Although the Yao people have become a danger to the stability of Guangdong and Guangxi, they have never been a serious problem for the imperial court. The reason is that their organizational power is relatively loose. They are located in the mountains and have thousands of villages. There are also "Ba Yin", "You Guo" and other spontaneous villages in the villages.
The leaders of the mutual aid organizations, such as "Mulao", "Tangou Gong", and even "Tianchang Gong", are democratically elected by the elders of each house in the village - well, it is not surprising that the organizational skills are low.
According to the legend of the ancestors of the Yao people, they are a branch of the "Jiuli" in the east. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Yao people lived in most of Hunan and were called "Wuling barbarians"; during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, most of the Yao people lived in Hengyang and Lingling, and were called "Mowei barbarians"
By the Yuan Dynasty, most of the Yao people entered the hinterland of Guangdong and Guangxi; in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they moved into the mountainous areas of Guangdong and Guangxi and parts of Yunnan. The essence of this migration is that the productivity of the Yao people has not been effectively developed, and their living space has been squeezed by the Han people.
To.
The largest rebellion against the rulers in the history of the Yao people was the Great Uprising of the Yao People in Datengxia, Guangxi. It started in the fourth year of Hongwu and lasted for more than a hundred years, with wars spreading all over the country. Among them, the largest scale occurred during the Jingtai period when Hou Dagou was the leader.
, the number of the rebels exceeded 200,000. By the Tianshun period, they had spread to Gaozhou, Lianzhou, and Leizhou, and threatened Guangzhou, shocking the Ming court.
Wang Zhi, the eunuch of Chenghua Quan, and Empress Xiaomuji, Xiaozong's biological mother, were both from Datengxia and entered the palace as prisoners. Therefore, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after Xiaozong actually had some Yao blood flowing in their bodies.
The large-scale Yao uprising in Guangdong at the beginning of the fifth year of Wanli was actually the result of the unprecedented intensification of ethnic conflicts among the Yao, Zhuang, Dong and other ethnic minorities in the southwest of the empire. Because the Ming court had always adopted a high-pressure and repressive rule against the southwestern Yi, this kind of
The uprising began in the early Ming Dynasty with almost no interruption, but it was just bigger and smaller sometimes.
Counting only from the six years before Zhu Yijun crossed over: in the early year of Longqing, there was a great uprising of the Zhuang people in Gutian, followed closely by the great uprising of the Fujiang Yao people; in the first year of Wanli, there was another great uprising of the Huaiyuan Dong and Zhuang people; in the third year of Wanli, there was a great uprising of the Luopang people
The Yao people in the mountain have killed officials and rebelled - this time, it is the largest since the Dadengxia Uprising.
...
On May 20th of the fifth year of Wanli, that is the day when Ling Yunyi and Liu Xian led the new army to Xinyi, the Luopang War had already begun.
Zhang Yuanxi, the general of the Guangdong army, commanded the Luopang sentry, the Longshui sentry, and the Cenxi sentry; the Guangxi general of the army, Li Xi, commanded the Deqing, Nanxiang and other four sentries and horses. The 100,000-strong army marched towards the center of Luopang in ten directions.
In addition, in order to prevent the Yao people from crossing the north, Ling Yunyi fortified 35,000 troops along the river in Deqing and placed 20,000 troops in Guangxi to prevent the Yao people from running westward.
In the original time and space, the Luopang War officially started in the first month of the fifth year of Wanli and lasted for four months. It happened to avoid the rainy season. It was Ling Yunyi who took the initiative to choose to go out; but in this time and space, because the Yao people attacked Gao Gao first and killed the officials.
And looted the county treasury - Ling Yunyi was able to start his revenge and go back in May, which was already extremely efficient.
Faced with the behavior of the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi who only talked about politics but not military science, Chen Lin and the two generals in charge of the army had earnestly advised them. If they marched in May, they would not be able to carry out a "suppression" campaign - that is, with clear intelligence.
, the army advances and emerges suddenly, like an eagle fighting a rabbit. Otherwise, once the mountainous area enters the rainy season, flash floods and diseases may break out at any time, and the army may be completely lost.

