Guizhou, Shuixi.

General Jingnan, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Grand Tutor, Duke of Qi, Liu Qiao, and Duke of Qi, rode his troops through the rice fields crisscrossing the fields. Guiyang is located in the middle of the hills of the Qianzhong Mountains, and the watershed area between the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. The overall terrain is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. Miaoling is undulating in the territory of Miaoling, and the hills and basins, valleys and depressions.

Guiyang's landform belongs to the mountainous and hilly Qiuyuan Basin area, with more mountains and few dams.

The sun is extremely hot in July, but the rice in the ground is growing just in time.

"The road is not bad." Liu Qiao said to the staff officers beside him with a smile.

Liu Qiao entered Guangxi from Guangdong, and then received an order from the court to transfer to Guizhou.

Following Liu Qiao were the soldiers and generals of the two towns who went south to suppress the rebellion. The main force of the rebellion this time was transferred from the capital area, and many of them were generals of the Chu army who had fought major wars. The troops in Guangdong and Guangxi remained in the area. The troops from these two towns who went south will be stationed in Guangxi and Guizhou in the future after quelling the rebellion.

They all came prepared and had a detailed understanding of the situation in Guizhou.

"It was indeed very meaningful to build Longchang Jiuyi back then. Over the years, the Longchang Jiuyi am Avenue has been an important connection between Guizhou and the outside world." A adviser said with a smile.

Longchang Jiuyi was the chieftain of Shuishi and Shuishi. The person who practiced was still the two female chieftains called Lady Shexiang and Liu Shuzhen.

Mrs. Shexiang's back then was actually similar to the current Sichuan Governor Qin Liangyu.

The difference is that Shizhu Tusi is a Tu ethnic group, while Shuixi is an Yi ethnic group.

The ancestors of the Yi people in Shuixi can be traced back to the ancient Di and Qiang people in the northwest, and entered the territory of Guizhou. During the Shu Han Dynasty, his leader was named King of Luodian because of his contributions to assisting Zhuge Liang in the southern expedition.

From then on, it has maintained contact with the Central Plains Central Dynasty. It was called the Luoshi Ghost Kingdom or the Luoshi Ghost Kingdom during the Tang and Song dynasties. Its jurisdiction was divided into water east and water west in the later period.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Shuixi was changed to the Yixibu Xue General Administration Office, and the chief of Shuixi Acha was appointed as the general administration, and the chief system was initiated. His descendants inherited the position of Xuanfu Envoy and became the highest local official in the northwest Guizhou and even in Guizhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and restored China. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the chieftains of all ethnic groups in the southwest were willing to surrender, they would still be allowed to continue to be local chieftains, and they would still be hereditary.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Ai Cui, the envoy of Xuanfu in the West and Song Menggu, the co-magistrate of Xuanfu in the East, came to the court to attack his posts, and was immediately appointed as the chief and deputy Xuanfu envoy, and moved the capital to Guizhou, which was later Guiyang.

Later, Song Qin died and Ai Cui was old. Qin's wife Liu Shuzhen and Cui's wife Shexiang were taken over.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Yuan Dynasty and became the lord of the Central Plains. He was also very suspicious of the strength of the chieftains in the southwest. At that time, the chieftains in the Shuixi called Xuanfusi, which was the official granted by the Ming Dynasty. However, they called themselves "Zhumu" and their wife called "Naiye", and they were the largest slave owner and the highest ruler in the entire territory.

It has nine le, nine lunar and thirteen creeks, and earthen houses, forming a strict administrative system that ruled all ethnic groups in the entire territory. The entire territory is thirteen creeks. Each creek is a Muzhuo, and it is held by Zhumu's clan relatives, and it is also under the capital of Mukui, which is like the Han Dynasty's fiefdom. Zhumu has set up official villages in each creek, and those who have farmed were official households; all the officials and officials at the lower level were granted land, and people of all ethnic groups were farmed to form a slave system.

After the water returned to the west and the Ming Dynasty, the annual tribute of square veins and horses was 4,000 miles away, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and its power was unprecedentedly strong.

This attracted speculation from the Ming Dynasty officials. Ma Ye, the commander of the Ming court stationed in Guizhou, deliberately provoked a conflict and publicly beat Mrs. Shexiang, which almost triggered a rebellion by the noble chieftains at that time.

At that time, She Xiang and Liu Shuzhen knew the power of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to rebel. They went directly to Beijing to file a lawsuit and expressed their willingness to open mountains, build roads and set up post stations.

Shexiang's move did indeed make the Ming Dynasty unable to find a reason to attack the chieftain at that time. After Shexiang returned to Guizhou, she personally led each tribe to open two post roads centered on the bridge, one to the west and the other to the north, and the post roads crossed Guizhou, opening up the passage between Sichuan, Yunnan and Hunan, and stabilizing the situation in the southwest, and clearly judging the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

After that, the Dingshui River in the Ming Dynasty sent 30,000 shi a year.

However, during the Wanli period, Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou in the northwest of the water, rebelled. The court launched a large-scale military force against Guizhou. After quelling the rebellion of Bozhou, it implemented the reform of the land and returned to the liberated land, divided Bozhou into two parts, partly into Sichuan, and partly into Guizhou. The original chieftain was established as a county, and assigned to serve as a liberated official.

After that, the relationship with the chieftains became increasingly tense.

During the Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen periods, the Xuanfu envoy of Yongning, Sichuan, She Chongming rebelled and captured Chongqing, Zunyi, and the Shuxi Xuanwei Tongzhi Anbangyan, held Xuanwei envoy Allah to respond, captured Bijie, Anshun, Guiyang, and Zhanyi, Yunnan, and killed the Ming Governor.

