On the morning of the second day of the victory at Exiangling, the head of Extravagant Chongming, after being confirmed by the detour to Guiyang, was personally taken by Wang Yinghua, the governor of Guizhou, and sent to the official and military camp under Exiangling.

Zhu Xieyuan, who was overjoyed, summoned all the officers and generals on the front line of Exiangling, as well as the Tusi generals from all over the country who followed the officials and troops to suppress Shuixi, to gather in his own big tent of the Chinese army.

While re-examining his previous promises to the soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan ordered the heads of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan to be placed on a long case together, so that all the officers and generals, especially those Tusi generals from Yunnan and Guangxi, came to watch.

After the generals watched, they passed on the heads of the battalions.

At the same time, Zhu Xieyuan also made his own position the Wu Zhiwang of the Zuo Shilang of the Nanjing Military Department, and took the Guizhou Patrol Imperial History Wang Yinghua to record the list of meritorious soldiers and fallen soldiers in the official and military camps of various departments under the Goose Xiang Ridge.

That night, Zhu Xieyuan worked hard to write a book of 10,000 words all night, and wrote a 10,000-word book with suggestions such as the before and after of the invasion of Shuixi since April, the merits and demerits, and the next step to reward meritorious soldiers in Shuixi.

Early the next morning, a team of capable personnel was dispatched, with the heads of the two people, who were Zhu Zhu and Hao'an, and quickly rode north, walked Xuyong, crossed Luzhou, passed through Chongqing, and then went down the river to Wuchang, and then went ashore from Wuchang to the north, all the way to Beijing to report the victory.

Historically, the slower the funeral, the better, and the sooner the good news, the better.

It usually takes about two months to go north to Xuyong from the Exiang Ridge near Chishui, and then to Jingshi.

If you keep walking by water, you won't be able to get down for two months.

But this time, Zhu Xieyuan told him that the people who delivered the good news must be fast.

So this time, the people and horses who delivered the good news went all the way to change horses, land and water, and after going north from Wuchang, they traveled north at an expedited speed of 600 miles, and set off on the last day of June, and on the first day of August, they sent the good news of the head of Lu'an and the pacification of the southwest into the Beijing Division, and sent it to the Chongzhen Emperor, who had been looking forward to the victory in the southwest for a long time.

On the basis of the original history, it was not until mid-to-late August that the two of them were defeated and killed in Exiangling.

Hao Chongming died in the chaos, and it is not clear who died in whose hands, and some say that he committed suicide in defeat.

And who the credit for beheading An Kuniyan belongs to is even more of a confused lawsuit.

Hou Liangzhu, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan army, insisted that it was his generals who killed An Bangyan, but he could not say who it was.

And Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, insisted that the person who beheaded An Bangyan was his own general, Zhao Guoxi.

Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, is a capable general under Zhu Xieyuan, so he is close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon, and his statement has been accepted by Zhu Xieyuan.

Therefore, in history, Zhu Xieyuan credited Xu Chengming and his Guizhou army with the great merit of getting rid of An Bangyan, but this move not only caused Hou Liangzhu's resentment against Zhu Xieyuan and Xu Chengming, but also soon caused a huge controversy before the government and the opposition.

Sichuan governor Yin Tonggao, political envoy Zhang Lun and others all sided with Hou Liangzhu and wrote letters attacking Zhu Xieyuan, saying that Zhu Xieyuan indulged in burning, killing and looting, favoring Guizhou soldiers and treating the Sichuan army harshly, turning a blind eye to the merits of the Sichuan army, blindly protecting Xu Chengming, and so on.

At the same time, because Zhu Xieyuan killed too much in Shuixi, a large number of Qingliu imperial historians above the court listened to the wind and rain, and wrote to impeach Zhu Xieyuan, asking Emperor Chongzhen to send someone to ask Zhu Xieyuan to blame him.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen in history was somewhat distracted and did not remove Zhu Xieyuan on the spot.

However, after the defeat and death of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan, because of the huge controversy caused by the competition between Hou Liangzhu and Xu Chengming, most of the generals who pacified the Luxury Rebellion at that time did not receive the rewards they deserved.

