1902, the famous jingtingbin uprising broke out in the east of our region, and the revolutionary slogan of "eliminating the foreign countries" was clearly put forward, which occupied an important position in the modern history of our country.
Jing Tingbin was born in 186 1 year, a native of Dongzhao Village, Guangzong County. He is the general leader of Lianzhuang Association in Guangzong County. He usually likes to make friends, so he is keen on fighting against injustice and enjoys high prestige among the local people. 1900, the boxer movement that shocked China and foreign countries broke out. People in Xingtai, Weixian and Guangzong counties in our district responded positively, burning churches everywhere and killing outsiders. There is a French church in Xinli Village, Guangzong County, which was burned down by the local people because the priests did so many evils. After the failure of the Boxer Rebellion, French priests demanded compensation from Guangzong county magistrate, agreed to pay more than 12,000 silver, and designated villages to share their donations per mu. At this time, Guangzong suffered from famine for years, and the lives of ordinary people were difficult. When I heard that I was going to share the loss with foreigners, I chose Jing Tingbin as the leader. 190 1 year, I called two people to protest and declared angrily: "China people don't accept foreign jobs!" It has dealt a blow to the reactionary arrogance of foreigners.
The mass struggle led by Jing Tingbin frightened the Qing government. 1March 3, 902, the Qing army launched an attack on Dongzhao Village. The local people fought bravely with spears and broadswords, killing and injuring many Qing soldiers. On April 23, Jing Tingbin led the masses to Xiatou Temple in Julu County, erected two banners in front of the temple, namely "Sweeping the Ocean" and "Officials Forcing the People to Rebel", and erected the banner of "Grand Marshal of the Dragon Regiment". At that time, the four directions responded, setting off a magnificent revolutionary storm across 24 counties in Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces, and the insurgents quickly developed to 30,000 to 40,000 people.
The Jingtingbin Uprising alarmed Chinese and foreign reactionaries. The Qing emperor issued an imperial decree and ordered Yuan Shikai, governor of Zhili, to send troops to suppress it. Baoding, the capital of Zhili, declared martial law. Beijing is heavily guarded. Monk's temples, buddhist nun and hotels, large and small, are densely covered with patrolling soldiers and spies to prevent the rebels from sneaking in. More than 6,000 foreign soldiers from Germany, France, Japan and other countries also went to Nangong from Beijing to "help suppress". In May, the Qing army surrounded the simply supported village, an important stronghold of the rebel army, and stormed with artillery. Jing Tingbin led his stubborn resistance and finally broke through and moved to Yu Chengan, Linzhang and other places. In June, Jing Tingbin was defeated and arrested. In July, he was sent to Yu Di Village, Wei County, to be executed this year.
Although Jing Tingbin's uprising failed, his revolutionary slogan of "clearing the ocean" marked the new awakening of China people.
