back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 682 Mediation is not easy
After drinking and eating, Lu Chenhuan reluctantly put down his chopsticks and said, "My lord, this dish is really a delicacy, even in Chang'an, I can't eat it!"

Duan Silian said proudly: "That is, this is my unique dish in Dali, which is not available to ordinary people."

Fatty Lu smiled, and said: "The prince said earlier that Wuman and Baiman are really incompatible?" The meaning in the words is naturally why there are always military encounters in Dali Mansion.What is the court most afraid of?That's it, fighting and fighting, and suddenly rebelled.If it's tribal conflict, that's fine.The Han people pay attention to peace, so why do these barbarians want to fight and kill?For the first time, Fatty Lu got a little tired of beating and killing.If there is a war, it can be justified, but the forbidden army is everywhere, and the bandits are invincible, fleeing into the deep mountains and old forests, how can we suppress the bandits?Fatty Lu is so worried, the fat around his waist has shrunk.

Duan Silian sighed, and said: "Wuman and Baiman have a long history of grievances." After finishing speaking, Duan Silian carefully talked about the grievances between the two clans.It turned out that in the southwest of Dashun, Wuman was the ruler and Baiman was the ruled.In the Central Plains, some people also call Wuman Black Miao, Black Yi. "Wuman" means "Black Yi" and "Baiman" means "White Yi".

There is a big surname in Wuman, called Cuan's.The Cuan family is a common surname in Nanzhong. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it dominated Ningzhou, and the area controlled by its power was called Cuandi.The Cuan nationality is a combination of tribal groups living in Cuandi and related to the Cuan family.After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Cuan family competed, merged, and split among themselves. At the beginning of the previous dynasty, it was divided into Dong Cuan and Xi Cuan, and Dong Cuan was called "Wuman".Wuman claims to be the descendant of Zhong Mouyou (ie Dumu), the reborn ancestor of the Yi nationality in Southwest China.

The Baiman evolved from the Bo people in the Han and Jin dynasties. Bo is a "different species of Qiang", that is, a part differentiated from Di and Qiang.During the Qin Dynasty, the "Wuchi Road" and the Nanyi Road were opened, both of which started from the Bo Road and extended southward through northeast Yunnan to the central area of ​​Yunnan.There are thousands of miles of plank roads, and everything is connected. During the businessmen's travels, there are Bo people living along the way.Due to the close interaction between the Bo people and the Han people from the inland, and the absorption of higher Han culture, the level of economic and cultural development was the highest among the Southwestern Yi at that time, and they were dubbed "benevolence" and "humanity". , For example, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Baibo people in Zhuti County had built the "Thousand Hectare Pond", planted rice, and their copper smelting technology was relatively developed, reaching a level similar to that of the Han people.

In the Jin Dynasty, the Cuan family was the common surname among the people who were stationed on the frontier for reclamation, and it was a powerful force differentiated from the Han bureaucrats and immigrants.After the Cuan family moved westward to the "Southwestern Yi" area, they replaced the "King of Dian" together with the local "Yi Shuai" Yongkai and Menghuo families.In the annexation struggle of the general surnames and barbarians in the Jin Dynasty, the Cuan clan overwhelmed other forces and dominated one side.Become the lord of the "barbarians" in the South Central region.The grievances between Wuman and Baiman began here.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the struggle between the foreign Han people and the local aborigines, but it is the same as the war between Yanhuang and Chiyou thousands of years ago, they are all integrated with each other, and they are not separated from each other.It's just that there are still deep-rooted tribal concepts, and all kinds of grievances have been accumulated when they have been ruled.Even though Nanzhao had destroyed the country and Dali had surrendered, the grievances were still not resolved.In addition, the folk customs in the southwest are tough, and they will fight if they disagree with each other. It is even more new and old hatred, which is getting more and more out of control.

While speaking, Duan Silian drank and drank by himself, full of sadness.He is also a sensible person, knowing why the imperial court sent the forbidden army, isn't it just to prevent "civil upheavals"!Just look at the land of the Central Plains. Wherever one dares to rise up with weapons, they are afraid that they will be suppressed immediately.That is to say, Dali Mansion is as high as the emperor and far away from the emperor. In addition, when the surrender was made, the court deprived them of the right to tax and recruit soldiers. The current Duan Wang Mansion is, in a greater sense, just a symbol of honor in the minds of the people in Central Yunnan.

After listening to Duan Silian's words, Fatty Lu finally cleared his mind. It's not a bandit, but a fight between his two brothers!

"Then why didn't the prince mediate?"

Duan Silian sighed quietly: "This king also wants to, but unfortunately he doesn't have that strength..."

Fatty Lu is a smart person, and he figured it out as soon as he thought about it.Duan Silian has no real power in his hands, just an illusory title of prince.It is said that he is the king of Dali, but in fact he is not as good as Wuman, the head of a unitary!
"I see……"

Duan Silian was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Lu Chenhuan, who seemed fat and fat, could turn his mind so quickly.He just said the beginning of the sentence, and people have already guessed the end of the sentence.Since everyone is a smart person, Duan Silian didn't beat around the bush: "The general came here, I'm afraid he came here to quell the fighting?"

Lu Chenhuan didn't mean to hide anything, and he admitted it directly: "Yes, I will come here according to the order to help the prince." Duan Silian helped.In this way, it will neither arouse Duan Silian's disgust, but also make him feel extremely honored.

Duan Silian's blood surged, and he almost knelt down to Fatty Lu: "General, it's a timely help! To tell you the truth, General, the Wuman and Baiman patriarchs are sharpening their knives these days, and there is going to be a fierce battle. Fortunately. If the general comes here, he will definitely turn hostility into jade..."

Lu Chenhuan was startled: "What, this group of people still want to fight?" He originally thought that Wuman and Baiman could not be unaware that the imperial army entered Yunnan with great momentum.Although the mountains in Yunnan are high, the roads are dangerous and the pits are deep, the imperial army is not vegetarian.Even if Wuman and Baiman are local snakes, so what, as long as Fatty Lu makes up his mind, can these two mob clans be opponents of the Forbidden Army?That being the case, where did Wuman and Baiman get their courage?
After asking this question, Duan Silian pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "These two clans have always ignored the outside world, maybe they haven't heard of the arrival of the forbidden army yet?"

Lu Chenhuan didn't believe it, and said: "My lord, it's not as good as this. You should send someone to deliver a letter to Wuman and Baiman, explaining the imperial court's will. If the fight continues, the forbidden army will definitely go to attack. At that time, all jade and stone will be burned, so don't say it." Not in advance."

Duan Silian was startled: "Could it be that the general really wants to send troops?"

Lu Chenhuan said slowly: "The responsibility lies!"

"Impossible!" Duan Silian was shocked, "If you send troops, I'm afraid Dali Mansion will be full of flames, general, think twice!"

Lu Chenhuan knew that the people in Yunnan were tough and tough, and rebellion was possible if they were forced to do so. "Then tell me, my lord, what should I do?"
