Zhao Shenxian, whose real name is Zhao, also known as Zhao, is from Ningling Pavilion (now Jinji Town, southwest of Wuzhong, Ningxia), and his ancestral home is Wang Yu, Pingyuan County (now Wang Yu Town, Tongxin County, Ningxia). He is the club leader of Ningling Hall. He lives incognito in Weizhou, Jinji and Lingzhou. Develop social organizations and carry out secret anti-Qing activities under the guise of opening powder shops and goods shops. He bought guns, saved his strength and prepared for the uprising. He is also proficient in medicine, physiognomy and divination. Zhao shenxian? . What about this? Zhao shenxian? There is also a unique feature: his skin will emit phosphorescence, which invisibly adds a fantastic color. Is this the legendary Changlin and Zhao Zhen still alive?
Of course not. This is just a trick of Zhao. He once found that phosphorus-containing matches coated on the skin can flash phosphorescence in the dark. People who don't know the details think this phenomenon is amazing, and matches at that time were not affordable for ordinary people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, people used flint to collide with steel sickle to make a fire. Although matches appeared, they were expensive, and only the rich people in the city could afford them. People call it matches.
Early matches had high phosphorus content and high toxicity. When they were rubbed on the skin, phosphorescence appeared in the dark, so Zhao put a halo on himself and deceived the masses. His followers and congregation admire him and are willing to be driven by him.
Speaking of which, what kind of organization is this club? The gerocomium originated in the late Qing Dynasty. Paoge will be in Hong Men, green gang? The influence of the three folk gangs in the late Qing Dynasty was so great that Zeng Guofan and Zuo's army had many social members, and the victory of the Revolution of 1911 could not be separated from the great contribution of society.
Social members mainly come from the bottom of society, including chivalrous people, the lower poor, craftsmen, soldiers, urban vagrants and so on. Rob the rich and help the poor, eliminate violence and be calm? For the purpose. In Ningxia, due to successive years of military disasters, locust plagues, bandits everywhere, and poor rural areas, people could not maintain their livelihood because of the pressure of taxes, forcing many people to participate in the anti-Qing uprising.
Zhao secretly set up the Society Liaison Office and the Society Church in Ningling Guild Hall. He welcomed brothers from all walks of life in the surrounding areas and churches to discuss the anti-Qing uprising. Big shots from various places, such as Xuanhe, Ning 'an, Enhe and Mingsha, attended the meeting one after another. The atmosphere was lively and heroes from all walks gathered? Liangshan, Shui Bo? This feeling.
In June of the 11th year of Guangxu (1885), after two years of preparation, Zhao organized a team of 500-600 people in Jinling area to prepare for the uprising. Your majesty. , engraved seal command. He told the congregation that after his calculation, the luck of the Qing dynasty had run out and a new Lord should be established. It is scheduled to attack Ningling Hall (Jinjibao) on1/month. Say Zhao? Count? That makes sense. The national movement of the Qing Dynasty ended in the next 27 years. But before he waited for the uprising, the news leaked out. After knowing Guo Changyou's knowledge, Ningling Hall first arrested commune members in Ningling Hall. When the uprising failed, Zhao He fled back to his hometown to take refuge and wait for the opportunity.
Although Zhao had a strong anti-Qing consciousness and strong will, he believed in superstition and mobilized the masses, and his organization was extremely loose and lacked strict discipline, which led to leaks and the uprising died. After the failure of the uprising, he came to Jiebulang at the foot of Tianjing Mountain, 60 miles south of Ning 'an Fort, and met Wang Enmei, Zhang and Ren. The four of them are like-minded, and they became friends with Jin Lan. The four of them actively organized teams and developed 100 people in Xuanhe, Ning 'an, Enhe and Mingsha.
