Today's Dali belongs to the Houli Kingdom in history. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Tianbao War of the Tang Dynasty, the general Duan Jianwei defeated the Tang army, and made great achievements for the Nanzhao State, and was promoted to the Qingping official by the Nanzhao king Mengge Luofeng, and passed on the sixth to Duan Siping. Duan Siping was initially the deputy general of the small mansion, and because of his outstanding martial arts and outstanding talents, he was promoted to the envoy of the Tonghai Festival and became the general who ruled the party.

In the second year of Nanzhao Zunsheng (929), Yang Ganzhen seized the position of Zhao Shanzheng, built the Great Yi Ning State, changed the Yuan Xingsheng, and in the first year of Nanzhao Xingsheng (930), Yang Ganzhen's position was usurped by his younger brother Yang Zhao, and after Yang Zhao took the throne, he changed the Yuan "Daming".

Duan Siping immediately borrowed troops from the 37 barbarians of Heijiao in the east, and met in Shicheng, with Dong Jialuo as his military division to attack Nanzhao, and then attacked Dali.

At that time, Yang Zhao and other Chen soldiers were on the bridge, and Duan's army could not pass. That night, Duan Siping got three dreams in his dreams: "People have no head; The jade bottle has no ears; The mirror is broken", feeling puzzled, the military advisor Dong Jialuo pointed out that Duan Siping's dream was an auspicious omen, because "Jun is a husband, and the head is the sky; The jade bottle is king; If the mirror is broken, there is no right one", so the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

On that day, Duan Jun found a woman with Huansha and guided Duan Jun to cross the river, saying: "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 (937), Duan Siping ascended the throne, changed the country name to "Dali", built Yuan Wende, and still set the capital of Yangtho 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.

By the time of Emperor Duan Sicong of Dao Guangci, the rapidly expanding Gao clan had replaced the Dong clan and became the de facto controller of the imperial power. 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.

In 960, the Song Dynasty was established, and in the first year of Kaibao (968), Dali sent a letter to the Song court, asking for a good pass.

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

In 969, there was a border rebellion in the eastern part of Dali, Yanzhong Town Mayor Zongqi, the leader of Qiuzhou Dai Lian Langtu, captured Mi Nai and other three yi, Duan Sushun sent Dutong, Changhuang Shu, Bu Xie Duan Zibiao, Du Jian Sanjun, Li Le Shuang, Chang Horse, Bu Xie Duan Yanzhen and other unified troops to pacify the border village, Zhu Dai Lian Rabbit, etc., at the same time crusaded against Lang Yu, Afang, Tiandong, gathered 37 leaders in Shicheng (Qujing) to meet the alliance and award rewards. Duan Sushun met Zhao Kuangyin's southern expedition, and Zhao Kuangyin, in view of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, used the jade axe to draw the Dadu River as the boundary, saying that "in addition, I have no more", and the Dali Kingdom was preserved.

This is the famous allusion of the Song Dynasty waving the jade axe.

During the reign of Emperor Duan Silian, the Emperor of Xiaode, he once defeated and fled to Dali's two Guangmanian chieftains, Nong Zhigao, beheaded to offer the Northern Song Dynasty, which shows that Dali still has an extremely deep fear of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Emperor Xiaode succeeded to the throne to Duan Silian, the Gao family, like the Dong family in the past, used this merit to support the surnames in one fell swoop, and Gao Zhisheng gradually seized all the authority.

In 1080, Yang Yizhen staged another coup d'état, killed the monarch Duan Lianyi and became self-reliant, changed to Yuan De'an, and was called "Emperor Guang'an". Gao Zhisheng sent his son Gao Shengtai to lead the army to rebel, punish Yang Yizhen, support Duan Lianyi's nephew Duan Shouhui, and appointed himself as Buxie, with his son Gao Shengtai as the marquis. Since then, Gao's father and son have been in power in Dali, which made Duan Shouhui and his successor Duan Zhengming afraid, and successively abdicated and became monks.

