Chapter 323: Nanzhao Returns to Song
The capital of the Jin Kingdom has been recovered, and there are no more large-scale hostile forces on the entire map of China! Xiao Ming can be regarded as having completed an important matter, and the Great Song Dynasty is currently the largest empire in Xiao Ming's hands! There are still many things to do after the war, Xiao Ming feels that he has a long way to go, and he really can't calm down in his heart.
Before Xiao Ming left, the military affairs were completely handed over to Wang Shu, but Wang Shu was self-aware, he pulled Han Shizhong, Yang Qi and others in, plus Wu Jue and Liu Qi, several people discussed military affairs, as for the administrative and civil affairs of Yanjing disaster relief, he took care of them single-handedly, which is also the best way to assign.
Xiao Ming also sent Xiao Zhonggong to Liaodong, Xiao Zhonggong was injured in the head in the earthquake, he still found Song Jun in the chaos, and was brought to see Xiao Ming, Xiao Zhonggong did not object to Xiao Ming's arrangement for him to go to Liaodong, but he did not want to leave now, he wanted to stay and help with disaster relief, after all, he was familiar with the entire Yanjing City, and he also had the talent to govern.
Wang Shu naturally welcomed him to stay and assist in the work, but in terms of identity, Xiao Zhonggong still belonged to the relics of the Jin State, so he could not give him actual authority, fortunately, Xiao Zhonggong didn't care, he just wanted to be able to do something for the people of Yanjing, and he would go to Liaodong after the disaster relief.
The thirteen gates of the four cities of Yanjing City have all been set up as relief points for the victims, the victims will receive food and fuel here, and the grain in the city treasury was lost in a fire, Shiren Gate, Xuanyao Gate, Yangchun Gate belong to the East Gate and are well preserved, but the Jingfeng Gate, Fengyi Gate, Duanli Gate, the south three gates are more seriously damaged.
More than half of the houses in the city have collapsed, but several large temples in the city are relatively well preserved, and now these places have also become resettlement sites for the victims, monks are busy saving people, and many people are also saving themselves, but the materials needed to build a simple earthquake-resistant shed are indeed very lacking, and many people are moving the ruins and tiles.
As a result, Xiao Ming ordered the palace in the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom, after the collapse, a large number of bricks, stones, and wooden tiles were all pulled out, and people were sent to the ruins of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Xishan to find building materials, and all of them were pulled to the Changyi Gate, Haohua Gate, and Lize Gate in the West Gate; Chongzhi Gate, Tongxuanmen, and Huicheng Gate of the North Gate set up temporary residences, which are the most well-preserved places.
Xiao Ming finally inspected the disaster relief site of the entire Yanjing City, the Jin prisoners and the prisoners of the new annexed army have all been transported away, and it is a waste of food to stay here, it is better to let them build the embankment of the Yellow River, seeing that everything is going on in an orderly manner, Xiao Ming also felt a lot more relieved, so he climbed into a hot air balloon, put on a special goggles, wrapped in a thick leather robe, and said to the driver:
"Let's take off, let's go!"
……
Xiao Ming took the train to Kangjing through Xuzhou Taiping City, it stands to reason that the speed of the hot air balloon is not fast, but because of the straight line distance in the air, it can also be rushed as soon as possible, due to the cold weather, there are snowflakes floating in space from time to time, the cold wind is biting, Xiao Ming did not dare to let the hot air balloon fly too high, and flew quickly at a height of dozens of meters from the ground, and arrived in Xuzhou in the evening of the second day.
Sitting on the train, it is much warmer, the current train is equipped with stoves in the passenger carriage for heating, plus the use of glass sealed carriages, sitting on the car is also comfortable, Xiao Ming can just relax his body, sleep well, this period of time really tired him is not light.
The train went directly to the station on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Xiao Ming crossed the river by boat and went directly to Kangjing, for a big official like Xiao Ming, he should have his own mansion in the capital, but he really didn't, so he had no choice but to temporarily live in the branch of Richanglong in the capital, waiting for the next day to enter the palace to face the saint.
