Chapter 215: Weak Duan Family Bloodline
Compared with the small Champa city, Li Nan now wants to win the Zhenla Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom.
Although Dali is incomparable with Song Liao, from the founding of the country to the present, the change of political power in China can be said to be wonderful.
In 937, the ancestral home of Dali Nanzhao Tonghai Jiedu made Duan Siping ascend the throne, changed the country name to "Dali", built Yuan Wende, and set the capital of Yang Tho Bacheng.
After Duan Siping established the Dali State, he carried out strict reforms, made great efforts to make the country prosperous, developed production, and set out to establish a new feudal order, and the production and economy of Dali Kingdom have been greatly developed. In 944 AD, Duan Siping died while inspecting agriculture in Deng Chuan, and was succeeded by his son Duan Siying.
In 946, Duan Siping's younger brother Duan Siliang united with Dong Jialuo, the prime minister, to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, forcing Duan Siying to abdicate and become a monk, and set himself up as emperor. Since then, the succession to the throne of Dali has been transferred from Duan Siping's line to Duan Siliang's line.
After Duan Siliang's death, his son Duan Sicong was established. During the period of Duan Sicong, the rapidly expanding Gao clan had replaced the Dong clan as the de facto controller of the imperial power. After that, the Duan dynasty all took the Gao family as the prime minister, and the Gao family became the most powerful political group at that time.
Since the second emperor of Dali, Duan Siying, the royal family of the Duan family in Dali has a fine tradition, that is, when encountering difficulties and pressure, the emperor will immediately be inappropriate and hurry to the temple to become a monk.
Mr. Jin Yong in "Dragon Babu", beautified everyone well, one yang finger, six veins of divine sword, are all magical martial arts; The benevolent and kind-hearted master of a lamp, the infatuated prince Duan Yu, and the suave Duan Wang Ye - let the Dali royal family in the southwest occupy a prominent position in the rivers and lakes.
However, what kind of rise and fall has the real Dali Duan family experienced in history?
Among the 22 generations of kings of the Dali Dynasty that lasted from 937 to 1253, there were 9 kings who were monks, plus 1 person who was forced to abdicate, and 10 kings finally became monks, which is a unique phenomenon in the history of the world.
Perhaps because of Li Nan's incursions, there have been minor problems in many historical events.
For example, Gao Shengtai, who usurped the throne of the Duan family and changed 'Dali' to 'Dazhong', should have died of illness ten years ago, but he is still alive and well in charge of the Dali country he took from the Duan family.
Now that Gao Shengtai is old, the crown prince Gao Taiming assists him in controlling the entire Dali Kingdom, and Duan Zhengchun, the descendant of the Duan family, and other members of the royal family are under house arrest.
Because he has long been thinking about the vast land of Dali, when Li Nan first arrived on Guangnan West Road, he sent a lot of fine works to Dali, and from time to time he could also send back some news.
After taking the entire territory of Jiaozhi recently, Zhenla and Dali were a little nervous, so Li Nan hurriedly sent a message to Pang Qiuxia and Meng Li to mobilize troops and horses to go to the vicinity of Yongzhou Temo Road, and at the same time sent the first infantry regiment of the Zhennan Army to the border of Qiyuan Prefecture to put pressure on the Gao family of Dali State.
Because the border of Dali is bordered by Guangnan West Road and Chengdu Fu Road of the Song Dynasty, Li Nan cannot completely cut off the transmission of news between Dali and the Song Dynasty, so he does not want to openly rebel for the time being, and hopes to get the country of Dali in a peaceful and secretive way.
Just when Li Nan took the pro-Wei Weifu to visit the people of Jiaozhi privately, the fine workers of Dali finally passed the latest news back.
After Li Nan read the secret letter, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the lively scene of logging and clearing land in the distance.
With great effort and a lot of financial resources, he finally came into contact with Duan Zhengchun, but this royal descendant of the Duan clan was cowardly and cowardly, and directly rejected all of Li Nan's proposals.
In fact, it is no wonder, just looking at the behavior of the Duan family members who have encountered difficulties and pressures for generations, they immediately became monks, and they know that their family's character is like this, and the Duan family, who was weak in peacetime, is estimated to be a good emperor, but in troubled times, they can only be turtles with shrunken heads.
