Chapter 262 The Hometown of Peach Blossoms
"Everyone will go through this stage and see a mountain and want to know what is behind the mountain. Maybe when you climb to the back of the mountain, you will find that nothing special. Looking back, you may feel that this side is better.
The more you want to forget some things, the more you will remember them. When you no longer have some things, the only thing you can do is not forget them.
When a woman is desperate for her lover to appear, but he never appears, her subconscious will make him dress up as the person in her mind.”
If she still appears on the hillside from time to time, it means she has a little expectation for the past. If she can't help crying, it means she will finally say goodbye to the person in her heart. When she finally can laugh out loud, it means she has finally stood up again.
There is a small town between Dali and Tubo. The ancient Tea-Horse Road has given it its prosperity today. As long as you ask about the past merchants, almost everyone knows it.
This place is named after peach blossoms. The town is called Taohua Town. There is a special inn called Taohua Inn. Some merchants say that this is a black shop because some merchants will always disappear from here for no reason, but there are still a constant stream of people coming here because there is a peach blossom shopkeeper who is popular with thousands of merchants. Those bold merchants always want to try it to see if this peach blossom is as evil as the legendary one.
Wu Yonglin finally returned to his former smile. He always laughed happily as he listened to the various stories about this peach blossom shopkeeper in Cuo Muli.
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, peach Blossom Fairy in Taohuawu; peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms for wine money." Wu Yonglin couldn't help but recite the "Peach Blossom Poem" by the romantic talent Tang Bohu. Zhang Hu was stunned when he heard it. After staying with his senior brother for a long time, he would feel that he would become elegant in an instant. Such catchy poems, he could remember such a rash man effortlessly. He thought that after he went back, he could show off his future wife, and that he had criticized him a lot in this regard.
"Brother Wu, why do we have to go to Dali to take this unnecessary risk? I think it's enough to just go and talk to them about tea issues, send a few merchants."
"The current emperor of Dali is Duan Zhengyan (also known as Duan Heyu, the son of Duan Zhengchun of Emperor Wen'an, and the prototype of Jin Daxia's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He is the successor of the "Six-Meridian Divine Sword" that shocks the world..."
As soon as Wu Yonglin opened his mouth, everyone gathered around him. He heard him talk about the chivalrous, righteousness, love, and love similar to the "Three Romances in Taoyuan". Chu Muli praised the wonderfulness of the story. Zhang Hu, Luo Pingyang and others were even more fascinated. Even Mao Zixing knew that it was made by Wu Yonglin himself, he couldn't help but applaud.
"Brother Choum, why not tell me the true history of Dali, or the story of Duan Zhengyan. Look at these bastards, they don't take it seriously now. They all want to hug the beauty and think they are like heroes. I am really afraid that these guys with higher hearts will fall into a big fight."
"The Dali Kingdom is a little more complicated than our Tubo. Previously, Nanzhao was established by the Wuman and Baiman (the ancestors of the Bai people) in the Erhai area of Dali. After Nanzhao, three local regimes established by Changhe, Tianxing and Yining appeared one after another. Finally, after the Gao family returned the regime to Duan Zhengchun, the country's name was restored from the original "Great China" to "Dali", but the great power was controlled by the Gao family. After that, the nobles of the Gao family were inherited as prime ministers and ruled the Dali national government. The Duan family had the state but no power, and the Gao family had the power but no power."
Wu Yonglin continued the words of Cuomuli, "Actually, I know a little about the past of this country, which is a supplement to Cuomu.
For a long time, the northwest area was the main settlement of the Di Qiang people. Around the Zhou and Qin dynasties, these Di Qiang people gradually retreated in the Longshan Mountains, and took the so-called Qinzhou or Longzhou in the ancient Tianshui area as the center. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Tianshui County was established in its place, Wang Mang changed to the Fenrong, and during the reign of Emperor Ming of Han, it was established in Hanyang County. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, Qinzhou was established, and the six counties of Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui, Lueyang, Wudu and Yinping. A large part of the ancestral home of the Dali Duan family was in Tianshui to a certain extent. Correspondingly, they were likely descendants of the Di people.
