Chapter 776： ? V West Civil Rebellion

The Daoteng Gorge, also known as Dateng Gorge, is the gathering place of Yao people in Guangxi. It is located in the lower reaches of the Qianjiang River near Guiping and is the largest and longest canyon in Guangxi. Legend has it that in ancient times there were big vines like buckets, crossing the surface of the river, floating in the day and night, and workers climbing to cross the river, hence the name.

However, in the first year of the Ming Dynasty's Chenghua, Hou Dagoo, the leader of the Yao people in Datengxia, led the uprising against the Ming rule. The Ming court sent right-handed capitals, the royal history of Han Yong and the governor Zhao Fu to lead 160,000 troops to suppress them, and then killed nearly 7,000 Yao people including Hou Dagou. However, Han Yong felt uneasy and ordered someone to cut off the big vine across the Qianjiang River, and renamed this place as the broken vine gorge. Of course, later generations changed the name of Dateng Gorge again, and gave Hou Dagoo a statue.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Yao people in the Datou Gorge area have not served the rule of the Ming Dynasty very much. There are constant uprisings here and there, only large-scale uprisings, there were 11 times in the Ming Dynasty. From the 19th year of Hongwu to the 6th year of Tianqi at the end of Ming Dynasty.

The most legendary is that the emperor of Hongzhi Zhu Youxi, who had just died, his biological mother, Empress Mu Ji, was a Yao daughter, and was also one of the women captured in the battle of calming the Datengxia in the first year of Chenghua. After being captured, Empress Xiao Muji and a group of Yao girls were sent to the palace as spoils and acted as court ladies. Then, by chance, Emperor Chenghua gave birth to Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youqin.

However, Empress Xiao Muji had a bad life. Although her son Zhu Youqin was survived by the **** Zhang Min, she was killed by Wan Huafei, the emperor's favorite concubine. She did not see the day when her son became Emperor Zhongming.

In other words, the emperor Zhu Youqin of the Ming Dynasty had a half of the Yao people's blood. His son Zhengde also has a quarter of Yao ethnic origin. However, after Zhengde's failure, the Yao blood of the Daming royal family was interrupted.

Although the emperor had Yao nationality, the imperial uprising against the Yao people was not soft. This time Chen Jin was sent as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi specifically to suppress the uprisings of the Tongs (later called Zhuang) and the Yaos in Maping and Luorong counties.

The uprisings of the Tong and Yao ethnic groups are more difficult this time. Why? Because the main force of the uprising is the Tong clan. If it is the Yao nationality, the Ming court can also mobilize very capable wolf soldiers to suppress it. However, the Wolf Soldier is an army of young people from the Tong nationality chieftain. If they suppress the uprisings of other ethnic groups, such as the Yao people, they may work harder. However, the main force of this uprising is the same clan, and those wolf soldiers are not willing to contribute. Even if a toast is willing to send troops, he will not give up. After all, it's all an ethnic group.

Therefore, although Chen Jin had sent 130,000 soldiers with the military commanders of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Fu Qiang Mao Rui, he had no confidence. This is because most of the 130,000 troops are guard soldiers whose fighting power has dropped too much. As for the most capable wolf soldiers of the Zhuang nationality, because they couldn't bear to start with the same clan, it caused some lack of confidence.

Of course, this rebel army, which is a mixture of Tong and Yao ethnic groups, is not too strong, and the number is only 10,000 or 20,000. But the guards were weaker, so Chen Jin had to mobilize 130,000 troops to fight. After all, with the same number of soldiers in the guards, where can you beat the brave soldiers? Only when the number of people far exceeds, can we have enough confidence.

The Yao people in the Daten Gorge area, as well as the young people in other areas, had the courage to launch the uprisings again and again precisely because they saw the weakness of the army of the Ming Dynasty. However, they did not know that although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were unable to fight, they were able to win because of the large number of people, and they could be killed by piles of people ...

The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Chen Jin and the military commanders of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Fu Qiang Bo Maorui, apparently intended to rely on the number of people to kill the barbarians of the uprising children and Yao.

However, to be honest, as a civilian who understands the military, Chen Jin also knows in his heart what virtue the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were. Although it's not as bad as the Southeast Guard, it's not much better. If it weren't for the fighting of the Pingding Shaomin Uprising in Guangxi, the guards of Guangdong and Guangxi are estimated to have degenerated into scum like the guards of Fushu in the southeast.

