After Tao Mingqing inherited Jingdong Tusi, he made great contributions to An Bangyan's first two rebellions.

In the nineteenth year of Wanli (1591), the 200,000 army of An Bangyan, the uncle of Shuixi Tusi Anwei, invaded Yunnan, and Tao Mingqing was ordered to lead his troops to ambush the left flank of An Bangyan's rebels, and the imperial court officials and troops intercepted them head-on.

Tao Mingqing used 480 elephants to form a sharp knife force to attack, blocking the waist and flanking the left flank of An Bangyan's rebels, so that the rebels could not be defeated.

Tao Mingqing led the army to pursue more than ten miles in one go, killing more than 4,000 rebels. The governor of Yunnan reported to the imperial court: Tao Mingqing made the first contribution to defeat the rebels, and gave the official three grades.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Wusa Tusi An Xiaoliang took refuge in An Bangyan, and then led the crowd to attack Yunnan, and it was Tao Mingqing who led the elephants to defeat them in one fell swoop.

As the saying goes: nothing more than three.

Tao Mingqing sent troops to attack the rebels for the third time, and finally suffered retribution. Not only did it not achieve the great achievement of three consecutive victories, but the whole army was wiped out.

The 5,000-strong army was gone, and Diao Xun, the commander of the army, was captured alive.

This news made Tao Mingqing tremble with anger, and he was about to show the heads of the two centurions who came back to deliver the letter to the public on the spot.

"Big brother can't!" Fortunately, Tao Mingqing's younger brother Tao Mingbi came forward to intercede: "Since the enemy can break through Chuxiong City in one fell swoop, and the four thousand officers and soldiers surrender without a fight, we will definitely not be able to stop it with only five thousand people, and it is not a crime of war." ”

Tao Mingqing was still upset: "Then what do you say, do you want this kind of defeated general to go out and be embarrassed?"

Tao Mingbi nodded: "Big brother, please calm your anger, little brother thinks this letter is worth paying attention to." The fact that a young woman in her twenties was able to lead an army to break through Chuxiong City shows that she is not ordinary. And what she said in the letter is also worthy of our attention, after all, Diao Xun leads the troops well, and there are not many such people. ”

Tao Mingqing's face was gloomy, and he picked up the letter on the table again and looked at it carefully.

"The book presents the case of Tao Governor Mingqing Gong Zuo: Extravagant Chongming, An Bangyan Xingshi rebelled, and the crime should be beheaded. The Jingdong army was ordered to beg for thieves, and sincerity was a duty. However, the division was out of shape and secretly attacked our army. The little woman Yan couldn't bear it, and she was inherently ruined. ”

"Today, the people are in dire straits, the people are in dire straits, and the people are in dire straits. Friendly neighbors attack each other privately, trapped in fire and water, causing life to be ruined, and stealing what non-heroes should do. ”

"Jingdong warriors have been fighting against Myanmar for 100 years. The bones are stacked like a mountain, and the merit is a thousand years, and the little woman Yan has admired it for a long time. It is very fortunate that they can join hands to conspire and punish rebellion abroad. ”

"There are more than 1,000 people under Diao Xun, and they are really good generals and warriors. If it is used on the right path, there will be immortal honors, and if it is given to the axe, it will have the reverse disaster of heaven. The little woman Yan is where she goes, let it come and go, and if she doesn't pursue it, then how can Ming Gong be the same? The little woman Yan, bathe her hands and bow again. ”

Tao Mingqing looked at it upside down for a long time, and finally threw it to his brother Tao Mingbi: "What are you talking about, it's dizzy and inexplicable." ”

Tao Mingbi smiled: "This little lady surnamed Yan actually said four meanings. First, we were right to fight An Bangyan and Extravagant Chongming, but it was wrong to beat this little lady surnamed Yan, so the whole army was wiped out. ”

"Second, the little ladies surnamed Yan said that if it is not peaceful today, it is not right for neighbors to fight each other, and heroes and heroes should not be like this. ”

"Third, this little lady surnamed Yan admires us for fighting against Burmese rebellion, and she wants to join forces with us to deal with Burmese rebellion. ”

Fourth, the letter said that Diao Xun was a real warrior and should be used on the right path. If we continue to fight with the little ladies surnamed Yan, she will definitely kill Diao Xun and them, it will be a pity. She wanted to let us go, let our people choose to stay, and asked us what we meant. ”

Tao Mingqing was a little unconvinced: "What does the second brother mean is that Diao Xun and they can still come back?

