Chapter 27: The Southern Xinjiang Rebellion
Just after the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty began to neglect his government, he never went to court for 28 years from this moment.
It also led to the abandonment of the government and the arbitrary collusion of local officials, which led to the dissatisfaction of the people in some areas of the Ming Dynasty.
The previous rebellion of the West had just been pacified, and now the embers of the rebellion of the West have formed a sparkling momentum.
gradually ignited the rebellious anger in the SC Banzhou area of southern Xinjiang, and the person who ignited this wave of anger was the invincible SC Banzhou hereditary Tusi Yang Yinglong.
Since the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty began to neglect his administration, all local affairs were handled by local officials.
This also brought great challenges to the centralized system of the Ming Dynasty, because once the Ming Dynasty used unfavorable personnel, it would make some local officials behave arbitrarily.
And the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in this period is another obvious example, in the three major campaigns of Wanli, the battle of Banzhou belongs to the second campaign of His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.
Yang Yinglong was born in 1551 in Banzhou, SC, because the Ming Dynasty established the post of Propaganda Envoy in Banzhou.
Yang Yinglong actually inherited his father Yang Lie's position as the Banzhou Propaganda Department in 1571, so Yang Yinglong can be said to be the twenty-ninth local ruling official in the family who is in charge of the Banzhou region.
And in the middle of the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), Yang Yinglong was promoted to commander and crowned as a general.
And Yang Yinglong, who is bloodthirsty by nature, has ruled the Banzhou area for generations, and his power can be said to be intertwined.
Yang Yinglong, who has long harbored dissenting intentions, believes that the SC officials and troops are poor and weak, and most of the local officials are greedy for money and lustful.
Therefore, it is more contemptuous of all the governments in SC, and it has long dominated the party to occupy the great rivers and mountains of SC.
The places where they live are all carved dragons and phoenixes, and they dare to use a certain number of eunuchs in the places where they live.
In terms of local management, Yanran is a living earth emperor, and there is a bit of a country within a country, which is intriguing.
And Yang Yinglong is cunning and cunning in life, and he only likes to kill to establish his prestige in his life.
Therefore, there was a deep grudge in the SC area, and the place under Yang Yinglong's jurisdiction was really unbearable, so they rebelled one after another.
Later, Yang Yinglong listened to the slander of his favorite concubine, and actually killed his original wife and mother-in-law.
At this point, it also caused his wife and uncle Zhang Shizhao to sue Yang Yinglong for rebellion in the Ming court, and as a result, a farce broke up unhappily.
And when time flew to the eighteenth year of Wanli (1590), Ye Mengxiong, who was the governor of GZ at the time, actually followed to play for the Ming court.
The result of the performance is related to this Yang Yinglong, and in the content of the performance, it is said that Yang Yinglong has violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty in violation of various bad deeds.
He also reminded that the Ming court should definitely issue an order to investigate Yang Yinglong himself, and at this time due to the turmoil in the Songpan area.
The local soldiers of Banzhou were continuously transferred to other places for coordinated defense, so Li Hualong, who was the governor of SC at the time, asked the Ming court to temporarily exempt from inquiry.
This also allowed Yang Yinglong to escape under the protection of the SC governor, and it also further reflected the disagreement between the SC and GZ.
In the nineteenth year of Wanli, Ye Mengxiong, the governor of GZ, again raised an inquiry to the Ming court, and asked His Majesty the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to reassign the officials to govern.
It is suggested that the Ming Dynasty abolished the position of Tusi and replaced it with other official positions to replace the Tusi tradition that had accumulated shortcomings at the moment.
However, SC Governor Li Hualong once again sheltered Yang Yinglong, and suspected and reprimanded GZ Governor for being nosy.
However, the Ming court and His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty also specially issued an edict on this matter for GZ and SC provinces to survey together.
Yang Yinglong naturally likes the SC governor who has to shelter him in everything, and is unwilling to go to GZ Ye Mengxiong to accept any investigation and inquiry.
But in the twentieth year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong couldn't make his own claim, so he could only go to SC to be tried and beheaded according to the law of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
It was just as the Japanese were preparing to invade Korea, so the very cunning Yang Yinglong asked the Ming court to give him a chance to make meritorious atonements.
After waiting for the ransom to be paid, he personally led the troops to recruit the Japanese invaders, according to the emptiness of the Ming treasury at that time, it was the time to use the money.
In addition, after the Ming Dynasty experienced the Western Rebellion, the Ming soldiers needed to recuperate.
Therefore, in view of this situation, the Ming court and His Majesty the Wanli Emperor granted Yang Yinglong's request, and at this moment, Wang Jiguang, the governor who was the successor of SC, insisted on strictly mentioning the survey.
Yang Yinglong refused the instructions of the governor Wang Jiguang, so the Ming court and the Wanli Emperor were enraged by his capricious behavior at this moment.
Then he ordered Tongwen to issue a notice to encircle and suppress Yang Yinglong, and when Wang Jiguang personally led troops to encircle and suppress Yang Yinglong in the twenty-first year of Wanli.
After arriving at Loushan Pass, Yang Yinglong surrendered unexpectedly, and Wang Jiguang, the governor of SC who had no combat experience.
was secretly sent by Yang Yinglong to transfer troops to kill the general, resulting in the defeat of the SC officers and troops and countless casualties, and then Wang Jiguang was dismissed by the Ming court.
In the twenty-third year of Wanli, Xing Jue, the squire of the military department, ordered the ZQ prefect Wang Shi to order Yang Yinglong to listen to the investigation, and Yang Yinglong had no choice but to tie up and sacrifice Huang Yuan and other twelve people to wait for beheading.
In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong personally sent troops to raid Yuqing, Dahu, and Duba, burned the Caotang Second Division and Xinglong and other guards, and then surrounded Huangping and slaughtered the house of the chief of Chong'an. In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli.
He also personally instructed troops to plunder the Jiangjin and Nanchuan lands of SC, and after attacking GZ Hongtou, Gaoping, Xincun and other places, he actually dared to lead troops to attack Huguang 48 Tun.
It led to the change of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials to Yang Yinglong, and also caused the extreme anger of the Wanli Emperor.
So in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, GZ Governor Jiangdong and others once led 3,000 officers and troops to encircle and suppress, but their achievements were simply unbearable to even look at the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.
Because at this moment, Yang Yinglong ordered his brother Yang Zhaolong and his son Yang Chaodong to fight in Feilian Fort, and led to the fact that none of the 3,000 officers and soldiers survived and Jiang Dongzhi was dismissed by the Ming court.
A rebellion has formed in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Yinglong has officially raised the banner of rebellion.
And whether the rebellion can be quelled after the rebellion in the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty depends on how His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty chooses.
It is even more necessary to see how Lord Shi Xing (Liu Weihua), the secretary of the Ministry of War, will carry out further encirclement and suppression with the local officials and troops.
At this moment, the Japanese governor Konishi and his son-in-law, Yoshitomo Tsushima, the owner of Tsushima Island, made a final effort, but North Korea despised their view of peace.
Therefore, Joseon's submission of credentials to humiliate Toyotomi Hideyoshi also angered Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako State, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi also ordered Konishi Yukicho to lead 170,000 Wako to invade Korea.
Whether North Korea, which is about to defend its territory, depends on the fate of the Koreans and how His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea chooses.
