Chapter 913: The root cause of chaos
Capital, Forbidden City, Military Machinery Payment Room.
The snow had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Looking at the urgent telegram sent by Fu Ji, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Prince Gong Yi's face also became gloomy. He did not expect that in just one day, even Suzhou City was lost. Suzhou Town's return-to-nation officers and soldiers mutinied. How many Suzhou Town's officers and soldiers returned to their hometowns? After a while, he said: "Please come to Suzhongtang."
Sushun came very quickly. Yi, who came in, looked gloomy and said tentatively: "Is it the rebellion in Suzhou?"
"In one day, even Suzhou City was lost." Yi? said angrily, "This is an urgent call from Fuji."
After receiving the telegram, Sushun frowned and sighed, "Yiguocheng is indeed foresighted. This rebellion may really lead to chaos."
Yi? said in a muffled voice: "How many officers and soldiers in Suzhou Town are Hui people?"
"Shaanxi and Gansu have always been a place where Hui people gather." Su Shun said slowly: "Shaanxi is the seventh chapter in the threeth chapter in the threeth chapter in Gansu, and the threeth chapter in the seventh chapter in the Jiadao town of Suzhou has more than 8,000 soldiers. Over the years, there have been only two thousand soldiers left. Not to mention that 70% are Hui people, at least more than 50% are Hui people. The four towns in Gansu are roughly the same."
After hearing this, Yi was silent for a while. In order to promote the military reform, various provinces have gradually and significantly abolished the Eight Banners Green Camp in recent years. Shaanxi and Gansu has stopped fighting because Yuan Qi stationed troops in Xinjiang on a large scale, and the layoffs are also extremely powerful. Unexpectedly, they have caused chaos.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Will this rebellion be related to the Yuanqi Western Expedition? I heard that Mashhad is one of the holy cities of the * Cult."
Su Shun smiled, "The Northwest Army fought westward and captured Mashhad, which could not avoid causing damage to Mashhad, nor could it cause a large number of casualties to the * believers, and it is not impossible to cause the Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu to share the same hatred of the enemy.
However, the main reason for the rebellion of the Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu should be the long-term discrimination, suppression and exclusion of Hui people by the imperial court, local officials in Shaanxi and Gansu, as well as Han gentry.
The Hui people are not a mess, but have strong cohesion and organization. Faced with the suppression of local governments and Han gentry, they often fight in groups, which leads to increasingly sharp confrontation in the conflict between the Hui and Han Dynasty. If the dispute between Gu and Tu in Guangxi is the source of chaos, the dispute between Hui and Han provinces between Shaanxi and Gansu provinces is also a source of chaos, because the dispute between Hui and Han is far more serious than the dispute between Gu and Tu.
The reason why Yiguocheng judged that once a rebellion broke out, it would be possible to become a prairie fire. It should be that the dispute over the guest and land in Guangxi caused the Changmao Rebellion. In addition, the empty forces of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and the high organizational and strong cohesion of the Hui people may lead to the rebellion being out of control."
Since the Qianlong Dynasty, the court has begun to use high-pressure measures to crack down on the Protestantism of Hui people. Yi knows this, but he doesn't know much about the dispute between Hui and Han. After a while, he said: "Over the years, Yuan Qi has vigorously organized Shaanxi and Gansu to immigrate to Xinjiang and Anxi, which should have invisibly reduced the conflicts between Hui and Han?"
"If you want to say that the rebellious rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu broke out, it has a lot to do with Yuanqi's immigration." Su Shun said slowly: "In order to consolidate the two provinces of Xinjiang and Anxi, Yuanqi immigrated from Henan, Huaibei and Shaanxi and Gansu in large quantities, but neither did he return home. The target of immigrants was Han people. This should be due to the consideration of increasing the proportion of Han people in Xinjiang and Anxi provinces of Xinjiang, but it invisibly increased the proportion of Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu, and also expanded the ambitions of Hui people."
"It's still Yuting who has a thorough understanding of the situation of Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu." Yi? said, "Yuan Qi has heavy troops stationed in Xuzhou and Jiangning, but why did he have to transfer troops from the capital without considering the lack of reinforcements?"
"Sixth Master is asking questions knowingly." Su Shun said with a smile: "The transfer of the Eight Banners New Army from the capital to Shaanxi and Gansu is nothing more than a purpose, bloody suppression!" After a pause, he continued: "Xinjiang, Anxi and the new conquered places of the Yuanqi expedition in the west basically believe in the * religion. This is to use the hands of the Eight Banners New Army to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
Since we want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, Yuan Qi's new army took action,
Wouldn't it be more shocking? Without asking this, Yi? He had already reacted. This was to let the Eight Banners New Army take the blame! After all, Yuan Qi implemented the policy of equality among all ethnic groups in the northwest. However, even though he knew this, he had to sing this sing, and even sang well. He didn't want the Yuan Qi new army to enter Shaanxi and Gansu to quell the rebellion.
