在滇緬交界山區,隨著清初大型銀礦的開發,地方土司受到來自清朝和緬甸兩方國家力量的掣肘。新興宗教的宗師銅金和尚利用礦工秘密社會、礦區商路和私鹽市場之間的交錯關系,在官府和土司之間尋求政治發展空間。嘉慶皇帝為了清理清緬戰爭后的殘局,直接主導了對銅金和尚的剿撫決策。通過檢視銅金成為地方官員的合伙人、皇帝眼中的政治投機者以及山區民眾心目中的"佛王"的過程,本文集中討論新興制度創立者社會動員力的發展與國家體制的關系,以及清朝國家力量在邊疆的伸縮與山區"佛王"體制及倮黑(拉祜)族群身份建構之間的關聯。 The development of silver mining industry between the Mekong River and the Salween River in the Yunnan and Burma border region and the political conflict between Qing and Burma gradually weakened native chieftains since the 17th century. The newly emerged Buddhist master Monk Tongjin exploited the secret societies of miners and the merchant network amongst mines and salt markets to seek his political rise between officials and chieftains in the mountainous area. The silver mining industry in the region began before the 16th century and peaked in the 18th century, and then declined in the early 19th century. The wars between Qing and Burma (1762-1769) bankrupted the local government in Yunnan because of the burden of transporting logistics for the war. To deal with the crisis by tightening local salt revenue, Emperor Jiaqing reign (1796-1820) made the salt trade, an important ingredient in silver smelting, between salt wells and the mines illegal, causing a jump in cost of silver production and eventually the demise of the silver mining industry. Depressed economy brought the expansion of secret societies among laid-off miners and affected villagers in the mountainous region. Monk Tongjin and his fellows became the core leadership that helped to reconstruct a new political institution to challenge the neighboring chieftains and county officials. Threatened by the movement, Emperor Jiaqing ordered the elimination of Monk Tongjin. This paper reviews historical events that led to the rise of Monk Tongjin as a Buddha-King among his people and a collaborator to local officials, but seen as a political threat by the emperor. It examines the relationship between the new political institution and its social agency with the states.
