538. July 4, three years, sunny, weak countries have no diplomacy
The sunrise in the northwest is later than in Nanjing, after all, it is three thousand miles away from the capital of Jinling.
Several months passed by. The Song Dynasty took more than a month to cross the entire Shaanxi and fight to Xingqing Prefecture. The two thousand miles of surprise attack made Xixia frigid, and in the end it was defeated because it could not cope.
Xixia was defeated, and the emperor was waiting at the city gate in the early morning. The little emperor looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a look of horror, but because there were Song soldiers around him, the only thing he could do was to wait for what was coming in full view of the public.
As soon as Chen Shi arrived, a big flag was slowly raised outside Xingqing Prefecture. The Song flag fluttered in the wind made all the people in Xixia feel trembling. However, there is no better way to do this now. I just hope that Song Guonian can let Xixia live in the past relationship.
The Song-character flag gradually approached, and the chariots and horses were slapped. Hundreds of heavy armored warriors took heavy steps to stir up dust. Although the number was not large, they looked like they were invincible. The light cavalry behind them were also well-equipped. Before arriving at the city gate, they spread out from both sides of the heavy armored infantry in a geese-shaped formation to move forward. Then the heavy cavalry Tiefutu, wearing heavy armor and vests, was shook the gate of Xingqing Mansion.
It's impossible to win... It's absolutely impossible to win...
The subjects of Xixia couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that such a Song Dynasty would never be defeated. They were trained too well and equipped too well. They were far from comparable to those of the rags in Xixia. They lost without any unjust.
When this team of elite soldiers came up, they were immediately listed at the gate of Xingqing Prefecture City, and finally a pure white horse came in the distance with a proud and arrogant step.
The person sitting immediately was either Song Beiyun. He came from the attention of everyone to the already colorful and dilapidated city gate of Xingqing Mansion and turned over and got off the horse.
The moment he landed, all the soldiers around him were marching in a straight manner, uniform and extraordinary intent, which shocked the little emperor of Xixia to retreat several steps.
Song Beiyun took off the bright silver armor from his head, showed his face and walked to the Xixia team. He raised his head slightly and whispered: "I have met Emperor Li of Xixia."
Xixia was a disdain for the Central Plains Empire in the early morning, but over time, even the people of Xixia themselves gradually adapted to this title and gradually got used to the despicable title of Xixia.
Although the Chinese book still uses Xia Kingdom to determine it, the spoken word still cannot escape the title of Xixia.
"I've seen the angel of the country."
In fact, Xiao Song still has a bit awkward to the title of this angel, but theoretically, the angels in East Asia and the angels in Europe are two concepts. There are people with wings and flying, and people on this side. But the same is that they are both very awesome, but one represents the divine power and the other represents the imperial power.
In this way, accompanied by the Emperor of Xixia, Xiao Song, led his horse from the Minister of the Xixia Prime Minister, slowly passed through the most prosperous main street of Xingqing Prefecture and entered the palace.
To be honest, the bad things of Xingqing Mansion made Xiao Song feel a little sorry for these people. If you want to say it is bad, you can't say it is bad. Anyway, just like the western countryside described, everything is yellow, puffy, gray, and a dry, dull, just like the wind in the northwest.
But if you want to say that it is bad, since ancient times, there has been a saying in Ningchuan that "the Yellow River in the world is rich in Ningxia". This place is definitely rich. I think... it is probably because of the architectural style.
Xiao Song actually didn't know much about Xixia, but once said to him that if Xixia was allowed to develop, according to the normal historical progress, the four major battles of Songxia's Battle of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, Linfufeng, and Dingchuanzhai will end with the victory of Xixia, and Fan Zhongyan will also be demoted and exiled because of the defeat of Haoshuichuan.
In the later battle between Xixia and Liao, Xixia would defeat Liao Xingzong's 100,000 elite troops, and severely defeat the Liao Kingdom, and may even be the fuse for the Liao Kingdom's fall.
If there is Liao Xingzong now, then according to age... it will be born in four years. If so... it is likely to be the little tiger's cub.
The Xixia was able to defeat the Song and Liao countries at the same time, which shows that the combat effectiveness cannot be said to be weak, but they have not yet fully formed. In addition, they have encountered a blow to reduce the dimension and colluded with Song and Liao...
Under such circumstances, Xiao Song felt that the best result was to press them to death, so he decided to use the Taishan stern approach directly in this negotiation.
After entering the palace, representatives of the two countries sat on both sides, and the Emperor of Xixia sat on the throne with a solemn expression.
