Chapter 563: Diplomacy Fails

There can be no chaos in Xiao Hui's position, Fujiwara Mitsuko doesn't care about the life or death, and no matter what the Japanese bird country loves, it is not within Xiao Hui's consideration at all, but it is to maintain the situation in this region, so that Song and Goryeo have problems, and they can't enter the stage of rapid development.

So Xiao Hui had an attitude of wanting to engage the two of you, and said with a smile: "Today is here, and the interest in this entertainment is strong." Between this time, Song Guo was not officially invited to participate, it was an informal occasion, the prime minister was in charge, Wang Yan left the scene, and you are not having fun here. ”

Jin Zhiming, the deputy envoy of the center, responded: "Xiao Xiang is right, this time he actually let undesirable people come in for a long time, affecting everyone, my fault, my fault." Lord Xiao Wang, please leave, are you okay? ”

Hahaha –

There was a burst of laughter in the hall again.

It was openly expelled?

This made Li Xiahui frown again. She did not want to see Wang Yan, and the conflict of views was relatively strong, but it was really not good to ridicule Song Guo like this, so that she didn't even want to pay respects.

At this point, Lao Xiao, who is known as the god of war, is not so divine in her mind, it feels like this, damn it, all men are big idiots with fat brains, and there are no surprises.

Thinking so, Li Xiahui glanced at Xiao Hui with some dissatisfaction.

Lao Xiao chuckled mentally, thin and cold. Lao Tzu is here to maintain stability, and he never expects to achieve anything. But Lao Xiao is also lustful and obscene, and he has long coveted the Li family's newly grown stunner, and now it seems that it is troublesome, and it is all to blame on this damn Wang Yan.

So Lao Xiao looked at Wang Yan and said unhappily: "Lord Xiao Wang is not leaving, the landlords have invited you to leave, haven't you heard?" ”

"I'll go."

Wang Yan got up and walked to the middle, and the song and dance troupe performance stopped and retreated. But Wang Yan stood firmly in the middle and said, "Before leaving, I have to finish what I need to say, this is my responsibility." The reason why I was so anxious was that I knew that after leaving this gate, diplomacy would be over, and it would be impossible to get the opportunity for formal talks in the future, and there would be no results. ”

Li Xiahui was stunned and looked at him with some surprise.

"Yes, you're a little self-aware, that's good." Xiao Hui laughed.

Wang Yan said: "Old Xiao Xiangye is not busy expressing the position of Liao. I know that a weak country has no diplomacy, and talking to the Sanhan people is actually equivalent to talking to the Liao people. ”

At this point, all the Goryeo officials, including Li Xiahui, stared at him like the bottom of a pot.

Lao Xiao raised his wine glass and took a sip and nodded slightly.

Wang Yan said: "The purpose of the Song State to maintain diplomacy has not changed, I don't care whether it is pirates or the navy that is causing trouble in the Bohai Sea, I must immediately stop harassing Japanese trading ships and release Fujiwara Mitsuko immediately." As we all know, the Dengzhou to Daimyo railway was opened, and there were too many materials to exchange from Dengzhou Port to Kaijing Port in the future, which could be mutually beneficial. ”

"Of course, I also know that this is not in the interests of Liao. The reason why the Liao State did not allow the Goryeo people to buy the Song State directly was because the Liao State bought it from the Song State and then sold it to Kaijing through inefficient land routes, so that the Liao merchants had an additional interest rate difference, but the price of the materials obtained by Goryeo increased significantly. ”

Hearing this, Lao Xiao's face was like the bottom of a pot, and he felt the need to say it so ugly, shouldn't this be the way it should be? Damn it, don't the people and gangs in the market understand this? If you're not convinced, you'll have to have two million cavalry. For example, if the gang wants to buy and sell, you don't have a few ruthless people with knives on the platform, who will sell it to you cheaply?

