Chapter 296: Sunset

originally thought that even if the matter came to an end here, he only needed to think about whether it was enough to go to Dali and Xixia to take a look. But he didn't expect that almost on the same day, he met Li Chengju, the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom, and Xiao Chaoqing, the envoy of the Liao State.

The so-called Da Yue Kingdom was the prototype of the Annam regime in later generations.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Jiaozhi has been subordinate to the Central Plains Dynasty and has always been an inseparable part of the domestic territory.

It was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that Huangchao raised troops that various Jiedu envoys successively formed political power, and then there was a situation of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. At this time, the land of Jiaozhi was still under the jurisdiction of the Southern Han Dynasty and was not separated from the political territory of the country.

In 931 AD, Yang Tingyi, the defender of Aizhou, captured Jiaozhou. The Southern Han court reacted slowly and the rescue was ineffective, so it finally had to pinch its nose and admit Yang Tingyi as the envoy of the Jiaozhou Festival.

As a result, 6 years later, Yang Tingyi was killed by the military coup d'Γ©tat initiated by the general Jiao Gongxian, and the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty pinched his nose and gave Jiao Gongxian the position of Jiaozhou Jiedu envoy.

Unexpectedly, in the second year, Wu Quan, another general of Yang Tingyi, raised troops from Aizhou to attack Jiao Gongxian, and after Jiao Gongxian was defeated, he asked for help from the Southern Han Dynasty. Before the reinforcements of the Southern Han Dynasty arrived, Wu Quan had already killed Jiao Gongxian and set himself up as the envoy of Jiedu.

However, the following year, Liu Hongcao, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, led an army to attack Wu Quan, but was defeated by Wu Quan at the Baiteng River and died on the spot.

After that, Wu Quan thought that the emperor was far away, and took advantage of the frequent overlapping regimes in the Central Plains and was unable to interfere, so he simply established himself as the king. The daughter of Yang Tingyi was the queen, and the capital was Guluo, and this place was where the original Tang Dynasty Annan Protectorate was located.

Seven years later, Wu Quan died and left behind the queen Yang's brother Yang San as an assistant.

As a result, Yang San usurped the throne and became self-reliant, known as King Yang Ping. Immediately led to a great turmoil in the Annam region, and 12 localities successively ceded land and fought against each other.

From the death of Wu Quan in 944 A.D., until 968 A.D., Ding Heng established the Great Quyue Kingdom and officially proclaimed himself emperor. The territory under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhi has since been self-contained, and after the Ding Dynasty and the former Li Dynasty, it was finally commanded by Li Gongyun in front of the left guard palace of the former Li Dynasty in 1oo9 A.D. to seize power and claim the emperor, and now it has been passed to the third generation of Li Rizun.

Li Rizun is good at using soldiers, and he has repeatedly gone out to fight during the prince's reign, and he will win every battle.

After ascending the throne as the emperor, he repeatedly used troops, and when he was a vassal to the Song Dynasty, he was awarded the title of county king.

However, soon after, they began to use troops on the border of the Song Dynasty, plundering countless people and livestock. Since then, they have fought one after another, and they have never stopped. Now that he was fighting against the Champa Kingdom, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly repaired the Song Dynasty.

This time, taking advantage of the birth of Emperor Shenzong's eldest son, he came to celebrate, but in fact, it was to ensure friendly relations with the Song Dynasty.

Li Chengju himself was proficient in Confucianism and good at negotiation, so he was sent as an envoy.

As a result, soon after coming to Tokyo City, I met the appearance of the real person of Yamiao, and immediately leaned over to see the excitement, but was deeply shocked.

Originally, when the news of the Seven Star Dao Leader spread, Dayue also heard about it in China. However, no one believed it at all, and they all thought that it was a trick made by the Song court royal family.

After all, this kind of criminal record has been around since Song Zhenzong, and it is not surprising that it will appear again.

But after really seeing the various magical powers of the Eight Miao True People, Li Chengju knew that the rumors of the original Seven Star Dao Master were true.

If a figure like Ba Miao Dao Chang could be invited to visit Emperor Li Rizun in Hanoi, it would surely greatly strengthen the prestige of the Great Viet Kingdom.

