"Wind Lao Tzu" and "Batang Incident"
If we want to talk about Zhao Erfeng's management of Chuanbian, it is inevitable to first talk about the "Batang Incident." On the first day of the third lunar month of the 31st lunar calendar of Guangxu, Feng Quan, the deputy minister stationed in Tibet, was ambushed and killed in the batang parrot mouth area on the side of the river, which is known in history as the "Batang Incident". In the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it was the first time that a minister like this had been killed. When the news came, the government and the public were shocked.

This Phoenix Full Character Mo Tang, Manchurian Yellow Banner People, in the identity of the people to accept the capital as a county order, Shichuan for more than twenty years, from the Quan Zhi Kai County to start, to achieve the Qin cha master, all rely on the means of cool officials. He likes to brag about his political experience the most: "playing the board, cutting the brain shell" two magic weapons. Under his rule, countless people were killed, even if they were committed by the rich and powerful, they were all severely punished. He was a tough and arrogant person, and when he opened his mouth, he called himself "Feng Laozi", and his subordinates were: "Dog Slave Cai", and when he discussed things with his superiors, he did not agree with his words, so he damaged his yarn hat to the ground and shouted: "You ask Feng Laozi to go home!" Cen Chunxuan Shuai Shu, severe punishment, self-comparison Zhuge Ge. He took a fancy to his "strong order", repeatedly sponsored him, moved from Quan Zhi Jiading Province to Mianlong Mao Dao, and became a "cadre" named by the imperial court.
In the late Qing Dynasty, internal affairs were not repaired, and foreign insults were repeated, and British imperialism took the opportunity to send troops to Tibet. At that time, the minister stationed in Tibet was Youtai, a cowardly bureaucrat, who sat idly by and watched the defeat of the Tibetan army and did not send a single soldier or a bullet to support him. After the British army invaded Lhasa, he wagged his tail and begged for mercy, signed the "Anglo-Tibetan Lhasa Treaty" that humiliated the country, and the upper ruling clique in Tibet headed by the Dalai Lama felt that the Qing court was incompetent and insufficient to rely on. In order to ensure the rule of their own religious serfs, they changed from hating The Ying to the pro-British. In addition to cutting off the supply of grain and grain to the great giant Ulla stationed in Tibet, it also instigated and instigated the Tibetan people in Sichuan to make trouble.
When the Qing court saw that the situation had seriously spread to Chuanbian, it sent Zhang Yintang, who was known for his "diplomatic ability," to Tibet to re-sign the treaty as minister of Chincha, and removed Youtai from his post to investigate and handle it, and also appointed Lianyu as the minister stationed in Tibet. In order to control the riverside and respond to Tibet, Feng Quan was also used as the deputy governor of Erpin and the deputy governor in Tibet, stationed in Jiechamuduo (Qamdo).
Feng Quan has always been self-conscious, and now he has become a feudal leader who is alone, and he is even more proud and indispensable. He did not think at all about the complicated and complicated situation he was about to face and the crises that might arise, let alone how to properly handle sino-Tibetan ethnic relations, unite local toastmasters, leaders, and lama forces to stabilize the riverside, support Tibet, and deal with the aggression and expansion of the British Empire. He thought that he only needed to move out of the brutal suppression and blind rape in the interior, and by hitting the board and cutting off the brain shell, he could threaten the side of the river. The entourage took only one hundred policemen to the archery furnace (Kangding), and because of the recruitment of two hundred soldiers, fifty police officers were left to be trained. He led fifty policemen and took up his post in a green sedan car. Some people persuaded him that "the Tibetans are fierce, and the number of soldiers is not enough to deter them", and he said something without shame: "Ban Dingyuan runs four domains, and only fifty horses follow him. Deal with a few Tibetans, why use more soldiers!"
On the way to Batang, Luo Jinbao, the local toast camp official, and Luo Songzhaba, the second camp officer, led all the toasts and leaders to greet them. Feng Quan sat in the palanquin, and when the toastmaster and the head man knelt and prostrated their heads, he actually tapped the head of the camp officer with a dry cigarette pole in his hand and reprimanded: "You dog slaves!" Don't be obedient, we wind lao tzu told you that the top of the ghee is not long!" You think that these toastmasters and heads are all local emperors who are accustomed to being mighty and blessed, and how can they bear this evil breath in the public! Therefore, one by one, Feng Quan hated it to the bone. Fengquan saw that Batang has a mild climate, rich products, and relatively flat terrain. He did not want to go to Tsamdo, but undertook the pretext of surveying and reclamation, and settled down in Batang. In order to show his "thousand members" means, he also announced the so-called three major plans for the governance of Kawabe:
The first major plan: "Recover Zhan's right to consolidate the barrier", the so-called Zhan's right, that is, the current territory of Ganzi Prefecture is about 10,000 square kilometers, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Chuanbian. During the Tongzhi period, the local toasts rebelled, and the Qing court went all out to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution, and the 12th Dalai Lama sent troops to negotiate with the 12th Dalai Lama, and it was used as a treasure. As soon as he proposed this plan, it caused panic among the Tibetan authorities, who secretly sent people to Batang to incite local toastmasters and leaders to make trouble. Originally, although these toastmasters and leaders hated Fengquan, they were still a little afraid of the Qing court, so they did not dare to do anything. Now, seeing the support of the Tibetan side, he is determined to take revenge.
The second plan: "Restrict lamas and strictly prohibit nail sticks." He saw that the major lama monasteries on the river side were powerful, and they were even above the toast, and along the way, the armor sticks (bandits) were rampant, robberies were frequent, and most of them were lamas' shelter envoys. It was proposed that according to the second year of Yongzheng, the number of lamas in each monastery should not exceed three hundred. Because the major monasteries at that time, such as Ding Lin and Sang Phi, had more than thousands of lamas, he also strictly ordered: All lamas who are under the age of thirteen should return to the law; For twenty years, shaving is suspended. At the same time, he also ordered the arrow furnace to know that Liu Tingshu Huoyuan led his troops to attack the armor stick and kill them all. The lamas of the monasteries in Kawabe are known as Tibetans to worship, and Fengquan disregards local customs and beliefs and blindly acts recklessly. As soon as this plan was announced, it was like stabbing a honeycomb, causing strong resistance from the local monasteries and lamas with great power.

