On the issue of Shanghainese stereotyping northern Jiangsu people, there are two misunderstandings, one is that Shanghainese have prejudices against Jiangbei people, not just Northern Jiangsu people; second, not only Shanghainese, but also people in the entire southern Jiangsu region have bad memories of Jiangbei people.
The reason is from the Qing Dynasty 1851-1864 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, before that, the Jiangnan region, peaceful and orderly. Due to the appearance of the Taiping Army, the order was chaotic and the lives were ruined.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Jiangnan region was rich and well known, otherwise, the Qianlong Emperor would not have visited Jiangnan six times, and he came to travel and vacation in the name of research and investigation. Since 1853, Hong Xiuquan set the capital in Nanjing, and the good days of the people of Jiangnan, especially Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou, have come to an end. There were three forces that took turns to loot, loot, and slaughter them, namely the Taiping Army, the British and French Allied Forces, and the Qing Army. Regarding the evil deeds of the Anglo-French coalition forces, it has been published in "What does it mean to curse people in Shanghai as "Red Guy"? As the article says, I will not repeat it.

This article mainly talks about the evil deeds of the Qing army stationed in Shanghai.
Before 1860, most of the Qing soldiers in Shanghai were of two Cantonese nationalities, and because they were fellow villagers with the Taiping Army and had prepared for uprisings in Shanghai many times, the Shanghai gentry had the saying that "Yue Yong is not a good kind" and tried to dismiss them, resulting in a sharp increase in the proportion of Soldiers and Braves in Jiangbei, including northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu.
The Qing army in Shanghai almost smoked opium, but it was not cheap to buy opium and tobacco pills, and where did the money come from for the Qing army, which was not high in silver? One word, is to grab. Officers take the lead, upward and downward.
At that time, there were often civilian boats fleeing from the Taiping Army to shanghai, and on the Huangpu River, there were 89 Qing army marine division boats patrolling, often robbed small boats, floating along the river, and the people on board were cut and injured by the sailors, naked, groaning and drooling, and even their clothes were robbed. In Wusongkou, there were more than a dozen marine division ships, which were capable of robbing refugee ships.
Before Li Hongzhang's Xianghuai Water Division came to Shanghai to take over, the admiral Zeng Bingzhong of the Jiangnan Water Division was in charge, and all his battalions were open fire enforcers, and the crime site was mainly near Dianshan Lake. Sun Chengzhi, who was working at Shanghai Customs at that time, once wrote a poem "Ballad of a Soldier Officer": "With a soldier officer, how fat is it?" Last year, the white blade robbed the road, and this year the green feathers flew high crowns. "
Later, Li Hongzhang used this as an excuse to drive Zeng Bingzhong away from Shanghai. Lord Li Zhongtang drove out Zeng Bingzhong, not out of justice, but mainly to seize power, because his subordinates in the Huai Army were not fuel-saving lamps.
When the Qing army blocked the Taiping Army, harassing the villagers was the norm. In early March 1862, a group of soldiers bravely went to Qibao to garrison, and the bosses did not camp but lived in civilian houses, robbed people's houses, and after taking out their belongings, they demolished the doors and beams until there was nothing to be taken away and all the rubble was rested. In addition, they also impersonated suburban villagers as prisoners of the Taiping Army and wantonly tortured and killed them. On April 4, 1862, at the Battle of Wangjiasi, Hu Yuanshou, the capital of the Qing army, presented 33 bloody human heads, and after examination, only 11 were barely considered to be the Taiping Army, which meant that he had killed at least 22 innocent villagers. Another Qing soldier brought back 15 heads, but I don't know how many were villagers.
Wang Tao, a famous scholar in Shanghai, wrote in "Imagining Tan and Using Soldiers": "Today's soldiers, discipline is swinging, jumping and clapping, not constrained." When you meet the people, you are like a tiger, and when you meet a thief, you are like a mouse. Enter the market, enter the village empty. Wang Tao's "thief" refers to the Taiping Army.
Sometimes, the Qing army sprang up, even the assets of foreign foreigners. According to the book "History of Jiangnan Mission", the French monk Shi Xuanyun recorded, "The Qing soldiers were more powerful than the Taiping Army in terms of sabotage and arson. Looting, smashing, and burning seem to be the main features of this civil war. "He was in the Zhangpuqiao Catholic settlement in Songjiang, where he experienced the looting and arson of the Qing soldiers. Before Zhang Puqiao opened its port in Shanghai, it was known as "Little Europe", and the Catholic Church in this area was one of the most beautiful and most beautiful cathedrals in the Diocese of Jiangnan, and after being robbed by the Qing soldiers, a fire burned to ashes.
By the way, why set fire to it after snatching it? The first is to cover up crimes, rob for money, kill people, set fires to extinguish traces, and find no solid evidence; second, it is convenient to blame. The Taiping Army pushed that it was done by the Qing Army, the Qing Army pushed that it was done by foreigners, the foreigners pushed that it was done by the Taiping Army, and even the British pushed that it was done by the French, and the French pushed that it was the American Huaer Yang Gun Team that did it, anyway, everyone was robbing, and it was not clear who was who it was, and finally, the most miserable thing was the common people, around Shanghai and the counties and towns of southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, Chibi was destroyed for hundreds of miles, their families were destroyed, they had to become refugees, they defected to the county town of Shanghai, countless people fell into the streets, did not cover their stomachs, did not cover their bodies, and were able to survive, it was already a great fate.

