Lu Qin, the governor of the Southwest, led his troops to Guiyang City and met with Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou. The two summoned the generals to raise their accounts to discuss, and decided to cross the Luguang River to pursue An's rebels.

At the same time, Zhu Xieyuan and Hou Liangzhu were also discussing.

Chengdu, the general town government.

The day before yesterday, Zhu Xieyuan got a new Tang newspaper.

It is said that a large number of chieftains called by Sheshehui have gathered in the Liufan recruiting department and the Lizhou appeasement department, and among them, the main ones are evil fee and grasshopper.

Nai Fei and Ah Cao Yong are called elders, and their combined army is called [-], and they invaded Chengdu.

Recently, Zhu Xieyuan is planning to wipe out all the chieftains in Xichuan who are not loyal to the imperial court. Niefei and Ajiaoyong are the most disobedient chieftains among them.

This pond report seems urgent, but it coincides with the strategy in his chest.

Looking at the soldiers of the Sixth Recruitment Division who presented the Shangtang newspaper, Zhu Xieyuan sat quietly, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, he said:

"Order the Sixth Division of Recruitment, if the rebels come to attack, abandon the city and leave, throwing away some of the weapons and battles, the worse the defeat, the better!"

The soldier didn't ask why, he agreed and turned to leave.

"I want to lure the main force of the rebel army to a decisive battle here." Zhu Xieyuan stood up, came to the map, and said:

"That's it."

Hou Liangzhu followed and stood in front of the picture with his chest crossed, staring at himself and saying: "Yazhou..."

"The Sixth Recruitment Department is defeated to lure the enemy, and the evil fee will come in from Linguan. I will send an order later to order the Linguan guard, Wang Guozhen, to continue to feign defeat and lure the evil fee to Heshui."

"..."

The two discussed for a while, and Hou Liangzhu also put forward his own views. In the end, the commander-in-chief and the governor agreed and lured the main force of the rebel army to the Yazhou area for a decisive battle.

The battle strategy has been decided, and the Ming army in Chengdu moved immediately upon hearing the wind, and the drums of war were everywhere.

Originally under She Chongming's command, Zhang Ling, who was on the verge of battle, was entrusted with the post of Pujiang garrison, and led his troops to lead the troops into the territory of Yazhou.

In September of the first year of Tianqi, the Battle of Shuixi in Mingping broke out.

Zhu Xieyuan, governor of Sichuan, and Hou Liangzhu, the general of Sichuan, sent troops from Chengdu to help Liufan Recruitment Division and Lizhou Xuanfu Division with great fanfare.

Liu Kexun, the garrison officer of the Sixth Recruitment Department, received Zhu Xieyuan's order to retreat. After a short contact, he was defeated across the board and retreated into Linguan.

The rebel army gained momentum, and led more than [-] main force of the headquarters, and chased them to Linguan in the starry night.

After several days of attack, Wang Guozhen and Liu Kexun abandoned the pass and fled again. They retreated to the territory of Yazhou, and the rebels occupied the entire territory of Liufan Zhaosi.

Seeing the flag battles and armor discarded by the officers and soldiers along the way, he was very excited. He repaired for three days before the pass, and before the news of Ah Caoqie came, he ordered the pursuit, intending to grab the spoils.

After Zhu Youxiao led his own army to leave, there was not much difference in strength between the Xichuan Ming army and the chieftain rebels, and many chieftains waited and watched for success or failure.

Zhu Xieyuan was determined to defeat the enemy in one battle, and formulated a combat policy to lure the rebels to encircle Yazhou. He secretly ordered Wang Guozhen of the Sixth Recruitment Division and Liu Kexun, the deputy military preparation officer, to lure the enemy with consecutive defeats.

At the same time, Chief Soldier Hou Liangzhu and Deputy General Liu Yangkun dispatched troops from Jiamen Pass and Mingshan respectively, and weaved a large net with the flags and drums silenced.

On the other way, the grasshopper was unwilling to enter Yazhou at all, and wanted to break through Chengdu first, and then return to the division to meet Hou Liangzhu and other officers and soldiers.

Traveling to the area of ​​Mount Emei, they were ambushed by Zhang Ling's troops. The two sides fought fiercely for a while.

Grasshopper thought about it for a moment, then gave up the previous plan to take a detour to attack Chengdu, and decided to join forces with the chieftains such as Nie Fei in Yazhou to defeat these routes of officials.

Zhang Ling fled to the lower reaches of Duke Zhou's water. Seeing that the rebels were chasing after him, he felt relieved.

For the sake of the truth of the defeat, Zhang Ling abandoned part of the banner, turned around to meet Ah Caoqie, was hit by three arrows, was defeated all the way, and then retreated into the city of Yazhou.

A grasshopper was convinced that the army was defeated across the board, and pursued it to the bottom of the city, occupied the mouth of Zhou Gongshui River, and aggressively attacked the city by land and water.

