After driving his wife and children into Dianchi Lake and drowning, King Liang ordered people to light a fire and burn his dragon clothes, jade belts, seals and other items.

"After the death of this king, you will also burn the body of this king, and let my soul return to immortality. The ashes are scattered into the Dianchi Lake, so that people do not get the body of the king to be dedicated to the Ming army, and let the king be humiliated. Then he instructed the cowardly Xue Dao, who had guarded him for many years:

"After that, you can take as much of the king's goods as you like, and each of them will flee for his life."

Several cowardly Xue wept and said: "The villain is willing to accompany the prince to his death, and continue to serve the prince in the underworld." ”

"Okay, it's good to have this heart." King Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "But it's better to live well, and then sacrifice to this king every New Year's holiday." ”

The cowardly Xue couldn't stop crying, but he refused to agree.

"You just listen to the prince, do you still want to disobey him at this time?" Green and Dud wiped away tears. The two of them have a plan in their hearts, if King Liang dies, these cowardly Xue with developed limbs and simple minds don't know what to do next, so they can only listen to the two of them.

"As for the two of you," I didn't expect the prince to have other arrangements for them. King Liang glanced at the two of them and said, "I really can't bear you, so I'll go to death with this king." ”

"Huh? I...... Uh......" The two of them panicked, trying to say that we don't want to die, but they couldn't say it. After holding back for a long time, Lu Erfang sighed: "I, I want to burn paper for the prince during the New Year's holidays......"

"Make a land and water dojo for the prince for the minister." Dade chimed in.

"No need, this king wants you to die even more, if there are no loyal ministers to accompany me to death, I will have no face in the underworld." King Liang looked at the two with a smile.

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life...... the two of them couldn't hold back at all, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"This king has fallen to this point, it is all you traitors who are unconscious, and you still have the face to beg for mercy?!" King Liang glanced at the two of them coldly, and said disdainfully:

"If you are willing to accompany this king to his death, I will spare your life. Now, hmph, let's die with this king. ”

"We are willing to accompany the prince to death!" The two hurriedly shouted.

"Okay, that's what you said, this king didn't force you." King Liang sneered, and with one look, the four cowardly Xue rushed up and tied them up and gaged them.

King Liang ignored the two of them who were struggling, and looked around, looking for a place to die, and finally his eyes fell on a grass hut not far away, which should be a place for fishermen to take shelter from the rain.

"The emperor must not die in the wilderness," said King Liang, as he walked towards the thatched hut.

When I went in, it was quite clean, and a thick beam was enough for the three of them to hang themselves.

"It's a great place." King Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Give this king a ride." ”

The cowardly Xue tied up the three upper buckles with tears, first hung Lu Er and Dade on both sides, and the chief of the guard prostrated on the ground to use as a stool for King Liang.

King Liang, supported by the two cowardly Xue, stepped on the back of the chief of the guard, grabbed Bai Aya with both hands, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Emperor Xian, the ministers are only a catty, and they have come to follow you!" ”

As he spoke, he put his neck on the white silk, kicked his legs, and hanged himself.

~~

The next day after King Liang hanged himself, that is, on the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the fourteenth year of Hongwu.

Under the leadership of Mu Ying, the vanguard of the Ming army arrived at Dabanqiao in Kunming County, and the right of King Liang, Guan Fubao, led the civil and military forces of Chicheng to surrender.

On the 24th, Mu Ying and Jin Chaoxing marched into Chicheng with their entire army, ending the Yuan Dynasty's 130-year rule over Yunnan.

This was also the first time since the Tianbao Rebellion that the Han dynasty resumed direct rule over Yunnan.

Yunnan, a beautiful land south of colorful clouds, has finally returned to the Chinese territory after more than 600 years......

~~

Of course, at present, the Ming army only occupies the line from Qujing to Kunming, and the entire Yunnan ninety percent of the land is still in the hands of the officials of the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the Duan and Yang clans.

However, the top priority of the Ming army was to reinforce Usa as soon as possible.

Wusa is located at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, and you have to pass through here to go to Tibet, in fact, the geographical location is more important than Qujing.

But because it is too important, it has been completely fortressed by King Liang, and there is a real natural danger Jinsha River as a barrier, and the difficulty of the attack is much greater than that of Qujing, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose this place as the main direction of attack, but only let the governor Guo Ying, Hu Haiyang, Chen Huan and others lead 50,000 troops, from Yongning, Sichuan to Wusa, to respond to the attack of the main force.

After the Northern Route Army left Yongning, it was blocked by Yuan Youcheng Shibu in the area of the Chishui River and could not advance. However, he also completed the task perfectly, and firmly nailed the nearly 80,000 yuan army under the command of Shibu to Usa.

According to the battle plan formulated by Boss Zhu, after the main force solved the Qujing Yuan army, it was necessary to divide the troops into two routes, all the way to Kunming, and all the way north to attack the enemy in Wusa with the North Route Army.

Of course, the front-line generals of the Ming army will not be completely rigid in the implementation of the plan, after learning that the king of Liang is likely to abandon the city and escape, Fu Youde decided to let the army go straight to Kunming first, and make a posture of attacking with all his strength, increasing the pressure on the king of Liang.

As a result, the king of Liang really fled, and Kunming surrendered. Fu Youde didn't even enter Kunming City, so he divided his troops as soon as possible and personally led the army north to Wusa to support the Northern Route Army.

Fu Youde's 50,000 troops, under the leadership of the Pu'an guide, went all the way north along the Gegu Mountain Range, and it took only five days to penetrate into the heart of Wusa, and conquered Shibao Mountain, which was heavily guarded by Shibu in one fell swoop.

Shibao Mountain is the southern gate of Usa, and since he heard that the Ming army had occupied Shengjing Pass, Sibu was worried that they would go north to join the northern route army and give themselves a flank from the front and back.

Therefore, he sent heavy troops to garrison Shibao Pass in Shibao Mountain, hoping to resist the attack of the Ming army. Unexpectedly, Fu Youde didn't talk about martial arts, and took advantage of the night to send troops to sneak attack.

I didn't expect to cut corners when I built the wall, and the outward side was repaired very well, but the inward side began to be fooled. It didn't take long for him to make the gap in the bricks and stones large enough for the Ming army to climb with his strength.

Maybe I didn't expect that someone would attack Shibao Pass from behind. As a result, the impossible happened, and someone really attacked from behind.

As a result, the Ming army climbed the Shibao Pass in one go, and the Yuan army was caught off guard and was killed. When the door was closed and the main force of the Ming army poured in, the Yuan army gave up resistance and fled, and lost Shibao Mountain.

At dawn, Fu Youde was already standing at the Stone Fort Pass, looking at the majestic scene of the mountains and mountains in front of him, he couldn't help but be interested, and changed the name of the Shibao Pass to Xuanwei Pass, which means 'Xuanbo Imperial Court Weide'.

At this time, the rout also brought the news of Fu Youde's army breaking through the Shibao Pass to Shibu. Shi Bu was shocked, he didn't expect that the Stone Fort Pass, which he had high hopes for, would not work at all. Fearing that he would be attacked by the Ming army, he hurriedly led his army to evacuate the Chishui River.

Guo Ying took the opportunity to lead his army across the river.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Fu Youde and Guo Ying's 100,000 troops joined forces with Wusa, and the battle situation on the northern front was completely reversed.
