Ma Jinzhong did this out of helplessness, because the letter written by his younger brother Ma Jinde, as well as the letter from Ma Shouying brought by Sun Ang, made him realize that the situation in the northwest was about to change.

In his opinion, it has been more than half a year since the Taozhou mutiny, and the reason why the Hui generals who mutined in various places killed Shangguan and killed so many Han people, but now they can still be in charge of their own self-appointed commanders, is because the officials and soldiers have not had time to take care of them and have not really freed up their hands to clean them up.

When they mutinied, the army of the Jin State after the capture was raging Xuanda, and the north of the Ming Dynasty was suffering from an unprecedented crisis.

Immediately afterwards, those thieves who took advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to meet the Jianju and fled back to northern Shaanxi, and took advantage of the chaos provoked by the mutiny of the Taomin border army, they rushed into Gansu, and took the opportunity to gather a large number of Han people who had no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the ground, and then grew rapidly again, and happened to be in the middle of the land west of the Taomin River and the official army of the imperial court.

Ma Jinzhong knew that if it weren't for the fact that the northwest land had formed such a situation in their favor by chance, they would have already faced the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.

At the beginning, the imperial court has never mobilized a large army to suppress it, so that Ma Jinzhong and these people still have the hope of recruiting peace in their hearts, hoping that one day when the imperial court will free up their hands and prepare to encircle and suppress and clean up the thieves again, these mutinous generals can rely on the fact that they are in the rear of the thieves and are useful for blocking the thieves' westward advance, so that they can obtain the recruitment of the imperial court, and they may even make some contributions.

But now it seems that all these assumptions are wishful thinking!

The reason why the situation in the northwest has been able to remain relatively stable after the chaos is entirely because the current imperial court has never really taken action.

Ma Jinzhong himself was born in the border army of the imperial court, and the situation of the border army has also improved in the past two years, at least the problem of arrears of pay has been greatly alleviated.

This shows that the financial situation of the imperial court is improving, and the imperial court is not really incapable of suppressing the rebellion in the northwest.

As long as the imperial court makes up its mind, the situation in the northwest will change.

Now that the imperial court has taken action, the situation in the entire northwest will inevitably change dramatically.

That night, Ma Jinzhong thought a lot, not only did he think of giving up stability, but he even thought of giving up Hezhou for a while.

He is now glad that he sent his family in Hezhou City to Hexi in advance more than half a month ago, and now Hezhou City can be the best to defend, but he can't keep it, he can also pat his ass and leave, anyway, Hexi is big, with the gold and silver that he grabbed before, and with the people and horses in his hands at the moment, where can he not stand on his feet!

After Ma Jinzhong figured these things out, he didn't take the gains and losses of Anding County so seriously, but he paid more attention to keeping the people and horses in his hands at the moment.

Ma Jinzhong's thoughts were not wrong, with Sun Ang's fast horse leaving, from Pingliang to Qinzhou (Tianshui) to Longnan, the situation in the entire southern part of Gansu was changing rapidly.

Let's say that more than two months ago, the Trilateral Governor's Office issued a letter to Mu Suman, which very clearly gave the Mu Su Barbarians in Ningxia and Gansu a month, asking them to either destroy the Fanjing Fan Temple and change to the Han custom Han system, or pack up their belongings and get out of Ganning from now on.

After this expulsion order was issued, a month passed quickly, and the officers and troops under the command of the trilateral governor's palace also did what they said, and then sent troops to various places in accordance with Yuan Chonghuan's order:

He Huchen led the Ningxia town army from the Ningxia Weicheng soldiers to the west;

Zhang Jiamo, the chief military officer of Gansu Town, led the guest troops of his department to march from Huamachi to the southwest of Guyuan;

And Zhou Yuji in Guyuan City also began to lead the army to Pingliang in the southeast.

In this way, the three-way army under the command of the Trilateral Governor's Office is now in charge of one side, in the direction of their own demarcation, step by step, slowly advancing, after more than a month, the Musuman who refused to move westward encountered along the way was swept cleanly, and all the Musuman Jingtang Temple encountered along the way was burned.

At the end of May and the beginning of June, Zhang Jiamo's soldiers first came to Jingningzhou City (later Jingning County, Gansu), and then Zhou Yuji also led the army to seize the Guxiao Pass in the north of Pingliang from Lin Chengcheng, and Lin Chengcheng lost his armor and fled back to Pingliang in embarrassment.

At the same time, the courtiers of King Wu Anbo, who had been stationed in Qingyang, finally led the 3,000 battalions of cavalry under his command that had been supplemented with a large number of armaments and materials, and together with the 3,000 Qingyang soldiers, a total of more than 10,000 horse infantry troops, marched westward to seize Zhenyuan, the last barrier between Pingliang and Qingyang.