The third major plan is: "expand reclamation and set up gold mines." Fengquan, with its mild climate and fertile land, proposed to reclaim the land on the spot to reduce the labor of feeding and transportation, and sent personnel to survey the enclosure. These places are all the territory of toastmasters, heads, and lamas, and how to allow the feng to occupy it. At that time, the Khenpo (abbot) of Dinglin Monastery came forward to oppose it, saying: "Except for the pasture where cattle and horses are grazed, there is no barren mountain wasteland here, and the feng shui of the sacred mountain must not be moved!" And because the Taining River is rich in gold sand, all gold miners must pay three-tenths of the gold tax to the Lama of Taining Temple. Feng Quan was greedy and sent people to recruit workers to open a factory, which directly infringed on the interests of the lama.
Although Feng Quan's time in Batang was not long, he insisted on going his own way, intensifying contradictions, and pushing the three major forces to his opposite side. Therefore, the local soil, the head, and the lama regard him as a thorn in his back, and he will want to pull him out quickly. Therefore, the officials of the Great and Second Battalions came forward and convened a meeting of the Sanqu Sect to conspire to get rid of Fengquan, and they also knew that this Fengquan was a minister of Yanqincha, and if he was killed in Batang, the imperial court would inquire in the future and could not prevaricate. Moreover, the Chincha Line's inspection wall is strong, and the guards' foreign guns are strong, and they are not easy to get. He planned to first force the wind out of Batang, and then set up an ambush on the road to kill it, so as to put the responsibility on the armor stick and the bandits.

In addition to the fifty policemen brought by FengQuan, the Batang Qing army also had hundreds of green battalions under the jurisdiction of the Capital Division. In order to disperse the Qing forces, the officers of the large battalion colluded with the armour and instigated the Tibetans to first take the reclamation field and the gold mine to open the knife, looted both places, and destroyed all the houses. Then set up an ambush near the Taining River. When Feng Quan heard the news, he was furious and strictly ordered Lu Mingyang to lead the Green Battalion to investigate and deal with them in two places. Lu went to the reclamation field, pounced, and searched for the Taining River gold mine. Unexpectedly, it was ambushed halfway through the road, and the entire army was destroyed. Lu Mingyang is known for his bravery, and he was caught and dug his eyes and heart! Poor at this time, Feng Quan was still in his eyes doing a good news to fly to the United States, at this time, the Batang Qing army was only left with eighty people in the Green Battalion led by Dusi Wu Yizhong and fifty police soldiers of the Fengquan Guards, so the officers of the big battalion instructed jia sticks and lamas to besiege Qin Cha Xingyuan. In order to increase the momentum, they also sent people to spread the word: Chincha xing camp opened a warehouse to help, and those who saw it had a share. A large number of Tibetans were lured into coming to Batang to beg for rewards. Several of his grandfathers also knew that the Tibetan people were afraid of the government, especially the great master Chincha as a god, so he sent his cronies to the four downstreams to say that the red bearded drinking difference (Fengquan Hu Huangzhong red) and the guards he led were all foreigners pretending! And there is a well-founded analysis that the soldiers led by Chincha over the years have all worn trumpets and battle skirts and blown trumpets. This return is wearing a foreign devil's short suit, wearing a large plate hat, playing a foreign drum, blowing a foreign trumpet, performing a foreign ceremony, and playing a foreign exercise! He also said that after the official servants of the big camp saw Chincha take off his hat with his own eyes, he was a bald-headed foreign monk, and even the braids on his head were fake! The lama of Dinglin Monastery also pretended to be a god and a ghost, saying that the living Buddha had sent down the will, and the foreign devils came here to desecrate the gods and defile the heavens and the earth, and soon there would be hundreds of diseases and droughts. At once, the crowd was full of emotions, and on the spot, they burned down the French Tianli Church in Batang, and then rushed to the Chincha camp to fire guns and throw stones in demonstration.

When Dusi Wu Yizhong heard that Chincha was besieged, he hurriedly led eighty soldiers of the Green Battalion to escort him. Only to see that the street is full of people, where to pass! In the present conflict, in hand-to-hand combat, they are killed. Feng Quanping was arrogant and arrogant, and he could not be a fool, but who knew that he was a big straw bag with a strong inner cui, and he could not withstand the hard battle against the Tibetans who came from all over the earth, and he had no idea. That night, he climbed the village tower to look out, but he saw that the mountains were full of wild bonfires, and the songs of Da Dan yi were sung all night long, which frightened him and frightened him, and he could only lie in the cover and shed tears.
Early the next morning, the officer of the big camp came to see him in a hurry, pretending to say that the Tibetans were fierce, that they had no way to suppress themselves, and that they were shocked, and that they were really damned! Then he persuaded Feng Quan to say that the matter had reached this point, it was better to have the right to avoid it, and guaranteed that he would be responsible for persuading the Tibetans to give way, prepare for Ula, and send Feng Quan back to Litang. Although Feng Quan knew that he was causing trouble, fang inches were already chaotic, and he couldn't come up with any way to do it, so he had to agree to lead the team back to Litang. At the same time, he secretly felt fierce in his heart: "Let's go back and invite the soldiers, we will kill these fans to solve today's hatred!"
It was not until the afternoon that the camp officer spoke back and forth, saying that everything was ready and asked the Lord of the Wind to take off. So Feng Quan took the entourage of officials and fifty guards, and left Batang surrounded by Tibetan soldiers led by the officers of the big camp and set off for the return.
Panorama of the Tusiguan Village of WaSi Temple
Because Feng Quan set up the Chincha Camp in the Grain Reclamation Bureau, Wu Xizhen, a member of the Batang Grain Reclamation Committee, lived in Sai Nei, another toast called Yeba Arden. When the Tibetans began to riot, Arden advised Wu: "Now it is very chaotic outside, and the streets are full of troublemakers, so don't go out!" The next day, he told Wu again: "Lord Feng is going to leave for the country today. You'd better hide from me, but you'll be fine. Wu Xizhen heard that the wind was all leaving, and thought that he was left alone here, and the danger was too great. Therefore, when he saw from the window that Feng Quan and his party were passing outside the Aden Village of Yeba, he slipped out, stopped Feng Quan's palanquin, wept bitterly and advised him not to go to the country, and said that Zang Fan had a backtest in his heart, and it was difficult to predict that this trip would be unpredictable. At this time, Feng Quan was already involuntary, and could only punch the fat man in the face and say, "These fans do not know the reason, and they are in trouble with this minister, and I have sent an order to the camp officers to appease their people and exempt them from punishment." You have the right to stay, and when I return to Litang, I will be the district. As soon as Wu heard this, he said that he would go with the wind. Feng Quan thought to himself, there is no official left here, if the imperial court knows, don't you blame me for fleeing from my duties! So he excused wu's untidy clothes and not even his official hat, and told him to go back and dress neatly.
