Chapter 160 Dali

When he came to the riverside, Mr. Liu was already waiting here, and when he saw a group of people coming, he arched his hand and said: "The guests are rare, and the host asked me to pack two boxes of gifts, all of which are local specialties for Mingrun's journey to enjoy." ”

Su You hurriedly thanked: "There are the lord of the Lao Mansion and Mr. Liu." Mr. Liu is also welcome to visit Meishan, and I will invite Meishan scholars to travel with Mr. ”

Mr. Liu hurriedly politely, and the two scholars practiced etiquette by the river for a long time before breaking up.

The big ship started again, and after he couldn't see Mr. Liu's shadow, Chen Yu shouted: "Mingrun, let's see what gift the mansion master has given you!" ”

Mr. Fan smiled: "Mingrun is deeply hidden, when I first saw it, I thought it was a child who read and read, and then I found out that he was a genius in mathematics, and then I found that mathematics can also be applied to all workers, and finally found that the poems are also well written, until last night, I know that I am also proficient in righteousness!" What an all-rounder! ”

Su You smiled: "Mr. Fan made fun of it." When it comes to mathematics, the Great Song Dynasty is full of talents, and Su You is not ranked high; If you want to talk about Wencai, there are cousins in the family, big and small Su, and even my sister-in-law is above me; If you want to talk about righteousness, Long Shanchang, Mr. Tang, Su You only have the share of following the trend. But there is one thing that I am not ashamed of, and that is science and technology. Applying mathematics to engineering is a slight advantage in this regard. ”

At this time, I heard Chen Yu exclaim: "Wow! The lord of the house is so generous! Our whips were bought for nothing! ”

Everyone went over to take a look, and saw a pair of complete tusks in a long box. Next to the ivory is a set of ivory stationery utensils, including a printing box, a table screen, a pen holder, a pen holder, and a paperweight.

The other box was full of square objects, many bamboo whips, square bamboo canes, rattan canes, and animal skins. The quality of everything is better than what Su You and his party bought yesterday, I don't know how much.

In addition, there is kapok fines, plus a set of gold pots and pots, and a set of silver dinner plates.

There is also a rhino belt and a transparent tourmaline hat ornament.

Su You finally understood why the prodigies of the Great Song Dynasty liked to be taken by adults so much, once they entered the eyes of nobles, it was a kind of wealth.

I have been working in Meishan for a year, in addition to being famous among craftsmen and merchants and the market, how can I have such treatment.

These two boxes of things were brought back to the Great Song Dynasty, worth more than 2,000 yuan, and in the past, they were enough for my sister-in-law to work hard for five years!

Chen Yu shouted: "Visit all the way to the past, and when you return to Meishan Mingrun, you will be a rich party!" ”

Su You closed the box: "This matter must not be done again!" That's not a sell-out! ”

After leaving Dongchuan Mansion, the boat traveled for a while and turned into a tributary, the Pudu River.

This is the most important passage to Kunming in later generations, and now Dali through Shanxifu.

The current Pudu River is very abundant, and there are magnificent huge canyons in the mountains on both sides of the way, and the scenery is no less than the Three Gorges in later generations.

Along the way, Mr. Fan explained the geography and politics of Dali all the way.

The royal family of Dali is the Duan family, and its ancestor is Duan Jianwei, a general who defeated the Tang army in the Tianbao War for the Nanzhao Kingdom in the late Tang Dynasty.

Lao Duan was later promoted to Qingping official by Menge Luofeng, the king of Nanzhao, who was the prime minister of Nanzhao, and passed on the sixth generation to Duan Siping.

Duan Siping was originally just a "curtain view", that is, the deputy commander of the small mansion, but because of his outstanding martial arts and outstanding talents, he was promoted step by step to the envoy of the Tonghai Festival and became the general who ruled the party.

At that time, in the social turmoil of Nanzhao, it was a bit similar to the five dynasties of the Central Plains at that time, and experienced the Zheng family's "Great Changhe Kingdom", the Zhao family's "Great Tianxing Kingdom" and the Yang family's "Great Yi Ning Kingdom".

These regimes changed and killed each other, making the people miserable and complaining.

In the second year of Nanzhao Zunsheng, Yang Ganzhen seized the position of Zhao Shanzheng, built a great righteous Ning country, and changed the Yuan Xingsheng.

His brother Yang Zhao told Yang Ganzhen that Duan Siping had the appearance of an emperor, and under suspicion, Yang Ganzhen ordered Duan Siping to be hunted down, which is a bit similar to Li Tang's story.

Duan Siping got a revelation from divination at the Xiushan Shrine and hid in his uncle's clan. This is similar to the Spring and Autumn Heavy Ear Divination and Escape.

At that time, the good government minister Shou Gaofang had a close relationship with Duan Siping, so he sent Duan Siping's brother Duan Siliang and military advisor Dong Jialuo to protect them.

Familiar? Liu Bang was in trouble, Xiao He sent Cao Shen Fan to help!

In the first year of Nanzhao Xingsheng, Yang Ganzhen's position was usurped by his younger brother Yang Zhao, and after Yang Zhao took the throne, he changed the yuan to "Daming".

Duan Siping immediately borrowed troops from the 37 barbarians of Heijiao in the east, and met in Shicheng, with Dong Jialuo as the army to attack Nanzhao.

Yang Zhao and Chen soldiers were based on the bridge, and Duan Jun could not pass.

That night, when Duan Siping went to sleep, he got three dreams: "People have no head; The jade bottle has no ears; The mirror is broken", feeling puzzled.

