使使使
Yunnan was once the territory of the ancient Dian kingdom. When the Yuexi Yi chieftain Ren Gui had himself proclaimed Grand Administrator, Emperor Guangwu of Han at once invested him with the seal and ribbon of office, without treating him by the same rules as officials in the heartland. Families such as the Cuan and the Meng drew on powerful local lineages and, holding office for generations, ruled their respective regions. The Yuan enfeoffed the Prince of Liang in Dian, while the Duan of Dali governed their domain in parallel. When the Ming destroyed the Liang princely house and extinguished Dali, they ruled through native chiefs, organizing the region into Pacification Commissioners, Pacification Supervisors, Reassurance Commissioners, principal and deputy native chiefs, native prefectures, and native subprefectures.

In the seventeenth year of the Shunzhi reign (1660), the Prince Who Pacifies the West, Wu Sangui, brought Yunnan under his control. The Ming Yongli Emperor fled into Burma, and the former domains of the Mu household were granted to Sangui with a perpetual commission to guard Yunnan. In the fourteenth year of Kangxi (1675), the court revoked his fief, and Sangui rose in rebellion. After Sangui's death, his grandson Shifan took up his cause. In the twenty-first year of Kangxi (1682), the Qing forces overran their position; Shifan took his own life, and Yunnan was finally pacified.

Early in the Yongzheng reign, the court began debating the policy of replacing native chiefs with appointed officials. In the summer of the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), reform began with the native chiefs of Dongchuan, and attention turned at once to Wumeng. The native prefects of Wumeng and Zhenxiong—Lu Wanzhong and Long Qinghou—were both young men, and real military authority rested with their uncles Lu Dingkun and Long Lianxing. Ortai stationed Regional Commander Liu Qiyuan at Dongchuan and sought to win Lu Dingkun's surrender. Lu Wanzhong, however, was dominated by a Han collaborator, who persuaded him to send three thousand men from Zhenxiong against Dingkun at Ludian; Ortai dispatched Mobile Corps Commander Ha Yuansheng, who routed them; He also called on the Adi native troops, who were at odds with them, to join in an assault on Wumeng. Government forces broke through pass after pass, and the rebels retreated in defeat toward Zhenxiong. Ortai again induced Long Lianxing to surrender, while Dingkun in turn led three thousand men against Zhenxiong's flank. Both chieftains fled into Sichuan, and within ten days the two native prefectures were subdued. Wumeng was elevated to a prefecture and Zhenxiong to a subprefecture; a military garrison was placed at Wumeng to oversee the three dependencies, and the region was transferred from Sichuan to Yunnan jurisdiction so that authority might rest in one hand. The Faga native chief of Dongchuan, Lu Tianyou, and the Mitie native chief of Wumeng, Lu Yongxiao, still held out in their strongholds and harassed the frontier. In the spring of the sixth year (1728), government forces broke Faga and took its chief prisoner. Deputy Commander Guo Shouyu was sent with three hundred men after the Mitie rebels, who escaped across the Lesser Jinsha. They then rallied several thousand Yi and Luo from Shama in Sichuan and from Jianchang and Liangshan, stole back by hidden routes, and overran the government detachment. Ortai sent Regional Commander Zhang Yaozu and Brigade Commander Ha Yuansheng on three converging columns to hunt the rebels down. An imperial edict placed the Jianchang and Yongning forces of Sichuan under Ortai's command. From beyond the Lesser Jinsha through the domains of Shama, Leibo, Tundu, Huanglang, and other native chiefs, all the way to Jianchang—a belt more than a thousand li long—garrisons and patrol posts were set up in a linked chain, and the Leibo native chief Yang Mingyi was taken prisoner; On his return march Ha Yuansheng again routed several thousand followers of the Alu native chief. He established military colonies in Dongchuan that yielded more than twenty thousand piculs of grain a year and mines that produced ten thousand taels annually to support the troops. Hardly had the army been settled when Lu Dingkun, rewarded for his service with promotion to Brigade Vice-Commander in Henan, grew resentful and discontented. His son Lu Wanfu petitioned to return to Ludian to manage the family estates. Seeing that Regional Commander Liu Qiyuan's troops were slack in discipline, he secretly rallied his former followers to plot a revolt. Tens of thousands of merchants and townspeople were then in Wumeng, and the terrain offered defiles that could be held. The rebels carried only poisoned bolts and crossbows, no heavy artillery—yet Liu Qiyuan merely pilfered rations and took bribes to negotiate peace. The rebels overran the garrison town, massacred soldiers and civilians, and stirred up tens of thousands of tribesmen in Dongchuan, Zhenxiong, and Liangshan in Sichuan to rise in revolt. Ortai memorialized: "I have failed in my choice of men. I beg Your Majesty to appoint another senior minister to govern both provinces, and to grant me temporary rank as Provincial Military Commissioner so that I may lead troops against the rebels and redeem this disgrace." The Yongzheng Emperor comforted him and kept him at his post. Ortai assembled more than ten thousand regular troops, with native auxiliaries numbering half as many again, and advanced in three columns. He first sent Regional Commander Wei Zhuguo with two thousand men, who reached Dongchuan in seven days' forced march and kept the city from falling; but Wei Zhuguo was soon stabbed and wounded by Lu Dingming, and Guan Lu was appointed in his place. Ha Yuansheng and Deputy Commander Xu Chenggui were assigned to Wumeng; Brigade Commander Han Xun to Zhenxiong. With four hundred men Han Xun held Kuixiang, routed four thousand rebels, and took four stockades in succession. Ha Yuansheng marched on Wumeng with a little over a thousand men. At Desheng Slope he met twenty thousand rebels. Their two chieftains, Heigua and Mumo, were each said to be a match for ten thousand men. Heigua charged at Yuansheng with a long spear; Yuansheng parried with his left hand, drew an arrow with his right, and killed him on the spot; He then shot Mumo dead, had both heads raised on poles and carried forward, and the rebels' morale collapsed. Victory followed victory until they reached Yina Ridge. Tens of thousands of rebels had pitched camp along more than ten li of ground. With three thousand regulars and a thousand native auxiliaries, they laid ambushes on both flanks of the rebel camp by night and held the main line in battle order. At dawn the rebels attacked from several directions; the government line held firm. As the rebels pressed the line, the guns opened fire and the troops charged with a great shout. Ambush parties on the hills struck from both flanks, and the rebels broke in rout. More than eighty camps were overrun, and captured arms and baggage heaped up like hills. That same day they reached Wumeng. At sight of Yuansheng's banner the rebels turned and fled. Three passes were taken, and Lu Wanfu, his brothers, and Lu Dingkun were all put to death.

