Since then, the Ming Kingdom has had eight major feudal states, namely Dongying, Goryeo, Wugu, Bohai, Khitan, Xiping, Tibet, and Mongolia.

Baili Wuji set up a central garrison of 50,000 people in each of the eight major feudal states, and stipulated that the daily expenses of the central garrison should be borne by the feudal state. In order to reduce the financial pressure of the vassal states, Baili Wuji decreed the abolition of the annual tribute of each vassal state.

Since then, the goods produced in the Central Plains and Jiangnan have been continuously dumped into these eight feudal states, and from the three feudal states of Xiping, Tibet, and Mongolia to Gusi, Khorezm, Seljuk, Tianzhu and other places.

At the end of the war, Baili Wuji awarded Ma Jiyun as the general of the Zhenguo from Erpin, commanding the Tibetan garrison; awarded Yang Yezheng three products Zhaoyong general, commanding the Xiping garrison; Yun Yang was promoted to the general of the second rank of Dingguo, commanding the Mongolian garrison.

Leaving Ma Jiyun in Tibet is after careful consideration, Zhao Kuangyin's natural desire for power character, and only an old and serious person like Ma Jiyun can contain it, Ma Jiyun belongs to the kind of person who is stable and stable with water and soil, and it is just right to deal with Zhao Kuangyin, just to overcome rigidity with softness.

Baili Wuji handed over the second army of the new army of the original Yunyang to the commander of Bailikang, and awarded Bailikang to return to the dynasty from the general of Erpin Zhenguo and the division of the class; promoted Bailiyi to be the general of the second rank hussar, and the class returned to the dynasty; Ding Sijin was awarded the title of general from the second grade, and the class returned to the dynasty.

As a result, Baili Wuji realized his idea of the Ming military system, the regular army of the Ming State is divided into four categories and two categories, the four branches of the army are the new army, and the central government directly governs the 300,000 new army, guarding the states and counties around Jinling Mansion; The Imperial Forest Army, the emperor personally commanded 80,000 Imperial Forest Army to defend Kyoto; garrison army, 300,000 local garrison troops in various states and counties of the Ming State to guard the border and secure the people; Garrison of the vassal state. Eight vassal states, 400,000 garrisons.

The other two categories are: Yang Ting-style "bombardment team" and iron cavalry, which are under the jurisdiction of Xu Shouren's Military Intelligence Institute.

The total strength of the Ming army was about 120,000.

At the end of the twelfth year of the liberation. Baili Wuji issued an order, promoted Kaifeng to accompany the capital, and called it Zhongjing; Promote the Dingfu as the accompanying capital, and call it Beijing; Promoted to Chengdu Mansion as the accompanying capital, called Xijing; changed the capital of Tanzhou to Changsha Mansion, set it as the accompanying capital, and called it Nanjing; Promote Hangzhou Mansion to accompany the capital. Call it Tokyo.

The Northern Expedition and the southern extermination of the Western Uighurs and Tibetans allowed the territory of the Ming State to expand rapidly in one year, which is an exaggeration. It can be said that overnight, the flag of the Ming Kingdom fluttered anywhere within sight, and the prestige of Baili Wuji reached an unprecedented height.

In the Ming Kingdom, the imperial court was almost non-existent. Baili Wuji said softly. can turn the clouds and rain and deny any decree that has been finalized, and Xu Shouren's military intelligence has become the most "bull fork" in the Ming Kingdom.

Xu Shouren has a talent for "shady", and due to the deliberate connivance of Baili Wuji, the number of registered personnel of the Military Intelligence Agency has soared to more than 100,000, and his eyes and ears are all over all walks of life, and the only one who cannot set foot is the army. No mercy.

Because of this, Baili Wuji's ears and eyes have become extremely clear. From the eight vassal states of the Ming Kingdom to the prefectures of the Ming Kingdom, to the parents of the court officials, Xu Shouren would collect the information early every morning and place it on the table in the imperial study.

