Zhu Biao had no expression on his face as he listened to Duan Qiangna's explanation. The death of the Ming envoy was indeed the fault of King Liang, but that didn't mean that the Duan family was innocent, as they were members of the royal family that had been in power for hundreds of years.
There is absolutely no problem in escorting a few envoys out of the country safely. It can only be said that they still don't want Ming to intervene, but they don't have the guts to refuse. It would be perfect to just sit back and watch King Liang's evil intentions.
"Okay, in that case, I, the Ming Dynasty, will respond to your request. You can reply immediately and ask your brother Duan Bao to mobilize all his troops. I will also issue an edict and order the general who conquers the west to send his troops south. The remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty will be gone soon.
It can be pacified, and I, the Ming Dynasty, will certainly give you a generous reward."
You must know that the Duan family is still somewhat powerful now. Although Duan Gong is a benevolent woman, she is not without success. She fought and won many battles and finally regained Zhongqing Road and Kunming, bringing the glory of the Duan family in Dali back to life.
Many local aristocratic families in Dali reunited under the Duan family.
In addition, the King of Liang poisoned Duan Gong, which was not honorable and not enough to convince people. If everyone just used this method, why bother to raise troops and train assassins wholeheartedly?
After Duan Gong's death, King Liang wanted to eradicate the roots and regain his power. He launched seven attacks, but was defeated by the Duan family. If it were in the past, the local families in Dali would be afraid of Yuanting behind King Liang, but not now, after a hundred years.
Even if a thousand-year-old family tried its best, King Liang could not get any benefit.
Finally, under the mediation of Yang Sheng, the governor of Heqing, the war was stopped and peace was made. King Liang wrote a letter to declare Duan Bao as Zuocheng of Yunnan. The two sides were bounded by the Jinji Temple on the Erhe River, with the south belonging to King Liang and the north belonging to the Duan family.
If the Duan family is open and willing to cooperate internally and externally, Yunnan can indeed be easily pacified, but then Yunnan will only be in a state of control. Guizhou is already difficult to control. If Yunnan is added to the mix, I am afraid that if the Ming Dynasty weakens, they will
Change the flag and stand on your own feet.
Historically, after the Ming Dynasty eliminated Queen Liang, the Duan family was escorted to the capital. The two legitimate sons of the Duan family, one named Gui Ren and the other named Gui Yi, were sent to Yongchang Guard and Yanmen respectively as governors of the Ming Dynasty.
He went to defend the border, and then let the Mu family control Yunnan...
Duan Qiangna begged with a beautiful frown: "Your Highness, I, the Duan family, can only rely on the natural dangers to defend ourselves. It is really difficult to send troops to help. I am sincerely not unintentional..."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Then what use do you Duan and I, Daming, have?"
"Your Highness, my Duan family originally belonged to the clan of the commander-in-chief of Wuwei County in the Han Dynasty. The ancestor Duan Baizhen once served as the prefect of the Western Han Dynasty. Although the Duan family established a country on its own in the past, it is still of Han descent. Together with the Langqiong barbarians in Yunnan, they settled in Guangnan.
The other barbarians are different."
"If we can get the support of the host country and restore the country, I, the Duan family of Dali, will always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty royal family. We will pay tribute every year and come to the court every year. All the princes and princes of the past generations will go to the capital to bathe and teach us. This is our sincerity!"
Seeing that Zhu Biao did not respond, Duan Qiangna continued to persuade: "Dali is a remote place, with many barbarians and few Han people, who cannot be educated. The Liaoyuan of the Celestial Empire is vast and the people are abundant. Why does it need this place? In the past, Song Taizu used a jade ax to draw the Dadu River as a
Realm, I don’t have anything else to say.”
Zhao Kuangyin did say this. His general Wang Quanbin pacified Hou Shu and wanted to use his victory to destroy Dali. He submitted a map of Dali to Zhao Kuangyin for instructions. Zhao Kuangyin believed that the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty was caused by the conquest of Nanzhao.
As a result, he used a jade ax to draw the Dadu River and said that this is not mine. This is an allusion to the Song Dynasty wielding a jade ax.
From Zhao Kuangyin's point of view, in fact, his decision was not wrong. If it were Zhu Biao, he would definitely have made this choice. Dali at that time was not a small country. It could be said to be a powerful country that dominated the southwest region, and its jurisdiction covered the area today.
Yunnan, southwestern Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan, and parts of Myanmar, Laos, and northern Vietnam.
According to the national strength of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to decide in one battle. The continuous investment of troops later would only bring down the newly established regime. What's more, there were Northern Han and Khitan to the north at that time. Without the Sixteen States of Yanyun,
Once the Khitan cavalry marched south while the Song army was still on the southwest border, it would be the end of the iron cavalry.
