An Baili Uprising
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, bureaucratic landlords occupied a lot of farmers' land. Farmers can't make a living, so they have to live in rivers and lakes and make a living by selling arts. Wang Conger lost his father when he was young. He studied acrobatics, horse racing, rope walking, knives and sticks with his mother. Anything will do. The mother and daughter traveled all over the country with their skills and lived a wandering life. One day, the mother and daughter came to Xiangyang and got the help of a man named Qi Lin in an accident, and joined the White Lotus Sect. Head of An Baili School in Xiangyang, Qi Lin. After Wang Conger became a missionary, he often used his status as a street performer to publicize the teachings of Anbaili in the Jianghu. Because of similar interests, feelings are getting deeper and deeper, and they soon got married. After their marriage, Qi Lin and Wang Conger led the Christians in Anbaili to plan an armed uprising against the Qing Dynasty.
When Xiao Shenyang was in power, the Qing Dynasty was corrupt, local officials were corrupt, and the people complained bitterly. At that time, in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, An Baili became popular again. Liu Song, an Anhui native, went to Henan to preach and used the opportunity of treating diseases to persuade people to believe in religion. Later, it was discovered by the government and exiled to Gansu.
Liu Song and his disciples Liu Zhixie and Song Zhiqing fled to Hubei to continue their missionary work. They preach that the Qing Dynasty is dead, and a new world will emerge in the future, so that everyone who joins the church can get land. The local poor farmers are fed up with the exploitation of landlords and are eager to get land. After listening to this propaganda, they joined the White Lotus Society.
The news that more and more people joined the White Lotus Sect alarmed Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Tommy Tam ordered the palace to arrest Christians. Some officials, once veterans of extortion, took the opportunity to send officials to ask from house to house. Whether you are a believer or not, you have to pay a sum of money to cash them. The rich gave their lives, and the poor were put in prison, tortured and even killed. There is an official in Wuchang who can't extort money from the people. Luo Zhi and the United States accuse thousands of people of being implicated. Both believers and people who have not joined the church are forced to destroy their families and hate the government even more.
Liu Zhixie, the founder of Anbaili Sect, arrived in Xiangyang and called a meeting of believers to discuss. Everyone says that the world is really turning people against the government! It is better to resist. After some discussion, it was decided to launch a mass uprising with the slogan of forcing the people to oppose the government and sending Christians to contact alone.
More and more people join the White Lotus Society every day. Seeing that the conditions for the uprising were ripe, Qi Lin and Wang Conger decided to revolt in Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, news of the uprising spread like wildfire, and Qi Lin and other 100 Christians were arrested. They were all killed. After Qi Lin's death, Wang Conger was elected as * * *, and secretly continued to prepare for a new armed uprising.
Uprising process
1796, Wang Conger learned that the White Lotus Sect in other places had launched an armed uprising. Everyone unanimously elected her as the chief teacher. So she led the rebels to kill corrupt officials, open granaries and distribute food to the poor. At this time, the American army in Wang Conger has grown to 40,000 to 50,000.
Later, she led the insurgents from Hubei to Sichuan, joined forces with the insurgents in Sichuan, and formed the145,000 insurgents. In order to facilitate the command, the insurgents are divided into eight armies, with yellow, green, blue and white as their numbers. Wang Conger was elected commander of the Eighth Army. A young woman can become the leader of such a large-scale uprising, which shows how capable Wang Conger is!
1798, Wang Conger led the insurgents all the way to Xi 'an. When the Qing emperor Jia saw the growing momentum of the rebels, he panicked and quickly ordered
Wang Conger Rebels fought in Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi provinces and attacked government troops. The next year, I joined the insurgents in Sichuan. Seeing the failure of loyalist encirclement and suppression, Jia Di's eyes were red with anger, and she cursed Wang Conger as the culprit. He also issued a letter sternly condemning some conspirators, dismissing them from their posts and committing crimes, and sternly urging local generals to concentrate on encircling the rebels in Wang Conger.
Liang Ming, the general of the Qing army, put forward a vicious plan to Jiaqing Emperor, asking local landlords to organize armed vigilantes and build bunkers. When the rebels came, they drove people to the bunker and told them that they could not live without the help of the masses, and they could not live without food and grass. This practice is called strengthening the city walls and clearing the wilderness. Emperor Jia of the Qing Dynasty ordered all localities to adopt this tactic, and the activities of the rebels became more and more difficult. The Qing army besieged Wang Conger in northern Sichuan. Wang Conger got rid of the siege of the Qing army and personally led twenty thousand troops to attack Xi 'an, only to be stopped by loyalists in the west, and I lost again. When he returned to Hubei, Liang led the loyalist to chase after him. The rebels were intercepted by loyalists behind them and armed militia groups of landlords in front. Finally, he was surrounded by the enemy in Sanchahe, Yunxi.
Facing the crisis, Wang Conger ordered the rebels to retreat to Maoshan forest, ready to organize a breakthrough. After the army found it, it surrounded Maoshan and swarmed from the front and back of the mountain. After tenacious resistance, the rebels finally failed. Seeing that Wang Conger couldn't break through, and she and her men didn't want to be prisoners without her, they retreated to the top of the mountain and jumped off the steep cliff with their men, making a heroic sacrifice. The heroine Wang Conger is only 22 years old.
