"Bring Dali under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty?"

As soon as Zeng Bu's words came out, all the Song generals were silent.

They are all soldiers, and it is okay to let them lead the troops to fight, if they are allowed to govern the place, I am afraid it will be difficult for them, but they have personally conquered Dali, and they are most familiar with this place, and they also have the right to put forward opinions for the reference of the court officials thousands of miles away.

Chong Pu said confidently: "Judging from the end of the general, if you want to completely incorporate Dali into the Great Song Dynasty, it is better to follow the policy of Tubo and divide the land and property of each department equally to the southwest barbarians, so that Dali can return to the heart like Tubo." ”

Zeng Bu moved slightly, now Tubo has gone through the policy of liberating serfs, most of the serfs are returning to the Great Song Dynasty, after the departure of the Western Route Army, Tubo is stable, and the grain and grass on the West Route Army along the way is the supply of Tubo, this policy is a great contribution.

"Dali is different from Tubo, the status of the serfs in Tubo is extremely low, and the life is extremely difficult, the Great Song Dynasty liberated the serfs to let them be fed and clothed, so that they can be grateful to the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the help of the Tibetan Buddhism, and finally let the Tubo completely return to their hearts; And Dali is not, its climate is warm and humid, the forest is continuous, the products are abundant, even if ordinary people can survive when they enter the forest, the life of the people of all ethnic groups in the southwest is not difficult, the Great Song Dynasty implemented the policy of emancipating serfs, I am afraid that the result is half the effort, and still can not let the people of Dali return to their hearts. Zeng Bu eventually rejected the proposal.

First, the situation in Dali is different from that of Tibet, Dali has a warm climate, complex terrain, and all the departments are hidden in the caves of Lin Mang, if the policy of emancipating serfs is used, it will definitely make the southwest tribes rebel, hide in the forest Mang, and harass the Song army everywhere, so that the originally pacified Dali will make waves again, which is not conducive to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty over the land of Dali.

Not to mention that the liberation of serfs was Fan Zheng's policy, Zeng Bu was naturally unwilling to let Fan Zheng make any more contributions.

"What does Fan Taicheng think?" Zeng Bu said tentatively to Fan Zheng.

However, to Zeng Bu's surprise, Fan Zheng actually cooperated and said: "What the privy envoy said is very true, the doctor pays attention to one person, Dali and Tubo are different forms, naturally you can't use the same medical prescription, and use the method of Tubo to govern Dali, although it can be successful, but it is half the effort, this is the next policy." ”

Seeing Fan Zheng cooperate like this, and even said that the policy of emancipating serfs was used in Dali, Zeng Bu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Zeng Bu said proudly: "From the official's point of view, after the burning and looting of the southwest departments, the entire population of Dali has suffered heavy losses, and the climate of Dali is suitable, it is a good treasure land, it is better to immigrate a large number of Song people to the land of Dali, and then let the imperial court send officials to govern all parts of Dali, so that it can not only solve the disadvantages of redundant officials in the court, but also completely integrate Dali into the rule of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zeng Bu also has a keen eye, the land of Dali is too rich, even if the liberation of serfs is implemented in Dali, it is also to benefit all ethnic groups in Dali, it is better to give the benefits to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the Song people in the land of Dali occupy the majority, the Great Song Dynasty will naturally send officials to the Great Song Dynasty, then this land will be completely to the Great Song Dynasty.

A group of Song generals complimented: "The privy envoy is wise, this is a good policy." ”

Zeng Bu was quite smug and said: "This official is also obtained by chance, and the specific implementation still needs the approval of the imperial court, but Fan Taicheng has always been known as an evil doctor, so why not diagnose this official."

Zeng Bu was proud in his heart, how could he not know that Fan Zheng used the southwest departments to commit a large number of killings in the southwest, creating a large blank area, just to lay the foundation for immigrating to the Song people in the future, and now he took the lead in proposing this strategy and happened to make a wedding dress for him.

Fan Zheng frowned when he heard this, and said quietly: "The privy envoy Miao praised, immigrated to the Song people, and the imperial court sent officials to govern Dali, which can not only ensure Dali's return, but also avoid Dali's turmoil again, which is the best policy." ”

"The best strategy!"

Zeng Bu personally heard Fan Zheng call his strategy the best policy, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

He has always known that Fan Zheng likes to use the upper, middle and lower three strategies, although the three strategies are all feasible, but the best choice is the best choice.

Zeng Bu further forced each other to say: "Fan Taicheng should not be modest, now that the general and the official have put forward the policy of governing Dali, Fan Taicheng commands the Western Route Army, if he does not put forward the policy of governing Dali, I am afraid it will not be reasonable!" ”

Zeng Bu naturally wouldn't let Fan Zheng go so easily, he thought that he had figured out Fan Zheng's evil recipe and took it for himself in advance, and now let Fan Zheng hastily let him come up with a strategy to play to the imperial court, which will definitely be overshadowed, and this time, after all, he will win a game.

