Chapter 542: Dragon Field Nine Stations

Whether it is leveled or beneficial, it is all a city under the jurisdiction of Usa Province.

In the course of many years of continuous warfare, these cities have changed hands several times between the official army and the rebel army, today they belong to the official army, and tomorrow they belong to the rebel army, not only the population has fled countless times, but even the city is dilapidated.

After the second rebellion of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan, although the momentum was fierce at the beginning, and these cities were quickly taken away from the official army, they were limited by their lack of financial, material and manpower resources, and they were not able to renovate these outlying strongholds one by one.

This is something that even the government and military in Sichuan and Yunnan cannot do, let alone the Shuixi region, which is already poor and bad.

Therefore, Lin Zhaoding, who was full of soldiers, sent troops north after the first month, and in mid-February, he successively took Pingyi (later Yunnan Fuyuan) and Zhanyi (later Yunnan Xuanwei), and at the end of February, the troops came outside Wusa City.

After Lin Zhaoding surrounded Wusa, he sent a letter to persuade him to surrender, and half a month later, the defenders of Wusa Mansion City, who had run out of food and cooking, chose to open the door and surrender under the leadership of An Chongsheng, the prefect of Wusatu.

Ahn Chong-sung was the son of Ahn Hyo-ra, the former prefect of Usatu, who was a powerful general after Ahn Bang-yan's first rebellion.

However, the An clan to which An Xiaoliang and An Chongsheng belong belong to the distant relatives of the Shuixian clan.

An Xiaoliang followed An Bangyan to rebel together, and was finally defeated and killed at the end of the third year of the Apocalypse, and among his many sons, only An Chongsheng was left.

An Chongsheng, who had no chance to inherit the family business, was found by An Bangyan after An Bangyan rebelled for the second time and seized the Usa Mansion, taking over the position of his father An Xiaoliang Usa Tu Governor.

However, An Chongsheng did not have the determination and will to swear allegiance to the Shuixian clan like his father An Xiaoliang, and at the same time, he did not have the prestige and ability of his father An Xiaoliang to lead the army to fight against the official army.

When Pingyi and Zhanyi were besieged by Lin Zhaoding and his deputy general Long Zaitian (the leader of the Tusi of the Yi nationality in Shiping, Yunnan), An Chongsheng guarded the city of Wusa, and did not dare to send troops to rescue, and sat back and watched the two places of Pingyi and Zhanyi, which were broken by the few soldiers, to be captured by the official army.

When Lin Zhaoding, the general soldier of Yunnan, and Long Zaitian, the deputy general, joined the troops and came to the outside of Wusa Mansion, no one came to rescue him.

Ordered to lead a heavy army to sit in the town, in the center of Yongning and Wusa, and jointly guard the west line of Shuixi An Bangyan's younger brother An Alun, first heard that Wusa was besieged, and was ready to rescue, but suddenly news came from the north, saying that Hou Liangzhu, the general soldier of Sichuan, led a large army south to Yongning and Linzhou.

At this critical juncture, the frightened Ann Alun hesitated.

After three days of planning, An Alun finally made up his mind to rescue the Yongning Xuanfu Division, which had fewer troops but a more important position.

However, soon after he led his army north, news came from the north that it was Yu Chonghui, who was guarding Yongning, who had abandoned the city and fled to Lin Zhou.

In desperation, An Alun had no choice but to retreat, and then rerouted to Lin Zhou.

The terrain of eastern Sichuan and northwest Guizhou is the same, with high mountains and dense forests, and taking the army in the wrong direction is a thousand miles.

Yongning is in the west, Lin Zhou is in the east, from the road to Yongning, and the road through the water west to Lin Zhou, but there are several mountains in between.

Climbing the mountains with a large army was not a joke in ancient times, and no one dared to try it easily.

Shui'an clan rebelled for so many years, countless fierce generals died in battle, but An Bangyan's younger brother An Alun has survived to the present, not because of how good his martial arts are or how resourceful, but because An Bangyan has never put him in an important position.

The reason why An Bangyan did this was, of course, because he knew that although his younger brother was loyal and reliable, he was mediocre in intelligence and did not have the talent to kill decisively.

