Chapter 537: Worries
In the eleventh year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty wiped out the Tian Tusi who had ruled the Sinan area of Sizhou for more than 800 years in one fell swoop, and after the Sizhou Sinan area was changed to the land and returned to the stream to establish the Eight Mansions, the hereditary Tusi lords of Guizhou were honest for more than 100 years.
The imperial court asked them to pay tribute to the country, and they sent troops to fight whoever they wanted, and the court never found an excuse to clean them up.
However, in the Wanli period, Yang Yinglong, who succeeded as the Xuanwei envoy of the Banzhou Propaganda Department, followed the official army in Sichuan to quell the rebellion of ethnic minorities in the Songpan area of Sichuan, and found that the armament of the Sichuan Guard was sluggish, and the official army was weak, and it was not as good as the Miao soldiers under his command.
Therefore, after quelling the rebellion in the Songpan area, Yang Yinglong's ambition began to swell, not only began to expand the palace in violation of regulations, carved dragons and phoenixes without authorization, and used eunuchs and eunuchs without authorization, but also began to disobey the imperial court's requisition, and the tribute that should be handed over was not handed over on time, and from time to time he had to send troops to loot the surrounding area.
This was of course quickly reported.
Emperor Wanli was naturally very unhappy when he heard this, but at that time, the imperial court was preparing to send troops to North Korea to fight against the Japanese invaders who invaded Korea, so he was more tolerant and restrained towards Yang Yinglong, and after Yang Yinglong confessed, the imperial court only punished the matter.
But the court's forbearance was exchanged for Yang Yinglong's inch.
In the twentieth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to North Korea, and at the same time recruited Yang Yinglong's Banzhou soldiers to fight in Korea.
On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty went all out to war the Japanese in Korea, and on the other hand, it mobilized a large army in the rear to fight against the Banzhou Zhuang Miao native soldiers under Yang Yinglong.
The war with the Japanese in Korea was fought for eight years, and during these eight years, the encirclement and suppression of Yang Yinglong did not stop, and it was also fought for eight years.
When the Korean rebellion was pacified, the main force of the Ming official army soon entered the southwest, and Yang Yinglong also ushered in his doomed fate.
In the summer of the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, Liu Wei, a famous general of the imperial court, led the army to break through the Loushan Pass, invaded Yang Yinglong's old nest Hailongtun, and then opened a killing ring, and the five divisions under the jurisdiction of the Banzhou Xuanwei Division and the seven rebellious Tusi were killed, and more than 20,000 people were killed.
Yang Yinglong himself committed suicide, and his brother Yang Zhaolong, son Yang Chaodong and other 69 members of his family were escorted to the Daming Jingshi, and all of them were executed.
After the victory of the Battle of Banzhou, one of the three major expeditions of Wanli, the Ming court took advantage of the situation to carry out land reform and return to the stream, and the Tusi family of Banzhou, which had been hereditary rule in Banzhou for more than 900 years, was cut down and rooted.
Since then, the imperial court changed the Banzhou Xuanwei Division to Zunyi, set up prefectures and counties, and changed the land to the stream, so that Banzhou or Zunyi was officially included in the direct jurisdiction of the Ming court.
After the Ming Dynasty pacified the Yang clan in Banzhou, it naturally made the Shuixian clan and the Shuidong Song clan in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River bounded by the Yachi River very uneasy.
However, at this time, because the imperial court occupied Guiyang and was in the middle of Shuixi and Shuidong, these two families did not dare to do anything wrong.
However, the Ming court leveled the Yang clan in Banzhou, and the practice of reforming the land and returning to the stream in Banzhou, which also greatly stimulated the leader of the Yi Tusi of the Yongning Xuanfu Division in Sichuan, which was adjacent to Banzhou, that is, the Yongning Xuanfu envoy Extravagant Chongming, and since then Extravagant Chongming began to give birth to the heart of anti-Ming self-reliance.
In the first year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court officials and troops were once again defeated by the hands of Liaodong Jianlu, and the situation in Liaodong deteriorated.
The Tujia white pole soldiers of the Qin Liangyu family of the Sichuan Shizhu Tusi were immediately ordered to go north, which made the imperial court lose its strong restraint on the luxury family of the Yongning Xuanfu Division.
Yongning Tusi Chongming, who was also in the list of conscriptions, with the support of his younger brother Hao Chonghui, his son Hao Yin, and his son-in-law Fan Long, collected a large army in the name of going north to Liaodong, and then quickly went north, captured Chongqing, and killed Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan who came to pay tribute, and the officials of Chongqing sent by the imperial court to kill all the sacrificial flags.
Subsequently, Yu Chongming called himself "King of Liang" (I don't know what the title of King of Liang is), and officially rebelled, and the entire southwest was also in chaos.
After Yu Chongming raised the rebellion, he tried to seize Sichuan, so not long after the capture of Chongqing, he personally led a large army to attack Chengdu and surrounded Chengdu.
Due to the fact that the troops in the southwest were almost exhausted at this time, the Yi soldiers of the luxurious family were invincible on the ground in Sichuan, and soon took almost the entire county in eastern Sichuan.
The Shuixi clan, which is close to the territory of Yongning Xuanfu Si's luxury family, because it belongs to the Yi clan with the luxury family, and has intermarried with the luxury family for generations, and has been a nephew and uncle for generations, so they soon rebelled together and sent troops to support the luxury family.
Song Wanhua, the leader of the Tusi of the Song clan in Shuidong, who had just been canonized by the imperial court, also saw this opportunity, quickly rebelled, and suddenly surrounded Guiyang.
The Shuidong Song clan and the Shuixi clan joined forces and besieged Guiyang for ten months, causing the city to run out of food and cannibalism.
