"Commander, the Shen family of Fuzhou has sent its envoys to surrender," Liancheng Bi, the patrol commander of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, said to Pingnan Hou Shi Qiwen with a smile.
"Supervising the country is so clever! Now there is no big threat from the direction of Guangnan Mansion!" Shi Qiwen sighed while twisting his beard.
This time, Pingnan Marquis and Yunnan Admiral Shi Qiwen led the patrol to Lianchengbi, Dinglu Marquis Li Dingguo, and Ninghai Bohe Jiuyi to attack Yunnan. They did not follow the historical march route of the Western Army, which entered Yunnan from Guizhou, first occupied Caoni Pass, and then attacked Qujing. Cross the water; then pretend to attack Amizhou, divert the tiger away from the mountain, and take Kunming lightly; finally capture Wangnong, Ami, and eliminate Shadingzhou.
Qujing Prefecture is known as the "Key to Yunnan and Guizhou" and the "Throat of Yunnan". The mountain road is rugged, and the road from Qujing to Kunming is not easy to walk.
Historically, the Great Western Army entered Yunnan from Guizhou because they did not occupy Guangxi. At this time and space, Zhu Hengjia had already defeated the Cen family in Sicheng, so he could attack Guangxi Prefecture (Guangxi Prefecture in Yunnan Province) from Anlongsi, Guangxi, along the Nanpanjiang waterway. , not Guangxi Province). This road can travel by land and water, which is more convenient than entering Kunming from Qujing.
Guangxi Prefecture in Yunnan has jurisdiction over the three prefectures of Maitreya, Shizong, Vimalakia and Shibazhai. Its geographical location is very important. To the northwest, you can capture Kunming, and to the south, you can attack Ami Prefecture, the home base of Shadingzhou.
Before the expedition, Zhu Hengjia gave Shi Qiwen a clever plan. He asked him to spread the word that it was the clan members of the Jiao family, the wife of the Duke of Guizhou, who had invited Ming Dynasty officials and troops to attack Sha Dingzhou and avenge the Jiao family.
The old Mu family of the Duke of Guizhou has been in Yunnan for more than 200 years. It has a high prestige among the chieftains of various tribes in Yunnan. The Jiao family is also a prosperous family in Yunnan. Sha Dingzhou suddenly attacked the Duke of Guizhou's mansion, and Mu Tianbo fled in panic. Chuxiong. His mother, Chen, and his wife, Jiao, were too late to accompany them, so they fled to Jinjing Lane, Puji Village, north of the city, and burned themselves to death. Many people in Yunnan sympathized with him. They heard that it was the Jiao clan who led the Ming army to avenge the Jiao clan, and they made chieftains in various caves along the way. He actually didn't resist at all, but instead opened the village gate and slaughtered pigs and sheep to welcome the Ming army.
Now, the Shen family of Fuzhou, the great chieftain of Guangnan Prefecture in Yunnan, has also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Shi Qiwen couldn't help but sigh, how clever it is to supervise the country!
Shi Qiwen ordered Lieutenant General Dou Mingwang to lead three thousand troops, and under the guidance of Fuzhou Shen family, they raided Guangnan Fucheng. The elite soldiers in Guangnan had been taken by Sha Dingzhou to attack Chu Xiong, Yang Weizhi, and there were not many defenders, only two thousand people. The Ming army also had the Shen family of Fuzhou as an internal support. With an internal support, it was easy to get things done. The Shen clan secretly opened the city gate. Sha Wanzhong, the head of the Shadingzhou tribe who was guarding Guangnan Prefecture, was still sleeping and was captured by Dou. Fame cuts off the head easily.
Shi Qiwen ordered Dou Mingwang to guard Guangnan Prefecture, and led his own army to march along the Nanpanjiang waterway by land and water to attack Guangnan Prefecture and control Luxi.
He and the generals said: "Most of the residents in Guangnan are children, and they have always been dissatisfied with sand thieves and are easy to escape. However, in Guangxi, there are many children, so it may be difficult to capture them!"
"Don't worry, Commander, I will eventually take over Guangxi Mansion."
Li Dingguo, He Jiuyi, Jin Tongwu, Wu Zisheng, Wu Sansheng and other generals have high morale and are eager to try.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reported that the great chieftain of enlightenment, the dragon, came up to ask for an audience.
"Long Shangdeng? Isn't he a subordinate of Sha Dingzhou's wife Wan Cailian? What is he here for?"
??
Shi Qiwen met Long Shangdeng and his son Long Tong.
The great chieftain Long was a great leader. He was nicknamed the "King of Bazhai". He taught in Lin'an Prefecture, Yunnan, and the Bazhai area was very powerful. Long Shangdeng was the former father-in-law of the former chieftain of Ami Prefecture.
Later, his subordinates were led by his wife Wan Cailian. After Wan Cailian remarried to Sha Dingzhou, Long Shangdeng also became Sha Dingzhou's subordinate.