At this time, Liu Yangkun, the deputy general of Sichuan, attacked Zhou Gongshuihekou from a famous mountain, burned all the rebel ships, defeated the Tusi coalition army, and beheaded more than [-] enemies.

Hearing the news, the grasshopper fled in a hurry, rushed to the top of the mountain, held on to the danger, and stopped with silence.

Hou Liangzhu also made a sudden attack at Jiamenguan, and joined Wang Guozhen and Liu Kexun, the deputy military commander, to defeat the main force of the evil army in the Lushan area, cutting [-] ranks.

Ah Caoyong and other chieftains defended by the mountain, while Liu Yangkun and Zhang Ling led their troops into the siege. Because of the steep mountain and the abundant arrows of the rebel army, the officers and troops were unable to attack for a long time, and the casualties were not small, so they decided to die.

Within a few days, heavy fog rose in Yazhou, as if God had helped.

The two immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters, and took advantage of the fog to lead their troops into the cottage. The rebels fought in a hurry. Due to the fog, the official army successfully entered the cottage.

It is worth mentioning that Ah Caoqie fled down the mountain as soon as the official army broke through the stronghold, but was shot by Zhang Lingyu's crossbow in the rebellious army immediately, and died through the throat.

On the North Road, he was defeated and fled back to Linguan, intending to guard the pass.

Hou Liangzhu led his troops to come, set up iron cannons, and forcibly tackled the key points. The officers and soldiers had just won the decisive battle in Yazhou, and their morale was greatly boosted, and everyone was brave.

The evil fee was defeated by the bravery of the officers and soldiers, so he abandoned the pass and fled in a hurry.

Afterwards, Wang Guozhen was ashamed, and led his troops to gallop for more than [-] miles, chasing and defeating Fei Fei at Zishiguan, and Hou Liangzhu, Zhang Ling and other troops also surrounded him.

Zhu Xieyuan, Hou Liangzhu and others lured the enemy into deep, divided into Yazhou territory, encircled them, and defeated the main force of the rebel army in World War I.

In this battle, 43 chieftains died, and tens of thousands of troops fell apart.

The leader of the rebel army, Lao Fei, was injured. Among the rebel army, he was killed by the guerrilla general Wang Guozhen of the Sixth Division.

A few days later, more than [-] chieftains petitioned to surrender, and Sichuan was declared pacified.

……

"This stinky bitch, if I knew she would be like this, I should have killed her in the first place!"

When he heard that She Shehui wanted to fight against the imperial court regardless of his own life, An Bangyan felt 1 regrets in his heart.

He naturally knew that what She Shehui said were all excuses, what she really thought was very simple, that was purely to avenge She Chongming.

Since Wang Sanshan's sudden attack, An Bangyan and An Xiaoliang were locked up by Zhu Youxiao, and they were strictly guarded wherever they went.

"It's time to eat!"

At this time, there was a cynical voice from outside the door, but it was a soldier of the Ming army stuffing two plates of food from under the door.

"Where are you feeding the pigs?"

An Xiaoliang muttered, but his stomach honestly picked up his own plate and started to gobble it up.

Seeing them like this, the Ming army outside the door also sneered, turned and left.

Not to mention the tragic situation of An Xiaoliang and An Bangyan being pitted by Sheshehui now, when the Sichuan Ming army won consecutive battles, Zhu Youxiao and Lu Qin's army also defeated Sheshe with invincible momentum. The main force of the An army organized by Shehui.

Compared with the tension in Yazhou, the battle here seems too relaxed.

After the conquest army joined forces with Luqin's provincial reinforcements, it greatly surpassed the rebel army in terms of numbers and equipment.

She Shehui's rebellion is destined to be a death struggle.

Chapter 132 Victory Monument

The city of Guiyang was filled with Tenglong banners, mixed with the military flags and the high flags of various aid and suppression generals. Looking at the past, the sky was covered with banners everywhere, and the army was approaching.

On this day, the sky was bright and clear, and the sun shone on the southwestern land. After all, the light overwhelmed the darkness.

The Southwest, which has been in chaos for almost a year, finally ushered in the dawn of stability.

The city of Guiyang is not big, and compared to the inland and Jiangnan towns, it is extremely backward. However, if you only talk about Guizhou, it is the most prosperous place, and it is a place that must be contested by rebels and officials.

Many years later, the soldiers and civilians in Guiyang will still recall in gossip that in the first year of Tianqi, the emperor led the army to conquer and presided over the overall situation in Guiyang City.

"Your Majesty has an order—" On the high platform, Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, stepped forward and read out loudly.

When the words reached the ground, all the officials, soldiers and common people in the lower ranks of the towns knelt down, waiting for the emperor's order.

Wang Chaofu, who is used to seeing big scenes, saw such scenes for the first time. He was shocked, cleared his throat, and said in the highest possible voice:

"Since Yuji, I have been trembling day and night, adhering to the laws of my ancestors, obeying the emperor's imperial edict, and pursuing political principles. I will bear with the chieftains' reckless behavior."

