Huizhou Uprising

On October 8, 1900, Zheng Shiliang, Huang Fu and others gathered more than 80 triad members and more than 600 revolutionary masses in Sanzhoutian, Guishan, Huizhou (now Huiyang, Guangdong), and launched a surprise attack on Xin'an Shawan. The Qing army, who was in charge of defense, was caught unprepared and had no time to organize resistance. After all, being a soldier carrying a gun is just to make a living. It's important to protect your life at the critical moment. If you lose the guy who eats, you won't have to mess. The rebel army did not encounter decent resistance at all, and won xin'ansha bay with the momentum of being quick to cover one's ears and steal one's bell.

After a short period of consolidation, the rebel army took advantage of the victory and pushed forward to Xin'an County. On the 15th, the rebel army met the Qing army who came to suppress them in foziao, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides. After a fierce battle, they defeated the Qing army, killed countless enemies and handed in more than 700 guns.

The uprising army made persistent efforts and fought with the Qing army many times in Yonghu and benggangxu. In the battle, the revolutionaries fought bravely, while the Qing army carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of humiliation and not being afraid of taking the blame, and cooperated with the uprising army to win again and again.

By October 21, the number of rebel troops had grown to more than 20000. Just under the favorable revolutionary situation, problems arose. Although the rebel army has been fighting and winning, it has always been fighting guerrillas and has no real base. Although the Qing army was beaten to pieces in the beginning, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the whole of China was in the hands of others. They sent people to fight with you every day. After a long time, they were not killed and they were exhausted.

Moreover, the gun is not a kitchen knife or hoe. As long as it is not broken, it can be used by children and grandchildren. When all the bullets are gone, the gun is not as good as a kitchen knife or hoe, and it can be used as a burning stick. More importantly, Sun Yat Sen, the spiritual leader of the team, was unable to return to preside over the overall situation. Zheng Shiliang repeatedly asked Sun Yat Sen for instructions, but Sun Yat Sen was also very helpless, so he had to tell Zheng Shiliang: you can do it yourself.

Seeing that the ammunition had run out, Zheng Shiliang had no idea. Instead of sitting in the air, he was finally caught by the Qing army. Let's go back to each family and find each mother. After the arrangement, Zheng Shiliang and a part of the backbone forces set foot on the ship to Hong Kong again. The rebel army also put down their machetes and became a good citizen, and went home in twos and threes. Therefore, it is a pity that the vigorous Huizhou revolution came to a hasty end in this way. It is worth mentioning that after returning to Hong Kong, Zheng Shiliang was not discouraged by the failure of the uprising, but actively planned another uprising. Unfortunately, on August 27, 1901, Zheng Shiliang was poisoned and killed by a killer bought by the Qing government. Zheng Shiliang's magnificent revolutionary life came to an abrupt end, but his spirit and contribution to the revolution will always be remembered by history.
