Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 860 We Are All Han Chinese

Dong Mohe strutted into the royal palace at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in Yangjumei City.

The nave of the palace is the place where Dali Kingdom handles political affairs and receives envoys.

But today's nave doesn't have any majesty and majesty in the past, but is full of desolation.

The guards and maids in various colors who were standing in the nave were gone, only a few members of the Duan clan surrounded Duan Sicong at a loss.

Dali is a country that is not outstanding in Chinese history at all. It is not even as famous as Dali in later generations. At least Dali is still a famous tourist attraction in the country.

But in fact, in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the Dali Kingdom was in Tiannan, but it was very beautiful and powerful.

At this time, after the decline of the Tang Dynasty, it was Dali who inherited the majesty of the Tang Dynasty in Southeast Asia, or continued to support the dominance of the northern dynasty in the Indo-China Peninsula after the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Dali's territory directly included a small part of northern Myanmar and northeastern India in later generations, plus almost all of Laos, and occupied Jiaozhi many times.

The rest of the Indochina Peninsula countries, such as the Pyu Kingdom in Myanmar and the Niuhouman in Vietnam, are all vassals of Dali, and they pay tribute to golden rhinoceros and elephants every year.

Dali's army is not incapable of fighting. In history, after the fall of Dali in the Yuan Dynasty, it still chose to continue to rely on Dali's army to control a small country in the Indochina Peninsula, which shows that its combat effectiveness is not low.

Therefore, the Dali Kingdom in history was actually a powerful country that lived in Yunnan and overlooked the Indochina Peninsula. However, compared with the country in the Central Plains, their strength was still a little weaker.

In the nave, the Duan clan saw that Dong Mohe walked in without any shame and no guilt, and immediately roared and cursed.

Dong Mohe didn't care at all, completely ignoring the scolding of Duan's clan members.

The fact that he wasn't chopped into a pulp by the guards called by these people the first time he came in meant that they were simply bluffing and no one dared to kill him.

Therefore, Dong Mahe went straight to Duan Sicong and asked, "The king wants to leave? Fight?"

Duan Sicong has just turned 30 years old this year, and he also suffered hardships when he was a child.

When his uncle Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali, was chased and killed by Yang Ganzhen, he had no choice but to run away. As Duan Siping's nephew, Duan Sicong's family was also in a difficult situation.

Generally speaking, there will be two situations for this kind of monarch who suffered as a child and reached the top of tens of millions when he grew up.

One is that I have experienced hardships, so I know the sufferings of the people and the various conditions of the market, and I am not easy to be fooled by the people below, so I can become a generation of Mingjun. The representative is Liu Bingji, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

And the other kind is that when he was young, he was afraid of poverty and suffering, and when he grew up, his mentality was distorted, he didn't care much about other things, and he didn't care too much about things. He only cared about whether he could enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas, wine and beauties.

Duan Sicong is such a typical example.

So the two options of fighting or going are not in Duan Sicong's options at all.

How to go?
Should we go to Anxi City (Menggong in Kachin State) or Jinbao City (Myitkyina) in Lishui Jiedushi?

What are you doing there?Do you see the boa constrictor baring its teeth?
war?What a fart!
Gao Fang basically buried the elites of the whole country, and all the places are watching the wind and surrendering. Now that the thousand forbidden troops in the palace can still fight, can 1000 people beat the [-] Zhou army?
Duan Sicong didn't know how to answer, and couldn't make a choice, so he just kept silent.

When Dong Mohe saw his expression, he understood in his heart, and his face became serious.

Can't laugh at this meeting, Duan Sicong just can't hold back his face, so I have to give him a step at this time.

"In Yichen's opinion, neither walking nor fighting is the best choice.

Because although the emperor conquered the Dali Kingdom, it was not because of any enmity with the king, but for the sake of the world.

At this moment, the Zhou army has just passed Shisang County (Chuxiong), and they will not reach the outside of the city until the next day. If the king does not want to surrender with the sheep, why not close the treasury, open the city gate, and send someone to surrender to the Duke of Dian? . "

As soon as Dong Mohe's words fell, before Duan Sicong said anything, a member of the Duan family rushed up, grabbed Dong Mohe's collar and shouted loudly:

"What is the whole world, when did my land in the south of the sky become part of the Jinou of the Central Plains?
You lowly slave, your uncles and nephews colluded together, first buried [-] troops, then sold Shanchan Mansion and Shisang County, and now you come to persuade the Lord to surrender to others, you still have to show some shame! "

Dong Mohe was furious, he wanted to be A Zhali's person, and he had been on missions everywhere, and he was particular about sharp teeth, so he also grabbed the Duan clan's family member and cursed:
"Old thief slave, are you still out of your mind? Since King Dian of Zhuang Yu, since when is the land in the south of the sky not one of Jin Ou?

Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land, is it the king's ministers, do you understand?

Your Duan Clan, your ancestor is Duan Jiming, one of the Three Mings of Liangzhou, and today you are the King of Tiannan, don't you recognize your ancestor?
He also said that I am shameless, so you are the most shameless person! "

Duan Jiming is Duan Jiong, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ji Ming is his name.

At this time, the high-level people in Dali and even the entire white ethnic group actually had a Han ancestor.

The ancestor of the Duan family was Duan Jiong, and Duan Siping, the founding king, claimed to be the seventeenth grandson of Duan Jiong.

The Gao family claimed to be the descendants of Ji Hannan's Han people, and their ancestors could be considered celebrities, that is, Ji Han General Gao Xiang.

It is rumored that after he settled Nanzhong with Zhuge Liang, he left a branch of descendants here, and finally developed into the Dali Gao family.

It's hard to say whether it's true or not, it may be true or it may be false, but that's what people think. If Duan Jiong knows, he will definitely admit that the Dali Duan family is his descendant.

Not only them, but the white tribes below, large and small, have a famous ancestor of the Han people who can barely be traced, and those who can't be traced are said to be the descendants of the Chu nobles of King Zhuangyu in Dian.

As for the Dong family, the ins and outs are more clear. Their ancestor Dong Cheng was exiled to Nanzhao during the Tang Xuanzong period, and was appointed as an official by the king of Nanzhao. Then the descendants began to spread, and thus formed the Dali Dong family.

Therefore, Dong Mahe's words are completely tenable, not only tenable, but also very reasonable. They immediately occupied the commanding heights of morality and made the words of the Duan clan who grabbed his collar dumb. speechless.

Then, Dong Mahe used his trump card, "Your Majesty, you should know that the reason why you can surrender and receive preferential treatment is entirely because you are the Lord of Dali.

But don't forget, Your Majesty, there are still people in Chongsheng Temple!
Of course some people can persuade the king to resist, because they have other options, does the king have any? "

The person in Chongsheng Temple is Duan Sicong's cousin Duan Siying.

The throne under Duan Sicong's ass was originally owned by his cousin Duan Siying, but was snatched by his father Duan Siliang.

To be honest, their father and son are just usurpers and traitors, and Duan Siying, who was forced to become a monk in Chongsheng Temple, is the real king of Dali.

Duan Sicong was startled, the sweat rolled down his forehead, he stood up abruptly, pushed the old Duan family member who was holding Dong Mohe's collar to the ground, and then He held Dong Mahe's arm and asked:

"It's not a small crime for me to rise up against the Heavenly Dynasty. How can the Emperor of the Great Dynasty tolerate me?"

Duan Sicong asked if he could be tolerated, not just to save his life, but whether he could keep his wealth. It would be even better if he could be like Li Jing.

Dong Moha had already received Zhang Xiancun's promise, and immediately held Duan Sicong's arm to persuade him:
"The great king's ancestors are from Chengtian Liangzhou Prefecture, and he is from the same hometown as the saint. If he is not king in Tiannan, he should be a member of Helong Xunchen.

Now there are countless honorable ministers in Liangzhou in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the king treats them generously, will he still worry about being rich and happy? "

Then, Dong Mohe said to Duan Sicong in a low voice: "When the minister came, the Duke of Dian had already said that as long as the king leaves the complete city of Yangjubaa to him, then the king can take away [-]% of the treasures in the treasury." .

On the other side of the court, a reward has been negotiated for the king, the Marquis of Yongchang. "

Duan Sicong lowered his head and sighed, he was just a marquis, but who told him to resist before, and he has lost the ability to resist at this time.

But fortunately, he can take away 20% of the wealth, which is almost more than [-] guan. If he doesn't need to support the clan, the thirty or so members of his own family can still be rich in Luoyang, the capital of gods.

Dong Mohe seemed to know what Duan Sicong was thinking, and whispered in Duan Sicong's ear, "Don't worry, my lord, we white people of Dian Kingdom are still of great use, and they won't go to the capital of God."

For sure, Dali itself has 20 million people, and the core whites do not exceed 35 in total. The Azali faction will take away tens of thousands of young men if they want to go to Tianzhu.

If the Duan clan moved away on a large scale, there would still be a few people left. Of course, Zhang Xiancun would not let the Duan clan go.

. . . .

In the eighth year of Shaoming, 953 A.D., on the ninth day of September, on the Double Ninth Festival, Zhang Xiancun, surrounded by famous ministers and generals such as Yin Yaozi, Barbarian Bear Zhang Zhaozhong, Zhang Cheng, Guo Rong, and Zhang Fei, came to the outside of Yangjubaa city. .

