The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 303 Dali Duan Family

"Junshi. You inform Yin Yinglei, the commander of the Lin'an Military Region. Order him to draw [-] experienced veterans and [-] recruits from the Lin'an Military Region. It is best to be able to swim. Five thousand soldiers are on standby at any time. Once Li Aiqing The navy led by him captured Okinawa Island, and immediately sent troops to the east. Together with the left behind personnel of the navy, they formed a joint land and water force with a number of about [-] people. They stationed on the island. Okinawa was used as a base to occupy the entire Ryukyu Islands. I want the Ryukyu Islands to become a special province of my dynasty overseas."

Lu Xiufu said: "Yes. Your Majesty. I obey the order."

"Li Aiqing. I don't understand water warfare. Of course I don't know how to command blindly. You are fully responsible for the battle to wipe out the pirate Zhang Xuan and capture Okinawa."

Li Beiyang said resolutely: "Yes. Your Majesty. The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

"Okay. Li Aiqing. You should go back and prepare earlier. Ouyang Jianqing. The opportunity for actual combat this time is not easy. It's good to learn."

"Yes. The ministers understand. The ministers take their leave."

compared to last year.There are many fewer officials going to Jia's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.However, Jia Sidao was still overwhelmed.There is one more big change.It is this year's Jia Taishi who seems to be low-key.Anyone who comes to pay New Year's greetings.Jia Sidao tried his best to spare time to meet him in person.Even if it's just a small greeting.Not like last year.Many New Year callers didn't even get to meet the Grand Master.After leaving the gift, he was invited out of the house by Jia Xuan and other people in the mansion.

Liao Yingzhong, the Fan brothers, Weng Yinglong and others came to Jia's mansion to pay New Year's greetings on the afternoon of the second day of junior high school.

"I have met the grand master. I wish the grand master good health. Everything goes well."

"Haha, everyone. Please sit down. Jia Xuan serves tea."

Jia Xuan served tea and said with a smile: "My lords, please. Mr. Xiang knows that you are coming. I have already ordered the young one to prepare the first-class West Lake Longjing."

Liao Yingzhong said respectfully: "The grand master has a heart. The grand master's complexion is much better than last year's New Year's."

Jia Sidao smiled: "Yingzhong. Why are you still so polite. The old man has been cultivating himself recently. He has less work on his mind. Naturally, his complexion has improved."

"Brother Liao is so polite." Fan Wenhu took the teacup.He took a sip and said. "Teacher's tea is delicious."

"Take some back if it tastes good. In a few days, you will be heading south. When you arrive at Guangnan Road, you won't have such good tea."

Fan Wenhu said happily: "Hehe. Then I would like to thank the Grand Master."

Jia Sidao looked at Fan Wenhu.With a half-smile, he said: "En. Wen Hu. You, the Guangnan Military Region's envoy, have not come easy. You must cherish it."

Fan Wenhu knew it well.Jia Sidao's party has only his own military power left: "Yes, Grand Master. Wen Hu understands."

Weng Yinglong said: "Brother Fan. Weng will replace wine with tea. Here is a toast to you. If His Majesty abolishes the Ministry of Education this year, don't forget to leave a place for me in Guangnan."

"Brother Weng. My own brother. It's easy to talk about."

Jia Sidao frowned after hearing this.Dissatisfied: "Ying Long. The matter is not settled. Don't talk nonsense here."

Weng Yinglong smiled awkwardly and said, "Grand Master, this subordinate is just joking with Brother Fan."

Jia Sidao snorted softly.He said to Liao Yingzhong: "Yingzhong. Regarding the situation in the court this year, what do you think?"

"Grand Master. According to my subordinates, this year's situation will still continue the changes made in the latter part of last year. It can be seen from His Majesty's speech at the Great Court Meeting yesterday. His Majesty's intentions this year are obvious. It is to develop the economy, the military, and fight corruption. There are three major themes. Then the focus of government affairs will be carried out around these three themes."

"Yingzhong. Tell me what you have to say. These are old brothers. Everyone wants to hear your little Zhuge's analysis."

"Yes. Master." Liao Yingzhong knew what Jia Sidao meant.continued. "The Government Administration Council and the Military Affairs Council will definitely become the two major institutions of the imperial court this year. The authority of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Zhongshu will continue to weaken. As for whether they will be annexed or abolished, it is still difficult for my subordinates to predict. My subordinates suggest that Mr. Fan should Try to strive for a position in the Military Affairs Council. Master Weng needs to find a way to enter the Government Affairs Council. General Fan goes to Guangnan. The same needs to be cautious. As for Lord Taishi, there will be no change. The ministers in the court. Even if it is your majesty. There is no one in his confidant who can replace the prime minister of the Grand Master."

Weng Yinglong said: "Brother Liao, in your opinion, the situation this year is not optimistic."

Liao Yingzhong knew that what Weng Yinglong said about not being optimistic was not referring to the current situation but the status of the few of them.But he could only helplessly say: "Brother Weng, let's take a step and see."

The few people in the room are all ministers of the court.In fact, I know very well the current political situation in my heart.I just heard Liao Yingzhong say so.It just confirmed what I thought in my heart.All of a sudden.The atmosphere is heavy.

"Master. Mr. Chen Yizhong, Mr. Chen Yizhong, Mr. Shiqian, the prefect of Lin'an, Mr. Youqian and several other adults came to pay their respects." Jia Xuan said inside.Just in time to break the dullness.

Jia Sida said "Oh" and said, "Jia Xuan. Please wait for Mr. Chen to meet you in the living room. The old man will go right away."

"Yes. Master Xiang."

"Yingzhong. Let's talk first. I'll discuss it later at dinner."

