The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 628: Wanli's Three Major Expeditions: Conquering the Yang Family in Bozhou
The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"The Dongyi clown."

Liu Che flicked his sleeves, raised his head slightly and said:
"North Korea is a vassal of the world, and now it is in trouble. How can we just sit back and watch?"

"If the weak are not supported, who will cherish virtue? If the strong escape punishment, who will fear power?"

"We must fight the war against Japan!"

"And we must win!"

"Use this battle to tell the world!"

"Our Central Plains is full of benevolence and grace. Those who are obedient will be helped in any difficulty! The righteous and the martial are vigorous. Those who are arrogant will be killed no matter how strong they are!"

Wei Zifu's beautiful eyes are bright and shining.

Although she hated the man's hard-heartedness, the aura of an emperor who was able to rule over all the barbarians and make his own decisions did make her convinced.

……

[The last of Wanli's three major expeditions was to suppress the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Bozhou.]

[The Ming Dynasty followed the Yuan system and set up Tusi (native officials) in the southwest region, granting local ethnic leaders official titles such as Xuanweishi, Xuanfushi, Anfushi, Tuzhifu, Tuzhizhou, and Tuzhixian to implement indirect rule.]

[Bozhou is located in the southern part of Sichuan, adjacent to Guizhou. ]

【The Bozhou Xuanweishisi was a chieftain inherited by the Yang family.】

[The ancestors of the Yang family were from Taiyuan, Shanxi. During the Qianfu period of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestor Yang Duan conquered Nanzhao and was awarded the title of General Wulue. He then guarded Bozhou for generations.]

[In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), Yang Lie, the envoy of Bozhou, died, and his son Yang Yinglong inherited his position.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji was stunned at first when he saw the two words "Qian Fu" suddenly appearing. Then he sighed slightly after remembering which emperor it was.

"My Tang Dynasty really has a profound influence."

"I really am..."

I can't bring myself to scold myself.

But the source of all this may really have to be traced back to myself.

……

Southern Song Dynasty Xiaozong period
"Yang family?"

Zhao Shen knew something about the Yang family.

Since the time of Emperor Renzong, Yang Yanzhao's son Yang Chongguang adopted his son to the childless Yang Zhao of Bozhou.

After Yang Zhao's death, Yang Guiqian took over the position of the governor of Bozhou, and all the governors of Bozhou, the Yang clan, were descendants of old Yang Linggong.

And as far as he knew, the Yang family had always had a good family tradition...

……

In the 1590th year of the Wanli reign (), Yang Yinglong, under the influence of his newly-acquired fifth concubine Tian Cifeng, killed his first wife Zhang Chunhua, his mother-in-law, and the maidservants.

[Zhang Chunhua's younger brother Zhang Shizhao accused him of treason and intended to put Yang Yinglong to death.]

[Guizhou Governor Ye Mengxiong immediately submitted a memorial upon receiving the complaint, impeaching Yang Yinglong for "twenty-four major crimes", including violating the rules of the mansion and misusing eunuchs, and asked the court to punish him.]

[At that time, the imperial court was busy mobilizing troops to deal with the invasion of Songpan by the "Western Tartars". Songpan was the gateway to the entire Sichuan Province, and the Sichuan governors did not dare to neglect it, so they mobilized the Tusi soldiers of Bozhou to assist in the defense.]

[Therefore, Sichuan Governor Li Hualong wrote to Emperor Wanli, requesting that Yang Yinglong be temporarily exempted from questioning, and that he be given a chance to redeem himself for meritorious service.]

[This opened up a situation of "punishing one and pardoning the other, and dissenting opinions in Guizhou and Sichuan."]

[In February of the 1591th year of the Wanli reign (), Wanli ordered the governors of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces to investigate Yang Yinglong based on the proposal of the Ministry of War. The imperial court did not send officials to participate in this matter.]

【The result of the investigation was that the opinions were completely opposite.】

[Guizhou Governor Ye Mengxiong advocated that the Bozhou Xuanwei Office and the five offices under its jurisdiction be changed to official positions and placed under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Prefecture.]

[Li Shangsi, the governor of Sichuan, and Li Hualong, the inspector, disagreed and opposed the change of the Bozhou natives to Han people, so they resigned. Emperor Wanli did not approve it, and the matter was shelved.]

