Chapter 2098 Xixia Kingdom is destroyed, Dali Kingdom is destroyed
Li Renxiao, the leader of the Xia Kingdom, sent envoys to the Qi army camp to offer surrender and surrender. From then on, most of the other armies in the Xia Kingdom had to give up resistance, open the city gates, and wait for the Qi army to retreat.
When the kings and ministers of the Xia Kingdom surrendered, and the news that the Pingxia War was completed reached Daming Mansion, Xiao Tang of course treated Li Renxiao, the surrender king who could understand the situation well, with a kind edict and promised him a duke's salary and descendants of the clan.
The treatment was also the same as before, and another fiefdom was selected to dispatch troops and horses to watch the royal family of the original Xia Kingdom move and settle down.
Then Xiao Tang looked at the list of Xia Dynasty officials who were willing to surrender along with Li Renxiao and looked at the name O Daochong. He thought that this was not an unexpected surprise. After all, O Daochong was a central official in official history.
The Xian Prime Minister of the Xia State was not only academically accomplished, but also had the courage to fight when Ren Dejing, the minister of the state of Qi, was in power, and was praised as a role model by officials in the DPRK. According to his original trajectory, he should have served as the prime minister of the Xia State for more than ten years and governed with integrity.
, lived a frugal life, and according to historical records, "the family had no personal savings, only books and a bed." Naturally, he was a virtuous and famous official with clean sleeves and uprightness. He also played a decisive role in the prosperity of Renzong's governance during the Li Renxiao period of the Xia Kingdom.
Since Ao Daochong was an upright and loyal minister of the Xia State, it was said that he was very likely to surrender to Li Renxiao and commit suicide when the Xia State fell.
It is also very likely that because of Li Renxiao's persuasion and entrustment, he was able to save his life and benefit the people...
After all, the country is broken and the mountains and rivers are still there. Although the Xia Kingdom and the Zuo Kingdom are cut off, the Dangxiang, the Han family and even the people of all tribes and tribes in the country still have to live and multiply on this land.
If the officials of the Xia State, represented by Aodaochong, are really willing to be used by the Qi Dynasty, it will definitely have an immediate effect in recruiting the soldiers and civilians of the Xia State to obey and re-establish a stable post-war order as soon as possible. However, Xiao Tang used Xia State to
The rebel forces in the country invaded the country on a large scale. After all, they were the invaders. The various tribes of the Xia Kingdom might not necessarily buy into the popular reputation they had accumulated throughout the Song Dynasty. Even if Li Renxiao led a group of ministers to surrender to the Qi Dynasty,
Most of the regular troops and horses have given up resistance, but there are still leaders of various tribes in Hexi areas who lead their people to resist the Qi army and refuse to surrender. Even if they cannot defend the city walls, they become horse bandits and cause trouble everywhere.
.The Qi armies of various tribes could not help but dispatch troops to conquer and suppress, and the war-torn chaos in the Xia Kingdom would still continue for a period of time...
Even so, the soldiers and people of the Xia State who had to accept the rule of the Qi Dynasty after the country's subjugation would probably have been burned, killed, and robbed by the Mongolian army according to the original trajectory.
The miserable fate of the country's clans being slaughtered was much better.
Four days later, the troops and horses of the Dali tribes led by Xiao Jiasui and Liu Qi also reported a great victory. The troops united at Longshou Pass to attack together and defeated the Dali defenders. Within seven days,
Taking advantage of the great victory, they conquered the capital of Dali. Prime Minister Gao Liangcheng and King Duan Zhengxing fled with their remnants. It is located just outside Dali City, north of Zhongyue Peak in Cangshan Mountain. It was built in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. After the kings of Dali abdicated, they all became monks and ordained here.
The Chongsheng Temple (also known as Tianlong Temple) where the monks lived was also occupied by the Qi army.
Xiao Jiasui ordered the soldiers of the various battalions to guard the key entrances and exits of Chongsheng Temple, and strictly ordered the soldiers and horses not to enter and disturb the monks in the temple. Instead, he personally led a group of personal followers to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor Duan Zhengyan, who had become a monk, and to tell the truth.
He came here to advise Duan Zhengyan and even the monks in the temple not to act rashly, and promised not to harm the descendants of the clan.
Originally, it was due to the fierce internal strife among the powerful officials in Dali that the princes fought internally and externally, and fought against each other.
Duan Zhengyan, who was mentally exhausted and even more discouraged, chose to become a Zen monk and became a monk. He knew that the Qi Dynasty's demise in Dali was probably the general trend. In addition, he was the most kind-hearted person and did not want to let the people under Dali's rule suffer war disasters again.
