Chapter 750: The Great Unification and Peace Conference (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
The Song Dynasty negotiated peace.
The Southern Song Dynasty really couldn't stand the negotiation method of fighting and making peace at the same time, especially under the situation of continuous civil strife within the Southern Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, Zhong Xiangyi's army is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it has the momentum of Fangla's righteous army back then.
This also illustrates how unpopular the Southern Song Dynasty was in the south.
And Li Cheng and his gang are now eye-catching with Dazhongmei, which is very meaningful.
The people in power in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, Zhao Gou, Wang Yanbo, Huang Qianshan, Qin Hui, Zhu Shengfei and others, were very afraid that Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang would eventually all vote for Dazhong, and then they would destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
In desperation, Zhao Gou, who had always refused to let go, had to let go, so he didn't recognize Li Yan as his father, and almost accepted Dazhong's conditions.
In the end, the two sides reached a peace agreement (i.e., the "Great Unification Peace Conference") as follows:
The Song State is a vassal state of Dazhong, paying tribute to Dazhong every year, and coming to Dazhong every year (Song pays tribute to Dazhong every year with 300,000 taels of silver and silk, and horses), Li Yan canonized Zhao Gou as the lord of Song, and the two countries are commensurate with their uncles and nephews, and Zhao Gou calls Li Yan his uncle.
The two countries are bounded by the Yangtze River to the south - the north of the Yangtze River is owned by Dazhong, the south of the Yangtze River, the north of Hainan Island, the east to the sea, and the west by Cangshan-Daba Mountain as the boundary of Song Tu, and Jiangdong (the area of Jiangnan in the lowest reaches of the Yangtze River, including Shanghai in later generations) is owned by Dazhong.
In addition to these two main ones, there are a number of sporadic treaties between the two sides.
For example:
The Southern Song Dynasty resolved Zhao Li and Chuzhou.
Dazhong is not allowed to recruit Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang.
The Southern Song Dynasty withdrew across the Yangtze River within a month.
Wait a minute......
On the matter of negotiating peace, the Southern Song Dynasty was very sincere and active.
First, the Southern Song Dynasty quickly executed Zhao Li and had Zhang Jun take over Zhao Li's deployment and bring it south of the Yangtze River.
At the same time, Zhao Gou moved the capital from Jinling to Lin'an, Hangzhou.
Immediately afterwards, the veteran general Zong Ze was ordered by Zhao Gou to abandon all positions north of the Yangtze River and withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River.
Coincidentally, Zong Ze had just eaten a big defeat in Yang Yizhong.
There were also Du Chong and others persuading and threatening on the side.
In the end, Zong Ze had to cross the Yangtze River with his subordinates with hatred.
But—
Although the Middle Song Dynasty negotiated peace, the Southern Song Dynasty also completely withdrew across the Yangtze River.
But it's not that simple.
This was not simple, and was mainly reflected in the Shaanxi side, where the Western Song Army refused the order of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to retreat south.
And it's no wonder.
Song Xijun has grown up in Shaanxi for generations, which is their home and their roots, let them abandon their homes and roots and go to Shudi, how can they be willing?
This is also the fundamental reason why after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Western Army still held on to Shaanxi.
The Western Song Army was reluctant to evacuate Shaanxi, and the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had no choice.
In this way, if Dazhong wants Shaanxi, he must send troops to take over Shaanxi.
To be honest, the big and middle schools are very reluctant to do this.
First of all, Dazhong really can't muster the troops to do this now.
Secondly, the soldiers of Dazhong were also unwilling to do the things of Han people fighting Han people.
But in the current situation, it is really impossible not to fight.
After listening to the proposal of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Li Yan thought about it for a whole day before he made up his mind - fight!
If you don't fight, you can't do it.
If we do not take advantage of the current chaos in Shaanxi to recover Shaanxi, then after Shaanxi completes the reunification of the whole country, it will be difficult for Shaanxi to overcome and will surely become a stubborn disease that plagues Dazhong.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight, even if the current situation is very difficult for Dazhong.
Li Yan has always been resolute in doing things.