The military advisor Dong Jialuo told Duan Siping that this dream was a good omen, because "Jun is a husband, and the head is heaven; The jade bottle is king; If the mirror is broken, there is no right one", so the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

This paragraph, similar to Jin Wengong was sent to restore the country by the Qin people, and he was terrified, and Dong Yin explained it with divination and hexagrams.

These things, similar cases can almost be found in the history of the Central Plains, and they are really old routines.

On this day, Duan Jun found a woman with a raccoon yarn, guided the place to cross the river, and left a sentence: "People are from the end of my river, horses are from Sansha, and the name of the country is Dali." ”

Duan Siping's army successfully crossed the river according to the guidance of the Huansha women, Yang Zhao's army was defeated and committed suicide, Yang Ganzhen abandoned the city and fled after knowing the news of the defeat, and was captured by Duan Siping's army, and the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom perished.

In the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Siping ascended the throne, changed the country name to "Dali", built Yuan Wende, and still set the capital of Yangtho City.

Duan Siping is the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, after the establishment of Dali, strict reform, hard work, Dali completed the transformation from serfdom to feudalism, entered a period of stable development.

After his death, he was succeeded by his son Duan Siying.

Or there's nothing new under the sun. After Duan Siying ascended the throne, Duan Siping's younger brother Duan Siliang united with Xiangguo Dong Jialuo to launch a coup d'état, forcing Duan Siying to abdicate and become a monk, and set himself up as emperor, changing the Yuan to the rule.

Since then, the succession to the throne of Dali has been transferred from Duan Siping's line to Duan Siliang's line, which is so familiar to the Song people that they can't be more familiar.

Duan Siliang is also a bit similar to Taizong, the means of governance are okay, Dali can continue to develop, and his son Duan Sicong is established after his death.

Similarly, all dynasties have a three- or four-generation succession spell. In fact, it is the transition from the founding period to the stable period, and it is also the process of managers who have grown up in a stable environment to ask for management rights from their predecessors who have expanded their territory.

If this process can go smoothly, it is generally hundreds of years of peace, and you can't get by, then hehe.

Dali had a problem during this Sicong period, do you remember the good government minister who sent people to help the Duan family at the beginning of the founding of the country? At this time, the strength of the Gao family swelled rapidly, and soon replaced the Dong clan passed down by the former military master Dong Jialuo and became the actual controller of the power of the court.

After that, Duan Sulian, Duan Sulong, and Duan Suzhen all took the Gao clan as their prime minister, and the Gao clan became the most powerful political group at that time.

Duan Sicong reigned for seventeen years.

In the second year of Song Taizu's Kaibao, Duan Sicong died, and his son Duan Su was established.

Not long after, Dali ushered in a great rebellion, just in time to meet Zhao Kuangyin's southern expedition, which is supposed to be the best time for the Great Song Dynasty to annex Dali.

However, in view of the failure of the Tang Dynasty and his ambition to the north, Zhao Kuangyin did not say anything about the "side of the couch", and took the jade axe to draw the Dadu River as the boundary, and dropped a sentence "In addition, I have it", and the Dali Kingdom was preserved.

After Duan Sushun's death, his successor Duan Suying believed in Buddhism and followed the example of the Central Plains.

However, because most of the scholars were monks, they ordered monks to take the examination for those who read Confucian books, which was called "Confucianism", and most of the officials were selected from the Confucianism. This is a major feature of Dali's national politics.

After that, he went through several emperors, and two of them were not willing to be puppets, so they ran to become monks, and finally passed on to Duan Suxing.

Duan Suxing is "good at traveling", and he is very happy, and the Guangying palace is in Tokyo, that is, Shanxian Mansion.

Then the city is full of flowers and plants, and the yellow flowers are planted on the embankment in spring, and the name is detoured to the golden ridge, and the white flowers are planted on the Yunjin Bridge, and the name is the silver ridge of the city. This is very similar to the appearance of the former Shu Mengchang building Furong City for Mrs. Hua Rui.

It is said that there is a flower that he likes very much, and later named it after him, which is frangipani.

The so-called "frangipani in the flowers, to Su Xing love, hence the name." ”

There are also some magical legends, according to legend, "when there are flowers and songs, they will bloom, and when there is grass and dance, they will move", so Duan Suxing "made the singer next to the flowers, and the dancers to the grass." "What a merry botanist.

Of course, Su You thinks that this may be the dirty water splashed by the family of Minister Gao, just like saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Gaochang for two horses, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the canal in order to see Qionghua open the canal, and Tang Xuanzong opened the lychee road for Yang Guifei to eat lychees.

In short, the historical record is that Duan Suxing was abolished by Xiangguo Gao Qingzhi because he liked flowers and plants, and Duan Siping's great-great-grandson Duan Silian was replaced.

Duan Silian is the son of Duan Siping's great-grandson Duan Zhien, who is quite popular, and he went around the throne here, and only returned to Duan Siping's line after 12 emperors.

Today's Dali, the political map is divided into three families, one of which is the Duan family, the royal family, which has long been weakened; the second is to control the most prosperous economic area in the Dianchi area of Shanxian Prefecture, and has always controlled the Gao family of Qingping officials; In addition, there is a family, which was mentioned at the beginning of the chapter, which once established the Dayi Ning Kingdom, which has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years since the time of Nanzhao, controlling Buddhist and Confucian intellectual talents, and spreading power around the capital Yangtho Baa City and Erhai Lake, following the path of the Central Plains family, and will always be the Yang family of the tumbler.

The eight prefectures and four counties of Dali have always been circulating in the hands of these three families.