Fan Zheng retreated as the way forward: "With the superior policy of the privy envoy, the lower officials will not get the axe." ”

Zeng Bu shook his head and said: "No one in the world knows, Fan Taicheng's evil party is not broken, this attack on Dali, the use of the two belly plots is amazing, so that the official admires, if there is an evil party can be done once and for all, although the Tao comes, the official will be sent back to Kaifeng for the official family to decide." ”

Zeng Bu is determined to ask Fan Zheng to come out again, he thinks that he has found the best way to govern Dali, no matter where Fan Zheng comes out, he can only become his foil.

Fan Zheng frowned, as if helplessly said: "Xiaguan came all the way to the east, and found that whether it is the southwest Yi or the thirty-six departments in eastern Yunnan, they all live in the forest, plus there are 100,000 mountains in the southwest, the so-called land has no three miles of flat, and the sky is not sunny for three days, and it is extremely difficult for the imperial court to send liuguan to govern. It can also stabilize Dali and even the entire southwest, and also provide troops for the future attack on Bagan and the opening of the Western Ocean to the sea. ”

"Seal the chiefs of each tribe as Tusi, and let them be hereditary from generation to generation?"

As soon as Fan Zheng's strategy came out, it immediately attracted the attention of a group of Song generals.

Tusi is the local official, and in more popular words, he is the soil emperor.

You must know that whether it is the next policy of Chongpu or the best policy of Zeng Bu, it is to solve Dali once and for all, so that Dali can completely return to the heart, and Fan Zheng proposed to seal the patriarchs of each tribe as Tusi and let it be hereditary from generation to generation, wouldn't it retain the autonomy of the southwest departments, just like installing an independent kingdom in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and even after any part becomes bigger in the future, or after the court is weak, it will definitely betray the Great Song Dynasty.

When Zeng Bu heard Fan Zheng's method, he was immediately overjoyed, and laughed in public: "Although Fan Taicheng's method is not thoughtful, it is also a good way to stabilize the southwest, and it should be the middle policy!" ”

"Middle?"

The corners of Chong Pu's mouth twitched when he heard this, where is this the middle policy, and even his next policy is not as good, the implementation of this law is destined to make the southwest departments too big to fall, and can only leave a lot of trouble for future generations, it is better to take this opportunity to completely solve the disadvantages of the southwest once and for all.

Chong Pu didn't understand why Fan Zheng, the evil doctor who could come up with a strategy to liberate the serfs, would come up with such a flawed countermeasure, but Zeng Bu, who couldn't hide his joy when he swept the corners of his mouth, suddenly thought thoughtfully.

"The official level crushes people to death, and even the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng is afraid that it will be difficult to avoid."

"Fan Taicheng is hiding clumsy! Maybe he knew that his method would be discarded, and he just said it on purpose! ”

Chong Pu and Yao Xiong glanced at each other and then avoided it.

Now that the three armies have converged, the privy envoy Zeng Bu has the largest official position and great power, even the evil doctor Fan Zheng was robbed of a good strategy by Zeng Bu, so he could only swallow his anger, and they were military generals who were suppressed by Wenchen and could only remain silent.

"Good! Someone came, and sent the three strategies of General Chong, Fan Taicheng and the official, together with the good news of pacifying Dali, to Kaifeng and report the victory to the official! Zeng Bu said with a big wave of his hand.

"Victory!"

Suddenly, the great joy diluted a little unpleasantness just now, they have conquered Dali City, destroyed Dali Kingdom, this good news back to Kaifeng City, they will definitely have a reward, since then soaring.

At that moment, Zeng Bu immediately sent people and horses to Kaifeng City to report the victory.

…………………………

Returning to the camp of the East Route Army, Yang Bangyi, who had been following Fan Zheng, said hatefully: "The dignified privy envoy is too domineering, and he actually robs his subordinates of the credit. ”

It is obvious that the lower policy of Chong Pu following the old policy of Tubo will not work, and Fan Zheng's middle policy has very serious sequelae, and I am afraid that the imperial court will not hesitate to agree to Zeng Bu's upper policy.

And the credit for this best strategy was originally laid out by Fan Zheng in advance, and he had even talked to him a long time ago, Yang Bangyi had heard about it for a long time, but now it was robbed by Zeng Bu.

Fan Zheng waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "It's okay, the so-called upper, middle and lower three strategies are just our suggestions, which one to adopt, it still needs to be decided by the imperial court, what if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty think that the middle policy is appropriate?" ”

Yang Bangyi was slightly stunned, if others said so, he might think it was self-comforting, but Fan Zheng had done too many unexpected things, so there was another turn for the better.

Fan Zheng sneered in his heart, the Tusi system has been prevalent in the southwest for hundreds of years and has been adopted by all dynasties, which naturally has its reasonableness, not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty is only a preliminary control of Dali, so naturally it will not use the southwest departments, it can only be enveloped, the Tusi system is destined to be the most suitable system, he does not believe that the court ministers cannot see this.