Zhu Xieyuan retained the position of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and governor of Guizhou, but did not get the title, and Emperor Chongzhen only gave him an honorary position of Zuozhu State, allowing him to continue to sit in Guiyang and stabilize the southwest.

Other meritorious generals, such as Qin Liangyu, Hou Liangzhu, Xu Chengming and others, only gave honorary rank promotions, but did not receive real rewards.

It is not normal in the history of the Ming Dynasty to make such a great contribution as quelling the rebellion of luxury, but no one has been knighted because of it.

Moreover, various controversies between the government and the opposition about Zhu Xieyuan also led to Zhu Xieyuan's later change of attitude towards the Shuixi clan.

In the spring of the third year of Chongzhen in history, Zhu Xieyuan, who was overwhelmed by various impeachments, finally accepted the surrender of the people in order to stabilize the situation in the southwest as soon as possible.

And Emperor Chongzhen had to pinch his nose for various reasons and continue to retain this Shuixi Tusi family that had been in rebellion for nearly ten years.

As a result, after a few years passed, Zhu Xieyuan died in office, and the Shuixian clan rebelled again.

Although these subsequent rebellions were all the kind that swirled and disappeared, and did not have much impact, every time the Jianyu invaded or the north was turbulent, the Shuixi clan would make a fuss in the southwest, which really involved a lot of energy in the Ming court.

And all these historical lessons are what the current Chongzhen Emperor has tried to avoid from the beginning.

Fortunately, this time Hou Liangzhu's subordinates captured An Bangyan, and it was Hou Liangzhu's son Hou Tianxi who attacked, which can be said to be undisputed.

And the person who killed Extravagant Chongming in this life turned out to be the famous heroine Qin Liangyu, which is even more indisputable.

This is in the hands of the current Emperor Chongzhen.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the group of founding fathers who were personally canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, were basically cleaned up before Zhu Yuanzhang died.

Most of today's noble families started with Ming Chengzu Zhu Di by relying on Jingnan military exploits.

This group of noble families followed their uncles against their nephews, and morally speaking, it was not very tenable.

And after being sealed, it became corrupted quickly, and in the Chongzhen period, he became a representative without responsibility.

Before, Emperor Chongzhen found many excuses and excuses, and almost wiped out the group of nobles from the north and south who surrendered to the enemy more than ten years later.

The purpose of doing this is to support a new group of noble families to replace those noble families that are becoming more and more decaying.

Because whether it is a great victory in the battle against Jianjiao, or a great victory in the suppression of thieves and the suppression of the Tusi rebellion, such military feats are always better than Jingnan's military feats.

Taking advantage of such a great victory, it is much more reliable to divide a group of new military nobles than to force a big one from the smelter and to find someone from the corrupt and corrupted noble families of the Jingnan Army to reuse.

Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan's good news of Guizhou reached Beijing, and for Emperor Chongzhen, it was tantamount to someone sending a pillow when he was sleeping.

In his good news to the emperor, Zhu Xieyuan fulfilled his promise to the generals of the Guizhou front.

For the front-line generals who had captured the heads of Hao Chongming and An Bangyan, Zhu Xieyuan fulfilled his promise and asked Emperor Chongzhen to confer on them the title of knight.

For all the meritorious soldiers who died in battle and participated in the war, Zhu Xieyuan also did what he said, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to cut the land for them.

Zhu Xieyuan wrote in the recital requesting the reward for meritorious deeds: "The imperial army suppressed Shuixi, and after eight years of conquest, the Yi Miao thief village burned and plundered, and there was not one in the Dingkou of Shuixi. There are no less than 18,000 hectares of land inside and outside the water, and now they are all barren, and it is a pity to abandon them.

"And the soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are willing to leave their descendants in a land of size, so I ask Your Majesty the Emperor to allow the officers and men of the three armies of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan to cite the precedent of Liaodong and Dongjiang Border Towns, exchange military merits for land, and cut this new land to grant it.

"All the soldiers have the land and live in peace, know what to struggle, in the future, His Majesty the Emperor has a life, all the soldiers and their descendants will serve the battlefield, and the land of Shuixi will also be self-assured, so that Shuixi and even the southwest can be settled and forever safe!"
