Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After playing a prank, Zhao Ran felt relieved and returned to the promotion office easily.  It's a pity that if he wants to hang out in the jungles of the ten directions of Taoism, he can't be happy for the time being, so he can only endure it.

    The conflict between him and Dong Zhikun is open and transparent. This matter is not only known to the entire Taoist Shifang Jungle people in Long'an Prefecture, but also to many Taoist temples in the surrounding Baoning Prefecture, Tongchuan Prefecture, and Du Prefecture.  The higher-ups of Xuanyuan Guan also heard about it.

    Zhao Ran really wanted to find a dark corner and beat these two people up a thousand times or simply let them disappear from the world, but if he really did that, he would be ready to withdraw from the system of Shifang Jungle.  .

    Song Zhiyuan has woken up from his hangover and is chatting with visitors in the room.  Seeing Zhao Ran coming to the door, Song Zhiyuan let out a hey, pointed at Zhao Ran's nose, and said with hatred: "You are really calm! I heard that Zhixing said that you arrived late at night last night. If you were still late,  In half a day, I want to see how you end up!"

    Zhao Ran quickly apologized and said: "The prison hospital forgives me, the prison hospital forgives me. Junior brother came late, which makes the prison hospital worried."

    After Song Zhiyuan's anger subsided, he said to Zhao Ran: "Come and see the Lu Supervisor of the Jingshou Palace in the capital."

    Zhao Ran hurriedly went over and said, "I've seen the Lu Supervisory Academy in Xiaodao."

    Song Zhiyuan introduced to the middle-aged Taoist priest on the side: "This is Zhao Zhiran, the Zhuzhu of Junshan Temple. He was under me when I patrolled Wujiyuan. I watched helplessly as he started from sweeping the house, and in eight years, he became a  Blessings from Junshan Temple.¡±

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "If it weren't for the support of Senior Patrolman, I might still be sweeping the house now."

    Lu Supervisor said with a smile: "What a terrible young man. At your age, I was still chanting sutras in the sutra hall every day and thinking about how to pass the assessment next month."

    The three of them laughed and talked for a while before Lu Supervisor left.

    After Lu Supervisor left, Song Zhiyuan said: "This Lu Supervisor came from Qingyang Palace in Kuizhou, and later served as the meditation master of the Sutra Hall in Xuanyuan Temple. I got along quite well when I went to Xuanyuan Temple. He went there three years ago  He moved to the capital and was appointed as the high-gong minister of Jingshou Palace. The year before last, he also held the post of Du Tuo. Last year, Jingshou Palace Yun Laoyun resigned due to his old age. Xuanyuan Guan retained him and became the abbot, and he was promoted to the prison."

    Zhao Ran knows that the Jingshou Palace in the capital has always been relied upon by Xuanyuan Temple, and the supervisory courtyard of Jingshou Palace has a say in the entire Sichuan Province.  Li Yunhe, the supervisor of Xuanyuan Guan, and Zhao Yunlou, the governor of the capital, both once served as the supervisor of Jingshou Palace in the capital.

    Song Zhiyuan added: "This Supervisor Lu is quite straightforward. Please get closer to him when you have time."

    This is to pave the way for Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran naturally agrees.  When Song Zhiyuan was on patrol, he promoted Zhao Ran with some utilitarian intentions, such as helping his niece Song Yuqiao re-enter the master's school, exchanging for himself to become the supervisor of Wuji Academy, etc.  But after the fall of Zhang Yunzhao, now he is sitting in a high position in the prison of Yuyang Palace in Baonyeong Prefecture, and his mentality is different from that of back then.

    He knew that at his age, he could achieve this position and there was no possibility of reaching a higher level, so he had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Zhao Ran and Zhao Zhixing could come out and take care of the Song family in the future.  .  Of the two, he certainly valued Zhao Ran more.

    Zhao Ran asked about the content of this major meeting, and Song Zhiyuan knew everything.  He had just come out from the high position of patrolling Xuanyuan Temple and knew a lot about the inside story.

    In addition to rewarding achievements and punishing crimes, one of the most important contents of this major meeting was to discuss how to incorporate the large area of ??newly occupied land west of Baima Mountain into the Ming Dynasty.