Night fell.One after another, many officials came to Jia's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

"Master, Chen Yi and Li Zengbo, the deputy commanders of the navy, are here."

"Well. Tell them to come in."

"The next official, Chen Yi, and the next official, Li Zengbo, have met the grand master. I wish the grand master a happy new year. All the best."

"My lords. We will go to war tomorrow. Instead of tidying up in the camp, we even came to this mansion to pay New Year's greetings to this old man. This old man is very happy."

Li Zengbo said: "My lord, the preparations for the lower officials have been completed. Besides, it is only natural to pay New Year's greetings to the Grand Master. Why don't I come here."

"Hehe. The two adults have a heart. Please sit down."

Within a few days of reading the materials in Xianwen Pavilion.I have found a letter which I consider to be of great value.This letter was written by Duan Heng, the youngest brother of Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, to Song Lizong ten years ago.The content of the letter is roughly.Mongol invasion.Although the monarch and the prime minister insisted on fighting.However, there has been a long-term discord between the monarch and the prime minister of Dali.leading to a reduction in power.The army is weakened.Unable to withstand the attack of the Mongolian army.Now the monarch is leaving.Xiangguo died.Duan Shi, the second elder brother, strongly advocated surrendering to Meng.The leaders of all ethnic groups in the city supported Duan Shi one after another.This is the general trend.Dali can't protect himself when he sees it.For nearly 300 years.My Dali Kingdom has always respected the Celestial Dynasty.It's called the Fish and Water Gang.It is actually a vassal state.Duan Heng couldn't bear to see his ancestor's foundation ruined.Specially ordered his confidant Duan Donglou to sneak out of Dali.Ask His Majesty the Great Song Emperor for help.Today the Mongolian army besieged the city.Although Donglou is known as the number one expert in Dali Kingdom.But I don't know if I can break through.If only heaven had eyes.His Majesty the Emperor of China saw this letter.I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will read the friendship between the two countries for hundreds of years.Save my people from the flames of war.

My understanding of Dali Kingdom.Mainly from the novels of Mr. Jin Yong.What six-meridian sword and one yang finger.Both are superb martial arts.Duan Yu and Nan Di are also peerless masters.Of course, this is just the martial arts complex of later generations.completely different from the actual situation.

The Dali State in history is a minority state established in present-day Yunnan by the Bai nationality as the main minority.Later Jin Tianfu two years (937).Duan Siping, the governor of Tonghai, made himself king.The country name is Dali.Duan Siping also became the Taizu Emperor of Dali. In 1094, the power minister Gao Shengtai rebelled.The name of the country was changed to Dazhong. 1096.Duan Zhengchun regained the throne.The name of the country was changed to Houli.

The jurisdiction of Dali Kingdom is equivalent to that of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom.East to Hengshan on Pu'an Road (now Pu'an, Guizhou).West to Jiangtou City, Myanmar (now Jiesha, Myanmar).South to Lucang River on Lin'an Road (now Heihe in the north of Laizhou, Vietnam).North to the Dadu River in Luoluosi.The total area is equivalent to three times that of Yunnan Province today.Its political system is basically the same as that of the ancient Nanzhao state.Compared with Nanzhao, the social economy has developed greatly.Agriculture and animal husbandry are quite developed.Every year, thousands of horses were sold to Guangnan West Road in the Song Dynasty.at the same time.The level of handicrafts and iron smelting is also very high.Foreign trade developed.The traffic extends in all directions.

Dali was closely related to the Song Dynasty. More than 300 years.The economic and cultural exchanges between the people of all nationalities in the country and the mainland are frequent.The Song regime has repeatedly canonized the ruler of Dali as king.The advanced science and culture of the Song Dynasty were introduced into Dali.It has played a great role in promoting Dali.The royal family of Dali vigorously promoted Han culture.Under the influence of Han culture.Produced Bo (white) text.

Buddhism was introduced to Yunnan in Nanzhao.It reached its peak in Dali.The dogma of Confucianism and the morality of Buddhism are almost integrated.Confucian scholars all believe in Buddhism.Buddhist teachers and monks also read Confucian books.There is the so-called "Confucianism and Confucianism" (also known as "Confucianism and Buddhism").And appoint teachers and monks as officials.Teachers and monks also achieved political status through imperial examinations.It can be said that Dali is governed by Confucianism.Treat the heart with Buddha.

In the late stage.Dali Prime Minister Gao Taixiang monopolized power.You are at odds.As a result, the national strength, which was not originally weak in military strength, was seriously damaged.

The third year of Emperor Xianzong of Mongolia (1253).Kublai Khan conquered Yunnan and destroyed Dali. Autumn of 1254.Duan Xingzhi, the last emperor of Dali Kingdom, fled to Kunming and was captured alive by the Mongols.Then drop.He was appointed as the hereditary chief by the then Mongol Khan.

After Duan Xingzhi fled.His successor, Duan Shi, surrendered to Mongolia.This letter should be before Duan Shi surrendered.Written by Duan Heng himself.It seems that the Duan clan is also divided into the main combat faction and the surrender faction.It's just that the capitulators have the upper hand.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was on the safe side.Overwhelmed.After Duanping failed to enter Luoyang.The national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was severely weakened.The Mongolian army went south from time to time.Domestic traitors are in power.Yan, Ma, Ding, and Dong colluded internally and externally, and were good at gaining power.Jia Sidao also gradually rose at this time.Emperor Song Lizong lost the vigor of diligent administration and governance.Neglect of politics.Indulge in sensuality.Unintentional government.He didn't take Duan Hengzhi's letter seriously either.What's more, even if you want to help.Also powerless at all.

Related to this letter is the record of Duan Donglou's visit to Song Lizong.
