On November 26, the 20th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army attacked Ami Prefecture, with the forward pointing directly at Dongshan Pass in the northeast of Ami Prefecture.
Yang Jiafang, the guard general of Ami Prefecture and the leader of the army, saw that the Ming army was so powerful that he did not dare to neglect it. While he camped at Dongshan Pass to confront the Ming army, he galloped to Kunming to ask for help.
Sha Dingzhou heard that the Ming army did not attack Kunming, but instead returned to attack his home base of Ami. He was shocked and cursed the Han people for being cunning. He lamented that he had been smart all his life, but in a moment of confusion, he fell into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He ordered his trusted generals Tie Zhihu, Wang Shuo, Li Risen, and Chen Changshou to lead the army back to Ami first. He would return to Kunming first to do some business.
Sha Dingzhou returned to Kunming only for one thing: to kill one person, Wang Xigun, a scholar of Dongge University in the Longwu Dynasty.
Wang Xigun, 50 years old this year, named Longzao and Kunhua, was born in Lufeng County, Kunming Prefecture, Yunnan Province. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. Emperor Longwu worshiped Wang Xigun as a bachelor of Dongge University, a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a right minister of the Ministry of War. Governor Yun Gui,
Military affairs of Sichuan, Hu and Guang provinces.
However, Emperor Longwu was threatened by the powerful minister Zheng Zhilong, and he had no money or soldiers. Wang Xigun, who was ordered to be in danger, had to return to his hometown of Kunming and spent all his wealth to recruit troops for Emperor Longwu. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was like a broken house, with wind leaking everywhere. Wang Xigun saw that the country was in danger.
Wrinkled, he reaffirmed his determination to die, looked at the Central Plains and sighed happily: "The sky is full of loneliness and tired of going to relatives, but I am willing to surrender to the dancers. In the past three hundred years, the country has been destroyed, and the west wind has brought blood and tears to Changling."
As a result, before all the soldiers were recruited, Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Wang Nong, rebelled.
In order to fulfill his wish to dominate Yunnan, Sha Dingzhou tried to recruit Ming Dynasty officials in Yunnan to surrender. Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, patrolled Luo State, but was forced by Sha Dingzhou's lustful power and surrendered. Only Wang Xigun refused to give face, and scolded him every time he surrendered.
The scolding made Sha Dingzhou run away with his head in his arms.
Sha Dingzhou became angry and imprisoned him in Kunming Gongyuan.
Now Sha Dingzhou is leaving Kunming and returning to Ammi. He feels that leaving Wang Xigun in Kunming is a hidden danger and must be killed.
Before killing him, I wanted to personally persuade Wang Xigun one more time to see if he would surrender.
Opening the door of Kunming Gongyuan, Sha Dingzhou asked the guard: "Where is the prince?"
"Report to the General Office, Bachelor Wang is in the Zhigong Hall of Gongyuan".
"What have the princes been busy with these past few months?"
"I reported to the General Office that Bachelor Wang usually reads books and wrote a few poems."
"Oh, what poem? Take me to see it."
The guard brought Sha Dingzhou to a pillar. On the pillar was a poem written by Wang Xigun with a calligraphy brush.
When Sha Dingzhou took a closer look, his nose was twisted with anger.
It says:
"Advocate for Righteousness"
The local chiefs marched into the Mu Mansion, and the general fled far away without the owner of the country.
The fishy wind is spreading to the south and east, and the soldiers and civilians are stained with blood.
You stupid monster is as rampant as before, and the people with lofty ideals will be furious when they hear it.
Make an appointment with the people who dare to die and summon the people from the country, and give them one to a hundred volunteers.
The sound of the drums carries loyalty and anger, and the arms are waved to change the will of heaven.
The fire is in full swing, surrounded by several layers, and all the defenders are crying, and the city is about to be destroyed.
The sword head is wrapped in green blood elixir, the wind is depressed and the sun is falling.
Although Zitu failed to rescue the guards, he praised Ronglin and Jing Huagun.
Originally, Sha Dingzhou wanted to persuade Wang Xigun to surrender, but as soon as he saw this poem, he knew that his persuasion was useless.
He was a fierce hero who always killed decisively. He said to his left and right: "Please go in and send the prince on his way."
