Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 859

In Chongsheng Temple, Qiong Re Duojin was wearing a simple black robe, without even a guard, standing at the gate of the main hall of the temple like a green pine.

Many monks from Chongsheng Temple peeked at this brave general from the Central Plains outside the door. It is said that he is the Garan who was appointed by the Buddha to go down to protect the supreme heaven.

Although the teachings of the Azhali sect are very different from those of the Six Dharma sects, everyone believes in the Buddha, and some places can be the same. People with Qiongre Duojin's identity will naturally attract onlookers.

The current head of Chongsheng Temple is surnamed Dong, and he is the fifth uncle of Dong Sankuo.

The monks of Azhali Sect can marry and have children, so there is no theory of escaping into Buddhism. The fifth uncle of Dong Sankuo, the head of the dharma name Juorong, has not only a group of children, but also great-grandsons and great-granddaughters. Not a lot.

Qiongre Duojin looked at the monk Juerong walking towards him indifferently, without any expression on his face, and then turned his gaze to the white-faced monk behind the monk Juerong.

Monk Juorong is over 80 years old this year, and his beard and hair are all white. This Azhali sect does not pay attention to shaving, but you can't keep long hair, but keep a size similar to later generations. Of course, you can shave if you want of.

Compared with the monk Juerong who has white beard and hair, this white-faced monk with a high nose and deep eyes is at most thirty or so years old, and he looks like the grandson of the monk Juorong.

Qiongre Duo Jinzai stared at the white-faced monk carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it.

Qiongre Duojin was still trying to remember, but the white-faced monk clasped his hands together, saluted him very reverently, and said in a slightly jerky Tang tone:

"Sure enough, it was Jia Lan who was in front of him. The one who wants to do great things in Middle-earth is indeed the Dharma King himself."

As soon as the title of Dharma King came out, Qiongre Duojin finally remembered that this white-faced monk seemed to be one of the disciples of the first monk Baotongzi in Nalanda Temple.

When Zhang Tie took them to move away the treasures of Nalanda Temple, because of insufficient manpower, these monks were asked to help transport them, so Qiongre Duojin still had some impressions.

Seeing this foreign monk, Qiong Re Duojin also knew what the old monk Juorong meant by asking the sage to send a person who had been to Tianzhu to the monk of the Six Dharma sect who was pretending to be Jinyi's personal guard.

"It seems that the supernatural master doesn't want to be the child of the supreme heaven, but wants to go back to the land of the Buddha in Tianzhu?"

Qiongre Duojin wanted to laugh a little. He was born as a slave soldier in Tubo, and he was a bit religious. After following Zhang Tie for so long, he still had a good eye.

These monks are really whimsical!As far as the current situation of Tianzhu Buddhism is concerned, it is impossible to play with those Brahmins, and all passages have been blocked by Brahmins.

The Azali faction still wants to go to Tianzhu, is it to see with their own eyes how miserable the Buddhism of Tianzhu is?
Back then, the sage told them personally that this Tianzhu Buddhist sect was doomed to perish, and there would be no more chances. Qiong Re Duojin firmly believed it.

Of course, Qiong Re Duojin has been professionally trained, no matter how funny he is, he can't laugh, but his tone of voice is not very kind, and it immediately makes Monk Juorong's words a little unnatural.

After a while, the old monk smiled wryly and said: "Don't blame Jialan, some things are already clear at the old monk's age.

Since the eminent monk Zanta Riduo entered Tiannan to spread the Dharma, Mahakala has been handed down here for hundreds of years, but now that the supreme heaven is coming, how can Mahakala continue to exist, why not go back to Tianzhu . "

Qiong Re Duojin remained expressionless, but nodded inwardly, because regardless of whether the sage allowed the Six Dharma Sect to enter Dali, the Azhali Sect had only two choices, either convert to the Six Dharma Sect, or be eliminated.

Because the Azali Sect and the Six Dharma Sect are similar in certain circumstances, both sects regard the Buddha as a mascot.

The only difference is that the Six Dharma Schools regard the Supreme Heaven as the closed disciple of the Buddha, and accept the Buddha's will as the last Buddha in the world.

As for the Azhali sect, it is worshiping double gods, praying for blessings and avoiding disasters and illnesses, worshiping Guanyin with a thin waist, and worshiping Dahei Tiansheng Mahakala for Sheji, wars, and natural disasters.

To put it in a general way, the Azali Sect disassembled the Supreme Heaven of the Six Dharma Schools into Avalokitesvara with a thin waist and Mahakala, the great black god.

Under this narrative system, sects such as the Six Dharma School and Zen School can debate each other in order to live in harmony, but for the Azali School, the only option is to use war to destroy both the body and the mind.

