Although Zhu Yongxing hoped that the time of the Yuanjiang Uprising could be delayed, he did not impose strict rules. Instead, he asked Nasong, Wu Zisheng and others to act according to circumstances and adapt to changes. Therefore, although the uprising of Xu Mingchen, Gao Yingfeng and others was sudden, after being notified, that
Song and Wu Zisheng still took action as quickly as possible.
On September 17, Xu Mingchen, Gao Yingfeng, Long Pianchan and others raised flags to revolt, raided the Qing army sent by Kunming, beheaded Zheng Xiang, the magistrate, and occupied Shiping.
On September 19, the Yuanjiang reinforcements led by General Huang Yuancai and Zhao Desheng rushed to Shiping, joined forces and attacked Qujiangyi.
On September 20th, the original Ming Dynasty Yanbo Zhu Yangen and the commander-in-chief Sun Yingke raised an uprising in Lin'an (now Jianshui). With the aid of the Ming army dispatched from Yuanyang, they captured Lin'an Prefecture. After a short rest, they divided their forces to capture Mongolia.
since.
On September 22nd, Mengzi local officials Li Risen, Li Shifan, and Li Shiping raised their flags to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and joined forces with the Ming army that attacked Mengzi to seize the city. Later, they went north to capture Ami Prefecture (now Kaiyuan).
According to the original plan, the Yuanjiang Rebel Army and Yuanyang Ma Bao fought hard to expand the defensive space as much as possible in order to achieve the purpose of exchanging space for time. They occupied Shiping, breached Lin'an, trapped Mengzi, attacked Tonghai, and besieged Maitreya. In just a few days,
In the sky, beacon fires were everywhere in Yidong, and the momentum was astonishing. Because of the thorough preparations and the help of the Ming army, the uprising against the Qing Dynasty was far more violent than in history, and shocked the Yunnan Province even more.
At this time, the weakness of the Qing army's unstable control over Yunnan was revealed. It also exposed the disadvantage that all the Manchu troops and Wu Sangui's main force were concentrated in Kunming. The local defense strength was insufficient, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army stationed there was exposed.
It was not enough, so the Ming army, with the help of various chieftains, was invincible, winning consecutive battles and victories.

"...Nasong, the local magistrate of Yuanjiang, and Natao's father and son led the alliance, and colluded with the chieftains to commit blood drills and truly rebel. If they were not eliminated, the place would be shaken... Immediately, King Pingxi and Governor Zhuoluo and others marched to suppress it.
Do not destabilize Yunnan Province..."
Kunming's Anyuan Jingkou General Xinjun Wang Duoni and Pingxi King Wu Sangui reported the changes in Yuanjiang to the Qing court in early September and asked for an order to make a decision.
On September 25th, the Qing army in Kunming finally received Shunzhi's imperial edict. Although Yuanjiang had already revolted, Wu Sangui and others still believed that the chaos could be calmed down and the situation was far from irreversible.
As the morning light began to shine, Wu Sangui got up as usual. He coughed lightly when he stepped out of the bedroom. The servants knew that the master had gotten up, and soon brought toiletries and warm soup. After a while, a cup of steaming hot soup was served.
The fragrant tea has already been delivered to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui likes to eat a few sweet snacks during morning tea. Over the years, Manchu-style saqima and shortbread cookies have become his favorite snacks. After eating a little, Wu Sangui re-entered the bedroom and picked some from the inside of the bed tent.
He put down the sword and walked to the back garden. It was also his daily habit to get up early to dance the sword. After finishing the sword dance, the servant came to report, and Fang Guangchen came.
Fang Guangchen, the son of Fang Yizao, the former Minister of the Ming Dynasty, abandoned his studies when he was young and traveled around the world. He made friends with Wu Sangui in Liaodong. Wu Sangui became friends with Fang Guangchen because of his erudition, extraordinary acumen, and unique insights into success, failure, misfortunes, and changes in current affairs.
The alliance was forged. After Fang Yizao's death, Fang Guangchen entered the Wu Sangui shogunate and participated in decision-making. In terms of trust level, although Liu Xuanchu was good at strategy, he was far below Fang Guangchen.