"Big brother, you can know from this letter that the little lady surnamed Yan must be from the Central Plains, so what she said should be true. Tao Mingbi's expression was stern: "Back then, Zhuge Kongming also arrested and released our ancestors, and did not kill them all. ”

Tao Mingqing was a little strange: "Just let it go, what are you doing with such a big bunch of words?"

Tao Mingbi nodded: "What people mean is that if she puts people back, we can't fight again." Also, after she releases people, let our people choose which side to stay on. If someone chooses to stay with the little ladies, we can't hold their families accountable. This letter is to make our attitude towards these two points, what does Big Brother mean?"

Tao Mingqing shook his head: "Alas, people have arrested our people and released them back, this is a great kindness, what else to fight? The Han people have a saying: A thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find." Diao Xun has followed me to fight for decades, and he has saved my life, of course he will not pursue it. ”

"As for those who are willing to stay there, when the number is determined, send their families over. They didn't let us take things to ransom people back, or did we take advantage of them. Isn't it true that we big men can't compare to the open-mindedness of a little woman?"

In order to show his sincerity, Tao Mingbi personally rushed to Chuxiong Mansion, and made a bloody alliance with Yan Erniang and never attacked each other.

To this end, Yan Erniang urgently requisitioned 120 flint bird guns, 24 tiger squat cannons, and 48 Kongming crossbow carts, and presented them to the Jingdong Military and Civilian Government as gifts.

And agreed: In the future, if the Burmese rebels invade the north, the Xiong army will go all out and fight the enemy side by side with the Tao army.

Yan Erniang is worthy of being a heroine among women, and there are a lot of firearms strictly prohibited by the imperial court.

Nanban's biggest weakness is the lack of manufacturing technology.

The imperial courts of all dynasties have always been a technical blockade of the Southern Barbarian Waiyi, and of course it is impossible for others to die forever.

Yan Erniang put her heart into her heart, and finally moved Tao Mingbi and Diao Xun.

Tao Mingbi folded his arrow and swore: "Governor Yan is open-minded and does not treat us as barbarians. From now on, Xiong Jiajun is our brother of Jingdong. If you don't say that, you will be like an arrow!"

After Tao Mingbi and Diao Xun returned south with more than 700 horse infantry troops, they immediately sent 240 seven-stone ox horn bows, 480 six-stone ox horn bows, 600 five-stone ox horn bows, 1,200 four-stone chestnut wood bows, and a total of 60,000 arrows of three types.

This huge transportation team was still escorted by Tao Mingbi and Diao Xun.

Yan Erniang was not polite, and after receiving all the orders, she gave back 240 flint short guns, 600 flint bird guns, 72 tiger squat cannons, 72 Kong Ming crossbow cars, and 30,000 catties of salt.

The second time they met, it was a brother and friend, and they naturally cheered and drank and laughed.

"Tongzhi Lord, General Diao: We Central Plains people have a saying, called if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Yan Erniang said at the banquet: "There is indeed a great lack of manufacturing technology here, especially in terms of firearms and gunpowder production. You can rest assured, as long as we can do our best, we will not be separated from each other in the future. What I have, you will have!"

In just half a month, Yan Erniang found a powerful ally for herself, thus winning a broad room for maneuver for the Xiong family's army, and at the same time making Mu Wangfu in the east and the political envoy in the west press their minds ready to move.

Not only that, but the more than 3,000 Jingdong elite soldiers who were captured at the beginning only returned to more than 700 people.

Yan Erniang got more than 2,000 elite troops for nothing, and after supplementing the hussar battalion of Xiong Kaishan with 1,000 people, there were 1,200 more fresh troops, and the defense force of Chuxiong City was completely solved.

With such a force, Yan Erniang simply did not stop doing nothing, and ordered Xiong Kaishan to raid and take Zhennanzhou, sixty miles west of Chuxiong.

