雍正年间“台湾北路番乱事件”再研究

A Re-examination of the “Minority Rebellion of Northern Taiwan” in the Yongzheng Period

雍正年间“台湾北路番乱事件”呈现出明显的阶段性特征,第一阶段由大甲西社主导的“番乱”倾向于“泄愤”,因未触及清廷在台统治,官府在剿抚初期偏重于“安抚”;第二阶段由牛骂、沙辘、南大肚三社主导的“番乱”具有明显的“谋逆”倾向,且南、北二路在这一阶段皆有暴动发生,因此官方采取“重兵围剿”方式进行平叛。此次“番乱”处理中官方的被动应对与民间力量的主导性作用,共同反映了国家视野下地方治理偏重“治官”的有效性与合理性。

During the Yongzheng Period, the “Minority rebellion of Northern Taiwan” developed through distinctive phases. In the first stage, the minority who lived in the west of Dajia River led the rebellion, aiming to avenge the wrongs. The disorder did not infringe upon the Qing ruling interests in Taiwan, thus the authorities adopted an approach of appeasement. In the second stage, the rebellion led by the three groups of Niuma, Shalu and north of middag showed signs of challenging the regime and echoed with the insurgencies in both the north and south of Taiwan, so the authorities suppressed them with a heavy hand. The “Minority rebellion of Northern Taiwan” in the Yongzheng Period was the largest rebellion of ethnic minorities in the Qing Dynasty. The “passive” government response and the dominant role of the civil forces testify to the effectiveness and rationality of local governance, which, from the perspective of the state, placed an emphasis on “governing officials”.