At that time, the former governor of Guizhou, Li Zong, was impeached by the imperial history of the DPRK and China because of the ineffective suppression of the Shuixi Rebellion, and was dismissed from office, but he had not had time to leave the city, and the new Guizhou Wang Sanshan was on the way to take office, and Guiyang City was the time when the dragons were leaderless.
If it weren't for the Wudanghong Border Village, the official office of the Song Tusi in Shuidong, which was on the edge of Guiyang City, they would not have calculated so accurately.
The city was besieged in October, and the city of Guiyang became a hell on earth.
At that time, Yang Yumao, the commander-in-chief of Guizhou, personally swung his sword into battle and died outside the city, which shows the tragic situation of the battle at that time.
In the end, except for the inner city built by the Ming officials and soldiers with huge stones, the outer city of Guiyang, where a large number of ordinary people lived on all sides, all fell into the hands of the Song clan in Shuidong.
After Song Wanhua brought the Shuidong Tusi soldiers into the outer city, he wantonly slaughtered the Han people, gentry, merchants and ordinary people.
By the time Wang Sanshan, the new governor of Guizhou, arrived with reinforcements to relieve the siege, only more than 500 of the original Han households in the inner and outer cities of Guiyang had survived.
Since Yongle, the 200-year achievements of the sinicization of Guiyang Mansion have been lost.
The Song clan of Shuidong, from the Sui and Tang dynasties, entered the barbarian side to quell the chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to divide the territory, all dynasties were canonized, and ruled the twelve horse heads of Shuidong Buyi Miao and Lao Miao for thousands of years.
In the final analysis, his ancestors were also Han people, but they were barbarians and barbarians, and they intermarried with local natives for generations, and by this time in the Ming Dynasty, they had long ceased to regard themselves as Han people.
On the contrary, for the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of the pacification of the Sizhou Tian Rebellion, the Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to set up a political envoy in Guiyang, and moved the Shuidong Song Tusi official office, which originally took Guiyang as a hereditary territory, to the Wudanghong border village on the outskirts of Guiyang, and the Shuidong Song family has not been able to forget this hatred for 200 years.
Therefore, after occupying the outer city of Guiyang again, he vented the anger accumulated in the past two hundred years on the Han people inside and outside Guiyang City and the surrounding areas.
It is precisely because of this that in the third year of the Apocalypse, after the Ming official army recaptured the surrounding areas of Guiyang, the Shuidong Song clan was naturally retaliated against by the official army.
Song Wanhua, who had been the hereditary Shuidong Tusi for less than three years, was caught by the Ming official army, and he didn't even have a chance to surrender, and was directly beheaded on the spot.
Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, originally wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Song family in Shuidong, but it happened that the Shuixian clan led an army of 100,000 to attack Guiyang again, and Wang Sanshan led an army of 20,000 to fight, winning consecutive battles, all the way across the Yachi River, and entered the territory of the Shuixi clan, and fought until Bijie.
However, in the end, it failed because the army went too deep into the mountains and dense forests, and the supply of grain and grass in the rear was not enough.
On the way to retreat, the morale of the officers and soldiers was low because of the lack of food, and they repeatedly encountered the Tusi Yi soldiers who lived in the deep mountains and old forests and suffered heavy losses, and finally a large number of officers and soldiers collapsed, and Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, also died in the chaos.
After that, in order to stabilize the situation in Guiyang and the Shuidong region, the imperial court retained the Shuidong Song family and did not change them to the river.
However, after Song Siyin, the son of Song Wanhua, led the people to surrender, he was also unable to be canonized by the imperial court because of the crimes of the Shuidong Song clan in Guiyang.
All these situations, Zhu Xieyuan is clear.
When the Lu'an Rebellion broke out, Zhu Xieyuan was the political envoy of Sichuan, and he temporarily recruited troops to defend Chengdu, and then waited until the source of the imperial court's official army, defeated Hao Chongming, captured his brother Hao Chonghui, and drove Hao Chongming, Hao Yin and others back to the Yongning Mountains in eastern Sichuan (around Xuyong, Sichuan in later generations).
After the death of Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, he also succeeded Wang Sanshan, beat the Shuixi clan back to the old nest of Shuixi, and cooperated with the officials and troops in Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, and finally surrounded on all sides and captured the Yongning Xuanfu Division.
After beating extravagantly, Chongming's father and son could only flee into Shuixi, and attached themselves to their nephew Shuixi Xuanzhi Anwei and Shuixi Xuanwei Division to know An Bangyan, and finally forced to surrender with An Bangyan.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Xieyuan's old mother happened to die of illness at this time, so Zhu Xieyuan could only go home to mourn, then the Extravagant Rebellion would have been completely pacified, and there would have been no later rebellion.
It is precisely because of the understanding of the ins and outs of the Lu'an Rebellion before and after, and the role played by the Shuidong Song clan in it, that in June of the first year of Chongzhen, after Zhu Xieyuan recovered, he returned to Guiyang as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the first target he aimed at was the Shuidong Song clan.
If it was originally in the Apocalypse year, Zhu Xieyuan did not have the emperor's Shang Fang Sword, that is to say, when he did not have the full power given by the emperor, he did not dare to ignore the wind comments, let go of his hands and feet, and work hard, then at the end of the first year of Chongzhen, when he repeatedly received the emperor's secret decree to let him act cheaply, he no longer had anything to worry about.
The land of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the surrounding area of Guiyang in later generations, was the hinterland of the whole Guizhou.
If this place is not sorted out first, not to mention that there is no fixed source of food and salary for the counterinsurgency army gathered around Guiyang, just talking about the existence of the unstable factor of the Shuidong Song clan can make the army march into Shuixi, and there will be worries from time to time.
