In the eleventh year of Yongle, the Sizhou Tian family was abolished, and the two mansions of Liping and Xinhua were founded. Liping Mansion is in the official group, and the chief of the seven lawsuits are called, Tanxi, Bazhou, Guzhou, Hongzhou, Fulu Yongcong, Xishanyang Cave, and Caodi Cave. In order to defend and subordinate to the Guizhou Political Division, it was the year to set up the Liping Mansion School and set up instructors. In the tenth year of Xuande, the provincial Xinhua Mansion entered Liping, and then the Territory Division was fourteen, and the government was originally built in the official regiment of Liping Village. At the end of the day, it was moved into the Acropolis and built to the west of the city. The beginning of this mansion and the city.

In the seventh year of Tianshun, the government knew and judged. Xianzong Chenghua for four years, professor of Taifu Studies, set up a lecture. In the thirty-sixth year of King Sejong's reign, he placed the Tusha of the Saburo Division, and ruled over ten Tusi and one Tusha. In the twenty-eighth year of Shenzong Wanli, Liping Mansion was subordinate to Huguang, and thirty-one years were still subordinate to Guizhou.

It can be said that Liping Mansion is the middle zone of Huguang Road and Guizhou Road, where the Tusi is all over the place, just the Tusi who sent troops with the Guizhou General Xu Jiaming, there are the Guzhou Division, the Zhonglin Inspection Cave Division, the Longli Division, the Xinhua Division, the Ouyang Division, the Liangzhai Division, and the Hongzhou Boli Division, with a total strength of 58,000 people.

These seven Tusi are basically distributed on the east and west banks of the Xinhua River, and all of them are located in the northeast of Liping Province, which can be used as the front line of the Guizhou rebels to resist the imperial army.

It is precisely because of this distribution that Xu Jiaming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, gave orders to the seven Tusi: to set up defenses along the way, and to delay the offensive speed of the official army at all levels.

And Xu Jiaming himself led 87,000 people from various guards in Guizhou to garrison Liping Mansion City, that is, the Wukai Acropolis.

At this time, Xu Jiaming had already received the news that the imperial army was heading south, so he convened a group of generals to discuss the matter.

"It is said that the imperial court requisitioned Li Dingguo of the Huangming Military Academy as the chief military officer of Huguang Road, Liu Liangzuo as the general of the Changsha battalion, Gao Jie as the general of the Baochen battalion, Huang Degong as the general of the Yongheng battalion, and Ai Nengqi as the general of the Huang Deying battalion."

In the prefect's yamen, Xu Jiaming laughed and said to the generals: "Haha, who are these people? The remnants of the thieves, the Nanjing court was robbed of military power, and they were all corner roles, but now they can lead the army to fight, so it can be seen that there is no one available in the imperial court! ”

The generals laughed one after another, and now there are tens of thousands of brave and warlike Tusi soldiers in front, and everyone's hearts are much more steady. If the soldiers and horses of the imperial court want to break through the blockade of the seven major toasts, it will take at least two or three months, and the troops will inevitably be hit hard, and then it will be the time for everyone to go north to pick up cheap.

"Zongzhen, it is said that Li Dingguo is also a fierce general among the thieves, and now there is a garrison army leading several battalions of the imperial court to the south, and its momentum should not be underestimated!"

A staff general said with some concern, Xu Jiaming nodded and said: "There is some truth, it's just that the departments will be stationed in Liping Mansion first, and step up the time to build fortifications around the city, first see what the results of the Tusi soldiers are, and then make a decision!" ”

"Yes!"

Then the general said: "I just don't know what the battle situation is in Liangguang and Yunnan." ”

Xu Jiaming said very confidently: "There are Guangxi wolf soldiers in Liangguang, and there are also a lot of Tusi soldiers in Yunnan, so it shouldn't be a problem." ”

At the same time as Xu Jiaming's confident deployment strategy, Li Dingguo led Ai Nengqi, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie's troops and horses to enter the territory of Guizhou Province, and then the army divided its troops in the territory of Hu'er Division, which was close to the border between the two provinces.

Li Dingguo led the Zhenbiao battalion to attack the Liangzhai Division, Ai Nengqi led the troops to raid the Ouyang Division, the Huangde Power Department raided the Xinhua Division, Gao Jie led the troops to raid the Longli Division, and Liu Liangzuo led the army to raid the Hongzhou Boli Division.

Five troops and horses raided the Tusi at the same time, and agreed to use fire as a means. Nowadays, there is drought and little rain in Guizhou, and the weather is unusually hot, and even the Xinhua River, which used to have a lot of water, has many sections that can be set foot in the river, which shows the seriousness of the drought in Guizhou.

That night, Li Dingguo led his troops to arrive outside the city of Liangzhai Division.

Although Liangzhai Division is called a city here, it is actually a village. On a high slope on the west bank of the Xinhua River, a village built of wood and stone is somewhat like the style of military villages in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, but it is more simple.

Li Dingguo had already received a report from the various departments in advance that they would not collect at night, and knew that all the Tusi cities in the northeast of Liping Mansion were all stockades with stone and wood structures, which were most suitable for fire attack, so he decided on the strategy of dividing troops to raid.

"Headquarters, the soldiers are in place, it's time to do it!"

A guerrilla general from the Zhenbiao battalion came to report, and Li Dingguo immediately ordered: "Earthquake thunder, up!" ”

"Up!"