Li Xiahui's heart was panicked when she heard it, this was not a problem that her father was worried about. But you have to have two million cavalry.

Seeing that Xiao Hui was about to speak, Wang Yan raised his hand and stopped: "Old Xiao Xiangye is dissatisfied with the response, listen to me first." ”

He also said: "I know that what I said is right, here I don't want to say that Liaoguo is wrong, just like the wolves on the grassland will inevitably stare at the sheep, this is the law of nature." If you want the wolves to divert their attention, you have to find something to replace the sheep, I understand that. So I demanded: release Fujiwara Photon, do not interfere in the trade between the Great Song and Japan, and at the same time carry out free trade between Goryeo and the Great Song. ”

"This may not be the business of Old Xiao Xiangye, but I know that you can't deal with the Liao Kingdom. So Song Guo won't let you work in vain. I will also promise you benefits, as old Xiao Xiangye, your achievements will be brought back to Liao. ”

Hearing this, Lao Xiao became a little interested and asked, "What are you going to exchange for?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Our industrial department is open to the export of steam engines to Liao, and in addition, our Song State promises: within three years, the ban army will be 200,000, and the box army will be 400,000!" ”

Bang Bang –

The wine glass in Lao Xiao's hand was removed. Hearing such conditions from the mouth of the Great Demon King is really mysterious.

Lao Xiao licked his lips fiercely, this is indeed a great temptation, and it is a diplomatic achievement that has never been seen since Lan Yuan. Of course, the premise is that it can be achieved.

Song Guo is simply a tube of toothpaste, every time he forces them to squeeze out a little bit. The first few times, Song Guo was forced to squeeze out the flintlock pistol exit, followed by the Shenwu cannon exit, and then the machine tool. This time, taking advantage of their internal difficulties and the situation in the Bohai Sea, they forced out the steam engine, which Lao Xiao was not very surprised.

However, forcing the Song State to promise a major disarmament, not to mention whether it is useful or not, it is indeed the biggest political capital since the alliance of the Yuanyuan. It doesn't matter if Yelu Hongji has a cold or not, this incident can make Lao Xiao's political reputation in the Liao Kingdom and within the clan reach its peak.

"The terms of this admission are very attractive, but there is no basis for empty words, can you do it I am skeptical?" Xiao Hui hesitated.

Wang Yan said: "There is no such thing as a stable world, and the birth of a diplomatic intention needs to reach a consensus, and then both sides will go back and work hard for their own interests." I don't want to export steam engines, at least now I don't buy and sell them in China, I don't want to export, but I just need the Bohai trade environment to achieve the Daimyofu, which is my political achievement. I also need to use your reputation as Lao Xiao to force my Great Song Dynasty to carry out military reforms. This is my interest, my exchange. ”

"You don't care what kind of old Xiao is in the Daimyo Mansion, you don't want to lose the interests of Bohai. But you need to get a steam engine that no one else can get to appease Shangjing, and you need to achieve disarmament that no one else can do, and achieve your indispensable political position in Liao. So if you and I can reach such a consensus, it will be a good start. If these consensuses cannot be reached in this restaurant where Yingge and Yan Dance are played, the contradictions in the Bohai Sea will inevitably not be turned around for a certain period of time. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Hui hesitated for a long time, and said with an incomprehensible expression: "The true appearance needs to be considered for some time. ”

"Farewell."

Wang Yan turned around and left the banquet......

Since ancient times, the urine properties of sticks have not been very reliable, but they are close to the love and production attributes of the Han people, which is enough for them to be protected, and to develop Kaijing to the extent that it is close to Tokyo.

Everywhere is full of lights.

The dedicated Goryeo Navy, like the British bandits of a certain period, was constantly stealing silver from the Balhai Sea, which was a navy-turned-pirate. In addition to handing over some silver to Papa's country, the Goryeo navy was also using the stolen silver to smuggle materials from Dengzhou Port in the Great Song Dynasty into Kaijing, further boosting the prosperity of Kaijing.

