Chapter 601: The People's Revolution in Western Liaoning
When Jianing reported the Changchun Xiong Yuemin Change, he was almost discouraged, and he made such a big oolong, he expected that his career would inevitably end. However, things are not as bad as Jianing imagined, because the whole province of Fengtian is full of baskets, and the Lou Zi he stabbed is not big at all.
It has been less than two months since officials at all levels in Northern Manchukuo took over Mukden, and the Shengjing General's Mansion in Tepuqin has not been completely abolished, and countless chaos has already occurred in the whole province of Mukden. Jianing still did something to make a mess, and in many places, they didn't even do anything, and they already made trouble. The most serious of the riots in various places were Ningyuan, Guangning Qiantun, Jianchang and other three counties near Shanhaiguan, where tens of thousands of villagers gathered, and they had already risen up and turned into large-scale chaos. The rebellious people in Qiantun of Guangning even broke the county seat and attacked and killed the new county commander.
Mukden Province was received peacefully and did not need to use force, so North Manchu only sent civilian officials and police in the early stage, except for a few key points such as Mukden, Jinzhou, Andong, and Shanhaiguan, there were no large troops stationed in other places. There are mercenaries stationed along the southern coast and along the railway, and the imperial court in the Guannai will not use force against Northern Manchuria, and Mukden should be absolutely safe, and no one thought that there would be such a thing as a civil uprising. It is precisely because there is no preparation that there is no regular armed force in various localities, and only some police officers are relied on to coordinate with the Qing troops stationed in the original area to maintain local order.
Among the rebels in Qiantun of Guangning were veterans who had participated in the Liaoxi Uprising during the Xianfeng period, so they had certain combat and command experience, so they broke out with strong combat effectiveness. The county order of Qiantun in Guangning also did not expect the people to rise up at all, so the defense was very negligent and directly attacked the county seat for the chaotic people. The Qing army, which was about to be dismantled, would not help the county order from North Manchukuo at this time, and would directly watch from the wall, without help on either side, which was tantamount to helping the rebellious people. Without heavy weapons and rapid-fire weapons, no matter how powerful the police are, they can't stop the tens of thousands of rioters, so they can only protect the civilian officials to run away first. However, the county magistrate of Qiantun in Guangning was a dead eye, and he resolutely refused to leave his post without permission, so the police could only withdraw with the family members of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate died under the hoe of the rioters in his own office.
"It's too anxious, we messed up this time, how to appease the people!" The news of the chaos in various places came back to Changchun, and even though Guoxing Adang was in a mess, he was anxious to pace back and forth in the meeting hall of Fengluantai like an ant on a hot pot.
Through the reports of Jianing and several other capable magistrates, Guo Xing'a has roughly analyzed the reasons for the chaos in Mukden. The people of Fengtian Province still have a lot of feudal consciousness in their minds, and they are very dependent on the old management system. If Northern Manchuria wants to reform, it must go slowly and come slowly, just like changing customs. This time, all localities were in a hurry, which naturally provoked these people who accepted their reasons for death. The northern part of Liaobei is close to Jilin, so it has accepted some new ideas, so there is not much resistance. The central Liaoning region was still immersed in the past, and could not accept the reform of North Manchukuo at all, but because there were also many Shandong immigrants in the local area, they were more forbearant in order to survive, so there was no big chaos. In western Liaoning, almost all of them are aborigines, and Guangning Qiantun, Jianchang and other places simply belonged to Zhili and Rehe, and they are naturally more stubborn ideologically, so naturally they have the strongest resistance. Moreover, the western Liaoning region has been relatively barren for many years, and there was a riot and uprising a few years ago. Guo Xing, who understood these truths, naturally thought about how to calm the anger of the people, and then slowly promote reform.
"Kill officials and rebel, these traitors are bandits, please send troops to quell the rebellion!" Pi Runmin and the others were all very angry, as if the rebels had committed a great crime.
"The people are not wrong! It's human nature that we're in too much of a hurry, and they can't figure it out for a while. How can troops be sent to slaughter the people? The method proposed by Pi Runmin and others is extremely difficult for Guo Xinga to accept.
"They have killed the officials we appointed, and they have already pulled the flag and rebelled!" Pi Runmin and the others also had a hard time understanding Guo Xing'a's thoughts, and they were very surprised, they really couldn't understand why Guo Xing'a had such a strange idea.
"It's just a riot, don't say it's so serious. Why don't we send some more officials to appease them, so that the situation can be calmed down!" If it doesn't work, I'll go over in person and give them a promise! We will slow down the pace of reform and never make it so drastic again! Goxing Ake didn't want his army to deal with his own people, and he didn't think that the people would give up their peaceful lives and concentrate on fighting the government.
"The chaotic people in Xiongyue, Gaizhou, Xiuyan, Panshan, and Fuzhou may be appeased, but how can the rebels in the three counties of western Liaoning be appeased, if they don't immediately send troops to exterminate them and let them act recklessly, the entire western Liaoning will have to be disturbed by them." Pi Runmin had never seen Guo Xing'a so entangled, but he was afraid that there would be something in it, so he lowered a gear and let go of the chaotic people in Liaozhong, but he resolutely refused to let go of the few places that had already killed officials and attacked the city.