When Wu Xizhen went back to put on the official hat and pulled it out to see, the Fengquan Brigade had already walked out of the old distance. Turning around, he saw a mule outside the Arden Village of Yeba, so he jumped up to catch up with The Wind Quan. I don't want the mule to cheat, just whirling around in the same place, refusing to move forward. Wu Xizhen jerked violently with a whip, and the mule jumped up in the air, throwing Wu to the ground, bruising his left leg, unable to hurry, and still hiding in Arden's house. In the Batang incident, all the Han officials, he was the only one who escaped with his life!
However, it was said that Feng Quan and his party left Batang and walked for about twenty miles to a place called Parrot Mouth. Because it was not early, they stationed themselves. The guards sent by the officers of the battalion had already fled along the way. The other side ambushed the armor sticks and lamas, and the Tibetan soldiers took advantage of the cover of night and touched them from all sides. At this time, the patrol sentries sent by the Wind All Guards happened to encounter the Tibetan soldiers attacking from the direction of Batang, and the guards turned around and ran, losing their clothes. The Tibetan soldiers did not come after them in order to compete for a few silver dollars in the folds. The guard went back, did not report to the captain, but privately asked a few of his companions to rush to grab the clothes. When the Tibetan soldiers saw it, they shouted, "Come here!" Then there was a fight. The captain of the guard saw that the situation was critical in the darkness, so he divided half of his troops and blocked the attack on the spot, so that the other half escorted Feng Quan to flee in the direction of Litang. Ridiculous Feng Quan at this time, on the verge of death, still has to sit in the car! Tibetans swarmed from all directions, dragging the wind out of the palanquin and hacking them to death. The accompanying officials and more than fifty members of the guard were not spared.

After the incident, the Qing court strictly ordered the Governor of Sichuan, Xi Liang, to march into the army to suppress the office. Xi Liang received the order, and on the one hand, he sent the Sichuan admiral Ma Weiqi to lead the five battalions of the patrol army to attack quickly; On the one hand, Zhao Erfengchi of Jianchang Province, who is known as a "butcher", was sent to investigate and handle this matter. Thus the protagonist of our dragon gate array appears.
This Zhao Erfeng was transcribed and was promoted by his brother Zhao Erxun to become a Sanpin Daoist. His ancestral home is Penglai, Shandong, and his ancestors were descended from the late Ming Dynasty with Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong across the sea to qing, and "from the dragon" was the banner of the Han army. His figure is the so-called "three-shift tall", that is, the upper body is long, the lower body is short, sitting on the hall like a tall and long man, standing on a flat place but appearing short. The long beard of eight characters with a bent mouth is full of Sichuan dialect, and the plain smile is full of smiles, not like a murderous demon king. Only one pair of eyes is shining brightly, and occasionally showing a fierce light. He and Feng Quan were both bannermen, the same Daotai, the same cool official named "cadre" of the Qing court, and both known for their strengths and rigidity. However, the change of opportunity and deception is far above Feng quan.
Zhao Erfeng
When he was first appointed to Yongning Dao, because the lower-level people's organization "Dragon Society" in Gulin County was fighting with the gentry and the regimental protection organization "Chenghui", he actually heard that "the Dragon Society bandits gathered to rebel", and led the troops to suppress it and kill them in a big way. In Miaogou and other places, people are killed when they see them, and the first level of meritorious service alone reaches more than three thousand! At that time, Gu Lin was sparsely populated, and the people of Jiugou and Eighteen Villages were almost killed by him. Because he exaggerated the so-called "banditry" in advance, in order to make up enough numbers, he also beheaded and reported all the prisoners in the original prison! In this way, he earned a "butcher" title. Until the Republic of China era, the locals frightened children and only had to say: "Zhao Daotai is coming!" The child did not dare to cry.
Afterwards, he won the appreciation of the imperial court with the great victory of "suppressing bandits" and gave him the title of "Wuyong Batulu". In order to suppress the Yi people around Liangshan, he was transferred to Jianchang Province. At this time, the "Batang Incident" occurred, and the imperial court, because of his "suppression of bandits", specially ordered him to go to investigate and deal with it. So he set off from Leshan, led three battalions of patrols, two hundred guards, and a large number of retinues to kill Ben Batang.
However, he said that on the Side of Batang, the second battalion officer and the Lama of Dinglin Monastery had been a little frightened in their hearts since they had killed Feng Quan, so they jointly handed a public gift to Liu Tingshu, who knew that liu Tingshu, the same as the arrow furnace. Saying that the wind has reached this point, all kinds of lawlessness have provoked the Tibetan people and killed them; His own defense is not effective, he has made a big mistake, and he begs grace to do it well. He also threatened that if the imperial court wanted to send soldiers to ask for the guilt, the people would issue a curse to Li Zhi, to remove the station to which Batang belonged, and to report everything in the official documents, even if they were killed. Now, hearing that the imperial court had sent a large army to attack, they mobilized thousands of Tibetan soldiers, lamas, and armor sticks, drank blood and wine, swore an oath, killed the white horse sacrifice flag, and drove to the most dangerous bengchamu fifty miles away from Batang to set up an ambush to resist the battle.
Ma Weiqi, the viceroy of Sichuan, was a hui from Yunnan, and was promoted to viceroy with military merit in the War of Resistance Against France. As a brave and good warrior, he led five battalions of the army to Batang after receiving the instructions. The army marched to Bengchamu, where it encountered the ambushing Tibetan army and engaged in a fierce battle. Although it was suddenly ambushed, Ma Weiqi was not in danger, and the commander's army counterattacked. On the part of the officers and soldiers, they are well armed and well trained, but in unfavorable terrain; On the side of the Tibetan army, there were many people and many people, and they stubbornly resisted by virtue of their favorable terrain. As a result, the fighting was very fierce, and at one point the officers and soldiers were shaken. Ma Weiqi saw that the situation was not good, danced with a large ring machete in his hand, led his soldiers to rush up bravely, and shouted in his mouth: "Surname babies! Drum up, it's almost a bit of a fire!" The morale of the officers and men was greatly boosted, and they pounced on it. The Tibetan army was completely defeated.
