At this time, the Tusi Tou people and their native soldiers in the area of Wudanghong Border Village have been slaughtered.

When the people are empty, the land cannot be idle, and it will be distributed to these prisoners who have come here to manage and cultivate, at least they will not have to feed them in vain, and they will also be able to provide food for the future garrison.

Zhu Xieyuan set up Wudang County in Hongbian Village and included it in the jurisdiction of Guiyang Prefecture, and together with the newly opened Kaizhou, he sent a letter to ask for the dispatch of officials.

Regarding Zhu Xieyuan's letter, Emperor Chongzhen of course approved it.

As for the question of asking for the dispatch of officials, he also replied to Zhu Xieyuan and asked him to appoint the best among the officials in Guizhou.

Since Zhu Xieyuan was given full power to quell the rebellion in Guizhou, there is no need to ask about everything.

In this way, in March, Wu Zhiwang, the squire of the Nanjing Military Department, escorted a new batch of military salaries, grain, grass, and heavy ammunition allocated by the imperial court to the Guiyang front, and came to Guiyang.

And Zhu Xieyuan, who had already dealt with the Shuidong Song clan, also began to focus on the Shuidong Xi'an clan.

In January of the second year of Chongzhen, when Zhu Xieyuan ordered Xu Chengming to lead the army to destroy the Tusi territory of the Song clan in Shuidong, Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer of Sichuan who led the troops to Luzhou, eastern Sichuan, and Lin Zhaoding, the chief military officer of Yunnan who led the troops to sit in Qujing, Yunnan, were also not idle.

In that year, the Ming official army defeated Luxury Chongming in the direction of Sichuan and occupied the Yongning Xuanwei Division, including Luxury Chongming's younger brother Luxury Chonghui, his wife An and others, all of whom were captured by the Ming Dynasty.

The defeated Hao Chongming took his son Hao Yin, led the remnants of the Yongning Xuanwei Division to the east, and fled east to the territory of the Shuixi clan deep in the mountains.

Immediately afterwards, An Bangyan was also defeated in the direction of Guiyang and retreated to Shuixi to hold on.

The Yi rebels after the merger of the Ming official army and the two Tusi of Hao An formed a balance of power between each other, and the official army could not enter it, and the subordinates of Gao Chongming and An Bangyan suffered heavy casualties and did not dare to expand outward.

Later, Zhang Heming replaced Zhu Xieyuan as the governor of Guizhou, and then wrote to the imperial court to ask for appeasement, and the then Emperor of the Apocalypse agreed.

Then Yu Chongming's younger brother Yu Chonghui and his wife An Shi (who is An Bangyan's sister), as well as An Bangyan's younger brother An Alun, were also put back.

But in exchange, it was only extravagant Chongming to remove the title of "King of Liang", and An Bangyan to remove the title of "King of Luodian", and then accept the appeasement.

After these two people accepted the appeasement of the imperial court, they actually hoped that the imperial court could withdraw from the Yongning Xuanfu Division of the luxurious family, as well as the outer stronghold of the An clan that was captured by the imperial court, Wusa, and other places.

But how could the things that the Ming officials and troops had obtained through bloody battles be handed over to others because of the peace talks between the two sides now, so the court did not consider it at all.

However, these places, namely Yongning, Linzhou, Wusa, Zhanyi and other places, belong to the traditional territories of the two great Tusi of Yongning and Shuixian, so they do not intend to give up.

In this way, accepting the appeasement of the imperial court has become a shield for extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan to hibernate and accumulate strength.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse died and the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne spread to Guizhou and Shuixi, Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan felt that the time was ripe, thinking that after the new emperor ascended to the pole, the court would have to be in chaos for a while, so they rebelled again.

Of course, these two people are right, the Emperor of the Apocalypse died, Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and Wei Zhongxian and his eunuchs are still there, and the court really does not have the energy to take care of the two of them who are far away in the southwest.

Including Zhang Heming, the governor of Guizhou, who was close at hand, also put his main experience on exchanging letters with the ministers of the DPRK and China, inquiring about the movements of the DPRK and China, and waiting for the new emperor's new instructions for him.

Therefore, when the two of them gathered 100,000 troops and rebelled again, the governors of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan were defenseless.

The result can be imagined, Yongning, Linzhou, Wusa, which are subordinate to Sichuan, as well as Zhanyi and Pingyi, which are subordinate to Yunnan, were soon robbed back by the Yi native soldiers led by Luxury Chongming, Luxury Chonghui, An Bangyan and An Alun.

