Chapter 25 Yunnan Rebellion

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The heavy Fuzhou city gate has just opened, and a horse gallops in: "Get out of the way! Yunnan is six hundred miles away"??

Seeing this scene, an old woman who got up early to buy cooking cakes sighed: "Hey! Something big happened again!"

In the Fengtian Hall, Emperor Longwu anxiously asked the great scholar He Wuzuo: "Lao He Ge, what do you think of these two memorials?"

These two memorials, one was written by Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, and the other was written by Wang Xigun, a scholar. There is only one sentence in the content: "Tianbo rebels, Dingzhou seeks peace, and it is appropriate to use it to control Yunnan." Tianbo, Qianguo Gongmu Tianbo is also the one who Dingzhou is the great chieftain of Yunnan Mengzi, Sha Dingzhou.

He Wuzou composed himself: "Your Majesty, this matter is strange. The Duke of Guizhou replaced me in the Ming Dynasty to guard Yunnan, so why did he suddenly rebel? Sha Dingzhou is just a chieftain, and I have never guarded a province with a chieftain in the Ming Dynasty. It is a precedent. Wu Zhaoyuan and Wang Xigun were both imperial officials, so they must know this. However, they both wrote letters at the same time recommending Sha Dingzhou as the deputy governor of Yunnan. The two memorials are exactly the same, which is suspicious."

Emperor Longwu sighed. Things have not been going well for him recently. News came not long ago that the great scholar Huang Daozhou was surrounded by the Qing army in Jiangxi and died heroically. Emperor Longwu's hope for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was only in the direction of Wuchang and Jingzhou.

"I believe that there are two possibilities for this matter: one is that Mu Tianbo really rebelled, and Sha Dingzhou defeated him. Wu Zhaoyuan and Wang Xigun felt that Sha Dingzhou had great achievements, so they recommended Sha Dingzhou; the other is that Mu Tianbo Tianbo didn't fight back, but Sha Dingzhou did. He controlled Wu Zhaoyuan and Wang Xigan and forced them to write letters of recommendation. No matter what the possibility is, it seems that Yunnan has fallen into Sha Dingzhou's hands," Emperor Longwu said leisurely .

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. There are many chieftains in Yunnan, and it will not be easy for Sha Dingzhou to control the whole of Yunnan. Now that the Northern Expedition to Wuchang is about to begin, you can leave the memorial unpublished until the Northern Expedition is successful, and then find out the truth and deal with it." He Wuzuo said.

"What if Sha Dingzhou attacks Guizhou? Zeng Yi, Zhang Yao and the others are resisting the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong. If Sha Dingzhou attacks from behind, Guizhou may not be owned by the state." Emperor Longwu was a little worried.< /p>

"This??, Your Majesty is very concerned about this, and I have no time to deal with it."

"Alas! Regardless of whether Mu Tianbo rebelled or not, I can only treat him as rebelling. I sent a decree to commend Wang Xigun, Wu Zhaoyuan, and Sha Dingzhou for their meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion. In addition, Mu Tianbo's younger brother Mu Tianze was allowed to take over the position of Duke of Guizhou. Sha The matter of Dingzhou guarding Yunnan should be put aside for a while before we talk about it." Emperor Longwu made the decision.

What happened in Yunnan is a long story.

The Ming Dynasty now only has the ruins of seven provinces, and several emperors have been killed. Some ambitious chieftains in Yunnan can't hold it in any longer.

First, Wu Bikui, the chieftain of Wuding, rebelled. He uttered wild words: There is no longer Emperor Zhu, so how can there be Duke Mu? We should not take Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, who was the governor of Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty, into consideration.

Mu Tianbo summoned a large number of chieftains such as Long Zaitian, the chieftain of Shiping, Wang Yangzu, the towering chieftain, Sha Dingzhou, the Mengzi chieftain, Lu Yongming, the Ningzhou chieftain, Diao Xun, the Jingdong chieftain, to deal with Wu Bikui.

After cleaning up Wu Bikui, do we need to have a celebratory drink? So Mu Tianbo held a banquet in the house and invited these toasts who had worked hard to drink.

The Mu family has been in Yunnan for more than two hundred years and has been rich! The banquets were extravagant, showing great economic strength.

Sha Dingzhou, chieftain of Mengzi, took a look and said, "Old Mu, the old Mu family is so rich and doesn't have many troops, so I might as well rob his family.

So on December 1, the first year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty, Sha Dingzhou and other chieftains returned to the village, pretended to say goodbye to Mu Tianbo, and suddenly attacked the Duke of Guizhou's mansion.

Mu Tianbo was caught off guard and had to flee from Kunming to Chuxiong. His wife and children were separated, his family was destroyed, and his mother Chen and his wife Jiao committed suicide.

After Sha Dingzhou occupied Kunming, he captured the academician Wang Xigan and the governor of Yunnan Wu Zhaoyuan, confiscated their seals, and then pretended to be their names and sent them to Emperor Longwu, falsely accusing Mu Tianbo of rebellion and demanding that Sha Dingzhou be allowed to guard Yunnan.<

Sha Dingzhou made a fortune after capturing Mu Mansion.

Lao Mu's family was so rich that it took Sha Dingzhou several months to transport it back to his hometown.

If he had money, he would have soldiers. He recruited troops and quickly controlled the entire Yunnan except Chuxiong.

Suddenly the land of Yunnan changed.

??

"I, Wang Xigun, a scholar of Dongge University, wept bitterly and reported: Now His Majesty flew to Haidian, set up a net to recruit people, and asked me to call for a large-scale suppression and other things. He was not more than a few days ago, and he was promoted to the title of pavilion again, and he was doing all kinds of things in Yunnan.

The imperial edict is in full compliance with the imperial edict. However, we encountered many difficulties and set up a treacherous plan for the thief Sha Dingzhou to embarrass the city. We were in a dilemma, and we were neighbors with all the devils. The thief and his ministers supported their troops and respected themselves, forcing them to bully the officials. This is how they rebel.

You know there is a court! Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, and others not only failed to correct the situation, but waved their tails and listened to it. The Yunnan incident is really unspeakable. I have a bloody nature and always have righteous indignation. I can only sacrifice my life and act as soon as possible. Please send me your Majesty as soon as possible.

A large army, to conquer the rebels and punish the ugly people. Your Majesty's imperial edict is true. I have a dignified body and am not afraid of death. As a king, there must be ministers, and I am willing to take charge of them in order to repay your Majesty's kindness in knowing me."

In the city of Kunming, Wang Xigan, a scholar of Dongge University in the Longwu Dynasty, bit his finger and wrote "Xue Shu".
