Zhao Xi didn't know whether this should be called the Lord's Mansion or the Chief's Mansion. Anyway, it felt pretty good, and the scale seemed to be much smaller than the inner courtyard of the Bianliang Palace.
I have never been to the Dali Imperial City in Shanchan Prefecture, so I don’t think it will be any worse than this. I haven’t been to Shenglong Prefecture either... Even though they are all small border countries, their lives are not ambiguous at all.
Zhao Xi was walking around the Dong family's mansion at this time... He really had no intention of looking for the Dong family, let alone the Dong family's belongings, he just wanted to take a look.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has had a long and tiring journey. We will send someone to serve His Highness and rest..."
As for being afraid? I just want to take a look, but I can’t take it away... It’s far away in Dali, and it’s even more impossible to be an independent hospital or something. Alas!
It's a pity that it's a nice yard and a nice view, but we can't keep it.
"Which one is bigger, Weichu Mansion or Dongchuan Mansion?"
Zhao Xi's abrupt question really made people confused.
What do you mean? Dongchuan Mansion? That’s the one next to Chengdu Road in Song Dynasty...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Weichu Mansion is a multiple of Dongchuan County."
Not paying attention to the fierce look in Yang Xing's eyes, Duan Lianyi lowered his head and spoke respectfully.
He hoped that the Song Dynasty would seek Dongchuan, even if Dongchuan actually supported the Duan family.
There is no way, Dongchuan County is far away from Shanchan Mansion, the key is that it is separated by Shicheng County controlled by the Gao family.
If His Highness the Song Dynasty exchanges the Dong family's territory for Dongchuan, Duan Lianyi considers that his father should be able to agree.
The Dong family was destroyed or dispersed by the Song army. In other words, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty had a great say in how to deal with the Dong family's territory. Even within the territory of Dali.
As for the Gao family, the Yang family, and some of the things they had planned, with the power of the Song Army's gunpowder bombs, no one would dare to have any objections.
It is true that the Duan family is the king, but being the king is quite frustrating.
The Gao family is the prime minister and the Yang family is the grand master. They have always been untouchable.
Therefore, Duan Lianyi really hoped to rely on the crown prince of the Song Dynasty as his backer. He was not so strong at first, but after seeing the power of the Song Dynasty's firearms, he became more determined in this idea.
"Oh, it seems that Weichu Mansion is pretty good."
Zhao Xi did not want to follow Duan Lianyi's words. Regarding the current situation in Dali, no attitude is the best attitude.
Duan's respect is not to the extent that Guochao would stand up for them. Besides, Guochao doesn't have the ability to do so now.
He changed the topic naturally, as if he asked casually just because he had heard of Dongchuan.
The Dong family took Xinruan away and left the others untouched. They must have thought they could come back... The Song army entered and could not permanently occupy his territory.
As for the companies in Dali, without the gunpowder bombs, they are all the same. This balance is not so easy to break.
Moreover, the Song army did not seem to have any intention of destroying the Dong family, but only imposed a slight punishment. In the end, this place will come back, and the Weichu Mansion still belongs to the Dong family.
Is that really the case?
"Your Highness, we found food and grass..."
Before the messenger could continue, Zhao Xi waved his hand to stop him.
"Xi is annihilating Nong Zhigao this time, which bothers you all. Now that the Dong family has taken in Nong Zhigao and stubbornly resisted, there is no need for the Dong family in the Wei Chu Mansion and the Lord's Mansion."
"As for the Dong family's money and food, I hope you won't dislike it for the trouble we have brought with it, and send someone to collect it. It can be regarded as a reward for our trouble."
"Also...forget it, let's discuss it later."
I was originally waiting for Zhao Xi to continue talking about, for example, the lord's residence, the Weichu Mansion, and...
As a result, it just stopped.
How to divide some money and food? Even if it is divided, won’t the Dong family have to give it back when they come back?
The Song Army did not really destroy the Dong family. It seems that they deliberately let the Dong family escape. If the Dong family had not known what happened and tied up Nong Zhigao, it seems that the Song Army even intended to let Nong Zhigao escape...
It’s scary to think about it carefully! You can’t think about it any more. After all, now that Nong Zhigao is dead, the Song army has no reason to stay in Dali.
It doesn't mean that Zhao Xi has the right to do this. It doesn't make sense to talk about the ownership of other people's territory so easily in other people's territory...
However, Zhao Xi said it naturally, and they listened reasonably.
There is no way, the situation is unforgiving.
Some things that I had originally thought about were buried in my heart after the gunpowder bombs were fired. It was obvious that facing the gunpowder bombs, not to mention the soldiers, even they were timid.
Since the Song army only annihilated Nong Zhigao, even if it was very unreasonable to show off their power in Dali, they could tolerate it for the time being.
He was prepared to do something sinister, but was forced back by the disparity in strength. He had to continue to show respect and entertain this kind of troops from other countries who penetrated deep into his own country!
…
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty was ill and was not acclimated to the soil, causing vomiting and diarrhea.
Continuous requests to see him were turned back. The royal family of Dali even summoned the imperial doctor, but he was rejected.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not want to make others sick, but His Royal Highness the Princess did not trust the country of Dali and even threatened that her brother's illness was caused by the food provided by Dali.
"This is where we have to stay!"
This is a very obvious thing. It is not known whether His Highness the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty is really ill.
But there is nothing they can do about this dishonest behavior.
The Song army has taken over the city defense, and the trebuchets that project gunpowder bombs have also been borrowed and placed on the city wall, as if waiting for someone to attack.
And Di Qing, who patrolled the city continuously every day, seemed to really regard this place as a city of the Song Dynasty.
Attack? Attack what? They are also in the city. I just don’t know if the trebuchets are also aimed at their camp.
This is a big deal, because you know the person is not sick, but you still have to treat them as if they are really sick.
Zhao Xi had no choice but to use such childish tactics.
There is copper in Dongchuan County, which Zhao Xi has an impression of. The question is where there is copper in Dongchuan County, he is not sure.
So, I just had to go and have a look.
Zhao Xi knew that it was impossible to occupy the Weichu Mansion just because the Dong family took in Nong Zhigao.
This is the hinterland of Dali. It is impossible for the imperial court to manage this enclave full of barbarians, and the Dali Kingdom will not allow it.
The reason why they are still complacent now is because all the forces in Dali Kingdom know that Master Wang cannot stay here forever.
However, Zhao Xi didn't want to go back just like that. He originally wanted Nong Zhigao to escape, so that he would have a reason to chase him...
But now, the Dong family has handed over Nong Zhigao very quickly. Taking their city again is probably the limit of the endurance of all the forces in Dali.
If they continue to be unyielding to the Dong family, I'm afraid they will really break up. Although Zhao Xi can take the team back, the copper mine matter is gone.
He could have killed Nong Zhigao a long time ago, but Zhao Xi's goal was copper. Now he only needed this last tremor, and Zhao Xi had to finish it no matter what.
So, Zhao Xi used this childish trick again.
As for what Duan Lianyi said, Zhao Xi didn't take it seriously. Considering the situation in Dali, what he said was equivalent to not saying anything.
Zhao Xi did not want to get involved in their internal fighting. Instead, he hoped that their situation would continue to deteriorate so that when the dynasty rose, he would have an excuse to take over Dali.
