Chapter 398 Stirring the world with a corner

He Huan endured it for a long time before continuing: "Seeing that this child's wings are hardened, he is going against the sky! Dad also frowned, and divided into the main fighting group and the main peace group.

The main peace faction still thinks that in such a small place, a group of savage children are fighting, and we adults should not intervene.

But the main combat faction thinks that if this bear boy is allowed to go, other children will follow him and become disobedient, and the southwestern border will collapse across the board. "

Everyone nodded, "It makes sense!"

"In short, after arguing and arguing, I finally decided: if the child is disobedient, hit him!"

"Began the famous three expeditions to Luchuan."

After He Huan talked about the three campaigns to Luchuan, everyone realized that war is not as simple as beating children, the common people are the worst!
"The Ming army conquered Luchuan three times in nine years, mobilized millions of troops, and exhausted the strength of the entire southern part of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, Si Renfa was captured alive. The Qianhu Wangzheng of Yunzhou escorted him to the capital.

Si Renfa knew that he would be humiliated if he went to the capital, so he went on a hunger strike, seeing that he was about to die, Wang Zhengxiao sent his head to the capital for hanging. "

"So cruel."

"The three expeditions to Luchuan have finally come to an end, and the hanging head also shows the strong military strength and influence of the Ming Dynasty, which shocked the chieftain on the border of Yunzhou.

But not an outright victory.There was also a fourth time when there was no fight. After Si Renfa died, his eldest son Sijifa also died in battle, and all tribes supported Si Renfa's youngest son Silufa as king.

Why did these tribes still not submit to the Ming Dynasty but support the Si family?It's because of what we just said, where the blades of the Ming army went, the soldiers and civilians hacked together. "

Everyone nodded. The wars in the past were really cruel, and there was no saying that it would not hurt the people.

"The Ming army went out again. But it was really exhausting. After fighting for nine years, I felt lonely. It looked like a brat. After fighting for nine years, I couldn't be defeated. Why?
To Daming, he is just a disobedient child.But for Yunzhou, he is the big brother.As we said, the big brother is sometimes more effective than the father.

Brothers, we are similar in every way. Dad, there is a generation gap, and we are far away. A group of wild children are despised by the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, so we don't care about you.The brothers rode elephants and played war games together all day long. "

"You listen to your brother, not necessarily to your father. Ming Dynasty also discovered that this kid's wings are too hard, and the more he fights, the more rebellious he becomes.

Because the rebellion of the people has been aroused. If you kill one, they will support another.There is no way to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so I don't want to fight anymore.

Sishi was also beaten to pieces, and she was a little afraid of her father.In the end, the two armies separated the Dajinsha River by standing stones as a boundary, and made an oath: If the stone is rotten and the river is dry, Ernai will have to cross. "

"The Great Jinsha River is the Dulong River, as it was called in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It also flows to Myanmar and becomes the Irrawaddy River."

The tourists nodded and increased their knowledge of geography and history.

"So far, the Three Expeditions to Luchuan is over. After the war, the soldiers in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places suffered heavy casualties, and the guards were empty. Because of the frequent wars in Yunzhou, the price of rice soared, and many people starved to death. It can be said that they paid a heavy price."

Everyone was silent. Although Xiao Bailong spoke very humorously, war is cruel.

"The more serious consequences are still to come. The nine-year war exhausted the manpower and financial resources of the south, extorted and extorted money, and caused the Miao people to revolt.

During the three expeditions to Luchuan, Sirenfa was captured by Burma. The Ming Dynasty promised to give the Si family's land to Myanmar, so they donated Sirenfa.Therefore, the relationship between the surrounding ethnic groups has also become very complicated, full of hatred and constant wars.

This is exactly what Liu Qiu, the advocate of peace, said, subtracting one Luchuan and giving birth to two Luchuan.After the Si family retreated from Ruili, the Ming Dynasty and the Taungoo Dynasty of Myanmar centered on Ruili and competed for the control of various Dai chieftains, and the Ming-Myanmar War broke out.

