Chapter 2099 There is a Pei Qingtian in Yanjing, the iron-faced selfless defense of loyalty and trea
The Duan clan of Dali indeed seemed to have a much more Buddhist nature than the emperors of other countries. Knowing that the situation was difficult to reverse, Duan Zhengxing and Gao Liangcheng also decided to surrender to the Qi Dynasty. So far, except for a few tribes who were unwilling to submit, the territory of Dali was still occupied.
In addition to the dangerous resistance, the entire territory was also included in the territory of the Qi Dynasty.
The Xiaotang Dynasty established road governance in the lands of Yunnan, Sichuan, Shu, southwest Guizhou and Guizhou, and even in the northern areas of Myanmar, as well as some areas in Laos and Vietnam that were originally governed by the Dali Kingdom. Of course, for Duan Zhengxing and even the Dali clan, the leaders of each department
They also adopted a policy of gentleness, allowing them to return to continue to rule the tribes and tribes originally belonging to them. They also established a Xuanwei Envoy, and still appointed the Duan family as the general manager of Dali for generations, and recruited the leaders of the tribes in the southwestern frontier according to the chieftain system that reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty.
"There is a place for everyone, a people for everyone, a military for everyone, a position for everyone, a place for everyone"... But from now on, the identity belongs to the Central Plains regime, and it will no longer be a separate country.
At least in normal times, the chieftain system can indeed have a very positive impact on China's maintenance of control of the southwest territory. As for the shortcomings that will eventually be exposed as time goes by...even if in the future we will eventually have to take measures such as reforming the land and returning it to the locals.
The policy is to strengthen centralization, but it cannot be done now. What I can do is to strengthen the cultural exchanges and economic support between the Central Plains and the people of this newly destroyed country, and from this era, try to deepen the various ethnic groups in the southwest as much as possible from this era.
The process of establishing a sense of belonging and identity among the tribal people will take at least several generations or even more than a dozen generations to settle.
Xiao Tang could not control what happened a few hundred years later, but at least some institutional measures had been confirmed by official history. So now that he was trying to recruit all the tribes in Dali, at least the general direction would not be wrong.
As for the Southeast Asian countries such as Bagan, Annan, Luohu, Siam, etc. surrounding the former Dali Kingdom, Xiao and Tang no longer accidentally expanded their invasions, and instead sent envoys to negotiate with each country. Taking Dali as a lesson,
I am afraid that Bagan, Luohu and other states will also be suspicious of the Qi Dynasty and may suddenly turn against the Qi Dynasty and launch an invasion. Although they are frightened and frightened, they will certainly not dare to trigger border disputes.
Frankly speaking, Xiao and Tang tried their best to recuperate, replenish the national treasury, and reduce the frequency of launching national wars in successive years. However, over the years, they have destroyed the Jin Dynasty, swallowed up the Song Dynasty, and overthrew the Xia Kingdom and Dali. Officials have already appeared in the court and began to give advice.
The Xiao and Tang Dynasties should not be happy with their achievements, and their opinions on war weariness and anti-war certainly have their reasons. After all, every war inevitably consumes a huge amount of financial and military resources, and a large number of soldiers are inevitably killed and injured, and after all, we cannot blindly engage in military warfare.
Therefore, Xiao Tang's current strategic goals, in addition to the Tubo tribes with many separate political powers, large and small, are only the empire in the west.
A large amount of money, food and military supplies were continuously transported to Guazhou, Shazhou and other areas located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, which were taken over by the Fang. Li Yun, Tao Zongwang and other officials in charge of construction and fortifications also rushed to Hexi to manage and supervise the construction.
Even the affairs of the inns and military towns along the way to the Western Regions. Now that the Qi Dynasty has annexed the Xia Kingdom, it has the ability to launch military operations against the empire in the west that has restored the Liao Dynasty with relatively sufficient logistical supplies.
As for Yelu Dashi, they will definitely not remain indifferent, and will probably use the Xizhou Uighurs, an affiliated force bordering the Xia Kingdom, as a springboard to mobilize troops. However, the war preparations required by this huge empire far away from the center of the political power will also need to last for a period of time.