It is precisely because he knows that the guards ca n’t be used well, so Chen Jin is so eye-catching towards the guns and guns offered by the Beihai Kingdom ...

Fortunately, Kong Tai was sensible, knowing that Governor Chen was glaring at those guns, he sent him another 10 Fran cannons and 100 matchlock guns.

And Chen Jin is also a man who does not drag on the mud and water. After providing Kong Tai with the convenience of purchasing, he directly sent people to send the guns to the front line of Guangxi. Moreover, these guns were incorporated into the Governor's personal barracks directly under the Governor.

In this large army of 130,000 people, most people actually make soy sauce. The only ones who really have combat effectiveness are the military commanders of the Guangdong and Guangxi military commanders, Fu Qiang and Mao Rui's personal barracks, and the Governor's personal military barracks selected by Mao Rui for Chen Jin. Moreover, the strongest is Mao Rui's personal barracks, followed by Chen Jin's Governor's personal barracks.

Here I have to mention the military system of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty mainly implemented the health system. Generally, the general commander controls all the military units in one province or two provinces, and the general commander as a military officer is subject to the restraint of the civil governor.

When not fighting at ordinary times, the general soldiers generally do not care much about the guards and horses, and at most have passed a hand over the military pay sent from above, or a military barracks where the chief officer is stationed.

And in the Ming Military Guard House, there is a very common phenomenon, that is to eat empty-handed ...

According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, there were generally 5,600 soldiers under the command of a health center. But in the middle and late period, a health center generally has only half of its staff, or even less. During the period of Jiajing, the reason why the Japanese pirates were able to run across the southeast was closely related to the serious shortage of soldiers in the Southeast Guard. Moreover, it has been a long time since Chengping in the southeast, and the guards there did not train very much. They were busy helping the commander of the guards and waited for the big guys to go to farm and became farmers ...

Guangxi is not as serious as that on the southeast side. After all, Yaomin uprising, Miaomin uprising and Tongmin uprising often occur here. Although the scale of some uprisings is not very large, but here is still not calm. Therefore, the rates of the Guangxi and Guangxi are better than those in the southeast. Normally a guard, the number of actual soldiers is more than half.

However, during the war, the number of soldiers and horses in the guards was insufficient. Those guards and envoys who usually took advantage of it would grab tenants to fill the facade. Therefore, the 130,000 troops led by Chen Jin and Mao Rui looked very impressive, and half of them were considered good.

Moreover, even if there are half of the soldiers, there are many old and weak. In the end, there are actually up to 30,000 or 40,000 combatants. Therefore, to suppress the Shaomin uprising, we rely heavily on the help of wolf soldiers.

But the wolf soldiers are mainly from the Tong clan, but the main force of this uprising is the Tong clan ~ www.novelhall.com ~ So, this time Chen Jin can get limited help from the wolf pawn. Many toasts, although sending troops to help out, most of them also walked by. Only a small part of the poor chieftains and the rewards for the imperial court are more effective.

Therefore, this Ming Army battle mainly depends on itself.

The two battalions with the strongest combat effectiveness in the army, the Chief Military Camp and the Governor General Military Camp, were actually selected by Mao Rui, the military commander of Guangdong and Guangxi.

As a general officer, Mao Rui naturally knew of the greasyness in his guards. Therefore, when the army gathered in Wuzhou, Mao Rui specially selected 3,000 elites from the 130,000 army, divided into two battalions, one as his own battalion, and the other was mainly responsible for defending the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Chen Jin. After all, in this battle, if Chen Jin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was involved in the accident, even if he won, Mao Rui would not be able to walk around. What's more, the highest commander of the 130,000 army is actually Chen Jin, not the military officer Mao Rui. Therefore, it is obviously necessary to mobilize the most elite soldiers to the Governor ’s personal barracks.

Of course, Mao Rui must have placed the strongest battalion horse beside him. His personal barracks have the strongest fighting power. Although Chen Jin ’s personal barracks were not bad, they were not as powerful as those of the general ’s personal barracks. The biggest task of the Governor ’s personal barracks is actually to protect the safety of the Governor ’s adults. As for Mao Rui's commander-in-law camp, there is a high possibility of going into charge ...