The She'an Rebellion was more destructive than the Bozhou Rebellion. After Guiyang was breached, more than 100,000 people were killed. This chaos lasted for more than ten years, with nine years of large-scale war, with millions of casualties.

Later, She Chongming and An Bangyan died in battle. An Zhen was forced to surrender because he was young. The Ming Dynasty then changed the Guizhou Xuanwei Office to the Shuixi Xuanwei Office, and still regarded An Zhen as the Xuanwei Envoy, and stipulated that he was not allowed to interfere in military and civil affairs. The An Zhen's jurisdiction and power were greatly reduced. However, the Shuidong Song family was dismissed from the chieftain and the Shuidong was assigned to the jurisdiction of Guiyang Prefecture.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Shuixi had always been unclear in attitude, especially Shuixi took advantage of the Ming Dynasty in the Han Dynasty to enter Shuidong and occupy Guiyang.

This time when Liu Qiao sent troops, the emperor specially asked him to enter Guizhou first, so that these people would express their surrender.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, the Madam Shexiang incident began, but it was finally left unresolved. In the following two hundred years, although the Han people continued to expand southwest, in fact, these chieftains were still the local emperors.

Once the local officials have any actions that are too high, they will rebel immediately.

Liu Jun would never allow his empire, and there were such a country. Therefore, this time, he took advantage of the opportunity to quell the rebellion and sent a large army to the southwest.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw several elite troops from the town to go south to deal with some former Ming gangs.

"Guiyang looks very desolate." Liu Qiao sighed.

Although the journey along the way is quite peaceful, compared with the bustling and livelyness of all parts of the Central Plains today, after entering Guizhou, it is like entering a primitive forest.

"The She'an Rebellion is only more than ten years away, and the Bozhou Rebellion is only more than forty years away. These two major chaos have spread across Guizhou and poisoned Guizhou. In terms of the She'an Rebellion, nearly 30,000 rebels killed by the court and captured more than 10,000 people. Especially when the rebels surrounded Guiyang for more than half a year, the soldiers and civilians fed each other. It is said that at that time, the people fled into Guiyang City at that time, and finally more than 20,000 people were left. At that time, General Zhang Yanfang publicly organized the murder, and then clearly marked the price and sold it publicly. Four kilograms of human flesh are worth one tael of silver."

A staff officer said.

Liu Qiao felt that the number 400,000 might be a bit watery, but the matter of killing people for food would definitely not be fake. On the battlefield in Liaodong, the siege of Daling River, Zu Dashou and others were trapped in the city. They just rely on eating people for so long and finally ate more than 10,000 people.

However, in the past fifty years, although the Daliang Kingdom did not finally establish, the damage caused was extremely great.

Today, Guiyang Prefecture has no bustling and prosperous capital that should be as good as a small county town in Guangdong.

The Shuixi'an family has controlled this area for more than a thousand years from the Three Kingdoms period to the present, especially since they have been in marriage with all the chieftains. During the She'an Rebellion, the She'an family in Sichuan was in-laws with the An family.

Although the Shuixi'an clan was very weak during the She'an Rebellion, it was still the well-deserved first chieftain in Guizhou.

If Liu Qiao wants to control Guizhou, he must first suppress the Shuixi'an clan.

Although Guizhou is remote, such a large place can only pay 30,000 shi of tuition to the court in a year, which is not as much as a county in the southeast. Especially now, the chieftains in Guizhou have not even paid 30,000 shi of tuition to the court a year.

"After the Bozhou Rebellion was pacified, the court killed many chieftains and barbarians. Finally, the land was changed to the remnants, and the territory owned by these chieftains was directly included in the court. If the chieftains such as the Shuixi'an clan wanted to resist the imperial power, then I would rather have hope." Liu Qiao laughed.

The other soldiers were almost the same. When they came, everyone had already understood the purpose of the trip.

The Han Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang had just tried it, but he retreated and did not dare to take action again. As a result, there was a Ming Dynasty, where the southwestern chieftains rebelled countless large and small rebellions. The Han Dynasty's court has now settled the Manchus and Mongolia in the north and settled the Central Plains in the north. Now it is ready to fight these southwestern chieftains.

Especially the soldiers of the Han army, they came not for a large-scale parade, but they just hoped to fight a few battles well, make achievements, and be awarded titles and awarded merits.

Guiyang City is still far away, and a team of cavalry rushed towards him.

The one who came was Liu Qiao's personal guard.

"Have the news been sent to the city?" Liu Qiao asked.

"When I go back to the Grand Marshal, my subordinates have sent the news of Grand Marshal's arrival to the An family in Guiyang City. But."

"Just what?"

"According to the command of the commander, his subordinates went to inform the An family, asking them to prepare barracks and food for the army, and asked them to go out of the city to greet him. However, An family said that An was unwell and could not come to greet him. He also said that the city was small and there was no open space to accommodate our soldiers, so that we could station outside the city."

"Then the An family is all sick, and none of them are well?" Liu Qiao's face darkened. "When An's uncle She Chongming and his uncle An Bangyan rebelled and surrounded Guiyang, the people who fled into the city could tolerate 400,000. Can't they tolerate our army now?"

Liu Qiao would not believe that he was sick, nor did he believe that there was no place to accommodate Han Jun in the city.

This place is a death sentence.

"Prepare the banner, beat the drums and trumpets, and enter the city!"

Liu Qiao grabbed the horse's belly and looked like frost. He led his troops to kill Guiyang City with a fierce look. (To be continued.)
