Chapter 20: The Outer Land
Wanhe Palace, today is very lively, more than 30 tribal leaders in Yunnan gathered, plus Duan, Yang, Gao, Dong and other white clan leaders, and Zhennan Wangfu Governor Shi Zhu Danchen, Sima Li Shen, in addition to the newly arrived Yunnan East Governor Civil Affairs Kou Xiang, Yunnan West Provincial Governor Civil Affairs Wen Zhongshu, plus the same just led the Taoist group of David into Yunnan Sanxing, the new head of Yunnan Dian people, gathered together.
Nowadays, the Central Plains Guardian group is thriving, and it has been funded by many wealthy businessmen, and it is rumored that it has also received strong support from the royal family's industry, Donghai Baixing.
However, in any case, in the Central Plains tradition, sectarian politics usually do not end well, so no matter how famous the Taoist David, even the county government affairs are impossible to enter the hall, let alone the loftiness of the temple.
But in the Zhennan Wangfu of the Southern Yunnan Kaifu, after all, it is not a real administrative office, and today's deliberations are special, so the three lines can be included in the list.
This made Duan, Yang, Gao, Dong and other clan leaders thoughtful, as for the various soil tribes, it didn't matter, they were originally more faithful, not like the Bai leaders, and more advocating Buddhism.
Lu Ning looked at Kou Xiang, the governor of Yunnan East Province, and Wen Zhongshu, the governor of Yunnan West Province.
This is the "Kou Wen" of this dynasty.
Kou Xiang really gave birth to a son, named Kou Zhun, who is now more than ten years old, and is extremely intelligent, but he is most interested in Ming things, forgetting to sleep and eat, and likes to do all kinds of experiments on things, and even caused fires.
This made Kou Xiang very helpless.
Lu Ning has been paying attention to Kou Zhun, and he is also a little speechless about Kou Zhun's development direction, it seems that there is one less politician in this world, but there may be one more enlightenment scientist.
And "Kou Wen" originally referred to Kou Zhun and this Wen Zhongshu, in this dynasty, it was Kou Zhun's father Kou Xiang and Wen Zhongshu, the cabinet selected the two to come to Yunnan, it was a coincidence, and he agreed with Zhu Criticism, that is, it was deliberate, he originally had a more suitable candidate in his heart, but when he saw the cabinet recommended people, he suddenly changed his mind.
"Zhuqing, the Davidian Daoist group is ready to go deep into the Bagan and Arakan in the southwest of Yunnan and the land of the Shan people in the south to educate the ignorant and relieve the poor.
When Lu Ning spoke, the hall was immediately silent.
This is also the result of Lu Ning thinking about it for a few days, and he still has to pass on the contradictions.
If Zhao Kuangyin doesn't leave, the battle with Zhao Kuangyin is imperative.
But Zhao Kuangyin walked extremely simply, not dragging mud and water at all.
Then, just find something to do for Uncle Duan Wang, Gao Renwen and others, it is nothing more than external expansion.
In fact, the local Nanzhao era had a strong desire for expansion, and when the Duan clan was in power, it was relatively mild, also because of the threat of the Northern Song Dynasty and the later Li Dynasty of the Ding Dynasty of Vietnam, mainly on Shoucheng.
But now, in the northeast and southeast, Sichuan-Shu, Guizhou, and South Lingnan Province are all the territory of Daqi, and the threat is gone.
Northwest Tibet is poor and has bad mountains and bad waters.
Expansion to the south and southwest is almost inevitable.
In fact, he is a member of the Duan clan, and now he will inevitably ponder the matter of expanding his territory to the southwest.
As for himself, it is to find something to do for the three major families, so that they can think about their throne as little as possible.
It is better to get bogged down in the mire of Myanmar and Thailand, counterinsurgency and the like, and fight endlessly.
With the passage of time, its native land gradually became the Central Plains.
As for the Bagan and Shan countries that the Guardians will enter, they are Myanmar and Thailand in the future.
The Shan people were actually originally in the south of the present-day Dali Kingdom, and the Nanzhao period broke out in the war with the Nanzhao, and had to move south after the defeat, and later formed the Siam State recorded in the Central Plains, that is, the origin of Thailand, and the Shan people are the ancestors of the Thai people in Thailand.
Lu Ning's words were spoken in the official dialect of the Central Plains, and then Zhu Danchen translated it in the local language.
However, the king of Zhennan had already announced that a year later, the city of Yang Tho Baa and the east and west roads and the official offices of the state capitals would only communicate in official language, and the heads of the various departments would need to be able to speak official language, so that the departments could be peaceful, communicate in an orderly manner, and there would be fewer disputes.
Duan's time was also vigorously promoting the Central Plains, and Lu Ning's move was in the same vein, but it was more targeted, and no one had any objections.
"Let's discuss it at will." Lu Ning's voice fell, and after Zhu Danchen finished translating, there was an immediate bang in the hall, and it became a vegetable market.
Kou Xiang and Wen Zhongshu glanced at each other, their faces were impassive, and they sneered at themselves in their hearts, looking down on these unruly barbarians.
Uncle Wang sighed and brushed his beard, and admired it very much, the Central Plains people are the Central Plains people, obviously they are going to invade the land, they can say it so fresh and refined, what "educate the ignorant and relieve the poor".
In the midst of this noise, the Yunnan provinces entered the southwest to "relieve the people from hanging" and gradually agreed.
……
In the side hall of Yin'an Palace, Lu Ning's face was solemn, now the various ministries are gathering people, and he just wants to go to Bagan, Shanrendi, Arakan and other places, but he doesn't want to, he still thinks about the border things simply.
As soon as I got the news, the southwesternmost Qilan tribe took the lead in raising troops without waiting for his own order, and he wanted to take the lead first to occupy more land, but he didn't want to, and was ambushed by the Arrakan tribe in a place called Rakhine, and suffered heavy losses.
Arakan, in later generations, may be the Rakhine ethnic group of Burma, who have always been in a state of secession and independence, and do not obey the decrees of the Burmese government.
Aragansi, on the other hand, was the Baltic kingdom established by the Bengalis, and some of the large parts of Arakan may have submitted tribute to the Bengalis.
Although the current Polo Dynasty is not in its heyday, its territory basically includes the later Bengal, the land area is about the same as that of Dali, and it is located on the delta plain adjacent to the Bay of Bengal.
Since he has decided to send the Guardian Regiment into the southwest and order the Dali tribes to conquer the southwest, of course, he is ready to operate in this southwest place to educate the southwest, so that future generations will no longer be troubled by the southwest border troubles.
Originally, I heard that a melon seller would become the new king by beating the king who stole the melon to death, but he didn't pay much attention to the current southwestern countries, and even felt that it was a waste of time to spend time on their territory.
But the fiasco of the Begging Blue Department is like a wake-up call, reminding yourself that this land that the Central Plains Dynasty has never been involved in, to the peak of the expansion of the territory of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the conflict with its various ministries, basically did not take any advantage, and, once the border trouble occurred in the southwest, the Central Plains Dynasty often worked the people and lost money, twice the result, the Ming Dynasty even just Ping Guizhou a tribe's rebellion, the Qing Dynasty and Burma broke out in war, but all of them consumed a large amount of treasury accumulation, the war won or failed, in fact, the first hand has already lost.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning looked at the map and the description of the Southwest Countries in the East China Sea in his hand again, in fact, many of them were rumors, but Lu Ning still looked at them in detail and seriously.
