.

How do you serve, how thin you are so thin!" Zhao Gang's palace maid was so scared that he was out of control. He knelt down and kowtowed to mercy. "Your Majesty, please spare me." Zhao Gang ignored these palace maids and said coldly, "Take care for the queen." Then he said to an older palace maid:

"Call the Imperial Doctor over!"

He turned to look at Xiao Xiaoyan. All the cold light in his eyes turned into tenderness, and he comforted softly: "Don't worry that everything will be fine with me!" Xiao Xiaoyan's face also improved a lot. She slowly opened her eyes and wanted to speak, but was blocked by Zhao Gang very arrogantly. After experiencing the storm, she only saw that most of the palace maids were newcomers, and the facilities in the palace were old. She didn't understand what was going on in her heart, so why bother to let her wife say it exhausted.

In the Palace of Peaceful Heart, Her Majesty is discussing with all the important ministers about the riots in the northwest provinces. There are many Muslims in the northwest provinces, which have always been a headache for the court. If it is severe, it will arouse civil unrest. The tragic riots in Gansu and Shaanxi 50 years ago have also made some people who are persistent.

Home Secretary Yuan Xinglong first reported his thoughts:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Hui chaos is big, and it is not possible. Today's Hui chaos is also uncontrollable. 624, disputes between Weinan County and the Han Dynasty for some reason have arisen again. Hui people in Dali and Huazhou responded. In just a few days, the "Shannan and Weibei Forts were burned and killed" in Weinan County, and then they captured Gaoling, Huazhou and Huayin, surrounding the provincial capital Xi'an. Hui people in other prefectures also rose up and joined forces with Hui people in Gansu to besiege various Qing troops. In the same year, Shengbao, Duolonga led troops to Shaanxi to suppress them. By the end of 1864, all the Hui people in Fengxiang were destroyed. Most of the Hui people in Shaanxi were driven into Long by Duolonga.

At the end of 1866, the Nian Army entered Shaanxi. The war between the two banks of the Wei River began again. The Nianhui soldiers rushed north and south of the Wei River. During the trip, they had power spread across the three prefectures of Fengxiang, Xi'an and Tongzhou. It was not until the end of 1867 that the Nian Army had retreated to Longdong one after another. The war in Guanfu area was basically over, and wars in southern Shaanxi were also relatively frequent.

In the early 1862, the Taiping Army and the Sichuan Army entered Shaanxi. Then they occupied Hanzhong and Xing'an Prefectures. From then on to 1864, the Taiping Army automatically retreated, and the Sichuan Army was defeated and broke. The war in northern Shaanxi lasted relatively short, and the initial period was mainly bandit activities. In 1867, the Nian Army entered northern Shaanxi, and immediately crossed the river from Hukou to Jin under the siege of Qing army. After that, although the Hui army retreated to Gansu counterattacked several times, it was limited to Fengxiang, Guizhou and Yan'an Prefectures in the junction of Qin and Long. It had a small impact on the mainland.

From the Taiping Army entering Shaanxi in early 1862 to the end of 1867, the Nian Army crossed the river from Hukou. This war lasted for nearly 6 years. All the western provinces were not destroyed by the war. Since the national vendetta between the Hui and Han dynasties ran through the entire war, the population losses in the war were particularly astonishing. When the Hui people's giant castle Qiangbai Town was captured, "the old and weak women in the fort cried and slaughtered them all."

"The six village forts under Chang'an County are famous and rich, with more than 10,000 residents, and the refugees are attached to them. More than 1,000 people have added more than 1,000 mouths, thick walls and deep trenches, which can be used to defend... They were captured by the thieves, and all the forts were slaughtered." The area, the transition area, and the edge area are basically consistent. Based on this, we can divide the areas of population loss in Shaanxi during the war as follows:

The central area of ​​population loss: including Xi'an Prefecture and Tongzhou Prefecture. Both of these prefectures are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Jing, Luo and Wei River Basins of Guanzhong, and are the most economically developed areas in the province. Before the war, the two places were both Hui and Han areas with the most concentrated population distribution, and at the same time, the Hui and Han areas with the most acute conflicts. These two prefectures are both the war-initiating areas and the war-initiating areas. They have experienced the ravages of several wars before and after.

The Hui Muslim Uprising, the Taiping Army, the Sichuan Army, the Nian Army entered Shaanxi, the Qing Army's several encirclements and suppression, and Dong Zhiyuan's multiple counterattacks, etc. Almost every important battle involved this area. The duration of the war was consistent with the entire Shaanxi war. It lasted from the beginning of the Hui Muslim War in 1862 until the end of 1867, and lasted for nearly 6 years. Therefore, these two prefectures were the focus areas for repeated competition between the Hui and Han armies, and were most ravaged by the war and the population and land losses were the most serious.

