Wang Heshun

Wang Heshun (1868-1934), a native of Yongning County, Guangxi Province, was a democratic revolutionist in modern China. Born in a poor peasant family, he is diligent, studious and forthright. When he was 16 years old, he was in charge of the Yamen in Xuanhua county. During this period, Wang Heshun took advantage of his work to organize many poor and unemployed people to establish a party. After that, Wang Heshun joined the black flag army and entered Vietnam to fight against the French invaders. In 1899, Wang Heshun became a famous leader of the party in Guangxi, openly opposing the Qing Dynasty. In 1903, when the Manchu government suppressed the peasant uprising in Guangxi, Wang Heshun skillfully set up an ambush and conducted it calmly. He defeated the Qing army twice and made a great impact. Finally, Wang Heshun launched a peasant uprising centered on Nanning. Wang Heshun's uprising caused the Manchu government's panic, and the Manchu government mobilized a large army to fight back. Wang Heshun judged the situation, decisively divided the whole into parts, concealed the revolutionary forces, and looked for opportunities to rise again. In 1905, Wang Heshun joined the Chinese League and said that he would follow Dr. Sun Yat Sen through the revolution. In 1908, Sun Yat Sen sent Wang Heshun, Huang Mingtang and Guan Renfu to plan the Hekou uprising in Yunnan. After more than 20 days of fierce fighting, the uprising failed because it was outnumbered. Wang Heshun and Huang Mingtang led their troops back to Vietnam and were sent to Singapore by the French colonial government. After the outbreak of Huanghuagang uprising in 1911, he returned to China again and insisted on revolution. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Wang Heshun went to Guangdong to form a civil army and successively conquered Huizhou and Guangzhou. In 1915, Wang Heshun organized the national defense army to denounce Yuan Shikai's restoration of monarchy. In 1922, he launched a campaign against Chen Jiongming in Wuzhou. Chen Jiongming fled to Hong Kong in a hurry, and Sun Yat Sen established the Grand Marshal's mansion in Guangzhou. Wang Heshun retired after success and lived in seclusion in Guangzhou. In 1934, Wang Heshun died in Guangzhou at the age of 66.