At this time, the [-] army had completely occupied Yangjubai City and the surrounding small cities such as Yunnan, Dali, and Pindan.

The 赕 means offering. In the Azali Sect, it refers to ordinary people worshiping the Buddha. Therefore, there is a big temple in every 赕, and the religious atmosphere is very strong.

Zhang Xiancun frowned in displeasure, but when he thought that the disciples of the Azhali Sect were about to go to Tianzhu, his complexion improved a little.

Yin Yaozi thought that Zhang Xiancun was dissatisfied with the Azhali faction taking people away, he lightly cupped his hands and said to Zhang Xiancun with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's a good thing that these people have gone to Tianzhu.

They opened up the poisonous path in Shushen for us, and settled down in Tianzhu. Don’t you think we’ll do it ourselves.

When His Royal Highness reaches the age of a saint in 30 or [-] years, he can send troops to destroy the country and extend the territory of Dali to Tianzhu.

In this way, the descendants of His Royal Highness will have a place to spread their branches and leaves to continue to feud the country and build the country. "

"Hahahaha!" The people present were all cruel and shameless killers, unlike the 19-year-old Zhang Xiancun, who was a little innocent, and they all burst out laughing with sympathy.

Zhang Xiancun was shocked, and then his eyes glowed, as if a door to a new world had opened.

Amidst the laughter, Yin Yaozi walked a few steps slowly, and slowly approached Guo Rong, "Mr. Da Lang can't control this great country in the south of the sky. The saint asked a certain family to ask you if you would like to be the country's prime minister here for a few years." ?”

Guo Rong's eyes were suddenly wet. He knew that the saint was thinking that he had stayed in Nanxi Mansion for four years and missed many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, he didn't order directly, but asked a veteran like Yin Yaozi to ask him. the meaning of.

Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Rong immediately nodded, "Rong Yijie surrendered, and at the very end of his life, he received the sage's kindness, and Changsi has nothing to repay.

Now that I am so heart-to-heart, I can't repay it in ten thousand deaths, how dare I push back three times and block four things!
As long as the saint needs it, I am willing to take root here to assist Lord Dalang. "

Yin Yaozi nodded, with an envious look on his face, "Then you can write a letter, and ask your wife Liu to take Brother Yi to walk around Concubine Shu's place more."

Guo Rong is overjoyed that Concubine Shu is Zhang Xiancun's mother and aunt. Besides giving birth to Emperor Zhang's five sons, she also has a daughter, Zhang Qixin, the ten-year-old fifth daughter of the Emperor Yuyang, who is the same age as Guo Rong's eldest son Guo Zongyi. similar.

For Yin Yaozi to say this, the emperor and concubine Shu must have agreed, and it can be regarded as a compensation for Guo Rong.

Speaking of it, Guo Rong really wants to thank Zhang Bing. Without Zhang Bing, the three sons, including his wife Liu and Guo Zongyi, who had shared weal and woe with him the year before, would have been killed by Liu Chengyou.

Seeing the joy on Guo Rong's face, Yin Yaozi continued: "When the matter is settled, Brother Yi can stay in Shendu to continue his studies when the matter is settled, and let Mrs. Liu bring her children to Dali to reunite with you .”

This is really embarrassing. In fact, Guo Rong, who is a prime minister in a feudal country like this, usually wants to keep his family members in the capital as hostages. Zhang Ting agreed to let the Liu family go to Dali, which is indeed a lenient .

. . . .

Yangjumei City, outside the east gate, Duan Sicong took Dali civil servants and military generals, holding the golden seal of the King of Dali in his hand, and the waiter next to him was holding the treasure seal, household registration album, and topographic map of mountains and rivers.

They saw Zhang Xiancun in golden armor appearing in the distance, and immediately knelt down in the official road outside the city.

This is the first time for Zhang Xiancun to experience this scene. This is the lord of a country with a population of one million kneeling down to beg for surrender!
He was about to ride his horse forward excitedly, but the wild bear beside him gently pulled his rein, and then said, Your Highness, wait a moment.

At this moment, the little black bear Zhang Liechao personally led [-] fine riders, passing Duan Sicong and other Dali courtiers like a whirlwind.

He went directly into the city to take over the east gate, and after checking that nothing was wrong, he erected a silver and white flag symbolizing safety on the gate.

Then Zhang Fei personally led [-] iron cavalry into the city and began to control all parts of Yangjubaa City. After everything was stable, Zhang Fei sent his personal followers out to report, and the barbarian bear let go of the reins of Zhang Xiancun's war horse.

It was only then that Zhang Xiancun realized that he put away the joy on his face, put on a very serious look, and rode forward.