Transition areas for population loss: Fengxiang, Hanzhong, Xing'an, and Shang, Gan and Gan. Some of these six prefectures have crossed several times, such as Shang, Gan and Gan, and Zhili Prefectures; some of them were occupied by rebels for a long time, such as Hanzhong Prefectures and Xing'an

The land was the focus of repeated struggles between the two armies, such as Fengxiang Palaces. During this period, there were wars between the Qing army, Taiping army and Sichuan army, so the wars were also quite frequent. After the war, the white bones were everywhere, and chickens and dogs were not heard of each other, which was nineteen. It can be said to be a tragedy on earth. Therefore, I believe that it is better to appease me. In this way, I will also benefit the people.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not possible. The people in the northwest are strong and have been the source of chaos since ancient times. Only by pursuing and eliminating the roots is the fundamental solution. If you just tolerate and raise traitors, then when these thieves become a climate, you will surely be in awe and will harm the 600 million people in our country. Therefore, I believe that if you raise a powerful brigade and directly enter Ganzhou and Shaanxi, you will quell the rebellion in less than half a year." The speaker was Song Bingce, who held a heavy army and had high power. These words were loud and loud, overwhelming the old Minister of Civil Affairs.

Yuan Xinglong was robbed by Song Bingce, and he was a little worried about his face and said with some anger: "What Lord Song said is bad, don't you know that the proportion of the population loss of Hui people is far higher than that of the Han people, and it almost reached the point of extinction of the race. Many prefectures and counties where Hui people lived before the war were missing, and there were no traces of Hui people after the war. For example, before the war, "Huazhou Township Chronicles" recorded that "there were Hui people in the state of the state... Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs came to Chang'an, which had lived in Shayuan, and had been in the state of the state for more than a thousand years, and had been in the state of Mansion". After the war, "the state of the state has no alien species" if it were not for violent handling, would you understand that big things are turned into small things and small things are turned into small things, how could there be rebellion again and again?"

Song Bingce sneered and said loudly:

"This is just to avoid the important things. You always say that the Hui people were killed. Do you just mention it gently when the Han people were slaughtered for 3 million? You should know that the tradition of Muslims is that the whole people are soldiers, and most of the Han people who were slaughtered are innocent civilians!

Even Zuo Zongtang, who was despised as "executioner" and "left butcher" by Hui people, was hesitant to kill? As long as he surrenders, he will all be properly placed? Can you not surrender and I can't beat you? Isn't that going to give birth to a caliphate? China is coming?

I know the thoughts of Hui people very much: if he kills your whole family, he will be fine. If you punch him, he will hate you for the rest of his life and pass on this hatred to future generations. His descendants hate you for generations. This may be the reason why the so-called Hui people's uprising was repeatedly hyped by them as a "blood and tears history". But on the land of Gansu and Shaanxi, the birthplace of Chinese civilization, who will the millions of Han people tell me? Please teach me Lord Yuan.”

Yuan Xinglong was speechless, and Song Bingce continued to see him, "The Hui people of the past carried out a crazy genocide on the Han people on both sides of Weinan. The total population here was only seven or eight million. More than five million were killed. What a scene of bloody wind? Lintong County was 260,000 in 1861. Lintong County Chronicles recorded 62--1869--300,000. No village or one person survived the disaster of burning and killing in the north and south of the Wei River. In other words, not only did the original population be killed, but all the new children born in the seven years were killed.

According to Fuping County Chronicles, in the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), there were 46,579 households and 2,257 people in the county. By the second year of Guangxu (186), there were 28,543 households and 12,002 people. The number of households and number of people were reduced by half. If we consider the new population after 186, it is estimated that Hui people killed 60% of Fuping County people in the seventh year of 1862-1869.

According to Sanyuan County Chronicles, in the 18th year of Xianfeng (1861), the population of Sanyuan County was 160,000. Due to the Hui Muslim Uprising and the two plagues and droughts during the Guangxu period, the population of Sanyuan dropped sharply to 40,000. During the two years of the Hui Muslim Uprising (1862-1863), "more than 500 old jurisdictions in the county were destroyed, and only the two castles of Caiwang were left in Dongli and the two castles of Caiwang"

Gaoling County, according to Lu Weidong's data, in 1861 before the Hui Muslim Uprising, the population of Gaoling County was 60,000. Gaoling County Chronicles recorded that "in the third year of Tongzhi (1864), the population in the county dropped sharply to 3,212." It decreased by 60 in two years.

Hui people killed six million people in Gansu, accounting for about everyone in the province.

"And now, the Hui people's riots have started again. If they do not suppress them strongly, they will have to wait until the Han people are in a river of blood to sigh? Why don't the people in Guanzhong have to endure such tragedy? Why do the audience and the people have to experience such tragedy? I am not talented. I am willing to raise a million powerful troops to sweep the entire northwest and benefit the people!"

After Song Bingce finished speaking, the hall was silent. Even the crown prince nodded slightly and agreed with Song Bingce's opinion. At this moment, a palace maid ran in from outside and said happily: "Great joy!"
Chapter completed!