Extravagant Chongming re-played the banner of "King of Great Liang", and although An Bangyan did not dare to play the banner of "King of Luodian" this time, he gave himself another name that sounded very loud, called "Great Elder of Four Descendants".

After the two of them raised the rebellion again, the strength they had accumulated for two years was suddenly released, and they had no stamina.

After going north to capture the old territory of the luxury family of the Yongning Xuanwei Division, he continued to fight north once and Luzhou could not be defeated, so he withdrew his troops.

He didn't dare to fight Guiyang to the east, but went north to fight Zunyi, and after finding that he couldn't fight, he gave up.

Only the way to the west was like a bamboo, and it was captured, Wusa, Zhanyi, and leveled successively.

But after capturing these cities and then dividing their forces to defend them, they soon lost the strength to continue their attack to the west.

Luxury Chongming's precious son Hao Yin, shortly after fleeing into Shuixi, was killed by his own subordinates in a mutiny because he was too brutal to the Yi tribes under his command.

At the same time, the war with the official army has been going on intermittently for eight or nine years.

During this period, Fan Long, the son-in-law of Hao Chongming, the generals Fan Hu, Zhang Tong, Zhang Shichen, and the mastermind Chen Qiyu and others were killed one after another.

The elite soldiers of the Yongning Xuanwei Si Yi tribe, who originally followed Yu Chongming to fight around, also died batch after batch.

Now, without the assistance of these old and capable veterans, without the elite Yi soldiers under his command, and the native soldiers of all ethnic groups under the command of Yu Chongming, although there are as many as when he first started, they are about 20,000 people, but the combat power of this team is not comparable to the one in the past.

Ahn Bangyan's situation is similar.

Because of the continuous battles, the young and strong Yi soldiers in the 48 caves under the command of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division have also been pumped again and again, and the elite warriors who dare to fight have long been killed.

Now the native soldiers drawn from each cave are either old and weak or young.

Although the total number of people is still as high as 80,000, the current army composed of these old and weak young people, and even the disabled native soldiers, is no longer the elite team that was strong and strong when the army rebelled seven years ago.

The news that Zhu Xieyuan had returned to Guiyang, mobilized a large army, and commanded the suppression of the rebellion had been sent to Shuixi by messengers from the Song clan in Shuidong a few months earlier.

Whether it is for Luxury Chongming or An Bangyan, Zhu Xieyuan has been their nightmare.

Now that Governor Zhu Xieyuan has come to quell the rebellion, it is definitely not good for the two of them.

Therefore, soon after Zhu Xieyuan arrived in Guiyang, the two of them quickly arranged for Hao Chongming's younger brother Hao Chonghui to guard Yongning and Lin Zhou, An Bangyan's younger brother An Alun, and An Chongsheng, the leader of another Tusi branch of the Shuixian clan, to guard Wusa and Zhanyi.

Then, the two rushed back to the Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion in the mountain city of Muoge in Shuixi, and led the Yi people in the 48th cave of Shuixi to renovate the city, store grain, and prepare to meet the imperial army from the direction of Guiyang east of the Yachi River.

Since the beginning of the first month, Zhu Xieyuan's sudden action against the Shuidong Song clan, especially the subsequent change of land and return to the river in the hereditary territory of the Shuidong Song clan, that is, the Twelve Matou area of Guibei, made the Shuixi An's Tusi family, which was already frustrated, so the will to resist had been softened and shaken a little, and the leaders of the 48 caves of Tusi under his command re-strengthened.

They could submit to the imperial court, but they could not lose the position of Tusi, and they could not lose the land and power that the family had for thousands of years.

As the number of native soldiers of the Song clan in Shuidong who escaped from Shuidong across the Yachi River and then fled into the territory of the Shuidong clan gradually increased, the news brought over became more and more sensational, for example, all the men of the Tusi family of the Song clan in Shuidong were killed, regardless of age, and the heads of the twelve horseheads were also killed.

And their wives and daughters and their families were also raped, killed and plundered by the Zhuang wolf soldiers from Guangxi, and even humiliated and abused by those serfs who had been trampled under the feet of the Tusi leaders for thousands of years, and so on.

The fate of the Shuidong Song clan made the Shuixi An, who was also hereditary Guizhou Xuanwei Division, in an uproar.

However, when several big people of the Shuixi clan had not yet recovered from the shock of the fall of the Song clan in Shuidong, in late March, two groups of messengers from Yongning, Sichuan, north of Shuixi, and Wusa, Sichuan, west of Shuixi, brought back news, which made the big men of Shuixi'an completely unable to sit still.