Liu Xiyao, who was ordered to garrison the town for King Gao Yingxiang to guard the back road, saw that the official army was menacing, and he actually fled with his subordinates when he heard the news, leaving the official army with an empty city.

After the courtiers of King Wu Anbo successfully obtained Zhenyuan, he sent several of his fierce generals Hu Dawei, Fierce as Tiger, and Wu Sangui, each with his elite men and horses to the west to investigate the periphery of Pingliang City, which made Pingliang City panic overnight.

In addition to this series of changes on the northern front, the eastern and southern fronts in charge of Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou, Shaanxi Chief Military Officer Wang Chengen, and the former Lintao Town Chief Military Officer Dong Zhiyi, who guarded Hanzhong, also had movements.

Hong Chengchou personally led his subordinates, who had all been reorganized into elite Fubiao of the musket battalion, and went north from Xi'an Prefecture to Pi County, where they joined Yang Shien's troops of the Shaanxi Army, who were originally stationed in the area of Pi County.

Wang Chengen, the chief military officer of Shaanxi Province, who had been stationed in Fengxiang Mansion, led the Shaanxi town army under his command to enter Tianshui, the capital of Qinzhou Prefecture, along Weishui West.

Similarly, Dong Zhiyi, the chief soldier and Han Yiliang, the chief soldier who moved to Hanzhong with the main force of the official army from Lintao Town, finally waited for the order to march westward, and sent Pan Yunteng, a general under his command, to lead his troops as the vanguard, and sent troops from Jiezhou (Zhili Prefecture, later Longnan City) to the west along the Bailongjiang River, so that Ding Guodong, the leader of the Musuman mutiny who had been the commander of the self-proclaimed Luzhou, gathered his troops and retreated to Luzhou on all fronts.

After Pan Yunteng successfully led the army to occupy Xigucheng (Zhouqu County, Longnan in later generations), Dong Zhiyi personally led the main army of Hanzhong Town with more than 7,000 people to enter Jiezhou, and the situation in the entire Longnan also changed.

Dong Zhiyi, the former chief soldier of Lintao Town, and Han Yiliang, the imperial historian of the supervising army, have been uneasy since the Taozhou Mutiny, worried that the imperial court will punish them for this.

Because the generals of Zhao Dayin who participated in the Taozhou mutiny were all the generals of Lintao Town under their governance, although they were all Musu barbarian officials, but after all, they were once under their command, and now they have launched a series of mutinies, according to the past rules of the Ming Dynasty, one of them is the chief soldier, the other is the supervising army, and no one can escape the fate of being disposed of.

Therefore, in order to prove their innocence, the news of the Taozhou mutiny reached Hanzhong, and the two of them sent Pan Yunteng, the Hanzhong guard, to garrison Luoyang, the westernmost part of Hanzhong, that is, on the border of Shaanxi and Gansu, and on the other hand, they wrote three times respectively, asking for orders to lead the troops back to Lintao to quell the rebellion.

However, their petitions were all rejected.

The first time was rejected by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, the second time was rejected by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, and the third time, it was the supervision of the army Yushi who used secret folding channels to bypass Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan and directly wrote to Emperor Chongzhen, but it was also vetoed.

At first, they thought that this was the imperial court going all out to deal with the large-scale invasion of Jianyu, and preparing to recruit mutiny and rebellion in Taozhou, Luozhou, Hezhou and other places.

It wasn't until the thieves in northern Shaanxi invaded Pingliang, Gansu, and the trilateral governor's office issued a letter to the Musu barbarians, that they knew that Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing, was brewing to eradicate the trouble of Mu Subarian in the northwest borderland, and from then on they had a little in their hearts.

Since May, a large number of Ordos Mongols from the northern Hetao have driven their sheep to the border of Hanzhong Province to stay overnight.

Dong Zhiyi, the chief soldier in Hanzhong, and Han Yiliang, the imperial historian of the supervising army, did their best in everything from receiving and escorting to the camp setting and dietary arrangements in order to make meritorious contributions.

At the end of May and the beginning of June, the migration team of more than 40,000 people was finally sent out of the territory of Hanzhong Prefecture.

After this was done, they soon received a military order from Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, ordering them to immediately march into Jiezhou, forcing the Musu barbarian army and people entrenched in the area of Luzhou to shrink westward.

By the middle of June, nearly 100,000 officers and troops surrounding the eastern, southern, and northern lines in southern Gansu had all achieved their respective goals in accordance with the strategy set by Li Banghua, the marquis of Dongsheng, the minister of military aircraft, and everyone at Huamachi.

The Musu Barbarian Rebellion in the northwest has finally reached the time to solve it.
