Duan Kaiguo Dali Di

Duan Siping was born in Wuwei county and Duan in ancestors, and he was a Qing dynasty with the help of Montessori of Nanzhao Mongolia. He was the seventeenth grandson of Qian Duan, the satrap of Wuwei in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the sixth grandson spread to Duan Siping. Duan Siping served as the shogunate commander (deputy commander of the small government), and later became our maritime commander because of the meritorious military service. In the second year (929), Yang Ganzhen took Zhao Shanzheng's place, established the principle of justice, and changed Yuan to Sheng Sheng. Brother Yang Zhao pointed out that Duan Siping was the emperor. Under suspicion, Yang Ganzhen was anxious to kill Duan Siping.

During being hunted by Yang Ganzhen, Duan Siping was inspired by divination at Xiushan Shrine and hid in his uncle's tribe. Good officials are closely related to Duan Siping, and Duan Siping's younger brother Duan Siliang and his strategist Dong Jialuo are sent to protect them.

In 930, Yang Ganzhen's position was usurped by his younger brother Yang Zhao. After Yang Zhao succeeded to the throne, he was replaced by Yuan Daming.

Duan Siping borrowed thirty-seven barbarian soldiers from Dongwu to attack Yanggan Town in Shicheng, and took Dong Jialuo as his strategist to attack Dali in all directions.

At that time, Yang Zhao and Chen Bing were under the bridge, but Duan Jun could not pass. Duan Siping had three dreams in his sleep that night: "People have no heads; Jade bottle has no ears; Second time around ",puzzled by this, his strategist Dong Jialuo pointed out that Duan Siping's dream is a big omen, because" you are a husband, and you have to go to the first day; Jade bottle goes to the ear to be king; If there is no suitable person in second time around, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted. On that day, Duan Jun found a woman engaged in yarn washing and guided Duan Jun to a place suitable for the army to cross the river. He said, "People come from the end of my river and horses come from Sansha. My country is called Dali. "

Duan Siping's troops successfully crossed the river according to the instructions of the yarn washing women. Yang wrote a letter of defeat and committed suicide. After learning the news of defeat, Yang Ganzhen abandoned the city and fled. Captured by Duan Siping Army, Yi Ning perished. In the seventh year of Daming (937), Duan Siping ascended the throne, established Dali, and established Yuanwende, which remained Dali.