After the Lama of Dinglin Monastery preemptively escaped the Bachu River, in order to block the pursuit of the soldiers, he blew up the large wooden bridge on the river. The Tibetan soldiers who fled from behind drowned in water and drowned countless people. The officers of the largest and second battalions were killed in the rebellion. Ma Weiqi took advantage of the victory to cover up and chased him all the way to the Dinglin Temple, where there was no one there, so he looted the treasures in the temple and then burned them. When he led his troops into Batang, at this time, the Tibetans in the city had already fled to the battlefield, although there were some ways to fight, but they were helpless to deal with this situation. Just at this time, Zhao Erfeng arrived, so he divided half of his troops with him and led the team back to Sichuan.
As soon as Zhao Erfeng arrived in Batang, he sent someone to investigate the incident: it was planned by the officials of the second battalion and the Lama of Dinglin Monastery to kill Feng Quan; The lama who shot the hand and the stick were all members of the Seven Villages Ditch. Now that the second battalion officer was dead and the Dinglin Temple was empty, he decided to repeat the old trick of killing people in Gulin and wash the Seven Villages Ditch in blood to close the case.
The so-called Seven Villages Ditch is seven small villages on both sides of the Bachu River, with a total of only 200 to 300 households zhao Erfeng arrived, and the villagers have long fled. Zhao Erfeng sent people out to scatter the wind and said, "Lord Ben has come here only to appease the people." From now on, he will be a bandit in the mountains and a good citizen in the village. Whoever obeys the order to return to the village shall be rewarded with tea, salt, and cloth. Lord Ben will follow the law and will never renege on his word!"
The fleeing Tibetans were not at ease at home, and when they heard that not only would they be fine when they went back, but they could also receive rewards, so the villages went back one after another to watch the wind and colors. Zhao Erfeng had already garrisoned a sentry in each village, and when he saw that the number of people returning was almost the same, he secretly ordered all the villages to act in unison, and asked each Tibetan household to march to the front door of a large courtyard to receive the reward. After receiving the reward, when Ding Zhuang withdrew through the back door, he was killed one by one by the ambush Qing soldiers, and then took the prize back to continue to distribute. The Tibetans in the back of the line were unaware that they had been killed by the Qing army and more than fifty people. Then he went to the Qing court and said: "Seven villages won a great victory, dozens of beheadings, and none of the officers and soldiers suffered casualties." You think that Ma Weiqi is known as a general, and in the battle of Beng chamu, hundreds of casualties were inflicted, and now Zhao Erfeng has "flattened" seven villages, and there have not been any casualties! When the Qing court heard about the report, it naturally thought that he was indeed capable, and in addition to the special commendation, he was promoted to "Minister of Border Affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan" and devoted himself to supervising Sichuan border affairs.
The War Department sent a messenger to hand over the official letter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Minister of Border Affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan
In this way, Zhao Erfeng ascended to the heavens step by step from the Sanpin Daotai and became the minister of feudalism alone. In order to repay the imperial court, he was ready to show his skills again and make some colors for the Tibetans to see. I was thinking about who to take to cut, and overheard the report from my hands, and the sangpi monastery in the township town took in the dead lamas of Dinglin Temple, and gathered the crowd to rebel! He immediately personally led the five battalions of troops to attack.
This Sangpi Monastery is the largest temple in the township, and the power of the lama is the crown of Kawabe. The Khenpo (abbot) puzong zhawa of the temple was arbitrary and self-indulgent, and he was accustomed to obeying the Dalai Lama, and he also sent people to show his support during the "Batang Incident". Now when he saw the Lama of Dinglin Monastery running away and coming to surrender, crying about the robbery and burning of Dinglin Temple, he couldn't help but be angry. He colluded with the local toastmaster, the head man, and the armor stick to strengthen the wall, and built six stone forts in the corner of the wall, stockpiling a large amount of ammunition, grain, ghee and other materials, and then expelling the Han officials and launching a rebellion. Hearing that Zhao Erfeng's army was coming to attack, he dismissed the old and weak, and the rest of the people retreated to the temple to hold on.
Zhao Erfeng's soldiers arrived and surrounded the Sangpi Temple. Seeing that the opposing temple wall was strong and well defended, he set up four cannons and fired cannons to bombard the wall. I don't want the temple wall to be made of granite strips of stone and rammed with clay, which is more than a foot thick and very strong. After the two hundred shells carried by the army were finished, only some dirt ash was blasted down! Zhao Erfeng saw that he could not do it, so he sent his subordinates to guerrilla Shi Wenming to persuade him to surrender. It is said that as long as the fugitive lamas of Dinglin Monastery are handed over, the two sides will reconcile and strike, and the past events will not be investigated. Shi Wenming shouted loudly, came to the temple wall, and was hoisted into the temple by the other party with a basket. Seeing Puzong Zhawa, he explained Zhao's meaning again. Puzong Zhawa smiled and said, "You Lord Zhao's foreign guns and cannons are very powerful, although you come to attack, and you say that these unambitious words are even worse!" His face changed, and he ordered his men to take Shi down, drag him to the temple wall, cut the skin alive in front of Zhao Erfeng, and then fill it with straw and hang it on the flagpole for public display.
Green training scene
Listening to Shi Guerrilla's screams from Gangpi, Zhao Erfeng jumped like a thunderbolt and ordered his men to attack. Although the lama in the temple used an open musket, his marksmanship was very good, and each gunman was equipped with three guns, and two others loaded ammunition for him. When Zhao Bing approached, all the guns were fired in unison. Zhao Bing suffered heavy casualties and still could not walk near the temple wall. The Tibetans also have an indigenous weapon called the "Russian Pocket", which is tied with a double-fold yak leather belt. Put the fist of the large pebble at one end, hold the other end of the dance like a flywheel, suddenly shake, the pebbles fly out of the momentum, a hundred steps away to hit people, every shot. Zhao Bing's head was broken and bleeding.