However, the looting of Gaoyao County has forced Ling Yunyi to a dead end. Gaoyao is not far from Zhaoqing, and the Yao people are equivalent to giving the imperial court a slap in the face under the noses of the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi. Ling Yunyi would not have them immediately
After the annihilation, the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is not stable, and he is also likely to be convicted.
Therefore, unlike the steady and steady deployment of the original time and space, although the plan used for this encirclement and suppression campaign had been formulated long ago by Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi, Ling Yunyi had extremely high requirements for the advancement speed - a lot of redundant time and space in the original plan
The margins are compressed to the extreme.
Any military operation conducted in this way will not go smoothly - General Zhang Bin of Guangxi Li Xi led an army of 10,000, entered Luopang from the direction of Nanxiang, and was responsible for capturing more than 50 villages including Aoshan Yao Village. The initial stage was very smooth.
, the Yao people never expected that the government troops would come to attack the village on Grandmother's Day - they were killing chickens and geese in preparation for the festival.
When Zhang Bin led his army to attack Aoshan and other villages, they were overwhelming and captured and killed more than 4,000 Yao people. However, when they went deep into Luopang, they encountered a heavy rain when they attacked Huangjiangdong. Huangjiangdong is close to the base camp of the Luopang Yao people.
Tianchang Gong He Zhuangzi had a high prestige in the surrounding villages, so he gathered more than 20,000 troops and fought desperately with Zhang Bin's troops in the rain.
Although the Yao people did not have much armor and few iron weapons, the desperate spirit in their hearts was much higher than that of the officers and soldiers. Moreover, in the heavy rain, the Ming army could not use firearms, and the vision was not good. In the end, the two sides fought.
There was no order, and it was like two large groups of people fighting. The officers and soldiers did not use their armor and were defeated step by step. When the rain stopped, Zhang Bin's troops were already surrounded in a nearby Huangjiangdong.
The mountains are up.
When Zhang Bin was defeated, he urgently sent messengers to the rear and asked Li Xi for support. When Li Xi received the report, he was so worried that his hair fell out - all the soldiers and horses were attacking according to Ling Yunyi's plan, and he had no reserves in his hands.
How can we rescue Zhang Bin when we reach three thousand?
At the time of hesitation, Ling Yunyi and Liu Xian led the army to Xinyi. Li Xi quickly pushed the matter of Zhang Bin being surrounded in Huangjiangdong to Ling Yunyi. Ling Yunyi had received the report earlier and was frightened.
Khan, so he hurried on his way - if Zhang Bin's entire army was wiped out, he would have killed all the Luopang Yao people, and he might even end up in the capital's prison.
In desperation, Ling Yunyi was about to change his original plan. Instead of attacking Luopang's core Xishan Mountain Cave, he would send Chen Lin to lead the soldiers to attack Huangjiang Cave first and rescue Zhang Bin first.
Liu Xian dissuaded him and said: "The rainy season is coming soon, and all ministries must complete the campaign and withdraw their troops before the end of June at the latest. The roads in Dadong Mountain in Xishan Mountain are dangerous and dangerous, and there are many Yao bandits. General Chen must be the main force. This Huangjiangdong is to be handed over to
Let’s join the new army.”
Ling Yunyi immediately took Liu Xian's hand: "You have the nerve to call Liu Shuai big brother! I'm so lucky. Without the help of big brother, I would have had diarrhea this time!" After saying that, he bowed to the ground and said, "Please, big brother."
Got it!"
So Liu Xian and Ling Yunyi took control of Xinyi and sent Deng Zilong to lead 7,000 new troops to attack Luopang from the route that Zhang Bin had cleared. Tong Chizhong's cavalry could not be reorganized until they reached Yunnan, so more than 1,000 people under his leadership were captured.
He stayed at the headquarters led by Liu Xian and continued training in mountain warfare.
Deng Zilong led his troops, led by local guides, and finally entered Huangjiangdong [Note: Today's Yunfu City, Guangdong] on the tenth day of June. Needless to say, the mountains and roads were slippery along the way. By the time they entered Huangjiangdong, Zhang Bin had been surrounded for nearly nine days.
Fortunately, the food and grass that I brought with me when I retreated were not lost. There were also a lot of grass roots and bark on the mountain, so the whole army was not collapsed yet.