This kind of thing is not in a hurry, Li Nan can only order these meticulous people to continue to contact the Duan family, since Duan Zhengchun is like this, then contact Duan Heyu and other people from the Duan family's side branches, after all, what Li Nan wants is just a puppet.
After dealing with this matter, Li Nan pointed to the farm in front of him that was fenced off with a wooden fence and asked, "Where is this?" β
On this trip, Li Nan specially brought the consultant of the household department, Li Daocheng, the former Jiaozhi Li Chao Taifu.
After hearing Li Nan's question, Li Daocheng replied respectfully: "General, this is the labor camp where the palace concubines, princesses, and the female dependents of the prisoners' families are imprisoned. β
According to the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty and other countries, those who were arrested were from the slave-owning class such as the officials and wealthy people of the Li Dynasty, as well as Li Qiande's concubines and daughters, some of them should be imprisoned, some should be executed, and the families of the convicts should also be distributed to places such as the Jiaofang Division.
Although Li Nan doesn't care much about Jiaozhi people, he still disdains bullying a group of women, and as for the teaching department that specializes in spoiling women, it is impossible for him to appear under his rule.
There is a lot of land in Cochin, but it is occupied by a large area of rainforest, and this is not a good time to protect the environment, so it is necessary to carry out a major transformation of deforestation and land reclamation.
Therefore, these prisoners were divided into various reform farms, and Li Nan wanted to use labor to reform their minds, and when Jiaozhi was settled down, those who performed well would naturally be released.
Li Nan walked into the women's transformation farm with the servants, and saw several neat rows of wooden houses, and women of different ages came in and out, and those younger girls should be Li Qiande's own daughters who were about to be poisoned when he escaped.
Many of the harem concubines had seen Li Nan, and at this time, seeing the arrival of the enemy who had destroyed the Li Dynasty, most of them fled into the wooden house in panic, and these women had heard a lot of the tragic events after the destruction of the country, and seemed to be very worried that Li Nan was going to attack them.
Seeing that they were so frightened that they fled like rabbits, Li Nan couldn't help but smile, if he really wanted to do something, wouldn't he have done it a long time ago, and besides, there was a fart to hide.
After Li Nan walked to the middle of the gathering place, his brows gradually wrinkled, because the smell here was very unpleasant, and the originally beautiful and tidy wooden house was full of feces and urine, and the stench rose when the blazing sun shone on it.
When Li Nan saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who was scooping raw water from the wood with a bamboo tube to drink, he finally asked unhappily, "Go and call the person who manages here." β
The person who manages this labor camp is a woman from the Niu Roar Barbarian Group, after all, if a man is used, Li Nan is not at ease, an infantry company stationed on the outskirts of the farm, the main duty is to guard and guard, and they usually dare not come in.
There are a lot of women imprisoned here, so it is naturally impossible for a barbarian woman to manage it alone, so she selected seven captains from the Jiaozhi people to assist.
Seeing that Li Nan's face was not very good-looking, this barbarian woman was also a little scared, and hurriedly called these captains over.
The country of Cochin has no background, so most of them use Chinese characters and understand Chinese, and at this time, when they heard that the person in front of them was the champion general, the seven Cochin women immediately knelt on the dirty ground.
Li Nan pointed to the dirty environment, as well as the wooden barrels that didn't even have lids, and said, "Didn't I let everyone drink boiled water a long time ago?" And the hygiene here, why is it so bad? β
These seven Jiaozhi women are sturdy, and they used to be low-level servants in the palace or palace, and after being locked up here, they immediately saw the wind and turned the rudder to the barbarian women, and became the 'Jiaozhi Annihilation' in the labor camp.
"General, all the people imprisoned here are sinners, and we thought, if we let them live so comfortably, wouldn't it be cheaper for them?"
"It's too troublesome to boil water, just let these cheap bones drink raw water!"
Listening to the replies of these cochin women, Li Nan secretly said stupid.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in a place like Cochin, and the buckets placed outside and this stinky feces and urine, I am afraid that it will not be long before this labor camp will become a sick camp, and I not only got the infamy of a secret killer to kill the concubines of the former harem for no reason, but also lost a lot of free workers who were not paid.
