使 西西
Guizhou was anciently the realm of Luoshi Gui and, in Han times, the kingdom of Yelang, covering the lands of the Zangge and Wuling commanderies. Under the Tang, Bozhou and Sizhou were also established. The Yuan set up the Eight Fans and Shunyuan pacification commissions to hold the region under loose imperial sway. In the Ming, Aicui and Shexiang proved the most steadfast in their loyalty to the throne. Later the Yang of Bozhou, the She of Yongning, and the An of Shuixi grew into the gravest menace in the southwest; when the Yang were overthrown, their lands became the prefectures of Zunyi and Pingyue; when the She were destroyed, their domain became Yongning county. Early in the Qing, the An of Guizhou still held formidable power. After Sun Kewang's rebellion the new dynasty's calendar had not yet been imposed; Miao and tribal peoples stirred, and warlords who took up arms against one another ravaged the countryside until no day passed in peace.

In Shunzhi 15 (1658), Grand Secretary Hong Chengchou brought Guizhou under control. In the fourth month of Shunzhi 17 (1660), Long Jizhao, a tribal headman of Manai camp, and others rose in revolt. After Yunnan and Guizhou were pacified, every native chieftain paid tribute and obeyed imperial orders. Long Jizhao sheltered outlaws and forged arms in secret; ruffians such as Wen Yuan, Hu Shichang, and Kuang Ronghuan flocked to him. He sought distant support from Li Dingguo, and with Long Jizuo of Shuchang camp and Long Jixiang of Louxia camp he bound himself by blood oath, raiding native stockades in Guangxi's Sicheng and sites around Annan guard—including Aji, Tunshuiqiao, Mayichong, Xiasan'a, and Baitun—pillaging wherever they marched. Governor-General Zhao Tingchen and Provincial Governor Bian Sanyuan offered terms of surrender, but the rebels refused; the two officials then jointly memorialized the throne for permission to attack. On the nineteenth of the eleventh month Tingchen stormed Guomu stockade, killing thousands of rebels and capturing Jizhao's son and Jizuo's wife; Wen Yuan and Hu Shichang fell in the fighting, and he pressed on to seize the Geba stockade. Jizhao barricaded himself in his stockade; imperial troops laid siege. In the second month of Shunzhi 18 (1661), Tingchen had every soldier carry a torch; they burned the stockade and took it by storm. Jizhao and his accomplices, including Kuang Ronghuan, were put to death, and Manai was pacified.

In the ninth month Liu Ding rose in rebellion. In the first month of Kangxi 2 (1663), Mo Zhilian, native magistrate of Danping, was executed for harboring Liu Ding. Wang Yingzhao, native magistrate of Jinzhu, had colluded with Ding; Governor-General Yang Maoxun crushed the revolt, and Ding fled in defeat to Shuixi. In the seventh month he was captured and put to death.

In the first month of Kangxi 3 (1664), the rebel Chang Jinyin and his confederates were executed for plotting revolt. Jinyin, a man from Shangyuan, claimed descent from the Ming general Chang Yuchun; fleeing from Guangdong into Guizhou, he joined An Kun of Shuixi, Pi Xiong, and others in a conspiracy to rebel. Jinyin took the title "Grand General Who Sweeps Away the Barbarians, Earl Who Pacifies Xiang," forged imperial seals, edicts, and battle standards, and rallied followers including Chen Fenglin, Gao Cen, Qi Shiying, and Mi Yinggui to stir the native chieftains into revolt; his associate Chen Da turned informer, and the whole band was seized.

