Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The Lifan Courtyard is located on the west side of Yanjing City. It is quite secluded and the environment inside is extremely beautiful.

An Pulin and Li Rui walked among them, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Now I finally know why the Han people didn't take the initiative to attack us. It turned out to be a civil and military struggle! It was the national policy of the Song Dynasty to promote culture and suppress martial arts. It's still the same now! But this gives us Koreans a chance!" An Pulin said softly.

"Yes, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is a formidable character. In just two or three years, the Yanyun area has become so prosperous! Their national power, financial power, and military power are all better than ours. If the civil and military forces attack us wholeheartedly, Our Koryo has only a dead end! Now it’s good, we have time to develop slowly! After ten or twenty years, we will rely on the land of Liaodong, the population is large, and the national strength will become stronger and stronger. At that time, we can truly I have competed with Da Song." Li Rui also said with a smile on his face.

"However, the people of Song made us Koryo to be vassals. This is not easy!" An Pulin said.

"Being a minister is just a matter of face! We used to be ministers to the Tang Dynasty, and then we were ministers to the Khitan people and the Jurchens, and now it is nothing to be a minister to the Song Dynasty! We lost face, but we got Liaodong. Such a deal can be done !" Li Rui laughed.

"It's just that His Majesty and General Cui Zhuo may not be able to agree." An Pulin said.

"No matter what, we have to convince them," Li Rui said.

An Pulin nodded.

The two of them entered the courtyard where they were, and at this moment the Goryo attendants had already greeted them.

There are several big houses in the yard, they headed towards the middle room, just when they came to the door of the room, they found a young man sitting in the room, it was Duan Heming, a son of the Duan family in Dali.

"The two adults are back?" Duan Heming stood up and said with a smile.

"Please sit down quickly!" An Pulin nodded and said.

When Duan Heming continued to sit down, An Pulin and Li Rui also sat there after changing the court clothes outside.

"This is our Korean ginseng tea, what do you think, Brother Duan?" An Pulin said.

"Very good! I've heard that Korean ginseng is famous all over the world, as expected!" Duan Heming said.

"The products are different from the south to the north! This time we came to Song Dynasty, and brought some gifts to the emperor and ministers of Song Dynasty. When Brother Duan returns, we will also give some of the gifts to Brother Duan." An Pulin said.

"Since these gifts are given to the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, how dare Duan accept them?" Duan Heming said hastily.

"Hey, what's the point? You are an envoy from Dali, and our two countries are all around Song Dynasty, so we just made friends with each other." An Pulin said with a smile.

"Judging from the expressions of the two adults, today's negotiation seems to be going well?" Duan Heming said with a smile.

"The Song people have agreed to peace talks! They are willing to give up some cities in Liaodong, but they want us to spend money to buy them!" An Pulin said.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? There are still people in the world who use money to buy cities?" Duan Heming asked in disbelief.

"The Song Dynasty just went through wars, and the treasury was empty, so we just needed money! We have traveled along the way, and the Great Song Dynasty is indeed prosperous, but it is just a fake!" An Pulin said.

Duan Heming frowned, with a puzzled look on his face.

"As long as the contract is signed, we can truly own Liaodong!" Li Rui said.

"Did the Song people say how much money they have?" Duan Heming asked.

"Not really." An Pulin said.

"Strange." Duan Heming murmured.

"Da Song actually wants to negotiate with us, so we can't say more about the reason! Brother Duan, haven't you met the Emperor of Song?" An Pulin said.

"No, I don't know why, His Majesty didn't summon me." Duan Heming murmured.

"It's a pity not to go out and have fun when you come to this prosperous place in Yanjing! When you came here just now, you saw a brothel at the door, people come and go, brother Duan, you are the youngest, you should like these the most! Although we didn't sign a contract today, Da Song does have the intention to negotiate peace with us, and I'll be happy in my heart, let's go, we invite you to play in the brothel." An Pulin is over sixty years old, but his body is extremely strong, so he stood up immediately Get up, said.

"Little brother really doesn't have such a mood." Duan Heming smiled wryly.

He originally thought that since he arrived yesterday, he would definitely be able to meet the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty today, but who knows that there is no news now, so how can he be in the mood to hang out.

"In that case, the two of us will go out for some fun, Brother Duan will stay in the Lifan Courtyard." An Pulin laughed loudly.

