Qiming 1158

Chapter 1609 Duan's End

It has been more than ten days since the Gao's army of more than [-] people and the reactionary coalition army of more than [-] people have been engaged in a "fierce battle" at Longshou Pass near the capital of Dali.

The two sides fought in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the battle was so fierce that it even caused more than 200 deaths.

In fact, it is not that the reactionary coalition forces are unwilling to expand the scale of the war and send more people. The main reason is that their combat effectiveness is too poor, their organizational strength is too low, and their people are not divided. Everyone has a small calculation for everyone.

In the face of the dragon head pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are not many powerful factions who are willing to really put down their own family foundation. a peach.

But the problem is that everyone is not stupid, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, who sings Liaozhai with whom?

So the situation becomes that everyone plays war games together. You fish and walk the birds for a day, and pretend to be under the Dragon Head Pass for a while. Tomorrow, I will change and continue to fish and walk the birds.

Half a month passed in a flash, and the reactionary coalition forces brought more than 200 casualties to themselves, and [-] casualties to the Gao's defenders at Longshou Pass.

They didn't realize what a precious opportunity for war the time they wasted was all about.

The time they wasted, the Ming army made good use of it. They seized the time and prepared to attack. When the reactionary coalition forces were fishing for fish and birds, the Ming army made all the preparations for battle.

Then, the Ming army came.

Xu Tong dispatched 20 people from the No.4 First Army of the Eighth Corps and the cavalry directly under the Corps to the south, and it took some effort to reach Longshou Pass. Resolutely commanded the Ming army to forge ahead, blowing up the reactionary coalition forces.

This reactionary coalition force of more than 2 people is the first wave of offensive troops of the entire reactionary coalition force, and it is also the army they organized at the fastest speed.

They still have great military potential, but their organizational skills are too poor and their logistical capabilities are not very good, so they cannot assemble a more powerful army to take the initiative.

So after these 2 people were eaten by the Ming army at Longshou Pass, the whole situation became clear.

At the end of April [-] of the Ming Dynasty, the main force of the Ming army arrived in Dali City, where they were warmly welcomed by the Gao clan.

Subsequently, Xu Tong announced to mobilize the troops of the two divisions to attack in two directions, launching a devastating attack on the strength of the reactionary coalition forces.

In order to express their welcome to this policy, the Gao family also announced that they would send two thousand troops to follow the Ming army to pacify the reactionary coalition forces, to end the civil strife in the shortest possible time, and to assist Daming in controlling the situation in Dali.

Then what Daming wants to do to the Dali Kingdom is Daming's own business, and the Dali Kingdom is at his disposal.

However, before that, Dali State was obviously very interested in some internal affairs of Ming State. Gao Shouchang, the current leader of the Gao family, Prime Minister of China, and Chinese Duke Gao Shouchang, carefully asked Xu Tong for news.

Xu Tong did not conceal anything about this matter, and told Gao Shouchang the specific situation one by one.

It is nothing more than that Daming decided to abolish the monarchy and the emperor according to the situation and adopt a democratic republic. The Daming Democratic Republic has been established, but the Gao family need not worry, because Su Yonglin is still the well-deserved leader of Daming.

"According to the latest reforms, the current official position of the original Daming Emperor is Chairman of the Executive Committee of the People's Congress, which is the head of state of Daming. Although Daming no longer has an emperor, the former Daming Emperor is still the first leader of Daming.

The things promised to you by the Gao Clan before, the Daming Democratic Republic will not break their promises. What was said at that time is still what it is now. As long as you assist Daming in turning Dali State into a Dali Province of Daming, then the interests of the Gao Clan will be preserved to a certain extent. . "

After Gao Shouchang listened to it, he felt as if he understood, but at the same time, he didn't seem to understand.

"Emperor Daming has abdicated, but his status is still emperor. Is that what you mean?"

Xu Tong shook his head.

"Yes, no, because Emperor Ming has abdicated, his status and influence are still at the level of the emperor, but he is arrogant, and he will no longer be a sole husband, but will take the initiative to divide power, listen to more people's opinions, and establish a democratic republic system. ."

Gao Shouchang thought about it and felt that he didn't understand the truth, but he probably figured out that the Ming Kingdom was still very stable at present, and there was no trend of turmoil, otherwise the Ming army would not have arrived in Dali so quickly and so simply.

What is Su Yonglin doing?

Take off your pants and fart?
He couldn't figure it out.

But this is not important, because he is sure that Daming's commitment to the Gao family has not changed, whether the Gao family is the Gao family, whether Daming is an empire or a democratic republic, as long as this information is confirmed, the rest is not important.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Gao Shouchang, Xu Tong met the current king Duan Zhixing in the palace of Dali City. Duan Zhixing had just ascended the throne when this incident happened. He was obviously very worried, for fear that he would become a bargaining chip and lose his life. .

However, Daming did not have the idea of ​​taking the life of the Duan family, because the Duan family was not that strong in terms of economic strength, and in terms of political strength, being crushed by the Gao family was not a very powerful threat.

Therefore, Su Yonglin's decision before was very easy.

Don't you Duan's family like to become a monk and become a monk?

Isn't that easy?
After the war, the men of the Duan family became monks, and the women became nuns. There are many famous mountains, rivers and ancient temples in Daming, and there are many famous Buddhist temples, which can definitely meet your spiritual needs.

By the way, Chinese Buddhism emphasizes that if you become a monk, you must eat fast and recite the Buddha. You can’t easily return to the secular world, and you can’t get married. So in the future, you should keep your mind and desires few, eat fast food and recite Buddha well, improve the Dharma, and strive to become a generation of famous monks.

The place is also chosen for you.

Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng, the most famous Buddhist temple in Daming, is it beautiful?
Speaking of which, after two consecutive large-scale court crackdowns in the middle and late Tang and Five Dynasties, after entering the Song Dynasty, the development of Buddhism never returned to the peak state of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it became weak and difficult to revitalize.

Although the royal family adopted a lot of protection strategies for Buddhism in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was still unable to reverse this trend, and the monks' interest in studying Buddhism was not as good as their interest in doing business.

In the Song Dynasty, monks began to do business on a large scale. Coupled with the land industry of the original temple, the life of the temple was still very good.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Su Yonglin believed that temples should look like temples, and monks should look like monks. They should study Buddhism as hard as those seniors who studied Buddhism all their lives and dedicated everything for the revival of Buddhism in ancient times.

rather than business.
