Three days later, General Yang Zheng, another member of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Department who was stationed at Xingyuan Mansion on Lizhou Road, received a letter from Wu Lin. As expected, he was very happy to lead his army to surrender and declared his submission to the Qi Dynasty.
.
Seven days later, Guo Hao, who was inspecting Kuizhou Road and Gongzhou (later Chongqing), also received news that Wu Lin and Yang Zheng had surrendered to the Qi Dynasty. Although he was hesitant for a while, Wu Lin sent people forward one after another.
After all, the Song Dynasty has been replaced by the Qi Dynasty. Guo Hao knew that if he continued to support himself with troops, he might become a rebel army against the world. Although he was loyal to the Song Dynasty in the past, Guo Hao did not intend to simply surrender.
He was a grass-headed king who cut the land and caused chaos, but now he had no choice but to surrender and be co-opted by the Qi Dynasty.
Until Guo Hao's return, the last large-scale army of the Song Dynasty, commanded by the three generals of Xichuan, did not lose a single person. It guarded the vast territories including Sichuan, Chongqing, Shaanxi, south of the Qinling Mountains, and northern Guizhou. The vast territory was also peacefully controlled by the Qi Dynasty.
take over.
First, he successfully invaded Bianliang and forced the Song Dynasty officials to abdicate and submit. Now he was able to successfully recruit the four Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces to submit. Xiao Tang then took the meaning of "double celebration" and promoted Guo Hao to declare his surrender to the Qi Dynasty.
Although the official history of the Southern Song Dynasty Guangzong Zhao Dun was first named Prince Gong and then succeeded to the throne, it was also called a double celebration. The scene of promoting Gongzhou to Chongqing Prefecture will not happen again, but that treasure place can still be regarded as Chongqing.
The name and title also continued to later generations.
In recognition of Wu Lin's achievements, although his brother Wu Jie died of illness as a minister of the Song Dynasty, he was still granted the posthumous title of Shaoshi, with the posthumous title of Wu'an, and a temple was built to worship him.
As a result, Wu Jie's five sons received generous rewards and pensions. Among them, Wu Gong, the eldest son of Wu Jie, who had achieved one of the thirteen military achievements of the Zhongxing Dynasty in the official history, the victory over Cihu, was also able to go to the Bianjing Jiangwu Academy to practice bows with the descendants of the generals.
Horse martial arts, military management and military use will also be promoted and appointed after assessment.
Wu Lin was still guarding Sichuan and Shu, and served as the envoy to Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi Province. With his ability to support himself in farming, to govern the people, and to manage the army well, in the official history, Yue Fei was killed, and Han Shizhong retired to seclusion.
The Sichuan-Sichuan Song Army he commanded and supervised was also known as "the most elite soldier in the world". Even in the face of strong pressure from the Jin Army, it was still able to keep Xichuan intact. Now Xiao Tang certainly believes that Wu Lin will still be in charge of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Army.
It also helps to manage major military and political affairs and keep the administration in an orderly manner...
As for Guo Hao and Yang Zheng, the two famous generals in the army, in addition to assisting Wu Lin in taking charge of military garrison, border defense, training and other military and political affairs of the Sichuan and Shu tribes, they can also cooperate with the Qi Dynasty in future wars that will start sooner or later in the northwest.
The army set off for the expedition. In addition to the officials dispatched by the Qi Dynasty on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road to serve in the criminal and prison departments, transfer envoys and other road administration offices, the state governments, towns and counties, civil and military affairs were almost the same as the old system, and the people everywhere
They were not disturbed by the war at all and could still live and work in peace and contentment, but now they all became subjects under the rule of the Qi Dynasty.
After all, Liu Ziyu, who refused to surrender to the Qi Dynasty, accepted the official title and returned to his hometown together with his brother Liu Zihui, who had resigned earlier due to frailty. From then on, he was indifferent to fame and devoted his love to the mountains and rivers. Two or three years later, because of
After his old friend Zhu Song died of illness, Liu Ziyu accepted his son Zhu Xi as his adopted son, and then carefully taught and trained Zhu Xi to become a great Confucian. However, Zhu Xi was also influenced by Liu Ziyu's teachings. Although he was very knowledgeable, he also refused to serve as an official in the Qi Dynasty throughout his life. Such a situation
Later, although Zhu Xi's Confucian Neo-Confucianism was famous among the people for a while, it was not widely spread as a court official. The trajectory of dynasty changes in later generations was also very different. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism would no longer become a Confucian standard for people's thoughts and behaviors in later generations.
