Not long after the military parade ended, and just a few days after the whole country celebrated, big news broke out in the southwest. The chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou rebelled, and a hundred thousand natives captured the nine cities of Guizhou. They won consecutive battles and were unstoppable. The Marquis of Mu Mansion in Yunnan rushed to help, but he was defeated. The local soldiers, Guizhou is in danger, please ask the imperial court to send the heavenly soldiers to rescue you quickly.
When a war breaks out, will the whole world be shocked? What are you surprised about? Of course, the people of the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding vassal countries were shocked by the crazy behavior of the Yungui chieftains, because the Ming Dynasty’s advanced weapons were the nightmare of all surrounding countries. They were simply killing machines born for war. At the same time, they also understood , such terrifying and terrifying weapons have not spread to the border towns in the Ming Dynasty, they are only used to defend the capital. Otherwise, if there are them in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, then how did those native people capture so many cities of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as this incident came out, all the surrounding vassal states began to have other thoughts. Zhu Houzhao's arrangement completely fell short of success. The vassals that originally planned to pay tribute turned back. They planned to wait and see again, and were unwilling to do so. Just surrender.
After getting the news, the Jin Yiwei immediately passed the news to the palace. When Zhu Houzhao saw the memorial, he jumped up, slapped the case, and said angrily: "You are so brave to give this shameless bitch."
The idea of fighting to conquer the barbarians is a good one. After all, you can make people surrender without using a sword. Who wouldn't want to? However, reality still slapped Zhu Houzhao in the face. He mistakenly used modern thinking to think about things and took it for granted. , he can use advanced black technology weapons that are beyond the times to strategically deter the enemy. After all, we are not modern now. It is wrong for him to use modern people's ideas to measure the ancient people's ideas.
This lesson reminded him that the idea of mercy is unrealistic. If the enemy is not completely wiped out, there will be endless troubles. It’s not like the chieftains in the southwest have never participated in the Zhengdan military parade. As a result, they still raised an army to cause chaos. Envoys from various vassal countries It's not like they didn't see it. The news we got now is that they turned back the same way and didn't come to pay tribute at all.
I just don’t obey you at all. I just treat you as a paper tiger. Now the local people are in rebellion. In half a month, they have conquered nine cities. It took a while for the army to report to Beijing. It has been coming and going. I don’t know if the Guizhou army can persist. When the imperial army comes to rescue you, if you want to be slapped in the face, I will ask you if you feel ashamed.
When Zhu Houzhao saw the military report for the first time, he was not ashamed, but angry. He had never been angry before. The fifty-six ethnic groups are one family. Aren't the native people of the southwest my people? Why are you making trouble? What I have given you is not enough. ?
Just like being hurt by one of your own people, it seems that the process of national integration will be accelerated, otherwise this matter will be too disturbing.
"Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of Propaganda and Military Affairs, came to the throne to declare..."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and thought of another person. It's time. Whether he is a talent or not, we have to wait and see. Doesn't that Liu Zizhang want to go to Yunnan and Guizhou in southwest China? Then let him go and work for the prefect of Guizhou first.
So he paused and continued: "Liu Zizhang, compiled by the Xuanhanlin Academy, Wang Shouren of the Ministry of War, and Yang Yiqing came to see him."
The emperor was angry and shed blood.
Except for the Datong garrison, the rest of the reviewed troops all returned. The Datong garrison followed Wang Shouren, Yang Yiqing, and Liu Zizhang to Guizhou. Liu Zizhang was a civil servant, so he traveled slower. After getting what he wanted, he decided to repay well. The emperor's trust and dedication enabled this great event to be accomplished.
Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing separated as soon as they arrived in Guizhou. The native people are good at fighting in the mountains and forests. Datong Prefecture is a plain area. Fighting in the mountains and forests is definitely no match for the natives, so Wang Shouren diverted to Guangxi to invite them. Another Ming Dynasty non-staff military unit participated in the battle, the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers, and Yang Yiqing rushed to help defend the city.
As the prince who benefited the most from the royal family, the King of Shu naturally had no shirk. After learning about the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, he reported to the court and requested to send troops to support Yunnan and Guizhou. He has received permission from the court, with 10,000 troops in the palace and 20,000 troops in central Sichuan, a total of three Thousands of people have already arrived in Guizhou to cooperate in preventing thieves.
In fact, the seemingly powerful 100,000 native soldiers were just a ragtag group. I don’t know what happened to the great chieftain Yang Hua or whom he was instigated by, so he rebelled. At first, he caught the Guizhou army by surprise and fired nine consecutive shots. City, once the Sichuan army and Yunnan Muhou's army arrived, nothing was done, but...
Yang Hua was like a frightened deer. He was in panic all day long. The hearts of the 100,000 native soldiers were floating. When Yang Yiqing's army arrived, the 100,000 native soldiers had to retreat continuously. The lost territory returned to the five cities under the Ming Dynasty. The rebels There are only four cities left, struggling to hold on.
Yang Yiqing was arrogant and felt that Wang Shouren was making a fuss and there was no need to ask for help from the wolf soldiers. He could completely defeat Yang Hua's 100,000 native soldiers with his own army.
The King of Shu sent his second son to help the court put down the rebellion. This son was extremely intelligent and was also known as the Little Zhuge. He vaguely felt that something was wrong and reminded Yang Yiqing that it might be Yang Hua's conspiracy. However, when his words came out, Yang Yiqing not only refused to listen, but also I felt disdainful that you, a prince's son, knew what a battle formation was, so I started shouting excitedly.