"Mr. Zeyuan, don't open your mouth to mess with the people, shut up and fight against thieves! They are also our people, they only have opinions about our policies, and the guns of our armies must not be easily pointed at our own people. Governing for the people, the world for the public, what we do is for our people, if we want to make us and our own people fight each other, this reform is not carried out! Pi Runmin's hostile words to the people, Guo Xing'a heard it very harshly.
"The general's words of benevolence and love for the people in his heart are indeed reasonable, but now the bandits in western Liaoning have started up, and they must be stopped with swords. The sooner the army is mobilized, the sooner the disaster can be quelled, and the casualties of the people will be reduced, but if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that not only will the disaster continue, but it will also affect more people! "Guo Xing's displeasure, Pi Runmin heard it very clearly, but he was not prepared to continue to get used to Guo Xing'a today. It is a matter of course for the people to rebel and send troops to quell the chaos, but Guo Xing'a suddenly became a corrupt Confucian, and his pedantic words were endless, and Pi Runmin, who had been in charge of Manchuria for nearly ten years, was also angry.
A meeting on the popular uprising turned into a senseless quarrel between the general and the first minister, and there was no pattern at all, and no agreement was reached after a day of arguing. In the end, Guo Xing'a moved out of the training and political threats, so that Pi Runmin accepted his opinion. Pi Runmin really had no choice but to urgently telegraph officials in various places to change their policies and appease the people everywhere. However, Pi Runmin was also dissatisfied in his heart.
"From ancient times to the present, where is there a reason for the government to apologize to the people, if the people taste the sweetness, in the future, if there is any unsatisfactory will cause trouble, how to govern the place in the future! The general's insistence on going his own way is really the way to take chaos! If the government retreats today, where will the prestige of the government be in the future, and where will the official system be? As soon as Guo Xing'a left, Pi Runmin roared loudly, regardless of the fact that Zou Degui's people were still present.
After the pacification order was executed, some places where there was little movement did stop, but in several places where the contradictions were more prominent, such as Xiongyue and Gaizhou, there were still a large number of people blocking the city gates. Guangning Qiantun and other places that had already used force were even more unmoved, and even almost slaughtered the officials who came to appease.
Although the three places also used force, their respective routines are also very different. After the rebel army of Jianchang drove out the officials of Northern Manchuria, they prepared to break through the Shanhaiguan Pass, and then annexed the Qing court with the Shanhaiguan. They felt that Northern Manchuria was an aggressor, and the Qing court was forced to give up on them, as long as they could fight back, they would inevitably be able to return to the arms of the imperial court. The situation in Ningyuan was relatively chaotic, and it was not a group of people who started the incident in the local area, so after occupying the Ningyuan Acropolis, they didn't have time to deal with the North Manchurian government at all, so their own people made trouble first. The rebel army of the three uprisings and the Qing army originally stationed in Ningyuan all wanted to compete for the position of the boss, and they fought happily in Ningyuan City every day, almost cutting off contact with the outside world. The most courageous is Qiantun in Guangning, where the number of Yuan Yi soldiers who avoided disaster after the Liaoxi Uprising was the largest, so Li Erhei, the leading brother, was quickly selected and also formulated his own strategy. Under the wise leadership of Li Erhei, the rebel army in Qiantun in Guangning was neither ready to annex to the Qing Dynasty nor wanted to be trapped in a lonely city, they wanted to fight out and establish their own kingdom in western Liao.
Bai Ling'a, who followed Bo Ritu to the northwest, if he could come to Liaoxi, maybe he would know Li Erhei and others, because when Bai Ling'a was crisscrossing Mengdong, Li Erhei and others also went to join in the fun. Although Bai Ling'a couldn't come to meet his acquaintances, Bai Ling'a's tactics back then, Li Erhei and others learned them well, and they were used to bully the Qing troops stationed in various parts of Fengtian, which was very sufficient. Because Guoxing'a refused to use troops to suppress the rebel army, and the Manchurian army in Jinzhou did not act rashly, the defense of all counties in western Liaoning fell on the head of the original Qing army. The Qing army was already weak and had nothing to say, and now it has no fighting spirit, so it is naturally about to collapse. After Li Erhei's soldiers left Guangning Qiantun, they destroyed the Ningyuan Righteous Army, which was also an uprising brother, in the first battle, and then went north to capture Nanpiao and Chaoyang County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yi County.
Li Erhei's marching army has some means to fight, but the army is really poor. After the rebels killed the officials, everyone had a sense of precariousness, and then they broke the jar and broke it, and they all wanted to live one day at a time. With troops with such thoughts, military discipline will definitely not be better. A group of people who are drunk today and drunk today still have knives in their hands, so they naturally burn, kill, and plunder everything. After conquering Chaoyang County, the size of the rebel army skyrocketed to 50,000 people, but it also completely degenerated into a group of bandits. But Li Erhei felt very good, he played his own banner, the founding name of the Tang Dynasty, and called himself Li Tang Li Tang Tianzi and Emperor Salvation of the People, and he wanted to come out and fight with Emperor Tongzhi and Guoxing, and compete for the world.
"Send troops to quell the rebellion, we can't let them mess up again! The general order is that all ministries should pay close attention to the situation of civil unrest in various places, accept requests for help from local governments at any time, and if there is a sudden change, they will be suppressed immediately! Let's do the reform together! Long pain is better than short pain, let's do things at once! "After watching Guoxing's Jinzhou Emergency Electricity, I was mentally hit hard, and my attitude changed 180 degrees.