The Si family retreated to Burma and was finally destroyed by the Toungoo Dynasty, 40 years before the Ming Dynasty's demise.The Luchuan Kingdom can be said to have accompanied the entire Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years! "

"It's really falling in love and killing each other!"

He Huan said: "Moreover, 200 years after Burma presented the Si Ren method, it also offered Emperor Yongli."

A tourist said with emotion: "It's a sacrifice!"

"That's right!" He Huan said, "The Anshi Rebellion broke out in the second year after the Tang Dynasty conquered Nanzhao, and the Civil Fortress Revolution broke out in the second year after the Ming Dynasty conquered Luchuan.

This is all due to the large-scale use of troops in the southwest, resulting in the emptiness of the treasury and the emptiness of the military camps.Both the Tang and Ming dynasties turned from prosperity to decline due to the Southern Expedition.Therefore, the history of the Ming Dynasty called the Battle of Luchuan—a commotion in the world with a corner.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing-Myanmar War broke out several times.Later, Myanmar became a British colony and signed a border treaty with the Qing Dynasty.Many of our lands were lost at that time. "

Everyone is silent.

"It is the lessons of war and peace, blood and tears in the southwestern border areas of the past dynasties that lead to today's ethnic friendship policy."

Tourists nod.

"National boundaries are generally divided by two boundaries: geography and humanities. The most common is geography, with rivers and mountains as the boundary. According to humanities, the same ethnic group is divided into the same country.

Yunzhou is connected to the mountains and rivers of Southeast Asia and South Asia, and Ruili borders Myanmar on three sides. At first, the Ruili River was the boundary river.

But the continuous infiltration and friction between the two parties in the past dynasties has resulted in the fact that they are neither divided according to geography nor humanities.

A field ridge and a stockade are all dividing lines, and such a long and criss-crossed dividing line also seems to be very special. "

He Huan opened the map on his mobile phone and showed the tourists the criss-crossed dividing line.

"This is where we are going now." He Huan pointed to a point on the map, "Did you see that? The boundary line is concave toward us. Our side is called Yinjing, and the opposite side is called Mangxiu. The same village is divided into Two countries were separated, forming a spectacle of two countries in one village."

"what!"

He Huan took them to the two countries of Yizhai and told them the historical reasons for the formation of the two countries along the way.

"When I found out that this stockade is on the national border, the national border has already been drawn. The important affairs of the country should not be changed without authorization. So the same village is not the same country."

"Pity!"

After arriving in the two countries, it has become a tourist attraction and a spectacle, but the people in the same village belong to different countries, and the feelings are still very complicated.

"Although the nationalities are different, because of the same origin, the same language and the same customs, the two sides still communicate as usual. We are not allowed to cross the border at will, but they can.

The relationship between the two sides is also very deep.Because our development is better, many children across the street come to our school to go to school. They are international students at a young age. They go abroad for school and return to China after school. "

The stockade has beautiful scenery and strong ethnic customs. There are yellow dividing lines everywhere and warning signs reminding tourists not to cross.The spectacle is also sad.

Yesterday everyone felt that human beings are very small in front of nature.Now in front of the country, I once again feel the insignificance of human beings.

This is the consequence of deep swimming again!
He Huan looked at them. The other tourists were all curious.But the little white dragon group knew the historical reasons, so they couldn't check in and take pictures as if they were curious.

He simply took them away, "One village and two countries form a boundary line that is recessed towards us, but intimate contact does not belong to us. And now we are going to Jiegao port."

He Huan opened the map, "It means that our country protrudes across the river to the opposite side, and has close contact with the opposite side. The opposite side is Muse of Myanmar."

When you arrive at the Jiegao Port, if there are no mighty border guards, you still don’t feel that these are two countries at all. You can see Mujie on the opposite side through the country gate.

I don't feel that it's protruding, I just feel that it's the same as the one village and two countries that just concaved in, and they are originally one.

