432 History of the Southeastern Chaos
In fact, most of the places in the Southeast Peninsula were originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Sanxuan and Liuhui were established on the Southeast Peninsula.
The three Xuans are Nandian Xuanfu Division, Ganya Xuanfu Division, and Longchuan Xuanfu Division.
The six comforts are Mengyang Xuanwei Department, Mubang Xuanwei Department, Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Eight Hundred Xuanwei Department, Cheli Xuanwei Department and Lao Xuanwei Department.
All three Xuan and six comforts belong to the Yunnan Commander Command and Commissioner, and are also supervised by the Yunnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Department and the Yunnan Criminal Censorate Department.
Some people believe that the Xuanfu Department and the Xuanwei Department are like vassal states, not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, nor are they under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
Actually, it is not the case.
Xuanfu Department and Xuanfu Department are completely different from vassal states.
The vassal states were indeed not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so they also showed their subordinate relationship through tribute, and the Ming Dynasty only proved this subordinate relationship by canonizing its king.
The Ming Dynasty did not care about the affairs of the vassal states, and the Ming Dynasty would not recruit troops in the vassal states. Even if a battle broke out near the vassal states, the Ming Dynasty would only let the vassal states send troops to cooperate in the battle. It would not say that it would be necessary to recruit many troops and hand them over to the generals dispatched by the Ministry of War to command.
The Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division are different. Even if it is not a battle near the Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division, the Ming Dynasty often dispatched Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division to participate in the war.
The most obvious example is Shizhu Xuanwei Office. The Baigang soldiers of Shizhu Xuanwei Office are famous elites of the Ming army. The Ming court did not know how many times they had recruited, including the Liaodong War, the northwest suppression of thieves, the southwest suppression of rebellions, and the Ming court summoned the Baigang soldiers of Shizhu Xuanwei Office.
In addition, the generals of the Shizhu Xuanwei Division, including Qin Banghan, Qin Bangping, Qin Minping, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, Ma Xianglin and other generals of the Shizhu Xuanwei Division were all killed in the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty, and even the Shizhu Xuanwei envoy Ma Xianglin's wife Zhang Fengyi died in the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty.
If Xuanwei Office did not belong to the Ming Dynasty, would they fight for the Ming Dynasty so hard?
Therefore, Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division are not of the same nature as vassal states. The territory under Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Except for certain autonomy, they all have the same characteristics as ordinary prefectures in the Ming Dynasty.
The territory under the command of the Yunnan Commander-in-Chief was also the territory of the Ming Dynasty and was not a vassal state at all.
Originally, when the Ming Dynasty was strong, the Southeast Peninsula was still calm, and these three Xuan and six comforts were quite obedient.
However, after the orthodox dynasty of Yingzong, the power of the Ming Dynasty declined day by day. Many vassal states that originally depended on the Ming Dynasty stopped paying tribute, and the chieftains who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty also began to be dishonest.
The most famous one is the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the Bozhou Xuanwei envoy of the Wanli Dynasty.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty court directly assembled a large army to destroy Yang Yinglong, and at the same time directly divided the jurisdiction of the Xuanwei Office of Bozhou into the Peaceful Yue Office of Zunyi Office, which was under the jurisdiction of the Zhengicun Office of Sichuan Chengxuan and the Zhengicun Office of Guizhou Chengxuan.
This historical record is very clear, but the historical records of the Three Propaganda and Six Condor seem to be very clear.
What's going on?
Regarding the three Xuan and Liu Fu, there are also things like Yuan Keli, Liu Aita and Anshe Rebellion. Some people have done too much, and they have no shame to record it!
In fact, during the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong, the Three Propagandas and Six Comforts began to be in chaos.
