On the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of Hongye, Wuding Mansion Yuanmou Tusi Wu Bikui launched a rebellion and led the army to connect with Da Yao, Dingyuan, Yao'an and other places.

Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo in Yunnan, was shocked when he learned the news, and immediately mobilized people to participate in the counterinsurgency.

He mobilized Shiping Tusi Long Zaitian, Wei'e Tusi Wang Yangzu, Mengzi Tusi Sha Dingzhou, Ningzhou Tusi Lu Yongming, Jingdong Tusi Diao Xun and so on.

The coalition formed by these Tusi broke Wu Bikui's army and captured Wu Bikui alive and dedicated it to Mu Tianbo.

Mu Tianbo was naturally overjoyed, and set up a banquet in the Qianguo Mansion in Kunming City to reward the meritorious Tusi who participated in the counterinsurgency.

The situation in Yunnan is very special, and there are hundreds of toasts all over Yunnan. Although the imperial court also set up a government and a state in Yunnan, it was basically a decoration, and the real power was firmly controlled by these Tusi.

In comparison, the other two of the three southwestern provinces fared much better.

Guizhou was originally also a large number of Tusi, but during the Wanli period, Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Banzhou, launched a rebellion, and the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress it. In the end, the imperial court captured the sea dragon hoard, and the situation was changed to return to the river, which greatly increased the control of the imperial court over Guizhou.

As for Sichuan, it is similar, although southern Sichuan is still under the control of Tusi, but at least the vicinity of Chengdu Mansion and eastern Sichuan are all Liuguan in real power.

Only this Yunnan is like the self-reserved land of a lot of toasts. The imperial court simply had no chance of infiltration.

Therefore, the imperial court could only canonize the Duke of Qianguo and rely on the Mu family to guard Yunnan.

However, the army under the command of the Mu family itself is also limited, and if there is a rebellion, it is necessary to use the army of other Tusi to quell the rebellion. This raises the question that the Tusi who participated in the counterinsurgency will definitely annex the property and army of the rebel Tusi. In this way, the balance will be upset.

At a banquet, Ah Mizhou and Wang Lane Tusi Sha Dingzhou coveted the wealth of the Mu family, so they made up their minds to launch a rebellion and seize power.

It turned out that Sha Dingzhou was first the son of Wang Lane Tusi Shayuan, and later the reputation of Tusipu in Amizhou died, and his wife Wan remarried Sha Dingzhou. Ami Prefecture was also sent to Sha Dingzhou as Wan's dowry.

The merger of the two toasts has greatly increased their strength. In addition, Shadingzhou annexed a large amount of wealth and troops when quelling the Wubikui rebellion, and its strength can be described as soaring.

People's ambitions and desires are constantly expanding.

At first, Sha Dingzhou still felt complacent, after all, his strength could be ranked in the forefront of the whole Yunnan Tusi.

But after seeing the wealth of the Mu family, he suffered from pink eye.

Why can your Mu family be able to live in Yunnan and enjoy the glory and wealth, but I Sha Dingzhou can't become the lord of Yunnan?

Finally, after some careful planning, Sha Dingzhou raised troops to rebel.

It's a mess.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Mu Tianbo didn't have time to react at all.

Wu Bikui launched a rebellion in Wuding Mansion, which seems to be very close to Kunming, but in fact it is still one or two hundred miles, and Mu Tianbo has time to dispatch troops and generals to meet the enemy.

But Sha Dingzhou was a rebellion launched in Kunming City, and it was too late for Mu Tianbo to make a deployment.

However, it was said that Sha Dingzhou personally led the army to attack the Muguo Mansion and came to ask for his life.

In a hurry, Mu Tianbo had to flee in embarrassment with the official seal and iron coupons under the escort of several personal guards, and he didn't even have time to inform his relatives.

Mu Tianbo ran away very quickly, and finally settled down in Chuxiong Mansion.

At this time, Sha Dingzhou had already controlled the entire city of Kunming, claiming to be the general government, as if he was the supreme ruler of Yunnan.

When the news reached Nanjing, Zhu Cihong was naturally shocked.

In his impression, the Shadingzhou Rebellion should have happened around December, how could it be so much earlier?

Moreover, Zhu Cihong had warned Mu Tianbo more than once to be careful. But it seems that Mu Tianbo didn't take it to heart at all.

Zhu Cihong has done everything he can, and he can't directly say to Mu Tianbo that I am a traverser, Sha Dingzhou will be opposed, and Qing can be killed immediately, right?

Now it's okay, Shadingzhou has taken Kunming, and Yunnan is in chaos.

This made the originally good situation suddenly confusing.

Now there is Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and Shadingzhou in Yunnan is in turmoil, and the entire southwest is really not worry-free.

Zhu Cihong immediately summoned Lu Zhenfei, the secretary of the military department, to meet him and discuss countermeasures together.

"This is the urgent performance of Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, Lu Qing's family should also take a look."

Zhu Cihong handed over a book of music to the chamberlain and ordered him to send the urgent music to Lu Zhenfei.

Lu Zhenfei took the rush and unfolded it, and felt terrified every time he read a word.

After watching the whole recital, Lu Zhenfei only felt a little dizzy.

"Your Majesty, according to the Duke of Qianguo, Kunming has now been stolen by the traitor Sha Dingzhou. The situation is very bad. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded.

Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province and the military and political center in the absolute sense.

Sha Dingzhou controlled Kunming, and theoretically could command the whole Yunnan Tusi.

Fortunately, Mu Tianbo took the official seal and the hereditary Danshu iron coupon with him when he fled. If these two things also fell into the hands of Sha Dingzhou, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Now that the Duke of Qianguo is temporarily avoiding Chuxiong Mansion, there are Jincang soldiers to prepare Yang Weizhi for the time being, and there will be no problems for the time being. I summoned Lu Qing's family to ask the imperial court how to act. ”

For a long time, the Ming Dynasty ruled all parts of Yunnan, and rarely directly intervened in its internal disputes.

But now it is impossible for the imperial court not to intervene. If Shadingzhou continues to be allowed to make trouble, I am afraid that the minds of the people in the entire Yunnan and even the southwest will change.

Zhu Cihong remembered that the Shadingzhou Rebellion was originally put down in history after the Great Western Army entered Yunnan in the second year of Yongli, and before that, Shadingzhou had always been in Yunnan as a prestige.

Of course, Zhu Cihong would not tolerate such a situation, so the imperial court must send troops to fight.

It's just a question of who to send.

Lu Zhenfei pondered for a moment and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is a good policy to transfer Sichuan troops into Yunnan to quell the rebellion. ”

"Oh? Lu Qingjia might as well make it clearer, does this Sichuan army refer to Tusi soldiers or officers and soldiers? ”

Zhu Cihong raised his eyebrows and asked.

You must know that Sichuan and Yunnan border each other, and it is certainly the most appropriate to transfer troops from Sichuan to quell the Shadingzhou Rebellion.

But now the situation in Sichuan is not too good, Zhang Xianzhong has been entrenched in Chengdu Mansion, if the Sichuan army has a big move, it is difficult to ensure that Zhang Xianzhong will not take the opportunity to make trouble.

For Zhu Cihong, the Sichuan army can not take the initiative to seek war from Zhang Xianzhong in order to recover Chengdu, but Chongqing Mansion must be defended, this is the bottom line. If Chongqing is lost, Zhang Xianzhong can completely control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and he can attack Huguang down the river at any time.

Chongqing is like a stone wall, stuck between Huguang and Sichuan, which makes Zhang Xianzhong very uncomfortable.

And if this wall falls, it will be replaced by Zhu Cihong and the Ming court.
