Dali has many dangerous roads and miasma, and these natural conditions have become natural hazards in the south since ancient times. In later history, the powerful Mongol army also spent a lot of effort to attack Dali three times before and after, and finally Kublai Khan crossed the river to capture Dali. Later, the Yuan Dynasty enlightened Dali, Nanzhao and other places, and it was much easier for the Ming Dynasty to destroy the remnants of the southwest Mengyuan Dynasty, but now the Dali Kingdom is still in danger.

However, Sanniang, a later traverser, already knew how to attack Dali, so he ordered Dong Ping and Zhang Qing's troops to go south as early as possible, first, to adapt the soldiers to the southern climate, secondly, to train the essentials of mountain warfare, and thirdly, to prepare for the southern expedition early.

There are many preparations that need to be made for the southern expedition, including the exploration of the path, the depth of the river, the local folk customs, etc., as well as the preparation of various medicinal materials. In order to deal with the epidemic in the rainy and humid climate in the south and the smoky land, Sanniang personally prepared several prescriptions, made several marching medicines such as Zhuge Marching Pill, and distributed them to the troops, hoping to reduce the attrition caused by the disease.

After several years of preparation, the soldiers of the South Road Military Region have basically become accustomed to the local climate, and through the intelligence spy of the White Lotus Sect in Dali, they will also grasp the geography of the mountains and rivers of Dali, and the next step is to do something to Dali.

After the envoys of Dali returned to China to convey the attitude of the Yuan Dynasty, the Gao family, who controlled the government in the country, were very frightened. At this time, it was the Dali Prime Minister Gao Taiming who was in power, and the monarch of Dali was the famous Duan Yu of Jin Da Pen, whose original name was Duan Zhengyan, also known as Duan Heyu, succeeded to the throne in the second year of Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and had reigned for 21 years.

Sanniang knew that Duan Zhengyan was diligent and loved the people, and he was a good emperor, and the only thing he couldn't change was the fact that the Gao family was autocratic. Later generations of history book "Dian Yun Chronicles" cloud: Righteousness and strictness is hard work and forty years, but it cannot be reversed in case, the cover of the trend is like water, and the obstacle must not be obtained.

From Duan Zhengyan's point of view, the Yuan Dynasty angrily denounced the traitorous ministers of Dali for dictatorship, controlled the government, bullied the lord, and wanted to send troops to set things right, which was indeed speaking for him. But Duan Zhengyan also knew that once the Yuan army entered the Dali Kingdom, it would not leave so easily, and the lessons of the Xia Kingdom were still there, and if the Yuan Army was really led into Yunnan, the Dali Kingdom would be destroyed sooner or later.

So the monarch of Dali had to sit down to discuss the matter, Gao Taiming, the head of the Gao family, also knew that the Yuan Dynasty was uneasy and kind, and came under the banner of eliminating traitors for Dali. After the monarch and ministers of Dali talked for a night, Gao Taiming was also single, so he announced that he would return to Duan Zhengyan, resign from all official positions, and all the children of the Gao family in the court also resigned.

Such a strong man's broken wrist also caused trouble to the Yuan Dynasty, and there was no high-sounding reason to send troops, but the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, who was like a snake and scorpion, would not give up easily in order to expand the territory?

In July of the fifth year of Xuanwu, after returning to power, a shocking news suddenly came out of Dali, Duan Zhengyan, the monarch of Dali, died violently in the palace, and the cause of death was unknown. Duan Zhengyan is the king of Dali canonized by the previous Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, the inspection of the school Sikong, the Yunnan Jiedu envoy, the Shangzhu State and so on a large number of titles, the Yuan Dynasty followed the Song Dynasty, and the external vassal states also recognized the previous Great Song Dynasty The vassal king, it was Sanniang who sent an envoy to question the Dali State and investigate the cause of the death of the King of Dali.

As a result, the envoy sent to Dali was attacked by unknown people, and several guards were killed and wounded by the envoy, and the soldiers sent by Dali to protect were also killed and wounded. This incident was even more serious, and the Yuan Dynasty sent 300,000 troops to attack Dali on the pretext that there were traitors in Dali who killed the king and obstructed the investigation of the envoys of the upper kingdom.

