Chapter 714: Duan's Bloodline
Meng Shiming's request is reasonable.
After all, ten years later, Meng Shiming is already quite old, so he naturally has to let Meng Qingqing, who has been trained for nearly 20 years, take the position of patriarch, and he will have nothing to do from now on, so as to enjoy his old age in peace.
Regarding his father's request, Meng Qingqing had no choice but to nod and agree.
Because, the rules of the Yi people are very different from ordinary gangs and families.
The position of patriarch has been passed down from generation to generation.
Unless there are no adult heirs before the abdication of the current patriarch, the elders will be elected by the entire clan.
Therefore, the power of the Yi patriarch is so great that he has to override the Council of Elders.
......
Meng Qingqing was destined to inherit his father's position and serve as the patriarch of the Yi clan.
This also means that ten years later, he will leave the big group of "Seventeen Heroes of Martial Arts" with an excellent atmosphere.
However, Meng Qingqing did not have many regrets.
After all, there are still ten years of freedom.
Moreover, the distance between Kunming Mansion and Shilin Mansion is not too far.
With Meng Qingqing's personality of "time is short, and time is happy"; There is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful and tomorrow is sorrowful", ten years, it is still a long time, why be full of sorrow now?
Therefore, Meng Shiming's request did not affect Meng Qingqing's mood.
Of course, it will not affect the mood of other people.
Even the future patriarch's wife, Lilac, didn't take this matter to heart.
......
After Hua Feng and his entourage of forty-two people left Shilin Mansion, they went straight to Dali.
The sky is beautiful, and everyone travels all the way, most of them are high and cloudy, and the wind is beautiful.
And everywhere is the intoxicating scene of spring flowers blooming and birds singing and fragrant flowers.
So that everyone's state of mind is getting better and better.
"The warm breeze makes the tourists drunk. It is the true portrayal of Hua Feng and others.
Lu Shiying, Ouyang Yudai and other heroes from East China and South China, how have they ever seen such plateau scenery?
Naturally, he was dizzying and sighed.
......
Under Chen Xuejuan's questioning, Duan Jinchao, who has always rarely spoken, began to talk about Dali Mansion with great interest.
Its mouth is like a river, like a number of treasures, so that everyone can't help but be impressed.
Obviously, Duan Jinchao is very proud of Dali people!
Obviously, Duan Jinchao's eloquence is not impossible, but he just doesn't want to show it.
......
Dali Mansion is located in the west of Yunnan, located in the Erhai Plain on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, on the shore of Erhai Lake, is the capital of the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom.
The strategic position of Dali Mansion is extremely important, and it is a battleground for soldiers in all dynasties.
As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, a county was set up in Dali.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to Yongchang County.
During the Three Kingdoms, the Southern Expeditionary Army surrendered to Zhuge Liang and established Yunnan County of Shu Han.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was successively subordinated to Heyang County and Xihe County.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, six tribes were formed around Erhai Lake, known as the Six Zhaos.
In 1253 AD, the Dali Kingdom was destroyed by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, who led his army to conquer in person. In 1274 AD, the Yuan Dynasty set up Yunnan Province in Kunming Province in order to facilitate its rule.
Since then, the central city of Yunnan has been transferred from Dali to Kunming.
In 1381 AD, the Ming army captured Dali Mansion and built a new mansion city.
And this city has been used to this day.
......
After listening to Duan Jinchao's talk about the glorious history of Dali Mansion, even Hua Feng and others, who came here for the second time, also showed great interest in Dali Mansion, not to mention Lu Shiying, Shi Wuyuan and others who had just arrived?
And Chen Xuejuan, the daughter-in-law of the Duan family, is even more interested in Dali Mansion, and she can't wait to have wings and fly away.
However, the others were not in a hurry, and continued to move slowly.
"Good food is not afraid of being late. ”
When they have nothing to do, there is always a time to arrive.
A month later, I finally arrived in the west of Yunnan!
......
According to historical records, the Duan clan of Dali began in 937 A.D. and was the ruler of the Dali Kingdom.
It was even twenty years earlier than Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao's mutiny, and the imperial robe.
After the Dali Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols, the Duan clan of Dali did not decline from then on, but served as the governor of Dali in the Yuan Dynasty for generations and continued to control Dali.
One hundred and thirty years passed in peace.
Until the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, he was still loyal to the former Yuan and resisted the unification of the Ming Dynasty.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the Ming army entered Yunnan, and Duan Shi, the last governor of the Duan clan, had no intention of surrendering to the Ming and resolutely resisted to the end.
......
Tracing back to the source, the first to arrive in Yunnan was Duan Yan of Wei, Duan Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then Duan Jian Wei of the Tang Dynasty.
The first emperor of Dali, named Duan Siping, was the founder of the Southern Zhao Dynasty after Duan Jianwei.
It united the 37 barbarian tribes in eastern Yunnan, destroyed Dayining, and was able to establish the Dali State.
His son Duan Siying and grandson Duan Sicong both have the word "Si" in their names. This is due to the fact that after living in Yunnan for several generations, the Duan family was influenced by the local father and son.
Dali Duan's clan not only held a high position in the past dynasties, but also had extremely strong martial arts.
First there were Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun brothers, then Duan Heyu and Duan Yichang, and then Duan Zhixing, Duan Gong, Duan Shi, until today's Duan Jinchao.
The Duan family has a lineage, a large number of talents, and an extremely profound heritage.
Like the Tangmen in Shuzhong, it is also an out-and-out first-class top family, and enjoys a very high status in the martial arts of all dynasties.
......
The Duan family in Dali is actually not weaker than the Zhou family in Kunming more than ten years ago, and the reason why its reputation is not as prominent as the Zhou family in Kunming is nothing more than three reasons.
One of the reasons is that it is located on the border, and it is extremely difficult to make a name.
Dali is far away from Kunming, the political and commercial center of Yunnan, and few martial arts figures have set foot in Dali.
The second reason is that it is as indisputable as the Tang Sect in Shuzhong.
Dali Duan's has always been low-key, and has always adhered to the principle of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people".
Even in the period of Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, and Duan Heyu, even if the "Six-Vein Divine Sword" was unmatched, there were very few children of the Duan family walking around in the rivers and lakes.
The third reason is that the family rules are very strict and the personality is modest.
The masters of the Duan clan in Dali have no sharp men.
Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun, Duan Heyu, Duan Yichang, Duan Zhixing, Duan Gong, Duan Shi and others are all top masters in their respective eras.
But except for Duan Zhengchun, Duan Heyu, and Duan Zhixing, who often travel the rivers and lakes, few people know about the rest.
This point, from Duan Jinchao's speech and demeanor, you can get a glimpse of the leopard.
......
Although Duan Jinchao avoided talking about his own family, he only talked about Dali Mansion.
But Tang Huaming, Liu Meng, the Zhang brothers and others, how can they not be clear about the Dali Duan family, which has an extraordinary background?
In the words of you and me, you quickly read all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Duan family in Dali.
After Chen Xuejuan heard this, she couldn't help but look shocked.
I used to think that this "stupid wood" was just a strong martial arts, and I was afraid that my family background was far inferior to myself.
I never thought that my ancestor was the emperor!
Even putting aside the official position, people have thousands of years of precipitation.
And it's built to last!
