XVI. The Rebellion of Luxury
The rebellion of Xuan An refers to the rebellion of Xuan Fu Si Chongming in Yongning (now Xuyong) in Sichuan and An Bangyan, the uncle of Xuan Anwei in Shuixi (now Dafang) in Guizhou during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Rebellion of the Chieftain in Guizhou.
Luxury Chongming is the Sichuan Yongning Xuanfu Envoy, and An Bangyan is the Guizhou Xuanfu Division. Luxury, Anjun is Sichuan, Guizhou big toast.
In the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), Hao Chongming took the post of Sichuan Tusi Yongning (located in the southwest of Xuyong, Sichuan Province, and the jurisdiction is the same as today's Xuyong, Yunlian, Gulin and other counties) Xuanfu envoy, and his son Haoyin has long had the heart of anti-Ming separation.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the social contradictions were sharp, and wars broke out frequently, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, not only the Later Jin soldiers pressed the border, and the affairs in Liaodong were tight, and there were peasant uprisings in the southwest and Tusi rebellions intensified, and the contradictions between the rulers in the southwest and the local ethnic groups were also very acute. Before the outbreak of the Lu'an Rebellion, Liu Xixuan, a scholar in Guizhou at that time, once said: The local people in Yunnan and Guizhou were exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and their lives were miserable, but the local Tusi also oppressed the people, and the people were all angry. It shows that at that time, not only were the Yimin exploited by Han officials, but even Tusi was also "coveted" by the officials. Yi Tusi extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan took the opportunity to launch an anti-Ming war.
In September of the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Gao Chongming started an incident in Chongqing and surrounded Chengdu for more than 100 days. An Bangyan raised troops in February of the second year of the Apocalypse and besieged Guiyang for more than 200 days.
After the rebellion, the Ming court transferred Shuixi and Yongning troops to Liaodong to fight and provoked a rebellion. The war lasted for 17 years from the first year of the Apocalypse to the tenth year of Chongzhen, affecting the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guizhou, with more than one million casualties and large-scale battles lasting 9 years.
In the war, Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, died, Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, Lu Qin, the prime minister of the crown of the southwest generals, was defeated and killed, and the general army of Guizhou was killed under the city of Guiyang. In the end, it was pacified by Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu, the chief soldier of Shizhu, Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Sichuan, and Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou.
The "Rebellion of Lu'an" and the later "Shapu Rebellion" were huge in scale and lasted for a long time, which not only shook the southwestern provinces at that time, restrained the military and economic forces of Shu, Chu, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, weakened the Ming Dynasty's defense capability against the Later Jin, but also objectively played a role in slowing down the pressure of the Ming court on Li Zicheng and other peasant rebels, so that the Ming court was in a situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the three-line battle, which shook the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty to a large extent and accelerated the fall of the feudal rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, these two Tusi rebellions had a far-reaching impact on the ethnic society of southwest China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and even directly affected the course of historical development in southwest China.
Since these two Tusi rebellions were mainly based on the Tusi of the Yi nationality, they were related in time and caused by each other, so it is necessary to compare the similarities between the two Tusi rebellions, in order to reveal a facet of the complex background of the ethnic society in southwest China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and also to benefit the study of the history of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
The characters in this book, such as Hao Chongming, Hao Yin, Fan Long, An Bangyan, An Xiaoliang, etc., are all real people in history.