But the Ming Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty after all. In the few years since the founding of the country, the iron cavalry has swept across the country, and the enemy has been silent all over the world. There is no need to use too many soldiers and horses to swallow up Yunnan, and the Mongolian forces in the northern frontier are not enough to break through the defense line.
Gutan
Duan Qiangna's posture was very low, and her buttocks were raised quite high, but these were not enough to affect Zhu Biao's thinking. Since he intended to take over Nanyang, the Duan family in Dali and even the aboriginal clans had to be cleaned up.
The only problem why we haven't started a major war yet is that the Ming Dynasty is short of people. Relocating people to expand the territory and open up new territories requires a large number of young people. This is the simplest thing at any stage of the dynasty. The problem has always been too many people.
Little land.
But it happened that in this period of chaos that had just ended, although the imperial court had tried its best to encourage marriage and children, the results still took time. We couldn't just send children who couldn't walk yet to places like Yunnan and Guizhou. If it was for future generations, it would be a good place.
, but now...
As the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded, Zhu Biao really wished that the people would have two children a year. It would take more than ten years to have him. It would be better for a family to have more than a dozen children. This would be enough to fill the territory. Otherwise, what is the use of just occupying the land?
If you just send troops to station, and there are no Han people in the area to clear up wasteland and cultivate supplies, there is no need for foreign enemies. Their military supplies alone are enough to bring down the Ming Dynasty's finances.
Zhu Biao rubbed his eyes in annoyance. Duan Qiangna actually wanted to step forward and sit in the crown prince's arms to give him a blowjob. Unfortunately, the people around her would definitely not allow her, a daughter of a small barbarian country, to get close to him.
Since her father's death, the main lineage of the Duan family has only been their two siblings. Originally, the envoy who came for this trip was supposed to choose an uncle from a side lineage, but she invited herself just to stay with the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince and serve her without any request.
No matter how high your status is, you must at least be able to speak.
Only in this way can the Duan family's honor and dignity be preserved for hundreds of years when the Ming Dynasty invades Yunnan. The Ming Dynasty is not comparable to the Song Dynasty, and they know this very well.
"Your Highness may not know that before the foreign envoy set out, the King of Liang, in order to appease my Duan family, issued an edict in the name of Emperor Shun, saying Zhongqinmaozhuo. The father and son were loyal and conquered the Czech Republic. However, in the midst of the chaos of the army and horses, there were wars and chaos.
At this time, not only the distant dynasty but also the chaos should be quelled, so it is appropriate to show the best number, in order to highlight the benefits of Kuangji, and to be promoted to Duke Wu Ding. He is still in charge of the military and civilian government of Dali. He will live up to his original intention, protect the world forever, and bring glory to you.
Akagi in infinity”
"The King of Liang wanted to use his position as Duke of Wuding to win over the Duan family to fight against the Ming Dynasty. My brother responded with a poem saying that the beacon fire, wolf smoke and smoke did not match the letter. The performance in Lishan was an arrogance. Pingzhang was wasted in the red tent, and the officials were in vain to inscribe the pink jade picture. Feng Farewell
The auspicious omens of Qishan are hidden, and the auspicious light in the outskirts of Lin is gone. Since the boundary has been divided, success or failure, joy or sorrow, does not belong to me."
What Duan Qiangna wanted to express was that they were incompatible with King Liang, but Zhu Biao knew better that if he sent troops into Yunnan without an agreement, Duan Bao would definitely not care about the revenge of killing his father. No matter what they said now, they would be in despair.
relation.
Duan Qiangna is also very anxious now. After saying so much, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty still has an expression on his face. Obviously, these are not enough to sway his mind. Is God going to destroy my Duan family?
Duan Qiangna felt the sourness in her heart, two lines of hot tears flowed down her face, and she cried: "When I was leaving, I wrote a poem to my brother, saying, "Coral hooks lift out of the boudoir, and your eyes are dripping with wet clothes." Bingjian grew up in front of the silver table, with golden branches and jade leaves.
The scenery is beautiful. Birds are flying around frequently, and the fragrance of sweet osmanthus and plum blossoms is not gone for a moment. I feel sad that my compatriots cannot bear to say goodbye. You should know that the focus of hatred is pale and low."
After bowing again, he stood up slowly, pulling on his slim clothes with bare hands. The look of firmness in his brows and eyes was no longer there, only the softness and sadness remained, and the white and delicate collarbones and deep ditches gradually appeared...
The eunuchs waiting on the side quickly lowered their heads, and Liu Jin did the same, but his eyes were still fixed on Duan Qiangna's shadow. If there was any abnormal movement, he would immediately take down it. Nothing was more important than His Highness's safety.
The maids stared with disdain at the so-called Princess of Dali. She was indeed from a small barbarian country. She was not even as good as a good girl from an ordinary family in the Ming Dynasty. She actually seduced His Highness the Crown Prince in such a despicable manner!
