Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 701
This big banner is very simple, commonly known as "surround the spot to fight for aid".

Now Kublai Khan's 30 troops are besieged in the Yanping area.

Moreover, Guo Jing's follow-up troops continued to rush, and the front line of the Great Wall was basically taken back by Datang.

Although it cannot reach the scale of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall of Han Dynasty has reached it.

Now Qilu, Huainan and other places have all been recovered by Datang.Today's Datang territory is like Cao Wei after the Sima family destroyed Shu.

As for the Southern Song Dynasty, there is nothing to worry about now. The Southern Song Dynasty is now restrained by another force. They have no intention of going north. This force is Dali who is ready to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Duan Siying had already sent a letter to Dali Kingdom, and Duan Yunxian personally sent it to Dali Kingdom.

Although the Gao clan of Dali Kingdom was somewhat reluctant, the strength gap between Tang and Dali could not be made up by reluctance.

The Great Tang was able to expel the invincible Mongols from the Central Plains and destroy a small country in Nanchui with just a snap of the fingers.

The most important thing is that the Gao clan was frightened by Zhuge Qingyun's previous battle against the Song Dynasty. In less than a month, they flattened more than half of Shu from Hanzhong. This speed really shocked the Gao clan.Moreover, the Gao clan also sent spy workers to wait and see during the war between the Tang and Song Dynasties, and they also saw the powerful firearms of the Tang army.

If Tang and Dali go to war, although there are many masters in Tianlong Temple, how can those masters defeat Tang's tens of thousands of troops and those mysterious firearms.

Since Datang gave face, after surrendering, they can guarantee that their family will become hereditary chieftains and be rich for generations.Then they are naturally willing to be more aware of current affairs.

However, the responses from Tianlong Temple and the Duan royal family of Dali were much more flat, including Master Yideng, the former emperor of Dali.

The royal family of Dali Kingdom advocated Buddhism, so they were not very aggressive in themselves.

And compared to the monks in the Central Plains, they are more like real monks. When they were in a layman's house, they could do everything that a layman could do.

Take Master Yideng's grandfather Duan Yu as an example, Li Qingwei is now a low profile version of Duan Yu.

Although Li Qingwei's martial arts are better than Duan Yu's back then, in terms of beauty, Li Qingwei is simply out of reach.

At most, Li Qingwei had an affair with a married woman. Although there was some suspicion of moral corruption, there was no blood relationship between the man and the woman.

But Duan Yu is different, Duan Yu's concubines, from Queen Wang Yuyan to Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, except for Xiaolei, are all his clan sisters.

Li Qingwei, no matter how beastly he is, abides by the old tradition of "no marriage of the same clan".As for Li Ninglu and Li Yuhan, although they both have the surname Li, but Li Qingwei is a descendant of the Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty, while Li Ninglu is from Khitan, and Li Yuhan is from Dangxiang. Apart from the fact that their ancestors are all loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty, they have no relationship at all.

Even so, after Wang Yuyan's death, Duan Yu abstained from becoming a monk and fulfilled his duties as an eminent monk. He only devoted himself to studying Buddhism and ignored all the worldly affairs.

The same is true for other members of the Dali royal family who became monks at Tianlong Temple. Now they have no desire for utilitarianism, struggle, and worldliness. As long as the rulers outside can benefit the people and let the people live a good life.And don't interfere with their study of Buddhism.

Who is the emperor outside, they don't care at all.

As the former emperor, Master Yideng was merciful and couldn't bear to see the war between the two countries, and the loss of life.

Moreover, the future master of Dali Kingdom still has half of the Duan family blood.

Therefore, under his strong support, the overlords and princes of Tianlong Temple all expressed their approval.Afterwards, the current emperor of Dali Kingdom was willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and become the emperor.

However, after Li Qingwei, Zhao Ke, and Duan Siying discussed with each other, Li Qingwei decided to temporarily keep the ancestral temple of the Dali Kingdom and the title of the current emperor.The next generation of Dali rulers since he started, that is, the son of Li Qingwei, is called "Dali King".

Regarding the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Qingwei also wanted to concoct it according to the law. It would be great if he could avoid swords and bloodshed and rule the world.

An ominous tool for soldiers, it must be used as a last resort.

However, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yu, has no other hopes because of his beloved daughter's distant marriage and his father's estrangement.

All day long, he is addicted to the sensuality of the harem and ignores government affairs.

Moreover, Song Ci's check-and-balance faction was missing in the Great Song Dynasty, and the balance in the court suddenly tilted, and no one could control those corrupt officials.

And without the foreign trouble of the Mongols, they naturally exploited the common people more easily.

This time Dali did not take advantage of Li Qingwei's Northern Expedition to backstab. It was not because Dali's monarchs did not want to, but because they were incapable. Because Dali fell to Li Qingwei, the border between Song and Li, which had been silent for many years, once again ignited the flames of war. "Certificate of Name".

Although the Dali Kingdom, which is controlled by the Gao clan, has not formally declared war on Song Dynasty, soldiers of the two countries occasionally have some conflicts.

But this is not a big deal. What really made the Southern Song Dynasty unable to take action were the peasant uprisings in various places.

Because there was no constraint from Qingliu forces such as Song Ci, and because the Tang Dynasty had established the Central Plains in the north, and the Southern Song Dynasty lost the foreign enemy of the Mongols, peasant uprisings broke out in many areas in the Southern Song Dynasty.

These rebels either set up their own banners, or under the banner of submitting to the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Today's Southern Song Dynasty has completely fallen into the beginning of collapse.

Even if Li Qingwei's Datang regime did not invade the south, I am afraid that Guozuo in the Southern Song Dynasty would not last for 30 years.

But right now Li Qingwei is not in the mood to meddle in the Southern Song Dynasty's business. His eyes are always on the grassland. As long as the Mongols' vitality is wiped out, the Mongol Empire will collapse.

What he wants is the disintegration of the great enemy in the north, the blossoming of the world, and the loss of the "Mongol scimitar" hanging over his head, not to bully the weak chickens of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As a result of the court discussion, although Zhuge Qingyun didn't quite agree with Li Qingwei's plan, there was nothing he could do.However, he still chose to obey. After all, their "Emperor" had shown amazing abilities at the beginning of the establishment of the Rebel Army.

Every step of his arrangement has not been missed.Although the pressure will be great, Zhuge Qingyun still chose to support their emperor at all costs.

As for where does the money come from?

Then you can only ask the rich, who has money?
There are still many temples in Taiyuan, Qilu, and some "traitor landlords" who have not had time to surrender. After Zhuge Qingyun got Li Qingwei's permission, he continued to implement the new law.

Deprive religious groups such as temples of their land and let them chant scriptures and practice meditation honestly.Don't think about it all day.

Those traitor landlords, although they have been traitors, they are all very rich.So Zhuge Qingyun asked them to "pledge donations" in order to get forgiveness from the new dynasty.

However, Zhuge Qingyun did not accept these people into the court, but only deprived them of their property, and then left them alive.

However, there are also those who risk their lives and don't give up their money. In that case, Zhuge Qingyun and Song Ci will not be polite.

Song Ci's Yushitai and the Dali Temple and Tingwei's Mansion under his command specially cooperated with the Criminal Department Yamen under the prime minister's mansion to hear these matters.Then kill them all.Confiscate their property.

Neither Song Ci nor Zhuge Qingyun had the slightest sympathy for this. No matter what the purpose of being a traitor is, they are not worthy of sympathy.

If they didn't "revolt" in time and defected to the new dynasty, they were stupid and couldn't see the current situation clearly.

This world is like this, good people will not die, bad people may not necessarily die, but stupid people must die.
