The Forgotten War: a Study of the Large-scale Armed Fighting Among Guangdong Natives During the Xianfeng and Tongzhi Years

About This Novel

During the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi, the large-scale armed fight between Guangdong natives and guests was a major historical event that has been forgotten or ignored by people. The scale of this armed battle, the number of casualties, and the profound impact were unprecedented in Chinese history. Because it was regarded as a "private civil war" by the then government and later scholars and ignored. Coupled with historical events such as the Taiping Army, Hongbing Army, and the Second Opium War, this armed struggle became a blind spot in people's memory. This book uses a large number of archives, official documents, local chronicles and other materials to give a detailed description and commentary of this large-scale armed fight between natives and foreigners that took place during the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi. The book is divided into three parts and ten chapters. The first part describes the remote and proximate causes of the conflict; the middle part outlines the basic situation of the conflict; the second part mainly describes the countermeasures taken by the Qing government to deal with the conflict and the basic quelling of the conflict. This book not only tells a forgotten historical event, but also involves the origin of the distribution of Hakkas in modern times, so it is of great significance to fill the gaps in the study of history and Hakka studies. This book was published by The Commercial Press in 2003 and is reprinted this time.