……

{There are large tracts of virgin forests in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, producing high-quality timber.}
{In the 14th year of the Wanli reign, Yang Yinglong was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief and was given a Feiyu suit for presenting 70 thousand-year-old trees to the imperial court. Wearing this bright red Feiyu suit is definitely a symbol of nobility and honor.}
｛Bozhou not only produces wood, but also specializes in tea, rice, and lead, a material needed for minting coins.｝
{From Bozhou, one can go directly to the Yangtze River along the Chishui River. The huge Bozhou caravans carried local goods down the river and entered Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing and other major cities to conduct trade. The red river water transported the white silver and yellow copper coins back to Yang Yinglong's silver vault day and night.}
｛Although Bozhou is hidden in the mountains, it has a dense population and a prosperous life, just like a small Jiangnan in Sichuan and Guizhou.｝
｛In addition, Bozhou's military strength was also very strong. The 17,000 elite soldiers trained by Yang Yinglong frequently assisted the court in suppressing rebellions and made outstanding military achievements. As a result, Yang Yinglong was named the General Guarding the Country by the court.｝
{When you say that... it's hard not to think that you're trying to force a rebellion...}
……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian touched his chin.

"... Such a thing has been lying there for a thousand years without anyone touching it."

"I don't think Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di are the kind of people who can tolerate sand in their eyes."

"Reform the land system..."

Yang Jian savored these four words.

Change chieftains into officials?

It seems that the chieftains only paid tribute but not taxes?

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
"What is this little bastard going to do again?!"

Zhu Houcong's wide robe moved without wind!

The reason why Taizu Chengzu tolerated the Yang family of Bozhou was because he was able to stabilize the chieftains of Sichuan and Guizhou!
Move, yes!

But not now!

You have made the Yang family of Bozhou a commoner, so what should the other chieftains do?
Who can control them?

If you fail to wipe them out in one fell swoop, the consequence will be continuous rebellion!

"Wanli...Minister..."

A fierce light flashed in Zhu Houcong's eyes.

This is definitely not just Wanli's idea!

Just look at what the Guizhou governor did, there are connections behind it!
……

In December of the 1592th year of the Wanli reign (), Yang Yinglong was arrested in Chongqing and sentenced to death. He offered to pay taels of silver to atone his sins, but was refused.

[At this time, the "Japanese pirates" invaded Korea, and the imperial court issued an order to recruit soldiers from all over the country. Yang Yinglong expressed to Emperor Wanli that he was willing to personally lead 5,000 troops to "conquer the Japanese pirates" and serve the country.]

【Wanli placed great importance on the Eastern Expedition and ordered the Sichuan governor to release Yang Yinglong.】

[But when Yang Yinglong was about to lead his troops north, Wanli's decree suddenly came: there was no need to transfer Yang Yinglong to the expedition.]

[As soon as the new Sichuan governor Wang Jiguang took office, he immediately ordered a strict investigation of Yang Yinglong.]

【Yang Yinglong occupied Bozhou and refused to obey.】

【Therefore, Wang Jiguang decided to attack and quell the rebellion without waiting for the imperial court’s approval.】

[In the first month of the 1593st year of the Wanli reign (), Wang Jiguang led his troops from Chongqing and arrived at Loushan Pass and other places, but was ambushed by Yang Yinglong who pretended to surrender and returned in defeat.]

……

Song Taizong period
Zhao Kuangyi twirled his beard and looked at Zhao Heng, saying calmly:

"Do you understand the reason?"

Zhao Heng smiled confidently. "No."

Zhao Kuangyi's hands tightened and his jaw felt a pain.

A beard was pulled out.

"What kind of person do you think Wanli is?"

Zhao Heng thought about it.

"Visionary, but stingy."

"After being suppressed for too long, I became a little crazy."

Zhao Kuangyi nodded slightly and said:

"He suddenly had a lot of money."

"It can pacify Ningxia and resist Japanese pirates."

"Then why can't we settle the Western Frontier?"

Zhao Heng laughed.

"War is no joke. No matter how rich you are, you can't afford to spend it like this!"

"He spends so much..."

Zhao Heng was suddenly stunned.

He suddenly thought of something, that Wanli might be joking like this.

One of the reasons why Zhang Juzheng's property was confiscated was that he was accused of accumulating wealth.

Qi Jiguang was transferred to the south only because he was Zhang Juzheng's man.

For the sake of money, he must work in Bozhou.