At this time, just as the Qi Dynasty was recuperating and preparing for war, arranging officials to take over the affairs of the Xia Kingdom and Dali's various offices, some of the heroes in the court also needed to make personnel changes and continue to show their talents for state affairs.

"After I returned to Liangshan Bo Cemetery to pay homage to Brother Deng Fei and other close friends who died in state affairs, I went north to Yanjing to take up my post. Since Xianggong Sun and Lin Tiju took over the task of sorting out the files and names in advance, I felt at ease. ....."
In the Yushitai office of Daming Prefecture, Pei Xuanzheng gave a long instruction. He was originally from Kong Mu, the Sixth Case of Jingzhao Prefecture, and was praised by the world as an iron-faced man because of his uprightness. However, Pei Xuan is now the official official position of the Censor Zhongcheng. As the top leader of the central supervisory authority of the Qi Dynasty, he has always done his duty. Whether it is the Liangshan faction or the civil servants and generals who were demoted from Song and Jin Dynasties, he is determined not to show any kindness to his colleagues because of the mutual defense of officials. Many officials in the imperial court were in awe of him. Over time, Pei Xuan's nickname changed from "Iron-faced Censor" to "Iron-faced Censor".
But now Pei Xuan has been transferred to Yanjing as the prefect, and is in charge of Yinzhengjidian. He teaches the people the law and encourages them to teach. Under the rule of Fang Yanjing, all the jails and lawsuits are accepted and listened to. He makes special decisions on small matters and reports on big ones. This is also true. This was due to the consideration of pre-inspection of the capital's litigation, legal principles, strict laws and other matters before moving the capital. In the court of Daming Mansion, Han Qixian, who was good at cultivating and appointing talents in governing the country, recommended people to take over the Yushitai. Pei Xuan, along with the original Sun Ding, who served in Yushitai, and Lin Ren, who was in charge of Yushitai Prison, could be transferred to Yanjing according to Xiao Tang's dispatch.
The three of them are old partners who are in charge of law enforcement, picketing and impeachment, handling special cases, and even escorting officials to prison for trial. Pei Xuan, Sun Ding, and Lin Ren have certainly become very familiar with each other after getting along with each other over the years. Now after listening to Pei Xuan's instructions, Sun Ding smiled slightly, and then said: "Censor Pei does not need to rush to Yanjing. Your Majesty has promised to teach the officials of the Yanjing government office and remain in charge of political affairs until the censor takes office." .This is also because I sympathize with the censor’s hard work over the years and take advantage of the opportunity to take a break during the transfer.
The brothers and sisters who reunited with the censor in Yinmachuan... In addition to General Deng, who lamented that he had died for his country and had to pay homage to him, there was also Guan Mengdu who was now supervising the construction of sea ships in Hangzhou. They had not seen him for a long time. We meet each other, and now I can go and talk about old friendship with Meng Duguan in my free time... Yanjing also has me and Lin Tiju taking care of the affairs, so there is no need for the censor Xianggong to worry."
Originally, Pei Xuan was the censor Zhongcheng who supervised the imperial court and even local ministers. Naturally, he was also an important figure closely related to the career and achievements of court officials. No matter what the purpose, it was inevitable that officials would come and try to get close to Pei Xuan. In order to put an end to favoritism among bureaucrats, Pei Xuan would hardly accept any favors or favors. Over time, he often kept a straight face, which made many officials who tried to have a relationship with him stay away. He just looked upright and serious all day long. He is very serious, and he truly lives up to his reputation as an "Iron Mask".
But now after listening to Sun Ding's words, Pei Xuan smiled knowingly, and then sighed loudly: "Yes... Over the past many years, Pei has fulfilled his duties with a clear conscience, and he does not know how many colleagues he has offended during this period. .. Fortunately, our dynasty has a clear and clear rule of law. It will not be like the old Song dynasty. Pei and Sun Xianggong worked hard to uphold the law, but they ended up being framed by powerful traitors. Now you and I can finally enforce the law impartially. , to be an upright official and to be able to have all the official status and fame I have now, even if I work hard all day long, it is worth it... I have not been working at the imperial censor's desk for a long time, but now I can enjoy a moment of leisure, and I don't have to work hard anymore. Face-checking the officials, it’s time to meet the old sworn brothers, and my heart is indeed relaxed and happy.”