The white-faced monk looked at Joan Radokin who was beginning to meditate, and stretched out his hand to hand over a letter written on the bay leaves, that is, the leaves of Bedoro.

"Please Jialan submit this letter to the Dharma King, and ask the Dharma King to show mercy and save the Nalanda Temple."

Jue Rong also echoed beside him: "The old monk is about to die, and he would like to be a believer of the Supreme Heaven, but he is afraid that his children and grandchildren will be troubled by those who cannot see Mount Tai. I would like to leave some people behind to help the eldest prince Yongzhen Tiannan."

Qiongre Duojin thought about it for a while, although when he came, Zhang Tie had already granted him great autonomy, saying that all matters could be decided by discussing with Guo Rong and Zhang Fei.

Although Qiong Re Duojin didn't read the contents of Bayeux's letter, he felt that it was unusual, so he decisively chose to send [-] miles to send it to Luoyang, the capital of God, day and night.

. . . .

Luoyang, Yongjin Palace, Zhang Tie held this volume of Bayeux letter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. The content of the letter was very simple, and he came to ask for help.

The reason is that after Zhang Tie left Tianzhu, although he left a very favorable situation for Tianzhu Buddhism and the Polo Kingdom.

But in the past 20 years, not to mention the further development of Tianzhu Buddhism, they can't even beat the Quzheluo-Paratihara Kingdom that was divided into three parts.

Now the city of Qunv has long been lost, and the Nalanda Temple is also in jeopardy. The Balo Dynasty, which supported Buddhism, has lost three consecutive wars, and it is almost on the verge of subjugation.

When Zhang Tie was in Tianzhu, these people wanted him to leave, but when they came to this situation, they immediately remembered Zhang Tie's goodness, so they hurriedly sent someone to ask for help from Zhang Tie.

However, Zhang Bingzhong of Zhenyuan Kingdom betrayed Zhang Tie and blocked the road from Tianzhu-Thuoluo-Ningyuan-Anxi to the Central Plains, so Nalanda Temple could only send monks to go to the Central Plains through all kinds of hardships. turn out to be.

As a result, not long after arriving in Dali, they encountered Zhang Zhou's attack on Dali, and these Tianzhu monks were suddenly a little scared.

Because they remembered how Zhang Tie beat everyone up when he was in Tianzhu.

So, after staying for a few months without daring to advance and not wanting to retreat, these Tianzhu monks got in touch with the Azali faction of Chongsheng Temple.

It just so happened that the Azhali faction had been worried about the Six Dharma School entering Dali long ago, and had some plans for it, which can be regarded as falling asleep and meeting a pillow.

As soon as the two parties come together, they are going to bring people of all ethnic groups in Lishui Jiedushi (Myitkyina), Yongchang Jiedushi (Baoshan, Tengchong), and Yinsheng Jiedushi (Puer, Jinghong) who believe in the Azali Sect. Go part way to Tianzhu.

At the same time, the Polo Kingdom was also ready to retreat to the northeast of Tianzhu, and the two sides hit it off, so there was this letter from Bayeux.

Zhang Tie smiled faintly. He knew that this plan was feasible to some extent. Although Shu's poison path was steep, it was not impossible to understand people.

Moreover, the Dali Kingdom at this time not only ruled Yunnan, but also ruled most of northern Myanmar and Laos in later generations. These areas were the key areas for the Shu body to enter India.

In history, the Ahong Kingdom of the Dai nationality slowly migrated to northeastern India through this road.

Those residents of Assam and Manipur who look similar to Chinese on the Internet in later generations are mostly descendants of the Ahong Kingdom.

The condition these guys put forward was that Zhang Ting agreed to take away some Dali warriors and thousands of sets of iron and leather armor, and at the same time reward some brocade silk, salt, sugar and tea.

Zhang Tie closed his eyes and thought about it. According to Jinyi's personal guard's knowledge, the supply stations and road conditions along the Shushen Poison Road can allow up to 1000 people to pass within two months.

If you want to migrate tens of thousands of people at one time like the Dai people who migrated out to establish the Ahong Kingdom in history, you need to travel all the way and settle down all the way, and finally it will take several years to reach the destination.

This is also the reason why the Azali sect and the Tianzhu fan monks wrote letters to him. The time is too long. It is very likely that Dali has already perished before they have migrated many people, so they must get Zhang Tie's permission.

It's not that I can't agree. After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie came to this conclusion.

The Azhal faction is indeed a thorny issue, but this kind of religious conflict cannot be resolved for decades unless it is massacred.

Now that the Azali faction is willing to send away the core believers, it is also a good thing.

