Native officials in northwest Yunnan took advantage of the Guard system to strengthen their links with the Ming state. They forged connections with military officers in the Guards through marriage unions to protect their vested interests. For instance, Gao Chengzu, Native Official of Beisheng sub-prefecture, married his third daughter to Li Junzhi 李君植, Associate Military Commander 指挥同知 at the Lancang Guard during the Wanli era (1573–1619). Chengzu’s wife was the third sister of Mu Wang 木旺, the Native Official of Lijiang.61 Here, we can discern a pattern of native officials extending marriage alliances to include military officials of the Lancang Guard.

In summary, numerous tribute missions to the capital, the deployment of troops to fight for the Ming, and the issue of rewards from the emperor further strengthened interaction between the native officials in northwest Yunnan, the Ming court, and local administrative units at every level.