    There are three Xia Kingdom villages on this land: Longbai, Chama, and Qionghe. Surrounded by the rare Hongyuan grassland, it is a good place to raise military horses.  According to the original practice of the Ming Dynasty, when a new area was occupied, one guard or one thousand households were established, a military household establishment was implemented, and the whole was included in the Songfan Guards.

    Songfan Guards is a war zone. In fact, it is the Ming Dynasty¡¯s collective name for the many first-line guard posts established in this war zone. It does not exist in the imperial court organization.  Perhaps in the future, real Songfan guards may be set up to govern, but these guards currently do not have unified regulations in form and are all controlled by the Governor-General's Office in Western Sichuan.

    But in this battle of Baima Mountain, the reason why the Ming army was able to win was that there was a key factor that played a role in it - internal response.  This person should not have been sent by the Ming Dynasty, but came from the three villages mentioned above.

    The foundation of the Xia Kingdom was the eight tribes of the Party. In addition to the eight tribes, there were many descendants of vassals and mountain people in many areas, forming large and small tribal groups. The chieftain system was implemented, and the chieftains managed the local area on their own.  Ministry people.

    The eight-year-old Battle of Baima Mountain really put Xia State through a lot of hardships. In the first few years, it could maintain its offensive, but later on, it was just barely able to maintain it, and it was no longer able to continue. Without him, the consumption was too huge.

    Especially since the end of last year, a lot of logistical support has been unable to keep up.??, so the tens of thousands of Xia troops stationed around Baima Mountain began to harm the surrounding tribal mountain people, especially the above-mentioned three villages that suffered the most.

    Sanzhai, who suffered deeply, endured it for a year and couldn't bear it anymore. Chieftain Longbai, Chieftain Chama and Chieftain Qionghe gathered together to reach a secret meeting and decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.  After two months of back-and-forth negotiations with the Governor-General's Office in Western Sichuan and the Daomen Promotion Office, a secret agreement was finally reached to support the Ming army in occupying Baima Mountain.

    With the approval of the Lushan General Viewpoint and the Nanjing Cabinet, the Governor-General's Office and the Promotion Office agreed to the conditions of the three ministries, allowing the three ministries to continue their autonomy after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time expelled the Buddhist temples and rebuilt Taoist temples.

    Now that Baima Mountain has won a complete victory, the Ming army has stationed at the Baihe line and confronts the Xia army across the river.  Baihe is a fast-flowing river, known as a natural danger, and it is difficult to conquer in a short time.  To be honest, the southern battlefield with the Xia Kingdom is basically unstoppable. Not only the Xia Kingdom is exhausted, but the southwestern provinces of the Ming Dynasty that have supported the war for eight years are also exhausted.

    The meaning of the Lushan General View and the Nanjing Cabinet is that the war is over for the time being, and we can plan for the future after it is consolidated.

    So, now the question arises, how should the newly occupied Hongyuan Grassland and Longbai, Chama and Qiong Rivers be managed?

    Regarding this issue, the Lushan General Viewpoint and the Nanjing Cabinet did not reach a resolution and argued over it for more than half a month.

    There are various opinions and views, some are moderate, some are radical, and they are basically divided into two groups.

    The first is to follow the original promise and allow the three tribes to be autonomous. Only Taoist priests will be sent to the three tribes to spread the blessings of the Three Purities and urge the people of the three tribes to convert.

    The second is to tear up the original agreement, forcibly dissolve the chieftains, return the natives to their hometowns, establish military households, and set up guard stations to implement military control.

    The two opinions are at loggerheads, each has its own truth, and you can¡¯t say it¡¯s wrong even if you look at it from left to right.  The general manager and the cabinet could not reach a unified resolution, so they simply left it to Xuanyuan Guan, the Governor's Office of Western Sichuan and the Daomen Promotion Office to make suggestions first - after all, this place will still be managed by Sichuan Province in the future.

    Therefore, in this major discussion, Xuanyuan Guan is preparing to solicit opinions from all palaces for consultation.