Samphi Temple
Zhao Erfeng attacked fiercely for three days, suffering heavy casualties and making no progress. He changed tactics and brought in a team of sappers, intending to dig tunnels, lead directly to the temple wall, and then lay gunpowder to blow the wall open. Who knew that this Sang Phi Temple was built on a granite body, and it was impossible to excavate at all, so it had to be abandoned. Some people also offered a plan, the penetration of open muskets and pebbles is small, it is better to make the soldiers form a wall digging team, holding a thick shield in one hand and a pickaxe in the other, and digging a hole near the temple wall under the cover of fire. Zhao Yi was overjoyed when he heard it and followed the plan. Who knew that the temple would pour down the boiling butter, burning Zhao Bing's face full of blood, howling and fleeing. Failed again. Zhao Erfeng had no choice but to besiege the Sangpi Temple, intending to trap the other side to death and starve to death. However, he did not know that the grain in this temple could be eaten for more than three years and lasted for more than two months, and Zhao Erfeng's teachers worked hard to no avail, and his morale was greatly depressed. Because of the difficulty of long-distance transportation, they did not trap each other, and they saw that they were running out of food and were going to be hungry! He also understood that if he stopped the army at this point, his prestige would be destroyed, and he would not want to gain a foothold in the river in the future. In a dilemma, I had to die hard.
Sampi Monastery and its monks
Fortunately, at this time, a master who remained in Batang came to offer advice, this person's surname was Wu Mingmata, a Yunnan person, who was currently in the position of inspector. He said to Zhao Erfeng, "Lord! This Sangpi Temple is strongly defended and has many reserves, which can last for several years, and it is not the best strategy to attack hard and besiege. But if this temple is built on a rock, there will be no water source in it, and if it can cut off its waterway, it can be broken without attacking, and it will be harvested!" A word woke Zhao up, and he immediately sent people out to investigate, shorting several streams behind the mountain to other places. After a few days, the temple defense still showed no signs of lack of water. After many inquiries, it was only from the local natives that the water source in the temple depended on an undercurrent under the rock, but no one knew where its source was. Again, wu Yu offered advice, and found a group of Han gold diggers, promised a heavy reward, and ordered them to go to the water source. But these gold diggers have a copy that only listens to, and can detect the ins and outs of the underground undercurrent.
A few days later, they found a spring in a large cave on the back of the mountain, which was not under the rock. Listening to the sound of its water, it seemed to flow in the direction of Sangphi Temple, so he blocked the spring. That night, he heard a riot in the temple, and saw Tibetans put pots and bowls on the roof, hoping to receive rain and snow. I knew that this move had worked.
It was the middle of winter, there was no rain or snow for a long time, and after two days, the temple had reached the point of quenching its thirst by drinking and pooping. Unable to do so, he sent someone to sneak out to Daocheng for help. The person who did not want to send the letter was caught by Zhao Bing, searched for a secret letter, and asked someone to translate it, but it was written: "Sangpi is a holy place that my Tibetan monks and laymen worship, and now it has been besieged for a long time that was never expected, the water source has been cut off, and the situation is precarious, please look at the face of the living Buddha, and quickly send troops to the rescue."
Zhao Erfeng was convinced, calculated the plan, calculated the time, sent his men disguised as Daocheng reinforcements, set fire to the back of the mountain one night, and shouted in Tibetan: "The Daocheng reinforcements have arrived!" When the temple heard the news, he dug up the earth and stones blocking the temple gate, poured out of the nest, and rushed to the place where the fire was shining. Not far from the charge, the officers and men who were ambushed in the shadows fired with dense fast guns, and except for a few who escaped, most of them were annihilated. Puzong Zawa saw that it was not a problem, and still wanted to return to the temple to hold on, but the officers and soldiers had already swarmed in, and in a hurry, they raised their guns and killed themselves. The Temple of Sangpi was breached.
At that time, Zhao Bing was also in a difficult situation, he had already eaten all the grain, and he was fed by boiling cowhide bags that transported grain and rice. Zhao Erfeng's military orders were extremely strict, and in order to prevent a sudden attack on the temple, the ambush soldiers in the trenches were not allowed to sleep day and night. If anyone falls asleep, they will be punished by military law, so the soldiers are tired. On the night of the attack on Sangphi Temple, a sentry fled with a gun. Not far away, I saw the fire soaring into the sky, the guns firing in unison, and I knew that the temple had been breached. Hurriedly rushing back to start a fight, just in time to meet a small number of Tibetan soldiers who rushed out of the creek to drink water, they shot indiscriminately and killed them all. Afterwards, the sentry officer saw Zhao Erfeng, but he took the opportunity to set up an ambush and was confused by the ghostly words of the whole escape. Zhao saw that there were so many heads that they were numbed and greatly rewarded them.
At that point, more than 600 monks and laymen in the temple were armed, and all of them were annihilated. All possessions were looted. The Battle of the Township, which lasted for three months, came to an end. This was the most difficult time for Zhao Erfeng to use troops in the river. The following year, at the Chengdu Qingyang Palace Flower Fair, Zhao Erfeng, in order to show off his martial arts, displayed many stolen gold and silver utensils, saying that they were "things that were surrendered in the countryside and cities." ”
The destruction of Sangpi Temple caused great shock to the Tibetans in Kawabe, who in their eyes were a rock-solid holy place that could not be breached. Therefore, they all felt that this Zhao Lord was really powerful, so they all expressed their surrender, and even the Tibetan officials who had always been unruly and were ordered by Lhasa sent people to pay money and lose sincerity. I didn't want to jump out of a three-rock head man, sent a high-foot battle book, and said: "I heard that Lord Zhao is strong and strong, and there are not many people in our three-rock place, only a little bit of a (one liter) round root radish seed, welcome to come and compete!" Zhao Erfeng was furious when he received the letter and was preparing to lead his troops to a crusade. At this time, Xi Liang was transferred to the governorship of Yunnan, and Zhao Erfeng was urgently announced that Zhao Erfeng would return to the province in the name of "Minister of Chuanbian". Zhao Erfeng also received a letter from his brother, saying that the imperial court had succeeded Erfeng as the governor of Sichuan. He couldn't care about the matter of the Three Rock Heads, and Xingchong rushed back to the provincial capital to receive the seal.

However, he said that Zhao Erfeng had dreamed of becoming a governor all the way and returned to Chengdu. Unexpectedly, things changed again, and the imperial court originally meant that he should take over as the governor of Sichuan, but because the newly replaced minister in Tibet, Lian Xiang, was still a cowardly and incompetent person, the Tibetan bureau became more and more obedient, and relations with the Dalai Lama were also deadlocked, so they reassigned Zhao Erfeng as the minister stationed in Tibet and the minister of border affairs in Sichuan and Yunnan. In order to make things easy for him and have no worries, the special general Zhao Erxun was changed from general Fengtian to governor of Sichuan. So that his brothers could join forces to manage Sichuan and Tibet for the imperial court, zhao Erfeng went out of The Town river for the second time, and was ready to go to Tibet to take over.
