He slaughtered han Chinese in a frenzy and colluded with invaders to resist the Qing army, but is now called a hero
Bai Yanhu not only robbed Han villages, but also often killed Han compatriots. He repelled the Qing army many times, but it caused great damage to Shaanxi and Gansu, as long as the villages he passed through must be incomplete house tiles, incomplete families, and there is no evil in burning and looting. Such a man is now called a national hero.
In July 2010, a newspaper published an article titled "Bai Yanhu, the Hero who Never Returns", in which he was praised as the only last hero among the commanders of the Northwest Hui uprising who resolutely fought against anti-feudalism. Before Bai Yanhu died, he said: I miss my hometown very much, and if one day my hometown can be seen again, you must go to the West City Gate and knock on the city gate, I will hear it, and then I can go back to my hometown."
This is what a wanderer who was far away said to his descendants on the occasion of his farewell, which can be described as using true feelings and touching to the extreme. In Zheng Zheng's novel "Looking East to Chang'an", Bai Yanhu is compared to heroic figures like Huo Fuyi, Zuo Zongtang and Yue Fei, and Zheng Zheng has also received many medals for this novel. Zuo Zongtang, the first great man in five hundred years, successfully recovered Xinjiang and unified the Chinese mainland, so zuo Zongtang, the first great man, was well deserved. But what did Bai Yanhu, who was on par with Zuo Zongtang, do?
The Taiping Rebellion was by far the longest and largest movement of peasant unrest, with uprisings across the country and uprisings in the northwestern part of our country. Bai Yanhu opposed the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, that is, in the northwest, he became a hero of the nation. Soon after the uprising, Bai Yanhu was elected as the marshal of the Hui army, and under the leadership of Bai Yanhu, he defeated the Qing army many times.
In 1869, Bai Yanhu attacked Xi'an, engaged zuo Zongtang in a contest, and finally returned to Gansu after defeat. In 1874, Bai Yanhu was beaten to Xinjiang again, and joined forces with Agubai in Xinjiang, knowing that Agubai was known as the butcher of Central Asia, and behind him was the entire Tsarist Russia and the British Empire. Such an outsider who invaded China, Bai Yanhu actually chose to join forces with him, is this not like Wang Jingwei during the War of Resistance? Wang Jingwei was a traitor to the whole country, how could Bai Yanhu of the same nature become a hero!
Later, the "Gubai" group was successfully defeated by Zuo Zongtang and directly withdrew from China, after which Bai Yanhu lived in Russia until his death. How can such a person who has the blood of the Chinese people on his hands and still defects to the invaders has now become a "hero" of the nation, washing the Han villages in blood, killing more than 10,000 people directly counting from 100,000. Nowadays, Yue Fei and others are not only silent in textbooks, even rare in film and television dramas, but there is more such a "hero".