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was getting dark, An Pulin and Li Rui had already got up and headed towards the Imperial Palace of Yanjing City.

Duan Heming was still waiting in the room depressed, but after an hour, an official from the Li Fanyuan came in and said, "Mr. Duan, please follow us to the palace, His Majesty wants to summon you!"

Duan Heming was taken aback for a moment, and then with a happy expression on his face, he said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

When Duan Heming also headed towards the palace under the leadership of the officials of the Lifan Academy, he was both excited and apprehensive.

"I traveled in the Song Dynasty for half a year, and investigated the situation of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. I also investigated the situation in various parts of the Song Dynasty. I even saw the army training of the Song Dynasty with my own eyes. It really is a powerful army in the world, no one can stop it! If we can get Dali's help this time, we will definitely be able to solve the plight of Dali!" Duan He secretly said.

He thought about how he would speak and plead in his mind later, and he had already entered the palace without knowing it, but he didn't have the heart to look at the scenery of the palace at all.

Not long after, he came to the imperial study room, where he saw Zhao Chen, and Dang even knelt down.

"Let's get down! There are seats there, sit down by yourself." Zhao Chen said.

"Subjects of a small country dare not sit down." Duan Heming said anxiously with his head down.

"If you are told to sit down, sit down! We have to discuss a lot of things, how can you do it while standing?" Zhao Chen said.

Duan Heming sat down on the side. He looked at Zhao Chen quietly, and felt that there seemed to be a gentle smile on Zhao Chen's face.

"Has Your Majesty seen the credentials submitted by the villain?" Duan Heming said.

"I've seen it! Your name is Duan Heming, and the current ruler of Dali is Duan Heyu. What's your relationship?" Zhao Chen said.

"The current ruler of Dali is the little brother!" Duan Heming said.

"It's not easy for you to come to Yanjing from Dali alone!" Zhao Chen said.

"In order to restore the country, no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it! The villain begs His Majesty to send troops to Dali to wipe out the traitors in Dali. From now on, Dali will always be the kingdom of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor will be respected as the master of the world from generation to generation." Duan Heming knelt down again Come down, said.

Zhao Chen raised his hand, signaling Duan Heming to stand up, while he was thinking about the situation in Dali.

Later generations only know about the Duan family in Dali, but they don't know that the Dali Kingdom is also divided into two stages: "Former Li Kingdom" and "Later Li Kingdom"! About a hundred years ago, when the fourth ruler of the Dali Kingdom succeeded to the throne, Gao Zhisheng, the Prime Minister of the Dali Kingdom, lost his power to the government and was granted the title of Marquis of Shanchan by the ruler of the Dali Kingdom. ! Seventy years ago, Yang Yizhen, another official of the Dali Kingdom, killed Duan Lianyi, the king of Dali, to stand on his own. Sixty years ago, Gao Shengtai succeeded Shan Chanhou and forced Duan Fenghui to sit in Duan Zhengming.

Forty years ago, Gao Shengtai replaced Duan Zhengming and called himself the "King of Great China". However, there are still people in Dali who oppose Gao Shengtai, and the Duan Clan in Dali still has some loyal political forces. Although the Gao Clan controls the power of the country, it is difficult to change people's hearts! When Gao Shengtai was dying, he told his descendants, "The reason why I became emperor and replaced Dali was because I was persecuted by Duan Zhengming! The Duan family is weak, and I also obeyed the opinions of the officials! Now my time is imminent. After my death, future generations are only allowed to be prime ministers." Assistant emperor, not to be emperor again! The country returns to the Duan family", so Gao Shengtai's son Gao Taiming made Duan Zhengming's younger brother Duan Zhengchun emperor, and the Dali Kingdom after Duan Zhengchun was called "Houli Kingdom".

It's a pity that Duan Zhengchun is only the king of Dali in name, everything in Dali Kingdom is under Gao's control! The Gao family has been the prime minister of Dali for generations, and the hereditary Chinese Duke is the actual lord of Dali.

Twenty years ago, Gao Taiming forced Duan Zhengchun to abdicate and put Duan Zhengchun's underage son Duan Heyu on the throne. This harmony is Duan Yu in modern martial arts novels! Until now, Duan Heyu is the king of Dali.

The reason why Duan Heming came to Song Dynasty secretly was to plead with Song Dynasty to send troops to eliminate the Gao family.