Na Lianyu was very dissatisfied when he heard that Chaoyan had sent Zhao Erfeng to replace him. He used his own naizi xi favor to send people to Beijing to do some activities. On the one hand, it was spread among tibetans: Zhao Erfeng is a famous butcher, the means are very vicious, the seven villages, Tu Sangpi is an example, if he comes to Lhasa, wrapped in your braid soup to taste! The Tibetans listened, fearing and hating. The Dalai Lama also felt that instead of coming to Zhao Erfeng as a thorn in the head, it would be better to leave Lian Yu to deal with it. Therefore, he petitioned the Qing court to retain Lian Yu as the minister stationed in Tibet.
Zhao Erfeng had already entered Chamudo at that time, and when he heard about this situation, he also knew that Lianyu's background was deep, and he could not easily offend; Second, I feel that I have laid a foundation in Sichuan, and I only need to make some achievements, and I am afraid that the position of governor of Sichuan will not be able to run! Why go to that bitter cold place in Tibet and start from scratch? Moreover, I heard that the British are very powerful over there, and if they don't get it right, they will cause some diplomatic disputes! Yu took the initiative to ask Rabbit to go to the post of minister stationed in Tibet and specialize in Sichuan and Yunnan border affairs. It just so happened that the Joint Yu Joint had also been opened, and the Qing court pushed the boat along the water under the pretext of "the Dalai Lama earnestly retained, and Zhao Du resigned and stubbornly gave way", and agreed to his request Zhao Erfeng stayed in the town and Chuanbian as "the head of the Qin Order, and the military department Shangshu titled Inspector Chuan Yan Border Affairs Minister".
After he stayed, the first thing he did was to dispatch his troops to attack Sanyan. Having learned the lesson of the long-term inability to attack Sangphi Temple, this time the troops were sent out with meticulous preparations in advance. Two specially customized iron-framed cowhide boats that can carry dozens of people can be used to envelop Sanyan from the upper reaches of the Jinsha River. And equipped with four German "Amistuzun cannons." This kind of cannon, the gun body has wheels, can be disassembled in three sections, easy to carry. Each shell weighed twelve pounds and was specially used to destroy the earthen stone pillars. Then he mobilized three thousand men and horses, with Fu Huafeng as the military superintendent (commander-in-chief) of Sanyan, and divided his troops into five roads, pointing directly to Xiongsong Village in the center of Sanyan. This Fu Huafeng was originally the general of the Gulin Regiment, and when Zhao was "suppressing bandits" in Gulin, he led the militia group to cooperate, and he sold his strength so much that he even brought his own cousin to be killed! Gu Er became a close confidant of Zhao, and Di Jing Baoju, who was currently the prefect of the prefect, paid for and paid. Although Zhao Erfeng personally deployed this attack on Sanyan, he was promoted as the commander of the former enemy.
The Five-Way Army went out separately, murderous, and went straight to Sanyan. After Zhao Erfeng led the patrol of the three battalions of the palace, he was entering the place of Gongjue, and he overlooked that there was a big mistake in the rear. It turned out that after Sang Pi laid the foundation, Wu Ma, who had made meritorious contributions to cutting off water sources, was greatly appreciated by Zhao Erfeng, so he guaranteed him the post of commander with the title of prefect and stayed in the township. Seeing that the Sangphi Temple was strong and reliable, he stored the grain of the army and ordered Wu to guard it. I don't want a few defenders to gamble all night, and if you are careless, you will ignite a fire, and the general needs grain to burn a fine light! When Zhao Erfeng heard the news, he was furious, he always flaunted the strict management of the army, how to tolerate such things! He immediately ordered Wu Yu to be removed from his post and detained, and when he returned from pacifying Sanyan, he would investigate and deal with it again.
Zhao Erfeng was worried that the grain would be burned, and the army would not last. Suddenly, a good news came, saying that Sanyan had been pacified! Originally, this campaign was the one in which Zhao Erfeng mobilized the largest number of people, made the most preparations, and made the greatest momentum in various military operations in The Chuanbian. In fact, he also understood in his heart that there were not many Tibetans in Sanyan, and there was no need to spend such a lot of energy. But he deliberately bluffed, one to hit more and less, but to win the game; Second, it is better to exaggerate the battle record and ask the imperial court for credit. However, the speed of progress was also unexpected. It was not until I received the detailed war report that I learned that the incident was as follows.
The so-called three rocks are the transliteration of the Tibetan word "sprinkling hard", which means the land of evil and evil. Most of the territory is based on the moraine mountainous area, there is no production, except for hunting, relying on collective outings to rob for a living. It is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Qing court or the Tibetan side, and the people's customs are very closed. Since the Three Rock Head people brought the high-foot battle book to Zhao Erfeng, they did not see any movement, thinking that the other side did not dare to fight, so they put this matter behind them. Now that he heard that the Qing Army's Five-Way Brigade had come to attack, he ordered each village and village to defend itself and mobilize the men and women of their own villages to prepare for the battle.
Imposing group of towering castles
At that time, the first pipe belt of the Qing army, Gu Zhanwen, in order to grab the first merit, led three hundred troops, including a rapid advance, and within five days, he took the lead in reaching Xiongsong. The remaining four roads, due to the obstacles of relocation, are still on the way. This would have been an excellent opportunity for the Tibetan army to carry out various breakthroughs. He didn't want to be a reckless man of destruction, and he didn't understand tactics such as taking risks, setting up ambushes, enticing the enemy, and encircling them, and even ordered them to line up to attack! They made open muskets, each with two wheels, the man firing the gun in front and the woman loading the gun in the back. However, the Qing army used the Jiuzi fast gun, which not only could fire continuously, but also had a long range. As a result, as soon as the fire was exchanged, they suffered heavy casualties. The man saw that the situation was not good, threw the gun, led the team to wield a large knife, and came to fight desperately. They made the habit of open muskets, mistakenly believing that the Qing army's breech fast guns were also loaded from the muzzle. As soon as they rushed forward, they went to resist the muzzle of the Qing army's guns. Poor people have become ghosts under the gun!
The rest of the villages, hearing that the pines had been broken, the head men were dead, and the dragons were leaderless, surrendered their weapons one after another. In this way, the remaining four roads of the Qing army have not yet arrived, and Sanyan has been pacified. From the beginning to the end, it was only ten days. On the Tibetan side, dozens of people were killed and dozens wounded, and on the Qing side, only four people were killed or injured.