Looking at the people in front of him, Xiao Song's eyes remained on the negotiation letter in front of him, while the Xixia negotiating group was a little nervous.
"Okay, everyone should start." After reading the contents of the negotiation book briefly, Xiao Song closed the book: "Let's talk about the responsibility of Xixia's subordinates this time."
Before he finished speaking, the other side was about to speak, but Song Beiyun frowned: "I haven't finished speaking yet, who will promise you to speak?"
The Xixia people in the whole room were angry, but their anger brought the Song Dynasty guards to carry the gun and the heavy armored soldiers had already pulled out their battle axe, and the murderous aura was filled with a moment.
Xiao Song raised his hand: "Emperor Li, you must know it well. Xixia was originally a prince of the Tang Dynasty. Now my Song Dynasty is orthodox. If you attack the border, you will be the best. Since the founding of the country, I have been reasoning. For the sake of the people of Xixia, you may have to restrain yourself."
After saying that, he gently tapped the table: "Now I am here to negotiate the follow-up matters with your country on the order of Emperor Tian. I hope you don't act rashly. Below I will briefly introduce the contents of the truce treaty to Emperor Li and Xia."
Finally, Xiao Song raised his eyes and glanced around, raised his eyebrows and raised a finger: "First, because of his trip to Xixia, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the people's admiration for Xixia for many years, so Xixia needed to issue a letter of nationality to apologize to the whole country of Song Dynasty from the king to the people. A monument was established at the border to mourn the soldiers who died in the Song Dynasty in order to defend the friendship between Song and Xia."
Then he raised his second finger again: "Second, I hope the Emperor of Xixia punished those who proposed the war, including the Xixia Central Secretariat and the Privy Council's Niuer, and the Du Branch's all staff punished them. The rest of the details are included in the State Letter. They include punishing local officials and civilian individuals and organizations participating in military operations. Those who are individual acts will be killed and will not be spared."
"The final result is this compensation." Xiao Song submitted the letter of state to the front: "There are detailed lists in the letter of state, which generally stipulates that the total amount of compensation is 50 million jin. The interest rate of one cent and four cents in the first three years is included in the principal, and the annual interest rate of three cents in the next seven years is included in the principal and interest. From this year to the first day of January ten years, the total principal and interest payments of about 110 million jin will be paid in ten years, and the compensation of 75 million jin will be included in the compensation of each local area."
After hearing this, the Emperor of Xixia almost fainted. He widened his eyes and looked at Song Beiyun, and stood up on the chair: "Angel, you are trying to force my Xia Kingdom to death!"
Song Beiyun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Let's discuss the five deductions of these five items: using capital to pay off debts, using cities to pay off debts, using land to pay off debts, using grain to pay off debts, and using industry to pay off debts?"
This kind of negotiation will naturally be endless in one day, and it’s okay to say that the rest is fine, the compensation... Xixia’s annual tax revenue is about 73 million guan. Putting aside the surplus of various expenses is about 30 million. After being repaid in the treasury in recent years, it will be used for various expenses. The treasury will be about 800 to 15 million guan left in the next year for disaster relief, reconstruction and other projects.
And these 110 million yuan, let alone ten years, can’t be paid back even for a hundred years! Even if the taxes in Xixia are not eaten or drunk for ten years, then it will only be seventy million yuan. Go to the underworld to get the extra 40 million yuan for him?
This is clearly a lion's mouth, and behind such exaggerated conditions, the people of Xixia know that there is room for maneuver as long as they are not stupid.
So a long negotiation began. During this period, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom also came, and then became a dispute between the Three Kingdoms. However, Song and Liao were allies. Song You entered the capital of the Western Xia before Liao Kingdom, so from the beginning to the end, Xiao Song took the dominance.
He was like a woman who bought fish in a vegetable market, and he was very careful. He had to make up for what he had won here. After more than ten days, he still had no clear decision.
But he was not in a hurry, just slowly negotiated the conditions and bargained slowly.
And the five major deductions that made Xixia cry and cry after the compensation were even more profound.
These deep pits depend on how Xixia chooses, but no matter how they choose, they will enter a vicious cycle.
For more than ten days, the Emperor of Western Xia kept giving Song Beiyun various things, from beauties from Western Regions to luxurious jewelry, but Song Beiyun refused them all. Only a purple jade coral that was bigger than his two fists was accepted by him because Jin Ling'er liked this color.
The price of accepting this is that the bargaining clause has been sharply reduced to ten years and is still 100,000 yuan.
The negotiations are still continuing, and Zhao Xing, who is far away in Nanjing, is already planning to go to Lushan to escape the summer heat.