Just as he was thinking, Zhang Jing, a small military machine who looked up, poked his head at the door, and immediately said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Zhangjing at the door hurriedly stepped in and bowed and said, "Report to the prince——, the call from the king of Zhennan." He said that, and quickly submitted a telegram.
After reading the telegram, Yi? I passed it to Sushun casually, and my mood became a little heavier. Yi Zhizu made suggestions in the telegram that all prefectures and counties in Shaanxi and Gansu implemented martial law and closely monitored local Hui people. All returning officers and soldiers in the army were isolated and tried their best to appease them. Zhangye must be strictly abide by it. If necessary, the railway can be demolished and the riots of Hui people can resolutely prevent the eastward advance of the riots.
The purpose of these measures is only one, to prevent large-scale outbreaks of chaos. He vaguely felt that things might be more serious than he thought.
Su Shun obviously realized this and pondered for a while before saying, "Prince Chun has no practical experience after all. If there is a chaos in Shaanxi and Gansu, it may be difficult to deal with it. I will send a telephone call to Yiguocheng and ask the monks to lead their troops to reinforce Shaanxi and Gansu."
Yi? nodded, this was a killing of two birds with one stone. He had long wanted Senggelinqin to return to Beijing. Without military power, he, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was not confident enough to speak.
Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Bookstore.
After reading the telegram sent by Yi?, Yi Zhizuo thought about it for a while before getting up and walking to the phone to pick up the phone and said, "Respond to the General Staff--."
Senggelinqin has been stationed in Japan, in an open manner to clear away the remaining fish that have escaped the net, but in fact, it does not want Senggelinqin to return to Beijing and have some troubles. At present, large-scale rebellion may break out in Shaanxi and Gansu. It is indeed more suitable to draw Senggelinqin's troops who have experienced large-scale killings in Japan to settle in Shaanxi and Gansu.
Besides, he was not at ease with Prince Chun. If he really wanted to allow the rebellion to spread, he would not be able to pass his own level. Moreover, for the current Qing Dynasty, the population is extremely precious. He could not tolerate large-scale population casualties. Although he was not sure that rebellion would spread, he did not dare to take risks and dared not be lucky.
"I am Yan Yangtian--." Yan Yangtian's clear voice came from the microphone.
"The telegram ordered Seng Gelinqin to lead his troops to 10,000 to Shaanxi and Gansu. The General Staff made corresponding arrangements, and the speed should be fast!"
When he heard it was Yishi's voice, Yan Yangtian quickly said loudly: "Student obeys the order!" He put down the phone and said to himself: "Can Shaanxi and Gansu still cause a big mess?"
In the east wing of Changle Bookstore, Zhao Liewen and Yi Zhengxing each held a book and quickly searched through it to find relevant information about the introduction of * religion into China, * teachings, and * religion in Shaanxi, Gansu, Northwest and Central Asia.
Yi Zhengxing studied in the West since childhood and was familiar with Christianity, but was very unfamiliar with Buddhism and the * religion. Zhao Liewen is from Jiangsu and has limited knowledge of the * religion.
After realizing that the * Church plays a crucial role in consolidating the entire Northwest, both of them seized the time to check the relevant information in case they were satisfied and consulted at any time.
"Students remember there is a mosque in Shanghai." Yi Zhengxing suddenly raised his head and said.
"Well, there is a Songjiang Zhenjiao Temple." Zhao Liewen said without raising his head: "It is said that it was built during the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty. The temple's buildings incorporate the characteristics of Arabic architecture, and some classics were borrowed from the Zhenjiao Temple." Only after he said this, he realized, "What he meant was to ask the imam of the temple directly."
Yi Zhengxing said: "Didn't it mean that the world is a family?"
"I want the shopkeeper to meet this imam?" Zhao Liewen shook his head, "I have come into contact with that person, and it is old-fashioned." At this point, his mind changed, "If the shopkeeper can go to Xi'an or Lanzhou to get in touch with the local imams or their religious leaders."
"No." Yi Zhengxing said without hesitation: "Xi'an and Lanzhou are not Yuanqi's chassis, it's too risky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slight knock on the door with a "tuk-tuk-tuk". Lin Meilian stood at the door with a smile on her face, "Mr. Zhao, the second young master, the shopkeeper is welcome."
After walking into the study quickly, Yi Zhizuo stood in front of the large northwest map with his hands on his back. Zhao Liewen whispered: "Big shopkeeper--."