The war was causing a lot of damage. So he just listened to Xiao Jiasui's advice. Instead, Duan Zhengyan showed a peaceful and relieved smile, and said with emotion: "The hegemony of the dynasty, whether fame and wealth are gained or lost... Suffering is not suffering, happiness is not happiness, the world is just
Disturbed by temporary obsessions, my Duan family in Dali has worshiped Buddhism for generations. After the king abdicated, he began to understand Buddhism. However, it was probably due to being hijacked by the powerful officials of the Gao family for generations... Those who show mercy to the Buddha are compassionate, and those who are kings of the country
As long as one should be diligent in government and love the people, it is a pity that the incompetence of the poor monks has caused the descendants of the clan to fight against each other and fight against each other, causing political turmoil. The tribes often rebelled and the people under the rule suffered miserably...
If the country's clan only strives for power and gains without caring about blood and family ties, and does not care about caring for the people, the throne will become an obstacle to obsession, and it will inevitably ruin the foundation of the ancestors. After all, the poor monk will be ashamed of the Duan family's ancestors, but he has already become a powerful person.
It is irreversible. If the descendants of the Duan family can get rid of their obsessions and sincerely worship the Buddha from now on, cultivating the merits of cause and effect, and no longer hate each other because of fame and position, it will not be a good thing... I hope that Master Xiao can keep his promise.
, Treat the descendants of the Duan clan well, your dynasty will be benevolent to the people, and under the grace of Dali, the people of all ethnic groups can live and work in peace and contentment... Now that the poor monk has escaped into Buddhism, he has nothing else to ask for..."
Duan Zhengyan, a wise ruler who governed the country with benevolence, could not help but be hijacked by the powerful officials of the Gao family during his reign. He was also unable to prevent the Duan family's descendants from becoming monks because they were fighting against each other as the head of the country. It is conceivable that not only was his heart broken
It is clear that he looks at the secular world as if it were passing by, and agreeing with the Qi Dynasty's attitude of conquering Dali does not seem like hypocrisy. And since he, the abdicated king who is well-known in Dali, does not care about worldly affairs, he also accepts the current overlapping of political power.
In fact, all the barbarians in the country and even the subordinate forces around Dali, such as Chi Tuge, Luo Luosi, Ziman Boli, etc., also surrendered and obeyed, and accepted the recruitment and recruitment of the Qi armies led by Xiao Jiasui and Liu Qi.
From then on, Duan Zhengxing, the leader of the Dali Kingdom, and Gao Liangcheng, the Prime Minister, led the remaining troops to flee southward in embarrassment. The only areas under their control were Menglu (later Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province), Yongchang Prefecture, and Weichu Prefecture (divided from Yongchang Prefecture).
It belongs to several state capitals in the area east and west of the Lancang River in Pu'er City) and Xiushan County (near the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in later generations).
Xiao Jiasui and Liu Qi led their armies to press forward step by step, approaching the borders of Weichu Mansion. Brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao led the elite mountain infantry to fight in Xiushan, and also captured several key military strongholds. Liu Qi immediately sent envoys
Go to meet Duan Zhengxing, Gao Liangcheng, first conveyed Duan Zhengyan's oral instructions, and then advised that the situation of Qi Dynasty's conquest of Dali has finally been decided, and the remaining people are unable to resist in vain. Taking advantage of the temporary truce for now,
Duan Zhengxing and Gao Liangcheng also need to be aware of the current situation. At any rate, they can still get a generous seal from the Qi Dynasty if they surrender now. If they are still stubborn, they will not end up well sooner or later, and they will still be unable to continue the Dali Kingdom.
...
It is said that the remnants of the Dali army relied on the dangerous terrain and mountains of southern Yunnan to still resist and hold on for a while, and then ascended to the throne and supported the crown prince Duan Zhengxing to win the battle for the country. This is indeed a great talent and strategy. Among the civil servants and generals of Dali today
A truly outstanding person.
However, according to his original destiny trajectory, during his period in the phase, Gao Liang was very successful in governing the government and the people, and establishing the country. However, he was eventually usurped by his nephew Gao Zhenshou during the campaign against the Wuman rebels in Dali. His position in the country was
Ji Renchen's power and position were usurped by the younger members of the clan, but Gao Liangcheng's reaction was to surrender suddenly, so he abdicated and dismissed from office, and returned to the Zixi Mountain, the fiefdom of his ancestors, on the border of Chuxiong, where he built a hut and lived as a hermit.
He cared for the orphans and widows, taught his children, and was praised as a gentleman among the Yi people. Later generations of literati also said that he did not care about fame and fortune, and was better than the Duke of Zhou.
Now Fang Zi has become the prime minister of a country with overwhelming power, but due to the massive infringement of the Qi Dynasty, his fame and honor may eventually be reduced to nothing. With his high-achieving nature, he is definitely not a greedy person.
Gao Liangcheng, a descendant of the Gao family, still escaped unscathed and tried his best to preserve the Duan clan in Dali. Gao Liangcheng seemed to have realized his relief earlier than his original trajectory, and gave advice to Duan Zhengxing, who had just succeeded to the throne.
After careful discussion, the monarch and prime minister of Dali could not help sighing in the end, but they had already made a decision...
