Chapter 303 Dali Duan's Clan

"Junshi, you inform Yin Yinglei, the envoy of the Lin'an Military Region, and ask him to transfer 3,000 experienced veterans and 2,000 recruits from the Lin'an Military Region, preferably those with the surname Tongshui, and 5,000 soldiers to be on standby at any time, once the naval army led by Li Aiqing captures Okinawa Island, he will immediately send troops to the east, and together with the remaining personnel of the naval army, he will form a joint force of about 10,000 people on land and water to garrison the island, and use Okinawa as a base to occupy the entire Ryukyu Islands, and I want to make the Ryukyu Islands a special province of our dynasty overseas."

Lu Xiufu said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister obeys the order." ”

"Li Aiqing, I don't understand water warfare, so I won't command blindly, and you will be solely responsible for the battle to eliminate the pirate Zhang Xuan and capture Okinawa Island."

Li Beiyang said categorically: "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." ”

"Okay, Li Aiqing, you go back and prepare earlier, Ouyang Jianqing, this opportunity to fight is not easy, so it's good to learn."

"Yes, the ministers understand, and the ministers take their leave."

Compared with last year, there are many fewer officials who go to Jiafu to pay New Year's greetings, but it still makes Jia seem to be overwhelmed, and there is a big change, that is, this year's Jia Taishi seems to be low-key, but all the people who come to visit the New Year, Jia Yidao tries to take time out to meet in person, even if it is just a little greeting, unlike last year, many New Year's worshippers can't even see the face of the Taishi, and after leaving gifts, they are invited out of the door by Jia Xuan and other people in the house,

Liao Yingzhong, the Fan brothers, Weng Yinglong and others came to Jiafu to pay New Year's greetings on the afternoon of the second day of the new year.

"I have seen the Taishi, I wish the Taishi good health and all the best."

"Haha, everyone, please sit down, Jia Xuan serves tea."

Jia Xuan brought the tea and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please, Xiangye knows that you are coming, and you have already ordered the little one to prepare the first-class West Lake Longjing." ”

Liao Yingzhong said respectfully: "The Taishi has a heart, and the Taishi's complexion is much better than last year's New Year. ”

Jia Rudao smiled: "Yingzhong, why are you still so polite, the old man has recently cultivated his surname, and he has less heart, and his complexion will naturally improve." ”

"Brother Liao is so literate." Fan Wenhu took the teacup, took a sip and said, "Taishi's tea is delicious." ”

"If it's delicious, take some back, and in a few days, you'll have to go south, but there's no such good tea on Guangnan Road."

Fan Wenhu said happily: "Hehe, then thank you Taishi." ”

Jia Rudao looked at Fan Wenhu and said with a smile: "Well, Wenhu, your position as a system envoy of the Guangnan Military Region is not easy to come by, and you must cherish it." ”

Fan Wenhu knew that Jia Rudao's party was left with only his own military power: "Yes, Taishi, Wenhu understands." ”

Weng Yinglong said: "Brother Fan, Weng replaces wine with tea, toast you, if Your Majesty abolishes Zhongshu Province this year, don't forget to leave a place for my brother and me in Guangnan." ”

"Brother Weng, my own brother, it's easy to talk and talk."

Jia Rudao frowned after hearing this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ying Long, the matter is not decided, don't talk nonsense here." ”

Weng Yinglong smiled awkwardly: "Master, my subordinates are just joking with Brother Fan. ”

Jia Rudao snorted lightly and said to Liao Yingzhong: "Yingzhong, what do you think of the situation in the DPRK and China this year. ”

"Taishi, according to the views of his subordinates, this year's situation will continue the changes in the latter part of last year, and it can be seen from His Majesty's speech at the court meeting yesterday that His Majesty's intention this year is obvious, that is, to develop the economy, military strength, and fight corruption and promote clean government as the three major priorities, so the focus of the government will also be carried out around these three major themes."

"Yingzhong, to put it bluntly, there are all old brothers here, everyone wants to hear your analysis of Little Zhuge ."

"Yes, Master." Liao Yingzhong knew what Jia Rudao meant, and continued, "The Government Council and the Military Affairs Yuan will definitely become the two main institutions of the imperial court this year, and the authority of the Ministry of War and Zhongshu Province will continue to weaken, as for whether it will be annexed or abolished, it is difficult to predict the subordinates, and the subordinates suggest that Lord Fan should try his best to strive for his status in the Military Affairs Yuan, and Lord Weng needs to think of entering the Government Affairs Yuan, General Fan goes to Guangnan, and he also needs to be cautious, as for Lord Taishi, there will be no changes, the ministers of the court, Even if it is His Majesty's henchman, no one can replace the position of Prime Minister. ”

Weng Yinglong said: "Brother Liao, in your opinion, this year's situation is still not optimistic. ”

Liao Yingzhong knew that what Weng Yinglong said was not optimistic, not referring to the current situation but to the status of several of them, but she could only helplessly say: "Brother Weng, let's take a step and see a step." ”

These people in the room are all ministers of the DPRK and China, in fact, they are very aware of the current political situation in their hearts, but when they heard Liao Yingzhong say this, it just confirmed their thoughts, and for a while, the atmosphere was heavy.

"Xiangye, Lord Chen Yizhong, Lord Chen, Lord Qian, the prefect of Lin'an, Lord Youqian, and several other adults came to visit." Jia Xuan entered the inner way, and broke the dullness at the right time,

Jia seemed to say "oh": "Jia Xuan, please wait for Lord Chen to wait in the living room, and the old man will go over." ”

"Yes, Xiangye."

