Chapter 199?? The people return(1/2)
The Tubo state envoy was coming to Huichuan.
This is explosive news, and it is also coming to Huichuan when the Nanzhao envoy negotiated with Li Yan.
Not to mention that the officials of the Nanzhao mission were frightened, they probably could imagine that once Li Yan saw the envoy of Tubo, the result could be imagined.
The Nanzhao delegation was shocked.
But Zuo Yan and the others were confused.
They knew that the Tubo Kingdom had not sent envoys to Huichuan, and there was no news at all. Li Yan suddenly said that the Tubo Kingdom had sent envoys to come.
This is not.
When Zuo Yan saw Li Yan's words, he looked at Li Yan in confusion.
Even Shi Kuan and the others were the same.
but.
When they said this, they immediately understood what Li Yan was going to do.
Playing hard to get.
I wanted to use the words of the Tubo envoys to force the Nanzhao envoys to show their trump card so that I could further know how many people in Xichuan still live in Nanzhao.
When Zuo Yan and the others understood, they immediately looked at the Nanzhao delegation and the others, wanting to see something from their expressions.
And at this time.
Zheng You was shocked, and Meng Sheng was so shocked that he wanted to stop Li Yan from leaving, "Your Highness Ying, you have something to say, and you have something to say."
Li Yan stopped his steps to leave and looked at Meng Sheng with a playful look.
"It was your Nanzhao that asked for peace, not my king. Even if you don't want to talk to me, what else can I talk about? If I want to destroy you, Nanzhao, it is just a matter of order. If you don't send it back to the people of Xichuan, then there is no other matter." Li Yan was not really not wanting to talk, but just wanted to find an excuse to force Nanzhao to send those people back.
More than 40,000 people cannot be only half.
As for how many people are dead or disabled, Li Yan doesn't know, but I think there must be at least 30,000 people who are still alive.
No matter which one is disabled, Li Yan must take them back to Xichuan.
Li Yan said to death.
After Meng Sheng heard this, he seemed quite unacceptable.
I am measuring in my heart whether to agree to Li Yan’s request.
The people are easy to talk about, but he did not receive instructions from their king Sheng Fengyou about the wealth he had captured in Xichuan.
Even Li Yan asked them to return the territory of the Tang Dynasty that Nanzhao once occupied.
And these things, Meng Sheng was not instructed by Sheng Fengyou.
Meng Sheng was in a dilemma, and at the same time, he was also quickly measuring how much more Li Yan said was enough to talk about.
In an instant, Meng Sheng seemed to have an idea and bowed to Li Yan and said, "Your Highness, King Ying, I can promise Your Highness to send the people of Nanzhao back to Xichuan. However, for the matter of wealth, I can only agree to return two million stagnants of money in Xichuan. As for the matter of territory, this is a historical issue. Your Highness asked to return those territory to the Tang Kingdom. I cannot make any decision on this matter. Please give me and the country some time to consider what to do?"
Li Yan smiled.
Zuo Yan and the others also laughed.
Li Yan and the others laughed at Meng Sheng, but they really wouldn't show their trump card if they didn't force them.
And this forced people can send it back.
He even said that he would return two million stagnants of money in Xichuan.
As for the matters of the territory, he dared not accept it.
Li Yan also knew about the affairs of the territory. Even if he was born in the Nanzhao royal family, he would not dare to agree to such a thing.
Besides.
Before Nanzhao could reach the point of life and death, it was basically impossible for Li Yan to request the return of the large territories that Nanzhao had occupied the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Li Yan held troops on the Nanzhao border, Nanzhao would not have agreed quickly.
Regarding this.
Li Yan did not move his steps anymore, sat down again, looked at Meng Sheng and said coldly: "How many people in Xichuan are planned to return to Nanzhao? Don't tell me that it is still 21,000 people. What I want to see is 42,000 people. One less person will be compensated 1,000 guan, one injured 300 guan. This is the bottom line that I give you. If you can't do it, then see it on the battlefield."
"Your Highness, is this too high? I, Nanzhao, is my poor and weak, and the return of two million guan in Xichuan has emptied my Nanzhao's treasury. I, Nanzhao, can't afford to pay such a sum of money." Meng Sheng was shocked when he heard Li Yanliang come out with a bottom line.
His heart was like a mirror.
