In the fourth year of Chongzhen, when Mu Tianbo was only fourteen years old, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture (now Kaiyuan City, Honghe Prefecture) rebelled. At that time, Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou
His father, Sha Yuan (who later turned out to be very loyal to the Mu family and very contradictory), had secretly collaborated with Pu Ming to make songs.
Shayuan was the chieftain of Wangnong, and his territory was now Mengzi. In the south of Ami Prefecture, the two people's territories were connected. Later, after the death of Pumingming, his wife Wan remarried to Shadingzhou, and the two chieftains merged into one.
The Mengzi Tusi of Shadingzhou is now the largest Tusi in Yunnan.
Sha Dingzhou is a careerist and even a conspirator. From the moment he heard the news about Wu Bikui's rebellion, he guessed that this guy would most likely be defeated miserably. Although the Ming Dynasty was already riddled with holes, and although Prince Mu's palace was no longer what it used to be,
But he has not yet reached the point where a chieftain can challenge him in a duel. In the past, Pu's reputation was not good, and neither is Wu Bikui's current one.
But the Mu family is not really invincible. One-on-one combat is not possible. If we work together, we have a much better chance of winning. But who will take the lead? And not just anyone can take the lead. First, you must have strength and hope.
You can respond to everything at once, otherwise like Wu Bikui, who is taking the lead now, but no one agrees, it will still be a one-on-one challenge.
It is said that although forming a group to rebel has a high chance of winning, there are few people who do business together without falling out in the end, and they end up in a big fight, so this is not a good idea. However, Sha Dingzhou thought of an excellent and trouble-free method early on.
method.
If the light thing doesn't work, the dark thing will come.
Historical data says that Sha Dingzhou is cunning and cunning, and there is a reason for this.
He just likes to have sex! This is very similar to Chang Yu.
This is why Chang Yu rushed here in person, thinking that he knows that it is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows, especially for people like himself who are good at using underhanded tactics.
If you can't beat him in a single fight, or if you have a group fight where the spoils are unevenly divided and there's a big fight, you can do it by yourself over there, using underhand tricks! This is what he's best at, and he's already well prepared and well-planned. The counselor Tang Jibin keeps instigating Prince Mu's Mansion and the local Yamen team.
The conflict between Ruan Chenglin and Ruan Chenglin's adopted son also took refuge, and there were also two generals from Prince Mu's palace who acted as internal agents. He was calculating mentally but not knowingly. Now that the east wind was coming, he took action and learned that Mu Tianbo personally led the army to pursue the victory.
During the rebellion, he sent troops from Mongolia and walked for more than ten days to Chengjiang, a hundred miles southeast of Kunming. While resting on the north side of Fuxian Lake, he received the latest news that the chieftain coalition was besieging Dingyuan (today's Mouding).
This was good news for Wu Bikui's hometown Yuanmou, but Mu Tianbo was not on the front line. He had returned to Kunming at some point and was sitting in the city at this time.
Mu Tianbo actually returned to Kunming City, which made Sha Dingzhou Juhua couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that he felt something?
It's unlikely. Sha Dingzhou, his wife and Tang Jiajia carefully calculated it and felt that they didn't reveal any flaws. Could it be that there was a traitor who tipped off Prince Mu's palace?
It is also impossible. His plan for Prince Mu's Mansion is extremely confidential. Apart from his wife and Tang Jiajia, only Ruan Yunjia knows about it. However, he and Prince Mu's Mansion have a grudge against him for killing his father and it was he who came to bewitch him. As for Prince Mu's Mansion,
The two traitors only knew that he was going to do something, but they didn't know exactly what he was going to do or when he was going to do it. They just said that when the time came, they could just follow his orders. They didn't know any details.
Several people thought about it over and over again and felt that the matter had not been exposed. There was only one possibility. Mu Tianbo felt that the situation there was settled or that he could not bear the pain of joining the army so he returned to Kunming City. It had nothing to do with him.
Military advisor Tang Jiajin believed that as long as Mu Tianbo was not suspicious and unprepared for them, it didn't matter whether he returned to Kunming or not and how many troops he brought with him. Anyway, we had no intention of fighting him openly, but Sha Dingzhou ordered him to be just in case.
The troops moved slowly and sent another person to Kunming to find the traitor Yuan Guohong to find out the truth.
Besides, Mu Tianbo led his troops back to Kunming and received unprecedented popularity from the people. After ten days of mobilizing troops and ten days of fighting, the traitor Wu Bikui was beaten back steadily. Frankly speaking, Prince Mu's palace is indeed a general family whose youth is better than the previous generation.
Strong and the like, Mu Tianbo was so excited that he felt so confident that he was so confident. This was exactly what he needed to revive the majesty and prestige of Prince Mu's Mansion, and he did it!
And just in the past few days when he returned to the army, there were constant good reports on the battle ahead. Wu Bikui was still unsure about retreating to his old home Yuanmou. Should he continue to attack and directly level his territory, or should he beat him and then return to the army?
?
For this reason, Mu Tianbo had a fierce battle with the governor and the Third Division. According to the wishes of Wu Zhaoyuan and others, he would give up as soon as it was good. He was afraid that I would jump over the wall and fight for his life. That is because his territory has home field advantage, and it may not be possible to continue the fight.