Zhao Erfeng was rewarded, happy and worried. The good news is that the war went so smoothly that it was fully credited within ten days. The best thing is that he used such a large army, but only cut off dozens of heads, and the battle record was inevitably brilliant! But he was worthy of the old adulterous giant slippery, so he hollowed out his mind and made up a ghost story to report to the imperial court. How to prepare yourself for the enemy first, arrange the deployment; How Fu Huafeng commanded Ruoding to directly attack the enemy's belly; How the soldiers under his command heroically killed the enemy, sacrificed their lives to serve their lives, and bragged a lot. He also said that in this great war, in addition to beheading dozens, thousands of "Fan bandits" were also driven into the Jinsha River and drowned, so that the river water blocked the clouds. He also knew that in any case, the imperial court was thousands of miles away, and the bragging he had bragged about was absolutely unpunctured. Sure enough, after the performance, the imperial court issued a decree, praised him greatly, and also rewarded the meritorious personnel who accompanied the folding and guaranteeing the lift. Because the Battle of Sanyan went unexpectedly smoothly, Zhao Erfeng believed that Fu Huafeng was a blessed general in the world, so Er'er was in the first place in Baoju. In this way, Fu Huafeng picked up the top of a Erpin Daoist. As for Gu Zhanwen, who was really fighting to the death, Zhao felt that he had killed too few people, and there was no reward except for ordering him to stay in Sanyan. Gu Zhanwen had a grudge because of this, and later during the Xinhai Revolution, he led a team to be the general representative of the Batang People's Army.
In 1929, Fu Huafeng died of illness at the age of 61
Just as Zhao Erfeng was dealing with the aftermath of the Sanyan Massacre at Gongjue Xingyuan, he overheard his subordinates report that there had been a mutiny in the township, and the chaotic soldiers had kidnapped the officials and looted the Treasury silver, and then flowed toward Yunnan! When Zhao Erfeng heard the news, he was shocked and angry, because he could not open his body for the time being, and in addition to telling the Yunnan side to cooperate with the interception, he also ordered the patrol commander Fengshan to lead a team to pursue.
Where did Zhao Erfeng know that this mutiny in the township was instigated and planned by his close associate Wu Li. Since Wu Yu was imprisoned, he knew that Zhao Erfeng's methods were vicious, and after he returned, he would never have a good life of his own, so he planned to wait for an opportunity to escape. It just so happened that on this day, he heard Zhang Zhanbiao, the sentry guarding him, scolding his boss Liu Maozheng in the broken mouth. It turned out that this Zhangbiao was a native of Qionglai, Sichuan, who was born in the army, and his figure was large and puli. Killed in battle, he was promoted to sentry officer with military merit. His immediate superior, Liu Maozheng, was of the Henan clan and had an extremely rough temper and was nicknamed "Liu Cat (Er) Mao". On this day, for a small matter, Zhang Zhanbiao scolded a dog bloody head, and said: "You Sichuan rats, you don't have a good thing!" After Zhang Zhanbiao's incident, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was there alone to insult and vent his anger.
As soon as Wu Li saw that the opportunity had come, because Zhang had been his subordinate, he talked to him and pretended to be comforted. After hearing Zhang recount what had happened, he provoked and said, "How can a manly husband be subjected to the filth of such a villain!" It is also thanks to you, if you rely on me..." Before he finished speaking, he did not speak. Zhang saw that there was something in his words and asked busily, "Lord Wu! What if you were?" Wu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, so he whispered to him: "The world is big, where can you not settle down?" If you get me, I will kill the Liu cat (child) hair and leave!" Seeing that Zhang Was silent, he seemed to be moved, and said: "I am familiar with the people of Yunnan, and after the incident, if you go back with me, I will definitely try to settle down."
Zhang Zhanbei was a brave and unscrupulous rough man, and when he heard his old boss say this, he decided to act, so he colluded with Huang Guangji, another sentry officer who had been slapped by Liu Cat (Er) Mao, and each of his brothers rushed into the camp headquarters to capture Liu Cat (Er) Mao, and snatched up the military salary and Ku Yin. Then the team ascended to the hall and interrogated Liu Cat (Er) Mao Out of Breath. Liu Cat (Er) Mao knelt on the ground and cried out for his life. Zhang Zhanbiao stepped forward, kicked him, and scolded: Ge Laozi thought you were a tough guy, it turned out that his was worth killing you, spitting out two bubbles of water from you, and rolling for Lao Tzu! Liu Cat (Er) Mao hugged the head rat and flew away. Returning to the looted battalion headquarters, thinking that he had no way to control it, that it had become a great change, and that he was so humiliated today, Zhao Erfeng knew how to overcome himself! Repentant of the intersection, so he hanged himself and died.
Zhang Zhanbiao and others took Wu Yu and went straight to Yunnan. Because everyone snatched up a lot of money, his soldier Ding Duo was reluctant to follow him to "fall into the grass and become king". Along the way, they fled one after another, and even Huang Guangji slipped away. Yunji, when he received the news of the Kawabe Mutiny, sent people to block the crossings and passes everywhere. Zhang Zhanbiao and the others could not rush across the border, just at this time the Wind Mountain pursuing soldiers arrived, and they fought. This Zhang Biao was dying, but he did not panic, while fighting, while gambling money, playing drums for fun. It was not until the food and ammunition were exhausted and the soldiers fled that they led several of their relatives and Wu Yu to flee to the homes of tibetans in the mountains to hide. These Tibetans, who had long been frightened by the Zhao butchers, drunk his grandfathers with wine and then bundled them up in the Fengshan camp.

This Wu Yu had long wanted to wait for an opportunity to escape, who knew that Zhang Zhanbiao wanted to rely on him to settle down in Yunnan, so he kept a close eye on him. Now that he was caught, on the way to Fengying, he cried to Zhang with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, saying: "There is a seventy-year-old mother in the family, and there is no one to provide for it!" Zhang Zhanbiao listened impatiently, so he said: "Manly husband, what a horse urine!" This is a matter of ge lao tzu alone!" Wu Yu listened and prostrated his head. Zhang Zhanbiao just turned around and ignored it.