With the team, we need a base. So in September 1886, Zhao took his team of more than 100 people to Shuiya Village at the bottom of Tianjing Mountain in the south of Ning 'anbao (now Ning 'an Town, Zhongning County) in Zhongwei County, secretly preparing for the uprising. Jebron is a good place, a paradise. There are only five or six families, which is very inconspicuous. The terrain is open on three sides, with a mountain on one side and a mountain pass next to it, leading to dishuiya.
Dishuiya is 2.5 kilometers southwest of Brown, a pupil, and is surrounded by mountains. As long as the mountain pass is held, the outside world will not know what is going on inside. Over this mountain, you can go to Xiangshan. If you encounter the suppression of the Qing army, you can move back and forth, or you can sneak up the mountain and advance and retreat freely. There are also mountain springs with sweet water quality, which can not only satisfy daily drinking, but also irrigate 30 mu of land and grow food and vegetables, making it easier to stick to it.
Where is Zhao? General Xilie Wang Kaiguo? In the name of calling on the masses to join the ranks, it caused great momentum and frightened the businessmen, landlords and officials in the city. The rebels are scheduled to raise an event on the Mid-Autumn Festival night to attack Ning 'an Fort. On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rebel army offered a flag in dishuiya. Zhao sent Wang Enmei as a torchbearer and lit two fires as an attack signal. Dressed as civilians, the rebels secretly dispersed to the boat tower west of Ning 'an Fort, waiting for fire.
In fact, at this time, the actions of the insurgents have been leaked out, and the Zhongwei county magistrate Kuang Yizhi has already taken strict precautions and sent Qing soldiers and vigilantes to inspect. At this time, torchbearer Wang Enmei couldn't catch fire. What happened? It turned out that it rained all night on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the wheat pile used for ignition was wet by the rain and could not be lit for a while. Some impatient rebels attacked directly without waiting for the signal, which led to the dispersion of a few troops.
Wang Enmei was going to break up the wheat pile and ignite it, but she alarmed the landlord's long-term workers, who shouted that there were thieves and attracted a large number of Qing soldiers and vigilantes. In the scuffle, Zhao, the leader of the rebel army, was killed on the spot.
For this uprising, the records recorded in the 12th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1887 65438+1October 3rd)1February 5th are:? Tan Linzhong, the governors of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, played a role in arresting the first criminal. Please give a 10% discount to the donors. In dishuiya, Zhongwei County, Gansu Province, there was a gangster named Zhao Shenxian, that is, Zhao, who dared to rally his henchmen and meet for an uprising. When the news of Yi Kuang's visit was discovered, he immediately rallied the gentry group, expecting to be suppressed. Tan sent officers and men to cooperate with the pursuit. The leader of the gang was killed, and several associates were arrested and punished separately. The case started in a hurry, and local civil and military officials had to improvise and confront it, so they set off a prairie fire in a hurry and rewarded them with a merit award as an encouragement. Zhang Xinming, a guerrilla of the regiment gentry, first tried to make up for this with the participation of the generals. ?
There is another story about the death of Zhao, the leader of the rebel army: Zhao escaped again and hid. When the governor heard the news, he sent a general to the war and led the cavalry to help; Feng Nanbin, the company commander of Ningxia Town, Fu Yu, the leader of Ningxia, and Huang Ziyuan, the magistrate of Ningxia, all sent troops to help suppress, but Zhao's whereabouts were never found. However, under the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army and militia, traitors appeared in the rebel army and gave up Zhao's hiding place.
The Qing army and militia found Zhao, Wang Enmei and Ren in Dajiaodong, northwest of Brown primary school, and asked them to surrender. Zhao Jian never surrendered. Wang Enmei and Ren covered Zhao to escape from the cave, but they were captured and killed by the militia. Zhao fled to Zhang's home in Tongxin County. He was also betrayed and died with Zhang.
Although the anti-Qing uprising led by Zhao, the leader of the association, was small in scale, it was only the tip of the iceberg. Twenty-four years later, the Revolution of 1911 broke out and overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Society has played an extremely important role in it, and it still exists in Ningxia. Zhao shenxian? The story spread.
