The Ming conquest of Yunnan was the final phase in the Ming dynasty expulsion of Mongol-led Yuan dynasty rule from China proper in the 1380s.

Background

The Hongwu Emperor sent to Yunnan in 1369, 1370, 1372, 1374, and 1375 asking for its surrender. Some of the envoys were killed and this was the pretext under which an invasion was launched against Yuan-held Yunnan.[3]

War

Some 250,000 to 300,000 Chinese and Hui Muslim troops were mobilized to crush the remaining Yuan held territory in Yunnan in 1381.

The Ming General Fu Youde led the attack on the Mongol and Yuan Muslim forces. Also fighting on the Ming side were Generals Mu Ying and Lan Yu, who led Ming loyalist Muslim troops against Yuan loyalist Muslims.[4]

The Prince of Liang, Basalawarmi, committed suicide on January 6, 1382, as the Ming dynasty Muslim troops overwhelmed the Yuan Mongol and Muslim forces. Mu Ying and his Muslim troops were given hereditary status as military garrisons of the Ming dynasty and remained in the province.[5]

Aftermath

Main article: Yunnan under Ming rule

Duan Gong, whose ancestors were the rulers of the Dali Kingdom prior to the Mongol conquest, and had administrated the region under the Yuan dynasty, refused to accept Ming administration. He made it clear that Dali could only be a tributary to the Ming. Fu Youde attacked and crushed Duan Gong's realm after a fierce battle. The Duan brothers were taken captive and escorted back to the Ming capital.[6]

The Ming Generals Lan Yu and Fu Youde castrated 380 captured Mongolian and Muslim captives after the war.[7] This led to many of them becoming eunuchs and serving the Ming Emperor.[8] One of the eunuchs was Zheng He.[9]

In western Yunnan and Guizhou, Ming Chinese soldiers also crushed local rebellions. The Ming soldiers then married local Chinese, Miao, and Yao women; their descendants are called "Tunbao", in contrast to newer Chinese colonists who moved to Yunnan in later centuries. The Tunbao still live in Yunnan today.[10]