In the second month An Kun, pacification commissioner of Shuixi, rebelled. Earlier, when Grand Secretary Hong Chengchou reached Yuan, his army had been unable to advance; Chengchou won over An Kun with promises modeled on how the Yuan had treated Ajin and the Ming had treated Aicui. Kun gladly surrendered his seal and led the main force along a hidden path into Guiyang. After Yunnan and Guizhou were pacified, Kun was rewarded with a hereditary commission and gifts of robes, hats, boots, silks, and ceremonial goods. He then conspired with Regional Commander Pi Xiong; their restless scheming soon left clear traces. Governor-General Yang Baoxun said: "Shuixi commands a thousand li of rich land and fields vast armies; it is the throat of Yunnan and the gateway of Sichuan, but for Guizhou it is poison lodged in the vitals. If we fail to strike now, the ulcer we allow to fester will only grow worse." He then memorialized for a punitive expedition. Wu Sangui was ordered to command the Yunnan and Guizhou garrisons and advance against the rebels in two columns, east and west. In the third month Sangui led ten garrisons through Qixing Pass at Bijie, posted Regional Commander Liu Zhifu at Dafang to block any breakout, and sent Provincial Commander Li Benshen with the four Guizhou garrisons to join the assault from Liugui River near Dafang, stockpiling grain at Sanhe River. A clerical error in the Guizhou dispatch turned "Liugui" into "Luguang," so Benshen's troops and all grain shipped from Guizhou and Sichuan piled up at Luguang instead; the three columns lost contact with one another entirely. Sangui was trapped for two months; his food ran low and no relief came. Regional Commander Liu Anbang of Yongshun fell in battle, and the ring of siege drew tighter still. At that moment An Ruding, a Shuixi headman, sent scouts to probe the Guizhou camp; Benshen captured them, learned how long Sangui had been surrounded, used them as guides, and marched in relief. Vice Commander Bai Shiyan personally slew a fierce rebel and displayed the head before the army; the enemy broke and fled. Regional Commander Li Rubi drove elite troops through the siege line with supplies; the forces united, routed the rebels at Azuo gorge and again at Dechu gorge, and in the ninth month defeated them once more at Hongya gorge. Kun fled with his wife of the Lu clan to Mulong ravine, then on to Wumeng, which refused him shelter. Kun sent his Han lieutenant Zeng Jing with the official seal to offer surrender, but the offer was refused; Kun was taken alive at Shaojing in Dafang, along with Pi Xiong, An Zhongsheng, and others. Pi Xiong starved himself to death after fifteen days without food; Kun and Zhongsheng were executed.

In the twelfth month of Kangxi 4 (1665), Long Anfan, native chieftain of Langdai, rebelled; Wu Sangui was ordered to march against him. Anfan had been a close ally of An Kun. After Kun's fall he rallied Kun's surviving followers, including Long Sheng, and An Zhongsheng's widow of the Long clan; he killed Yuan Ji, registrar of Anshun, stormed Guanling, and drove straight toward Yongning. Long Sheng and his band also raided Dading and Weining, killing Qin Wen, registrar of Bijie. In the sixth month of Kangxi 5 (1666) Long Anfan was executed and Langdai was pacified.
7
In the seventh month of Kangxi 24 (1685) the Liping rebel He Xinrui rose in revolt. Xinrui was born a Li; he had first taken vows as a monk in Jingzhou, then committed a crime at Pingcha station and fled to Xinhua, where he took the surname He and claimed to be the son of the Ming loyalist He Tengjiao, stirring the Miao to revolt until Liping troops routed him. In the second month of Kangxi 25 (1686) Xinrui was executed; native chieftains including Wei Youneng were resettled, and their territory annexed to Yongcong county.

Changzhai in Guangshun prefecture sat in the very heart of the Miao country. Former Governor-General Gao Qizhuo had lured and captured Ajin and proposed garrison posts to control the surrounding stockades on every side. In the summer of Yongzheng 4 (1726) government troops burned seven stockades but failed to seize the ringleader; Vice Commander Liu Yeji withdrew to Zongjiao and argued that suppression was impossible for three reasons. Ortai countered with three reasons why they had no choice but to suppress them; He ordered Regional Commander Shi Liha to hunt them down, wipe out leaders and followers alike, confiscate weapons, build a vice-commander's garrison at key passes, impose Han dress and shaved heads, institute the baojia system, and register farming households. Riding this victory, they brought over six hundred and eighty raw-Miao stockades on Qian's eastern, southern, and western marches in Guangshun, Dingfan, and Zhenning, and another 1,398 stockades in Zhenning, Yongning, Yongfeng, and Anshun—more than a thousand li of country reaching the Guangdong border.