At that time, the Mengyang Xuanwei Office and the Mubang Xuanwei Office took advantage of the weakening of the Ming Dynasty to jointly attack the Myanmar Xuanwei Office. The Myanmar Xuanwei Envoy appointed by the court was directly killed by them, and the place of the Myanmar Xuanwei Office was also divided by the Mengyang Xuanwei Office and the Mubang Xuanwei Office.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty court was no longer able to control the chieftains in the extreme west and south. Although the Myanmar Xuanwei envoy Mang Jisui wrote letters to the Ming Dynasty for help many times, the Ming Dynasty court did not send troops to rescue him.
As a result, the Myanmar Sunwei Department was destroyed!
If that's the case, that's fine.
After all, Xuanweisi was just attacking each other, and did not rebel, and went to war with the court.
However, this incident laid a hidden danger, because Mang Jisui's wife was a royal family in the Donghu royal family. After his youngest son Mang Ruiti fled to Donghu, he vowed to avenge his father.
It's okay. Donghu was originally just a country under the jurisdiction of the Myanmar Xuanwei Department, and its strength was not very strong.
The problem is that this Mang Rui style is the orthodox Myanmar’s orthodox consolation!
When he grew up and regained the hometown of Xuanwei Office in Myanmar, he was simply a response, and his voice was not too loud.
As a result, he not only defeated Meng Yang Xuanwei Office and Mubang Xuanwei Office, regained the former place of Myanmar Xuanwei Office, but also established himself as king in the name of Donghu, and announced that he would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty!
He also madly attacked Mengyang Xuanwei Office, Mubang Xuanwei Office, even the Eight Hundred Xuanwei Office and Lao Xuanwei Office, and continued to conquer cities and territory.
This is equivalent to rebellion.
However, it was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty court was so anxious that it was captured by the southern and northern Japanese. It was simply unable to deal with the three Xuans and six comfort matters, and the court still did not send troops.
The Donghu Dynasty also rose to prominence and became the largest force in the Southeast Peninsula.
After Mang Ruiti's death, his half-brother Mang Yinglong was extremely arrogant and led his army to the hinterland of Yunnan!
Fortunately, it was the time of the revival of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng implemented the new policy, and the Ming Dynasty's national strength became increasingly stronger, and the Ming court no longer used the Donghu Dynasty.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty court directly appointed the Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo, the general officer of Yunnan, and sent Liu Shizeng, the right censor of the Censorate, to be the governor of Yunnan. Then he mobilized troops from several southwest provinces to start quelling the rebellion.
This time, the Ming Dynasty court suppressed the rebellion relatively successfully.
The powerful generals Liu Jing and Deng Zilong led their troops to join forces with San Xuan Liu to comfort other chieftains and defeated the Burmese army in Panzhihua, south of Yao Pass.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Jing led his army to Awa City, the capital of the Donghu Dynasty, and forced the surrender of Donghu Prime Minister Yue Feng and General Mangzhuo, and took the Donghu Capital.
At this point, the rebellion of the Xuanwei Office in Myanmar was basically put down, and only Mang Yingli, the son of Donghu Wang Mang Yinglong, escaped.
Liu Jing was still building an altar in Weiyuan Camp and vowed to the public: Six comforts and expansions, three publicity restoration, all the nobles, seek tribute and tribute, wash armor and golden sand, hide swords and think about the cave, do not let go or capture, the southerners submit to themselves!
Unfortunately, after Zhang Juzheng's death, Shenzong Wanli was like a wild horse that broke free. He was doing nonsense. He actually sent eunuch Yang Rong to Yunnan to start a mine and collect taxes!
Now, Yunnan was directly destroyed by this eunuch!
After Yang Rong arrived in Yunnan, he became a local emperor, who was free to act, acted freely, sucked bones and marrow, and made money.
Anyone who dares not listen to him will be dealt with by him in the name of the court!
Yunnan Governor Chen Yongbin, Yunnan Governor Cai Ruchuan, Yunnan Commander Fan Gaoming, Yunnan Commander Gan Xueshu, etc. were all arrested and imprisoned for offending taxes. There were thousands of local officials and ordinary people who were tortured and tortured to death by him.
