After the Ming army captured Jingzhou, the Yangtze River shipping line in and out of Sichuan was no longer threatened by the Qing army, making the water transportation in the south completely unimpeded, and also relieving the hidden danger behind the Ming army's attack on Xiangyang. In addition www.biquge.info captured Jingzhou, because of the opening up of waterway transportation, it also made countless natives from western Hubei and Xiangxi come to defect.

More than 20 years ago, after the Qing army defeated the loyal battalion (the Ming army adapted from Li Guo's camp), many local people have been dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing court, rebellion is commonplace, they use the terrain to deal with the Qing army, so that the Qing army can not exterminate them at all.

The Qing army mainly relied on the local Tusi who surrendered to the Qing army to deal with the local natives who made trouble. However, some small toasts have never served the rule of the Qing court, and they continue to make trouble.

The Tusi in western Hubei and Xiangxi, like the Tusi in Yunnan and Guizhou, the local people rose up, whether it was the Huguang Qing Army or Wu Sangui in Yunnan, they could not completely pacify the Tusi. In the original history, after Li Laiheng's Kuidong Righteous Army was destroyed in 1664, the Qing army was freed up, led by Tuhai and Mulima, and pacified the small Tusi who were making trouble in various places; Wu Sangui also took the opportunity to pacify Yungui Tusi. But now history has changed, the Huguang Qing army suffered heavy losses, Mulima was killed, Tuhai fled to the north, Wu Sangui rebelled, and there was no one to deal with these Tusi at all.

The Qiongzhou army adopted the method of using carrots in one hand and sticks in the other hand against the local natives. After the defeat of the Huguang Qing army, the Qiongzhou Army Branch stationed in Sichuan immediately attacked and began to appease or exterminate the local rebel Tusi.

After the Ming army was dispatched, many small Tusi and local natives who were already dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing court directly submitted to the Ming Dynasty and raised the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty. However, some big toasts, because they accepted the title of the Qing court, were unwilling to surrender, relying on the terrain, they stubbornly resisted to the end.

The Qiongzhou army attacked from two sides and attacked the Yongbao area.

Peng Zhaoxiang, the governor of Yongshun Tuzhou, Peng Yingchu and others of Liangjiangkou Tusi, knew that they could not resist the Ming army, and they led their troops to surrender.

However, the military and civilian propaganda envoys of Huguang Baojingzhou, Peng Ding, Peng Zehong, and the sons of Peng Ding, Peng Zehong, the left governor of the Miao soldiers on the Hubei Road, and Gao Lun, Zhang Weiren, the chief military officers of the Miao soldiers, resolutely refused to surrender, and they tried to use the mountainous terrain to maneuver with the Ming army, becoming a thorn in the western part of the Ming army's Huguang.

Peng Ding's father, Peng Chaozhu, surrendered to the Qing army in the fourth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, when Kong Youde entered Chenzhou. In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, Peng Ding inherited his father's position. Peng Ding has more than 5,000 elite native soldiers under his command, and he can also recruit more native soldiers, and the scale of native soldiers can be expanded to more than 10,000 at any time! The terrain in the Baojing area is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, in some mountain passes, as long as more than a dozen people guard the mountain, with rolling wood and stones, you can block thousands of troops and horses.

In fact, between Peng Zhao and Peng Ding, the two families still have a marriage relationship, and three years ago, Peng Tingyu under Peng Zhaoxiang rebelled and detained Peng Zhaoxiang. Later, it was Peng Ding's son Peng Zehong who led people to rescue Peng Zhaoxiang. However, after the Ming army invaded Yongbao, Peng Zhaoxiang learned that the Ming army was powerful and did not dare to resist, so he led his troops to surrender.

"Peng Ding refuses to surrender?" Wang Xinyu was very angry when he learned the battle report, "He thinks that with thousands of native soldiers and complex terrain, he can stop our army?" ”

"The last general is willing to lead troops to attack Peng Ding, who is not subject to the king!" Wang Jinzhong stood up and asked Ying to fight.

Wang Yuyou said with great regret: "This Yongjing Peng family was also regarded as a hero of the Ming Dynasty back then, and Mrs. Bai was Yongjing Tusi, she led the army to resist the Japanese, quelled the rebellion in Guangxi, and defeated the Annan people who invaded Guangxi, which can be regarded as a great military achievement." However, it is a pity that her descendants were recruited by Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde to contribute to the Qing court. ”

"No matter how much credit their ancestors have made to my Ming Dynasty, now they are desperately following the Qing court, and they are our enemies! They must be exterminated! Wang Xinyu said.

To pacify Tusi in the mountainous terrain, Wang Xinyu still handed over the heavy responsibility to Wang Jinzhong, who was good at mountain warfare, and his mountain soldiers. Mountain soldiers adapted from native soldiers are naturally the best to use against local native soldiers.

In fact, both the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were good at using native soldiers to deal with native rebellions.

Wang Jinzhong and his native soldiers can be said to be loyal to the Qiongzhou army, and the set of great men who will be able to grasp the class struggle as soon as they are caught, can be said to be very effective when used on Miao Yaoyi and other native people, who defeated the Tusi who did not obey Wang Hua and were assigned land and property, naturally did not want them to lose what they had gained, and they would be loyal to follow the Qiongzhou army, even more loyal than the Han people.

"Wang Jinzhong, you lead 15,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters and set off immediately! Go and exterminate the Baojing Toast! As before, I killed this big toast of the first grade, divided the land and property, and got the support of the Miao people! Wang Xinyu gave an order.

"No!" Wang Jinzhong retreated.

The 15,000 mountain soldiers of the Qiongzhou Army, led by Wang Jinzhong, set off towards Baojing.

Baojing, in fact, is the Ba people (Tujia) converted from the proportion of the population is higher, there was no Tujia at that time, only the Tumin said, called Wuling Man, and the Miao people are not the same, if it were not for the later imitation of the Soviet Union, the Tumin should have been incorporated into the Han people, and would not be created a Tujia.

Although the population of the Tumin in Baojing is larger, the local Tumin do not have much power because they do not have Tusi, and the Tumin at that time were unwilling to submit to the Qing court, so the Miao people were used to rule the Tumin in Baojing.

In Badong, Shizhou (now Enshi) and other places where the local people were relatively strong, the Tusi of the local people had been returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the Qiongzhou army had obtained more than 80,000 native soldiers composed of local people, and these native soldiers could be formed into mountain soldiers after training.

There are many local people in Baojing, and there are relatively few Miao people. However, the Miao people occupied the best land, occupied the strong cities, and controlled the dangerous terrain, and the power of the native people was relatively much worse than that of the Miao people. For hundreds of years, the Tumin have not been subject to the rule of the Miao Tusi, and often find trouble for the Miao people.

"We Pakistani people can help! Find a path and take a detour! Yansheng, a native soldier who joined the Ming army not long ago, said.

Wang Jinzhong said: "Yansheng, you should give a Chinese name, otherwise it will be difficult to recognize!" ”

"Please also give the name of the sir!" Iwabu bowed respectfully. This Yansheng, whose original name was Ba, was an authentic Ba surname.

Wang Jinzhong thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Then that's it, you can be called Baning." ”

"Thank you, sir, for your name!" Iwayu, who had changed his name to Banin, was overjoyed and saluted.

The Ming army advanced along the mountain road in the direction of Baojing, and before entering Baojing, a group of native soldiers volunteered to find local native help.