You already know that in history, this is oneness.In history, it has been continuously divided into the current boundaries.

Isn't it another form of Xiluchuandi?

"Let's go! Let's go to Wanding, which is the last stop of our country on the Burma Road."

Ruili is not big, so follow along and you will be there in a while, and Wanding is even smaller.

"Then the Wanding Bridge." He Huan pointed to the bridge inside the Wanding Port, "It was built when the Burma Road was being built. This is where the anti-war materials entered our country, and this is where the expeditionary forces entered Myanmar. It drove the invaders out. It is now the border river bridge between the two countries."

Wanding, because it is on the boundary river, everyone feels much more comfortable with this geographical division.

However, because it is a border bridge, it is impossible to actually cross the bridge. There are railings in the middle of the bridge that prohibit crossing, and there are border guards guarding it.

Let's just look at the foreign countries that are close at hand from the bridge.The houses, roads, cars and pedestrians on the opposite side are all clear at a glance.

Many tourists ran to the railing to take pictures.

No one in the Little White Dragon Group took pictures.When you really understand the history and culture of a place, you don't have the desire to check in and take pictures at every point.

After walking all morning, He Huan took them to a Dai village for a meal of hot and sour Dai dishes, and everyone was full of energy again.

Just watching the peacock dance in the stockade, a man in a gorgeous plumage came to the stage.

The tourists were amazed, "The peacock dance is actually performed by men!"

He Huan said: "Because the male peacock has gorgeous wings, the male peacock can open its tail! In nature, males are beautiful, sing and dance, and win the favor of the opposite sex! So we men, don't give up on yourself!"

The tourists smiled and pushed him, "Then you go up and jump!"

I really don't know how to dance this kind of dance, so He Huan sat on the stool.

Elephant foot drums combined with peacock dance, the vigorous singing and dancing are not as soft as everyone's impression.But it is precisely because of this that I feel the strong character of this nation.

In the afternoon, feel the customs of the Dai people in the stockade. The current customs of the Dai people are singing and dancing.It seems that they have always been like this, only like this.This is also what most tourists feel.

But what the little white dragon group felt was different after all.

Ruili is really small, and I finished shopping in one day.

In the evening, He Huan took them to the Shwedagon Pagoda, "The history of the construction of the Shwedagon Pagoda is a secret. The only record is that when the pagoda was cleaned in the 80s, a gold and silver rubbing was found. It was written in Dai that the pagoda was rebuilt in 1756. It was the reign of Qianlong.

And when was it first built?There are only legends.It is said that when the princess of Guozhanbi Kingdom was pregnant, she was very afraid of the cold.One day, the princess went to the balcony to bask in the sun and fell asleep covered with a gorgeous red silk quilt.

A golden eagle circling in the air looking for food saw a blood-red object on the balcony, so it swooped down and took the princess away. It flew to a remote forest, where it stopped on a tall kapok tree, ready to have a feast. pause.

After the princess woke up, she roared wildly, and the golden eagle flew away in fright.However, the kapok tree was too tall, and the princess could not go down to the ground, so she had to pick wild flowers and fruits from the tree to satisfy her hunger, and soon gave birth to a son on the tree.

Later, an elder passed by the tree and found someone on it, so he cut off the branches to make a ladder and rescued the mother and child.The princess asked the elders: How long does it take to get to Guozhanbi Kingdom from here?

The elder said it would take a long time, so the princess had to live with the elder. "

Everyone laughed, "This must not be Elder Tang!"

"They named the child Hunxiang Wu, which means Mr. Fulu! Mr. Fulu grew up to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and the gods gave him a very magical Qinqin.

As long as the piano is played, the wild elephants living in the forest will follow the rhythm of the song and gather around Mr. Fulu to obey his command.

With the help of a herd of elephants, Mr. Fulu returned to Ruili, the capital of Guozhanbi Kingdom.At this time, the father had passed away, the tribes killed each other, and the people withered.