From receiving the holy decree to Xiao Ming's return to the capital, it took a total of six days, Xiao Ming didn't know what was wrong with Gaozong, he was mainly worried about the Northern Expedition debt, if there was no large-scale collapse, there would be no problem, and the debt was returned in the third year, and the time to speculate was only this period, and there would be no store in this village.
But after he met Gaozong Zhao Gou, he realized that it was not a problem of debts, but this matter was indeed a big deal, and Gaozong solicited many people's opinions on this matter, and everyone unanimously pushed it to Xiao Ming, the head of the cabinet, because they couldn't be the master.
What the hell is going on? It turns out that the emperor of Dali, Duan Duan Heyu, that is, Duan Zhengyan, has been sent to Kangjing, and the purpose of coming this time is to seek to return to the Song Dynasty! Since the second year of Chongning, Duan Zhengchun, the lord of Dali, sent Gao Taiyun to enter the Song Dynasty, "seeking scriptures, getting sixty-nine families and sixty-two medicine books, the country of Nanzhao has not been paid much attention by Huizong."
The last time Duan Heyu went to the Great Song Dynasty, he had a great friendship with Zhao Gou, and he also got the tacit approval of allowing them to return to the Song Dynasty on the day of Huizong's birthday, but with the tense war between the Song and Jin, after a series of events in the future, the return of Nanzhao Dali to the Song Dynasty was delayed.
And this time it was due to the death of the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengchun, Duan Heyu inherited the throne, he once again sought to return to the Song Dynasty with the powerful minister Gao Liangcheng, Guangzhou observed that Huang Lan was repaid, and the court was transferred, saying: "Nanzhao is a vassal, and I want to listen to its tribute" After Gaozong got the report, Zhao Huang Lu set up the bureau of Pennsylvania, "Where there is a play, all are here!"
Therefore, Duan Zhengyan immediately "sent in the envoy Tiansiyan Ben Li Zicong, deputy envoy Tan Xuan, Li Boxiang and other envoys to Song, accompanied by 380 tribute horses and musk, bezoar, fine felt, Bijing Mountain and other things, and brought 100 musicians into Beijing. and what he has done, he shall have one superintendent in charge.
However, the purpose of Nanzhao Dali this time is to see the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, on the other hand, it is also to ask for the seal, Gaozong will educate the cabinet to discuss this matter, Xiao Ming is not in the cabinet, Lu Yihao and others can't make up their minds, and there is a reason why Huizong was not enthusiastic about this matter at the beginning.
The Dali area of Yunnan has always been a monstrous land, the land is barren, I heard that the land is red everywhere, the yield of rice and grain is very low, the local people can only eat the roots and stems of plants, and the terrain is dangerous and mountainous, it is really not a good place! After the Great Song Dynasty was appointed as its subordinate, the imperial court did not know how much to subsidize! This is the reason why Huizong was not very enthusiastic at that time.
In order to satisfy his poor and luxurious life, Huizong squandered more than half of the money and grain of the Great Song Dynasty at that time, and he was always crying poor with him everywhere, of course he did not have any excess to send to Nanzhao Dali, but now he spent a huge amount of money and grain to build the Taihu Lake stone in Genyue Mountain has run to Yanjing City, all of which are nothing more than passing fireworks.
Of course, Xiao Ming was very happy after learning about this, but Gaozong was puzzled, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Now my Great Song Dynasty is indeed rich in money and food, but if you only take the love of personal interactions, it is a bit hasty to do it as a major event for the country to collect land?" ”
Xiao Ming even said: "No, no, no!" Nanzhao Dali is the supreme treasure of the south of the clouds! Not only is it rich in resources, but it is also the most abundant area of rubber, medicinal materials, and various mineral resources, if agriculture is not developed, it is because they have not introduced suitable crops, and this land will be a fruitful land in my Great Song Dynasty! ”
Xiao Ming said this, which immediately dispelled Gaozong's concerns, and he immediately issued an edict, and the Song Dynasty government officially canonized Duan Zhengyan (i.e., Duan Heyu), the lord of Dali, as "Doctor Ziguanglu, Sikong of the Inspectorate, Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, Shangzhu State, and King of Dali".