When he saw Fang Guangchen, Wu Sangui was afraid that he was about to salute, so he quickly took two steps forward, took his hands, pulled him to sit on the side seat, and said kindly: "I have worked hard these days to serve the court."
Wu Sangui called him close, but Fang Guangchen didn't dare to neglect him. He hurriedly put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows that I am used to taking time off from work, so how dare you say the word "hard work"." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty wants to personally conquer Yuanjiang and will set off in five days.
It's a bit rushed. If we wait a few more days, the food and grass supplies will be more abundant."
"The king's destiny is like a fire, it's not up to you and me!" Wu Sangui shook his head helplessly and said: "The Yuanjiang family has the support of the pseudo-clan and has hooked up with the various chieftains. There are tens of thousands of them. If it is delayed, I am afraid that they will sit down.
A great disaster."
Fang Guangchen pondered for a while and said: "Yuanjiang is the mastermind of the Yidong rebellion, and he has the most powerful troops, so he should be the first to destroy it. Since Yuanjiang is destroyed, the other chieftains are afraid of the military power and may surrender without a fight."
"The words of Xianting are exactly what I want." Wu Sangui said with a smile, stroking his palms: "The rebels are attacking everywhere, but they just want to divide our troops and try to subvert your plan, but they can't succeed. To capture the traitors, I should capture the king, and I should use thunder to
We will destroy Yuanjiang first and frighten Xiaoxiao."
"Your Majesty, the Na family has nothing to worry about, but you need to be careful about the fake clan." Fang Guangchen hesitated for a moment. In fact, he couldn't say what to be careful about or how to be careful. He just felt that those hiding behind the scenes were difficult to deal with. "The defeat of Tengchong,
Although it is related to the water, soil and rainy season, there is also the reason why the pseudo-clan is deceiving people and gathering the remnants of the pseudo-Ming Dynasty. It only takes ten months to subdue Annan. From this, we can see that the pseudo-clan is not an incompetent and cowardly person, but also quite strategic and courageous."
Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "Xianting's words are reasonable, I should be cautious. On the west side of Yunnan, we can't ignore it. I have ordered to suppress Fuqian Town from Chuxiong to Yao'an. However, the general soldiers
Liu Wenjin is not a resourceful person——"
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Yao'an to serve as military counselor." Fang Guangchen knew what was right and asked for orders without hesitation.
Being able to go out and take charge of his own affairs is a sign of trust. Liu Xuanchu was a little inferior and could only follow Wu Sangui. Fang Guangchen knew in his heart that although Wu Sangui said he was cautious, he was very confident in annihilating Yuanjiang. And West Yunnan
That was his worry, so he was assigned to Yao'an. It was between Dali and Chuxiong. If he advanced, he could reinforce Dali, and if he retreated, he could protect Chuxiong, the barrier to the west of Kunming.
"We have to let Xianting do the hard work again." Wu Sangui comforted him, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "In this way, I will destroy Yuanjiang, and I will have no worries!"
"Your Majesty is brave and wise, and the Yuanjiang River is just a small one. I can sweep away the holes with thunder and level them all with one drum." Fang Guangchen complimented, then smiled slyly and said: "There is another thing that may cause civil strife in the enemy's army, so I can lend a helping hand to Your Majesty.
.”
Oh, joy flashed in Wu Sangui's eyes, and he urged: "Xianting, tell me quickly."
…………….
Shunning (now the area around Fengqing and Changning), formerly known as Pumandi, was named Qingdian. It was first attached during the Yuantai period. In the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Qingdian Tushou Imperial Palace was established, and in the 26th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Qingdian Tongpan was established.
, built Qingdian City in thirty years, and set up a thousand households to guard the land.
On September 23, the Ming army led by Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo had already arrived in Shunning, which was only two days away from Yongchang. They were taking a short rest and waiting for news about Bai Wenxuan's troops.