Is this the famous "King of Eight Villages"?
Shi Qiwen didn't believe it when he saw that the father and son had no momentum and looked like they had gone through many changes.
He didn't know that Long Shangdeng was already desperate.
Long Shangdeng was originally a great hero of the Luo tribe and the father-in-law of Pu Mingming, the great chieftain of Ami Prefecture. After Pumingming married Long Shangdeng's daughter, Ami taught the two chieftains to merge into one, and their power increased greatly. He was determined to
Let the Luoluo clan be the masters of Yunnan, collect grain, train troops, and conquer surrounding tribes.
It should never, never should have happened, Pu Xingxing fell in love with Miss Wan Cailian Wan, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangxi.
He took Wan Cailian home and asked Long Shangdeng's daughter Long to grow up and Wan Cailian to grow up small.
But these ten thousand girls are so charming and arrogant, how can they be willing to be petty?
Pu Mingxing loved Miss Wan so much that she was afraid of him melting in the palm of her hand. Miss Wan also gave birth to a son Pu Fuyuan for Pu Mingsheng. She was arrogant because of her favor and did not take Pu Mingsheng's wife, Mrs. Long, seriously. p>
With the simplicity and kindness of Luo women, Long tolerated Miss Wan. But Miss Wan could not tolerate Long. Finally one day, she poisoned Long's food and poisoned Long to death.
His daughter died in an unexplained manner, so Long Shangdeng naturally refused to agree. But since he didn't find any conclusive evidence, he could only hold his anger in his heart. From then on, there was a gap between the two chieftains Ami and Jiaohua, and they were no longer as close as before. p>
After Miss Wan remarried Sha Dingzhou, Sha Dingzhou planned to capture the Duke of Guizhou's mansion and dominate Yunnan. He sent an envoy to Longshangdeng's place and asked him to go into the city with him to attack Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty.
How could Long Shangdeng, who had long disliked Sha Dingzhou and Miss Wan, agree?
He angrily rebuked Sha Dingzhou's envoy: "I, a Han minister, have been favored by the country for hundreds of years, and have refused to block the South China Sea for generations. I hate the insignificant achievements. How can I bear to go against the grain and be infamy for all generations." After saying this, he ordered people to come.
The envoy was sent to Lin'an and prepared to be handed over to the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, due to unexpected circumstances, Sha Dingzhou's rebellion actually succeeded. He easily drove away Mu Tianbo and occupied Kunming.
Since Long Shangdeng was so disobedient, Sha Dingzhou and Miss Wan naturally couldn't tolerate him. The two sent troops in three directions to attack the enlightenment.
Wang Nong and Ami joined forces, but Long Shangdeng was unable to resist the enemy and was defeated. Sha Dingzhou occupied Jiaohua and Bazhai. Long Shangdeng led his wife and son and fled to Annan Kingdom.
When he was helpless and desolate, he heard that the clan members of the Jiao family, the just wife of the Qian Kingdom, had invited the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers to avenge the Jiao family. Long Shangden was overjoyed and took his son Long Tong from Annan Kingdom to Shi. Qiwen Camp, Wancailian contributed to the crusade against Shadingzhou.
Shi Qiwen asked Long Shangdeng: "Isn't Long Zhizhou (Long Shangdeng was the local magistrate appointed by the Ming Dynasty) a subordinate of the Wan family? Why do you want to oppose the Wan family?"
The old man on the dragon was in tears: "Commander, I have a grudge against that poisonous woman Wan Cailian for killing my daughter. These two thieves killed my daughter and seized my territory. We are irreconcilable! I am willing to lead the way for you and recruit surrender for you." Mozhou, the chieftains of the Eighteen Villages".
??
Weimo Prefecture, Shiba Village and other places in Guangxi Prefecture, Yunnan, were originally the territories of the Long family, the great chieftain.
The two major chieftains in this area, Long Jin and Long Fang, who were born in the Long clan, died without heirs. The Ming Dynasty sent Shen Qihou (Tong clan) of Fuzhou Shen clan and Dongshan Wang clan (Lisu clan). In the Ming Dynasty, the Lisu clan It is regarded as "宮宮", "millet is also a different kind of Luoluo") in charge of its land.
The chieftains of these two clans are inextricably linked to the Jiaohua Long clan, and Long Shangdeng is very confident in recruiting Vimo Prefecture and the Eighteen Villages to surrender for the Ming Dynasty.
The reputation of the "Bazhai King" was indeed not false. Soon, the Shen family and the Wang family surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
The six chieftains Shen Yinglin, Shen Zhaolin, Wang Chengzu, Wang Yi, Wang Xianren, and Wang Xianlun mentioned Weimo Prefecture and the Eighteen Villages in historical documents.
Shi Qiwen's eyes were fixed on Luxi City and Maitreya Prefecture. He asked Long Shangdeng to lead the way and take Maitreya Prefecture directly.
