Before the main forces of Huang Qi and Sha Dingzhou started the war, Chu Xiong's side had already started fighting.

The leader of the Han army in Chuxiong was called Gong Yi, the Ming Jinshi of the Eight Classics, and the official was in the Langzhong of the Nanjing Military Department. . . When Zhao Han sent troops to Zhejiang, Gong Yi felt that the situation was not good, and he was not reused in Daming, so he simply ran away and returned to his hometown in Yunnan in advance.

Back in Yunnan, Gong Yi gathered people to give lectures, devoted himself to spreading education, and his fame was getting bigger and bigger.

Mu Tianbo supported the establishment of the puppet emperor, made many expeditions, and invited Gong Yi six times before inviting Gong Yi to be an official. Sha Dingzhou stole Kunming, listened to the advice of the strategist Tang's guest, and also respected Gong Yi.

Gong Yi was obedient on the surface and invited himself to be the prefect of Chuxiong, because Chuxiong was very close to his home.

Sha Dingzhou needed to collect grain and grass, and Gong Yi also cooperated and persuaded the gentry of Chuxiong Mansion to give grain, which became more and more trusted by Sha Dingzhou.

Who would have expected that when the Datong army arrived in Yunnan, Gong Yi was the first to raise troops to respond. And this is Chuxiong Mansion, not far from Kunming, and the lethality of its backstab is tantamount to stabbing the chrysanthemum of Shadingzhou.

"Fuzun, the Lu clan and the Luo clan will lead the native soldiers to vote."

"Good!"

The rebel troops led by Gong Yi were all Han Chinese. The Lu clan and the Luo clan are both Yi Tusi forces.

There are many Yi ethnic groups in Chuxiong Mansion, including four major families: An, Long, Lu, and Luo, and these four families also intermarry each other. Now, the Lu family and the Luo family come to vote, which is equivalent to drawing a clear line with the An family and the Long family.

The strength of the Long clan is the strongest, and they are wavering, neither wanting to help Sha Dingzhou, nor unconditionally surrendering to the Datong army.

"Fuzun, take the opportunity to cut off the Yi Department surnamed Long and An!" Lu Huaichu suggested.

Gong Yi shook his head: "Don't act rashly." ”

Lu Huaichu's ancestral home was Jiangxi, and the Ming Dynasty implemented the salt opening system, and Yunnan is also one of the salt producing areas. Lu Huaichu's ancestors moved from Jiangxi to Kaizhong, Yunnan, and became the first Han dynasty in Yao'an, and the descendants also branched to Chuxiong.

The state has four people, and the industry and commerce live in two.

This sentence means that half of the Han people in Yunnan are engaged in industry and commerce.

Moreover, the vast majority of these foreign businessmen came from Jiangxi, followed by Guangdong, Hunan and Sichuan.

Jiangxi is the land of Zhao Han's Longxing, and the Yunnan businessmen whose ancestral home is Jiangxi naturally feel cordial - no matter what, they can take the opportunity to build relationships and keep their family business as much as possible, after all, many generals of the Datong Army are also from Jiangxi.

Sha Dingzhou frantically exploited the salt merchants of Yao'an, and he had already angered the merchants led by the Lu family.

Gong Yi raised troops in Chuxiong this time, and the reason why it was so smooth was also because of the help of Yao An salt merchants.

Lu Huaichu analyzed: "Sha Dingzhou's soldiers are strong, and it is impossible for us to confront him head-on. The four surnames of the Yi Department have now won two of them, and the remaining two are wavering. must send troops, first cut off a family, one to establish the prestige of our army, the second to stabilize the situation in Chuxiong, and the third to share the benefits for the coalition army! ”

Gong Yi thought about it repeatedly, and finally nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

So, Gong Yi released the news that he was going to Kunming, and took the Han army and the Yi native soldiers of the Lu and Luo families, and swaggered towards the east.

Long and An, surnamed Yi, completely relaxed their vigilance, and even wondered if they could take the opportunity to loot the city, anyway, the defenders in the city had gone to Kunming.