沿 西 沿
The Qingshui River at Zhenyuan is the upper Yuan: downstream it opens on Huguang, upstream on Guizhou and Guangdong, while raw Miao held its headwaters—the Jiugu River and the Greater and Lesser Dan—for hundreds of li along both banks, their strongholds throughout. Guzhou was divided into inner and outer districts. Inner Guzhou lay 180 li from Liping prefecture, on the site of the Yuan's Guzhou Ba Wan Dong chief's office. It covered more than eighty li square, with four or five thousand households and over twenty thousand people. The Dujiang and Rongjiang flanked it on either side and merged into the Guzhou River. Two or three hundred li in every direction beyond lay outer Guzhou, roughly 1,200–1,300 li around, with thousands of households and more than 100,000 people—comparable to two or three full prefectures. Amid the mountains between Guizhou and Guangdong, Zhuge camp sat at the center, backed by hills and facing the rivers—a position of exceptional strategic strength. Zhang Guangsi, defending Liping, reconnoitered deep country by light cavalry and proposed a garrison at Zhuge camp to hold the region by the throat; Duyun and Bazhai were its outer gates, Danjiang and Qingjiang its inner gates. In the summer of Yongzheng 6 (1728) they first secured Bazhai to open the supply route, then divided forces against the Greater and Lesser Dan Rivers, using ambushes to burn all five stubborn Jijiang stockades. The Miao came to the army to surrender, drinking blood, carving wooden tokens, and burying stones to seal their oath. In Yongzheng 9 (1731), riding their momentum, they pushed down the Jiugu River to the Qingshui. The Jiugu Miao had been stirred up by the Han collaborator Zeng Wendeng, who warned that direct rule would double their land tax every year and boasted that deep rivers and sheer cliffs would keep troops out. When government troops arrived, the Miao feigned a plea for peace, citing the busy farming season; Guangsi pretended to accept while secretly ferrying boats across by night to cut off their escape and reinforcements. Su Dayou and Zhang Yumo stormed their stronghold, repulsed a night attack on the camp, filled ditches and tore up palisades, and pressed deep into dangerous country; Miao on every side wailed, and they bound Zeng Wendeng and brought him in. Heavy garrisons were then established on the Qingshui and Dan to control the river trade; troops hired more than a hundred Miao boats to carry salt, cloth, and grain to and from Hunan until traffic never ceased; Han and tribes alike rejoiced, and merchants flocked in.
10
Guzhou had long been remote and untouched; early in the Qing, when Ma Bao, a general of Wu Sangui's rebel regime, marched from Huguang into Yunnan through Guzhou, local Miao ambushed his column and seized heavy cannon, armor, and gunpowder—after which they grew steadily stronger, especially along the upper and lower rivers. The upper river country was Lainiu and Dingdan; the lower was Rongdong. When Guangsi first arrived, the Miao assumed government troops would not stay long and vacillated toward peace; when word spread that a fortress was rising at Zhuge camp, they rose in arms across the region. In the autumn of Yongzheng 8 (1730) Guangsi had troops assemble Miao boats into a pontoon bridge at midnight, struck unprepared enemies, and advanced on Lainiu and Dingdan on the upper river, killing or capturing four thousand and seizing countless guns and arms. In the deep ravines of Rongdong on the lower river, where sheer peaks blocked the sun, they cut roads through the hills and hunted down every hideout. They then surveyed both rivers end to end, cleared dangerous shoals, posted watch stations, and opened supply lines. Between the Dujiang and Qingshui the Dan River ran crosswise, separated by only fifty-odd li of land; once that gap was bridged, merchant vessels from Huguang and Guangdong sailed straight to Zhenyuan, and Guzhou was firmly pacified.
11
西 殿
Earlier the Yongzheng Emperor, impressed that Guangsi had pacified Guzhou by persuasion without major fighting, promoted him from prefect to provincial governor within a year, sent Academician Reader Chunshan and Mu Kedeng to inspect the army, and granted 100,000 taels to reward the troops. Ortai summoned Guangxi Governor Jin Hong to Guiyang to plan border defense; they proposed a Guzhou garrison at Liping, coordinated camps at Bazhai and Danjiang in Duyun and on the Qingshui in Zhenyuan, and several thousand additional troops as Guzhou's outer defenses; Later the Qingjiang coordinated camp was upgraded to a full garrison, sharing jurisdiction with Guzhou. The Yongzheng Emperor rewarded Ortai's service by ennobling him as Baron Xiangqin with perpetual hereditary rank. In the winter of Yongzheng 9 Ortai was recalled to the capital as Grand Secretary of the Hall of Military Glory; Gao Qizhuo replaced him in the field, and Yuan Zhancheng became governor of Guizhou.
12
In Yongzheng 12 (1734) Ha Yuansheng submitted a gazetteer of the newly opened Miao frontier; Yin Jishan took charge of Yunnan and Guizhou, and unrest among the Guizhou Miao broke out again. The newly opened Miao frontier covered two or three thousand li—nearly half of Guizhou—and as garrisons multiplied, most defensive troops from the interior prefectures were redeployed to the new borderlands. Moreover, Ortai's campaigns of force and persuasion had reached only Guzhou and the Qingshui, not the Jiugu Miao of Taigong. Local officials insisted Taigong had always been under imperial control; Governor Yuan Zhancheng underestimated the frontier and hastily posted a garrison there in Yongzheng 10 (1732). While the autumn grain was still in the fields, the Miao pretended to accept the building works; the moment harvest ended they rallied hundreds of stockades of the upper and lower Jiugu, rebelled, besieged the main camp, and seized the Pailue Daguan pass to cut the supply road. Wood and water for the camp ran out; the garrison held out for a full month until relief arrived and broke the siege. After an audience in the capital, Provincial Commander Ha Yuansheng returned to Guizhou; in the spring of Yongzheng 11 (1733) he marched on Taigong, routed the rebels at the Lotus Pond of Fanzhao, and posted a garrison there.

