It has been more than ten days since the "fierce battle" between more than 5,000 Gao's troops and more than 20,000 reactionary coalition forces started at Longshou Pass near the capital of Dali.
The two sides fought in darkness, and the battle was so fierce that it even caused the death of more than 200 people.
In fact, it is not that the reactionary coalition forces are unwilling to expand the scale of the war and send more lives. The main reason is that their combat effectiveness is too poor, their organizational power is too low, and their people are not unified. Everyone has their own little calculations.
Facing the Dragon Head Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, few powerful factions are willing to really put their own foundation on it. They all want to consume the strength of others to lay the foundation for their own victory, so that they can grab the biggest advantage. A peach.
But the problem is that everyone is not stupid, they are all foxes for thousands of years, who is chatting with whom?
So the situation became like everyone playing a war game together. You can play a game of war for a day, pretending to be under the Dragon Head Pass for a while, and tomorrow it will be me, and I will continue to play a game of war.
Half a month passed in a flash. The reactionary coalition forces caused more than 200 casualties to themselves and 17 casualties to the Gao family defenders at Longshou Pass.
They simply didn't realize how valuable the time they wasted was a war opportunity.
The Ming army made good use of the time they wasted. They seized the time to prepare their troops and prepare to attack. While the reactionary coalition forces were taking advantage of the situation, the Ming army was fully prepared for the battle.
Then, the Ming army came.
Xu Tong sent a total of 40,000 people from the 21st Army of the Eighth Corps and the cavalry directly under the Corps southward. It took some effort to reach Longshou Pass, but they happened to encounter a confrontation between the reactionary coalition forces and Gao's army at Longshou Pass. Xu Tong He decisively commanded the Ming army to advance and defeated the reactionary coalition forces.
This reactionary coalition of more than 20,000 people was the first offensive force of the entire reactionary coalition, and it was also the army they organized as quickly as possible.
They still have great military potential, but their organizational skills are too poor, their logistics capabilities are not very good, and they cannot afford to assemble a stronger army to take the initiative.
So after 20,000 people were eaten by the Ming army at Longshou Pass, the whole situation became clear.
At the end of April 2015 in the Republic of Ming Dynasty, the main force of the Ming army arrived in Dali City, where they were wholeheartedly welcomed by the Gao family forces.
Subsequently, Xu Tong announced that he would mobilize two divisions of troops to attack in two directions and launch a devastating attack against the reactionary coalition forces.
In order to express their welcome to this policy, the Gao family also announced that it would send 20,000 troops to follow the Ming army to quell the reactionary coalition forces, in order to end this civil strife in the shortest possible time and assist the Ming Dynasty in controlling the situation in Dali.
Then what Ming wants to do to Dali is Daming's own business, and Dali is left to its own devices.
But before that, Dali was obviously very interested in some internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Gao Shouchang, the current head of the Gao family, Prime Minister and Duke of China, cautiously asked Xu Tong for information.
Xu Tong did not hide anything about the matter and told Gao Shouchang the details.
It is nothing more than that the Ming Dynasty decided to abolish the monarchy and the emperor and adopt a democratic republic based on the situation. The Ming Democratic Republic has been established, but the Gao family does not need to worry, because Su Yonglin is still the well-deserved leader of the Ming Dynasty.
"According to the latest reform, the original Ming Emperor's official position is now the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the People's Congress. This position is the head of state of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty no longer has an emperor, the original Ming Emperor is still the first leader of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Democratic Republic will not break its promise to the Gao family before. What was said at that time is still the same now. As long as you assist the Ming Dynasty in turning Dali into the Dali Province of the Ming Dynasty, the interests of the Gao family will be preserved to a certain extent. . "
After listening to it, Gao Shouchang felt that he seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
"Although the Ming Emperor abdicated, his status is still the emperor. Is this what you mean?"
Xu Tong shook his head.
"Yes and no, because the Ming Emperor abdicated, his status and influence are still at the emperor level, but he is upright and upright, and he no longer acts as a dictator, but actively divides power, listens to more people's opinions, and establishes a democratic republic system .”
Gao Shouchang thought about it and felt that he did not understand the meaning of this, but he probably understood that the Ming Dynasty was still very stable and did not show any trend of unrest. Otherwise, the Ming army would not have been able to arrive in Dali so quickly and simply.
What is Su Yonglin doing?
Take off your pants and fart?
He couldn't figure it out.
But this is not important, because he is convinced that Ming's commitment to the Gao family has not changed. The Gao family is still the Gao family, regardless of whether Ming is an empire or a democratic republic. As long as this information is confirmed, nothing else matters.
After that, Xu Tong, led by Gao Shouchang, went to the palace of Dali City to meet the current king Duan Zhixing. Duan Zhixing had this incident happen not long after he ascended the throne. He was obviously very worried, fearing that he would become a bargaining chip and lose his life. .
However, the Ming Dynasty did not have the idea of taking the lives of the Duan family, because the Duan family was actually not that strong in terms of economic strength. In terms of political strength, being suppressed by the Gao family, it was really not a very powerful threat.
So Su Yonglin's decision before was still very easy.
Don’t you, the Duan family, really like to become a monk?
Isn't that simple?
After the war, the men of the Duan family became monks and the women became nuns. There are many famous mountains, rivers, ancient temples, and many famous Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty, which can definitely meet your spiritual needs.
By the way, Chinese Buddhism emphasizes that a monk must eat fast and recite Buddha's name, and cannot easily return to secular life or get married. So in the future, you must be pure of heart, eat well, fast and recite Buddha's name, practice Buddhism diligently, and strive to become a famous monk of the generation.
The place to go has been chosen for you.
The Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng is currently the most famous Buddhist temple in the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t it beautiful?
Speaking of which, after two consecutive large-scale court crackdowns in the middle and late Tang Dynasties and the Five Dynasties period, after the Song Dynasty, the development of Buddhism never returned to its peak state during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it became weak and difficult to revitalize.
Although the royal family adopted many protective strategies towards Buddhism during the Northern Song Dynasty, it was still unable to reverse this trend. On the contrary, the monks' interest in studying Buddhism could not keep up with their interest in doing business.
In the Song Dynasty, monks began to engage in large-scale business. In addition to the original land industry of the temple, life in the temple was still very good.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Su Yonglin believed that temples should look like temples and monks should look like monks. They should work hard to study Buddhism like those predecessors who studied Buddhism all their lives and devoted everything to the revitalization of Buddhism in ancient times.