"Yingzhong, you guys talk first, and I'll discuss it later at dinner."

As night fell, many officials came to Jiafu to pay New Year's greetings.

"Xiangye, the deputy commander of the navy has sent Chen Yi and Li Zengbo here."

"Well, tell them to come in."

"Xiaguan Chen Yi and Xiaguan Li Zengbo have seen Taishi, I wish Taishi a happy New Year and all the best."

"The two adults, they are going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and they don't clean up in the camp, but they also rushed to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, and the old man is very happy."

Li Zengbo said: "My lord, the lower officials have already been prepared, not to mention that it is natural to pay New Year's greetings to the Taishi, how can I not come." ”

"Hehe, the two adults have a heart, please take a seat."

In the Xianwen Pavilion to read the information within a few days, I found a letter that I think is very valuable, this letter is ten years ago Dali monarch Duan Xingzhi's youngest brother Duan Heng wrote to Song Lizong, the content of the letter is roughly, the Mongolian invasion, although the monarch and Xiangguo insisted on fighting, but I Dali monarch and prime minister long-term discord, so that the power was greatly reduced, the military strength was weakened, unable to resist the attack of the Mongolian army, now the monarch fled, Xiangguo died, the second brother Duan Shi strongly advocated the surrender of Mongolia, the leaders of all ethnic groups in the city have supported Duan Shi, the general trend is here, Dali eyes do not protect also, nearly three hundred years, my Dali country has been respected from the Celestial Empire, called the Fish and Water Gang, is actually a vassal country, Duan Heng can not bear to see the ancestral foundation destroyed in a moment, specially ordered the henchman Duan Donglou sneaked out of Dali, to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for help, now the Mongolian army besieged the city, although the East Building has my Dali country of the first master of the name, but I don't know if I can break through, if the heavens have eyes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty saw this letter, and always hope that His Majesty the Emperor will read the friendship between the two countries for hundreds of years, and save my people in the flames of war,

My understanding of Dali is mainly from Mr. Jin Yong's novels, what six veins of the sword, a yang finger, all of them are the top martial arts, Duan Yu, Nandi are also masters of the world, of course, this is just the martial arts complex of later generations, and the actual situation is completely different,

The history of Dali is a minority country established in the area of Yunnan with the Bai nationality as the main body, after the Jin Dynasty Tianfu two years (937), Duan Siping established himself as the king, the country name is Dali, Duan Siping also became the Taizu Emperor of Dali, in 1094, the power of the country Gao Shengtai rebelled, changed the country name to Dazhong, in 1096, Duan Zhengchun regained the throne, changed the country name to Houli,

The jurisdiction of Dali is equivalent to the ancient Nanzhao country, east to the Hengshan of Pu'an Road (now Pu'an, Guizhou), west to the Jiangtoucheng of Myanmar (now Jiesha, Myanmar), south to the Lucang River of Lin'an Road (now the Heihe River in the north of Laizhou, Vietnam), north to the Dadu River of Luoros, the total area is equivalent to 3 times of today's Yunnan Province, its political system is basically the same as that of the ancient Nanzhao State, the social economy has been greatly developed compared with the Nanzhao period, agriculture and animal husbandry are quite developed, thousands of horses are sold to the Guangnan West Road of the Song Dynasty every year, at the same time, The level of handicrafts and iron smelting is also very high, foreign trade is developed, and transportation extends in all directions.

Dali and the Song Dynasty are closely linked, more than 300 years, the economic and cultural exchanges between the people of all ethnic groups in the country and the interior are frequent, the Song regime has repeatedly canonized the ruler of Dali as the king, the advanced science and culture of the Song Dynasty were introduced into Dali, which played a great role in promoting Dali, the Dali royal family vigorously promoted the Han culture, under the influence of the Han culture, produced the Yu (white) language,

Buddhism was introduced into Yunnan during the Southern Zhao, reached its peak in Dali, the dogma of Confucianism and the morality of Buddhism almost merged, Confucianism all worshiped Buddhism, the teachers and monks of the Buddhist family also recited Confucianism, there was the so-called "Confucianism" (also known as "Confucianism"), and appointed teachers and monks as officials, teachers and monks also obtained political status through the imperial examination, it can be said that Dali is to govern the country with Confucianism, to govern the heart with Buddhism,

In the later period, the autocratic power of Gao Taixiang of Dali and the discord between the monarchs and the prime minister caused serious damage to the national strength that was not weak in the military.

In the third year of Mongolian Xianzong (1253), Kublai Khan conquered Yunnan to destroy Dali, and in the autumn of 1254, Duan Xingzhi, the last emperor of Dali, fled to Kunming and was captured alive by the Mongols, and then surrendered, and was appointed as the hereditary governor by Meng Ke Khan at that time.

After Duan Xingzhi fled, his successor Duan Shi surrendered to Mongolia, this letter should be written by Duan Heng before Duan Shi's surrender, it seems that the Duan clan is also divided into the main battle faction and the surrender faction, but the surrender faction has the upper hand.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was on the side of peace, taking care of itself, after the failure of Duanping into Luo, the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was seriously weakened, the Mongolian army went south from time to time, the domestic annihilation of ministers was in charge, Yan, Ma, Ding, Dong four people colluded inside and outside, and were good at power, Jia Rudao also gradually rose at this time, Emperor Song Lizong lost the original spirit of diligence and governance, neglected in political affairs, indulged in the sound of dogs and horses, had no intention of government, and did not take Duan Hengzhi's letter to heart, not to mention that even if he had the heart to help, he was powerless at all,

Related to this letter is also a record of Duan Donglou's visit to Song Lizong,