調 西
In the spring of Yongzheng 13 (1735) corrupt grain levies by frontier officials set stockades rising far and near, and rebel proclamations spread everywhere. Regional Commander Han Xun defeated rebels at Wangjialing in Guzhou, but they regrouped between the Qingshui and Taigong, and Fanzhao camp was besieged again. Governor Yuan Zhancheng, at odds with Ha Yuansheng, hastily dispatched five thousand men under Vice Commander Song Chaoxiang to relieve the camp, but halfway they too were trapped by rebels. Learning that half the interior garrisons had been moved to the Miao frontier and that the cities were poorly defended, the rebels poured in, seizing Kaili, Chong'an River post, Huangping, Yanmen, Qingping, and Yuqing, and raiding as far as Zhenyuan and Sizhou. The seat of Zhenyuan prefecture had no walled city. Panic spread; many garrisons at Taigong and on the Qingshui were lured or overrun by the rebels. Rebellion flared on every side, and the provincial capital went on alert. In the fourth month Ha Yuansheng marched out in person with three hundred of his own troops and seized Yanglao post in Qingping. In the sixth month an edict mobilized troops from Yunnan, Sichuan, Huguang, and Guangdong for a joint campaign; Ha Yuansheng was named General Who Displays Might, with Huguang Commander Dong Fang as his deputy. In the seventh month Minister of Justice Zhang Zhao was appointed Grand Minister for Pacifying the Miao Frontier, with Vice Censor-in-Chief De Xishou as his deputy. By then Yin Jishan had already sent two thousand Yunnan troops marching day and night to relieve the siege, and Hunan and Guangdong forces were arriving in turn. Seeing relief columns converging from every direction, the raw Miao plundered what they could and withdrew to their strongholds, abandoning the towns they had taken. Ha Yuansheng marched on Kaili, called on the garrison commanders to retake the lost towns, and combined forces to attack the rebels at Chong'an River and clear the route for Yunnan troops. After retreating to their lairs, the raw Miao rallied to besiege Qing garrisons across the new frontier, and Taigong, Qingjiang, Danjiang, and Bazhai all sent urgent calls for help at once. Eight thousand Guangxi soldiers had reached Guzhou; Guangdong supply convoys were moving upriver day and night; and Huguang forces were assembling in turn on the Zhenyuan frontier. Ha Yuansheng sent Han Xun of the Guzhou garrison to storm the rebel chiefs' strongholds and split his forces three ways: one column through Gaogong to reach Taigong, one through Bagong to relieve Liuluo and open the route to Qingjiang, and one through Duyun to support Bazhai; Assistant Brigade Commander Feng Mao at Bazhai then treacherously slaughtered more than six hundred Miao who had surrendered and over thirty of their chiefs to claim false merit. Fugitives who made it back spread word among their comrades, the blood-oath hardened, and many killed their own wives and daughters before going out to fight the government troops. They took Qingxi county town. Liuluo on the Qingshui and Danjiang in Duyun had been under siege since spring—half a year with food gone and no relief—before the encirclement was broken after nine months.

