In 1658 AD, the last minor emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the minor imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty retreated from Guizhou, Guangxi to Yunnan. Under the siege of Wu Sangui and Zhuo Butai, they fled to the border of western Yunnan. The king of Jin, Li Dingguo, ambushed his troops in Gongshan. Unexpectedly, Lu Guisheng, the minister of Dali Temple, informed him. Li Dingguo was defeated and four generals including Gao Wengui died in the battle. Emperor Yongli retreated to Burma, and was later seized by the Burmese side and given to Wu Sangui. In April 1662 AD, he was killed by Wu Sangui in Kunming.
At that time, Li Dingguo, king of Jin Dynasty, and Bai Wenxuan, king of Gongchang County, still led their troops to fight in western Yunnan. After hearing the news of Yongli's death, Li Dingguo died of illness, and Bai Wenxuan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Li Dingguo's general Yang Rong hid the 160,000 taels of gold presented by Shu King Liu Wenxiu in Taoren Mountain, hoping to make a comeback. Many years later, Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and Yang Rong went down to join Wu Sangui... To find Zhu Ming's descendants. The Nanming Dynasty was founded in Guangdong and spread to Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan. It lived in exile on horseback until the death of Emperor Yongli, which lasted for nearly 20 years. It was known as the "Horseback Dynasty" in history.
