Chapter 24 The General Trend of the World
Duan Yu opened the door and walked in, Duan Zhengchun sat on the chair, looking a little sullen, but in good spirits.
Duan Yu closed the door and said, "The child has three things to say, if Dad is not in a hurry to rest, I will tell you slowly." ”
Duan Zhengchun was stunned, a little uncomfortable with Duan Yu's concise and direct way of talking, and said, "It's okay, sit down and talk."
Duan Yu walked to the table and sat down, and said, "The first thing is to ask my father to help me find someone." I met a friend outside this time, but I got lost in Wuliang Mountain, and I wanted my father to send the eyes and ears of the royal palace to find out the whereabouts of my friend, who was very important to me. ”
Duan Zhengchun said: "What is your friend like?" ”
Duan Yu said: "It's a girl, I'll draw her appearance tomorrow, you ask the painter to draw more, so that it's easier for people to take it and find it." ”
Duan Zhengchun smiled and nodded, and said in his heart that his son was more powerful than himself, and he met three women after going out for a few days.
How did he know that the person Duan Yu was looking for was not something he had only met in the past few days.
Duan Yu continued: "Dad, I didn't want to learn martial arts before, but this time I went out to know that martial arts are of great use, if my martial arts were higher than that Duan Yanqing, I wouldn't have been arrested by him." So I decided to study our Duan's martial arts hard in the future, and I had to bother my father to teach me. ”
Duan Zhengchun perked up, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a look of relief: "That's right, my Dali Duan clan established the country with martial arts, how can you, as a prince, not learn martial arts?" This time you used that master to pass on your kung fu to absorb a lot of internal force, presumably the internal force already has a good foundation, my Duan's martial arts, the most important internal force, you have the foundation of internal strength, you should be able to get twice the result with half the effort! ”
Duan Yu said happily: "Thank you, Daddy." Another thing is that I want my father to tell me about what the grasslands in the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and the north are like now? Daddy, you are the king of the south of Dali Town, and you are in charge of civil and military secrets, you must know a lot about these. My son understands first, and I will also share some official duties for you in the future. ”
Duan Zhengchun did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "It's enough for you to have this heart, it seems that you have really understood a lot of truth when you run away from home this time." ”
……
This world was narrated in Duan Zhengchun's mouth and displayed in front of Duan Yu's eyes. The two talked until midnight Duan Yufang returned to his room, and from Duan Zhengchun's mouth, Duan Yu had a deep understanding of the world for the first time, and almost shocked his jaw.
Twenty years ago, the ruler of the northern steppe was the Great Liao State established by the Khitans, the ruler of the Central Plains was the Great Ming State, and the southern part was a situation of many countries divided and warned.
The Ming Kingdom resisted the Liao State in the north with nine sides, and the Huai River was the boundary in the south, and it was at peace with the southern countries.
Eighteen years ago, the Jurchens rose in the Liaodong region, which originally belonged to the Ming Kingdom, and the Jurchens had been hunting for a living, drinking blood, all fierce, and the Jurchen army was even more invincible. The Jurchens quickly defeated the Ming Dynasty and occupied eastern Liao, and then the Liao State was defeated and retreated, occupying most of the territory of the Liao State, and the Great Liao State was forced to move westward.
The rising Jurchens were divided internally, with the two largest forces establishing the Jin and Qing states, with the Qing occupying Liaodong and the Jin occupying the steppe regions that had been snatched from the Liao. But after all, they are of the same race, and the two countries of Jin and Qing are each other's brotherly countries and help each other.
The Liao State thought that it would be able to survive by giving up the grassland with abundant water and grass, but the Mongols rose up again in the northern grasslands, and under the leadership of Temujin, the Mongols conquered the east and the west, and oppressed the Liao people to a small grassland north of Shanxi, and the territory of the Liao State did not survive. After that, Mongolia fought with the Qing and Jin successively, cutting off the tentacles of these two countries reaching out to the grassland, and overwhelming the Jin, Qing and Liao with the strength of one country, and had the potential to sweep everything.
While the north is turbulent, the south is also constantly fighting.
Fifteen years ago, the south has been a scuffle between countries, the strongest side is Hou Zhou, the last emperor of the Hou Zhou Chai Rong is a Ming monarch, Chai Rong made great efforts during his reign, and the national strength of the Hou Zhou Dynasty became stronger, but Chai Rong died suddenly fifteen years ago, leaving a widow and a young son, and the palace of the Hou Zhou Dynasty checked Zhao Kuangyin was an ambitious person, under the pretext of foreign enemies to attack, after obtaining military power, he launched a mutiny, and the yellow robe was added overnight, and the Song State was established to replace the Hou Zhou.
During the fifteen years since the establishment of the Song State, Zhao Kuangyin fought in the south and the north, and in addition to Hou Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty, other separatist forces in the southern region were wiped out by Zhao Kuangyin five years ago, until the last two years, Zhao Kuangyin successively eliminated Hou Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and unified the south.
But Zhao Kuangyin was still not satisfied, and even colluded with the Qing, Jin, and Liao in the north half a year ago to attack the Ming Kingdom ruled by the Han people. The Ming Kingdom has been struggling to resist the northern nomads for many years, and has been exhausted, and has been defeated and retreated under the siege of the Song, Qing, Jin, and Liao Kingdoms, and now it is only based on the Shandong Peninsula, and may perish at any time.