The elite group headed by the Li family is full of money, and the people of Kaijing have also benefited from it, and they are happy.

This is because they can obtain the materials of the Song State at a very low price to stabilize the price of Kaijing. This is the dividend of the people of Goryeo.

The situation was so good that they were protected by the invincible iron cavalry of their father's country, which may have made the Koreans forget the simple concept of "paying the bill".

During this waiting period, Wang Yan, as the special envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, was once again snubbed. Li Xiahui, who was in a dilemma, chose to hug the thigh of Lao Xiao, the god of war of the Liao Kingdom, accompanied Lao Xiao to watch the flowers everywhere, sang songs every night, and did not go to Wang Yan's door, Wang Yan was desperate for this.

Li Xiahui's enthusiasm was in line with Lao Xiao's temper, and he promised the Goryeo more benefits for this, including acquiescing in the Goryeo smuggling of goods from the Song Kingdom, and warning the Jurchens not to delay Goryeo during this period.

Xiao Hui's policy of participating in the politics of the Northern Prefecture of the Great Liao State belonged to controlling the rise of the Song State politically. But to put it bluntly, the flaws are also very big, and he is also tantamount to betraying the interests of Liao.

There are some things in history that are done right.

Lao Xiao and Li Xiahui had a ** transaction, acquiescing in Goryeo smuggling, which actually lost the hegemonic interests of Liao. Because the reason why the Goryeo people were not allowed to trade with the Song State on the Ming side was to transit through Yanjing of the Liao State and earn the difference. This is the interest of the "Yanjing Wall Street", but Xiao Hui has now divided this interest to Li Xiahui in order to control the reputation of the Song State. This process was to sell things for the Song Kingdom and to buy cheap things for Goryeo. But for Liao, "they are smuggling", and smuggling, of course, is to avoid taxes.

That's it.

For Dayan, to a certain extent, it can enter the diplomacy of Liao and hedge against Xiao Hui's policy. You can use Wang Gongchen's inextricable connections in the Liao Kingdom, and you can take advantage of some incompatibility between Xiao Hui and Yelu Hongji to maneuver.

But that was too long, and the Great Demon King, as a simple and rude person, was not Wang Gongchen, and he didn't have that much time to spend a few years to solve these problems through diplomacy.

So at this point, although Xiao Hui did not finally respond to whether to agree to Wang Yan's conditions, basically Wang Yan already knew that this diplomacy was a failure, and there should be no response.

It's not that Wang Yan's conditions are unattractive, but Xiao Hui doesn't trust Wang Yan to really achieve a disarmament policy.

In this process, Fujiwara Mitsuko is no longer important, and no one cares whether she is dead or alive. It doesn't matter whether to release Fujiwara Photon or not, the important thing is that she has become the medium and symbol of this point in time, and releasing her will not actually affect Goryeo's continued robbery at sea, but it will be tacitly regarded as a signal for Goryeo to surrender to the Song Kingdom. It will also become a signal for the Great Demon King and the Song State to "be responsible and righteous", which is not conducive to the strategy of the Liao State.

Perhaps Li Xiahui had her helplessness when she made such a decision, and the release of Fujiwara Mitsuko represented a compromise with the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State would not acquiesce in the smuggling of Goryeo from the Song State, which would cause too much loss to the interests of Kaijing, and there would be two million iron horsemen and the hegemonic pressure on the land border.

The above is Wang Yan's personal understanding, it doesn't matter what it is, what is important: waiting in the post house until mid-March, Lao Xiao did not come to meet, and only wrote a letter to respond to Wang Yan's disagreement with Song Guo's conditions. This is a matter for the Song State and Goryeo, not a matter for the Liao State.

Although he had known that this was the result, it was only now that the boots landed, and Wang Yan officially gave up, so he did not delay, and did not even notify the Ministry of Goryeo Rites, and began to start the return trip......
