Chapter 231: The teacher is out of Dali

The paper can't contain the fire in the end, and the matter of the Dongchuan Ministry's land sale still reached the ears of the prime minister, and Gao Shunzhen will certainly not sit idly by and ignore this kind of betrayal of national sovereignty and interests, of course, if there is not so much money piled up, he may not care. In the face of officials sent by the DPRK and China, the various ethnic groups, led by the Wumeng, categorically rejected their order to collect the land sale money into state ownership.

Sent away, the boss of the Dongchuan tribes, Zhilu Dao Gao Shunzhen, would never give up and would definitely send troops to fight, so they also secretly began to prepare, build and buy weapons, armor, and contact other tribes in the neighboring county to fight against the imperial army, and finally said that the Shama Department of Jianchang Prefecture and the Yama Department of Shicheng County advanced and retreated together. And Gao Shunzhen was also busy mobilizing troops to crusade against these rebels at this time, he understood that if he could not suppress the Dongchuan tribes, it would not only be a loss of face, once he was allowed to become bigger, these people exchanged the money in their hands for weapons and bought other tribes, it was enough to fight against the imperial court and threaten the foundation of Gao's rule, so they must be suppressed while they were still in their fledgling.

The civil war inevitably broke out, Gao Shunzhen mobilized 20,000 soldiers to personally lead the army to Dongchuan County, calling it a traitor and raising troops to fight, the Dongchuan tribes fought back, and sent people to carry a large amount of money and gifts to lobby other departments, hoping to form an alliance against the Gao clan, the power of money once again showed its power, and the eleven departments of Jianchang Mansion and Shicheng County in eastern Yunnan responded to send troops to help.

At the same time, with a strong spirit of resistance, the two divisions of Maitreya and Shizong, which could not be restrained by Nanzhao and Dali, took advantage of the civil strife to rise again, and also raised the banner of "Qingjun Side", and took Miluchuan as the base to unite 37 barbarian troops such as Weimo, Luoxiong, Luowen, and Luomeng. Opposing the Gao dictatorship, Dali was in flames for a while. Plunged into a full-scale civil war ...

Gao Shunzhen hated the Dongchuan tribes, the initiators of the rebellion, and concentrated his forces to pacify eastern Yunnan first. Then the return army attacked the thirty-seven divisions led by Maitreya and Shizong. The two sides engaged several battles, although the Dongchuan Department struggled to resist, but it was still alone, and finally lost to the imperial army, and was forced to cross the river and flee into the Song realm to escape under the pursuit of the Dali army. The Dali army did not want to let go of the 'traitor', so they sent a military horse to pursue the victory, and then crossed the river to surround the Dongchuan coalition army.

Seeing that a massacre was about to begin, a strong army of the Song army came out, and one stepped forward to separate the two armies. The other besieged the Dali army and ordered it to disarm. Although the Dali army is good at fighting, they don't dare to make a mistake against the Great Song army that came from the formation, they don't dare to fight, and the retreat is behind the big river, they understand that if the Song army takes the opportunity to assault them, they will not return, and the two sides fell into a standoff for a while.

The incident on the other side of the strait was quickly reported to Gao Shunzhen, and he was very surprised by the reaction of the Song army, which had not happened in the past, and the Song army generally adopted the strategy of watching the fire from the other side. Let them fight in the dark, they will not interfere at all, let alone shield the 'traitor', so he is not alarmed. Instead, I want to take a look before I decide.

This is not tight, after the Song army issued the most important ultimatum, the Dali army still refused to lay down its arms. They immediately launched an attack, and they could be regarded as having seen the power of the Great Song firearms. In the blink of an eye, it was put down, and the Dali army, which had no way to retreat, could only surrender. And Da Song seems to have been cheap and obedient. Sending a letter to ask why Dali violated the border, Gao Shunzhen's 'arrogant' attitude made Gao Shunzhen's beard tremble with anger, but he still had thousands of people detained on the other side, and the two sides could only agree on how to solve it the next day.

The next day, when the envoys sent by Gao Shunzhen crossed the river to discuss with the Great Song Dynasty to solve the 'unauthorized border crossing' incident, they were rejected by the Song Dynasty, saying that the entry of the Dali army with weapons was an act of aggression and a major matter related to the two countries, and the Dali envoys were only small officials sent by the Xiangguo, and could not represent the country without the emperor's edict, which was an insult to the suzerainty of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Gao Shunzhen was dissatisfied with the 'pickiness' of the Great Song Dynasty, he also knew that his soldiers had crossed the river without authorization, and there was indeed a lack of etiquette, but he was used to being domineering in Dali, and the Great Song Dynasty has always been unconcerned about the affairs of other countries, and he also regarded Dali as water and fire and stayed away, and was most afraid that these 'barbarians' would make trouble.

Four or five days passed quickly, Gao Suzhen led the troops to attack Jianchang first, and then hit Shicheng, and the blood of Gao Ge and Jie was like a river. And the Great Song Dynasty really couldn't hold his breath at this time and sent an envoy to come, but to his surprise that the Great Song did not succumb, but sent a strongly worded letter, saying: Dali is a Song vassal and its people are also Song people, but now they are wantonly slaughtering, destroying domestic peace, threatening the safety and interests of the Great Song merchants in Dali, as the suzerain, he cannot sit idly by, so Gao Shunzhen immediately stopped military operations and waited for the mediation of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will take necessary measures to stop it.