It's better to ask for it. If you get into a fight, you will waste people and money, not to mention that you will be taken advantage of by thieves... Besides, the emperor's will is to appease the emperor and peace is the most important. Now we have learned what we should teach him, so there is no need to put him to death.
beated.
After hearing this, Mu Tianbo couldn't help but want to scold his mother. He didn't let me beat him from the beginning. I don't know what your thoughts are. Now is the time to annihilate them in one fell swoop. How can we just let it go? This time
Just to kill Wu Bikui and show the chicken to the monkey, let’s see who dares to rebel in the future!
Yunnan belongs to Prince Mu's Mansion, no one else can get involved.
As long as there is Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan, no one can even think about it!
When Wu Zhaoyuan and others saw that Mu Tianbo was not getting along well, he continued to fight. Thinking that he could no longer coddle him, he began to become adamant, saying that he would not comply with the order, that he would go to war, and that he would cooperate with him! This was considered a break-up.
Mu Tianbo is not afraid, you take your part, I only need to defeat Wu Bikui in one fell swoop, and the emperor will be happy before it is too late, so he will not punish him, so he sent an order to the front line to continue the attack and enter Wu Bikui's territory.
In a few days, two pieces of news came.
In the first battle of the attack on Yuanmou, the chieftain coalition led by Li Dazhi encountered Wu Bikui's unprecedented fierce resistance. As expected, Wu Zhaoyuan was right. Wu Bikui knew that he had no way out and fought a bloody battle with the coalition forces, forcing the coalition forces to retreat.
This was the first defeat since the suppression of the rebellion. Wu Zhaoyuan and others took the opportunity to persuade Mu Tianbo to negotiate peace with Wu Bikui. Both sides had difficulties in this situation, but Mu Tianbo felt that it was a shame and refused to listen to the order and continued to advance. Wu Zhaoyuan was also angry
Okay, if you resist the order again, I will order the troops to withdraw!
The governor has various administrative, military, supervisory, judicial and other powers in a province. He is the highest local governor together with the governor. He also has the role of restraining the power of Prince Mu's palace, preventing it from being the only one. Mu Tianbo wants to advance, and Wu Zhaoyuan
Want to go with him. He is the governor of Yunnan and has this right.
Mu Tianbo was naturally annoyed but had nothing to do. Just as the two parties were fighting, another news came that Sha Dingzhou was here!
This is a timely rain! Mu Tianbo was overjoyed. His original intention of returning to Kunming was to guard against Sha Dingzhou, but now it was a difficult time to fight with Wu Zhaoyuan. Wu Zhaoyuan wanted to withdraw his troops. OK, you withdraw the officers and soldiers, and I will use the toast
The coalition forces went to fight.
Theoretically, Wu Zhaoyuan also has the right to dispatch chieftains, but the problem is that the chieftains in Yunnan are almost not as important as the imperial court, and most of them focus on Prince Mu's palace. Wu Zhaoyuan cannot command them at all.
Mu Tianbo said harshly that he would personally lead the coalition of chieftains to capture Wu Bikui's head. Even if Wu Zhaoyuan wanted to stop him, he couldn't. I'm not afraid of you going to the emperor to complain. I have to fight anyway, no one can say.
Works great!
Wu Zhaoyuan was also anxious. To be honest, although he had selfish motives, he still focused on the overall situation. He was really afraid that the court and Wu Bikui would fall into a stalemate, which would allow the thieves to take advantage of them. Moreover, the imperial edict repeatedly told them to value peace because they were afraid of falling into stalemate.
He didn't want to disobey the order.
But Mu Tianbo, who was young and full of energy and was singing all the way, felt dissatisfied when he was suddenly blocked. He couldn't hold it down even if he pressed on. Although he had already got the discount, it would take ten and a half months at the fastest to go back and forth across the mountains and rivers. At that time,
The day lilies are cold.
So Wu Zhaoyu decided to take a cruel move! He threw out the secret edict given to him by Emperor Chongzhen: "The emperor gave the secret edict to the Duke of Guo, saying that peace is the most important thing, not to cause chaos in Yunnan and to beware of Sha Dingzhou. At the same time, he also sent a message to his subordinates.
Secret edict to urge the Duke of the country, what does this mean? Wu Bikui is not worried now, but is offering the thieves and Sha Dingzhou!"
Mu Tianbo was stunned. It turned out that the emperor had given a secret order to the governor of Yunnan to supervise him. It seemed that things were not as simple as he thought. But then again, how could the imperial court understand Yunnan across thousands of mountains and rivers?
Since Prince Mu’s house knows better, aren’t we afraid that the court may have misjudged it?
"Even if the imperial court misjudged Sha Dingzhou, the current situation is really unfolding in front of us. Zhang Xianzhong is in Sichuan, right? If we have an endless battle with Nawu Bikui, will he come in? And Nasha
Dingzhou, what if there is really something wrong? Aren't you afraid that he secretly has some connection with Wu Bikui? Don't you think carefully about why he is so dawdling?"
After all, Mu Tianbo was still young, and he was a little impulsive and thoughtless when things happened. Now that Wu Zhaoyuan and others gave him a heads-up, he was no longer so impulsive. He had been alert to Sha Dingzhou before returning to Kunming City, but Wu Zhaoyuan and others woke him up.
, I feel more and more suspicious about Sha Dingzhou.