In the sixth year Ortai became governor-general of all three provinces. The native subprefecture of Anyufan, the Zhenyuan native prefecture under Diao Huan, the Zhele chief, and the various native chiefs of Weiyuan and Guangnan were impeached and removed one after another. Only disaffected members of the Diao clan, stripped of their native offices, stirred up the Black Luo of Weiyuan to revolt again and murdered Prefect Liu Hongdu. All deposed native chiefs were then resettled in other provinces. Government forces hunted down the Luo of Weiyuan, Xinping, and other districts who had joined the rebels, pressing through malarial country to capture and kill more than a thousand—while more than two hundred of our own officers and men died of the pestilence. They also pushed into the Mengyang and Chashan tribal lands along the Lancang—country that even in the Ming had required Wang Ji's army of a hundred and twenty thousand on a major campaign. The tribes were astonished, declaring that Han troops had never come there since ancient times. Ortai first ordered Cheli native troops to cut off routes beyond the rivers. Regular soldiers cleared the way with axes and spades, burning palisades and filling ditches, breaking through one defile after another until they reached Mengyang and secured Manpo to open the supply line; In the six Chashan strongholds alone there were more than forty stockades. Surrendered tribesmen served as guides, and rebel was set against rebel until the army had penetrated thousands of li, leaving no defile unsearched. Only beyond the rivers did authority remain with the Cheli native chief; all territory on the inner bank was converted to regular administration. Pu'er was elevated to prefectural status; and the Deputy Regional Commander of the Yuanjiang Brigade was stationed there. Officials and garrisons were placed at Simao and Ganlanba to guard the gateways toward Burma and Laos. The native Vice-Prefect of Guangnan and the native Prefect of Fuzhou each voluntarily increased their annual grain tribute by two or three thousand piculs and contributed to building the prefectural and subprefectural walls. The Menglian native chief presented a silver mine; wild tribes along the Nu River sent pelts and tribute; Laos and Jingmai both sent tribute elephants—and Burma trembled. In the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong (1769), the Menggong native chief was moved beyond the frontier pass. For affairs concerning Burma, see the Burma Biography.