Gong Yi led his troops to retreat west at night, and rushed for dozens of miles to attack Long's Tusi.

As early as the fifth year of Jiajing, this place has been changed and returned to the stream. But the Yi people were not satisfied, all kinds of troubles, Jiajing had to get rid of the liuguan in the ninth year, and let the Yi Tusi come to be the prefect here.

Most of the time, the prefect of Chuxiong is surnamed Long.

Before the Long clan had time to gather troops, Gong Yi led the army to kill, and he couldn't resist in a hurry. The wealth accumulated by the Long family for more than 200 years was divided up by Gong Yi and others, and the Han army soldiers, accompanying merchants, and Lu Luo all had a share.

For a time, the morale of the coalition forces was greatly boosted.

An's Tusi was frightened, and hurriedly took the native soldiers to surrender and followed Gong Yi to attack Kunming.

At this moment, Huang Qi's army had approached Yiliang City, and Sha Dingzhou led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight.

Gong Yi led a group of rabble and soon arrived in Lufeng with chrysanthemums. The Han people in Lufeng City spontaneously responded to seize the city, and the inside and outside should join forces to kill and destroy the local soldiers defending the city.

Lufeng is both grams, and the front is Anning, and Kunming is dozens of miles northwest of Anning.

……

Yiliang Mountain.

As soon as he rode a fast horse and galloped, Sha Dingzhou was shocked when he heard the news, and muttered to himself: "Why did Lu Feng lose it so quickly? ”

It's simple, unpopular.

Although Sha Dingzhou attracted the Han gentry, it was only limited to the surrounding areas of Kunming. In farther places, they exploited the Han people excessively, and the Han people in various states and counties had long waited for the opportunity to rebel.

After thinking about it, Sha Dingzhou called his henchmen and instructed: "Go back to Kunming immediately and inform the master mother to carry the goods." Move straight to the south, go to Xinxing Prefecture (Yuxi) and wait, and I will go to the convergence after an ambush on my side. ”

The Mu family in Yunnan has three hundred years of savings, and there are countless gold and silver treasures, even if Sha Dingzhou wants to run away for his life, he has to take these treasures with him.

A few days later, the Datong army conquered Yiliang.

Sha Dingzhou did not go to the rescue, but guarded the lion's mouth. It is best to be able to ambush, but if the ambush fails, fight the Datong army in the mountains.

But Huang Qi's army seemed to be tired from the war, so he stayed in Yiliang City and did not leave, and Sha Dingzhou waited lonely in the valley.

"How far is it ahead?" Zhao Mingzheng asked.

Wang Feng replied: "Out of this valley, you can see Haimu Mountain. ”

Zhao Mingzheng said: "Before going out of the mountain, say a word and rest until dark before leaving." ”

The Datong Army has mountain troops, and there are local guides like Wang Feng, how can they fight honestly and head-on.

Those remnants of Yunnan also selected two hundred who were good at mountain climbing, and attacked with Wang Feng with the mountain troops.

Their march route was impassable by the baggage of the great army. More than 3,000 people brought dry food and drinking water, but they walked on the ground in the mountains, and directly crossed the mountains and headed for Kunming.

Estimating the time, Huang Qi's army set out and marched slowly to the lion's mouth.

Then, he stopped again and sent a search team to the valley to inquire about the situation. The search team killed and wounded six people, confirming that there were ambushes in the valley, and the two sides began to confront each other.

"General Mansion, there are only more than 10,000 people in the Han army, I will take the troops out to take the lead!" The Iron Tiger took the initiative to fight.

Li Achu also said: "General Mansion, gather all the soldiers of the big battalion outside the valley, we have 70,000 or 80,000 troops." There are only 10,000 or 20,000 Han soldiers, let's fight one of four or five, are you afraid that you won't be able to win this battle? ”

Sha Dingzhou shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient, the Datong army is not so easy to deal with." Our army held the valley, occupied the terrain advantage, and waited for the enemy to attack and die. At this time, don't be reckless, a fool will give up the favorable terrain and kill out. ”

These native generals were a little unhappy in their hearts.

