Chapter 303: Dali State Essentials Attached
Zhu Youjian realized that this was the time and space of the Southern Song Dynasty, not the time and space of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken back Dali, so naturally there was no Dali country, but this was the Southern Song Dynasty, a rich but weak country.
At first, he didn't care about the country in the south. After all, no matter what country it is, it is like a mantis chariot in front of the current Ming Empire. As long as the Ming Empire wants, it can be easily attacked.
So he ignored that there was another Dali Kingdom that had not been recovered.
"Tell Duan Yu that within two months, I will hear the news that Dali Kingdom will automatically announce the removal of national qualifications and submit to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, once the Ming Empire enters Dali Kingdom, the Duan clan will not be left.
Come and send this messenger back with a warship!"
After Zhu Youjian said that, the messenger had no chance to interrupt.
Or, after seeing those guards, he did not dare to interrupt until he was "invited" out of the palace, and did not express what he wanted to say.
He had no choice but to do anything independently, and the soldiers of the Ming Empire directly pressed him towards the warship.
The messenger was very panicked because he had been here from Yunnan for almost two months. Even if Dali Kingdom was willing to become a part of the Ming Empire, it would be impossible to send the news to the Yidu Mansion of the Ming Empire within two months!
Until he saw the huge dome-armored cruiser, he suddenly realized why the emperor of the Ming Empire said that he brought the news back within two months.
The huge warship spewed out white steam and marched rapidly towards the south.
He had never seen such a large ship, especially the cannons on the ship. The caliber was so exaggerated.
I encountered a group of pirates on the way. The dozens of pirate ships seemed to be less than the size of this warship. After the cannons on the ship opened fire, the pirate group wanted dozens of extra oars on the ship.
They could not escape at all. No matter which of the 20 artillery guns on the warship were hit, these small boats would only be sunk.
Especially the main gun, which was hit in the water, splashing waves caused several pirate ships to fly away.
If such artillery attacks Dali, even if they have natural dangers as a support, they will not be able to prevent the entry of the Ming Empire.
It shouldn't be a problem for them to blow up the mountains and rivers.
As for the city of Dali Kingdom, there is no need to mention it, I am afraid I can't even withstand a shot.
The Ming Empire was able to conquer so many countries in a short period of time, which further demonstrated the strength of its military strength. With such powerful artillery, Dali could only be completely erased.
After the envoy returned to Dali Kingdom, he told Duan Yu about the differences between the current Ming Empire and the previous Song and Jin Kingdoms.
The biggest difference is that the current Dalun Empire is very powerful, much more powerful than the previous Dajin and Song Kingdoms combined.
The country is very rich, and the streets are filled with merchants coming and going. They now use a kind of silver dollar and silver banknote as currency, which is very convenient.
Overall, Dali Kingdom is definitely not a rival to the Ming Empire. After the Ming Empire immediately wiped out the Western Xia, the next one to deal with should be Dali Kingdom.
After all, this was once part of the Han Dynasty. Judging from the powerful methods shown by the Ming Empire now, it was impossible for him to give up any territory that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty.
If you do not actively support yourself, you will only be eliminated.
Duan Yu is no longer interested in political affairs and wants to become a monk, and no longer cares about the troubles in this world.
After listening to the envoy's description of the Ming Empire, he felt that if he proposed the idea of confrontation, then what he would bring to Dali would be bloody and not what he wanted.
After repeated consideration, he decided to surrender.
At this time, the power of Dali State was still in his hands, so after he made the decision, the entire country began to mobilize.
However, if he wants to surrender himself, it does not mean that others are willing.
The Gao family has always been the largest family in Dali Kingdom, and Duan Yu's position was also given to him by the Gao family.
Now, in order to obtain the throne, Duan Yu's sons compete to get along with the Gao family, hoping to become emperor by gaining the support of the Gao family.
They fought openly and secretly for so long, and they were about to decide the outcome, but at this time they were told that the country was gone. They could not become emperors and no one could do it. How could they accept it again at this time?
Several sons found Duan Yu one after another and asked him to take back Cheng's life.
But the feedback you get is impossible.
For that position and the supreme throne of the emperor, they could do anything. Several sons planned and decided to assassinate Duan Yu.
Duan Yu was able to take charge of Dali Kingdom for so many years, and after becoming a monk, he could still live a stable life until he was 97 years old.
How come the power you control is less?
After he knew these plans, he directly chose to destroy his relatives for justice.
It was just a few sons who were unfaithful and unfilial, and they could continue to have children, but if these people were allowed to survive, it would be irresponsible to Dali Country.
When everyone saw that Duan Yu actually killed his own son in order to make Dali Kingdom join the Ming Empire. This determination was enough to explain any problem. Therefore, no one objected to his decision.
After receiving the approval of the whole country, Duan Yu immediately wrote a letter of state and sent an envoy to Yidu Prefecture.
After receiving the news, the Ming Empire sent an army of ten thousand people to Yunnan Prefecture.
On the one hand, it is to clear out possible rebels, and on the other hand, it is to garrison the frontier.
The Ming Empire did not take it seriously regardless of whether it was proactively attached to Dali, but the land bordering Dali was the Indochina Peninsula.
On this land, there is a powerful country at this time, and the Ming Dynasty must also conquer this side, but what is needed now is to prevent this country from getting involved in the territory belonging to the Ming Empire.
The territory of Dali is not stable. Although Duan Yu destroyed several unfilial sons, the biggest threat is that Gao family still exists.
For the Gao family, as long as the Dali Kingdom is still an independent country, they have the final say on this land.
But if the Dali Kingdom becomes part of the Ming Empire, it is difficult to ensure that the Ming Empire will not send new forces to flood here and squeeze their power.
Even threatens the foundation of their family.
In this case, they did not want it to appear. Although they had learned from the past few princes, they still created some chaos.
Some people were misled by him and collectively went to the capital of Dali to protest, so that Duan Yu would give up the idea of surrender and defend the majesty of the country. If he could not do it himself, let others become the emperor.
