摘要

本文主要从反叛者的角度研究白莲花战争(1796-1804)中的特赦与投降。大赦的提议符合儒家关于统治者和臣民之间关系的规范，并在整个战争期间被朝廷及其官员经常用作安抚和救助人民的工具。尽管有关于好臣民应有行为的家长式语言，但反叛者的行为是自发的。叛军做出了大赦和投降的战略决定，并在机会出现时寻求优势;因此，他们对大赦宣言的反应在接受和反对之间交替。在反抗的过程中，反抗方对平定行动有很大的阻力。反叛者的不妥协态度削弱了大赦政策的效力，迫使法院调整其策略。总之，从反叛者一方观察国家的绥靖政策，揭示了决定投降的偶然性，并进一步表明，关于大赦和投降的争夺是整个冲突的重要组成部分。

Amnesty and Surrender in the White Lotus War

This study focuses on amnesty and surrender in the White Lotus war (1796–1804) from the rebel perspective. Offers of amnesty corresponded to Confucian norms regarding the relationship between rulers and subjects and were regularly utilized throughout the war by the court and its officials as a tool to pacify and succor the people. Paternalistic language about the proper behavior of good subjects notwithstanding, the rebels acted of their own accord. The rebels made strategic decisions about amnesty and surrender and sought the advantage when opportunities arose; their responses to amnesty proclamations accordingly alternated between engagement and opposition. Over the course of the revolt, there was significant resistance to pacification initiatives from the rebel side. Rebel intransigence detracted from the efficacy of amnesty policies and compelled the court to adapt its tactics. In sum, viewing state policies of appeasement from the rebel side reveals the contingencies governing decisions to surrender and further demonstrates that the contest over amnesty and surrender was an important component of the overall conflict.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Chinese Military History (JCMH) is a peer-reviewed semi-annual that publishes research articles and book reviews. It aims to fill the need for a journal devoted specifically to China''s martial past and takes the broadest possible view of military history, embracing both the study of battles and campaigns and the broader, social-history oriented approaches that have become known as "the new military history." It aims to publish a balanced mix of articles representing a variety of approaches to both modern and pre-modern Chinese military history. The journal also welcomes comparative and theoretical work as well as studies of the military interactions between China and other states and peoples, including East Asian neighbors such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
