The Cavalry Division, like the Guards Division, is one of the two powerful brigades stationed in Yask. However, unlike the Guards Division, where most of the soldiers are descendants of the Ming Guards of the newly attached Han Army, the Cavalry Division has three
The regiment has a total of 4,500 soldiers, with less than 600 Han soldiers, and the rest are soldiers of other ethnic groups. [ ] Therefore, when the "Hanization Leading Group" implemented Zhao Qiang's assimilation order, the army launched a three-month "assault"
"Strengthening" and a series of sinicization events, there was an immediate uproar within the cavalry division, with voices of dissent and dissatisfaction rising and falling. In the end, it turned out to be a force against sinicization. And the corresponding guards
However, Zhao Qiang's orders were thoroughly implemented from top to bottom. Soldiers of all ethnic groups also consciously invested in the movement of learning Chinese, recognizing Chinese characters, and changing their surnames to Chinese. Some soldiers even spontaneously publicized the benefits of accepting Chineseization to their families and tribesmen.
.For a time, the Guards Division became a typical example of the Sinicization movement. Some outstanding sergeants of various ethnic groups were often posted in various places in the form of red letter posters. This made it even more difficult for non-Han soldiers of the Guards Division to Sinicize.
Enthusiasm soared.
Just when everyone, including Zhao Qiang himself, was encouraged by the good situation of the Sinicization movement, the mutiny of the cavalry division was like a thunderbolt, which made him unbelievable and strengthened his determination to speed up the Sinicization of these Hu people.
Initially, those who were dissatisfied with the Sinicization were only more than a hundred Daur soldiers from the second team of the third battalion of the second regiment of the cavalry division. Later, two more teams of soldiers from the Sauron, Xibo, and Barhu tribes joined the resistance.
At that time, they connected with each other and adopted a series of measures they could take to passively resist Sinicization. Under the leadership of these soldiers, more and more soldiers of all ethnic groups began to waver in their belief in accepting Sinicization. They either stayed on the sidelines or directly
Join the opposition alliance.
At first, Qi Zhuang was dismissive of this force against Chineseization, because he had investigated and found that no officers were involved, only some dissatisfied soldiers. It was difficult for them to affect the overall situation, so he habitually used authority and orders
The officers of each department are ordered to cooperate with the Sinicization leading group, change their non-Han soldiers to Chinese surnames, organize them to recognize Chinese characters, and listen to the stories of Han sages. In short, they must cooperate with the members of the Sinicizing leading group who are working in the division. If there is any disobedience, they will be punished.
Military law was used to handle matters. Then when the forces against Sinicization suddenly broke out, Qi Zhuang realized that he had made a stupid mistake. His bureaucratic approach led to the eventual mutiny.
On March 18, about 600 non-Han soldiers from the cavalry division suddenly tied up all 32 Chinese-speaking members who were teaching, and wounded several officers who stopped them. Then they rushed out of the barracks and tried to enter the city to attack the generals.
The commander "asked for orders" and asked the Guan Ning army to respect their customs and allow them to maintain the independence and inheritance of the tribe. The cavalrymen who caused the trouble probably had sergeants who were familiar with Han people's allusions, and they actually shouted "Qing Jun Side", which they called "Qing Jun Side"
"It refers to the elimination of the Nanman villains around the commander, because it is these Nanman villains who encourage the commander to alienate his war-savvy subordinates, deprive them of their dignity, and make them feel cold. Of course everyone knows what they are referring to."
"Nanman villains" are those Han Chinese readers brought by the commander-in-chief from the pass.
After the incident happened, Qi Zhuang, who was attending a military meeting against the Qing Dynasty in the Marshal's Mansion, was shocked. Then in front of a group of officers, he was suddenly whipped severely by the Marshal.
"They must return to the military camp before Youshi, otherwise they will be killed!"
"The First Regiment of the Guards Division is on standby and ready to counter the rebellion!"
The furious Zhao Qiang gave Qi Zhuang a whip and coldly issued two orders. After hearing the order, He Manchuan immediately went to mobilize his troops to put down the rebellion.
"Commander, the commander-in-chief is responsible for causing this disaster. Please allow the commander-in-chief to deal with this matter!" Qi Zhuang was regretful and angry. The pain on his face told him that the commander-in-chief was very angry.
Zhao Qiang glared at the beloved general angrily: "I'll give you half a stick of incense. If the matter doesn't calm down, don't be a part of the ten thousand households."
"Yes, handsome!"
Qi Zhuang's heart trembled, he bowed and saluted, and ran out of the Marshal's Mansion without looking back.
"Send my military order, and all regiments must assemble quickly without causing trouble. Without my order, all units are not allowed to leave the camp gate!"
Now there are only a few hundred soldiers making trouble, which can be suppressed completely, but if the entire cavalry division is affected throughout the day, then with the strength of the Guards Division, it is difficult to say that the matter can be suppressed, so Qi Zhuang was the first to think
What is important is that the soldiers of various ethnic groups who are still in the camp cannot be involved.
…………
"Open the city gate quickly and let us in!"
"We have to ask for help from the commander-in-chief!"
"We are not rebelling, we want to oust the emperor. Please meet us, the commander-in-chief!"
""
In the east city of Yask, the city gate has been closed. More than 600 cavalrymen armed with various weapons are running frantically under the city gate. They have run around the city for a week, only to find that all the city gates are closed. They
The fundamental method is to enter the city.
The defense of the city of Yask is the responsibility of the Third Regiment of the Guards Division. Originally, it was impossible for the four gates to be closed so quickly, because the hundreds of households on duty today did not know about the mutiny of the Cavalry Division, so as long as these
The troublemaking cavalry rushed into the city as soon as they broke out of the barracks, and the defenders did not even have time to react. Unfortunately, these troublemaking soldiers thought that the highest one was just a small Daur flag, and they came from different regiments.
They didn't belong to each other, they just started acting impulsively out of a moment of anger and public outcry, without anyone planning it in advance. After they rushed out of the barracks, they started arguing over which gate to enter the city through, and then they finally reached a consensus.
When they arrived at the city gate, the Guards Division guarding the city had already known what must have happened from the fire and noise in the distance. The hundred households on duty ordered the four gates to be closed tightly without saying a word, and then quickly sent people to report to the city.
Handsome report.
The soldiers who caused the trouble were just unwilling to accept Chinese culture, but they did not really want to rebel. Therefore, they only shouted at the city gate from beginning to end, and did not destroy or rob everywhere. This made Qi Zhuang breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as nothing big happens, this matter can be suppressed.
"Open the door!"
After hearing Qi Zhuang's order to open the door, hundreds of households at the city gate hurriedly shouted: "Master Wanhu, there are rebels outside, so you can't open the door. Once the door is opened, they will rush in! The last general is responsible for defending the city, so you don't dare to take risks.
Open the door, please forgive me!"
"They are not rebels, they are members of our cavalry division. You can just open the door. If anything happens, all households will be responsible for it!"
The household was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to open the city gate. As he was hesitating, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "The commander-in-chief has ordered, open the city gate!"