Dong Ping and Zhang Qing led a cadre of generals, led 100,000 troops, known as 300,000 troops, set out from Shuzhong, and led the army to attack Dali. In this battle, Sanniang personally arranged the route of the march, and Dong Ping, Zhang Qing and others led the main force to force Qujing first. Dali was in a mess at this time, so he could only help Duan Zhengyan's heir to succeed to the throne first, and then ask Gao Taiming to take charge of the government again.

When the courtiers of Dali heard that the Yuan army was coming, Gao Taiming sent envoys to negotiate peace, but Dong Ping and Zhang Qing were not allowed, and they must go to the city of Dali and ask Gao Taiming to hand over the murderer who killed Duan Zhengyan and attacked the envoys.

It was useless to reason with Yuan Jun, Gao Taiming sighed after hearing the return: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, the Yuan Empress destroyed my heart, it is obvious to reveal!" So he led an army of 100,000 to resist. Dong Ping, Zhang Qing and others led the soldiers to advance in the fog and quickly reached Qujing.

The Yuan army suddenly appeared, and the Dali army under Gao Taiming was poorly prepared. At that time, Gao Taiming's army was arrayed on one bank of the Baishi River, and the Yuan Dynasty army was on the other bank. Dong Ping saw that the enemy had already invaded the opposite shore and choked the water, so crossing the river in this way was not good for him. So only put on the appearance of crossing the river, standing near the river, and sent dozens of people to sneak from the downstream, and after reaching the opposite bank, Ming Jin blew the horn, making a big noise, causing the Gao Taiming army to begin to turmoil, and the Yuan Dynasty army took the opportunity to cross the river.

Dong Ping let the brave and swimming soldiers in front, and the firearms battalion on the shore fired rockets at Gao Taiming's army, Gao Taiming's army was in chaos, and the elephant soldiers were frightened by firearms and ran around, but they disrupted their own army formation. After the Yuan army landed on the shore and Gao Taiming's army started a big battle, after a day of fighting, Gao Taiming was defeated and captured, Dong Ping released 20,000 captured soldiers back to his hometown, and the Yuan Dynasty army was greatly invigorated and continued to march.

After Dong Ping and Zhang Qing led the troops to capture Kunming, they attacked Dali in the west, and the Duan clan of Dali gathered to guard the lower pass of Dali, Dali City was backed by Cangshan, there were two passes up and down, one faced Erhai Lake, all of them were natural hazards.

After Dong Ping and Zhang Qing arrived, they sent Suo Chao to lead the army to attack Shangguan, and Dong Ping and Zhang Qing personally led their troops to attack Xiaguan, forming a horn trend; In addition, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were sent to lead a team of people to climb behind Cangshan Mountain, condescending as a response.

Xie Zhen Xie Bao Orion was born, and his subordinates led the soldiers to be trained in mountain warfare, good at rock climbing, and the two brothers led the army to climb the Cangshan Mountain, bypassing the upper and lower passes, and attacking the back of the two passes downward, Dong Ping and Suo Chao were the first soldiers to storm the upper and lower passes. Duan's was frightened by the Heavenly Soldier of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, panicked, did not know the truth behind him, the formation was chaotic, and the army was defeated and captured.

After the capture of Dali, Dong Ping and Zhang Qing divided their troops into other regions, or issued an order to surrender, and most of the western part of Yunnan was attached to the Yuan Dynasty. Dong Ping and Zhang Qing won the victory of pacifying Yunnan.

Then Sanniang ordered the young king of Dali to move into Yanjing, named the king of the south, and then raised in the capital, and ordered Dong Ping to guard Yunnan, reclaim the border, and pacify the people of southern Xinjiang. Dong Ping then Yongzhen Yunnan, never returned to the Central Plains for life, his policies to govern Yunnan were formulated by Sanniang, Sanniang adopted the method of governing Yunnan in history, treated the people of all ethnic groups well, respected the customs of all ethnic groups, encouraged agriculture, dredged rivers, developed industry and commerce, and all ethnic groups no longer resisted, so that southern Xinjiang could achieve long-term peace and stability.