They entered Zhigong Hall with knives on both sides. Wang Xigun was studying. The sword flashed and a loyal and loyal man fell in a pool of blood.
After Zhu Hengjia learned about this, he posthumously named Wang Xigun "Wen Yi Gong".
??
In Duoluo Station, Luoxiong Prefecture, Qujing, a caravan is carrying goods on its way. The mountain road is rugged, and the horsemen (horsemen) have to lead the horses on foot.
A lean man came to stand in front of a strong man with a long beard.
"The boss".
The man with a long beard glared at him, making the lean man shrink his neck in fright and hastily changed his words.
"Maguotou, in front of you is Duoluo Station. Last time I pretended to be a merchant to visit, there were only about 20 Luoluo Station."
"Yeah," Luo Yihuo nodded, "I'll be smarter later."
When the caravan came to the post entrance, several rogue soldiers armed with swords and guns blocked the way.
"Where did you come from as a caravan?"
The leader Ruoluo Tumu asked.
He undressed his beard, took off his wrapping bag, dug out a piece of silver, and secretly stuffed it into Tu Mu.
"I'm a caravan from Pu'anwei in Guizhou. I'm going to Qujing to exchange some goods. I understand the rules. Please make it easier for me."
Tu Mu weighed it, and found three more coins than usual. He was secretly happy, and waved his hand: "I hope you understand the rules, go to the inn to rest."
One after another, mules and horses carried goods and entered the inn.
With a wink from Luo Yibeard, the horsemen took out short knives from the cargo box under the horse's belly and rushed in front of Tumu and Luoluo.
With a "swish" of the knife, Tumu covered his neck and fell down.
Doluoyi changed its owner in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing, two generals, followed Zhu Hengjia's order and led 20,000 troops from Guizhou to attack Qujing and enter Kunming.
They are all from Yunnan and are familiar with the customs and geography of Yunnan, so they asked their subordinates to dress up as caravans and raid various inns.
Duoluoyi, Baishuiyi, Dingnanbao, and Eletunbao were attacked successively, and the Ming army surrounded Fuyuan County. The five hundred defenders of Fuyuan were not aware of it and still kept the city gate open.
"Da! Da! Da!"
Three hundred cavalrymen of the Ming Army galloped in. Just as the gatekeeper was about to resist, he felt a pain in his abdomen and a lance penetrated his intestines.
After capturing Fuyuan County, Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing made a surprise attack to cross the river. They were both from Yunnan and knew that they would directly attack Qujing Prefecture to govern Nanning County (which has the same name as Nanning Prefecture in Guangxi and is not the same place). The Nanpan River blocked them and took a detour to cross the river. , you can avoid Nanpanjiang River and go straight to Nanning County.
It is said that Jiaoshui is the gateway to Qujing and should be heavily guarded. However, when Sha Dingzhou attacked Qujing, he killed too many people and was unpopular. Resistance continued in various places in Qujing. Of the 3,000 defenders of Jiaoshui, 2,000 were withdrawn to quell the rebellion but did not return. , there are only a thousand people and horses in the city.
The Ming army took Jiao Shui lightly, bypassed the Nanpan River and attacked Qujing Prefecture to govern Nanning County.
Qujing President Yu Yanzhen, who was stationed in Nanning, was shocked and ordered all the strong men in the county to defend the city.
Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
Sha Dingzhou only knew how to use force to convince people and kill them if they refused. The people of Qujing hated him to the bone. Planting evil causes and reaping evil consequences. The battle to defend the city was fierce. Suddenly, some soldiers from the Tong clan rebelled at the west gate and killed the gatekeepers. Then they opened fire. The city gate.
Yu Yanzhen was beheaded by Hu Yiqing, and the Ming army also captured Luo Guo, the Ming inspector who was trapped in the Shadingzhou camp.
When Luo Guo met Zhao Yinxuan, Hu Yiqing said plausibly: "I am a patrol officer of the Ming Dynasty. I was coerced by the sand thieves. I am not a bandit. Please tell me from the two generals."
Zhao Yinxuan glared: "As a censor, you patrol for the emperor. You have never been a thief. We, Zhao, don't know. But it is absolutely true that you are unwilling to die for the Ming Dynasty. Please explain. Shit!"