Seeing this, the second son no longer stopped him. He had no choice but to exit the Chinese military tent with a smile, and quietly and quickly passed a letter to the court, hoping that things would turn around.
Wang Shouren invited wolf soldiers who were already on their way. When they were about to arrive in Anshun, not far from Yang Yiqing's army, the bad news came.
"Report to the General, General Yang has been defeated and has retreated from Guiyang Mansion. Yang Hua's rebels are now stationed in Anshun City in front of us. Our army has been discovered. There are rebels about forty miles away in front of me and fifty miles behind me. The enemy troops have gathered." Wang Shouren was shocked by the report from the detective horse.
"You said Master Yang was defeated and Anshun has now fallen into the hands of the traitor Yang Hua?"
"Yes, this is a humble way of finding out from the enemy's mouth. I don't dare to deceive."
There was a thunderous bang in Wang Shouren's head. This time it was really shocking to the heavens and the earth. He had agreed with Yang Yiqing to attack Yang Hua from both inside and outside. Now that Yang Yiqing defeated Guiyang, he became the target of Yang Hua. Attacked from both inside and outside.
This, this, what happened, how did Yang Yiqing lose?
However, now is not the time to think about this, because the rebel Yang Hua has already led people to prepare to encircle and suppress him, and time is running out.
Wang Shouren is indeed a famous Confucian general who is the god of war in history. He is calm in the face of danger, has extraordinary magnanimity, and commanding a certain layout. He quickly leads tens of thousands of troops, avoiding Yang Hua, and goes straight to Guiyang.
When the news of the second son of the King of Shu came to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao was angry again. He seemed to have remembered something. Yang Yiqing, this idiot, made the same mistake in history again. He deserved to be greedy for credit and rash. Unfortunately, now is not the time to deal with him. , now I am afraid that the defeat is done, and now I really have to resign myself to fate. I hope Wang Shouren will not let him down.
Zhang Mao asked himself to lead troops to rescue Wang Shouren again. The military was also very angry with Yang Yiqing. It could have defeated Yang Hua's perfect plan in one fell swoop, but it was ruined by him. It was really hard to redeem him.
The matter returned to the dispute between Yang Yiqing and the second son of King Shu.
"Yang Hua claims to have 100,000 local soldiers, but from my point of view, they are just a mob. After a few days of fighting, I can find out whether he is real or not. In three days, I will personally lead the army to fight with him. Is the prince willing to go with me? ." Yang Yiqing looked at the second son of King Shu quietly.
The prince was startled. Thinking about the information he had obtained before and what he knew now after fighting Yang Hua, the gap was too big. Either the information he had obtained was wrong or Yang Hua was playing tricks. He had a little secret. As Zhuge is called, he naturally knows that Zhuge is only cautious in his life, he thought about it and said.
"Master Yang, I think it is better to proceed as planned. Yang Hua should not be underestimated. Besides, Guizhou's topography is special. It is not like the northern plains. Large-scale operations may not be as familiar as the rebels. Sir, please think again." After careful consideration, it would be most appropriate to wait for General Wang to arrive with his wolf soldiers to coordinate the internal and external forces."
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yang Yiqing has the highest status, followed by the second son. The other governors and general soldiers are all lower than him. It is difficult to speak. Seeing that the two have different opinions, others do not know how to help. Whoever had to keep silent.
Yang Yiqing originally thought that what the Crown Prince said was right, but what the Crown Prince said next aroused his competitive spirit. In the last battle in the Great Tong Dynasty, he just missed the mark. Wang Shouren was promoted to three levels in a row and showed his face. Will he have to do it again this time? Wang Shouren failed to dominate the limelight.
Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Since the prince is not willing to go with you, why should you let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige? Our northern army has conquered Datong for a long time and is able to conquer the world. The battle of Datong shocked the world and killed hundreds of thousands of Dayan's coalition forces. Could it be that these rabble can't compare to Dayan's hundreds of thousands of cavalry?"
The prince is elegant, but he doesn't want others to ridicule him. Hearing this, he replied: "Yang Hua is a cunning thief. What if he uses a trick to lure my army out of the city to fight and Anshun falls?"
Seeing that the two of them were getting angry, others could no longer remain silent and began to offer advice.
Yang Yiqing smiled and said, "You are in the city, aren't you? You and your people stay in Anshun. I am leaving a group of His Majesty's artillery for you. They are just a bunch of rabble. Isn't it possible that the prince is still afraid?"
The prince of Shu had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Yang Yiqing was willing to leave a batch of artillery. He had seen the power and it should be enough to defend the city, but he forgot that he had no experience in using it at all. The artillery was left for He did it, but Yang Yiqing didn't explain how to launch it or how to aim it.
Three days later, Yang Yiqing led his army out of the city to find Yang Hua's rebels for a decisive battle. However, Yang Hua's rebels had already ambushed them. Yang Yiqing was ambushed on a narrow mountain road and was defeated miserably. Tragedy, Yang Yiqing fled to Guiyang with injuries.
Yang Hua took advantage of the situation and attacked Anshun. The Prince of Shu hurriedly met the enemy and defended the city. The enemy attacked the city with ants and was outnumbered. They abandoned the defense and retreated to Guiyang. More than half of the entire Guizhou fell, and the bandits were getting stronger day by day. This is what the spies learned. The situation is not optimistic at all.
At the same time, the rebels near Annan, Zhenla, and the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi began to move again and were ambitious. Due to Yang Yiqing's wrong and aggressive actions in the southwest, a storm was about to come. Yu Ling traveled to and from the official road in the capital every day. The messengers were busy and many batches of horses died.
Good things never come in pairs, and bad things never come alone.
