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

Chapter 224 Yungui Corruption
Guizhou, Sizhou.

Although Sizhou is a prefecture, it does not have a county, only four Xuanwei divisions.

A few months ago, the Miao uprising army was so powerful that it was sweeping the entire Qiangui.

Just now, an unprecedented rout occurred under the city of Sizhou Prefecture, and Hong Yin, one of the leaders of the rebel army, died on the spot.

This is actually their own fault.

The troops were raised ten years in advance, but relying on the cohesion of the Miao people, they broke out with the same or even stronger combat effectiveness than ten years later.

But their luck was really bad. This year happened to be the year that Zhang Guangsi became the prefect of Sizhou.

Zhang Guangsi, the man who held the red flag in the Han army, was an extraordinary person. Although he was just a small prefect of Sizhou, he was a famous general who served throughout the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.

Let’s put it this way!Zhang Guangsi served as Yue Zhongqi's deputy general and followed him to conquer Junggar.

It was Zhang Guangsi who single-handedly quelled the Guzhou Miao uprising that swept through the entire Guizhou and Guizhou provinces and forced Ortai, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to resign.

At that time, Zhang Guangsi had already served as the governor of Huguang. With the corruption in the southwest uncontrollable, he was ordered to control the armies of the six provinces and could almost be regarded as the governor of the six provinces.

In just a few months, the rebellious Miao people were quickly put down.

In the Qianlong Dynasty, Zhang Guangsi was also appointed as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, plus the prince's Taibao. The governor managed the battles of Jinchuan and Jinchuan.

This was also Zhang Guangsi's last battle.

In a script almost similar to Yue Zhongqi's, Zhang Guangsi was axed by Qianlong for "delaying the opportunity to fight".

Along with those who were killed, there were also Neqin who was sent to the front line by Qianlong to restrain Zhang Guangsi, making it difficult for Zhang Guangsi to command the entire army, and the stalemate became tense.

The Miao rebel army originally only attacked Qiongshui Division (Bagong). Seeing that Sizhou Gucheng and the prefect were new, he must be a useless and weak scholar.

As a result, this Miao rebel army relied on the strength of their numbers and before they were fully established, they came to attack Sizhou. They were ready to plunder, and then followed the flow of Sizhou into western Hunan.

At this time, Kangxi and Yongzheng were still alternating, and the Miao people were mainly concentrated in Qiangui and Xiangxi. The Yunnan Miao people gradually moved in during the Qing Dynasty as they were repatriated and suppressed by the Qing army.

The Miao people in western Hunan are called Hongmiao, and they have surrendered due to the force of the Qing court.

As for how long they can obey, it all depends on whether the Qing court's reform can keep up with the decline of the Qing court's military force.
The Miao rebel army attacked Sizhou. They thought they were sure of success, but they couldn't conquer it for a long time.

Over time, morale will inevitably become low.

Zhang Guangsi decisively seized the opportunity, defied all opinions, and personally led a lone army to attack the enemy camp at night.

One battle will determine the outcome, and the Miao people will be defeated!
Hongyin died in battle, and Baoli gathered the remaining soldiers and retreated to the west.

Zhang Guangsi wanted to pursue them, but there were too many Miao people defeated, and he was the prefect of Sizhou. Without the order of the governor, he could not go out to Sizhou to quell the rebellion.

Zhang Guangsi had no choice but to sit back and watch the Miao people retreat. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Governor Gao Qizhuo, asking him to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

Then, the funny thing happened.

Zhang Guangsi defeated the Miao rebels with less and defeated the Miao rebels in one battle. He showed his unbelievable talent as a military commander with the dignity of a prefect.

Moreover, he and Gao Qizhuo, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, are in front and behind each other, and they are both newcomers.

Now that the Miao rebellion broke out in Guizhou, Gao Qizhuo, if he was smart, would definitely have to help Zhang Guangsi.

However, Gao Qizhuo's first reaction after learning the news was to tell Zhang Guangsi not to act rashly, to gather his men and not to attack the Miao people.

Then, a trustworthy local official was sent to appease him.

Yes, caress.

The other party had rebelled, and had just been attacked head-on by one of his prefects.At this time, instead of thinking about quickly dispatching troops to suppress, he actually wanted to appease.

A proper act of the Song Dynasty!
No wonder Yongzheng later scolded this man for being cowardly and causing trouble and not being useful.He also specially deleted all the words of praise he had given him from the memorial document to hide that he did not know the person.