At that time, the Duke of Qian was so scared that he dared not speak up, for fear of being harmed by the eunuchs favored by Wanli.
A eunuch actually thought he was a local emperor.
Whether it is a court official or a commoner, he will arrest him and kill him. If he dares to be dissatisfied, he will be tortured and beat him to death!
The real emperor Wanli is not as arrogant as him!
Wanli didn't care about the problem and indulged his misconduct, no matter how the imperial officials impeached him!
Yang Rong's misconduct directly caused civil unrest. Commander He Shixun led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians into his tax yamen and directly killed more than 200 Yang Rong and his subordinates.
When the Shenzong Wanli heard that Yang Rong was killed, he was still very sad. He had not eaten for several days. Finally, he issued an order to kill the commander He Shixun and other "rebels" before giving up!
He had no idea how serious the consequences Yang Rong had caused.
At that time, the entire Yunnan military and political system was almost paralyzed by Yang Rong alone, and no one cared about San Xuan Liuwei. Donghu Wang Mang Yingli also took the opportunity to make a comeback and directly killed San Xuan Liuwei!
At that time, the Ming Dynasty court also exhausted its national strength due to the three major expeditions and was unable to control the affairs of the Southeast anymore. At this point, all of them were separated from the control of the Ming Dynasty and became the world of the Eastern Hu Dynasty!
This is the "Yang Rong's chaos in Yunnan" that officials of the Wanli Dynasty did not want to mention.
Because this matter is ridiculous!
A eunuch can be so lawless!
A person who is an emperor can be so ridiculous!
How could Wanli be embarrassed to write down such a shameful thing in detail?
He would burn him when he saw the detailed records!
Such a ridiculous thing is not embarrassing to record it!
Taichang couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the chaos in the southeast.
He was the prince of the Eastern Palace at that time, so he naturally heard about these things.
Unfortunately, he was equivalent to an abolished prince at that time and had no power at all!
However, it's different now.
The Donghu Dynasty is crazy enough. Do you want to unify the Southeast Peninsula, right?
Mang Yingli, you can do it, you actually led your army to Siam.
Very good, just to calculate the old accounts of the year with you!
Thinking of this, Taichang waved directly: "Map."
Upon hearing this, Cao Huachun hurriedly found the map of the Southeast Peninsula and ordered people to spread it out in front of him.
Taichang pointed directly at the map and asked, "How many people in Donghu are there? Where have they all been attacked?"
This means that the emperor is preparing to send troops to rescue him!
Upon hearing this, Zheng Sui quickly lowered his head and looked at the map carefully.
He looked carefully for a while before pointing to the north of the Siam Royal City and said, "Your Majesty, Donghu has a total of more than 300,000 troops. At this moment, they have almost occupied the north of the Great City. Their vanguard is less than a hundred miles away from the Great City."
More than 300,000 people?
Taichang was stunned when he heard this.
He thought for a while, then asked solemnly: "You said they purchased muskets and artillery from the European barbarians. Do you know how many muskets and artillery they have?"
Zheng Sui thought about it for a while before he estimated: "Weichen has never been to the front line. He is not very clear about how many muskets and artillery they have. However, according to the description of the Siam general, they should have hundreds of muskets and dozens of artillery."
Fortunately, there are only a few muskets and cannons.
If Donghu had tens of thousands of muskets and hundreds of cannons, it would be troublesome. You should know that there are more than 300,000 troops. Even if the soldiers of the Shenji Camp can handle it, there will be heavy casualties and injuries!
Taichang thought about it again, then asked: "Where is Siam, how many troops are there under the command of the Siam King?"
Zheng Sui said without hesitation: "North of Siam has mobilized 100,000 troops to guard the royal city. There are probably not many troops in other places."
There are more than 100,000 to more than 300,000, and with hundreds of muskets and dozens of artillery, how many people need to be sent to support it?