Luo Guo was originally a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen's reign. Hearing this, his face turned red and he retreated in despair.
After generals Zhao and Hu occupied Nanning County, they captured Malong Prefecture and Yue Prefecture Guards in one go.
While at the Yuezhou Guard, they learned that the army of Pingnan Marquis Shi Qiwen of the Ming Dynasty had arrived at Luliang Guard. The second general was overjoyed and led his troops to capture Fanghua and then to Luliang to join Shi Qiwen.
??
If you are hungry, you must eat, and if you are hungry, you must sail on land.
The two armies of the Ming army joined forces in Luliang. Zihong, the chieftain of Luliang, wasted money and prepared basket after basket of chickens, ducks, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. Looking at the endless stream of Ming troops, Zihong secretly rejoiced that he had surrendered. Morning, otherwise wouldn’t you become a ghost under the sword now?
After Sha Dingzhou returned to Ami Prefecture with Wan Mistress, he ordered the chief soldier Song Guoying to lead 8,000 troops to guard Heyang; he ordered the chief soldier Gao Abao to lead 10,000 troops to guard Yiliang; he ordered the president Yu Xipeng, the chief soldiers Ruan Yunjia, and Yuan Shihong to lead 10,000 troops. Wan Shou Kunming.
Shi Qiwen saw that the strategic intention of mobilizing Sha Dingzhou's main force to leave Kunming had been realized. After discussing with Li Dingguo, he left Lu Huang, Long Zaitian's 5,000 people, and He Jiuyi, Zhang Guoyong, and Zhao Desheng's 5,000 people near Ami. He bluffed to confuse Sha Dingzhou. He led the army, bypassed Heyang and Yiliang, and entered Kunming from the direction of Luliangwei.
The Ming army returned and set up shop in Yiliang. Instead of attacking Heyang, they went straight to Kunming, which was completely beyond the expectations of the Sha army.
They were stunned.
With lightning speed, the Ming army captured the three military strongholds of Qiao Shuipeng, Tuerguan and Banqiao, and reached the foot of Kunming City.
Kunming City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and borders the Dianchi Lake in the south. It was originally the most powerful city in the world. If the Sha army concentrated its forces to defend Kunming, it would be extremely difficult to capture it.
However, Sha Dingzhou fell into the trap, and Li and Li planned to attack the east and attack the west. The main force left Kunming, and the remaining troops were scattered in Heyang and Luliang. There were no more than 10,000 soldiers in the city. Most of them were chieftains patched together from various places.
The soldiers are not elite, how can they stop the 80,000 Ming army tigers and wolves?
"Kill!"
Generals Li Dingguo, Zhao Yinxuan, Hu Yiqing, Wu Zisheng, Wu Sansheng, and Li Chengjue began to attack the city from all directions.
The deafening shouts of killing finally stopped, and the strong smell of blood filled the city. The Ming army soldiers cleaning up the battlefield were cleaning up the corpses scattered everywhere.
The Ming army captured Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, and captured three generals: Yu Xipeng, Ruan Yunjia, and Yuan Shihong.
Sha Dingzhou regards his hometown Ami and Wang Nong more seriously than the capital Kunming, which is extremely short-sighted politically.
The reason why the Yunnan chieftains defected to Shadingzhou was because they were afraid of its power. The loss of Kunming sent a clear political signal to these chieftains that Wang Nongsha was in trouble.
After Shi Qiwen captured Kunming, the pro-Ming forces were very excited. Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, led 3,000 troops; Yang Weizhi of Jincang Road led 5,000 troops; Na clan of Yuanjiang had 5,000 native soldiers; Long Zaitian's clansman, Shiping Chieftain Long Shirong,
Long Tao and Long Feiyang led three thousand troops; the towering chieftain Lu Yi led three thousand troops to surrender. The neutral forces were no longer neutral, and Ziliang chieftain Zihong sent two thousand troops; Vimalakia chieftain Shen Yinglin, Shen Zhaolin, Wang Chengzu, Wang Yi, Wang
First, Wang Xianlun each sent 1,000 troops to surrender; the hostile forces began to divide, and those originally belonging to the Sha Dingzhou camp were led by Jinghua Chieftain Long Shengxiao and Gumu Chieftain Long Yuanzuo, who led 5,000 troops and surrendered.
