I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 192 Miao Uprising
In the 61st year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, it was the first year of Jianwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty.

In February, Gao Qizhuo acted (temporarily) as governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Zhang Guangsi was appointed as Sizhou, Guizhou.

Gao Qituo is an interesting person. He is a good old man who has been famous since the Kangxi Dynasty. He doesn't like to cause trouble, and he also adheres to the golden mean in doing things. He does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

Yong Zheng once complained that this man was too honest and was not an official, at least he was qualified to be an official under him.However, since his governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was promoted by Kangxi, Yongzheng could not remove him at will unless there was a major mistake.

And Gao Qizhuo's predecessor was named Zhang Wenhuan. This man was very powerful. Unlike the governors of other places, this man had risen through the ranks based on his military exploits.

When he was the commander-in-chief of Datong, he followed Kangxi in three campaigns against Ge Erdan and won many battles. He was a veritable warrior.If there weren't too many famous generals in the early Kangxi Dynasty, this young man would be ranked high.

It would be impossible for such a person to be honest as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

During Zhang Wenhuan's tenure, he either requested an increase in the local garrison strength (the Yunnan-Guizhou garrison was 8 people...) or reported on the survey of strategically important places in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. He was obviously unwilling to be left alone.

Only two years after he left office, the local garrison in Yunnan and Guizhou deliberately angered the local Miao chieftains. Fortunately, the new governor Gao Qizhuo made timely remedial measures, so that it did not cause a catastrophe.

Of course, Gao Qizhuo also made Yongzheng unhappy because of this, because this guy took remedial measures and put an end to the turmoil in time, and his ability was indeed remarkable.

But as an honest man, Gao Qizhuo, in order to prevent Yongzheng from blaming him, actually tried to cover up the matter, which made Yongzheng very angry.

And another Guizhou Sizhou Zhang Guangsi, this person is even more powerful. Unlike Zhang Wenhuan, Zhang Guangsi is a well-known general in the Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties.

Including the large-scale Miao chieftain uprising in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, it was this man who put down all of them.

It was thanks to this famous general that Yongzheng successfully carried out Guizhou's reform of the country.

These four words, "change one's native soil and return to one's current status," are filled with blood.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the above incidents would have occurred from the late Yongzheng period to the early Qianlong period, and it was because the good old Gao Qizhuo was transferred away and replaced by another hard-line Ertai.

However, the situation is different now. Yunnan and Guizhou are still following the old historical path. During his tenure, Zhang Wenhuan deliberately provoked the Miao people to hate the imperial court.

There was no need for him to pick him. Yungui and Xiangxi Hongmiao didn't have much favorable impression of the Qing court.

This is not because of the cultural differences between Han and Miao, or that the conflicts and conflicts caused by the cultural differences between the two were all caused by the Qing court.

Because the Qing Dynasty ignored the cultural differences between Miao and Han, while forcefully promoting Sinicization and repatriation, it also adopted harsh defensive measures against the Miao people.The local officials in Yunnan and Guizhou are even more rampant, exploiting and plundering these Miao people wantonly.

The biggest difference between Miao culture and Han culture lies in "blood revenge". This is not the conventional understanding of simply killing people to pay for their lives, or avenging relatives. .

The most prominent example is that Shi Manyi, a young Miao man, was killed by the Qing army, which directly triggered the Qianjia Miao Uprising.

The reason for this is that the Miao people use male-line organizations to unite family members and form social organizations such as "Drum Club, Yilang" and so on. The concept of clan blood relations is very strong. Basically, when a family is in trouble, everyone helps each other.

The Miao people themselves also continue to enhance national cohesion through means such as the Drum and Tibetan Festival, in order to stay together for warmth.

In the Miao people's concept, the village is the clan as a whole, and if a member of the village is violated, it is an violation of the village as a whole.

The impact of this is that once the Miao people in a certain village are violated, it will trigger a stress response in the entire village, which will then turn into an uprising.

And because of the concept of clan blood relations, if one village breaks out, other villages will often follow suit quickly.

