The Ming conquest of Sichuan saw the Ming Dynasty conquer Sichuan from the Ming Xia Kingdom from 1370 to 1371. Besides being situated in a rich province, Xia also prevented further Ming Dynasty expansion into southwestern areas such as Yunnan. The Ming Dynasty's ultimate victory marked the unification of China proper by the Hongwu Emperor.
