At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 326 Kunming City

In the third year of Mengge (1253), the Yuan army captured Kublai Khan in Yunnan. In the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1276), that is, the same year when Lin'an was occupied, Saidian Chishan Siding was in charge of Yunnan government affairs.

After he took office, he changed the ten thousand, one thousand and one hundred households established during the military rule into roads, prefectures, prefectures and counties, formally established the Yunnan Xingzhongshu Province, established Kunming County, and designated it as Zhongqing Road. The administrative center was moved here from Dali.

Since then, Kunming has officially become the political, economic and cultural center of the province.

In the early days, military plunder and force suppression led to resistance everywhere. Gansi Ding replaced it with a policy of setting taxes and improving ethnic relations. He also established large-scale civilian villages, renovated water conservancy, established rents, and exempted from corvee labor.

"Opening the Yunnan Post Road", "opening up the forbidden roads and allowing people to communicate", opening the Haikou River, dredging the Mantis River, lowering the water level of Dianchi Lake, not only relieving the flood problem in Kunming city, but also "gaining more than ten thousand hectares of soil. "For fertile land", the farmland area was expanded.

The Jinzhi River and Songhua Dam were built, water from the Panlong River was diverted to irrigate the farmland on the east bank of Dianchi Lake, sericulture technology was introduced, and the silk weaving industry was developed, allowing farmers and handicraftsmen to "earn ten times as much profit as before" and improving the economy of the Dianchi Lake area. Explosive development.

The people were grateful to Susi Ding. After Nasuradin was appointed as Pingzhang, he inherited a series of policies from his father, and the people inherited their gratitude.

Therefore, Nasuradin successfully gathered [-] troops in Kunming City, preparing to fight the Song army to the end.

It was already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and it was time to prepare to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. However, the Song army was just outside the city, and the whole city was tense, with no New Year atmosphere at all.

Normally, after all, the war is about to start, and no one knows whether they can survive until next year, so naturally they have no intention of celebrating the New Year.

In the granary, Nasuradin pierced a bag with a long spear, caught the rice that leaked out, chewed it, and said: "If we talk about the contribution of defending the city, the first thing is food. Ambassador Zhang has collected [-] dan of food, and he should be ranked first." achievement."

Zhang Lidao replied: "Encouraging farmers is just a matter of envoy's duty, so how can you claim merit?"

Nasuradin said: "It's just one hundred thousand stones of food. If the Song army besieges the city, it won't be enough to last for a year. The ambassador will have to make further preparations."

Zhang Lidao replied: "I'm afraid that the people will be dissatisfied and the foundation will be shaken. Even if Kunming is defended, Yunnan will be unstable."

Nasuradin said fiercely: "I have been recuperating for more than ten years. I should respect the imperial court. And if Kunming is lost, how can we talk about the people's support?"

Zhang Lidao naturally understood this truth and had no choice but to comply.

Just when the two of them left the granary, the gatekeeper rushed over and said, "Prime Minister, the Maitreya Department has sent [-] oxen, [-] pigs and [-] sheep to work for the army. They are just outside the city."

Nasuradin smiled happily and said: "The Maitreya tribe is loyal and loyal, and I will commend it to the imperial court!"

Food is only enough to fill one's stomach so as not to cause fatigue, but meat can boost morale. Moreover, at this time, the road between Kunming and the Maitreya Department has been cut off, and the Maitreya Department sent pigs, cattle and sheep, which is really rare.

"It's important to defend the city, and everything is complicated. How about the ambassador greet me and give me a few words of praise?" Nasuradin said to Zhang Lidao.

Zhang Lidao nodded and said: "Don't worry Pingzhang, I won't cool down the enthusiasm of the Maitreya Department."

The two parted, and Zhang Lidao went straight to the west gate, where he saw more than a hundred people looking at a group of cattle, sheep and pigs.

The Song army had insufficient troops and had not besieged the city. The two northwest gates could still be entered and exited, but they were heavily guarded. Orders from the general manager were required to enter and exit.