After they left, a group of people from the 21 Hei Cuan tribes in eastern Yunnan would be filled in, and a group of Han people would just move in the vacancies left by the 21 Hei Cuan tribes.

However, the original Han clan in the Nanzhong area can be moved to Yangjumei City and Shanchan Mansion to defend Zhang Xiancun.

So, after basically thinking about it, Zhang Tie immediately summoned Chaozhong Zaifu and various Zhaowu bachelors, and asked them to make their own ideas into plans.

. . . . .

In ancient times, salt was a very special precious item with a small amount and a high price.

And in this era, no matter whether it is a big family or a small door, they generally do not hoard a large amount of salt. It is expensive on the one hand, and more importantly, it is not easy to store this stuff.

Generally, household salt storage is mostly sealed in clay pots, but there are also a few pots, and it is impossible to use all of them for salt, and the amount used is small, so it is not cost-effective to buy too much at once.

Therefore, in ancient times, only salt farms and official warehouses were able to store salt on a large scale.

This is due to the fact that in ancient times, table salt was expensive and difficult to store, which made large-scale dumping possible.

In later generations, a pack of salt worth a few dollars would turn dumping into a dream, and it would be time to use rumors to trigger a run.

In the eighth year of Shaoming, 953 of the Convention, at the beginning of July, the residents of Yangjumei City were already waiting for the dark, and the young and healthy women of each family were also holding prepared bottles and jars.

Everyone had a mysterious look on their faces, because they all received a message by coincidence.

A very mysterious but powerful man obtained a batch of refined salt. In order to accumulate virtue for his seriously ill mother, he was willing to sell it to poor people in the country at less than [-]% of the official salt price.

Of course, this is private salt, and it must be hidden from people, so it will only be sold after dark.

At this time, Yangjumei City and surrounding towns are still in a power vacuum, because King Duan Sicong, Qingping official Gao Fang, etc. have already gone to Shanchan Mansion, which allows Jinyi's personal guards to calmly buy and infiltrate.

More importantly, with the silent support of the middle and upper-level monks and officials of the Azhali Sect, this plan can be implemented more perfectly.

Therefore, the people of Yangjumei City bought a lot of salt very cheaply for the first time in the dark light.

Every household exchanged the money (shell coins) they could come up with for precious salt that filled all the bottles and jars.

At the same time, the rich families and caravan merchants who obtained a large amount of cheap salt from temples and other channels and then sold them also made a lot of money.

It's just that all the money they got was shellfish.

However, seven or eight days later, a horrifying scene came, almost overnight, like a tsunami of slightly inferior shellfish flooded into Yangjubai city overwhelmingly.

There are even people who don't know where they come from, and use these shell coins to buy rice grains that are necessary for life.

Within three days, they wiped out all the grain stores in Yangjumei City. At the beginning, local rich people took the opportunity to sell old grains, but as they sold them, they found that the other party's shell coins were almost endless, so much that they All a little flustered.

The price of grain in the market started to roar to a high point, and the common people had just bought a lot of salt, and basically didn't have much money left to buy grain, but the price of grain had soared to the point where they couldn't understand it.

The money that could have bought ten days of food could only buy one meal now, and panic began to spread everywhere, quickly impacting a large number of rich and wealthy businessmen from small businesses.

Everyone's property is experiencing inexplicable depreciation, which can only be divided into more and less depreciation.

Ten days later, no one in Yangjubaa City dared to accept shellfish.

After returning to barter, the big clan who had hoarded grain actually offered a price that was almost robbery for one catty of salt for two catties of grain.

As a result, the boiling public sentiment began to expand rapidly with the help of caring people, and soon there was a storm of rice grabbing in Yangjumei City and surrounding towns.

Duan Sicong rushed back to Yangjubaa city in a hurry, he wanted to use the official warehouse to stabilize food prices.

Although the food in the official warehouse is basically only enough to support the army for another half a year, if it is released, the army will be in trouble, but Duan Sicong has no choice.

If the price of food cannot be suppressed now, troubles will arise immediately, and troubles will happen in Yangjubaa city before the army makes troubles.

But before he started to release food, the news spread to the frontline army. The army was dissatisfied with the long-term enlistment, and the wind and rain quickly started spreading. Jumei City prevents Duan Sicong from releasing food.

If the soldiers can be saved, the people cannot be saved, and if the people are saved, the army is likely to mutiny.

And it won't last long. Once the families of soldiers and officers start writing and crying, the morale of the army will no longer be used.

Now, Gao Fang had two choices.

Either send troops back to Yangjumei City to implement military control, and find out who is behind the trouble, but in this way, the front line may not be able to support it.