In April 1862, Li Hongzhang led the Huai army to Shanghai, and the Huai army was all Jiangbei people. Li Hongzhang also sent people to northern Jiangsu to recruit five battalions, plus the northern Anhui compatriots he recruited from the Taiping Army, accumulating more than 50,000 people. Many of the gunboat gangs that came to join Li Hongzhang came from the Chaohu gang in Jiangbei, and the discipline of these people was terrible, and the people of Shanghai suffered a lot. For example, Wang Cuiyuan, a famous gentleman in Xinqiao, in the western suburbs, had objects in his home that were evacuated by the Huai Army. Other gentlemen, the loss is not calculated. In the Huai Army barracks, the bosses of the various sentries often held competitions in the evening, piled up rare treasures on the table, competed with each other, and sometimes piled up a few feet high.
Even Li Hongzhang admitted that "Huai Yong's wild spirit has not been removed, and he has harassed xiangduo", however, he not only connived, but also often used high prices to buy military rice from his subordinates as military supplies, knowing that it was stolen rice, and closed his eyes and did not ask. The Huai army fought from Shanghai to Suzhou, killing and robbing all the way to replenish military supplies. After the war, Li Hongzhang inspected Jiading, Qingpu, Huating, Louxian, and other places on the spot, and reported to the Qing court, saying, "No land is burned, no households are captive, and one look at Pingwu is flat, and the road is blocked by Jinghao." He did not tell the truth, and many of them were created by the Huai Army.
After the Huai army conquered Suzhou, it killed 8 taiping kings, killed countless ordinary people, searched and destroyed one mansion after another, burned down all the streets of private houses, and demolished all the doors and windows in the remaining houses. The solder stolen alone sold 200,000 catties. How can the people of Shanghai and southern Jiangsu not hate such soldiers in Jiangbei with their teeth?
To sum up the reasons, it is not the nature and evil of the people in Jiangbei, the reasons are very complicated, one is that the general environment at that time was too corrupt and too bad to be repeated; second, during the war, the Qing army's military supplies were seriously insufficient, and there was no way to raise funds, nor did it have time to raise funds; third, and the most important reason, the Qing army's military discipline was lax, and no one restrained it, resulting in the evil of human nature being released in its entirety.
In contrast, on May 27, 1949, the liberation of Shanghai, 100,000 troops, do not disturb the citizens, all sleep on the street, this is strict discipline. At that time, the main force entering Shanghai was the Third Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which was reorganized and expanded by the New Fourth Army and the Shandong Eighth Route Army, and the Jiangbei people of the New Fourth Army were numerous!

Recently, it is constantly updating #Shanghai 3000.
