late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 491 The last madness of Lijiabao

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 like Cao Kezhong, Tao Maolin, and Zhang Hua are all members of the Gelaohui. With the purpose of anti-Qing and Fuming, they joined the ranks of Hui uprisings and called for more Han people to join in anti-Qing and Fuming. The village doesn't welcome them either.From more than 400 people during the uprising to more than 2000 people today, it seems that the team has increased a lot, but most of them are refugees, with insufficient weapons and ammunition, and most of them are using swords and spears.

The Gelaohui mainly takes the form of "opening the mountains" and "calling on the alliance".

Gelaohui evolved from Tiandihui, Renyihui and Jianghuhui.As a secret folk association, the Gelaohui has a long history of struggle, but before the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, it was active in the folk under the name of the Jianghuhui.During the Jiaqing period, it was also called the Renyihui, and the Renyihui was also a branch of the Tiandihui.Therefore, "from Tiandihui to Renyihui and Jianghuhui to Chenggelaohui, this is its origin and flow."

Later, the Gelaohui experienced two important stages: the integration of Gulu and the White Lotus Sect during the White Lotus Sect Uprising in Sichuan, Chu, and Shanxi, 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 changes in social forms, the rapid development of secret associations in extreme social turmoil, and the extensive integration of parties and religious sects, the embryonic form of the organization form of Hulu absorbed the Tiandihui, the White Lotus Sect, etc. Several characteristics of the organization gradually formed.

Li Rong, the Jiangning Salt Transport Envoy, said: "There is still a Gulu Society in Sichuan. There are famous halls in Lianhua Mountain and Fugui Hall in Lianhua Mountain, and Shunde Hall in Emei Mountain. Each hall has old hats for sitting halls and old hats for walking halls. Each hall has eight cards, with one, two, three, five as the upper four, and six or eight. Ninety is the next four cards, and the words four and seven are taboos, so this card is not set up. The person who presides over the counseling is called the second master of the sage, and the one who collects and manages the money is called the third master of the family. There is a red flag fifth master who is in charge of passing on the message Send people; Black Banner Wuye wields a knife and stick to kill, and those who gather a party to rob are called letting go, and they are called forming a team."

What Li Rong described was exactly the situation of the Gelaohui.Zuo Zongtang also said: "Those who built the elder brother's meeting, this Sichuan and Guizhou used to have an alias of Gulu."

This is also the source of the constant bombing camps of the Qing army. There is also a reason why soldiers continue to join the Gelaohui.Because the members of the Gelaohui 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, who will run away on their own when the battle is unfavorable.Because on the battlefield, soldiers need the help of their comrades-in-arms. With the help of comrades-in-arms of the Gelaohui, more and more people joined the Gelaohui organization. The soldiers of the Gelaohui were all dismissed, and even massacred to solve this cancer, but it still failed to prevent the spread of the Gelaohui in the army.

In the Qing army fighting in the northwest, members of the Gelaohui led the army to "bomb the camp" more than once. Both Liu Mingchuan and Lei Zhengwan were severely punished for "bombing the camp" by their troops.

Cao Kezhong led a battalion of troops to rebel, but the Northwest had long been tortured by the Hui army, and could not pull out a decent team from the beginning to the end. After fighting in the Northwest, they could only rely on the wings of the Hui army under.The slogan put forward by the uprising at the beginning has become outdated.The Hui people never thought of allowing the Han people to oppress them again. In Dong Zhiyuan, the Hui people had a higher status than the Han people, so Cao Kezhong's Han army was sent to Lijiabao, the forefront position on the Eastern Front.

Seeing a large number of Qing troops coming from the west city gate, blocking the retreat of the Hui army, the Hui army in Lijiabao knew that the Hui army in Xiao Kongtong was completely wiped out.Dong Zhiyuan used to be the strategic depth of the Hui army, and this is the home of the Hui army. Unexpectedly, it was compressed by the Qing army in a castle and could not move.

I thought that the war would not start until at least the beginning of spring, but now that the Qing army launched an offensive early, there is no room for the returning army in Lijiabao to maneuver.