Soon, dozens of soldiers from the Zhenbiao battalion took advantage of the night to come forward, and a large number of them had already stepped forward at night, first solving the Tusi sentries outside the stockade and covering the approaching of these throwers.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of earth-shattering thunder flew into the stockade under the cover of night, with a roar, the fire and gunpowder smoke instantly spread in the stockade of the Liangzhai Division, thousands of Tusi soldiers under the surprise attack, there was no power to fight back, except for a few Tusi soldiers shouted and rushed out, like headless flies running around, trying to kill the enemy, most of the Tusi soldiers were fleeing for their lives, and even many people were running naked.

"Kill it!"

Rumble!

There were a few more thunderous roars, the gate of the Liangzhai Division was directly blown up, and the soldiers of the Zhenbiao Battalion rushed directly into it and began to set fire everywhere.

Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he saw this, and on the one hand, he commanded his soldiers and horses to intercept the fleeing Tusi soldiers on the periphery, and on the other hand, he organized his troops and horses to guard against the enemy troops who might counterattack at any time.

Only half an hour later, the village of Liangzhai Si turned into a sea of fire, and at least more than 4,000 Tusi soldiers were burned to death inside.

Li Dingguo saw that the fire was too big, and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat for several miles, but there was still a heat wave, which made the soldiers of the Zhenbiao battalion sweat profusely.

This fire can be seen in the night, even if it is more than ten miles away, which shows the magnitude of the fire.

Immediately afterwards, there was a night when he didn't collect his horse and rushed over, and said loudly: "Qiqi General Town, Ouyang Division, Xinhua Division, Longli Division and other places in the south are all on fire, and all the departments of our army have succeeded!" ”

"Report! Qiqi Town, the Changsha battalion soldiers led by General Liu Shen succeeded, and Hong Zhou Boris was burned!! ”

"Good!"

Li Dingguo laughed and said to the general of the town standard battalion beside him: "Our army won this battle, and nearly half of the rebels were annihilated in the first battle. ”

The generals couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Early the next morning, Li Dingguo commanded his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, but only captured more than 100 prisoners, and the Liangzhai Division turned into a scorched earth.

Immediately, in order to deter the rebels, Li Dingguo ordered the beheading of more than 100 prisoners, and then led the army south, successively joining Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Ai Nengqi.

Two days later, Li Dingguo led his army to the east bank of the Thirty Mili River, and ten miles to the south was Liping Province.

It was only at this time that Xu Jiaming, the chief military officer of Guizhou, received the news that the seven Tusi had been annihilated by fire overnight, and he was immediately frightened and bloodless, and hurriedly summoned a group of generals to discuss countermeasures.

But after waiting for a long time, only four or five of the generals came, and the rest of the people were gone.

Xu Jiaming said angrily: "Where have all the people gone!" Now that the war has just begun, and our army has suffered a slight setback, are they going to defect? ”

A staff general cried and said: "Qiqi General Town, now many people have led their troops to withdraw, saying that they want to return to their station, and then ask the court to wait for the settlement, it is better than being wiped out by the imperial army on the battlefield." ”

"Bastard thing!!"

Xu Jiaming said angrily: "Is it possible to give up resistance and let others slaughter you to live?" It's stupid! ”

When Xu Jiaming was scolding angrily, his subordinates came to report: "Qiqi Town, the imperial army has arrived under the city, and soldiers and horses are being deployed in the north, east and west, it seems that they are preparing to attack the city!" ”

"How many people came?"

Xu Jiaming hurriedly asked, and several generals also exchanged glances to each other, and their faces were very ugly.

"There are tens of thousands of horses, all of them are armored firearms, well-equipped, and they carry a lot of artillery!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiaming was dumbfounded, and now how many soldiers and horses are left in the city, he has not counted in his heart. Now there are only these generals left, and even defending the city is a big problem, how can you fight??

Suddenly, the general who spoke just now suddenly took a few steps forward, pulled out his saber and slashed over, directly slashing Xu Jiaming, who was still defenseless, to the ground.

The severe pain made Xu Jiaming shout loudly, but for some reason, the family members and guards outside were nowhere to be seen, only a few generals in the house surrounded him, and everyone drew a knife in their hands.

"What are you going to do!"

The general said coldly: "Don't blame us, Zong Zhen, who let you try to rebel against the imperial court and bring your brothers to such a Jedi, and the brothers can only find their own way out!" ”

"That's right! With the head of the town, a few of us can save at least one life. ”

"Don't-Don't kill me!"

As soon as Xu Jiaming shouted, several steel knives were cut down at the same time, directly hacking Xu Jiaming to death.

It didn't take long for the gates of Liping Mansion to open one after another, and the tens of thousands of remaining defenders in the city all laid down their weapons and marched out of the city in procession.

Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others were all a little stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, how did a counterinsurgency war become like this? Several people had a sense of powerlessness in their hearts to punch the cotton.

Subsequently, Li Dingguo led his troops to accept the surrender of the rebels, and then reorganized the tens of thousands of rebels, as the precursor of the army, and began to advance to all parts of Guizhou, pursuing the rebel soldiers and horses who escaped from Liping Mansion in advance.

It only took a few days for Li Dingguo to exterminate all the rebel troops in Guizhou, and then escorted all the tens of thousands of rebels captured to the north, and temporarily resettled them back to Liping Mansion, where they were guarded by Ai Nengqi.

At this point, the rebels in Guizhou were all wiped out, and the good news was sent to Beijing.