Soon, Li Yan issued an order ordering Zhang Gendarmes to go out of Tongguan, and Wang Yan to lead an army of 60,000 from Tokyo to Hedong and Fuzhou to fully recover Shaanxi (in fact, northern Shaanxi and central Shaanxi. Southern Shaanxi, that is, south of Hanzhong, Ankang, and Shangluo, was owned by the Southern Song Dynasty according to the treaty).
In Shaanxi, the current situation is very complicated, and it can be said that the four countries are vying for hegemony.
Therefore, it is not enough to rely on fighting alone, and it must be supplemented by political and diplomatic means.
Li Yan considered that Shaanxi would be the western border of Dazhong for a long time to come, not only bordering the Western Xia, but also bordering the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also possible to deal with the Uighurs, Tubo (Lhasa royal line) and other western forces.
As a result, Li Yan transferred Qiu Yi back from Central South China and made him the governor of Shaanxi, with full responsibility for Shaanxi's political and civil affairs.
In addition, negotiations between Dazhong and Western Xia are also in full swing.
Before the Western Xia delegation came to Dazhong, they didn't expect Dazhong's strength to be so strong, nor did they expect that the Southern Song Dynasty would give Shaanxi to Dazhong to make Dazhong border with Western Xia, and they didn't expect that Dajin would also negotiate peace with Dazhong, and they didn't expect that Li Yan insisted on not being compatible with relatives and not paying tribute and didn't want to marry his daughter to Western Xia, even if it was not his own daughter, even if he would be the queen in Western Xia, in short, there were too many things that the Western Xia mission did not expect.
Prior to this, the plan of the Western Xia was actually to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese army was fighting with the Jin army and the Song army in the north and south and urgently needed to stabilize their Western Xia, so that Dazhong would agree to their Western Xia occupation of northern Shaanxi, and all they did in the Western Xia was to declare themselves to Dazhong and give the position of Empress of Western Xia to Li Yan's daughter.
But now, it is clear that this is not working.
As a last resort, Li Zhizhong could only send someone back to Western Xia to ask Li Qianshun: How to talk?
It was during this period that the Central Song Dynasty began to fulfill the "Great Unification Peace Conference".
By the time the people sent by Li Zhizhong to ask for instructions returned, the army sent by Dazhong to recover Shaanxi had already set out.
In addition, during this period, the situation in Hedong also underwent some changes - Yundi Han'er mutiny killed the Shuozhou guard, Liu Qi seized the opportunity to attack decisively and recovered Shuozhou in one fell swoop, Han Shizhong was unwilling to follow, and then the troops went out of Yanmen Pass to recover Yingzhou, in other words, the Chinese army has established a bridgehead in Yundi, and the battle to recover Yundi has begun.
Dazhong's dispatch of troops to Shaanxi and the changes in the situation on the battlefield brought a lot of pressure to Western Xia!
You know, no one dares to guarantee that the Chinese army will not concentrate its forces to kill Hengshan in one fell swoop, and then destroy the Western Xia - at this time, if the Chinese army gives up Yundi, it actually has this strength, at least this opportunity.
As a result, the Western Xia became more desperate for an alliance - the top brass of the Western Xia did not want to bear the advance of the Chinese army that swept through the Jin army.
There was another incident that also prompted the Western Xia to urgently form an alliance with Dazhong.
This thing is that in the case of Yanyun's successive defeats, Daikin finally reached an internal unification and proposed peace to Dazhong.
And if China and Jin negotiate peace, not to mention who Yan Yun belongs to, the Jin people are bound to withdraw from Shaanxi, because Shaanxi is too far away from the Jin State, and in the case of losing Hedong and Yundi and being attacked by the Chinese army, the Jin State cannot take care of Shaanxi at all.
In fact, when the Song and Jin both withdrew from Shaanxi, the Western Xia also knew that it was impossible for them to compete for Dazhong.
Therefore, the goal of Western Xia now is not to occupy Shaanxi.
What Xixia is more worried about now is where the border between Zhongxia is, whether Dazhong will want the Xia army to retreat to the previous Song-Xia border, that is to say, let Xixia spit out all the food they ate before, and what's more, will Dazhong concentrate all his efforts to destroy Xixia, you know, if Dazhong really negotiates peace with Song and Jin, then the Chinese army will be able to be withdrawn, and at that time, it is not completely impossible for Dazhong to concentrate on destroying Xixia.