The Hui soldiers in the city watched helplessly as the small fortress villages outside the city were easily conquered by the Qing army. With a few bangs, a fortress on the high slope of the loess collapsed. Snow mountain lion flag.Thousands of kilometers away, the Qing army was massacring the unarmed Muslims, and those captured Muslims were shot at the foot of the Lijiabao castle.

No one shouted to the people on the top of the Lijiabao city. A dozen or twenty people, group after group of Hui people were shot dead. end.

The people on the top of the city were full of tears and wept bitterly, gnashing their teeth and scolding the cruelty of the Qing army. The blood debt must be paid with blood. There are so many blood debts, which is why the Hui people rebelled.Rebellion is justified, long live the Hui uprising!

The Hui army had long forgotten the scene when they went out to hunt for food, and they treated the Han villages in the same way. The war wiped out human nature, and it was impossible to tell who was nobler than the other.

Originally, Cao Kezhong's troops were still relying on them. There were as many as 44 Francine cannons, howitzers and mortars seized from various places. The corpses of the Manchu army.But now they are in a state of anxiety, unable to figure out the strength of the Qing army, because the Qing army built forts a thousand meters away.

Although I haven't seen the red cannons of the Qing army yet, the cannons weighing several thousand kilograms can be dragged to the forward position in the ice and snow, which made the defenders of Lijiabao panic. The Qing army dragged the red cannons used to defend the city to the high slope of the loess , how is this done?The minds of the Hui army were in disarray. Although they were determined to die, both the Hui and the Han knew that their doomsday was coming.An atmosphere of despair spread over Lijiabao, thousands of lifeless faces turned pale, no different from dead people.

From the outside, there is not much difference between returning troops, except for those who have no beards, they all have big beards and look slovenly. Tao Maolin took the telescope to observe the fort in the distance, cursing in his mouth: "Mother Xipi! Yang Da Wazi deceived his teacher to destroy his ancestors, sores all over his body, and his family members died."

For a person who has a heart and believes that the interests of the gang are above all else, he can't figure out that Dawazi Yang will do the thing of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.They have 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 lackeys of the Qing Dynasty to death, you should save your energy. Since Mr. Yang chose to leave our team, he is our unshakable enemy. He should be under the city too. He is a shameless man. Know the shame, until now I have not seen his banner."

Zhang Hua snorted and said, "Brother, you think highly of Da Wazi Yang. He only has a few hundred people, and Man Gou will give him a banner? When the city is attacked, he will be cannon fodder. The first person to climb the top of the city must be Yang Dawazi's men and horses."

"Yes, you deserve it if you die!" Cao Kezhong clenched his fists gloatingly, loudly boosting morale.

Cao Kezhong lamented in his heart, didn't his soldiers and horses also be used as cannon fodder by the Fourth Marshal Cui Wei.Hui people are fighting for independence, and there are so many people who support them and are willing to sacrifice their lives for a noble cause.And what about them?Even the Han people didn't believe the Gelaohui's claims, and regarded the Gelaohui's uprising as a triad rebellion. After countless bloody battles, no city has ever opened its gates to welcome the arrival of the Gelaohui's rebels.

Who can be blamed?Zheng Chenggong, the founder of the Gelaohui, had a record of massacring 30 civilians at one time, even worse than the Manchu massacre of the city.The so-called national heroes did not regard the Han people as human beings either.Under the wanton slander of the Qing Dynasty, the Gelaohui had a poor image in the eyes of the Qing people, and the national hero Zheng Chenggong was demoted to nothing by the Qing Dynasty.The two banners held high by the Gelaohui, "Fight the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

"There are not many cannons full of dogs, there are not many, don't be afraid! As long as we withstand the first wave of offensive, it will be time for our Franji to show its talents." Tao Maolin held up his binoculars and kept looking for the cannons on the forts outside the city. I couldn't find a door, so I comforted myself and told my companions.

In the offensive and defensive battle of Lijiabao, the Hui army had the right time, place and people. With the support of 44 large and small artillery, the Hui army felt a little confident, thinking that at least they could start an offensive and defensive battle with the Chu army at the head of the city.

