People of all ethnic groups have no food and clothing. White-haired parents, groaning in bed; Small and weak children, hold the door and cry. Now that the knife is on the neck, how can we hope to avoid death? With a spear in his chest, how can he beg for mercy and survive? The handsome man was filled with indignation when he saw the terrible situation, so he raised the banner of righteousness, expelled the thieves and rejected the landlord. I hope the people of all ethnic groups will raise the banner of justice, save the world and save the people of Ailao Mountain! The insurgent army carried out the policy of promoting national unity, overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty and cracking down on landlords and bullies, pointing out that "it is the landlords and bullies of the Han nationality who are enemies of foreigners, not the working people"; The insurgent army's "don't be different from foreigners, foreigners benefit from the same" has won the warm support of people of all ethnic groups. In the name of "Marshal Yi", he launched a solemn movement against the Qing Dynasty and feudal landlords: I have been bullied by Han landlords in Ailao Mountain for decades, and I live in poverty in Shan Ye. Since the Manchu reactionaries entered the Central Plains, the Han landlords have been in cahoots with them and brutally exploited the Yi and Han people.
? In less than half a month, the fire of the uprising soon spread throughout Ailaoshan area and Yunnan. Shortly after the uprising, the rebels split into three roads and went to Dali to rescue the Hui peasant rebels led by Du Wenxiu who was besieged by the Qing army. More than 3,000 rebels defeated more than 20,000 Qing troops besieged in Dali, pursued victory and captured Chuxiong County. Since then, Li has joined forces with farmers of all ethnic groups, such as the Hani Rebel led by Tian Shirang, the Dai Rebel led by Dao and the Bai Rebel led, and controlled more than 30,000 square kilometers of land in 10 counties, such as Nanhua, Chuxiong, Shuangbai, Jingdong, Zhenyuan, Xinping and Yuanjiang. The rebel army established the Marshal House in Midi Village, Midi County, and there are eight areas under the jurisdiction and control of the Governor's House.
? According to the regulations of Marshal's Office, all men and women aged 65,438+08 to 40 should receive military training, concentrate on defending the enemy in wartime and engage in farming in peacetime. Economically abolish all land rent and strict factions. It is stipulated that the land originally owned by landlords cultivated by farmers belongs to farmers, and farmers only need to pay 20% of the harvest to the marshal's family as land tax every year. In case of production reduction due to disasters, it can also be reduced or exempted. At the same time, in Ejina (now Shuangbai County) and other places, organize farmers to open terraces, repair ditches and vigorously develop agricultural production; Open an oil mill to do water milling and water hammer to extract oil; Centralized and unified management of iron factories and lead factories confiscated from landlords, manufacturing agricultural tools and ordnance for military and civilian use. It is also stipulated that "officials who disturb the people can be beheaded without forgiveness", so the agricultural economy in the occupied areas has developed rapidly.
