Chapter 760: China has not yet been reunified

The first year of indoctrination and the sixth year of Heavenly Dao were actually the same year, and when the Ming sage Chen Dexing was ambitious and wanted to conquer the world, he seemed to forget that the Chinese mainland had not yet been unified.

On the land of China, there is still a country that can compete with the Ming Dynasty - the Great Song Dynasty!

Of course, it was not Zhao Lin'er's Song Kingdom, but the Great Song Dynasty where her cousin Zhao Yu was the emperor. When Chen Dexing pacified Jiangnan before, the Great Song Dynasty did not perish, but just fled.

With the concept of "how can the future be planned if there are no survivors", Jiang Wanli, the military division of the Great Song Dynasty Pingzhang, resolutely led a long march of thousands of miles. The 80,000 army protected Zhao Yu and tens of thousands of supporters of the Song Dynasty, fled all the way from Hongdu Mansion on Jiangnan West Road, and there were many officials and people from Jinghu South Road and Guangnan West Road along the way, and when they entered the territory of Dali, they already had 300,000 people!

At this time, the Dali Kingdom had already gotten rid of Mongol rule, and the one in power was Duan Xingzhi, the emperor of Dali Tianding - not Duan Zhixing, the Southern Emperor, so he would not be able to beat the 80,000 Jiangxi soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, and he died again in less than a month, and he also threw his life on the battlefield. However, this time, Jiang Wanli did not let the Duan clan of Dali be the hereditary head of Dali. Instead, it completely wiped out the Dali Guozuo, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and regarded Dali City as the place of the Song Emperor.

This move, of course, caused dissatisfaction among the people of Dali. Dali Duan's family is also more than 300 years of family and country, in Yunnan can be regarded as deep-rooted, although the power was seized by the Gao family for more than 100 years, but the Duan family still has the people's popularity. Otherwise, the Gao family would have become the emperor of Great China (Gao's national name), how could he return the country to the Duan family later?

In the next year of the Great Song Dynasty, a Dali monk jumped out to lead the uprising. Resist the invasion of the colonists of the Great Song Dynasty. After several years of attacking and killing, the blood flowed like a river, and it was not completely pacified. In the end, Jiang Wanli took a step back. changed the policy and sealed dozens of toasts with the surname Gao in one go. also asked Zhao Yu to marry a bunch of little girls surnamed Gao as concubines, and also issued an edict in the name of Zhao Yu to allow monks to participate in the imperial examination and become officials, and also announced that the imperial examination should pay equal attention to Buddhism and Confucianism, which made the Gao family (Dali Quanchen Gao clan) Tusi and Dali monks compromise. Naturally, the revolt of Sariwei failed.

suppressed the people's uprising and temporarily consolidated the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in Dali. Jiang Wanli and the Great Song Dynasty officials all felt that they needed to change the era name to get rid of bad luck, so the new year was the first year of the Great Song Dynasty education.

With "education" as the name of the year, it seems to convey such a meaning: The time when the Great Song Dynasty simply pacified Dali by force has passed, and now it is necessary to carry out education. Change customs, turn razed into Han.

But this edification or something, you can't just use your mouth without a sword. This truth is now very clear to the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty, if there were no bloody killings in the past two years, how could there be the "first year of the Great Song Dynasty education"?

Moreover, what has been pacified now is only the core territory of Dali, that is, Dali Mansion, Yongchang Mansion, Lane Dong Mansion, Moutong Mansion, Huichuan Mansion, Chuwei Mansion, Shanyan Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Shicheng Mansion, Dongchuan Mansion, Weining Mansion, Xiushan Mansion and other twelve prefectures. Shanju Mansion bordering Uszang to the north, and Tengchong Mansion bordering Tianzhu to the west. In the south, Jinghui Province, which borders Bagan, Annam, Thailand and other southern countries, is still not subject to the king. The combined territory of these three prefectures seems to be larger than the twelve prefectures controlled by the Great Song Dynasty!

Besides, the twelve prefectures of Dali that the Great Song Dynasty now occupies are on the border of Chen Ming's Nanchuan Province and Guangxi Province. The side of the couch. Can it really make the Great Song Dynasty, a Chinese orthodoxy, sleep peacefully for a long time?

Next to Tianlong Temple, in a house that is no different from the Han family's mansion, in the study. Several men in Confucian clothes are holding Yinsheng tea (Pu'er tea), a specialty of Dali. talked about the future and fate of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Virtue is not enough, and people's hearts are not enough. The survival of a country is still a lot of money. ”

"It's true in troubled times, we ignored this in the past, and only thought that we could rely on benevolence to convince people."

"The knife in your hand is sharp enough, so you can say that you are benevolent, otherwise you are weak and can be bullied."

"Yes, what Pingzhang Gong said is very true, I am too benevolent in the past. As a result, the Central Plains was lost first, and then the Jiangnan was lost, and now there are the twelve mansions of Dali left, which are still fought down by swords and guns. ”

"Benevolence still needs to be talked about, but we have to use knives and guns first, and then we must talk about benevolence. If you don't beat them and don't beat them up, if there is no river of blood, how can there be any teaching? We must hurry up the matter of teaching Yihua Han! The words and words of Dali have to be abolished for me, and everything that can be found in books written in Dali characters has been burned, and the history books of Dali have also been burned. ”

"Pingzhang Gong, it's all burned...... So what about this year's imperial examination? Kaohanwen? Do those Dali people recognize it? ”

"Zhenzhi, do you really think you can open a department?"

"Pingzhang Gong, aren't we going to open the imperial examination?"