The Ming army suddenly gained more than 30,000 troops and became more powerful.
??
At the governor's office in Kunming, Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, asked to see Pingnan Marquis Shi Qiwen.
When he heard that the Duke of Guizhou from Shizhen Yunnan came to pay homage to him, Shi Qiwen did not dare to ask for help, so he quickly opened the central gate to welcome him personally.
Unexpectedly, when Mu Tianbo saw Shi Qiwen, he knelt down directly in front of Shi Qiwen regardless of his dignity as a duke. He burst into tears and burst into tears.
"Please, Marshal, take revenge for me!"
Shi Qiwen was shocked: "My lord, why are you doing this?"
Mu Tianbo cried: "I want to get Yu Xipeng, Ruan Yunjia, and Yuan Shihong to avenge my mother and wife. I hope the commander will make it happen."
When Yu Xipeng led Sha Dingzhou to attack the Duke of Qian's Mansion, Ruan Yunjia and Yuan Shihong let Sha's army enter the city and killed Mu Tianbo's mother and wife. He wanted revenge!
When Shi Qiwen saw Mu Tianbo, the forty-year-old Duke of Guizhou, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, and his temples were all white, he looked like an old man in his sixties. He no longer had the handsome and handsome image in the past. He couldn't help but feel soft.
"If the Duke wants to take revenge, feel free to do it. I will never stop you!"
??
The playground in front of the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion in Kunming.
Yu Xipeng, Ruan Yunjia, and Yuan Shihong were tied up and escorted up.
Mu Tianbo held up the whip and whipped the three of them like crazy.
"Traitor, I regard you as a traitor and make you the general manager. Why did you lead the thieves to attack the house and kill my mother and my wife?"
"My lord, I was forced by Sha Dingzhou!"
"I treat you two well, why do you two betray me for glory?"
"The villain realizes his crime and begs the Lord to spare his life!"
The shadows of whips flashed past, and the sound of crackling whips resounded throughout the Duke of Guizhou's mansion.
Mu Tianbo was tired from beating him, and the three of them were beaten to death.
"Drag it, the car will break!"
"No! Duke!"
"My lord, please spare my life!"
"I beg the Duke to let this villain die happily!"
When they heard the car crashed, the three of them were so frightened that they peed their pants.
Car splitting, also called five-horse dismemberment or five-oxen dismemberment. It is a kind of torture in ancient China, in which five horses or oxen are used to pull a person's head and limbs. It is also called "five-car dismemberment".
In ancient times, the punishment of splitting the chariot was to kill the person first and then split his body. For example, King Hui of Qin split Shang Yang's chariot with chariot. Shang Yang was already dead when the chariot was torn apart, so he just split his body.
Mu Tianbo hated the three of them so much that he ordered the car to be torn apart alive.
Mu Tianbo, the majestic Duke of the country, naturally has no shortage of horses.
The guards took out five horses and tied Yuan Shihong's head, hands and feet to one horse each with ropes. The five guards used riding whips to drive the horses in five directions.
Yuan Shihong's body quickly tensed up. He wanted to shout, but he was so red that he couldn't speak. There was only a pair of frightened eyes, looking at Mu Tianbo pleadingly.
Soon his eyes turned white.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
After a few smashing sounds, Yuan Shihong turned into several pieces of minced meat.
"My lord, please spare my life!"
Ruan Yunjia was trembling with fear.
Mu Tianbo waved his hand in disgust and dragged Ruan Yunjia down from side to side.
Soon, he also became a pile of minced meat.
Among the three, Mu Tianbo once trusted Yu Xipeng the most and hated Yu Xipeng the most.
In the end, he beat up Yu Xipeng with his car, and deliberately let Yu Xipeng see the scene where he beat up Yuan Shihong and Ruan Yunjia with his car.
Yu Xipeng was so frightened that he became incontinent. When he was torn apart by the car, he was already a puddle of mud and completely speechless.
With the sound of the guard's whip, Yu Xipeng also turned into five pieces.
"Mother! Madam! I have avenged you!"
Mu Tianbo burst into tears.
The bloodshed was not over yet, Mu Tianbo vented his anger by killing thousands of people who had defected to Sha Dingzhou.