The Duan clan of Dali has since become a puppet of the Gao clan until the death of Dali.

This is something that is not mentioned in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon.

Duan Zhengming, the Baoding Emperor in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, is actually a puppet emperor.

Thirteen years later, in the first year of Song Zhezong Shaosheng (1094), Gao Shengtai, who had been in the autocratic power, abolished Duan Zhengming and established himself as king. In 1096, Gao Shengtai died of illness. Due to the opposition of the Yunnan tribes, Gao Shengtai asked his son Gao Taiming to return to the Duan family, so Gao Taiming supported Duan Zhengming's younger brother Duan Zhengchun as the emperor of Dali, but then the authority of Dali was in the hands of Gao, and he was known as the lord of Gao.

This is the Houli Kingdom.

And the well-known Duan Yu is the son of Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Yu was in the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong Daguan two years (AD 1107), succeeded his father Duan Zhengchun as the 16th king of Dali, until the Southern Song Dynasty Gaozong Shaoxing 17 years (AD 1147) Zen throne as a monk, reigned for 39 years, is the longest reigning king among the kings of the Houli Kingdom, and was called Emperor Xuanren after his death.

Duan Yu was a monarch who made a difference, and he understood that establishing friendly relations with the Song dynasty was the foundation of the country. Although the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom was alienated due to the Song Taizu's policy of "not being far away", the Dali Kingdom still remained a vassal to the Song Dynasty. Duan Yu paid special attention to strengthening the connection with the Song Dynasty, paying tribute to local specialties such as Dali horses, musk, bezoars, and fine felt, and also sent phantom opera musicians to perform in the Song Dynasty, which won the courtesy of Song Huizong, and canonized him as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, and the King of Dali.

This is Dali during the Two Song Dynasty.

So Dali Duan is really a royal family that can't be sad.

Soon after the founding of the country, the government was maintained by courtiers, and most of the kings became puppets.

Therefore, Li Fengwu and Han Yanxuan and others will see that only one person needs to be dealt with when they are sent to Dali: Xiangguo, China Gonggao Shouchang.

As for the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengxing, Gao Shouchang will take care of it.

According to the relationship between Dali and Song, the Chen Bing border that Li Fengwu said before was just a secret thing, and after the negotiation reached an impasse, it was just put on display, so that Dali understood Dali's determination to get more Dian Ma.

As for really sending troops to Dali?

This is very unlikely, so in the end, it really depends on the lips of the mission.

In this respect, this mission to Dali is really a chore.

The scale of Dali's Yunnan horses is not large, far less than the pastures of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and it is not ordinarily difficult to make Dali pay more tribute to Yunnan horses.

Li Fengwu has already thought through these things.

It is because before the envoy, he said to the official family that the ministers are dedicated to sharing the worries of the officials, but whether they succeed or not depends on the number of days.

Leave the responsibility to God.

lest the envoy return, fail to achieve the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, and be condemned to the gods, it will be a big loss.

Zhao Yan also understood the twists and turns, and his statement at that time was also very vague, and he only said a few words and tried his best.

The contingent of more than 1,200 people set off towards the south of Caiyun in such a mighty way, and the scenery along the way was ...... It's really picturesque, but it's a pity that in Li Fengwu's opinion, it's also very desolate.

The route of the mission was from Lin'an, passing through Huizhou, Qizhou, Changdefu, Chenzhou, Juzhou, from Wumeng to Huichuan Mansion in Dali, and then from Huichuan Mansion to Dali.

To arrive in Dali before the Spring Festival, the path chosen is the shortest path.

Therefore, many places along the way are deserted and remote places, even if the infrastructure and official roads of the Great Song Dynasty are developed, some places along the way, especially the path from Chenzhou to Juzhou and then to Wumeng, are almost all wild places with mountains.

That's a good way to go.

If you enter the territory of Dali from the South Guangxi Road, 100,000 mountains are enough to swallow the mission to the ground. (To be continued.) )