Zhang Lidao became wary when he saw that the leader was Hei Moke, Hei Sanjiu's younger brother.

When Zhang Lidao left the city, Heimoko bowed his head and said, "Moko, a humble citizen, pays homage to the superior officer."

"The black leader does not need to be like this." Zhang Lidao helped Heimo Ke up and said: "It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Now that the Song Dynasty's army is at its peak, it is not easy for the Maitreya Department to come and work for the army."

"Ashamed, I should have mobilized all my troops to help in the battle, but the Song thieves were so aggressive that I really had no time to take care of them. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Heimoko said.

"It doesn't matter, let's go into the city and talk." Zhang Lidao didn't mind at all.The animal husbandry industry in Yunnan is developed. The Yuan army collected a large number of pigs, cattle and sheep for military supplies. There were a total of [-] sheep, [-] cattle, and [-] pigs, all of which were raised in the cattle and sheep market in the west of the city. The Maitreya Department's [-] The tribe is responsible for this.

Going out of the city to cut grass and clean up excrement every day is really a hard job, but it is safer and it falls into the water from time to time, which is much better than other tribes.

Because many of them had been away from home for a long time, and now it was the New Year, Heimoke proposed to bring 500 people instead of 500 people back, and Zhang Lidao happily agreed.

"You are so loyal to the state and will be commended by the imperial court. When the war is over and Maitreya is established as a state, your Hei family will be the envoy of Xuanfu for generations to come." Zhang Lidao drew a big cake.

"Thank you for your promotion, Shangguan. Thank you for your promotion, Shangguan. I will do my best to help the officers and soldiers defeat the traitors." Heimoko knelt down to Zhang Lidao on the spot.

Yuanting has administrative agencies at all levels, and most of the officials are local chiefs. In remote areas, they are all chieftains. However, after the tribe became a state or county, there was no one who was in charge of the tribal chief's family and replaced it hereditary.

A country within a country, and a mere native is worthy of it?
To be honest, Heimoko wanted to reveal his plan impulsively.

Relying on the righteousness of the imperial court to suppress various tribes, enriching themselves through taxation, and choosing opportunities to annex surrounding tribes to gradually become stronger. When the weather changes, with the help of the Turkish army at hand, it may even become the next Nanzhao Kingdom.

Think more.

Now the life and death of the Maitreya Department depends on Song Jun's thoughts.

If the tribe is gone, even if you become a consolation envoy, it will be in name only, and there will be no people or birds at all.

There are not so many benefits to hanging out with the Song Dynasty, but living is the biggest benefit, and you can't expect more.

After calming down, Heimoko arrived at Niuma Market, and after gathering 600 tribesmen, he sent [-] of them who were not so trustworthy back to their hometowns and stayed on his own.

Either they are close confidants, or their family members are in the tribe, and they can basically be trusted.

"The officers and soldiers have entered the tribe, and we and our children are all under gunfire. If we can't break the city, we will all be destroyed." Heimoko threatened at first, and then said: "The officers and soldiers promised that as long as we act according to the plan, , regardless of whether the city is broken, they will be given one hundred acres of land, a full set of iron farm tools, and two cows.

Those who survive are given to yourself, and those who die are given to your family. You will never owe a penny. "

No one who came to serve was rich. When he heard about such generous conditions, he immediately became excited.

"Three leaders, what do you think we should do?"

"Give me your life and fight the Tatars."

"I can't wait any longer, shall we do it now?"

"Calm down and don't make any noise." Heimoko suppressed everyone's excitement and began to make arrangements.

The Yuan army no longer bothered to supervise the Maitreya Department.

Just after Heimoko entered the city, another [-] Song troops arrived, accompanied by a large number of artillery.

After receiving support, Miao Zaicheng immediately divided his troops to set up another military stronghold, apparently intending to surround Kunming.

While Nasuradin and others were discussing countermeasures, the Song army released a prisoner and brought back a surrender letter.
