Lu Zhenfei's suggestion still makes sense.
Theoretically speaking, military attaches will go to Beijing every few years to report on their duties.
This is their most basic obligation.
However, in the middle and late Chongzhen Dynasty, military commanders gradually became vassal towns.
For example, Zu Dashou and Zuo Liangyu in the later period completely ignored the imperial court's orders.
It can be said that they did not listen to orders.
Emperor Chongzhen had no good solution to this problem and could only choose to let it go.
Although Zuo Liangyu is gone now, Zheng Zhilong is still a powerful warlord.
Fujian has become Zheng Zhilong's private territory, and it is difficult for the imperial court to exert influence on Fujian.
But after all, the imperial court had great righteousness.
If Zhu Cixi issued an imperial decree ordering Zheng Zhilong to go to Beijing to report on his duties, there would be no problem.
And Zheng Zhilong will be in a dilemma.
If he enters Beijing according to the order, the imperial court can take the opportunity to put him under house arrest and control him, and then gradually dismantle the Zheng family's power in Fujian.
If he doesn't come, it will prove that Zheng Zhilong really has something in his heart and is guilty.
Of course, if it were the latter, Zheng Zhilong would not immediately rebel against the Ming Dynasty.
At most, he would follow Zu Dashou's model in the later period and completely manage Fujian as a third-party place.
After much thought, Zhu Cihong still felt that it was necessary to issue an imperial edict to test Zheng Zhilong.
He said in a deep voice: "I will issue an imperial decree to order Zheng Zhilong to come to Beijing to report on his duties.
I would like to see how Zheng Zhilong will make his decision."
After some weighing, Qin Liangyu finally ordered to cross the Jinsha River.
Since there were not enough ships for the army to cross the river, Qin Liangyu ordered the soldiers to build pontoon bridges.
They built simple bamboo rafts and connected them end to end, forming a long winding dragon.
An army of 30,000 can't cross the river just by talking.
Qin Liangyu divided the army into three parts.
The forward battalion crossed the river first.
After reaching the other side, they established a firm foothold and then allowed the Chinese army to cross the river.
At the same time, the army at the rear was always on alert to prevent the enemy from suddenly coming out and causing serious damage to the army.
Half-crossing and attacking has always been a ruthless tactic, and the attacking side can often take advantage.
Therefore, Qin Liangyu put security work first from the beginning.
Fortunately, the Ming army did not suffer any attacks during the entire process of crossing the river.
Arriving on the other side of the Jinsha River, the Ming army entered Yunnan.
According to the administrative division of the Ming Dynasty, this place is Xundian Prefecture.
As the north gate of Yunnan Prefecture, the geographical location of Xundian Prefecture is still very important.
After Sha Dingzhou captured Kunming, he deployed heavy troops around Kunming, including an army of 20,000 people stationed in Xundian Prefecture.
This army was led by his trusted general Mutai, and the entire army was entrenched near Fengwu Suo.
Therefore, when the Ming army led by Qin Liangyu entered the border of Xundian Prefecture, they did not encounter large-scale resistance.
Some of the scouts he encountered occasionally were eliminated by Zeng Ying.
After Qin Liangyu entered Xundian Prefecture, he was not in a hurry to attack Fengwusuo.
Instead, he ordered the army to camp on the spot and rush to build siege equipment.
Qin Liangyu knew very well that the fortresses in the southwest were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be very difficult to attack them by relying on a large number of people.
The best way to capture these fortresses is to use trebuchets and artillery.
Since they had to travel long distances over mountains and ridges, this Ming army did not carry any heavy artillery.
The only dozen small cannons did not pose a great threat to the fortress, so building a trebuchet became Qin Liangyu's only choice.
The structure of the trebuchet is not complicated, it can be constructed by temporarily cutting down trees.
As for the stones, you can choose them on the spot.

If Yunnan is short of anything, there will be no shortage of stones.
After the Ming army had finished building all the trebuchets they needed, Qin Liangyu ordered to break camp and advance towards Fengwu.
Yunnan has a mountainous terrain, and soldiers can easily get lost on rugged mountain roads.
However, this Ming army did not encounter such trouble.
Because most of them are local chieftain soldiers in Sichuan, they are very adapted to this terrain.
However, some of the troops led by Zeng Ying and the Shence Army were somewhat overwhelmed.
However, they were not willing to fall behind these soldiers, and even if they had difficulties, they gritted their teeth and followed them.
On the way to Fengwusuo, the Ming army passed by many outposts and took advantage of the opportunity to uproot them.
From the prisoners' mouths, they learned that part of the troops in Xundian Prefecture had been temporarily transferred away by Sha Dingzhou.
Qin Liangyu was overjoyed when he heard this.
If this is the case, the possibility of the Ming army taking Fengwu Institute this time has increased by several percent.
She ordered these prisoners to lead the way, and at the same time ordered the entire army to remain vigilant and beware of sneak attacks by the rebels.
Fortunately, the Ming army went smoothly along the way, and the expected sneak attack did not happen.
Until the Ming army advanced to Fengwu Suo, they encountered no large-scale resistance.
Fengwusuo is a stone castle built on the mountainside.
If you want to capture it, you can only attack it from the front, and there aren't many good ways.
Qin Liangyu ordered the chieftain soldiers who were familiar with mountain warfare to advance towards Fengwu Suo as the vanguard, while the Shence Army and the Ming Army in Eastern Sichuan responded behind.
At this stage, the rebels stationed in the stone castle certainly understood the Ming army's intentions.
Although they didn't understand how the Ming army came to Feng Wu's camp without a trace, they could just fight.
They smashed down the rolling logs and rocks in the fortress.
These objects rolled down the stone path and caused considerable damage to the Sichuan soldiers on the spurt.
Some casualties inevitably began to occur, and Qin Liangyu had to endure it even though he was heartbroken.
Unlike plains where you can take roundabout ways in mountainous operations, there is often only one path to choose from.
Most of the enemy's fortresses are built in strategic locations, which are certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The siege party would have to pay a higher price if they wanted to capture these fortresses.
Thinking back to the time when Emperor Wanli put down the Bozhou Rebellion, a hundred thousand Ming troops besieged Hailongdun and finally captured it at a heavy price.
This does not mean how sharp Yang Yinglong's rebels were.
It can only be said that the location of Hailongdun is really good.
The general structure of these fortresses in Yunnan is similar to that in Guizhou.
If you want to capture them, there is no shortcut, you can only grit your teeth and attack them hard.
Although Qin Liangyu felt sorry for the lives of his nephews, he would not be soft-hearted at this time.
She is for the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court.
The sacrifices of these nephew soldiers are valuable and meaningful Now the world is in chaos, and the Eastern captives are watching with eager eyes.
At this time, the southwest must not be in chaos again.
If the imperial court cannot quickly suppress the Sha Dingzhou rebellion, its prestige in the southwest will be greatly reduced, and more chieftains will definitely launch rebellions in the future.
Therefore, no matter how many sacrifices are made, the rebels must be defeated this time, Sha Dingzhou must be captured alive and sent to Nanjing for Ming Zhengdian punishment.
Although Qin Liangyu is now old, his loyalty to Ming has not changed at all, and the fire in his heart is still burning and has not been extinguished.
She also hopes that through this suppression of the rebels, she can set an example for future generations and tell them what they should do as a Ming general
