Duan Sushun calmed down civil strife and ensured peace in Dali.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, Dali sent envoys to congratulate him. Guo Hao only sent the Ministry of Rites to entertain the envoys, but he did not show up.

Now that Tubo has been destroyed, the countries around Dali are too busy to take care of themselves. The Bagan Kingdom is still struggling for unification and has sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute.

As for Jiaozhi, Guo Hao did not want to touch them now, so he was granted a title and officially listed as a vassal king.

There is also Tianzhu, which is also divided and dynasties change. Facing a powerful country like you, you will not be provoked at all.

So after Guo Hao and others arrived in Lhasa, a letter of nationality was sent to Duan Sushun, and Duan Sushun's face changed drastically.

"It's really outrageous!"

After receiving the national letter from the Song Dynasty, Duan Sushun immediately came to the clan to discuss. After reading the national letter, the clans had their expressions similar to Duan Sushun.

Because there is only one content in the book of the country, that is, surrender to the Song Dynasty!

When Guo Hao destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty, Dali was already alert and prepared.

But Guo Hao and Zhao Kuangyin were different. He did not make any decisions and did not sign any covenant with Dali.

More than ten years have passed, and both sides have never violated the rivers. When the Song Dynasty attacked Tubo, Duan Sushun had thought about his own safety, but he was still very confident in Dali.

Dali Kingdom is very happy to use various means to unite the tribesmen in the territory.

After all, there was a fierce Northern Song Dynasty outside, and there were disasters such as Mi Nai in the eastern territory. The Dali King generously granted officials, which could ensure that everyone worked together to fight the foreign Song Dynasty.

The hereditary method of giving officials and power should be the main means of employment in the early days of the establishment of the Dali Kingdom. Most of the people who were given officials were in power by all ethnic groups and could unite with Dali.

Hereditary people will not be interrupted, and the entire Dali bureaucratic strata is extremely single and stable.

In this way, the gentry held power in a turbulent country, which was conducive to concentrating manpower. It can be said that they were always guarding against the invasion of the Song Dynasty, but they were just not taking the initiative.

Moreover, the main component of Dali Country was Yunnan Province in later generations.

Yunnan is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with mountainous areas accounting for 84% of the total land area of ​​the province. The average altitude of the east is about 2,000 meters, mainly low mountain and hilly landforms, and many karst landforms that may leak.

In addition, it is located in a tropical area, with lush plants and dense rainforests. Even if the altitude is not as good as in Tibet, the geographical environment is still complex.

In terms of transportation, although Dali State also developed water and land transportation to a certain extent, the parts bordering the Song Dynasty mostly traveled inland river transportation and mountain roads, and the transportation was not as developed as Myanmar, which belonged to the south.

This is not conducive to the Song army's in-depth combat in the form of combining sea and land.

Compared with the Southern Han Dynasty, the rulers of Dali were more capable, and the kings changed very quickly in the early days of the founding of the country.

The four kings of Duan Siying, Duan Siliang, Duan Sicong and Duan Sushun were reigned for 30 years, and one king was replaced in an average of seven years.

Moreover, the Prime Minister's family Gao family planned to gradually take power after Duan Siping's death.

However, when wars broke out in the eastern part of Dali during the Duan Sushun period, King Duan Sushun was able to issue orders at critical moments, sending the commander, Changhuang Shu, Bu Xie Duan Zibiao and others to quell the war.

From this point of view, although the prime minister's power in Dali State was inflated at that time, the king still had a certain degree of autonomy, and the two were in a balanced and coordinated relationship.

Therefore, the rule of Dali Kingdom was stable and effective. Even the powerful Mongolian cavalry in later generations paid a heavy price to destroy Dali. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses died, and when the division arrived in Hunan, the offensive power was greatly weakened.

With this analysis, it is much more difficult to conquer Dali than those in the Southern Han Dynasty and Tubo.

However, Guo Hao still issued a letter of nationality, demanding Duan Sushun surrender, but Guo Hao did not rush to send troops, but contacted the countries around Dali.

We asked Bagan, Jiaozhi, Penggaluo, Malaya, Persia and other countries to cut off contact with Dali, otherwise the Navy of the Song Dynasty would not mind greetings.

Many countries received letters from the Song Dynasty, and Jiaozhi was the first to reply, willing to obey the arrangements of the sect leader and not to communicate with Dali.

The Bagan Kingdom was immediately followed. After all, the situation in their country was complicated. The king's palace, Jiang Piao, had just regained the throne as the son of the dan.