"Summon, let the chiefs of the southwestern tribes come to discuss important matters!" Fan Zheng waved his hand.

Now that the Dali War has ended, just as Zeng Bu suspected, Fan Zheng is also worried, 170,000 southwest bandits around the Song army, even if it is a plate of scattered sand, it is a huge threat.

If there is a conflict between the Song army and the southwestern tribes, I am afraid that it will cause irreparable disasters, in this case, it is better to let the various departments lead the men and horses back to the various departments, and everyone can be happy.

Soon after the herald left, a group of patriarchs heard the news.

"I've seen Fan Taicheng later!"

The patriarchs looked at Fan Zheng worriedly, now that Dali has been controlled by the Song army, they have lost their value, the so-called cunning rabbit cooks the dogs, and the birds do their best to hide the bow, they also understand.

Fan Zheng looked around at the patriarchs and said straight to the point: "Before you wanted to leave, on the one hand, the grain and grass were insufficient, on the other hand, the Gao family was not extinguished, Fan tried his best to stay, and now that Dali City has been broken, the Gao family and his son have been ambushed, Fan is naturally embarrassed to delay your return journey, from now on, you can prepare grain and grass to prepare for the return." ”

"Thank you Fan Taicheng!"

The patriarchs of the 36 tribes in eastern Yunnan and the 36 tribes in the southwest are all overjoyed, you must know that in the Eastern Route Army, the southwest divisions have a numerical advantage, and the Song army, the southwest Yi, and the 36 tribes in eastern Yunnan are in a three-legged state, and the safety of each department is naturally worry-free, plus Fan Zheng led them to attack all the battles and be invincible, so they naturally twisted into a rope.

And now that they have broken through Dali City, nearly 100,000 elite Song troops broke into Dali City, breaking the three-legged situation of the Eastern Route Army at once, and giving the Song Army an absolute advantage, which made the southwest departments feel uneasy.

In addition, Zeng Bu, who had just entered the city, was quite strong, and the evil doctor Fan who was close to them was at a disadvantage, and they had even more thoughts of leaving.

And when they heard the good news from Fan Zheng's mouth that they could evacuate, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Thank you Fan Taicheng!"

The southwestern departments were grateful, and their trip to follow the evil doctor Fan Zheng's expedition to the west can be said to be full of harvest, and the risk is very small, so they can return with a full load.

"But there are as many as 170,000 people waiting for us, and I still ask Mrs. Fan to worry a lot about the matter of food and grass!" Yang Changchun said cautiously.

As soon as they broke through Dali City, they were driven out by the Song army led by Zeng Bu, and the grain and grass were basically in Dali City, and they got very little.

"Of course, I won't let Fan Taichengbai help! I will definitely thank you a lot. Song Wanzhang also cooperated.

When the expedition was first made, it was agreed that the plunder would be owned by the various departments, but they needed to provide their own grain and grass, and now that the departments were short of grain and grass, they would naturally buy it from the Eastern Route Army as before.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, you will follow the arrangement, the southwestern departments that are far away will take the lead in leaving, and the thirty-six departments in eastern Yunnan will follow, there shall be no fight between the various tribes, I will raise a part of the grain and grass for you in Dali City, and the grain and grass prepared for you by Fan Sanming, a former subordinate of this official, in Shanxian Mansion, is enough for you to return to their respective tribes safely." ”

Fan Zheng arranged for Fan Sanming to be responsible for a part of the grain and grass, Fan Sanming represents the Ministry of Commerce, and the grain and grass he prepared is naturally not given away for free, but needs to be purchased by various ministries, and at the same time, Fan Sanming can be familiar with the southwest departments and lay the foundation for the next transaction.

"Thank you Mrs. Fan for your help!"

The patriarchs of all ethnic groups in the southwest were grateful.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty occupies Dali is a foregone conclusion, they naturally do not want to offend the evil doctor Fan Zheng again, especially the small tribes, they are even more grateful to Fan Zheng, they are few and weak, if the big tribes forcibly rob them, they will definitely not be able to keep the money in their hands, and now there is the evil doctor Fan Zheng who has spoken to protect them, which is enough for them to return to the tribe safely.

At that moment, the southwestern departments began to pack their bags, and the farthest Banzhou Yang clan took the lead in collecting grain and grass, and crossed the Longwei Pass to the east.

Seeing that the Song army did not stop it, the various departments were relieved and began to retreat one after another.

At the same time, when the southwestern departments retreated, an eight-hundred-mile expedited rush out of Lin Mang to cross Yizhou, and then non-stop at an eight-hundred-mile expedited speed, galloping all the way, everywhere it went, and in just eight days, the heralds rushed to Kaifeng City.

"The southwest is victorious, and Dali is destroyed!"

While shouting, the herald galloped into the west gate of Kaifeng City, and the entire Kaifeng City was boiling again! Everyone cheered. (End of chapter)