Obviously, he has a lot of troops, so he should go out to fight as soon as possible, is it difficult to wait for the enemy to continue to increase his troops?

After a day of confrontation, Huang Mi still did not attack, but set up a large camp outside the valley.

Sha Dingzhou was worried about the safety of the rear, and he was afraid that the Mu family's wealth and goods would not leave. He called a few of his confidants and said, "The tiger is out of the valley tonight to attack the camp. Achu, you lead 5,000 troops and climb the mountains from the south to see if you can recapture Yiliang. If you can capture Yiliang, don't think about defending the city and burning the enemy's food and grass in the city! ”

The "rebels" in Chuxiong Mansion moved too fast, completely disrupting the deployment of Sha Dingzhou, and he knew that it was impossible to gain a foothold in Yunnan, so he had already made up his mind to lead his troops to join Vietnam.

But before going south, the Datong army must be beaten painfully, otherwise it will definitely be followed and pursued all the way.

That night, the Iron Tiger took the native soldiers and warriors to attack the Datong military camp at night in the dark. As soon as he got closer, he was discovered, hundreds of native soldiers were killed and wounded, and the iron tiger almost turned into a dead tiger.

The night attack failed, Sha Dingzhou could only wait, maybe a surprise attack on Yiliang over the mountains could burn the grain and grass of the Datong army.

……

Zhao Mingzheng and Wang Feng led the troops day and night, bypassing Minghu Lake (Yangzonghai) and heading straight to Kunming.

They rested in the mountains a few miles southeast of the city of Kunming, recovering their strength, while waiting for the dawn to steal the city.

However, something went wrong in the middle of the night.

Wan received a summons from Sha Dingzhou in the evening and immediately led people to load the treasures of Mufu.

Sha Dingzhou sent 5,000 soldiers back to escort him, but it was impossible for those soldiers to do such a thing as carrying goods, and there were not enough vehicles to transport goods.

So 5,000 Tusi soldiers went out to arrest the people as men's husbands, and collected cattle and vehicles from all over the city.

Although brutal and unreasonable at first, the Tusi soldiers were at least carrying out military orders. Gradually, it evolved into large-scale robbery, and the Tusi soldiers began to burn and loot in the city of Kunming.

A large number of the people of the city fled, and in the confusion, the city gates were opened, because the soldiers defending the city also went to loot.

"Commander, I met some people at the bottom of the mountain, saying that Kunming was in chaos." The sentinel who went down the mountain to inquire about the news came back with a few Han people.

Those people finally escaped from the city and were about to take refuge in the mountains, but they were caught on the way into the mountains.

Seeing Zhao Mingzheng at this moment, they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhao Mingzheng said: "Don't be afraid, fellow countrymen, we are the Datong Army, specially here to exterminate Shadingzhou. What's going on in the city of Kunming? ”

These civilians could not answer this question, and they still did not understand why the Tusi soldiers suddenly acted against the civilians.

But one thing is certain, there was a great chaos in the city of Kunming, and even the soldiers guarding the city gate had joined the ranks of robbery, and the people in front of them took advantage of the chaos to run out of the city gate.

"General, don't miss the opportunity, please send troops quickly!" Wang Feng was excited when he heard it.

Zhao Mingzheng said: "The whole army immediately set off and rushed to Kunming as fast as possible. ”

3,000 Datong troops and 200 remnants of Yunnan seized the opportunity to go down the mountain overnight. When I arrived two miles outside the city of Kunming, I saw the fire in the city, and I didn't know whether it was the Tusi soldiers who set the fire, or the gangsters in the city who took advantage of the fire to rob.

Mu family headquarters.

A Han official was begging bitterly: "Master, there is chaos in the city, please send an army to suppress it quickly!" ”

Wan Shi smiled and said, "If you don't let the soldiers have a good time, how can they be willing to go with me?" We have to leave Kunming anyway, and the chaos in the city has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, early tomorrow morning, I will take people to the south, and then you can put up a notice to reassure the people. ”

This woman is really a femme fatale, and she doesn't take the life of the people seriously at all.