Since the establishment of the dynasty, two usurpers have appeared in decades. Gong Cuo Jiang Piao did not want any mistakes in the throne, because the Bagan Kingdom was very backward at this time.

The Bagan Kingdom then cut off its contacts with Dali, and the only country on land bordering Dali was Penggara.

Due to geographical reasons, the Pengjialuo Kingdom had no contact with the Song Dynasty. Guo Hao simply sent an envoy to Pengjialuo to convey the meaning of the Song Dynasty.

Pengjialuo belonged to the Indian Empire in history and had heard about China. They had to surrender to this Eastern giant.

All three countries know that the purpose of the Song Dynasty was Dali, and it is likely that they will be them in the future, but they still cannot refuse.

At this time, the Navy of the Song Dynasty had occupied the South China Sea islands, blocked the Malayan roads from the sea, and carried out trade and trade.

The Song Dynasty Navy, which had steamships, was unobstructed along the coast of Southeast Asia. The cannons on the ship could shoot hundreds of meters, and the firearms were equipped to make them unable to fight back.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty did not want to invade. They exchanged silk and porcelain for coal and grain, and cooperated with the caravans to obtain a large amount of resources.

In this process, the navy also obtained resources and they prefer this method and did not need the court to pay food and salary.

In this case, not to mention the economic losses caused by the evil with the Song Dynasty, even the invincible fleet of the Song Dynasty was not something they could resist.

So shortly after the Song Dynasty's letter was issued, no country dared to interact with Dali. Duan Sushun and his clans felt very frustrated, but there was no way.

Just as Dali was waiting for the Song army, there was no movement in the Song State because Guo Hao was busy moving the capital.

In June of the third year of Longxing, Guo Hao and civil and military officials set off from Bianliang and moved the capital to Youzhou and Beijing.

A month later, everyone arrived in Beijing.

Looking at the Forbidden City in front of him, the ministers were all surprised because the new capital of the Song Dynasty was more than twice as big as Bianliang.

Such a huge palace is far superior to the imperial palaces of all dynasties. It took three years to build and complete it, showing the courage of the great power of the Celestial Empire.

In front of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, Guo Hao stood with his hands behind his back, and all civil and military officials were at the stairs.

There were really hundreds of officials accompanying him this time. When he was in Bianliang before, the palace could not accommodate these people.

However, now, hundreds of officials gather here, and the place is much empty, which seems more than enough.

It is impossible to move the capital so much, without a ceremony. Guo Hao brought all the officials to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then entered the hall.

Inside the hall, Guo Hao sat on the dragon chaise, with a plaque hanging on his head, with four big words written on it: Taiping has an elephant.

These four characters were written by Guo Hao, and are traditional Chinese auspicious patterns. They come from "Book of Han: Biography of Wang Mang": "The world is peaceful, the grains are ripe", which means peace and prosperity in the world.

"I am here to pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

At the relocation ceremony, the officials bowed three times and nine times. Guo Hao sat on the dragon throne and accepted the officials' salute.

After the ceremony, there were some arrangements, including the cabinet and the six ministries, and the three palaces and six courtyards had their own purposes.

Guo Hao came this time and only brought the surroundings and Shen Xin. Qiunan and Abuli were all stayed in Bianliang. The original palace was left to Guo Zhishun, and he asked him to expand the Geju Academy.

In this way, Beijing, Zhongjing, Nanjing and Song dynasties had three rights dispatch centers. In addition to the lack of military power distribution, Zhongjing and Nanjing had certain ruling power.

The three princes were ranked in the Three Capitals, which was a bit similar to the feudal system, but they had no military power and what they did was limited.

Some core confidential personnel from the Bianliang Gewu Academy also came to Youzhou this time. It’s not that Guo Hao was worried about Guo Zhishun, but mainly because the Bianliang area was too small.

Guo Hao really moved the capital to Youzhou, and Yelu Xian and his wife felt a strange feeling.

After three years, they all felt that Guo Hao was just talking and did not dare to come to Youzhou. After all, the Liao Kingdom at this time was full of soldiers and food.

But Guo Hao didn't believe in evil, and he really moved the capital to Youzhou. In addition to the civil and military officials, there were 50,000 imperial guards.

After the 50,000 imperial guards arrived in Youzhou, they immediately took over the work of the border army. Some of the original border troops were transferred to Liaodong and stationed in Shanhaiguan.

The other part went west and strengthened the defense of the east and west Gyeonggias. The troops were half more than before, so it was not easy for the Liao army to invade.

Seeing Guo Hao so cautious, Yelu Xian was a little disdainful. He thought you were not afraid of death, but he still pretended.
