Chapter 672 Comfort
Since the beginning of Nanzhao, the elites in Dali have been actively studying Han culture and respecting scholars. For them, it is undoubtedly a great joy for Guangzong and Dali to be able to take up prominent positions in the Nanzhao or Dali regimes established after the Central Plains dynasty system .
This is actually not a rare thing, as long as the small countries and small states around China basically have this kind of thinking, if the king can have the opportunity to be canonized by the Central Plains Dynasty, he will feel more proud and it will be very beneficial to rule. Emperor Gao is far away, who would want Baba to send envoys to pay tribute with treasures.
This has almost become the common value of native officials with high Han culture, and it has been the same for hundreds of years. Since Tang and Song Dynasties, Yunnan has often accepted the canonization of the Central Plains court.
"Who is Duan's envoy here?"
The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple replied: "The chief envoy is Duan Qiangna, the daughter-in-law of Duan Gong, the former general manager of Dali. The ministers and others will be welcomed into the Courtyard for placement according to the regulations, and will be summoned or escorted to In front of the Holy One."
Zhu Biao calculated silently in his heart, Duan Gong has been dead for seven years, he has no heirs with King Liang's daughter A Gai, Duan Bao and this Duan Qiangna should be the heirs of his original wife Gao Shi.
Although Duan Gong only has one son and one daughter, but the Duan family has existed for hundreds of years, and there are many children in the family. This time, a woman was chosen to be an envoy. The meaning is self-evident, either he or his father came .
Marriage is a method with extremely low cost and excellent effect at any time. Zhu Biao is not surprised, nor does he have any bad feelings. It is not shameful to bet with means.
The young minister of Honglu Temple is nearly fifty years old, so naturally there is nothing he can't see through, and he took the initiative to say: "My minister personally received the envoy of the Duan family. Qiu Wei has never been married, and her appearance is also outstanding."
In the eyes of the officials of Honglu Temple, the Duan family, who is now only the head of Dali, is naturally not as noble as before, but after all, it is also the Dali royal family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is still qualified to be a concubine for His Highness the Prince of Ming .
As a courtier, it is a big taboo to rashly mention a woman who is very likely to enter the palace in the future, but the old master looked calm, and Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said nothing. After all, it is still a matter of Yunnan.
What's more, Zhu Biao's mind has not changed so far. Yunnan is only suffering from scabies. After Sichuan and Guizhou are settled, as long as the court wants to, they can send their troops south at any time to quell dissatisfied officials. The most profitable thing is to kill Liang Wang and Duan's family.
There are many disadvantages of joining forces with the Duan family, and from the sentence Duan Bao just mentioned in the letter, "Either order the officials to follow the old example of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and pay tribute to the Heavenly Dynasty every year, or imitate the title of the Yuan Dynasty, so as to guard the old land." The main purpose of this letter is to use the power of Daming to solve Liang Wang.
Then I hope that Daming will follow the old system of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, or imitate the title of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, either canonize the Duan family as the king of Dali, or include Yunnan in name, but still have to recognize the Duan family’s influence on the old land of Yunnan. Take control.
In the final analysis, I still hope to return to the unique freedom under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty Jimi in the past-the princes who go out, and the emperor behind closed doors!
For their own survival and common interests, they must submit to and be loyal to the imperial court when necessary, and pay tribute every year to the imperial court.
It is not surprising that Duan Bao has such an idea. If Zhu Biao is in his position, he must have the same idea. Isn’t it the same for Naha Chu?
It's a pity that if you want to be self-reliant, you need to look at the time and capital. Duan Bao relied on his father, oh, no, it should be relying on the Ming Dynasty to destroy the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
What kind of thing is Duan Bao really? If his father Duan Gong Zhu Biao would have looked at him twice, he attacked Gutian Temple at night, repelled the defeated Ming Yuzhen with fire attacks, and defeated Ming Yuzhen at Qixingguan The soldiers and horses, the generals who finally regained Zhongqing Road and Kunming.
