Yang ’s chieftain ruled Bozhou since the late Tang Dynasty,through the Song,Yuan,to the Ming Dynasty,the economic strength is strong,cultural development and prosperity,military strength can not be underestimated,under the rule of the central dynasty to guard the land,loyal to the court,repeatedly rewarded.However,with the development of the times,the Chieftain rule is also gradually changing,Yang ’ s rule in Bozhou is subject to many constraints,resulting in frequent contradictions within the Yang family,triggering civil unrest.As a local chieftain,the internal problems are closely related to the changes of local forces.In the process of internal disputes,in addition to the internal problems of the Yang family,the chieftains in the territory,the surrounding chieftains,the local government and the central government all participate in them,with their own purposes.Finally,the internal problems of the Yang family can not be completely solved,and gradually developed and accumulated.The consequences of the chaotic situation continued to the last generation of chieftain Yang Yinglong.This internal dispute of the Yang family was not caused by a single factor,but by the resultant force of multiple issues under the unstable policy environment at that time.The southwest of Ming Dynasty was in a period of change and reconstruction,and the regional pattern was constantly changing.Under the trend of land conversion,the rule of Yang ’ s chieftain in Bozhou is more and more restricted by the rule of exiled officials.The central and provincial governments have great powers in the inheritance,chaos and investigation of the chieftain of Bozhou.In the case of Yang ’ s internal dispute,they have repeatedly appeared to investigate and solve the problem.However,due to the limitation of the times,the fundamental problem has not been solved.Although other local officials in Bozhou are managed by the chieftains,they also have an impact and restriction on the chieftains.Competition or stability of their own power in Bozhou area is the main appeal of other local officials in the territory.Therefore,in the process of internal disputes,these forces play a role in the internal disputes of the chieftain family,frequently pick up,provoke disputes and promote the expansion of internal disputes.The intensified internal disputes spread to the surrounding chieftain areas,triggering conflicts and disputes between Bozhou and the surrounding chieftain areas.Yang ’ s internal dispute in Bozhou is actually the result of joint efforts in many aspects,and the fundamental reason is the uncertainty of the ruling policy of the Ming Dynasty.There was a lack of systematic land conversion in the southwest of Ming Dynasty,mainly in the process of carrying out or dealing with certain events,and there was no precise planning and preparation in advance.In the process of the civil war in Bozhou in the middle of the Ming Dynasty,if handled properly and considered comprehensively,the Chieftain rule of Bozhou may not have to end with a war.The chaos of Bozhou area in Ming Dynasty needs to summarize the experience and lessons,and later generations should be alert.