"Of course the imperial examination is open! However, whoever is not in the middle can't read the article. ”

"What do you read if you don't read the article?"

"What's the last name? Whose family is the person, which temple is the monk. It's worth our wooing, as long as you can write a few Chinese characters, you can give a jinshi ......"

The few people who are talking are all important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty today. Pingzhang Military Affairs Jiang Wanli, Left Prime Minister Ye Mengding, Right Prime Minister Ma Tingluan, and Governor Wang Yao. The place where they are located is a royal palace in the original Dali Kingdom, and now it is Jiang Wanli's house. Now that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is brainless, national affairs are naturally in the hands of the Jiang Wanli brothers. Now Jiang Wanli is in the court, and Jiang Wanqing is leading his troops out of Shicheng Mansion to prevent the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

And Jiang Wanli's mansion is basically the power center of the Great Song Dynasty - this Jiang Wanli regards himself as the successor of Jia Nidao, of course, he has to learn from Jia Nidao's style.

After taking a sip of Yinsheng tea, Jiang Wanli said again: "Hehe, the imperial examination is not only for the country, but also for winning people's hearts." Just use this excuse to let the children of the high-priced family, the Yang family, the Dao family, the Bai family, and the monks of several big temples come out to be officials! Zhenzhi, this imperial examination, you should be the main exam, you must do a good job. ”

Zhenzhi is Ye Mengding's word, Ye Mengding was stunned, "Pingzhanggong, don't you take the exam yourself?" ”

"It's not right, it's busy!" Jiang Wanli smiled bitterly, "What kind of consequence has emerged in the south, and there is a country of Ahong in the west...... Don't accept the king! There is also a Bagan country in the southwest that claims to be a foreign country, and a while ago sent an envoy to ask us to pay tribute to Bagan, which is crazy! ”

The right prime minister, Ma Tingluan, smiled: "The barbarians who don't know whether they are alive or dead, what should they do?" ”

Jiang Wanli snorted coldly: "How can you ignore it?" If these barbarians are not educated, will my Great Song Dynasty always be cramped in the Twelve Prefectures of Dali? ”

Governor Wang Yao frowned, "Pingzhang Gong wants to raise soldiers?" ”

"Yes, it is to raise troops to march south!"

"But the south is a place of miasma, Pingzhang Gong's golden body, in case anything goes wrong......"

"What golden body?" Jiang Wanli waved his hand, "Can you still compare with Chen Huaiqing?" He has gone to attack Tianzhu, so can't the old man go south to Bagan? ”

It turned out that the main target of Jiang Wanli's southward journey was Bagan, that is, Burma.

"Bagan is a big country!" The right prime minister Ma Tingluan said.

Bagan Burma has always been a hegemon in the south, and the Khmer Kingdom is one east and one west, side by side, as if it is not easy to conquer.

Jiang Wanli smiled, brushed his beard, and picked up a letter from the desk that he didn't know who wrote it.

"This is what Chen Jun wrote directly to the old man."

As soon as the words came out, Wang Yao, Ma Tingluan and Ye Mengding were all stunned, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became complicated.

Jiang Wanli glanced at the three of them and smiled: "Chen Junzhi said in the letter that he will soon enter the army of Arakan, and then use Arakan as a springboard to invade Tianzhu. And Arakan is a vassal state of Bagan, and Bagan will most likely send troops to rescue, and when the time comes, Bagan will be empty, which is just convenient for my Great Song Dynasty to conquer. ”

Subjugate? Several great Confucians couldn't help but shake their heads, how could this sound like a Mongolian?

"Well, it's de-edification!" Jiang Wanli also consciously lost his words, and hurriedly corrected, "It is the duty of those of us who study to educate the barbarians. The king of Bagan acted perversely, and dared to ask my Chinese orthodoxy to pay tribute to him. The people of his country must also be ignorant and rude, how can they not be educated? ”

The three great Confucians nodded one after another, this is the right reason. Confucius said that there is no class in teaching, and the Bagan barbarians can naturally be taught.

"What Pingzhang Gong said is reasonable, but I don't know how many soldiers Pingzhang Gong is going to bring to educate the Bagan barbarians?" Zuo Xiang Ye Mengding said, "Now that the country is a little peaceful, the Quartet is not quiet, and it must be guarded by large soldiers." ”

"Fifty thousand!" Jiang Wanli stretched out a slap. "Bagan is a big country, but the country is empty, and it takes 50,000 people to get it."

"There are only 30,000 left in that country, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?"

"How can it be that there are only 30,000?" Jiang Wanli smiled, "The heads of the Gao family, the Yang family, and the Dao family have all read the books of the sages, and they should also participate in this matter of educating the barbarians." Tell them to send 10,000 soldiers each, and the court will send 20,000 soldiers. ”

Reasonable! The private soldiers of these three families do not need to be used in vain, and it is also a hidden danger to stay in the country! However, the three Confucians were still a little worried. 50,000 soldiers is enough, but the mountains and roads in Bagan are dense and dense, and there are miasma, so it's good that the time is shorter.

Jiang Wanli smiled confidently: "In addition, the old man also plans to ask the old monk of Tianlong Temple to bring gifts, select a few beauties of the Duan family, and give hundreds of catties of gunpowder, a few small copper guns, and dozens of heavenly thunders, and send them to Bagan to give to Emperor Narodi Habo, and ask him to fight against the tyranny." In this way, Emperor Naroti Habo must be unprepared, if Allah is in a hurry, maybe he will ask me for help, and then the old man will lead 50,000 soldiers to take Bagan, it will be easy!