When Fengshan escorted Zhang Zhanbiao and his party, Zhao Erfeng immediately opened a court for interrogation. First, Wu Yu was interrogated. Zhao asked, "Mr. Wu used to be a guest on the throne, but now he is the fourth in the ranks, so why?" Wu Ping crisply prostrated his head like mashing garlic, and said that he had kidnapped Zhang Zhanbiao and had not participated in the rebellion. Zhao turned around and asked Zhang. Zhang Zhanbiao knelt down on one knee, braided his hands, without any fear, starting from being insulted by Liu Cat (Er), but took all the responsibility on himself. And said: "Smelling today's point, Mo said that I Zhang Zhanbiao has a brain shell, even if it is ten brain shells, I can't live, and what else is there to say about the head!" Zhao Erfeng ordered That Zhang Zhanbiao Lingchi be killed, and the remaining more than ten people caught in the same case were all beheaded. Only this Wu Ping, because Zhang Zhanbiao did not confess what he instigated, Zhao Erfeng remembered his meritorious deeds in breaking the Sangpi Temple, so he stripped him of all meritorious names and sentenced him to life imprisonment. It wasn't until Xinhai anyway that he sneaked back to Yunnan by accident.
After pacifying Sanyan, Zhao Erfeng thought that the Tibetans had bowed down to the river and decided to comprehensively carry out land reform and return to the river and establish a province. First of all, it is necessary to confiscate the seals and trumpets of toastmasters and leaders in various places, abolish their ruling privileges, and set up rogue officials instead. It happened that the brothers in the Kawabe's largest toast, Dege, were infighting, giving him a perfect opportunity to intervene.
What happened was that Dorji Sangha, the eldest son of Theo touji, had been a monk in Lhasa since he was a child, and after the death of Theoji, the affairs of the family were managed by his brother Aung Ong Bai Renqing. In Lhasa, Sangh met a woman who sold barley wine, Shilang Zum, and the two had a fierce fight, so they hid from her husband and fled back to Derge. Originally, according to tradition, the eldest son Sangha should inherit the position of Toastmaster, but Renqing held the real power of Dege, so he refused to hand over the seal on the grounds that his brother had become a monk. The sangha was weak and weak, and there was nothing he could do about it, but Shiro Wasum was very capable and asked for the throne on the grounds that the sangha was now married and vulgar. And to win over the wishes of local leaders and win support. Seeing this, Renqing had a plan in mind, retreating to advance, and pretending to agree to the sangha's succession. However, he pointed out that Hemu was from a humble background, of unknown origin, and was not qualified to serve as a woman of toast, and that he must first be thrown away. So the two sides developed into a gunfight.
On the side of Renqing, there are many people, and the sangha sees that it is already unsupported. When Hemu had already heard that Zhao Erfeng wanted to confiscate the toasts and the seals of the heads of various localities, he sent people to lose his sincerity, expressing his willingness to surrender all his power and support the reform of land and return to the stream in the territory of Derge. Zhao Erfeng took the opportunity to enter the army and defeated Ertusi Renqing. Renqing fled to Lhasa alone. In this way, Zhao Erfeng threatened his butchers and threatened them, and successively confiscated more than thirty places in Yanjing, Xiangcheng, Daocheng, Daotang, Litang, Hekou, Sanba, Daofu, Minghuo, Zhan, Ganzi, Deng Ke, Dege, Malong, Tongpu, Zhaya, Gongjue, Jiangka, Sanyan, and Derong, or confiscated toast letters, or expelled Tibetan officials sent from Lhasa. He set up a committee member (equivalent to ZhiXian County) Yamen, assigned Han officials to manage the administration, and completed his plan to change the land and return to the stream.
Correspondingly, he also took some measures in the construction of the riverside, in short, that is, in agriculture, he established four counties to cultivate vegetables, rice and cotton; In terms of transportation, the Jiansutai Station was set up, the price of the Ula foot was set up, the steel bridge at the mouth of the river was built, and the Sichuan-Tibet telephone line was erected; In terms of industry and mining, tanneries, official pharmacies, paper mills and mining were established; In terms of education, more than 200 official language schools have been set up, and each household has been ordered to send their children to school, and those who rank in the top three in the examination will be exempted from the Ula service for three, two or one year in turn.

In short, what Zhao Erfeng did in Chuanbian was subjectively speaking, using barbaric and brutal feudal autocracy to consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but objectively speaking, there were also positive factors in developing Chuanbian to resist the invasion and oppression of the British Emperor and suppress the separatist tendencies of the reactionary forces in Tibet. But this cannot be abolished by man.

Through the implementation of the above measures, Kawabe has begun to take shape as a province. Zhao Erfeng, while applying to the imperial court, demanded the establishment of a province on the side of Sichuan to defend Sichuan, aid Tibet, and shoukang; On the one hand, a large number of construction projects were built in Batang to build the proposed "Xikang Province" to patrol the Yamen. At this time, it coincided with the Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year of Xuanun, according to the custom of the Qing Dynasty, every New Year's Day, the civil and military officials of the provincial capitals should go to the palace dedicated to the "Long Live the Present Emperor, Long Live, Long Live the Present Emperor" to pay homage to the ceremony. Zhao Erfeng then aided this example, setting up the "present" tablet in the Guandi Temple, and leading his civil and military officials to hold a pilgrimage, and the ceremony was as lively as an ceremony. At this time, Batang is like the provincial capital.
Soon after, the governor of Sichuan, Zhao Erxun, was transferred to Beijing, and the court ordered Zhao Erfeng to take over, and also appointed Wen Wen, the king of Sichuan Province, to succeed him as the minister of border affairs of Sichuan. This was a good thing that he had dreamed of for a long time, who knew that he used the word "side merit is not competitive" as a word, and insisted that the governor of Chuan face play please stay behind. Why, you say? It turned out that he was playing with a flower gun in one hand, so as to blackmail him, so that the Fu general in his pocket, Fu Huafeng, would come out and take his place. Sure enough, the court did not allow it, he resigned again, and after doing enough of the formalities, he used the words "Fu Huafeng is familiar with side affairs, and only then can he be of great use" and asked Fu to act as the minister of border affairs. Purpose: "If it is to be handled". So this murderous demon king, surrounded by guards, walked back to the province to take over. Along the way, I recalled the "Wenzhi Martial Arts" that I had been operating for seven years, and I couldn't help but feel a little angry. What everyone knows is waiting for him, but the Sichuan people are like a fiery tide of road protection struggle. He never dreamed that in this torrent of historical progress, he would end up in a different place!
On December 22, Zhao Erfeng was tricked by Yin Changheng, minister of military affairs, into handing over military power, and was arrested and executed in public
It is: the king looks at the other head, and the man shaves his head!
