On May 2nd, the third year of the Apocalypse (A.D. 1623), the governor of Sichuan, Zhu Zou, said: The local officials of Huguang Rongmeixuan were all technical support, and asked the minister to send him to help (according to the Sichuan-Guizhou Rebellion). He still worked between Jing and Lu, including reimbursement. Don't you know that the Shu side uses soldiers, and don't you know that soldiers are difficult to use? Qin Liangyu Zhongyi, near Zhongzhou. The adjustment will begin in half a year. The situation is far between Dongting and Hunan, and the wind and horses have nothing to do with it! "
Tian Chuchan, the Rongmei chieftain under Huguang, took the initiative to ask the governor of Sichuan to lead troops into Sichuan and Guizhou to "quell the chaos". It is conceivable to what extent the local soldiers in Rongmei were "strongly trained". To chongzhen, adjustable American soldiers have more than seven thousand people, Tian Xuan hydrophobic words to prove it:
Rong Meixuan told me that in June (the twelfth year of Chongzhen), the Valley Thief (referring to Li Zicheng and Zhang's peasant army) rebelled again. He appealed to the two ministers and called for soldiers. I immediately donated food and horses, and sent 7 thousand soldiers to let Chen Yisheng, the deputy governor, and others go forward. Fearing to recruit soldiers, Deng Weichang, a brave warrior, married Tan in seventy-two villages, paid bribes to Badong county magistrate, forced the people to join the army, hindered loyalty and started a border dispute.
The emperor ordered the matter to be dealt with. At that time, bandits were rampant in the central plains, and current events were not in the sky. Even the toast could not recruit or ask! (See Ming History, Volume 300, Huguang Tusi)
The main purpose of Rongmei Tusi Army in Qiang Bing is self-reliance and outward expansion. Yongzheng "Huguang Tongzhi? There are four articles under Yang County, the governor of Zhili, namely Changmao Pass, Centennial Pass, Yuyang Pass and Bodhi Pass. The original note read:
Attached to Changyang county annals? Pass: There are three patrolmen, and Gong Bing is sent to guard the pass. Native people are not allowed to leave the country, and Han people are not allowed to enter the cave. In the first year of the Apocalypse (A.D. 162 1), the chieftain (Rongmei) invaded the border, so it was difficult to patrol Bodhi Pass and retreated to Yuyang Pass. By seven years, the inspection of fishing and foreign customs had been cut, and barbarians were infested and plundered, which became more and more uncontrollable.
Records-territory of Changle county in Qing dynasty;
Changle, Hefeng and other places, the previous generation were toast, but now, they are clearly aware of the establishment of the official official-official version of the sacred dynasty. Peter Changle is in the bay pond. The old land is toast, but the old land is Changyang and other counties, but the toast often occupies it. Therefore, Changmao Temple and Bailuzhuang belong to Rongmeitian; County and other places belong to the Zhang Wufeng family; Baiyi Maizhuang, etc. It belongs to water turbid soup; Liang Shi branch, etc. It belongs to Liang Shi Dunn. Belonging to the official land is the wrong place, except for a hundred years, or Changyang and other places. It used to be Changyang and other places, and many people were eaten by toast.
In the early Ming Dynasty, he was a teacher of Rongmei and Wufeng, and committed crimes with Changyang and Shimen counties. Changmaoguan recorded in Changyang Annals is the Changmaosi in today's county. Bodhi Pass, the Bodhi Village in today's county (also known as Pudi boundary), is Changyang land, so the toast should be at the junction with the second place. In the first year of the apocalypse, the toast was in chaos and patrolled Yuyang Pass. Seven years, patrolling the waste, Changmaoguan and Bodhi Village, all beautiful. As for the centennial pass, it belongs to Changyang (see pages 362 and 363 of Rongmei Tusi Data Collection).
Bodhi Pass is near Xiejiaping at the western end of Changle Ping in Wufeng County, and Changmao Temple is in the flower picking area of Wufeng County. In the first year of the apocalypse, Tian Chuchan dedicated a Buddha statue to Shizhouwei, and at the same time sent troops to occupy Bodhi Village and Changmao Temple, taking the land and population under the jurisdiction of Changyang County as his own. These two plots of land cover an area of about 1000 square kilometers. What's more, Tian Xuan seized the opportunity of chaos in the late Ming Dynasty and used the opportunity of sending troops to serve the king to turn most areas of Changyang County, including the county magistrate Longzhouping, into his own control area. 1992 Changyang county annals? Ethnic population: "In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1644), Tang Zhenbang (grandson of Tian Xuan, director of Rongmei Division), took advantage of the chaos to send troops to capture Longzhouping County. Since then, Tang actually controlled Changyang for more than 20 years. ...... As a result, the five county magistrates in Sri Lanka were unable to perform their duties in person, and they could only be stationed in Jingzhou or Yiling State to' lead the county affairs'. " During this period, the subordinates of Rongmei Tusi were "developed". At this time, the control area of Rongmei Tusi is most of Hefeng County, Wufeng County and Changyang County in Hubei Province, most of the areas south of Qingjiang River in Enshi County and Jianshi County, most of the areas south of Yesanguan in Badong County, and Ziliangping area in Beixiang, Shimen County, Hunan Province, with a total area of about 7,000 square kilometers, which is three times larger than the control area of Rongmei Tusi in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and larger than the territory of Rongmei Tusi in the late return to the motherland/kloc-.
