Chapter 104: Qin Xia Negotiation Next
As soon as he entered the hall, Xingyu hurriedly put on a heroic appearance, and pouted: "I am the plenipotentiary representative of this negotiation, the deputy general (temporary) of General Longxilin of the Great Qin. β
There are a lot of people from Xia Guo's side, but the main ones who have the final say are Li Yuanhao's cousin Li Jier and the head of the Yeli family, Yeli Taiqi, both of whom are gray-haired old men.
When they heard that Zhongxingyu was just a Qin State Commander, they couldn't help frowning, their hearts were drumming, and their faces were even more cloudy, so they naturally felt that the other side was too contemptuous of them, right?
However, Li Jier is scheming after all, and he knew that the current situation was not good, so he immediately put away his emotions and took the initiative to ask:
"The envoy said that he was from the Qin State, but I don't know what the relationship between the Qin State and the Song Dynasty was? The King of Qin is the prince of the Song Emperor? β
Regarding these historical knowledge, Lin Jiang only knew a little bit about it, let alone Zhongxingyu, so he didn't know what to say after listening to it, so he could only shout according to Lin Jiang's "Haoheng" routine:
"What Song is not Song, Daqin is Daqin, His Majesty is the only Son of Heaven in the whole world, and it is your honor to be defeated by the Heavenly Soldiers."
Li Jier's face changed slightly when he heard this, although Zhongxingyu did not directly answer his question, but how could he not understand the title of "the only son of heaven"?
"Could it be that there was also a coup d'Γ©tat in the Central Plains? Song is dead? Li Jier couldn't help but guess in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he probably couldn't understand the current situation.
Seeing that the old man was silent, Bank of China was also a little hairy in his heart for fear of a storm on the other side, so he could only try to recall Lin Jiangjiao's routine, and pretended to be impatient and shouted:
"Don't ask so much, the general asked me to come to negotiate peace with you, and I won't be merciful when I ask so much! I'll tell you the conditions, and I'll ask if I don't understand. β
Yeli Taiqi didn't speak just now, but when he saw Zhongxingyu's attitude, he couldn't help but be angry, and his forehead burst into blue tendons, as if he was about to have a seizure.
Li Jier, who was beside him, hurriedly pulled his sleeve and signaled him to restrain himself a little longer, and the old man Yeli, who was born as a military general, barely held back.
It's not that Zhongxingyu didn't see Yeli Taiqi's reaction, in fact, he was very panicked, and even drew his sword at one point, thanks to Li Jier's timely blocking, otherwise this peace talk would have become a full-fledged martial arts.
Bank of China, who stabilized his mind, hurriedly spoke: "Lin Jiangjun gave a basic treatment plan, specifically the following:
A Xia State became a subject state of Great Qin, and the lord of Xia State was called Xia Gong in the future, because the previous Xia Duke Li Yuanhao had died in battle and would be succeeded by his legal heir Li Liangzuo. β
In fact, the two old men had already expected this, whether it was the Qin people or the Song people, if they wanted to destroy them, they would naturally not only send these people to besiege the city, and it was true that tens of thousands of party members were not vegetarians.
But Qin or Song could let Xia vassals be envoys of the king's festival, in fact, the previous Song had always done this, just because there was no decisive victory over Xia, and the conditions given were generally symbolic.
Now that Qin occupies the absolute dominance, it is difficult to say how many reinforcements there will be behind, there is no need for the Xia people to fight to the death, either they will leave the Western Regions or they can only accept it, after all, the inheritance of the Li family is also in the hands of the enemy, and they can't stand it if they don't go or lose their name.
"I don't know what Your Majesty wants my Xia Kingdom to do?" Li Jier's two cloudy old eyes stared at Zhongxingyu and pretended to ask respectfully.
The meaning of Li Jier's words is how much autonomy Qin gave Xia, which is quite important for a vassal, and if there is too much, it will definitely be unstable.
Zhongxingyu directly relayed what Lin Jiang handed over to him: "The vassal vassal states and the suzerains are naturally subject to the land and the people, and the tribute is given for military service, don't you understand such a simple truth?" β
Li Jier couldn't help but mock in his heart: "Can I not understand this?" Isn't it the quota that matters? β
Seeing that Li Jier didn't answer, Bank of China Yu continued: "This time the Xia army attacked my Wusi Zangduo Gansi and the two capital divisions made mistakes, and the people's land will naturally be deducted.
As for how much to withhold and how much to keep, General Lin and Mrs. Wuzang are still discussing in the rear, and then they will report to His Majesty for a ruling, so you can just wait obediently.
As for the tribute, Mrs. Wuzang has already pleaded, saying that you are not rich after these events. General Lin decided not to levy it for the time being, but the grain and grass of the Great Qin garrison and the money and grain craftsmen for the construction of the new city must be paid by you. β
When he heard this, his eyes widened angrily and he couldn't help but speak: "What is the garrison? What else is the new city to build? β
Although Zhongxing Yu was a little timid and courageous, after all, he shouldered the responsibility of "pretending to be 13", and after inhaling secretly, he glared back: "Xia Gong Li Liangzuo is young, and Xia Guo, including Wuwei City, is seriously damaged. How to defend the West for Daqin?
Therefore, General Lin decided to build a new city located in Huangshui, which was not only conducive to Xia Qin's commerce and trade, but also gave Xiao Xia Gong a better environment.
As for the garrison, there is such chaos in your territory now, and the general is also afraid of rebels and bandits or something, not to mention that there are no orphans and widows of Mrs. Tibet, I think it is necessary for Daqin, as the sect master, to support them and provide some protection. β
Bank of China Yu said this, don't the two old men still understand? This is because Qin Guo can't trust them, and plans to move the capital of Xia to the control of the Qin people, and then use the garrison to manipulate Li Liangzuo's mother and son, so as to completely puppet Xia State.
Reasoning, this kind of condition is absolutely unbearable, he can't wait to have a seizure right away, and let the young people of the Yeli family rush up and kill Zhongxingyu by throwing the cup.
But Li Jier has other ideas, now that the Xia army is defeated and demoralized, what can he do if he kills the envoy and wins the siege troops outside? Can it change the situation? And who can guarantee that Li Liangzuo will not have problems?
And if they resist at this time, they also rebel against Li Liangzuo, will their relatives send Brother Li Ning Ling back? You must know that he and Yeli Taiqi have followed Li Yuanhao to liquidate Li Ningling's faction, can he not settle accounts when he comes back?
Unless you make up your mind to go to the Western Regions, but there are also many powerful forces in the Western Regions at this time, and it is not necessarily better for them to rely on others if they go than to stay here.
And Li Jier also has an idea, that is, to stabilize the Qin people first, and then paralyze Qin Jun with financial beauties, and when Li Liangzuo is older and the Qin army has fewer garrisons, they will take the opportunity to occupy the passes and mountains of Longxi with an untimely momentum, so that they can restore the country?
So before that, the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts, gather the clansmen, show weakness to Qin, and then contact the Wuzang clan to plan a counterattack, instead of recklessly going to fish and break the net! Isn't this how the thousand-year-old history of the party and the clan has come all the way?
At this time, Yeli Tai was already angry and shouted: "We absolutely ...... such conditions"
"Agreed." Li Jier suddenly stepped forward and interrupted: "We completely agree!" β