In this long historical process, due to various factors such as war, climate, and environment, the Di Qiang people in the northwest continued to migrate southward. Their migration routes mainly ranged from Jinniu Road, Micang Road and Yinping Road. After arriving near Chengdu, they walked down the Minjiang River from Wuqi Road to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the other route took Qionglai and went south from Lingguan Road.
The Duan family originated from Duan Yanweiman at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was during this period that he moved south to this place. He was originally the "Qu General" - the leader of the Diqiang tribe who moved south with the Duan family as the core. By the time of Duan Ping, he entered the dynasty (at that time, in the early Tang Dynasty), and was appointed as the governor of Yunnan. Later, the Duan family served as important positions in the Tang Dynasty: Duan Zuo's general, Duan Guangshi Taipuqing, King Changchuan, Duan Ziying led the prefecture to Sui County Prince, Shenyingzhou Military Envoy, and Duan Xiu Taichang Qing.
The clan led by Duan Ping sought to develop outward and served in the Tang Dynasty; while the clan led by Duan Jian and Wei's ancestors strengthened its power locally and surrendered to Nanzhao. When he arrived at Piluo Pavilion, Duan Daochao was granted the title of national commander, and the Duan's power quickly expanded at this time. When he arrived at Luofeng, a powerful Duan family noble appeared. At the same time as Duan Jian and Wei, Duan Xunqi, Duan Quange, Duan Fuke, Duan Junli and others were successively relied on by Luofeng, and were Qingping officials and generals.
In order to win people's hearts, Duan's myth of Duan Chicheng, who died in the newly built water conservancy, became the "Erhe Dragon King" - the Erhe River has a demon snake named Bojie, and the mouth of the river's tail and gorge, and flooded the city. The king showed: Those who can destroy it will reward all the palaces and treacherous palaces, and their descendants will be exempted from service for generations. Duan Chicheng wanted to destroy snakes, tie a knife into the water, and the snake swallowed it, and the snake died. The floods stopped. Wang Jian Temple and used the snake ashes tower to call it the spiritual tower.
This period already represents the influence of Duan's family, which can be alongside the old surnames Zhang, Li, Zhao and Yang in all aspects.
After the Nanzhao regime, Zheng Maisi's "Dachanghe Kingdom", Zhao Shanzheng's "Datian Xingguo" and Yang Ganzhen's "Dayi Ningguo" both existed for a short time. When they changed each other, they were often accompanied by bloody killings, which often made the people live in poverty and complaints.
Duan Siping, a native of the Han Dynasty, officially appeared on the political stage at the end of Yang Ganzhen's "Dayi Ningguo". Although his ancestors were of great fame and honor, by the time Duan Siping was born, his family had declined and he had become a declining nobleman - the sixth generation grandson of Guanzhong, the Guanzhong Kingdom of Mengqing, and the son of Bu Xie Baolong.
Duan Siping lived in poverty every day when he was young. He was a little older and lived in the mountains. His family cultivated his talent for governing the world and his literary talent, and his poor labor life gave him the opportunity to approach the lower class and understand the sufferings of the people. Because Duan Siping was outstanding in martial arts and outstanding in talent, he was initially promoted to Mulan, and later he became the governor of Tonghai Jiedu, becoming a general who ruled the country.
Duan Siping experienced the short-lived regimes of Zheng, Yang and Zhao families, and was well aware of the importance of gaining support from various ethnic groups. Duan Siping knew that the elite troops he established in Tonghai could not compete with the Yang brothers, so he began to contact other Bai tribes and secretly contacted the 37 tribes in eastern Yunnan, borrowed troops from Heicuan and other 37 tribes in eastern Yunnan, and prepared to launch the rebellion of the people to overthrow the Yang regime in one fell swoop.
Yang Ganzhen is not a good-for-nothing person. He is widely in the world. In order to avoid Yang Ganzhen's persecution, Duan Siping temporarily left the Erhai area and moved to other areas to engage in rebellion organizational mobilization work.