The foundation of statecraft...
After the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road was successfully surrendered, the rest of the territories in western Beijing, Jinghu, Qiangui, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Qiongzhou also surrendered. The Qi Dynasty controlled the entire Song Dynasty, bordering Dali and Jiaozhi in the south. The then King of Dali
Duan Zhengyan (also known as Duan Heyu) can also be said to be a wise ruler. He was gentle and gentle in diplomacy. Not only was he friendly with his surrounding neighbors, but he also surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Internally, he was also diligent and caring for the people, governed the country with kindness, and worked hard to reduce corvee taxes.
Xiao Tang also knew very well that the territory under his rule would soon be in contact with the Dali Kingdom. After some thought, he summoned Yan Qing and told him: "Passengers were ordered to send envoys from Honglu Temple to Dali for an audience.
Duan Zhengyan, please be gentle and appease him, and explain that our dynasty will follow the system of the Song Dynasty. He will be granted the title of Jin Ziguanglu, Doctor, Inspector of Schools, Sikong, Yunnan Jiedushi, Shangzhu Kingdom, and the Lord King of Dali will be granted the title of Lord. Our Qi dynasty and Dali
The two states are still communicating with each other in accordance with the Song Dynasty's precedent of diplomatic etiquette, and living in harmony with each other. According to what I know, during that period, the government was solemn and benevolent, and it was gentle to the outside world, so I must be willing to comply. When things are done, our court will immediately issue imperial edicts and Dali.
We will then send envoys back and forth to discuss various matters such as tribute and mutual trade between the two parties. Guo Hao was informed that his troops would patrol the southwest border. Since the southern corner of Sichuan and Sichuan and Dali had always been in peace, it was expected that there would be no
A dispute arises by mistake..."
Originally, the Dali Kingdom was also a territorial territory in the southwest of China in later generations. Xiao Tang thought that it would be best to merge it into the Qi Dynasty during his reign. However, Duan Zhengyan, the king, never resorted to war with the outside world and was able to fight internally.
He taught the people of all the tribes in the southwest to live and work in peace and contentment, and even assassins assassinated him. Duan praised the two and released them for their loyalty to the old master. On the contrary, he was so embarrassed that the two assassins committed suicide, and Duan Zhengyan ordered to build a martyrs' tomb for them. In this way
No. 1, a kind and compassionate old man, is the king of Dali. If he has to forcefully use force at this time, not only will he lose his name, but also for the people of the Dali Kingdom, the Qi Dynasty that was established in the Central Plains after the Song Dynasty will not be a savior for the people.
The imperial division of the previous dynasty will also be an outright invader in their eyes...
What's more, of course Xiao Tang also knew very well that Duan Zhengyan, King of Dali, was the prototype figure who had a close relationship with the great hero of Xiao's ancestor according to the trajectory of that martial arts book.
It is estimated that Duan Zhengyan, the current king of Dali, is already in his seventies. Will he be accompanied by that fairy sister and two confidantes who he originally thought were half-mothers... Xiao Tang also thought about what if there was a chance.
At that time, I also wanted to visit this archetypal character who had read many books about martial arts in later generations and had seen several versions of it in related movies and TV series. However, if we follow the trajectory of official history, it is estimated that it will only be a few years later.
, Duan Zhengyan will also abdicate and become a monk according to the common practice of Dali monarchs entering their twilight years...
Together with Duan Zhengyan's grandson, I don't know if he will have the chance to become one of the "Five Wonders of the Central Plains" in the future. Although Dali has many genuine "Buddhist kings", Xiao Tang said in his heart that now I respect you as a wise king who governs the country, and it is not appropriate to start a war in vain.
But within a few years, Dali's Gao family's powerful ministers were monopolizing power, and the Duan family's internal strife and external rebellions intensified... Now they are just planning and deploying, and they have no choice but to use it when the contradictions in the domestic political struggle in Dali reach their peak.
The military took the opportunity to march out and conquer Dali... Although there is no guarantee that at this time, an aggressive war will be launched. After all, according to the current trend of the situation, there will no longer be Mongolian invasion of the south and the destruction of Dali.
Incorporate into the territory of the Central Plains regime. At least try to choose a relatively suitable time to send troops. At that time, the resistance of the people of Dali will be minimized.
When you, the benevolent king, become frustrated and choose to become a monk, it will be the best time for our Qi Dynasty to take the opportunity to use troops against Dali, so that the land of Yunnan and Dian will forever belong to the territory of the orthodox regime of the Central Plains.