Chu Xiong assisted in guarding Li Shimi, a guerrilla general with the rank of guerrilla general, but he did not expect the rebels to come so quickly, and attacked his inner city in the middle of the night with some chickens and dogs, but there was no key defense, and all the 2,000 officers and soldiers were arrested.

Xiong Kaishan was not prepared to kill, but he was released after a lesson, and even let them take away the weapons.

The only thing left was the twenty-four Hongyi cannons and six hundred tiger squat cannons on the city wall. The city's three grain depots, two armories, a salt store, and a tax and silver storehouse were all received.

In this way, with the twenty-four Hongyi cannons on the city wall of Chuxiong City and the remaining four hundred and eighty tiger squat cannons after the Jingdong Military and Civilian Mansion were gifted, the city fire prevention power in Yan Erniang's hands was basically worry-free.

Later, he sent troops to drive out the court officials in Luodianli, and changed it to Luodian County (now Shuangbai County), Yan Erniang has basically stabilized the situation in the south, forming Lufeng City, Chuxiong City, and Zhennan City as the fulcrum, and the defense line with a length of 300 miles from east to west, and Lan'er is connected into one air.

Now, the town of Blackwell has become its own backyard, and only a hundred-man team needs to be left to guard it, as long as no one steals salt.

Xiong Kaishan, in accordance with Yan Erniang's order, moved the hussar battalion into Zhennan City, and the main defense object was the officers and troops who might come out from the direction of Dali.

Lan'er guarded Lufeng County, and the general Sima Cheng's trapping camp was mainly defended in the direction of Muwangfu and some Tusi in Kunming, east.

As for the battle in the north, that is the problem of Xiong Chu and the military advisor Wan Lian. After Yan Erniang and Lan'er negotiated, they felt that it would be good for them to be in charge of the house, and they should not worry about the front-line affairs for the time being.

Therefore, Yan Erniang took out a quarter of the bows and arrows sent by Tao Mingbi and sent them to the front line, and asked Xiong Kaishan to draw out two hundred-man teams to escort grain and grass.

After a secret visit, Yan Erniang finally found a person, an old man in his fifties.

Sun Xueyi, Han nationality, is famous for his talents.

Later, he failed one after another in the scientific examination, so in this life, he was a squire who opened a school and made the prestige of the entire Chuxiong City very high.

Yan Erniang came to the door three times in a row, and finally invited the old gentleman out of the mountain, and then took off his robe to give way, and Zhennan Mansion had its own real prefect: Sun Xueyi.

After Sun Xueyi's recommendation, Yan Erniang ran with the guards for a day, and finally found another person.

Hou Mingde, thirty-six years old, read poetry and books, but had no fame. He is a rigorous and square person, and he is a judge who is very respected.

The official position nominated by the new prefect Sun Xueyi is the envoy of Zhennan Prefecture.

Yan Erniang broke her mouth, and this Hou Mingde was indifferent.

"Lord Hou, if you don't go with me to take office today, then I'm sorry. Yan Erniang's pretty face sank: "Come on, the torch is waiting." If Lord Hou doesn't leave, I'll burn all the 300 people in this village to death!"

Hou Mingde threw the book in his hand to the ground, and suddenly roared: "Bandits, you are a group of bandits!"

If we are bandits, then kill people first, and then treat them. Yan Erniang pressed the hilt of the sword with her left hand and sneered: "You really don't believe it, if you don't go out of the mountain to suppress those crooked ways, I will start to mess around tomorrow and make a mess of the entire Zhennan Prefecture." ”

Hou Mingde finally understood: Xiucai met Bing, and it was unreasonable.

Although he didn't take the Xiucai exam, he can't tell it now.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me.

"It's Sun Xueyi's old immortal who harmed me, right?" asked Hou Mingde with squinted eyes.

Yan Erniang was as cold as before: "Master Sun has Li Min in mind, how can you be so selfish and selfish like you? You can clearly do more things for the people, but you hide in the ravine to cultivate your self-cultivation, and you are embarrassed to talk about others." Let's go, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the yamen!"
