"Later, after the eldest and second emperor brothers entered the dynasty, Tubo gradually turned to Siam. It has indeed gained a lot of benefits in recent years, but it has paid more. The Siamese people gained control of Tibet ten years ago. The right to operate and immunity at any location, so the Siamese have been superior to others in Tubo over the years. They can whip me Tibetans at will, and they can also forcefully buy Tibetans’ shops or villages at low prices, forcing many Tibetans to lose their lives and become homeless.” Speaking of this, the third prince's eyes looked helpless. He shook his head and sighed, "Actually, I don't need to say more about this. When General Xie entered the city, he should have seen that most of the shops in the capital are owned by Siamese and Tibetan ones." Merchants used to deal with Dali. Later, the First World War in Southern Xinjiang lasted for more than ten years, completely cutting off Tibetan trade routes and forcing Tibetan merchants to go to Siam to make a living. However, the Siamese people did not regard the Tibetan people as human beings at all. Look, the Tibetan merchants were forced to return to Tibet to work as farmers or to be slaves to the Siamese. Now it can be said that the Siamese have completely controlled the Tibetan trade routes. As for the mines and salt mines, it goes without saying. Alas !”
"Although His Highness the Third is a young man, he has extraordinary vision and his subordinates admire him very much." Xie Lun nodded and sighed, "I'm afraid His Highness and His Highness don't think so. I heard that until now Your Highness His Royal Highness and the Second Highness also have private contacts with the Siamese royal family. To be honest with the Third Highness, half a month ago, we also intercepted a secret letter sent by the Siamese royal family to His Highness’s house. If this secret letter falls into the In the hands of the eldest prince, I am afraid that the eldest prince will not come to see General Zhao today. "
The third prince was startled and frowned: "The eldest brother actually still has contacts with Siam?"
"Your Highness, please take a look." Xie Lun took out a secret letter from his arms and placed it on the table.
The third prince was so busy opening it that he immediately stamped his feet angrily at a glance: "The Siamese are actually trying to annex Tubo. I'm afraid they don't have such a big appetite!"
"The Siamese army has no advantage at all in southern Xinjiang. It will be a matter of time before they are defeated. At this time, they are naturally considering their escape route." Xie Lun took a sip of tea and said, "The First and Second Highnesses are members of the Siamese Emperor. The son-in-law, through the hands of these two sons-in-law, annexed Tubo and made this unique land of Tubo become the rear area of Siam. It was naturally a great thing. However, the news about the Emperor of Siam was too blocked. Now What's the situation in Tubo? Could it be that Dali would let them do such unworthy things under his nose?"
The third prince was silent for a long time, and then he met Xie Lun's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "General Xie, doesn't Dali also want to annex Tubo?"
"Why did Dali want to annex Tubo?" Xie Lun curled his lips sarcastically and raised his eyebrows as he asked the third prince, "Does it mean that the third prince thinks that Dali is as keen on invading neighboring countries as Siam?"
"That's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand me, General Xie. It's just..." The third prince hesitated, and after a long time he finally said, "It's just that Dali's troops are approaching the city now. If Dali continues to surround the Tubo Imperial City like this, then Naturally, Tubo is no longer a country."
"Why did the troops of Dali come to the city? Your Highness should know better than I do," Xie Lun said sarcastically. "Is it possible that our northwest army is not waiting for Dali anymore? Why did it have to leap thousands of miles into the ice and snow of Tubo? If His Highness does not welcome us, we I don’t want to wait any longer, but if Tibet and Siam are not completely separated, Dali will not withdraw its troops.”