After all, at this time, Li Rizun's reputation for winning every battle was very loud, and Dayue also had strong ambitions. He wanted to unify the Indochina Peninsula and build a vast empire to rival the Central Plains Dynasty.

It's a pity that Ding Yang has no interest in Li Chengju's invitation at all, and Da Yue Guo has a special taste in his eyes.

However, in the preparation of some kind of future plan, Ding Yang also began to consider whether to take a turn from Dali to take a look.

Just finished the meeting with Li Chengju, and soon ushered in the visit of Xiao Chaoqing, the envoy of the Liao State.

Since the establishment of the Liao State, because the Tang Dynasty has been in full decline, internal wars are endless. The Central Plains territory is constantly in the midst of wars, with five dynasties and ten kingdoms. As a result, the Liao State began to become the great enemy of the Central Plains, especially after the Later Jin Dynasty Shi Jingjiao presented the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, which led to the loss of the strategic points of the Central Plains Dynasty in the following hundreds of years and faced strategic military threats at any time.

There were several major wars between Song and Liao, but unfortunately there were many defeats and few victories. The Song Dynasty, which lacked war horses, had difficulty strategically transforming military superiority into decisive victory.

As a result, after the alliance of Song, Liao, and Tanyuan, it was basically peaceful, and there was no large-scale war.

However, with the rise of Western Xia, the Song and Xia fought endlessly for many years, and the national strength of the Song Dynasty was greatly depleted, which caused the Liao State to covet it. As a result, the Liao State threatened the Song Dynasty and demanded compensation for the cession of land.

In order to avoid the bad strategic situation of fighting on both sides, Song Renzong had to send an envoy to ask for peace talks.

In the end, instead of ceding the land, the annual coins were increased, and the "gifted" coins formed by the original Tanyuan Alliance were changed to the name of "Nagong" coins.

In essence, although it only increased by 10,000 taels of silver and 100,000 horses of silk, it lost the dignity of the country.

It was from this moment that the orthodox Celestial Empire, which the Central Plains Dynasty had always refused to let go, was broken by the Liao State.

However, this Song-Liao collegial agreement dealt a great diplomatic blow to the Western Xia, and even subsequently caused two large-scale wars between the Liao State and the Western Xia.

It is a pity that Liao Shengzong's two imperial expeditions to Western Xia ended in failure, if it were not for the national strength of Western Xia could not support a long-term war, and had to be a vassal to Liao, perhaps the two countries would continue to appear in a state of war.

After the death of Liao Shengzong and the succession of his son Liao Daozong, Ding Yang heard the name of Liao Daozong, and he was very emotional: "Yelu Hongji, well, I don't know if he has a son named Yang Kang." ”

Since meeting Duan Zhengming, the envoy of Dali, all kinds of wonderful emotions that have been generated have gathered again.

After having already decided to completely turn the plane's space-time into a privately owned territory, Ding Yang also had considerable malice towards the existence of the Liao State.

In the future, there will definitely be a large-scale war between the Liao and Song dynasties, so it is better to simply look at the intelligence before the war.

If this reason is just the beginning, then when he heard about Xiao Chaoqing's latest news, he was immediately shocked, and even couldn't help but stand up: "What King Xiao said is true?" ”

Xiao Chaoqing didn't know what Ding Yang was asking, he originally meant to invite Ba Miao Zhenren to visit Daliao Kyoto.

Since the Liao and Song dynasties re-signed the contract, the Song Dynasty changed the name of the gift of the New Year's coin to a tribute, and the Liao dynasty began to claim to be Chinese orthodoxy.

Since it is orthodox in China, it should take it for granted to inherit the status since the Han and Tang Dynasties. So how could a fairy-like character like Ba Miao Zhenren stay in Bianjing in the Song Dynasty?

There is no doubt that only by going to Shangjing in Liaoguo can he live up to his magical skills!

However, at this time, Ding Yang was completely shocked by the news that Xiao Chaoqing inadvertently told just now, and he didn't care about anything else at all.

Seeing that Xiao Chaoqing hadn't reacted yet, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that King Xiao just said that there is a sunset in Beihai?" ”
