The official family's twists and turns are really admirable.
"Fu Xiang, do you think the officials were preparing from the beginning to eventually let the mining city guards take over the defense of Dali? I mean in the early years when the officials were marching south."
Han Qi had to think this way.
The guards in the mining city are different from the miners in the mining city. In the official industrial system, all guards responsible for security implement a three-year rotation system.
In other words, the Duan family in Dali can use the mining city to guard, but they also have to accept the guard rotation system in the official industrial system.
This also ensures that the Duan family in Dali cannot develop their own team and must always be controlled by the state... Whether it is a merchant or an official industrial system, it all belongs to the state.
As for whether the guards of the mining city will betray...just look at the situation in the workshop city and you will know that there is no possibility of it.
What's more, the guards of the mining city currently fighting in Dali were rotated from the workshop city to the mining city last year.
The loyalty of those guards is unmatched even by the Western Army.
"I am also not certain."
Fu Bi was really unsure. He couldn't believe that a fifteen-year-old boy could predict what would happen ten years later and directly lay the groundwork for it.
But if this were not the case, why are things that happened more than ten years ago being used today?
From a purely defensive point of view, it is more beneficial to stick to one city than to rotate back and forth. In other words, the rotation system designed by the officials in the early years is completely unnecessary for the guard industry.
Is it really set for the current Dali? It’s terrible!
Wen Yanbo had very little input in the planning of Dali. First, the army was going on an expedition and the Privy Council was busy with affairs, so he focused too much on the affairs of the Southern Expedition.
Second, Wen Yanbo wanted to stay out of the matter and watch the officials' plans for Dali as a bystander.
As a result, Wen Yanbo felt very powerless.
He can be sure that in the early years when the officials personally conquered Dali, they already had the idea of taking Dali, so they had a backup plan early.
Not only the mining city, but also the official's agreement to marry Duan Guifei was probably a back-up for what happened today.
Presumably in Dali, the officials had already seen the signs of Gao's intention to rebel...
Officials' plans are never planned one at a time, but are interconnected and advanced layer by layer. Alas! This is a monster.
Lu Huiqing now understood the overall layout of the official family, and knew what to do next.
The general trend has been formed. If he, Lu Huiqing, can't let Duan Silian enter the situation, he will even look down on himself.
He didn't dare to compare with the official's grand strategy, but he felt it was okay to play small tricks in front of Duan Silian.
"Now the King's Division of the Southern Expedition has quelled most of the rebel teams in Dali, leaving only a few rebels who are stubbornly resisting."
"What a blessing to King Duan. It won't take long before King Duan can return. By then, Hui Qing will have completed his mission. If there is anything wrong during this period, I hope King Duan will not care about it."
The official asked Duan Silian to reveal some of the battle situation, and Lu Huiqing certainly knew what he meant.
Therefore, he just talked about the situation with Duan Silian. As for the specific details... let this idiot figure it out for himself.
"Lü Guanban, how much will you reduce your troops? What will happen to the Shangguo army? Does Lu Guanban know?"
Duan Silian is really at ease now, and there are always signs that Shangguo really has no intention of getting involved in Dali.
The king of Dali is really going to be handed over to him in the end.
Therefore, at this time, he also needs to consider how to stabilize Dali after returning to Dali.
The Gao family rebelled and was rescued by the guards of the mining city. There was not much war in Dali, and the damage to Dali was not great.
He believed that the Gao family would not wipe out the entire royal family.
Now that the king's division has put down the rebellion, after he returns, he can accept the surrendered troops from the king's division. That way, he should have available troops, and he won't have to worry about the evil intentions of those barbarians.
"Submit troops? King Duan is overthinking it. Hui Qing has never heard of any mention of surrendering troops in the report. They are all about annihilating the enemy."
"Prince Duan also went to Gongfang City to observe the power of our Song Dynasty's firearms. Under the artillery fire, the general couldn't help but watch."
This... Duan Silian was stunned. It was completely beyond his expectation. But if he thought about it, it was just like this.
He should have thought of such a result when he saw Song Dynasty firearms.
"King Duan, the soldiers of the Gao family in Dali are brave and brave, which is really rare. I heard that the resistance was stubborn and refused to surrender until death, so I didn't understand the king's division. If King Duan hadn't sent someone to deliver the message, I might have been besieged by the whole of Dali..."
"Alas...why did I march to the south in the Song Dynasty? To quell the rebellion in Dali, but I have to bear the consequences..."
Lu Huiqing doesn't need to act. Such rumors have been circulating in the country, and Lu Huiqing has had such thoughts. Speaking out at this time, it seems particularly sincere.
Duan Silian had no intention of listening to Lu Huiqing's nonsense. Now he had only one thought in his mind: Without soldiers, what would be the point of being the king of Dali?
Not to mention those Wuman tribes, no one even in Me City would care about him.
This is not the most important thing. He is thinking that the day when his Duan family arrives in Dali, the Duan royal family will be destroyed.
Regardless of whether it was the Gao family or the Yang family, Duan Silian never believed that the Song army could kill them all. Even if there were a few remnants, it would be more than enough to deal with the Duan family... He only had thirty or fifty personal guards.
What should I do?
Dali is not the Song Dynasty. It does not mean that civil servants are higher than military generals. It is even said that military generals have a much higher status than civil servants. Dali's power relies on the military commanders. Without the team, for Duan Silian, there is no power.
What does it matter if the so-called King of Dali does it or not?
"Lu Guanban, help me...!"
Duan Silian was also anxious, even he himself didn't know how to say such a thing.
How to ask Lu Huiqing to help him? What he wants now is to return to Dali as late as possible, so that he can have time to think of countermeasures.
In the Song Dynasty, this could not be achieved through normal official channels.
"Prince Duan, where do you say this? You are the king of Dali, and I am just an envoy, so how can I help you?"
Lu Huiqing was really shocked. He thought that this relationship would take a few days to slow down, and then he would add more information and finally accuse the guards of the mining city.
Unexpectedly, Duan Silian fell down before this happened... This is a fundamental difference.
In Lu Huiqing's view, it was not a big deal to lose the soldiers, it was just a matter of recruiting them again. As long as Dali's civil servants were still there, it didn't matter.
"Lü Guanban, Xiao Wang kindly asks Lu Guanban to mediate. After Wang Shi quells the rebellion, Xiao Wang can stay in Bianliang for a longer time..."
What do you mean? You eat and drink for free and don’t want to leave? Do you want to miss Yunnan?
"Lü Guanban, Xiao Wang tells me the truth. Failure to surrender means that Xiao Wang has no troops, and it is really difficult for him to gain a foothold among the many black barbarians. I sincerely ask the king to show mercy and wait for Xiao Wang to think of some countermeasures."
At this time, Lu Huiqing understood. I dare you that this boy really wants to be the King of Dali... I don't even think you can eat Li Bowl rice.
But it seems like this is the right time.
"King Duan, this is wrong. You have a team, and it is not weak."