Zhang Zhao was dispatched to the Miao frontier with orders to assess the situation on the ground. On reaching Yuanzhou and Zhenyuan, Zhang Zhao secretly memorialized that pushing ahead with direct administration was a mistake, wrote to the field commanders urging withdrawal from contested territory, openly favored Dong Fang, and pressed exclusively for pacification—putting him at odds with Ha Yuansheng. Hunan and Guangdong troops all fell under Dong Fang's command. They soon agreed to partition both territory and forces: north of Shibing would be handled by Yunnan and Guizhou troops under Ha Yuansheng; south of Shibing by Hunan and Guangdong troops under Dong Fang. Troops already in the field were shuffled and reassigned; Ha Yuansheng and Dong Fang began drawing boundary lines through villages and roads and arguing over jurisdiction by dispatch. Great armies sat idle for months with nothing to show for it; rebels slipped out again to burn and loot, and alarms sounded repeatedly across Qingping, Huangping, and Shibing. At court and in the provinces alike, those who feared the cost of war began insisting the frontier should never have been opened and could no longer be held—the whole campaign teetered on the brink of reversal.

使使 退 使 調
In the eighth month Zhang Zhao and De Xishou were recalled to the capital. In the tenth month Zhang Guangsi was made commissioner-in-chief over seven provinces; Ha Yuansheng and the other commanders were all placed under his authority. Zhang Zhao, Dong Fang, Ha Yuansheng, and Yuan Zhancheng were soon arrested and brought to trial. Zhang Guangsi memorialized: "Zhang Zhao and the others failed because they divided combat troops from garrison troops while treating raw and pacified Miao as a single enemy. Our forces were already too few, yet they were divided further; the rebels were already numerous, yet they were allowed to rally together. After their defeat at Guzhou the rebel chiefs regrouped at Upper and Lower Jiugu, along the Qingshui and Danjiang, and at Gaopo, each great stockade commanding dozens or hundreds of lesser ones. They supported one another in a pincer. Whenever we struck one sector, the others came to its aid. They outnumbered us, so the rebels grew bolder while our armies kept losing ground. The only way forward is to strike the heart of the rebellion—destroy the ringleaders and shatter their inner circle—or we will never break their following. For now we should pacify the acculturated Miao, require them to surrender fugitives and weapons, and thus split the raw Miao's strength. Then send the main force in three columns against the raw Miao strongholds so they cannot aid one another—our strength concentrated, theirs divided. Strike the scattered enemy with disciplined troops and we can wipe them out in one campaign; only then punish the acculturated Miao who joined the revolt, and secure a lasting peace." With that plan in hand Zhang Guangsi mustered all Guizhou troops at Zhenyuan to secure the main route between Yunnan and Guizhou. He sent over four thousand seasoned troops against Upper Jiugu and as many against Lower Jiugu, while personally leading more than five thousand against stockades downstream on the Qingshui. That winter all three columns struck on a fixed schedule.