Or, as Dong Sankuo said, before the state of Zhou increases its troops and the morale of the army has not yet collapsed, make a one-shot deal-attack the fortress of the Zhou army in Wumeng Mountain outside the city.

. . . .

In the eighth year of Shaoming, in 953 of the Covenant, at the end of July, the actual ruler of Dali Kingdom, the Qingping official Gao Fang, served the soldiers, and then he was appointed to make a wish, and a total of 5000 people from the army of the three cities were gathered in Changcheng County (Haoming) .

They raised their flags and went down the Niulan River to rush to attack Awang, a small town outside Wumeng Mountain where the Zhou army was heavily packed.

Gao Fang is still a bit of a standard, knowing that to attack the fort built by Guo Rong is undoubtedly to die.

And he rushed to attack the Zhou army's luggage by surprise, and it might have an unexpected effect. As long as the Zhou army's luggage is destroyed, they will not be able to stay in Wumeng Mountain.

This really caught Guo Rong by surprise. Although Zhou Jun watched the frequent mobilization of the Dali army from the mountain, he also knew that the direction was Changcheng County.

But Guo Rong really didn't expect Gao Fang to be so courageous and gambler. Instead of attacking Wumeng Mountain, he went out of the Niulan River to attack Awang.

However, Guo Rong is still the master of great talent and strategy in history. Although he did not expect Gao Fang to be so reckless, his defense against Awang has never stopped.

In mid-August, the Dali army arrived outside the city of Ngawang, and after only one night's rest, they began to attack the small town from land and water.

It's just that the original small fence in Awang City has been turned into an earthen wall by the Zhou army over the past year. The Zhou army guarding it is not the [-] calculated by Gao Fang, but a full [-].

After a day of bloody battle between the two sides, the Dali army made no progress, but instead suffered heavy casualties. It was also unlucky for Gao Fang, who led his army to besiege Awang City within two days, when another Zhou army came head-on.

This Zhou army was the [-] regrettable Shandu soldiers led by Zhang Tiezhong and Zhang Cheng, the barbarian bears, specially ordered by Zhang Teng after Murong Xinchang's Eastern Expedition ended.

The Dali army bumped into the most elite army in this week, even though it was eight times stronger than Regret Shandu, they were beaten back again and again as soon as they fought, and the barbarian even went into battle with a Mo knife to kill.

And Yuhou, the garrison of Awang City, was Zhang Liechao, the little black bear, the son of the barbarian bear. When he saw his father arrived and went into battle in person, he was immediately encouraged and led [-] elite soldiers to fight out from the city.

The father and son attacked from left to right, and the Dali former army couldn't resist and retreated directly.

Gao Fang was in a hurry, and immediately ordered his eldest son to lead the Chinese army to support them. The two sides fought until dusk, and the Dali army had thousands of casualties.

This battle made Dali clearly aware of the strength of the Zhou army. Gao Fang could only order the army to set up a camp before making plans.

But God will not give him this chance. On the seventh day of August, Guo Rong, who returned with [-] cavalry, launched a surprise attack in the early morning.

The Dali army camped by the Niulan River was caught off guard and was knocked into the camp by the cavalry of the Zhou army in their sleep. Man Xiong and his son and Zhang Cheng also came from Awang City to help.

In less than an hour of the battle, more than 7 people led by the Dali Army Company were directly defeated, thousands were killed, and more than [-] died when they threw themselves into the Niulan River in panic, and most of the rest were captured.

In a panic, Gao Fang and his son led hundreds of people to escape by taking small roads over mountains and ridges. They were finally caught by Wen Zhong, who led an elite soldier to pursue him. Gao Fang killed himself with a sword at the last moment, and the rest surrendered.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, the vanguard of the Zhou army arrived outside Shanchan Mansion (Kunming), and the remaining generals, persuaded by Dong Sankuo, directly surrendered in Kaesong.

At the same time, Yin Yaozi received reinforcements from a [-]-strong army led by Fu Yanqing on the banks of the Jinsha River, and then directly began to forcibly cross the river. Under the guidance of the warship, more than [-] elite Zhou troops quickly crossed the river and stormed Dukou City.

The Dali army defending the city was terrified by the momentum of the Zhou army crossing the river. It never occurred to them that they would dare to cross the Jinsha River with only this kind of slender warship.

Caught off guard, the Dali army didn't even have the courage to defend the beach. The siege battle broke down in less than half a day, and thousands of soldiers surrendered one after another.

On August 22, Guo Rong led an army of [-] to Shisang County (Chuxiong), and the defenders in the city surrendered without a fight.

Then the army of Yinyaozi also went south from the north. After the two armies converged, a total of [-] troops arrived in Jinyang Jubai City (Dali) in three routes.
