Chapter 14 The first exchange between Xia and Song (5)
"Captain Zhao, can you discuss this matter again?"
He Li said to Zhao Yunlong again that he did not think that cede land was humiliating, but that the cemetery treaty of Daxia cut off all the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty from north of Tokyo City. Wouldn't that mean that the agreement would be agreed to the Tokyo City in the future next to the border of Daxia people? What's wrong?
A country's capital is on the border of neighboring countries!
Besides, this neighboring country has strong force and seems not very friendly to itself. Doesn’t that mean that if the neighboring country is unhappy one day, it will be able to kill its own capital?
Of course, if such a thing really happens, the Song Dynasty will definitely move the capital, but moving the capital is not a trivial matter.
It was precisely because of this that He Li asked Zhao Yunlong again if he could discuss it.
"What else is there?"
He Li said: "Captain Zhao, can we redeem this ceased land with property?"
After saying this, He Li paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating.
Soon, his expression became stronger again, as if he had endured some shame. He gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Yunlong: "As long as your country agrees, my Song Dynasty is willing to regard your country as the best country, and he will fulfill his vassal every year."
When Zhao Xu, Sun Fu and other seven other Northern Song ministers looked at He Li with shocked eyes, saying that the Song Dynasty was willing to submit to Daxia and recognize Daxia as the sect leader!
For these Northern Song officials, it is not a shame to cede land and pay compensation for the enemy's wives and daughters, just that is it.
He Li also knew that what he said was a shame to the monarch and minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. If it was spread, it would affect his reputation and be criticized.
But He Li had no choice now, and he had already lost face to the Jin people anyway (the Jin people asked the Song Dynasty's monarch and ministers to submit to the Jin Kingdom, but Song Qinzong and others did as they did). It didn't matter if they lost it again.
For the safety of the Song Dynasty, He Li decided to give up his old face and say this.
However, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty believed that it was extremely shameful for them to submit to others, but they did not think whether Daxia would accept it.
After hearing He Li's words, the Daxia staff looked at He Li lightly, and Zhao Yunlong even spoke directly: "No need! First, I, Daxia, will not agree to your request to redeem land with property; second, Daxia does not need you to be the sect leader."
As soon as Zhao Yunlong said this, Zhao Xu, He Li, Sun Fu and the other seven Northern Song officials turned blue and red, as if they were very embarrassed.
It's indeed shameful!
Recognizing other countries as the sovereign states is already a very shameful thing for these Northern Song officials. Moreover, they are still taking the initiative to recognize other countries as the sovereign states. However, what they did not expect was that the country that they took the initiative to think of the sovereign states did not agree?
It's like one day, a man with a strong sense of self-esteem decided to give up his dignity, honor and disgrace, and took the initiative to run to be a licking dog for the goddess. But unexpectedly, after he took the initiative to run, the goddess even disliked him.
This is naturally even more shameful!
But no matter how shameful he felt, the Northern Song officials did not dare to vent their feelings. They all looked very wonderful, which made Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and others in the tent just feel that they had a wonderful show.
Seeing that the Daxia people wanted to occupy the northern territory of the Song Dynasty was a foregone conclusion, He Li and others no longer got involved in this, but instead communicated with Zhao Yunlong and others to other aspects, either taking the initiative to ask or indirectly attacking them, but in fact they wanted to know if Daxia had any other thoughts about them.
Since people can be transferred directly from the Second Realm, Daxia does not need to hide her strength and accumulate strength in this world for many years in the Second Realm. Naturally, there is no need to sign too many treaties with the Northern Song Dynasty. Anyway, the Northern Song Dynasty will be captured by Daxia in the next few years.
But Daxia still gave some treaties for He Li and others to see, which were mainly for easier operation in the future.
He Li and others looked through the treaty and saw that the treaty did not require them to pay compensation or send women, etc., but rather "irrelevant" things. They were all very happy because the past, the peace agreements signed with other countries were all about compensation or cede land, especially the Jin people did the most excessively, not only to pay compensation for cede land, but also women, craftsmen, etc.
After this comparison, He Li and others immediately felt that these Daxia people were much more cute.
After some negotiations, He Li and others returned to Tokyo City. The Northern Song emperors and ministers in the city were still waiting for their news.
When the Northern Song people in the city saw the team who went to the Jin camp back, someone immediately climbed up and asked the Northern Song officers and soldiers who went with him, how did He Xianggong and the others meet with those strange people? Will those strange people still attack Tokyo City?
They were also very anxious and wanted to know the news. After all, this was closely related to them. If these groups of people had no idea about their origins, the strange strange people would also be besieged like the Jin people, and Tokyo City would really not be able to hold on.
The daily consumption of supplies for hundreds of thousands of people in the city was astronomical. When the Jin people besieged the city, the cats and dogs in Tokyo were eaten by the extremely hungry people of the Northern Song Dynasty.
But the Northern Song Dynasty officers and soldiers couldn't even enter the gate, and they knew it was a ghost.
The people wanted to ask the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty, but they saw that these high-ranking officials were all cold and no one dared to ask.
Seeing that the people were so anxious, an official said coldly: "The peace talks have been completed, and the people of Daxia will not siege the city, so you don't have to think too much!"
This made the Tokyo people gathered around the road cheer immediately, but some people saw that the officials were in a bad mood. They didn't seem to have a successful peace talk, and they couldn't help but feel pounding. Could it be that those strange people made some excessive demands?
After returning to the palace, He Li told Zhao Huan and others about their experience in the Jin camp. When he heard the various magical things of the Daxia people, the Daxia people came from another world, he was very surprised and curious. When he heard that the Daxia people wanted to occupy the territory north of Tokyo, they frowned solemnly. When he heard that He Li, on behalf of the Song Dynasty, he wanted to recognize Daxia as the sect leader country, but Daxia did not accept it, he felt extremely angry and humiliated...
After listening to He Li and others' narration, Zhao Huan said to a Northern Song official who was on the mission: "Thank you for your hard work, Emperor Brother, He Qing and Sun Qing, you are waiting... If you agree to peace with the people of Daxia, you will be of great significance."
Then, Zhao Huan asked unwillingly: "He Qing, can you discuss the matter of cede land with the people of Daxia?"
He Li shook his head and said, "The official family, this matter is probably not going to happen. The people of Daxia have already determined this matter."
"well……"
Zhao Huan sighed dejectedly. He naturally thought that after the cedes land, the Song Dynasty would definitely move the capital.
"That's right. Now the people of Daxia are in great power. After this crisis has passed, it's not too late to think about his method. The other requirements of Daxia people will be correct."
After saying the above sentences, Zhao Huan said: "These Daxia people are better than those Jin people. The Jin people are cruel and barbaric. It is good not to insult us. These Daxia people are quite kind-hearted and are willing to take the initiative to rescue the people in the city. But I don't know what their intentions are?"
He Li replied: "I will know sooner or later that I will know. The official family will have a Daxia envoy to come tomorrow. We should prepare early to welcome the Daxia envoy."