But Huijun's fear of Zuo Zongtang, the god-man, has already attached to his heart. No one dares to pull out a troop to start a decisive battle in the open field with Zuo Zongtang's Chu army.The huge disadvantage of weapons, and the fearless rush of the Chu army, has already made the Hui army lose the ability to maneuver and fight. Without geographical advantages, the Hui army dare not fight the Chu army even for a round. The Hui army can only rely on the geographical advantage , Holding on to the battle situation, trying to drag the Qing army down on Dong Zhiyuan's vast loess high slope.

"Small Kongtong is a fortress made of loess. It is normal for the enemy to break through. Ours is a fortress made of huge stones. It is completely different. Old Mao Xu waits to collect the corpses in Lijiabao. Tens of thousands of people will not die. The dogs can’t even see the view from the top of the wall. Hahahaha!” Cao Kezhong talked and laughed loudly, boosting morale loudly, giving the surrounding soldiers the illusion that the Qing army was nothing more than that, and who would win?

"Swear to the death to defend Dong Zhiyuan, and to the death to defend the Hui people's right to survive!" The Hui army on the top of the city raised their arms and shouted slogans, both Hui people and Han people were shouting.

Now the Hui people have become weak, and the weak do not have high demands, not high at all, they just want to live and live with dignity like human beings.But the Manchus did not even give the Hui people this basic requirement, so they took up their swords and guns and pointed them at their former masters.The Hui people no longer talk about establishing an independent Islamic kingdom. They just fight for the right to survive and only need a little local autonomy. The Hui people dream of establishing a highly autonomous chieftain regime like the Nanmanzi.This is also the determination to support them to fight on, to create a world and gain a firm foothold in the Northwest.

Cao Kezhong's mouth was full of bitterness. The elder brother who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty was reduced to a vassal of the Hui army here, and he was fighting for the independence of the Hui people, which was completely different from his original thinking when he rebelled.At the beginning, the brothers and elders would divide the rudder and agree to coordinate with each other, but the army that succeeded in the uprising had few troops and thousands of rebellious officers and soldiers. Although it caused some losses to the Qing Dynasty, it did not form an overwhelming shock wave.Some Gelaohui organizations were suppressed by the Qing army before they even raised an issue.He couldn't even mention the purpose of the uprising, and even he didn't agree with the slogans he shouted. Could it be that he wanted to join Islam?In the future, we will strive for greater interests for the Hui people.

Although Cao Kezhong was a staunch member of the Old Brotherhood, he also thought about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, but his fate was different. Dawazi Yang had the opportunity to make contributions and returned to the Qing Dynasty.Even if he pleads guilty now, he will not escape death.He and his brothers have nowhere to go. Even if they know that Cui Wei, the Fourth Marshal, has sent him to Lijiabao as cannon fodder, he can't escape. Destiny will come to an end here.There were too many soldiers capable of fighting in the Qing Dynasty. It was impossible to defend Lijiabao by relying on more than 2000 Han Chinese and more than 2000 Muslims. Cao Kezhong didn't even have the courage to speak big words, and the only way left for him was to burn jade and stone dead end.

At least he had been happy and flirtatious, walked through his life in a chic way, and had no regrets in this life. Cao Kezhong cheered up, with a sinister expression on his face, lifted the belt of his trousers, and shouted: "Brothers, a dog will not attack at night , go have a good time first, fuck his mother's little lady."

"Hey hey hey!" A large group of people swarmed down the city, they embarked on this road of no return, not thinking about what will happen tomorrow?Death is a relief for them, and those little ladies will go to the underworld with them, the relationship of flesh and blood, how can it be gone by the Qing dogs.

War is so cruel and ruthless, one's own people kill one's own, weak women are 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 fortress made of huge stones, with guns and cannons and soldiers capable of fighting, can last at least three or four days.Cao Kezhong had never seen the power of a salvo of hundreds of cannons. He didn't know that tomorrow would be the end of Lijiabao.

Now Lijiabao has become very confused, waiting for the returning army who was hit by the thunder of the Qing army, staged the last madness, vented the last desire of life, and turned Lijiabao into the last piece of paradise in life.