An Alun was captured by the officials and soldiers but was not killed, on the one hand, because he was An Bangyan's younger brother and belonged to the kind of captive who was a strange commodity, but on the other hand, it was also because of his mediocre intelligence and never caused major casualties to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, so he did not form an inextricable mortal enmity with the officials and soldiers.

is such a person, after An Bangyan rebelled for the second time, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

The reason for this is that after many years of brutal war, most of the generals under the command of Shuixian have died in battle, and since "there is no general in Shu", he can only "Liao Hua be the vanguard".

On the way north to support Yongning, An Alun heard that Yu Chonghui had abandoned Yongning and retreated to Lin Zhou, so he immediately changed the front army to the rear team, and the rear team became the front army, returned to Zhenxiong by the same way, and then set off again and rushed to Lin Zhou along another road.

As a result, halfway through, he heard that Lin Zhou had been broken, and he fled back to Shuixi.

At this moment, Ann Arun had nothing to hesitate about, and immediately led his army back to prepare to go south to rescue Usa.

As a result, before the troops were dispatched, they had already received the news sent from Wusa, and An Chongsheng, who was entrusted by the Shuixi clan, actually led the army to surrender!

An Alun, who was shocked again, saw that Yongning and Lin Zhou in the north had been lost, and Wusa in the south had also been lost, and the Zhenxiong he was stationed in suddenly became a lonely city where the Shuixi Xuanwei Division broke into Sichuan.

At this time, what An Alun thought of was not to quickly send troops to set up points to build a city at the dangerous passes in the north and south, and then renovate the city defense to defend it, but to leave the Mangbu Tusi Mangbu Manglu who guarded the family lineage of Shuixi An, and led the Shuixi division to stay behind, and he led the main force to retreat to Bijie.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, Bijie was already a prosperous place.

Because Bijie in this era was an important joint point of post road traffic in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, and it was an important station among the so-called Longchang Nine Posts in Shuixi at that time.

The reason why Mrs. Xiangxiang of the Shuixian family is famous is because she opened up the Dragon Field Nine Stations.

And the reason why Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided to stay in Shuixi was also because Mrs. Xiangxiang personally assured him to open up the Longchang Nine Posts to ensure that the post road between Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan was unimpeded.

At the beginning of the Great Tomorrow, Ma Ye, the first commander of the Guizhou Metropolitan Command Envoy, wanted to eradicate the Tusi forces that actually ruled Guizhou, and the first target was selected to start, which was the Great Tusi Shui Xi'an Clan.

And at that time, it was the legendary lady Xiangxiang who was in power in Shuixi.

Ma Ye figured out his intentions, provoked the Shuixian clan in every way, hoping to force the An clan, and then led the army to suppress it, so as to make a military contribution to pacify Guizhou.

However, Mrs. Xiangxiang restrained the 48 Dongmen of Shuixi, but she was not fooled, and finally went north to Nanjing in person to find Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to sue the emperor.

It was in the process of entering Beijing to sue the imperial court that Mrs. Xiangxiang understood the meaning of the imperial court's eagerness to open the Yunnan-Guizhou road, accepted Taizu's request in person, and promised to open the Shuixi region to the imperial army, from Guiyang to the west to the border of Sichuan and Yunnan, open mountains and pave roads, build nine post stations, and help the imperial court open up the roads between Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan.

This is the origin of the so-called Dragon Field Nine Stations.

Longchang Jiuyi, starting from the Longchang Station north of Guiyang, is the Longchang Station where Wang Yangming made a Longchang enlightenment when he was a post in Guizhou.

And the end point of the nine stations of Shuixi Longchang in the Ming Dynasty was in Bijie in Shuixi.

At that time, after Bijieyi, Sichuan to the west and Yunnan to the south, connecting the three provinces in one place was the most important.

Of course, after many years of war after the rebellion of the Shuixian clan, the Longchang Jiuyi has long been destroyed, people and horses are not passable, and the goods are not passable.

Its rise is also vigorous, and its decline is also sudden, and it has rapidly declined in just a few years.

In this now increasingly dilapidated Bijie City, An Alun encountered the remnants of Extravagant Chonghui who had fled from defeat.

Knowing that Lin Zhou, the gateway to the northwest of the water, had also been lost, An Alun, who was relied on by An Bangyan as his arm, immediately left a large army to garrison Bijie, and then together with Hao Chonghui, he crossed the mountains and mountains and rushed back to Muoge Mountain City, the ruling center of the Shuixian clan.