Holding the golden seal, Duan Sicong tried his best to put on a smiling face, and just wanted to say a few words, but Zhang Xiancun immediately blocked his words with a wave of his hand.

"Prince Duan please come to Beijing immediately!"

It turned out that he didn't want to say a word to Duan Sicong.

. . . .

In the eighth year of Shaoming, in 953 of the Convention, on the ninth day of September, King Duan Sicong of Dali surrendered in Yangjumei City holding a gold seal. Zhang Xiancun almost immediately asked Zhang Yongde to lead [-] horsemen to escort Duan Sicong on the road.

At the same time, dozens of Duan Sicong's wives, concubines and children were also immediately escorted to Luoyang, the capital of God.

Of course, the [-]% of the treasure that Zhang Xiancun promised Duan Sicong could take away was also brought to Duan Sicong a little later.

Not long after Zhang Xiancun entered Yangjumei City, good news came from the north. The eight Qiang soldiers from Xishan, led by Cui Huxin and Zhang Xiancun's uncle An Shouqian, finally broke through Yupai City and went south to the vicinity of Yangjumei City.

So far, Da Zhou's army in Dali has reached a terrifying 5000 people. If counting the civilian husbands and the 21 Hei Cuan tribes who surrendered in advance, there are about 13 people.

On the one hand, it is a good thing to have more troops. On the other hand, most of Dali’s food was consumed in the confrontation. It is not bad to transport food from Sichuan to one stone for ten stones.

So the lack of food means that it is impossible to maintain nearly [-] troops in Dali for a long time. If you want to quell the opponents in Dali, you must hurry up.

Although Zhang Xiancun is young, he also understands this truth. He ordered Guo Rong to set up a military affairs disposal envoy, and asked Guo Rong to bring soldiers to buy food from nearby clans and wealthy merchants.

At this time, it is the best time to hoard food. If force is not used, no one is willing to sell food at a low price.

Not to mention that the credit of Dali Beibi was almost bankrupt, and he could only use some unconventional means to buy food.

When the food matters were slightly secured, Zhang Xiancun immediately sent messengers to the Quartet, ordering
Lishui Jiedushi (Myitkyina)
Yongchang Jiedushi (Baoshan)

Jianchuan Jiedushi (Lijiang)

Yinsheng Jiedushi (Jingdong)

Tonghai Governor's Mansion (Gejiu)

These five Jiedu envoys from the outer town of Dali who have not yet been controlled, as well as the Jiedu envoys and leaders of the Black Tooth Ten Division and the Tangmo Division (Laos), quickly came to Yangjubaa City to meet.

While sending the messenger, Zhang Xiancun was ready for war.

Because these places are border areas with high mountains and dense forests far away from the political center of Dali, except for the Tonghai Governor's Mansion, there are few white people in the local area, and even if there are many white people, they may not necessarily obey him.

But fortunately, these Jiedu envoys did not have many troops, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. On the contrary, the weather was a little more worrying.

In October, out of the seven groups of envoys sent out, only two groups came back. Among them, the Black Tooth Ten Division and the Tang Mo Division may have traveled far and were difficult to travel, so they came back late.

But the rest of Tonghai Governor's Mansion, Yongchang Jiedu Envoy, and Yinsheng Jiedu Envoy refused to obey Zhang Xiancun's order, and only Lishui and Jianchuan Jiedu Envoys obeyed the order to enter the court.

So the army set off immediately. On October [-]th, Zhang Fei led [-] troops, and broke through the Yongchang Mansion (Baoshan, Yunnan Province) where the Yongchang Jiedu Envoy Office was located in the first battle.

Yongchang Jiedu made Duan Sigao flee south in a panic, Zhang Fei pursued him, and caught up with Duan Sigao in a small town called Fenglanrong (Lincang).

After World War I, Duan Sigao and more than [-] of his henchmen, regardless of whether they were willing to surrender or not, were all beheaded by Zhang Fei and thrown into the Nanding River, and the rest of the cities surrendered.

At the same time, Yin Yaozi took the initiative to ask for orders to lead the army to conquer the land under the jurisdiction of the Yinsheng Jiedu envoy.

He won three battles and three victories, first defeating Yinsheng Mansion (Jingdong), then Weiyuan City (Jinggu), and finally defeating the 2 tribal coalition forces assembled by the Yinsheng Jiedushi in Burichao (Pu'er), killing more than [-] , and the rest were captured.

Under the deterrence of this powerful force, the Yinsheng Jiedushi made all the tribes in the mountain forest and the ten black teeth tribes further south came to ask for surrender one after another.

By December, only the Tonghai Dudufu was left in Dali, which is the later city of Gejiu in Yunnan near Vietnam, and there was no surrender.