He seemed to have no concern at all about the future victory and marriage negotiations involving the future destiny of the two countries. His whole day was to handle trivial matters in the court, and then fine-tune the internal policies. He was proficient in eating, drinking, gamble and other things in his spare time, and also learned to fight cocks and crickets.
If anyone asks, there must be some, but Zhao Xing never answers positively and continues to do his own things, as if he doesn't care about the negotiations in Xixia at all.
A few days ago, Yan Shu also set out for Liao Kingdom, and read the book to divide the spoils. His left and right arms all took responsibilities and were not under the jurisdiction of the imperial power, but Zhao Xing still did his own thing and did not care at all.
Someone from below reported secretly, but he kept the meeting and did not even have a court meeting for half a month.
The ministers did not know what Zhao Xing was playing, but King Fu was ordered to lead troops from Fuzhou to start guarding Jinling and form a junction with the Luzhou army.
This is obviously guarding against someone to change...
The little emperor changed, becoming stranger to the ministers, and was no longer the puppet emperor who could be rounded and flattened.
And the day after Yan Shu, Zhao Xing launched a palace battle, putting the empress dowager in the harem, cutting off all channels for her to contact the outside world.
Before the foreign relatives could react, a large number of people were arrested and sent to jail. Only then did everyone fully understand that the little emperor was going to seize power completely.
But now this situation... no one can say the first half, Zhao Xing is the sky!
The chaos in Jinling City did not last for a few days, and the Chai family was not over. Instead, they were commended three times for their contributions to combating the rebellion. Chai Dejin, who had no inheritance rights, was named the county duke. His status was suddenly raised and he was received by Zhao Xing himself.
However, when he came out, Chai Dejin's face didn't seem to be very good, but even King Zheng did not ask any questions.
This series of changes in the situation caught people off guard. While cleaning up the forces of foreign relatives, Zhao Xing swept all the industries controlled by foreign relatives into the name of the Workshop Business School.
This caused the strength of the Ministry of Works to soar instantly. Then, at the suggestion of the Minister of Works, Zhao Xing stripped out the five major colleges in the workshop from the workshop and formed a place called "Qinglong Academy", which was specially allocated by the Ministry of Revenue. Zhao Xing himself was the principal.
At this point, the Agricultural College, Law School, Calculation School, Literature School, and Business School in Qinglong College have completely become independent colleges, and the deans of each branch are the leaders of academic research from high-profile officials in the court.
Is there anyone who objected? Of course, there is, but what if it is opposed? Several big guys were just ecstatic about the establishment of a sect. At this time, they went up to pour cold water. If they didn't eat these opposition parties raw, they would be kind-hearted.
Of course, these things are actually minor operations that are intricate in the Song Dynasty, and they will not hurt their muscles or bones. There are no storms, because the eyes of the people across the country are nailed to the negotiations of Xixia.
Ten thousand yuan! This is the total tax revenue of the Song Dynasty in the eight years that is now in its prime. If these things become visible, the national strength of the Song State will expand unprecedentedly. Those who have experienced displacement, disappointed, and humiliated life will be filled with tears when they hear this.
On the day when the news of the Northwest victory came, the supply of wine in Jinling City was once in a shortage.
"As the dog guy said, I, Dasong, need a victory too much." Zhao Xing sat alone in Qinglong Garden, with a glass of wine in front of him: "It's a pity that both dog guys are not there. If you can drink a cup together at this moment, it would be a blessing in life. Do you think so? Steel eggs."
As he said that, he dipped some wine with chopsticks and put it into his nephew's mouth, but Jin Ling'er next to him snatched the child away: "How old is he? Do you give him a drink?"
"It's not a big deal to drink some...
"Go and go." Jin Ling'er took the child away impatiently: "Also, let's ask the people from Qinglongyuan to stop walking me in the future. If you knock on me early in the morning, you will be so annoying."
"Hi..." Zhao Xing leaned against the smile on his face and said, "Girl, you said that your brother will become the emperor of the ages by then. What kind of reward will you give to your man?"
"I don't know anything else, I just hope you still have brotherly feelings." Jin Ling'er rolled her eyes: "By the way, you said you wanted to design a national flag a few days ago. My dog guy also said that today I have a good idea and I will draw it for you later."
"Okay, I want to see what kind of flag my girl can make for me. This is the national character of the Song Dynasty, so you don't want to mess around." —
Today's update, you can see that this chapter is very difficult to write... After all, I just finished half an hour with an interest rate, but in the end I was wrong, so I just filled in a number and put it in.
Please help me calculate the correct number. Although the article cannot be changed, I have to know what I am wrong...
Chapter completed!