The 42,000 people mentioned by Li Yan cannot send back 100%.
Moreover, before he set out, the king of Nanzhao, Sheng Fengyou, gave him a basic number of 30,000 people.
He even knew that at least half of the 30,000 people were disabled.
As for Sheng Fengyou, he was only willing to return 30,000 people, and the other 12,000 people were already dead by almost half, and the rest were the female workers.
Nanzhao needed these female workers, so Sheng Fengyou was willing to return 30,000 people.
But now, although Meng Sheng is willing to return all the people of Xichuan, even so, the compensation that Nanzhao wants to compensate Li Yan for those who are dead and disabled is already exceeding the limit he can bear.
After counting this, the compensation Li Yan asked for has reached more than 10 million.
More than one million trump cards are equivalent to the current tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty in the second half of the year.
But.
Li Yan was such a lion, so he would not care whether Nanzhao gave it or not. "What should be said, I have already said. I will return the people to Xichuan first and compensate you. Nanzhao can provide them every month. As for whether to use wealth or silk cloth to pay for it, it is your Nanzhao's affairs, and it has nothing to do with me. Even if you make a mistake in Nanzhao, you have to pay for the mistakes you made before. I hope that within a month, I will see the people of my Xichuan return, if I don't see the people of my Xichuan in a month, then at that time, I will take all the soldiers of Xichuan directly to Yangjume City, the capital of your Nanzhao. At that time, I will not give you any room for peace talks in Nanzhao. I will let my Xichuan soldiers directly capture your Nanzhao's capital."
Li Yan's tough attitude at this moment directly pushed Meng Sheng and others to a little breathless.
What Li Yan said in the end was a tough warning.
Warn them and Nanzhao not to try to be clever, nor to think that Li Yan is a good object to deceive.
After Li Yan said this, he stood up and walked out of the yamen hall, leaving behind the back of his head for the Nanzhao envoys.
This also made Meng Sheng and others at a loss.
Talk about this.
Even their requests were not made, and this was not a peace talk.
even.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Xichuan did not hear it.
Otherwise, he would not have thought about his life.
If you dare to scold the King of Xichuan, it doesn’t mean you are seeking death.
Meng Sheng and others had no choice but to return.
The peace talks have ended, and they have to hurry back to Yangzhumei City to report the results of the peace talks to their Majesty.
Seven days later.
When Zheng You, Meng Sheng and others returned to Yangzhumei City, and when they saw their king Sheng Fengyou, they exclaimed the grievances they suffered in Huichuan City to Sheng Fengyou.
He even said that Li Yan was useless.
But when they talked about the result of the peace talks, Sheng Fengyou started to get furious as Meng Sheng and others when he heard this.
But being furious has no effect on Nanzhao at present.
Even if he wanted to conscript troops to stop Li Yan's attack, it would not take a day or a night.
Moreover, the countries around Nanzhao have begun to stare at Nanzhao, and Sheng Fengyou has no time to recruit and organize troops at this moment.
Besides, there are not many soldiers and horses that can fight in Nanzhao.
Even if he included the old soldiers in Nanzhao, he could only recruit 50,000 troops at most, and there was even less food and grass.
Unless Nanzhao doesn’t want to live a life in the future, everyone will be soldiers.
final.
After being furious, Sheng Fengyou calmed down and said, "Return the 34,000 people in Xichuan to go back. As for the money, as Li Yan's children said, they will be paid back every month. After my Nanzhao recovers, I must let him and Li Yan's children vomit out the money at that time."
More than 10 million guan, nearly 16 million guan, he could still bear the pain in Nanzhao.
After Sheng Fengyou took over the power of Nanzhao, he also understood the crisis facing Nanzhao at the moment.
Whether it is Tubo, Piao Kingdom, or other small countries around him, he can still deal with it.
But as Li Yan from Xichuan, he really can no longer deal with it.
Therefore, he could only stabilize Li Yan first and then take the funeral.
With Sheng Fengyou's decision, the imperial edict began to be issued.
As Sheng Fengyou's imperial edict was issued and various notices of peace were spread to Nanzhao, the people who originally planned to flee seemed to stop.
at the same time.
The people of Xichuan who were assigned to various military governors or governors' offices also began to be collected and prepared to return them to Xichuan.
The one-month time limit is approaching.