"Nowadays, the chieftains have repeatedly violated the laws of the country and violated the provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou. They have suffered a lot."

"Extravagant and anti-Ming, Chongqing is lonely and dangerous, and it is deeply worrying, so I decided to conquer it myself, in order to quickly resolve the war and protect people's livelihood."

"Chongqing, Nanchuan, Xichuan, and Guiyang fought several battles. The soldiers worked hard, the generals fought bravely, and won a complete victory!"

"This time, the peace of the southwest depends on the cooperation of internal and external ministers and workers, and their duties. The talents of our county and country's Yulin will follow my east and west, and the contribution will not be lost."

"Hui Kan has made it clear that Lu Qin, Zhu Xieyuan, Hou Liangzhu, Wang Sanshan, Qin Liangyu, Zhang Ling, etc., have the same heart in civil and military affairs, and they are all talents of pillars."

"There are a lot of things going on in China and abroad today. The imperial court is in a hurry to hire people. After the event, the meritorious service will be verified. The civil servants and generals who have made meritorious service will be rewarded and promoted! They will be appointed according to their ability!"

"This is to announce to the world, to show the four barbarians, to understand that you have the heart of what you have to do, and to know that you dare not forgive me. Don't go beyond your ambitions and show punishment, and everyone will abide by justice and enjoy peace."

After saying that, everyone shouted one after another.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

"Da Ming wins!!"

A smile gradually appeared on Zhu Youxiao's face, with the emperor's sword slung around his waist, standing on the high platform, he said majesticly:

"My great Ming, benevolence and kindness are mighty, and those who are obedient will be helped in every difficulty; those who are righteous and brave, those who jump the beam, even if they are strong, they will be killed."

"Engrave these words of mine on the stone tablet, as a warning to Xiao Xiao, and to deter the four barbarians!"

"Observe the order!" Everyone shouted in unison.

After a while, a group of prisoners were brought to the high platform. The guards of the Ming army were all around, full of contempt and vigilance towards these chieftains.

Lu Qin, governor of the Southwest, put Shangfang's sword in both hands, took a step forward, bowed his head and said: "I am trusted by His Majesty, and I am the governor of the military affairs of the Southwest provinces. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order, surveyed the Southwest, and won a big victory!"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it, took back the sword, and said nothing.

At this time, Lu Qin stood up, faced the soldiers and civilians, and said loudly:

"An Bangyan, cut!"

"An Xiaoliang, and 32 chieftains including Zhang Shichen, An Bangjun, An Ruoshan, Chen Qiyu, Chen Wandian, etc., were all beheaded in Guiyang, and passed on to Shouchuan and Gui, as a warning to others!"

When the words fell, An Bangyan was pushed forward.

To this day, An Bangyan also knows that he has planned many ways before, but it is just a bamboo basket to fetch water and nothing.

He spit out the anesthetic that the Ming army forcefully stuffed into his mouth this morning, and he was very calm, but An Xiaoliang, after the sackcloth was taken out of his mouth, burst out a few words in local language.

"what did he say?"

Zhu Youxiao asked coldly, Wang Chaofu rarely saw such Long Xing, and was also amazed at the emperor's emphasis on the Southwest.

Everyone waited silently for a moment, Zhu Youxiao walked up to An Xiaoliang, looked down at him, and smiled coldly.

"Twist his tongue out for me, noisy!"

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao walked back a few steps and ordered:

"cut!"

With one order, all the big Han generals passed the second pass to four, and the fourth to eight, and then sixteen and 32 people shouted one after another, and the waves of voices became higher and higher.

"cut!"

"cut--"

The sound shook the whole city of Guiyang, followed by the shouts of countless generals and schools, the sound of war drums, ceremonies and music, as well as the shouts and curses of the common people, resounding throughout the world of Guiyang.

An Bangyan's head was beheaded with a knife, and he may still regret it until his death, why did he marry such a stupid woman.

An Xiaoliang was originally a one-shot thing, but because he said one more sentence that the Ming army didn't understand, he was tortured alive, and his tongue was wrung out first.

As for the rest of the chieftains, some were as calm as water like An Bangyan, and some were struggling frantically and begging for their lives.

No matter what, the hustle and bustle gradually dissipated, the bloodshed gradually subsided, and even the soldiers and civilians went home and returned to their camps.

As the sun sets, the impassioned enthusiasm during the day disappears, but the stone monument erected in Guiyang City still stands.

There is a line of small characters engraved on the top of the stele.

"In September of the first year of Tianqi, the emperor personally conquered and beheaded An Bangyan and 33 chieftains in the Southwest."

……

After the suppression of She Chongming and She Shehui, the situation in Sichuan and Guizhou was also reshuffled.

The death of Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, was found out later, and Ma Hong was acquitted.

Xu Keqiu's death was also implicated in party struggles.

Because he was a member of the Donglin Party, this death caused an uproar in the court. During Zhu Youxiao's personal expedition, countless memorials were sent to the camp, saying that Ma Hong would be severely punished.