Turning around, Yi Zhizu said: "The dispute between Shaanxi and Gansu and the Han Dynasty has been around for a long time. The Hui people's appointment system widely implemented by the imperial court is actually a disguised apartheid system, artificially creating confrontation between the Hui and Han Dynasty. The policy of protecting the Han Dynasty and suppressing the Hui Dynasty adopted by the imperial court has also deepened the confrontation between the Hui and Han Dynasty. In addition, immigrating to the northwest and only allowing Han people to immigrate, which also led to dissatisfaction among Hui people."
Speaking of this, he paused and then continued: "For this Hui chaos that may spread rapidly, military deterrence is not enough. It must also be guided from public opinion, so that the top leaders of the Islam and all Hui people can understand that if they dare to launch a large-scale riot and disrupt the local area, they will inevitably bring devastating blows!
Huifu wrote an article, and the court implemented constitutionalism and equality among all ethnic groups. In Xinjiang and Anxi, it has always been the policy of equality among all ethnic groups, implementing freedom of religious belief. All citizens have the freedom of religious belief and freedom of religion. They must not force others to believe in religion or convert to religion.
To strictly protect the lives and property of citizens, any act that damages and plunders other people's property and endangers the lives and safety of others will inevitably suffer the most severe blow. For the Constitutional country, there is no God, no God, and no Buddha. Only the law and the law are supreme. Anyone and any religion are equal before the law!”
After a pause, he continued: "I will write another article about the Suzhou Hui Rebellion, and truthfully report that the Hui people in Suzhou are killing innocent people indiscriminately."
After hearing this, Zhao Liewen hesitated for a while before saying, "Big shopkeeper, what is going on in Suzhou is not clear now."
Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "Someone in Zhangye should be clear about the situation in Suzhou, and call us to inquire."
Zhao Liewen is already familiar with this kind of article. He came over with the draft he wrote in less than two hours. After reading it carefully, Yi Zhizu pondered for a while before he pointed out the wrong places and said, "Change it well, and make it more moisturize it. Don't worry, just hand it over tomorrow."
Tomorrow? Zhao Liewen hesitated for a moment and said, "But the shopkeeper cannot be sure whether the chaos will spread?"
"Once this article is published in the newspaper, it will inevitably be a sensation in the government and the public, and its tone is a bit harsh, which is not conducive to appeaseing the Hui people." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The * religion has a great impact on all ethnic groups in the northwest, so it is better to be cautious." As he said that, he asked again: "Can there be any call for reply in the situation in Suzhou?"
"The detailed situation is still unknown." Zhao Liewen said: "The rioters destroyed the Telegram Bureau as soon as possible, and the railway was interrupted. There was no way to know the detailed situation. They only knew that the Hui people slaughtered Han people in the city."
Yi Zhizu said in a muffled voice: "Continue to ask."
Nodded, Zhao Liewencai said: "The imperial court decree that Prince Chun led an army of 20,000 to Xi'an. Will this news be reported?"
"No." Yi Zhizu shook his head, "Military operations have confidentiality systems, and generally they will not be reported."
The next afternoon, Yi Zhizu received a telegram from Ren An. The city of Suzhou was filled with blood. The rebel Hui people would kill them as long as they saw that they were not Hui people. Whether they were Han or other tribes, they would kill those in the city. After killing the people in the city, the Hui people who were red-eyed were killed in groups outside the city. At least tens of thousands of people had been killed!
"I'm red-eyed and I can't stop even if I want to stop." Yi Zhizu sighed lightly, looked at Zhao Liewen, and ordered: "After reading, let's also publish the news of the Eight Banners New Army heading to Shaanxi and Gansu."
The next day, Zhao Liewen wrote, signed by Mr. Changle and published it in newspapers of all provinces, and Lanzhou in Xi'an was also published in time. At the same time, it also published the imperial edict, ordering Prince Chun Yihuan to lead the 20,000 New Eight Banners Army to Gansu.
Suzhou is in chaos! Hui people massacred the city! As soon as the news spread, the government and the country were sensational and there were many discussions. Since the Taiping Army and the Nian Army were pacified one after another, the country has been peaceful for many years. Although wars have continued, except for the war invasion of the British and French coalition forces, the rest are wars of foreign expansion, and all foreign wars are victories in every battle. No one expected that when the national strength was prosperous, the Hui people in Gansu would cause large-scale rebellion.
The whole country immediately spontaneously launched a wave of opposing the Hui people. Many mosques in cities and nearby halal vendors were attacked and had to close their doors. Hui people were so scared that they hid at home and did not dare to go out. Fortunately, the local governments were afraid that the matter would be lost, so they dispatched yamen soldiers to maintain order.
