If you talk about tourism, you have to talk about Yunnan, which is "the south of the clouds". This is a beautiful city, referred to as Yun or Dian, adjacent to Guizhou in Guangxi in the east, across the river from Sichuan in the north, and across the river from Myanmar in the west, which shows that it covers a wide area, and its history is long and full of mystery. In Sima Qian's "Records of History", there was an ancient Dian kingdom that appeared here, but soon the human world evaporated and there was no trace.
The ancient "Dian" has always been regarded by the Central Plains as a "barbarian" land. Because at that time, this place was not yet developed, the traffic was not developed, the vegetation was rich, the people inside could not go out, the people outside could not come in, and in the long run, they formed their own local characteristics, especially the ethnic minorities, it is said that the liquor is on the bowl to drink, and there is a family machete, which shows that it is usually a practicing family.
The Tang Dynasty lost Yunnan
Historically, Yunnan has been unified and divided several times, but many times it has been ruled by local forces. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, Yunnan was still a constant dispute between local forces, and because of this, the Tang Emperor had been helpless against Yunnan until the Nanzhao of the Six Edicts was more pro-Tang, so they joined forces to take what they needed, and in 738 AD, Piluoge annexed the other five edicts to establish the Nanzhao State, and was also crowned by the Tang Dynasty as the King of Yunnan. However, what Tang Xuanzong did not expect was that the rising State of Nanzhao was out of the control of the Tang Dynasty.
Coupled with the subsequent Tianbao War and the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty had no time to take care of Yunnan. Although Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty later joined forces against Tubo in exchange for a period of peaceful coexistence, it was only a strategic repair, and eventually a war broke out, ending with the defeat of Nanzhao. Soon after, the Tang Dynasty also collapsed.
It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty could have controlled Yunnan, but at that time, internal and external troubles could not completely solve the problem of Nanzhao, so that Nanzhao was freed from control, so that it finally destroyed the country itself.
The Song Dynasty did not capture Yunnan
Nanzhao withdrew from the stage of history, the Dali state began to rise, and then Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, began the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, successively destroyed many local forces such as Later Shu and Southern Tang, and occupied the richest area. Just when people thought that he would attack Yunnan with a single blow, he hesitated, perhaps because of the lessons of the past, Dali is a minefield that cannot be easily touched, otherwise it will hurt others and hurt himself, or perhaps he will no longer have the energy to march into the southwest.
Because the Song Dynasty at that time could be said to be embattled, Zhao Kuangyin needed to focus his energy on the blade to break this dilemma. Khitan, Jurchen, Western Xia, Mongolia, the north has never been stable, and the Great Song Dynasty has never stopped, so in the face of such a situation, as long as Dali does not stab the knife in the back, it is already burning high incense.
In the end, Zhao Kuangyin chose to take the Dadu River as the boundary and live in peace. Fortunately, however, Dali "established the country with Buddhism" and ruled the country with Confucianism, so it was relatively friendly to the Song Dynasty and did not threaten the Great Song.
Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce move allowed Yunnan to stay in the Territory of China forever
By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent a Mongol army to conquer Yunnan, but the local forces were too tenacious to be completely conquered in the strict sense. In addition, later uprisings were heard in various parts of Yunnan, and the whole country fell into chaos. It was not until the emergence of Zhu Yuanzhang that Yunnan was completely incorporated into the Chinese territory. It can be said that Yunnan has always maintained an independent or semi-independent state before the Ming Dynasty, and only after the Ming Dynasty is the true meaning of the Chinese territory.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he felt that Yunnan was a barbarian land and it was easy to launch a rebellion, so in this case, the best way to deal with it was to counter violence with violence and completely beat it to its heart. So in 1381, he sent Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying to lead an army to pacify Yunnan. The Ming army first won a major victory in eastern Yunnan, and the leader of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, King Liang, committed suicide. Subsequently, victories were won in other places, although the Duan clan had stubbornly resisted, but how to resist the Ming army. Eventually, Yunnan was completely unified.
However, due to the majority of ethnic minorities in Yunnan, their forces are also complex, and if they are not well governed, they will fall into a state of division. In order to solve this problem, Zhu Yuanzhang first implemented the three divisions system, adapted measures to local conditions, and divided and ruled them, and then studied the method of "Qin Shi Huang burning books and pit Confucianism", burned all the historical materials and national secretaries in Yunnan, and culturally cut off the "roots" of local forces, and brought about a thorough change.
The "History of Ming" clearly records: "In the official classics, all burned." ”
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's move to burn books is really cruel. His move has completely reborn the locals, and coupled with decades of baptism, the locals in Yunnan are not much different from people elsewhere. It is precisely because of this political means that Yunnan, which has been under partition, has completely belonged to the land of China. Of course, after that, they also had no different intentions, let alone rebellion.
Qin Shi Huang's book burning pit Confucianism was scolded by future generations, so a thousand years later, Zhu Yuanzhang's book burning pit Confucianism, what do you think?