Dong Ping then lived until he was more than 90 years old, and after Hu Zongming succeeded to the throne, he was crowned the king of Yunnan, and he died in Yunnan and got a good death. Wild history records, later after the empress Zen Hu Zongming went to sea to live in seclusion, Dong Ping has been depressed, often hanging a portrait of the empress in the room, in order to relieve the feelings of longing, before Dong Ping died, it is said that a woman in white came to see him late at night, and Dong Ping smiled after seeing the woman. Some people say that the woman in white is the empress who abdicated, and some people say no, just because according to the age, the empress should be more than eighty years old, where is she still so young? In short, it's a wild history, I don't know if it's true or not.

However, after pacifying Yunnan, Sanniang ordered Zhang Qing and Suo Chao to lead the army to attack the Li Dynasty in Vietnam, and the Yuan army attacked Vietnam in two ways, all the way from Guangdong and all the way from Yunnan.

At the time of the death of Li Chao Renzong in Vietnam, there were "Pham You Rebellion" and "Guo Bu Rebellion" in the country one after another, the domestic nobles and princes attacked and killed each other, and finally the Yuan army went on a two-way southern expedition, and it didn't take much to destroy Vietnam in one fell swoop.

Then Sanniang set up Jiaozhi Province in Vietnam, and ordered Zhang Qing to guard Jiaozhi, and then Zhang Qing and Qiong Ying guarded Jiaozhi for generations, and their descendants also hereditary guards until the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed. After Suo Chao and other generals returned to Guangdong, Sanniang ordered Suo Chao to guard Guangdong, and the rest of the generals also guarded in various prefectures and counties on the South Road. His subordinates Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zheng Tianshou, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Li Li, Li Yun, Jiao Ting, Shi Yong, Cao Zheng, Bai Sheng, Cai Fu, Cai Qing, etc., have all been the generals of the South Road Military Region for generations, guarding the south, and they all have to die well. The old brothers of Liangshan all have to die well, which is naturally much better than the tragic ending of the generals in the Water Margin, and it also makes Sanniang fulfill one of her wishes.

After the south was pacified, Sanniang's eyes turned to the north, and the Mongolian tribes were still fighting for the eight golden books under the policy of Sanniang and Yue Fei, and Sanniang turned her attention to Goryeo.

In March of the seventh year of Xuanwu, Sanniang ordered the North Road Military Region and the Middle Road Military Region to send 300,000 troops to attack Goryeo under the pretext that the caravan of the Yuan Dynasty was robbed and killed in Goryeo. In this battle, the Yuan army dispatched 300,000 military horses, claimed to be 500,000, to attack Goryeo.

In this battle, the Yuan army divided its troops into two routes, one way from the Yalu River to the north of Goryeo, and the other from the sea from the south to attack, and the north and south to advance. Although Goryeo resisted desperately, but after the navy was defeated by the Yuan army, the Yuan army successfully landed on the shore, Goryeo could not resist the offensive of the Yuan army advancing north and south, and in September of the seventh year of Xuanwu, the Yuan army broke through Pyongyang, and Goryeo destroyed the country.

After the destruction of Goryeo, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Li Kui, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Sun Xin, Sun Li, Ou Peng, Deng Fei, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, Mu Chun, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Ma Lin, Shi En, Xue Yong and other generals were all guarding in Goryeo. Later, Qin Mingyong was in the northern part of Goryeo, Huangxin was in the southern part of Goryeo, and Li Kui and his wife Pang Qiuxia were guarding Liaodong. The rest of the generals also served in Liaozhong, Liaoxi, and Huining respectively. The old brothers of Liangshan in the north also became officials in their own lives, and they were happy for a lifetime, and their children and grandchildren were all after the Yuan Dynasty generals, opening up territory for the Yuan Dynasty.

The influence of the old department of Liangshan on the Yuan Dynasty was extremely far-reaching, until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty for more than 200 years, the descendants of the old department of Liangshan were still fighting for the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the generals of Liangshan Jiangmen were also the Optimus Pillar of the Yuan Dynasty.

Xuanwu ten years, Sanniang spent three years and conquered Tubo, since then Sanniang in the first ten years of the reign, a total of Jin, Xia, Dali, Goryeo, Vietnam, Tubo and other large and small more than ten countries, the territory is more than several times that of the Song Dynasty, the domestic industry and commerce are prosperous, the sea trade is prosperous, the business is more developed than the Southern Song Dynasty, the cultural and martial arts have reached the peak, the history is called the rule of Xuanwu.
