On the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of Hongye, Wu Bikui, chieftain of Yuanmou of Wuding Prefecture, launched a rebellion and led his army to conquer Dayao, Dingyuan, Yao'an and other places.

Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian in Yunnan, was shocked when he learned the news and immediately mobilized people to participate in the fight against the rebellion.

He mobilized Shiping Tusi Long Zaitian, Yi'e Tusi Wang Yangzu, Mengzi Tusi Shadingzhou, Ningzhou Tusi Lu Yongming, Jingdong Tusi Diao Xun, etc.

These coalitions formed by the chieftains defeated Wu Bikui's army and captured Wu Bikui alive and presented Mu Tianbo.

Mu Tianbo was naturally overjoyed and set up a banquet at the Duke of Qian in Kunming City to reward the meritorious chieftains who participated in the fight against the rebellion.

The situation in Yunnan is very special. Hundreds of chieftains of all sizes are scattered all over Yunnan. Although the imperial court also set up prefectures and prefectures in Yunnan, it is basically decorations, and the real power is firmly controlled by these chieftains.

By comparison, the situation in the other two of the three southwestern provinces is much better.

Guizhou originally had many chieftains, but during the Wanli period, Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou, launched a rebellion, and the court sent a large army to encircle and suppress it. In the end, the court captured Hailongtun and changed its territory to return to the current situation, which greatly increased the court's control over Guizhou.

As for Sichuan, it is similar. Although southern Sichuan is still under the control of chieftains, at least the officials near Chengdu Prefecture and eastern Sichuan are in charge of real power.

Only Yunnan is like a private place for a group of chieftains. The court had no chance to infiltrate.

Therefore, the court could only enthrone the Duke of Qian and rely on the Mu family to guard Yunnan.

However, the Mu family owned troops are limited, and when there is a rebellion, they still have to use the army of other chieftains to suppress the rebellion. This arises a problem. The chieftains who participated in the suppression of the rebellion will definitely annex the property of the rebellion and the army. In this way, the balance will be broken.

At a banquet, Amizhou and Wang Nong Tusi Shadingzhou coveted the wealth of the Mu family, so he made up his mind to launch a rebellion and seize power.

It turned out that Shadingzhou was first the son of Wang Nong Tusi Shayuan. Later, Amizhou Tusi Pu passed away with reputation, and his wife Wan remarried to Shadingzhou. Amizhou was also given to Shadingzhou as Wan's dowry.

The merger of the two chieftains has increased its strength. In addition, Shadingzhou annexed a large amount of wealth when it pacified the Wubikui rebellion, and its strength was at its peak.

People's ambitions and desires will continue to expand.

At first, Sha Dingzhou felt very satisfied, after all, his strength was at the forefront of all Diantuan chieftains.

But after seeing the wealth of the Mu family, his red eyes fell into trouble.

Why can your Mu family stay in Yunnan and enjoy wealth and glory, but Shadingzhou cannot become the lord of Yunnan?

Finally, after careful planning, Shadingzhou raised troops to rebel.

This chaos is awesome.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Mu Tianbo had no time to react.

Wu Bikui launched a rebellion in Wuding Prefecture. It seemed to be very close to Kunming, but in fact it was still one or two hundred miles away. Mu Tianbo had time to dispatch troops and generals to meet the enemy.

But Shadingzhou launched a rebellion in Kunming City, and even if Mu Tianbo wanted to make arrangements, it would be too late.

But Shadingzhou personally led the army to attack Duke Mu's mansion and came to seek his life.

In a hurry, Mu Tianbo had to carry the official seal under the escort of a few personal guards, and fled in a panic, and even his relatives and family members had no time to notify them.

Mu Tianbo ran away very quickly and finally settled down in Chuxiong Mansion.

At this time, Shadingzhou had already controlled the entire Kunming City and claimed to be the General Palace, and regarded itself as the supreme ruler of Yunnan.

When the news reached Nanjing, Zhu Cilang was naturally shocked.

In his impression, the Shadingzhou Rebellion should have happened around December, so why did it be so much in advance?

Moreover, Zhu Cilang has warned Mu Tianbo more than once to be careful. But it seems that Mu Tianbo didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhu Cixuan has done everything he can do. He can't tell Mu Tianbo directly that I am a time traveler and that Shadingzhou will rebel, so you can kill him immediately?

Now, Shadingzhou has taken Kunming and Yunnan has been in chaos.

This made the originally great situation suddenly become confusing.

There is Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan and Shadingzhou in Yunnan, and the entire southwest is really worry-free.

Zhu Cilang immediately summoned the Minister of War Lu Zhenfei to meet with him and discuss countermeasures together.

"This is an urgent report from Duke Qian of Mu Tianbo, Lu Qing's family can also take a look."

Zhu Cixuan handed over a memorial to the eunuch and ordered him to deliver the memorial to Lu Zhenfei.

Lu Zhenfei took the quick sound and opened it. Every time he looked at the word, he felt frightened.

After reading the complete memorial, Lu Zhenfei felt a little dizzy.

"Your Majesty, according to the Duke of Qian, Kunming has now been stolen by the rebel Shadingzhou. The situation is very bad."

Zhu Cilang nodded.

Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province and is also the military and political center in the absolute sense.

Shadingzhou controlled Kunming, and theoretically, it could command the entire Yunnan chieftain.

Fortunately, Mu Tianbo took away the official seal and hereditary iron certificate of the alchemy book when he escaped. If these two things were also in the hands of Shadingzhou, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Now the Duke of Qian is temporarily avoiding Chuxiong Mansion, and Jin Cang soldiers are preparing to do so. Yang Weizhi will not have any problems for the time being. I summoned Lu Qing's family to ask the court how to act."

The Ming Dynasty has always ruled over all parts of Yunnan and rarely directly involved in its internal disputes.

But now the court will not intervene. If we continue to let Shadingzhou make trouble, people in the entire Yunnan and even the southwest will probably change their minds.

Zhu Cilang remembers that the rebellion in Shadingzhou was put down in history after the Daxi Army entered Yunnan in the second year of Yongli. Before that, Shadingzhou had always been a heroic person in Yunnan.

Of course, Zhu Cilang would not tolerate this situation, so the court had to send troops to attack.

It's just a matter of who to send.

Lu Zhenfei thought for a moment and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is a good idea to transfer Sichuan troops into Yunnan to suppress the rebellion."

"Oh? Lu Qing's family might as well make it clearer. Are the Sichuan Army referring to chieftain soldiers or officers and soldiers?"

Zhu Cilang raised his eyebrows and asked.

You should know that Sichuan and Yunnan border, so it is definitely the most appropriate to mobilize troops from Sichuan to pacify the Shadingzhou Rebellion.

But the situation in Sichuan is not very good now. Zhang Xianzhong has always been entrenched in Chengdu Prefecture. If the Sichuan Army takes big moves, it is impossible to guarantee that Zhang Xianzhong will not take the opportunity to attack.

For Zhu Cixuan, the Sichuan Army may not take the initiative to fight Zhang Xianzhong to restore Chengdu, but Chongqing Prefecture must defend it, which is the bottom line. If Chongqing loses Zhang Xianzhong, it can completely control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and attack Huguang at any time.

Chongqing is like a stone wall, stuck between Huguang and Sichuan, making Zhang Xianzhong feel very uncomfortable when he is stuck in his throat.