In the spring of Qianlong 1 (1736) he reinforced the army and sent eight columns to sweep rebel stockades one by one; the survivors all fled into the Niupi Great Gorge. The gorge lay deep in Miao territory, winding for hundreds of li—bounded by the Danjiang on the north, Guzhou on the south, Duyun and Bazhai on the west, and the Qingshui and Taigong on the east. Cliffs rose to the clouds, ancient forest blocked out the sky, and mist and rain hung constant; serpents thrived there. Even local Miao knew only part of its hidden reaches. The rebel chiefs hid inside, counting on the army's inability to penetrate, and waited to raid again once the troops withdrew. Zhang Guangsi ordered the armies to block every gorge mouth and starve the rebels out, while posting ambush forces outside to cut off escape—as if penning beasts or netting fish—in tightening rings that closed in step by step. From the fourth to the fifth month soldiers endured malaria and pushed through thicket and scrub, searching every hollow and clearing every cliff. They even allowed rebels to kill or capture one another in exchange for pardon. Not one hardened chief escaped; prisoners and severed heads numbered in the tens of thousands, and countless more starved or fell to their deaths in the ravines. Over the next six years he used the army's momentum to mop up acculturated Miao who had joined the revolt, sorting them into chief culprits, lesser offenders, and the coerced. Campaign followed campaign through seasons hot and cold until 1,224 stockades were destroyed, 388 pardoned, more than 17,600 rebels killed in battle, more than 25,000 taken prisoner, and more than 46,500 firearms and cannon captured along with over 148,000 blades, bows, crossbows, banners, and suits of armor. Half the prisoners were released; rebel lands were confiscated; nine military colonies were established and settled with garrison troops to hold the region. An edict exempted the new frontier from grain levies forever, to keep corrupt officials from preying on the people. Miao legal disputes were still settled by Miao custom, not Qing statute. Zhang Guangsi was made governor of Guizhou with the powers of provincial governor and granted the hereditary rank of Commandant of Light Chariots. From then on the peoples of the south did not rise again.

西 使
In the summer of the fifth year the Yao of Jingzhou and Wugang in Hunan and the Hengling Miao of Chengbu rose together with Guangxi's Yao. Governor-General Bandi sent Zhen'gan Commander Liu Ceming with five thousand men to suppress the revolt and five thousand as reserves; Zhang Guangsi was again appointed Imperial Commissioner to direct the campaign. More than five thousand were killed and another five thousand captured before the army withdrew in the twelfth month.

Ortai died in Qianlong 10 (1745); for his role in opening the southwest he was granted posthumous worship in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
19
Later, in Qianlong 60 (1795), the Songtao Miao rose in revolt; in Xianfeng 2 (1852) sectarian rebels stirred trouble that spread into the Miao country, which was not pacified until Tongzhi 12 (1873). Those outbreaks were not led by native chieftains, so they are not recorded here.

The Shuixi pacification commission: in Kangxi 3 (1664) Wu Sangui overthrew An Kun and established four prefectures in its place. In the twelfth month of Kangxi 21 (1682) the Emperor told the Grand Secretaries: "Before Wu Sangui rebelled, in campaigning against Shuixi he had destroyed the native chieftain An Kun; An Kun's wife, Lady Lu, fled to Wumeng and later bore a son, An Shizong. I observe that Pingyue, Qianxi, Weining, and Dading originally lay in Miao country; exclusive rule by a native chieftain would be the most practical arrangement. When the great army marched to recover Yunnan, Lady Lu had gone ahead to supply the troops and rendered notable service; the pacification commission was therefore restored and Shizong was permitted to inherit it. In Kangxi 40 (1701), Governor-General Wang Jiwen, citing An Shizong's harm to officials and people, again requested that succession be halted and the territory placed under direct administration.