……

[In March of the 1594nd year of the Wanli reign (), in order to solve the Bozhou issue, Wanli appointed Xing Jie as the governor of Guizhou as the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.]

[In the first month of the following year, Xing Jie rushed to Sichuan and explained the righteousness to Yang Yinglong. He cited the previous example of the rebellion in Ningxia, and pointed out to him that if he surrendered, he would be spared, otherwise the country would offer a reward of 10,000 gold for his head.]

[In April, the prefect of Chongqing arrived at Qijiang County with a letter of appeasement from Governor Xing Jie, urging Yang Yinglong to go to Anwen for an investigation, and the magistrate of Qijiang County went there to announce the decree.]

[The magistrate of Qijiang rode alone to Songkan on the eighth day of the fifth month.]

[Yang Yinglong was tied up on the roadside, crying and asking for death penalty, crawling forward on his knees, kowtowed and bled, indicating that he was willing to hand over the criminal and fine to the court.]

[Xing Jie received the report and immediately sent officials to deal with the matter.]

[Yang Yinglong crawled on the ground in prison clothes and offered a ransom of 40,000 taels of silver.]

[Therefore, Xing Jie dismissed Yang Yinglong from his post, replaced him with his eldest son Chaodong, and took his second son Kedong to Chongqing as a hostage.]

[However, Yang Yinglong's second son died suddenly in Chongqing soon after, and the two sides became enemies again. The attempt to appease Yang Yinglong was thus declared a failure.]

[In May of the 1599th year of the Wanli reign (), Wanli reinstated the former Chief Censor Li Hualong to control military affairs in the three provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, and Guizhou.]

[At this time, the Korean War had ended, and Wanli dispatched generals such as Liu Jing and Chen Lin to lead their troops to Sichuan day and night.]

[In June, Yang Yinglong took advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet assembled and launched a massive attack on Qijiang, capturing the city and massacring its inhabitants.]

……

Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Period
Yongzheng was thinking about the various tactics used by the Ming Dynasty.

These are all valuable experiences!
Speaking of which, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be very reluctant to learn from the lessons of their predecessors.

This is true for reducing the power of the feudal lords and for converting the aboriginals into officials.

It is understandable that you can't remember the time when the feudal lords were reduced since it was so long ago.

The Yuan Dynasty was not far away from implementing the policy of aboriginal rule.

Hongli looked at the sky with interest.

To be honest, it is necessary to reform the native system.

The previous methods are still good.

But in the end, Qi Jiang was forced to be massacred, and this method was immediately used.

"He has courage but no wisdom. Wanli has learned nothing from Zhang Juzheng."

The most important thing is that it is not you, the emperor, who most hopes that the Yang family will die.

It's the toasts.

……

[In the first month of the 1600th year of the Wanli reign (), the Ming army completed its assembly, and local chieftains also sent troops to assist.]

[Governor Li Hualong divided his troops into eight groups and marched into Bozhou to suppress the rebellion.]

[In February, the armies set out, with about 30,000 men on each route.]

[In March, Yang Yinglong sent his main force to fight Liu Jing, but was defeated by Liu Jing. The Ming army marched straight into Loushan Pass.]

[In May, the Ming army won a series of victories and arrived at Hailongdun, Yang Yinglong's core area, and began to build a wall to besiege it.]

[In June, Hailongdun was breached, and Yang Yinglong hanged himself and burned himself in his room.]

In the 1603st year of Wanli (), the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of changing the natives to officials and changed Bozhou into two prefectures, Zunyi and Pingyue.

[Zunyi Prefecture governs four counties: Zunyi, Tongzi, Suiyang, and Renhuai. ]

[Pingyue Prefecture governs Huangping Prefecture and three counties: Yuqing, Weng'an, and Meitan. ]

【Zunyi Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, and Pingyue Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Guizhou.】

【The three great expeditions of the Wanli Emperor were beneficial to China's maintenance of its hegemony in East Asia, judging from the results of later generations.】

……

On the canopy.

A hint of silver shone through the Wing Shan crown.

The emperor is hidden behind the curtain.

Can't see the face clearly.

Standing on both sides of the dragon throne were two young men with blurry figures.

In front of the curtain, five eunuchs stood on the steps.

In the empty palace, the ministers stood in rows and cursed each other.

And there is an ink character on each column

Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuan, Kun

Outside the main hall.

It is the back view of thirteen sets of cloth armor.