Master Fulu summoned elephants to unite the scattered tribes into a powerful tribal alliance, ended the chaos, and established the Damengmao Kingdom with Leiyun as its capital, which is a village in Ruili today.

Prince Fulu also changed his name to Chaowuding.Edict..."

He Huan looked at the tourists, and the tourists immediately replied: "Your Majesty! Chief!"

He Huan smiled, and the tourists also felt that they had answered the teacher's knowledge points and were very happy.

"Ding comes from the Qinqin. Zhao Wuding means the mighty King of the Qin!" He Huan continued, "After Zhao Wuding established the country, he implemented five unifications: the unification of tribes, the unification of language and writing, the unification of laws and regulations, and the measurement and calendar. Unity, unity of religious belief.

The Kingdom of Guozhanbi became stronger from this.According to legend, this tower was built by Zhao Wuding.This story is also circulated in the Shan State of Myanmar.Shan is the name of the Dai people in Myanmar. "

"So it can be seen that they have a common history and ancestors. Looking at the time is also after the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Central Plains is in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This legend is also reflected in the side. After Ailao returned to the Han Dynasty, with the end of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains fell into civil strife, and there was no time to take care of Yunzhou. The Dai people established a country in Ruili.

Guozhanbi Kingdom, because it has no relationship with the Central Plains, is even more mysterious.But in the next 1000 years, the Luchuan Kingdom was born in Ruili.This is very old.It can also be seen that the Dai people migrated to the south.

In addition to Banna, the Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Dehong is also the Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture.So in addition to Banna, here is also a place with a very Dai style. "

He Huan asked the tourists to take off their shoes and took everyone into this magnificent pagoda.

"Buddhism is a very adaptable religion. Unlike other religions, gods and saints hardly change. When Buddhism spread to the Central Plains, it merged with Confucianism and Taoism. When it spread to Tibet, it merged with Bon religion.

When it was passed to Yunzhou, it was connected with the mythical figures in the history of Yunzhou.Because it is connected with the ancestors of the local people, it becomes easier to spread.

The Dai language was also born with the introduction of Buddhism, which originated from the Indian Brahmi language.Before, the Dai people only had language, but no writing.

It was for the purpose of spreading Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures that the Dai language was created.With the Dai language, many of the histories recorded by them have something to do with Buddhism.

Therefore, Buddhism and temples have assumed the role of education and schools in Dai areas. "

He Huan explained Theravada Buddhism and its inextricable relationship with the Dai people.

"It's no wonder that a religion that teaches them characters will become a religion that the whole people believe in. The Guozhanbi Kingdom of Zhaowuding is speculated to be in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty.But before the Western Han Dynasty, Ailao Kingdom already had the poisonous way of Shu.Therefore, Buddhism also evolved into Theravada Buddhism through the Tao of Shushen Poison, and was introduced to Yunzhou in my country. "

In the hall, several Dai women bowed down piously.

Everyone also paid homage to this Buddhist temple that was built at an unknown time.

Coming out of the golden pagoda, the evening wind blows, the bells on the golden pagoda are jingling, and the Buddha's voice is sent far away.The sunset shrouded the Shwedagon Pagoda, making it even more resplendent, and Dai women in bright tube skirts walked down the golden steps barefoot.

At this moment, everyone stood still, feeling like they were standing in an ancient time.

Jie Jie Wang, who has always been playful, said: "I found that it is also good to have faith."

He Huan nodded, "When there was no history, we only had myths and legends. But aren't myths and legends history?
We're here now, and we didn't just appear out of thin air.It took millions of years to stand here. "

A group of people looked at the border town shrouded in the setting sun. Although their lives were only a few decades, their bodies were filled with millions of years of blood.

The sunset is still very beautiful, and the border towns in the mountains can't wait to light up the lights, and the lights in Myanmar on the opposite side are also lit up, and the pagodas are everywhere, resplendent and resplendent.

Jewelry and solemnity, exotic customs and various languages ​​meet here.

After taking everyone to dinner, He Huan led the group of shopkeepers straight to the jewelry night market.
