With civilians in the midst, the Qing Dynasty ordered that the usurpers be eliminated before anymore casualties could take place. This bravery in the face of evil sought to engage all the peoples of the Qing Dynasty and encourage them to overthrow the Rebels, and so the resistance was formed.
The more notable factions of this resistance are the Soldiers of the Imperial Army and their old foes, the Highland Bandits.
