(Xu Liyang) Recently, I occasionally read the book "The Remains of Wang's Green Field Hall" by Wang Lai, an official of the Ming Dynasty and the Jingtaijian Dynasty, and there is an article written by him entitled "Pingman Enxin Stele". A brief account of the early years of Emperor Zhu Qiyu Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, on the orders of Emperor Daizong and the general Liang Hu, led the Ming army of 190,000, logistics services and more than 30,000 civilian workers to quell the rebellion of The Miao chiefTain Wei Tonglie in western Hunan and southeastern Guizhou.
The inscription is followed by the names of the Ming generals who participated in the quelling of the rebellion and a number of local officials in Huguang and Guizhou. Among them was Xing Duan, deputy envoy of the Huguang Bureau. The appearance of Xingduan provided clear information for the examination of the local history of Chu Hebei, Shijiazhuang and Jingxing, especially the time when Xingduan participated in the quelling of chaos, which could correct the errors contained in the local chronicles and the deficiencies in supplementary historical materials.
According to Wang Lai, a native of Cixi, Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty. Li Guan Yushi, Shanxi Zuo Suffragette, Henan Bu Political Envoy, Henan Huguang Inspector, Dali Temple Qing, Nanjing Ministry of Works Shangshu and other officials. This "Monument of Pingman Enxin" was written by The Chief Soldier Liang Huzhizhi after Wang Came to henan as the governor of Huguang, Henan, and after leading the army to quell the rebellion on the orders of Emperor Jingtai. Later, it was engraved on the stele and "erected in the Qingping Tongqu of Guizhou". The reason why it is called the "Enxin Monument" is that at the request of Luo Yizhi, the Miao chieftain who returned to the Ming Army, the rebellious chieftain Wei Tonglie, jointly erected a monument as a warning to future generations to abide by the oath made in good faith. He also urged the local people of all ethnic groups to abide by the Daming Law and cooperate with the Ming court to jointly maintain a harmonious and stable situation in the southwest region.
Wang Lai's original text is as follows (the original text has no punctuation, Xu Liyang breaks sentence punctuation):
Ping Man En Letter Monument
The beginning of the Dragon Fly of the Holy Heavenly Son, the beginning of the Era of Real Jingtai. The world is in all directions, the salt is Qining; the long of zhizhi, the light is more ancient. However, it is Huguangchen, Yuan, Jingzhou, Guizhou Pingyue, Qingping Land, Mountain Forest Creek Cave, Miao Barbarian Fox, Nest Liaison, Ants Gathering Bee Tun. Cover for a long time, live and nourish. There are those named Wei Tonglie, who are unscrupulous, exorcise the party, and invade the frontier.
The Holy Son of Heaven is a fool of all, but when he is blessed, he repents. The ugly period is not bad, and the benefits are rampant at home and abroad. The courtiers repeatedly asked for revenge. Therefore, he ordered the capital Yushichen to come, the governor of the military affairs, and Baoding Bochen to hang up the General Yin Chong of the Pingman Army. The officers of the deputy generals on the left and right are either elected by benevolence or by wisdom and courage. Counselor Counselor with his husband is a man of outstanding learning. He left school in April of that year and arrived in Chenzhou in July. Train soldiers and trainers, and treat equipment. The plan was completed, and in October, Renchen sent troops to Tianzhu and Other places such as Jingzhou, Tonggu, Wukai, Chengbu, and Pingshui. □ soldiers, they all drive the path and pound, like destroying the decay. Those who resist the enemy are all captured, and the people who meet the surrender are all caressed. □□ the lake of the lake, the edge of the lake, but moved to Yuanzhou with the Qing Dynasty, and the reward was greatly rewarded. The military might is both strong and strong. In February of next year, yihai, the battalions were lined up, and the generals were mighty, and they entered Xinglong, Qingping, and Pingyue in Guizhou. Its thief leader pretended to be Wei Tonglie, the King of Miao, and so on, and he was a threat to the crowd to rely on the dangerous incense burner cottage. Its mountains stand on a thousand feet, and its roots are more than thirty miles. The large army lined up the camp, the flag shone brightly, and the spear flew frost.
Miao Zhong then sent the thief Wei Tonglie and others to the military gate, using him as the yuan evil. Send the weapon to the Beijing Division, and clearly correct his crime. Fear of intimidation did not dare to go immediately. The officers and soldiers were heavily guarded and attacked. All of them knelt on the cliff and prayed to the beggars.
The right counselor Li Zhenyan said to the governor and chief military officer: "The king's master lies in eliminating violence and Huairou. The evil of the present yuan and the same evil have been suppressed. And his coercion from Yu Dang and his wife and children, in the past, they were all fertilized for a long time. He also tried to contribute to the supply of endowments and the weaving of the gangsters. Now that we are surviving, it is advisable to practice the principle of compassion. The benevolence of the vice-lord forgiveness. ”
The same is true, and it is agreed. So Miao Shou and twelve other people all hung down the mountain with vines and roses, and prostrated themselves in front of the army. Disclosure of the crime of coercion. Xu yiyi's tribute to the service is as it was. Therefore, the officials and troops of the imperial court were blessed with good fortune in death and life. Salty kowtow earnestly. Its more than ten thousand in vain, all of them are fixed. Return to the old business.