During the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many chieftains in Yunnan Province, in order to preserve their own clans and status, surrendered to the Qing army when the Qing army came. When the Ming army came, they repaid their loyalty and had no choice but to become mere wallflowers.
Zhu Yongxing is not harsh on this. As long as he is not an enemy of me, this nominal surrender is understandable for the chieftain in the middle. Wu Sangui can still ignore the chieftain who rebelled and surrendered. How can he?
I don't have a broader mind.
Tao Dou, the prefect of Jingdong, Zuo Xinghai, the prefect of Menghua, Mengyuan, the prefect of Shunning, and Mu Yi, the prefect of Lijiang, were among the first batch of chieftains who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty when Wu Sangui pursued Yongli and Li Dingguo. They obtained
The treatment is that he can continue to keep his title and continue to maintain the rule of the chieftain. This result is not without benefits for Zhu Yongxing. At least there are no Qing troops stationed in these Tufu Tuzhous for the time being, and the chieftain does not dare to become enemies of the Ming army. In order to avoid
For the trouble caused by surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, it is appropriate to ask for retribution.
Like Tao Dou, the local magistrate of Jingdong, Mengyuan, the local magistrate of Shunning, was also a man who was aware of current affairs. Seeing that the Ming army was powerful and that the clan was left behind and led by the famous general Li Dingguo, he immediately came to plead guilty in person and stated the reasons for surrendering to the Qing.
It shows that he is in the Cao camp and his heart is in the Han Dynasty. He has been waiting for the Ming Dynasty king's master for a long time.
Zhu Yongxing naturally listened to these words. It is human nature to survive in the cracks and fall to the side of the winner. Harsh investigation can only push these wallflowers to the Qing court and Wu Sangui's side. Although
The Meng family has declined and its power has been greatly reduced. Zhu Yongxing also comforted him with gentle words and did not force him to be punished.
There are thirteen villages in the Shunning Meng clan, but they are divided into three major tribes, namely Mengmeng, Mengsa, and Mengmian. Mengmeng is the strongest, with a total of ten thousand people, but its land is small and abundant, so it can only rely on hunting. Therefore,
Mengmeng is often in trouble with Mengsa and Mengmian, and conflicts continue.
Tuzhizhou Mengyuan belongs to the Mengburian tribe. Although it occupies a large area, the tribe is weak. The arrival of the Ming army gave him an opportunity to resolve internal disputes. Zhu Yongxing formulated and promulgated the regulations for losing people and granting land, which will undoubtedly make the Mengmen tribe
The conflict between Tian Shao and many people was fundamentally resolved.
With Mengyuan's lobbying, the Mengmeng tribe decided to move to Annan. After meeting with Zhu Yongxing, they also received Zhu Yongxing's approval. It was Zhu Yongxing's established policy to fill Annan with border residents and stabilize the foundation. The Mengmeng tribe was willing to do this.
Adding a thousand soldiers can also increase the strength of the Ming army.
On September 25, after receiving the news that Bai Wenxuan's troops had crossed the Nu River from Dahei Ferry and were heading towards Shidian to attack, Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo led the Ming army to immediately end their rest and regroup and march westward to Yongchang.
When the Ming army entered Dahouzhang Sui (Yun County), the Qing army in Yongchang got the news. At this time, the Qing army in charge of guarding Yongchang and Shunning was Wu Sangui's old Liaoxi general Yang Shen. Zhang Yong was killed due to illness.
Replacement, has been to Kunming to recuperate. In fact, this is also a means for Wu Sangui to control the army of Yunnan Province. He may transfer or replace them, and use trusted generals to gradually control the Gansu-Shaanxi Green Camp and Huguang Green Camp stationed in Yunnan Province.
As a trusted general of Wu Sangui, Yang Shen must resolutely implement the orders given by his commander to defend the city. Although he once had the idea of sending troops to intercept, the Ming army active in Huirendu had a clear diversionary effect.
The Yongchang garrison, plus the troops in surrounding counties and towns, totaled no more than 10,000 people. They were more than enough to defend but not enough to attack, so Yang Shen completely gave up the idea of adventurous attacks. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