In order to show solemnity, the Song Dynasty sent Confucian ministers Zhong Zhen and Huang Jian as canonization envoys to Dali for canonization, and at the same time awarded a copy of the Song Xing calendar. This marks the first formal determination of the relationship between Dali and Song vassals, so it is a major event for Song and Dali. The promulgation of the calendar is indeed a symbol of the Song Dynasty's establishment of the suzerainty status of Nanzhao Dali.
Due to the fact that there are a large number of people like Xiang Shen Kuo, the calendar of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be the most advanced calendar in the world under continuous revision and improvement! The issuance of the calendar to the subject country is also the most appropriate etiquette for the feudal dynasty to treat the vassals, and it is also an important symbol to establish the status of its own suzerain.
Since then, Nanzhao Dali officially became the Yunnan Province of the Great Song Dynasty, and the award of the "Great Song Calendar" also promoted the progress of the entire Yunnan region to change the land and return to the sect, and was able to quickly integrate into the entire Central Plains culture.
After the Song Jing moved south, the calendar days were generally given at the end of the year, but due to the relative backwardness of the ancient means of transportation, the new calendar was often not received in the remote areas with inconvenient transportation. In the second year of Yongkang, Zhang Jiyan, the judge of Guangnan East Road, was mentioned: The state issued a calendar day to give the ministers, and the foreign and superintendent guards. Only outside the Ling, the post is far away, and the calendar day is often the spring deep to arrive, and the first few days of the year do not know the obscure distinction "In order to solve this problem, the imperial court ordered to be awarded in advance.
The ministers of the Cabinet were naturally familiar with such matters, and this was related to the direct work of all six ministries, and the three ministries of rites, households, and officials were the primary administrative organs, and the officials of each ministry were required to complete a series of tasks in accordance with the established procedures and rituals.
Xiao Ming doesn't know much about the calendar, because when the North Jin Kingdom of Bianjing City was broken, a large number of astronomical instruments were all taken to the north, and they were all piled up on the celestial calendar platform in the upper capital of Huanglong Mansion.
Originally, after Gaozong crossed to the south, the Great Song Dynasty lacked the talents and instruments to formulate new legislation, so they had to take out the "Kaiyuan Calendar" when they came to the Northern Song Dynasty to reuse, and after getting this batch of instruments, the officials of Qin Tianjian finally rebuilt the observatory on the Purple Mountain in Kangjing.
With the common use of talents and instruments, they finally reformulated the most advanced set of legislation on the basis of the Northern Song Dynasty's "Kaiyuan Calendar", named "Yongkang Calendar", which is also the latest calendar awarded to Nanzhao Dali this time!
Now the Dali Kingdom has been returned to the Song Dynasty, Yunnan Province has been built, the Western Xia Kingdom has been returned to the Song Dynasty and the Ningxia Autonomous Province has been established, and the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed by Xiao Ming, and there is almost no war in the world! Gaozong was extremely excited, and obtained the land of the entire Liaodong and the land of Western Xia, not to mention the land of Yunnan, from the perspective of expanding the territory, he was also the lord of the prosperous world!
So two years after Yongkang, Gaozong Zhao Gou announced that the country name would be changed: "Puning!" It means that the world is peaceful and peaceful from now on. But he was a little happy too early, not to mention that all the land in Liaodong was not currently under the actual control of the Great Song Dynasty, and even in the Central Plains, there were still many unstable factors.
This is the first of all is the placement of a large number of prisoners of war in the Jin State, in order to meet the needs of a large number of domestic engineering construction in recent years, Xiao Ming does not know how many prisoners of war have been captured, basically in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, there are prisoners of war of the Jin State distributed on various construction sites in hard labor, and there will definitely be some unstable factors after a long time.
A question like this, Xiao Ming actually thought of it a long time ago, this was part of his plan, but in today's court politics, he is inconvenient to directly intervene in many things, although he has reminded the cabinet and Emperor Gaozong, but the current Gaozong did not take it to heart at all, but put all his mind on the matter of the national celebration!