The people of the Central Plains and Jiangnan of the Ming Kingdom are in a state of excitement, which is a normal phenomenon, and every ethnic group will be excited when any nation is revived to such a point.

At this time, the public opinion of the Ming Kingdom is like a barrel of boiling oil, as long as Baili Wuji gives an order, countless people will flock to its banner, even if it is on the knife mountain and under the oil pot, they are fearless.

But Baili Wuji's heart was not dazed by this unprecedented success, he understood that after several years of non-stop conquest in the Ming Kingdom, the national treasury had been exhausted, and the treasury was empty, which Xu Shiming and others had been repeatedly reminding him, just like placing a piece of ice on his chest in the middle of summer, cold in his heart.

There is still one goal that has not yet been achieved.

That is, on the East Asian continent, there is another country outside the control of the Ming State, that is, the Dali State.

Pingding Central Plains and the surrounding Baili Wuji is moving its eyes to Dali.

Dali has been ruled by the Central Plains for more than 100 years, and its predecessor was the Nanzhao Kingdom.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty set up the Rongzhou Governor's Office, and all counties in the Dali area were under its jurisdiction.

After that, there were six "edicts" (tribes) around Erhai Lake, such as Mengcui, Yuexi, Langqiong, Deng Zhen, Shilang and Mengshe, among which Mengshe Zhao was in the south of Zhuzhao, so it was called Nanzhao.

With the support of the Tang Dynasty, the Six Zhao established the Nanzhao regime. There was a close relationship between Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty. Later, due to the growing power of Nanzhao and the increasingly fierce contradictions with the Tang Dynasty, finally in 749 and 754, large-scale wars broke out between the two sides, known as the "Tianbao War". Later, after the efforts of both sides, the "Cangshan Alliance" was held in 794, and the two sides reconciled.

In the later period of the Southern Zhao, there was civil strife in the palace, and finally the country fell apart in chaos.

It was successively replaced by Zheng Maihe's "Dachangheguo", Zhao Shanzheng's "Datianxingguo" and Yang Ganzhen's "Dayi Ningguo". These regimes have existed for a short time, and when they change each other, they will inevitably kill each other, making the people miserable and complaining. The Nanzhao Kingdom died out.

In 937, Tonghai Jiedu made Duan Siping establish elite troops, contact other Bai surnames, and unite the 37 departments of eastern Yunnan to the eastern part of Yunnan, after careful organization and planning, finally the armies of all roads broke through Taihe City, destroyed the Great Yi Ning State, built the Dali State, and set the capital of Yang Tho Baa City (now Dali City), and built the year number Wende.

The Dali Kingdom basically inherited the boundaries of Nanzhao.

In 944, Duan Siping died while inspecting agriculture in Dengchuan, and was succeeded by his son Duan Siying.

In 946, Duan Siying, who had only been in power for one year, was deposed as a monk by his uncle Duan Siliang and Xiangguo Dong Jialuo, and Duan Siliang, who believed that he had contributed to the founding of the country, ascended the throne.

In 951, Duan Siliang established himself as emperor, and died six years later, and his son Duan Sicong was established.

After Duan Sicong succeeded to the throne, the rapidly expanding Gao clan had replaced the Dong clan and became the de facto controller of the imperial power.

Baili Wuji understands that if he sends troops to Dali at this time, the Ming Kingdom is already beyond his strength.

There are four reasons for this: First, the territory of the three countries combined was almost twice the original territory of the Ming State, but the population was less than one-fifth of the original population of the Ming State.

Too much population is too much to manage, too little is impossible to manage.

Sending more troops would cost more than it would cost; However, if more troops were not stationed, it would be impossible to manage the vast territory, and the ethnic minorities were temporarily intimidated by the strong combat power of the Ming army, but no one could guarantee when these ethnic groups would join forces to riot.

It's a dilemma. (To be continued......)