What made the Han people most angry was that the Song court only got the northern part of Jiangsu, the northern part of Anhui and the southern part of Henan, and the other territories of the Ming Kingdom were occupied by foreign races, Shanxi was returned to the Liao State, the northern part of Henan was returned to the Jin State, and Shandong was returned to the Qing State, but the Qing State had not yet swept away the remnants of the Qing State on the Shandong Peninsula.
The original Gyeonggi hinterland and Hebei of the Ming Kingdom were divided between the Jin and Qing states, with the Qing occupying the eastern half of Hebei, including the capital and Tianjin, and the Jin occupying the western half of Hebei. In the agreement of the four countries to divide the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi was originally assigned to the Liao State, but the Western Xia took advantage of the situation to occupy the northern part of Shaanxi, which made the Liao State that no longer had much land very angry, but the Liao State was no longer the overlord of the north in the past, and fought a war with the Western Xia, and finally failed to grab the northern part of Shaanxi.
In addition, the Tibetan region occupied the Qinghai-Tibet region and was already in a position to submit to the Mongols. The Hui in the Tianshan region were still resisting the Mongols, and the Mongols saw that the Hui were too poor, so they had little interest in forcibly taking the Hui Ministry. There are also scattered rebels in other places.
Dali is like a paradise in troubled times, and it has been peaceful for a hundred years.
A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Duan family, a generation of martial arts wizard Duan Siping, with the background of the martial arts family, monopolized the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, and established the Dali Kingdom. Dali has almost no foreign wars in the past hundred years, and it has been peaceful.
It's just that more than 20 years ago, the then Emperor Dali, Duan Zhixing, one of the five unique Southern Emperors, because of a palace secret, caused him to have been repenting of the past since then, and he was uninterested in state affairs, which led to the erosion of the government and government. Later, Duan Zhixing became a monk and passed on the throne to Duan Lianyi.
But in the few years when Duan Zhixing ignored the government, the powerful minister Yang Yizhen became bigger. Although Duan Zhixing was a monk, Yang Yizhen did not dare to make a mistake because of his prestige, and only when Duan Zhixing was traveling in all directions did he launch a rebellion, kill Duan Lianyi, and establish himself as emperor.
There was a chaos, the entire Dali City was in chaos, and Duan Lianyi's son, Duan Yanqing, was nowhere to be found.
Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun, with the support of Gao Shengtai and other loyal ministers, won the support of Tianlong Temple, and finally killed Yang Yizhen and regained the throne of Duan.
Then, without finding the prince of Yanqing, everyone elected Duan Zhengming to the throne.
Duan Zhengming's accession to the throne was almost the same time as Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, although Duan Zhengming worked hard, Dali has restored its thriving scene for more than ten years, but Dali is a small country after all, in order to seek stability, take the initiative to call the Great Song Dynasty, and offer the New Year's silver to the Great Song Dynasty every year.
To the south of Dali are the kingdoms of Wu and Yue. Zhong Ling once told Duan Yu about the Yue Kingdom, and Duan Yu was still very confused at that time, but through Duan Zhengchun's narration, Duan Yu knew that it was the two countries that Fucha and Gou Jian were fighting for hegemony. It's just that these two countries have less communication with China and Turkey, so there is very little information about these two countries.
Although Dali borders Wu and Yue, Dali has always studied the culture of China and Earth, and there are not many exchanges with Wu and Yue. Duan Zhengchun only heard that a few years ago, Wu defeated the Yue State and captured the Yue King Goujian, but recently the husband sent Gou Jian back to the mountain.
Understanding the general trend of the whole world, Duan Yu couldn't help but sigh, what a mess.
At present, it seems that the strongest are Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty, Mongolia needless to say, the three words Temujin represent a torrent of iron horses.
Although the Great Song Dynasty is partial to the south, the south is rich, and it was the beginning of the country, it was when the army was strong, and Zhao Kuangyin was an enterprising person, Duan Yu even doubted that Zhao Kuangyin would have the idea of destroying Dali.
Duan Yu conceived the distribution of power in the world in his mind, and couldn't help but think bitterly: On such a map, where is the way out for the Dali Kingdom that belongs to him in the future? Even if Zhao Kuangyin doesn't come to attack Dali, Mongolia will come to attack sooner or later, that is a group of steppe wolves who only know how to burn and loot.
Duan Yu knew that even if it was for the people he wanted to protect, he had to stop the wolves.
Immediately, Duan Yu thought that he was armed with the knowledge of later generations, and he had the base of Dali, compared to those self-made traversers, his conditions were already good. Just like in the previous life, although the family business that was taken over was a company that was about to go bankrupt, it was also the capital that others did not have, the talent pool of the enterprise, the complete upstream and downstream production lines and sales channels, etc., which were the most important resources.
Although Dali is small, it is also complete, the country's system is perfect, and Dali has been peaceful for a long time, and the people's hearts are attached, which is a stable rear.
In this era of the vicissitudes of the sea, it is impossible to say, he has to fight for this world!
Just imagine, if one day, he can win the world, who dares to say that he can't marry Mu Wanqing?