The Miao uprisings thus manifested were often fast and violent, and the resistance was extremely tenacious, requiring huge losses to suppress them.Gao Qizhuo, the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is a good old man who does not seek merit but seeks no fault. He has been in office for almost three months, but he still cannot fully grasp the actual situation of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Although the soldiers and generals in Yunnan and Guizhou did not say that they were too self-respecting to support the troops, they basically did not think highly of Qizhuo, the new governor.

Gao Qizhuo's luck was "good". The Qing Dynasty's forced agrarian reform triggered three major Miao uprisings in Yunnan and Guizhou, and even joined forces with the White Lotus Sect.

This first uprising was supposed to occur during the transition between Yongzheng and Qianlong, but now that Gao Qi is the new governor, the soldiers below have completely lost their restraint.

Gao Qizhuo's reluctance to cause trouble made him dare not make any independent decisions, punish these Yunnan border generals, and change the policies left by the former governor Zhang Wenhuan.

As a result, Guangdong and Guangxi were in turmoil, the puppet Ming Dynasty was causing great trouble in the southeast, and the north was also a war-torn stall.

The Miao Uprising in Guzhou, which was supposed to break out in March of the 13th year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign, came ahead of schedule.

The government was extremely vicious and used the opportunity of raising food to extort money from the Miao people (and the Buyi people).Unable to bear the oppression, the Bamei, Gaobiao, Zhaihao and other village Miao people in Guzhou (Liping Prefecture) launched a brazen uprising under the leadership of Bao Li and Hongyin.

Just like in the 13th year of Yongzheng's reign, they carved signals on the wood and contacted the Miao people from all over the world to tell them that "the Miao King was born".

Relying on the influence of clan blood relatives, this wave of Miao uprising, which was 13 years ahead of schedule, has not weakened at all, but has become larger in scale.

"Guizhou Tongzhi" said: "The Miao people in the six halls are in harmony with each other. ... The women and girls are in a frenzy."

In less than half a month, Bao Li and Hongyin led the rebellious Miao army to attack Wangling flood in Guzhou Ting. At this time, it was not yet the eighth year of Yongzheng reign, and there was no general soldier in Guzhou town.

The weak Guzhou Hall was easily captured by the rebellious Miao army.

The morale of the Miao army in the uprising was greatly boosted, and the Miao people in surrounding Miao villages followed suit.These Miao people had long hated the Qing government and Han officials, and the uprising troops grew rapidly like blowing up balloons.

Soon there were tens of thousands of troops, and the troops were directed towards the city of Liping.

However, the Miao rebel army had no siege equipment and advanced too quickly.Although Liping's city is weak in military strength, it is still a city, and the Han officials and gentry in it also know what will happen if the city is destroyed.

These Miao people not only hate the government, but also hate the Han people.

Under the unified defense of Liping Mansion, Bao Li tried to attack for two days but found that he could not defeat it.Young and energetic, he immediately chose to give up and led the rebel army to fight in Zhenyuan Prefecture.

The rebel army first rushed to the area between Qingjiang and Taigong, absorbing hundreds of Miao people from the Miao village including Zangnu.The uprising team swelled again, directly breaking through to 2 troops.

Leaders such as Baoli and Hongyin, who had strong soldiers and horses, immediately led the rebel army to attack Taigong, destroying all the pond houses in the Wawei area where the Qing army transmitted messages, blocking the transmission of information between Qingjiang and Taigong.

The rebel army deliberately did not attack Qingjiang Hall, let alone Zhenyuan Fucheng. Instead, they went north to attack everywhere.

Qiongshuisi, Liuluoying, Kaili, Chong'anjiang, Huangping, Yanmenxinsi, Yanmenjiusi, Huangpingjiuzhou, Yuqing, Pailue and other places fell one after another in the coming days.

Zhu Ruoqi, the magistrate of Yuqing County, abandoned the city and fled, Luo Mingxu, the magistrate of Huangping County, committed suicide in fear of crime, Qian Zongjin Sheng escaped in panic, and Yanmen Chieftain He Qiren, Zhang Chunquan, Feng Bingwen and others drowned themselves.

This Guzhou Miao uprising quickly swept through southeastern Guizhou, just like in history.