And Zhao Chen did not summon Duan Heming yesterday, because Duan Heming came too suddenly. Zhao Chen, the Military Aircraft Department, and the General Staff Headquarters needed to discuss this matter. After the preliminary results were obtained yesterday, Zhao Chen had a little contact with Duan Heming today. .

"Your Majesty, as long as the Great Song eradicates the Gao clan, I, Dali, would even be willing to become a territory of the Great Song Dynasty! From now on, my King Dali will be like the vassal king of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he can be safe, rich and honored! We are willing to dedicate Dali completely. Come out, just ask Your Majesty to send troops!" Seeing that Zhao Chen was still thinking, Duan Heming gritted his teeth and said.

"How is Dali's military strength now?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Dali is a small country with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they are all under the control of the Gao family." Duan Heming said.

"After the Gao family is eliminated, I will personally confer the King of Dali as King Zhennan of the Song Dynasty, and guard Dali from generation to generation! If the Song Dynasty is not destroyed, the Duan family will be prosperous and rich forever, just like my royal family of Zhao and Song! But you also need to help me appease Dali Subjects!" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we only want to avoid being killed by the Gao family, let alone other things? My Duan family in Dali was born after Duan Jiong, the prefect of Wuwei in the Eastern Han Dynasty. I have the same origin and the same species as the Song Dynasty. It is a matter of course for Dali to submit to the Song Dynasty." " Duan Heming said excitedly.

"You go to the General Staff Headquarters and write down all the unknown situation of Dali's troops and the situation of the pass. When the time is right, the Song Dynasty will naturally send troops to Dali." Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duan Heming said with great joy in his heart.

Over the past few decades, the Dali Duan Clan has lived with trepidation. Although on the surface they are still the masters of Dali, in fact they can't even leave Dali City! The Duan family in Dali was almost completely placed under house arrest by the Gao family! This time Duan Heming also sneaked out, he could imagine that many relatives in his branch must have been implicated, and it is possible for Gao to kill him! But for the sake of the entire Dali Duan family, he is still willing to do such a thing. Now that he heard that Da Song was willing to send troops, he was really happy in his heart.

Duan and Ming had already left, and only Zhao Chen was left in the imperial study room. He spread a map on the table.

The center of the map is the Great Song Dynasty, the north is the vast Mongolian grassland, and further north is the Qincha grassland, continuing to the north is the Moscow area, and from Moscow to the west is where Europe is located! Now Europe is still in the dark middle ages, and the whole of Europe is extremely backward, and its culture, economy, technology, and system are far inferior to those of the Song Dynasty! There are not many formal countries in Europe now, and many kings are simply lords of all sizes! To the east is Koryo, and to the east of Koryo is the most hated Dongying Japanese in the hearts of later generations. Koryo is still somewhat civilized, but the Japanese did not establish the centralized power system of the later shogunate era. The territory of the Japanese is not as good as later generations. Hokkaido is still in the wild In the era, continuing to the east and crossing the vast sea is the North American continent that no one has ever known! The North American continent is rich in products, but it is still dominated by Indians, and they are extremely backward! The southwest direction of the Song Dynasty is where the Dali Kingdom is located. This Dali Kingdom is also very large, including all of Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations, as well as the southwest of Sichuan, the west of Guangxi, the north of Myanmar, the north of Laos, and the northwest of Vietnam. However, Dali has many mountains, a limited population, and very limited financial and military strength! The south of the Song Dynasty is where Annan is located. This was originally the territory of the Han people. Unfortunately, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Annan became independent and later established Vietnam! Looking up, all countries in the world are currently lagging behind Song! In the past, the Song Dynasty still had shortcomings in military power, but after Zhao Chen succeeded to the throne, in less than ten years, the army of the Song Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. The military strength of the Song Dynasty has surpassed the grassland nomads in the north!

"In later generations, Napoleon once compared China to a sleeping lion. Now the lion is awakened, while other countries in the world are sleeping! An unprecedented beast has come out of the cage, and the whole world will surrender at the foot of Song Dynasty, but here Before that, I also wanted to reform the Great Song Dynasty step by step! The reform of education and imperial examinations is only the first step, and there will be more reforms in the future! The annexation of Korea and Dali is just a trivial matter. The country needs time to recuperate, and it will not happen in the next few years. A large-scale national war has broken out." Zhao Chen secretly said.