Revolutionary career

In 1900, there was a severe drought in Wuming, resulting in the loss of farmland and the displacement of people. At that time, the government of Wuming in the Qing Dynasty not only did not give the people compassion and relief, but also exploited them. In this year, Wang Heshun led the three-point armed forces, from the fourth and fifth ponds of Yongning to the Longwei of Wuming (now Longwei of Yongning District). Under the leadership of Wang Heshun's party, the Zhuang and Han people in Wuming, who are on the front of starvation and death, began a vigorous anti Qing struggle in Wuming. After Wang Heshun came to Wuming, he drew lessons from Su Zhensong of Santang (now Lingma Sanmin Village of Wuming) and Zhou Zhiguo of Wuju (now Zhoucun village of Wuming Temple) who "used magic to incite people to visit" and led to failure. He put forward the slogan of "forcing people to revolt, killing officials and retaining people, robbing the rich and helping the poor", and pointed the spearhead of the struggle directly at corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry. in those years, Wang teyan (formerly known as Wang Yuexiu, now from tamotun village, Shuangqiao Town, Wuming), Wei Guizhi in Dongxiang, Yang TESAN, Li sanrang and Wei Guanting in BEIXIANG gathered dozens of people to set up peasant uprising forces, one after another responding to Wang Heshun's anti Qing call. In June 1901, the Li sanrang division of the Wuming peasant uprising army killed Wei Jiming, the leader of the Leiyang Regiment (now Yangwei in Mashan County and Leiwei in Wuming County), Li xiugao and his son, the local tyrant. In early August of the same year, the peasant uprising army led by Wei Telai, Wei teguo and Wei Guizhi shot and killed Li Yingcun villain teqin and his father, and put incense candles on teqin's head to sacrifice to Chiyou, fighting against the officers. In February 1902, Nanxiang peasant uprising army invaded Namu village of Shangjiang Regiment (now Shangjiang township of Wuming) and burned Qin Zhixiang, the leader of the regiment. In early August, Wang teyan, the leader of the peasant uprising army, and Li Xiang of Xuanhua county (now Yongning District) stormed into the Linwei (now Taiping Linwei in Wuming), and captured the tuanshen, Fang lougao, Su Zengxin and others. After Wuming suppressed a group of reactionary leaders who had committed heinous crimes, Wang Heshun United various rebel forces at this time and established a group of peasant Rebel base areas in Wuming county. At that time, Wuming now belonged to the base areas of the peasant uprising army in Yiling, Chang'an, Ganwei, Shangjiang, Linwei, etc. In the past two years, Wang Heshun led the peasant uprising army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and established the base area. In order to consolidate and expand the base areas, Wang Heshun also took many effective measures to call on the broad masses of farmers to rise up against the Qing government. On the one hand, Wang Heshun organized Wuming peasants to attend the "worship meeting" (attend the three-point meeting), exempted their Ding Fu, educated them to be loyal to the party, and sent a number of young and powerful soldiers to the peasant army; on the other hand, he paid 300-500 yuan to the rich and powerful local gentry and rich men for "Worship Taiwan" according to their private property. In this regard, they are supported by the majority of farmers. According to the old villagers of Yiling village in Wuming, in those years, Wang Geshun not only took the above measures in the base area of Wuming peasant uprising army, but also attached great importance to the development of those gentlemen with high ideological consciousness as the backbone. At that time, these gentlemen were known as "Lai Ma" (meaning only the President Ma shoushizhan) to manage the affairs of the meeting. In the base areas of Yiling peasant uprising army, Su Chengzhi, Xiang Sheng, Su kekuan and Su Jianxue, who are already in maokeju, are well-known local "Lai Ma", and they all follow Wang Heshun closely. Su Chengzhi is quick witted and eloquent. In the oath of "visiting", he wrote: "three ponds, five wells, seven hills and fields, three feet of Han silk in front of him, swords in all kinds, and red lights in five groups show thousands of years." The oath reveals the strength of the armed forces of the rebel army, and further depicts the bright future of the national unity with the Han nationality as the main body. Su Chengzhi also warned Yiling villagers: "the wind blows, worship heavy forest trees, Kuang Er solitary pine one or two branches." The villagers are advised to be aware of current affairs and not to hesitate to participate in "Taiwan worship". Su kekuan was knowledgeable. Wang Heshun also asked him to teach the peasants how to read and speak revolutionary principles in other villages, so as to enhance their ideological awareness and enhance the prestige of the party. When Wang Heshun was in Wuming, in order to publicize the revolutionary principles and mobilize the masses to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he often took the risk to make anti Qing speeches in public every polder day, which was deeply supported by the majority of farmers. Because of the strict military discipline of the peasant uprising army led by Wang Heshun, there was a stable situation in the base areas where the peasants lived and worked. When Wang Heshun was in Wuming, his "book of visits" put forward a clear program to the point of the time. He mobilized the volunteers to unite around him and establish a relatively solid base. In addition, he fought bravely, conducted flexibly and took the initiative to attack, so he won a series of victories. In 1903, after Wang Heshun's growing power in Wuming, Yang Fagui, the commander-in-chief of the clean government, and pan Yingzhou of Youjiang town led his troops to Wuming to encircle Wang Heshun, Wang wufei and other rebel leaders. In March of the same year, Wang Heshun and his wife were stationed in Wudong and Liudong of dengliu, Wuming. When the Qing soldiers came to encircle and suppress, Wang Heshun lured the enemy to go deep, gathered and annihilated them. He killed more than 100 Qing soldiers, injured dozens of them, and killed Li Xingjin, an officer of the Qing army. At the beginning of March 1904, Wang and Wang teyan of Shunyi army were stationed in pinghong village and Yangli village of Shuangqiao, Wuming. When Ding Huai, the governor of Guangxi, heard the news, he led the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. They thought that they could wipe out the rebel forces in this area by quick means. Unexpectedly, the Qing soldiers were badly beaten by the rebels. On March 8 and 9, 1904, Wang Heshun was stationed in Ganwei area of Wuming. When Ding Huai, the governor of Guangxi, heard the news, he brought several battalions to encircle the king and Shunhe rebellion. Wang Heshun laid an ambush around Ganwei. As soon as the officers and soldiers entered the boundary of Ganwei, they were severely attacked by the volunteers and killed guandai Huang Chaoying and part of the Qing army led by him on the spot. In this battle, Wang Heshun led the volunteers and the Qing soldiers to fight for two days, both sides were killed and wounded, and the Qing soldiers were still seriously injured. Later, Wang Heshun adopted the method of attacking Ying to save Zhao