Gao Qizhuo's attitude not only stared blankly at Zhang Guangsi, but also gave Bao Li a rare chance to breathe.

Bao Li first retreated all the way to the Pingyue Military and Civilian Mansion (renamed Zhili Prefecture in the third year of Jiaqing), where he took a short rest and then went south.

There are many Miao people in southern Guizhou.

The situation in Guizhou and Guizhou began to get out of control. …

Yunnan, Zhenyuan Mansion.

As a true southwestern border province, it is also a border province within a border province.

Although there are no Miao people here, there is another Luohei tribe (Layou tribe) who is also very dishonest.

Originally, it was supposed to wait until Yongzheng forcibly implemented the reform of native land and dismissed a large number of local chieftains at once, before the Diao (surnamed) people would be dissatisfied, and then the conflicts intensified.

The Luohei tribe launched an uprising.

But now, the Miao uprising in ancient Guizhou and Guizhou provinces has already changed beyond recognition by the time the news reaches Yunnan.

Some said that the officers and soldiers were defeated, some said that Qiandongnan had fallen, some said that Guiyang had been lost, and that the governor of Guizhou had committed suicide. There were all kinds of news.

The only thing they have in common is that they all badmouth the government.

Even Gao Qizhuo, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who lives deep in Yunnan Prefecture (Kunming), relied on government channels to obtain information, but there were various deviations.

It was only through Zhang Guangsi's urgent message that he realized that the Miao people had been killed.

No, Gao Qizhuo actually did not fully believe it, not to mention the uncertainty of the news itself.

Zhang Guangsi, a supervisor who was elected as a prefect, what could he do to kill so many Miao rebels?

The unequal intelligence information not only caused the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army to miss a good opportunity to quell the rebellion, but also triggered a more serious rebellion again.

Although the Luohei people rebelled in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign because they changed their land and returned to their hometown, this was actually a trigger. The local officials in the Qing court were still Han bureaucrats.

These Han bureaucrats exploited and treated these chieftains in various ways. In their eyes, the chieftains were aliens (...), how could they be considered human beings?

Even if they are human beings, they can even exploit their own people without restraint, just some toasts and low-class people.

It can be said that these black people have long been extremely disgusted with the government.

At this time, I suddenly heard that the Miao people in Qiangui were rebelling, and they even beat the government to the point of being "completely defeated."Although they are not brothers of the same race, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

As a result, Diao Huan (huàn) of Luoheitu Prefecture, who had not yet been deposed by the Qing court, took advantage of the situation and raised troops. Weiyuan Chieftain Zha Blacksmith, Xinping Chieftain Li Baidie, Huizhe Le Chief Chief Chieftain, Weiyuan Hall (Jinggu), and Guangnan Prefecture all The superiors and others responded one after another.

In just a few days, more than [-] troops gathered.

It was late August, last month.

After the Luohei rebels set fire to Weiyuan Tongzhi Yamen, they immediately sent troops north to attack Zhenyuan Mansion.

Zhenyuan City was caught off guard and was quickly attacked, and the prefect Liu Hongdu was killed.

When the news reached Yunnan Mansion, everyone in Gao Qizhuo was stunned.

The situation of the Miao people in Guizhou and Guizhou has not yet been clarified. Why is Yunnan rebelling again?
Moreover, Zhenyuan Mansion was the opposite. There were many black people in Zhenyuan Mansion. Except for one Pu'er County, they were all the territory of chieftains.

Especially now is not the time in history for a full-scale reform of the country. The chieftains are still very powerful. If this happens, it will be okay.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhenyuan Mansion is too close to Yunnan Mansion, and there is Yuanjiang Military and Civilian Mansion in the middle.

The Military and Civilian Government means that there are a lot of chieftains here, which means instability.

Now, at close range, Gao Qizhuo finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and in a panic, he hurriedly dispatched troops to suppress it.

However, it is not five years later, and the comprehensive reform of the country has not yet begun, and the strength of the chieftains has not been lost.

And Gao Qizhuo, the new governor, was afraid of trouble. Even if he mobilized troops for suppression, he would not dare to mobilize too many troops.

The result is almost unguessable. The counter-rebel army was not only completely wiped out, but also fought in an extremely embarrassing manner. It could almost be regarded as a panicked retreat.

Diao Huan took the opportunity to take root in Zhenyuan Mansion.

The chieftain rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces was out of control.

The only thing the Qing court was thankful for was that the passage for the Miao people to move eastward was blocked by Zhang Guangsi.