But it is the most outstanding talent of this family in the past hundred years, but it is also a passionate seed. He was deceived by the gentle township and ruined his family and life. To re-establish the country, there is no such thing as today.
"The palace gave a dinner, Honglu Temple kindly entertained, and the palace is summoning Duan's envoys tomorrow."
"What's going on in Chahan?"
The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple replied: "I haven't been to the garden these few days, but I heard that he hangs around the place of fireworks, and he hasn't made friends with anyone else."
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction, not only satisfied with Chahan's knowledge, but also satisfied with the fact that the Mongolian generals in the Beijing camp kept their duty. In fact, there were quite a few Mongolian generals and soldiers in the Ming Army, but so far none of them has a title.
Even the outstanding generals such as Huobima, Tian Baobao, Tuliebo, and Battelle are currently only the second-rank General Dingguo. In the period when the founding of the country was strong, General Dingguo was really not ranked in the army. On the number.
Chahan has lived in Beijing for so long, and Naha suddenly went mad and attacked Goryeo. Everyone basically knew it. At least, there will be a marquis in Mongolia.
It’s not high, but at least there is a small hill where you can hug for warmth. It is said that now is the best time to get together, but they don’t have it. This at least proves some loyalty.
To some extent, the Mongolian generals are actually much more reliable, because for them, the Yuan Dynasty is actually more hateful than under the Ming Dynasty, although it is said that his leader is their own race.
The Mongolian nobles oppressed not only the foreign Han people, but the ordinary Mongolian people and soldiers of the lower class were also their own private livestock slaves to them.
Military households from all over the country, including Mongolian military households, have to be brutally squeezed by him directly under Oulu. It is common to be deducted from the food and salaries of troops and horses, and they have to prepare their own expenses for daily expeditions. The food he ate and used had to sell his sons and daughters, so that his family was ruined.
In the great uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, although the stone man had one eye and stirred up the rebellion of the Yellow River as the starting point, in fact, the rebellion of Mongolian people and low-level soldiers started earlier. In the first year of Huangqing, an uprising of Mongolian people broke out in Cangzhou, Hebei. In the sixth year of Yanyou, in the territory of Yan Timur, king of Jin in the Yuan Dynasty, many Mongolian civilians also rose up to rebel. Ten years later, an uprising of Mongolian military households broke out in Shanxi.
When the great uprising broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were already more than 200 internal uprisings in the northern and northwest regions of the hinterland of the Yuan Dynasty...
During the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, those who hoped for the subjugation of the Yuan Dynasty were not only the old Zhu Chen Youliang Zhang Shicheng and other Han people, but also the vast number of Mongolian soldiers and civilians. The reason was that the Mongolian nobles oppressed too much.
Since Lao Zhu raised his banner and gathered troops to conquer the north and the south, at least hundreds of thousands of Mongolian military households have been taken in. Most of them were placed in the border areas to graze and raise horses. Those who were willing to enter the interior and transform into farming were placed in Hebei. , and the prefectures of Henan Province, and gave rice-growing cattle to open up wasteland to cultivate and feed themselves.
Only the most elite and best at horseback riding and archery were left in the army. Except for a few units left in the Beijing camp, most of them are now stationed in the southwest, and a small number have proved that they are incompatible with Yuan court.
Different from Huaixi Wuxun’s arrogance and domineering, Mongolian generals are silent and dare to fight bravely without fear of death. Of course, the premise of all this is that the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the barbarians are afraid of power and not virtuous.
But as long as they can ensure their own strength, they are indeed very useful, and they are also the best candidates for balancing the forces in the army. No matter where they are, they will not accept them. They have only one choice to be loyal to the throne.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said: "Pass down the oral order of the palace, let Chahan enter the Xiaoqi camp, and temporarily take the post of captain of the cavalry."
"No."
There are many Mongolian cavalry in the Xiaoqi Battalion. Zhu Biao has allowed Chahan to start befriending Mongolian generals. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later.
Since this is the case, why not give grace earlier, which is to further appease Naha's heart. People's thoughts are always erratic. The reason is repeated.