Gao Shunzhen scoffed at it, he had already understood the necessary measures of the Great Song Dynasty, it was nothing more than to issue a few edicts that did not hurt or itch, and then sent some things to comfort all parties to keep the war away from the border so as not to burn themselves, and the most serious thing was to send troops to guard the border, close down the field, terminate the trade between the two sides, and impose economic sanctions, but it would not be long before the pressure of the border people to open up the border trade. He thought that the Great Song Dynasty was just a routine matter, so he ignored his warnings, and still led his troops to attack the two departments, refusing to mediate.

But this time Gao Shunzhen's calculation was wrong, just when he attacked the walled city of Shicheng Xindingbu, he suddenly received a report that the Song army had erected a pontoon bridge over the Jinsha River, and more than 10,000 men and horses crossed the river into Dongchuan County, and launched to the two wings with the intention of outflanking their back road, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses Chen Bing Jiangdong was preparing to cross the river. Gao Shunzhen was shocked, the Song Dynasty actually sent troops, he urgently ordered the three armies to retreat to Shanxian Mansion, but the Song army did not take advantage of his withdrawal to launch an attack, but controlled the three counties to the outside of the traffic artery, set up a quarantine area, and ordered all the Dali troops to withdraw, otherwise they would be annihilated......

To be honest, the suppression of the rebellion was also a severe test for Duan Heyu, and it was very difficult. On the one hand, he is the head of state and the symbol of the country, and he has the responsibility to safeguard the unity of the country and, more importantly, to maintain the peace of the people. However, on the other hand, he didn't have the right to half a penny, thinking that when his father was in power, Shanxian Li Guanyin had to come to the court, entered the eighty sections of the golden horse cane, and the people were 33,000 households, and gave such a gift, Duan Zhengchun was so happy that he was bubbling with snot, and as soon as he was happy, he immediately used the only little power in his hand to issue a document and raise the official to others, "Give eight chapters of ceremonial clothes, dragon head sword, and be promoted to General Anton." Therefore, Emperor Duan's hands are so poor that fleas are jumping high, who listens to you if he has no money or food, Duan Yu really can't be the master, it is difficult to mobilize a soldier, it is difficult to allocate a piece of food, and it is even difficult to give orders out of the palace.

And Duan Yu's heart was even more entangled at this time, the scene of the 37-hole barbarian rebellion more than ten years ago was still vivid. At that time, he thought that the country was everyone's country, not his Gao family, nor the Duan family. For the sake of the country, he stepped down from the throne, stretched out his hand, and began a union with Gao Taiming. If he had changed his mind a little at that time, or if he had been a little dirty and vicious in his heart, he would have united the thirty-seven departments, joined forces, made an alliance, attacked inside and outside, and gave Gao Taiming a sword in the back, he would not have lost his life, but would have to shed his skin.

However, Duan Heyu didn't do this, and he didn't even think about it. He knew that splitting is not good for the country and people's livelihood. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, discarded the opportunity to kill Gao Taiming, and discarded the opportunity to seize power, but formed a united front with Gao Taiming, purified the interior, eliminated contradictions, and called on everyone to quell the rebellion in the name of the emperor, and even took the initiative to appoint his son Gao Mingqing as the Marquis of Shanxian in order to gain the trust of the Gao family, and led the troops to guard Shanxian.

Shan, that is the foundation of Gao Taiming, is the base of the Gao family, occupy here, mention a brigade, you can remotely control the government, slaughter the world, and look at the rivers and lakes. Duan Yu knew the selfishness of the Gao family, worried that he would go to the front and fight hotly and play with the rebels, but the emperor behind was unwilling to be lonely, and suddenly launched a mutiny, firing his own family, there was no way to cry, so he cut off the back road to win the trust of the Gao family.

In the end, after the war, Dali moved towards peace, prosperity, and prosperity; The Gao family kept their phase, their power, and their glory; As for Duan Heyu, he lost an opportunity to dominate Dali, as an ancient monarch, he can do this, it is great enough, and it is enough to be passed down through the ages. But although his state of existence has changed, he still has not been able to exchange for the concession of the Gao family, and he is still under the oppression of the Gao family's power, like a tree under the millstone, like a pine in the cracks, in an awkward position.

Now that history is repeating itself again, Duan Yu hesitated, and he worked hard to consolidate the throne and finally obtained the edict of the Great Song Dynasty and obtained a talisman. When the Great Song Dynasty also extended an olive branch to him and wanted to jointly develop the Dongchuan County mine and rebuild the Yongchang with Dali, this can be said to be a good thing for a thousand profits, which can not only further narrow the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, but also have a rich profit return, but because of Gao's selfishness, he rejected the goodwill of the Great Song Dynasty again and again.

Gao's actions made Duan Yu very dissatisfied, but he was helpless, so after the rebellion, he did not immediately issue an edict to support Gao's military operations, but hugged his arms and watched the play! The reason is simple, he wants to see how Gao handles this crisis and whether he can find an opportunity. At this moment, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived in the city of Yang Tho, informed them that the Great Song Dynasty had been sent out of Dali, and asked them to convene the barbarian chiefs of the various departments in Dali to mediate the affairs of the various ministries by them, so as to extinguish the fire as soon as possible.

Duan Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, the national letter of the Great Song Dynasty was not handed over to the Gao family, but was sent directly to his case by crossing them, and the meaning was about to come out... (To be continued......)