Luo Yi waited and said: I have waited for life, since the past, children and grandchildren, mountains, forests, grasses and trees, all wear holy grace. Confined to dehua, Gou or Yi Meng is not thinking, and is willing to be condemned. Make my creatures perish forever in the nine lands, and I cannot look up to the sun and the moon. Please set up a stone mountain, the world for the oath.
alack! East Yi Xi Rong, Southern Barbarian Northern Di. In ancient times, those who rebelled against the Heavenly Dao of their kind were all destroyed; those who submitted to the sanctification were not born perfectly. In fact, I am in charge of the Imperial Four Yi, and I am humbled and nurtured, so that it will be self-nurturing. The heavens and the earth are all overridden. Does it mean to be defensive? But its kind of temperament or taming, so that the incitement arises, and then adds to the soldiers. How can the imperial court be killed by the poor!
Hong Wei is now the emperor, with great resources, to soothe the fortune of Zhongxing. Ordered to eliminate the army from cruelty. In the intervening months, the annihilation of fierceness and great salvation; the restoration of the territory, the solemnization of the frontier. The mao of merit, the ancient Hanlun, the blessing of the ten thousand years of peace!
The grand general soldier asked Yu Wen yu shi to go to the town of Zishan. And to show that the Miao Man will never forget the virtue of the Holy Pilgrimage. Cover the stone can be stony, and the grace can not be stony. The book is the "Letter of Pingman Grace". Make it revere to the clouds of time.

Ming Jiajing's edition of the Book of Huguang Tujing lists the list of successive deputy envoys of Huguang
At the end of the article, the sentence "Xing Duan, deputy envoy of Huguang According to the Cha Division", Xing Duan was a native of Kangzhuang, Jingjing, in the early Ming Dynasty, and Yongle was raised in the eighteenth year. Xuandejian official supervised the imperial history, and Injong served as the deputy envoy of Huguang according to the Inspection Department for the ninth year of Emperor Yingzong's reign. According to the deputy envoy of the Department of Inspection, he is responsible for the criminal law affairs of a province, which is equivalent to the position of vice president of the provincial high court today, and is also a civilian official. Therefore, participating in the war, as the article calls "the position of counselor and counselor, are all people with outstanding knowledge", that is, to help supervise the local people to vigorously cooperate with the Ming army to suppress the chaos.
According to the eighth year of Qing Yongzheng (1723), the "Chronicle of Jingxing County • Characters" contains: Xingduan "Xuande Zhong, Tuihu Guangguang according to the deputy envoy of the Cha Division. When the Luchuan River is in chaos, the fate... Go out and march on it. Duan Xiang, the first soldier, the group of seedlings frightened servants, decapitation is not calculated. Miao's 'Xing Tiger' ... After three years of orthodoxy, Miao fu entered Kou and the Duke of Qianguo was defeated. Resurrection of the End of the Commandment... and went to war, and the fruit was besieged. Die unyieldingly. Chongqi Xiangxian" and other words (the original text still has some legendary sentences), so in the past, many sources according to this describe Xing Duan as quelling the rebellion of The Foothills and Miao in Yunnan and died on the battlefield. In the book "Dictionary of Chinese Names" compiled by the Republic of China, there are still records of xingduan's dispatch when the people climbed and sent it, which was also a mistake for Zhang Guan li daizhi (actually the matter of Bo Guchu, the lord of Huguang Qianyang County, who was impeached by Xingduan); in addition, in the section of the seventy-fifth volume of the Qing Dynasty's "Qifu Tongzhi" "Political Affairs • Zhengdingfu • Ming", there is also a record of Xingduan: "Xingduan, Jingxingren." Yongle Zhongren, official Imperial History. He was appointed deputy envoy of Xiangyang Military Armament. Sexual integrity, law-abiding, not powerful. When Miao was in chaos, he suppressed more than thirty of his villages. Rank is full, and the people's gurudwara is retained. Reinstated for three years". His records are "deputy envoys of Xiangyang's military armaments" and "rank is full, and the people are retained." Reinstated for three years. It is also a fallacy, which is inconsistent with the records of the Ming Shilu, the Huguang Tongzhi, etc., and Wang Lai's "Pingman Enxin Stele".
In recent years, with the popularization and development of the network information age, it has provided convenience for consulting ancient books, enabling some historical materials that were difficult to publicize in the past to be queried, and also correcting and supplementing the erroneous records of the past and returning their true faces.
As far as Xing Duan was concerned, he did not participate in quelling the Rebellion of Luchuan Miao. His real experience is that Xingduan lived between Yongle and Tianshun in the early Ming Dynasty (about 1400-1460), and went through the reign of at least five emperors. During xuande's reign, he served as the inspector of imperial history for many years; from the ninth year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy as the deputy envoy of Huguang, until the first year of Tianshun after The restoration of Emperor Mingyingzong, a total of thirteen years (in the middle of which he was falsely imprisoned for two years). During his tenure in Huguang, provincial officials who supervised the criminal law followed the Ming army several times to participate in the campaign to quell the rebellion in western Hunan and southeastern Qian. And Xing Duan did not die in battle, but was rewarded by the Jingtai Emperor for his military feats! He has also received praise from Emperor Mingzong and Zhu Youjian, king of Kangjian in Huguang Huayang, "Wei Zhaoxian Vice, from embroidery; famous Jingxiang, sonic barbarians"!

Xingduan's final destination, according to historical records, was in the early years of Emperor Mingyingzong's Tianshun reign, when Emperor Yingzong liquidated his former vassals during the reign of Emperor Jingtai of Emperor Daizong, killed Yu Qian, a hero who defended Beijing, and dismissed a number of officials, among whom "Xing Duan Zhishi, deputy envoy of The Order lake Guangshi" (Records of Emperor Mingyingzong) - that is, retired. Xing Duan, on the other hand, was only over sixty years old and had not yet reached the prescribed retirement age of seventy. Soon Xing Duan died of illness in Huguang.
