lin's army made an attempt to go north to enter Guanzhong. Mingliang set up a defense line in the Wudang Mountain area. Unexpectedly, Qi Lin led 10,000 elite troops, hiking in the day and night, and actually took down Xing'an Prefecture, an important town in Shaanxi. The whole country caused a sensation. Then, the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi was attached to each other. In less than half a year, nearly 100,000 people were focused, and they also conquered Ziyang, Xunyang, Hanyin and other counties around Xing'an Prefecture. The troops were aimed directly at Hanzhong, connecting Sichuan in the south and resisting Gan'an Shaanxi in the north...

Another group, Wang Cong'er, Yao Zhifu and others broke into the border area between Henan and Hubei. Moreover, Wang Cong'er once led an elite army out of Suizhou to capture Xiaogan through Anlu, which shocked Wuchang. He immediately dispatched a large number of troops to defend Wuchang. After Wang Cong'er led his army to attack Wuchang several times, he knew that he could not do anything and retreated. However, during the battle, the Qing army had several generals, the general Fu Chengming, the guerrilla Liang Shouxin and others.

In the south, the north of Guangxi is now in ruins. The Guangdong soldiers who had been transferred from the past and Guangxi soldiers to defend Guilin Prefecture. However, the land north of Guilin was all included in the White Lotus Sect. They went west and joined forces with the Miao people in Guizhou to seize the Liping Prefecture in Guizhou.

"...The destructive power of these people is really serious. Now, the White Lotus Sect has formed a chaos with the Qing army in this area, where I have an enemy and an enemy. The Qing army is also very uncomfortable. The Eight Banners have long become waste, and the Green Camp has long been useless. The soldiers that can be used, besides the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, are all the others, haha... It seems that it is really hard to estimate how long this chaos will take, but the White Lotus Sect has no view of the overall situation. Although it can be turned upside down, it will still be difficult to become a great person in the end." Ni Ming stretched out the baton in his hand and pointed at the huge map. After telling Liang Pengfei and others about the latest battle situation, he made a clear summary. "It's a pity that the suffering is still the people in the world."
