Chapter 773: Overlord Treaty (Part I) (Ask for Subscription!) )

At the beginning of March of the second year of the Great Unification.

After nearly half a year of peace talks, China and Kinkins finally reached an agreement to negotiate peace and strike the war.

The terms of the agreement are as follows:

1. The Jin Restriction Army withdrew unconditionally from Yandi before April 1, including all the Yan land passes such as Gubei and Songting, and the Jin Limiter withdrew unconditionally from the south of Enzhou-Enchang before June 1, and the two sides took Enzhou-Weichang as the national boundary, in other words, the Jin State ceded all the land south of Dadingfu (i.e., Liaozhongjing) to Dazhong.

2. The indemnity of the Jin State, 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 20,000 catties of high-grade ginseng, 10,000 catties of deer antlers, 10,000 pieces of mink, 10,000 horses and 10,000 heads of horses, cattle and mules, and 1,000 camels Because the amount of compensation is too large, it is impossible for Jin Guo to take it out at once, and Jin Guo will temporarily pay 500,000 taels of gold and 5 million taels of silver before 1 July, and 2,000 jin of high-grade ginseng, 2,000 jin of deer antlers, 2,000 pieces of mink, 10,000 horses, 3,000 cattle and mules, and 500 camels, and the rest of the indemnity will be paid to Dazhong in ten years.

3. After that, the Jin Kingdom paid tribute to Dazhong every year, and came to Dazhong to congratulate every year, and the annual coin was seven million taels of silver per year.

Fourth, the Jin State is a vassal state of Dazhong, and the Emperor of the Jin State respectfully calls the Chinese emperor his uncle.

As soon as this peace condition came out, the world was in an uproar!

What do you say?

Just because this peace treaty is so unreasonable, it is simply a overlord treaty.

Take the first one, for example.

If it is really implemented in accordance with this peace treaty, then the Dajin Kingdom is not much bigger than the Southern Song Dynasty, and it can be said that the Jurchens have worked hard for more than ten years, and hundreds of thousands of dead and injured have all been in vain.

Let's talk about the second one.

This article is completely a copy of the original Jin people blackmailing the Northern Song Dynasty.

At the beginning, Zhao Huan gave all the treasures accumulated by Zhao and Song for more than two hundred years to the Jin people, but it was not enough, and in the end, he mortgaged all the daughters of the Zhao and Song royal families and clans to the Jin people, so he barely managed to make up so many compensations.

There are also seven million taels of silver in the annual tribute year, the Jin country is called the domain, and the Wanyan Wu begs to buy the uncle.

All of this is blackmail without discussion or sincerity.

Many people shook their heads and said, "This is not the work of Renjun." ”

The point is that such a treaty is absolutely unbearable for the Dajin State for a long time, and the reason why the Dajin State agreed to such a treaty is a delaying tactic, and when the Dajin State eliminates its internal hidden dangers, it is bound to revert and attack Dazhong.

How can such a treaty keep peace forever?

Of course, there are those who support this treaty.

Those who support it argue:

Cession of Enzhou - What happened to the land south of the paddock? These areas were not originally Jurchen, the earliest was our Han people, more than ten years ago it was from the Liao State, and it was the Jurchens who snatched it from the Liao State by virtue of their own strong force, and now Dazhong's military force is stronger than that of the Jin State, and these areas should be owned by Dazhong, and there is nothing inappropriate to want here.

As for the war reparations, the annual coins, the vassals, and the emperors of the two countries in terms of uncles and nephews, they were all mentioned to the Northern Song Dynasty by the Jin people, and if you are allowed to be the first day of junior high school, I will be allowed to do fifteen, what's the matter, just allow you Jin people to force Zhao Song to bankrupt his family and use his wife and daughter to pay off the debts, so I am not allowed to repay the other in the same way?

Dissatisfied, reversible?

Then fight well, I am a big and medium-sized country, with strong soldiers and advanced weapons, can I still be afraid of your small vassal country?

In the face of many discussions, Li Yan did not waver and ordered to go down and immediately implement the peace treaty.

Why did Li Yan insist on this overlord treaty?

There's a reason for that, of course.

Just as those who are in favor of this treaty think, Li Yan also thinks that if you are a Jurchen as the first year of junior high school, you will be allowed to be the fifteenth of Li.

Of course, as the head of a country and the supreme decision-maker of a force, Li Yan cannot be so superficial, nor can he be so rash.

The main reason why Li Yan insisted on this treaty was because:

First of all, Dazhong killed hundreds of thousands of Jurchens before and after, and also castrated tens of thousands of Jurchens to send them to endless mining, and plundered a large number of Jurchen women, and has formed an undying enmity with the Jurchens who will be avenged, this kind of monstrous hatred, unless one party is extinct, it is absolutely impossible to end, Li Yan knows this better than anyone else, so even if Dazhong does not negotiate peace with Jin Guo now, after Jin Guo recovers, he will definitely find Dazhong to take revenge.

Since this is the case, then Dazhong simply took advantage of the danger of the Jurchens to extort more from the Jurchens, because in this way, he could eliminate the advantages of the other and delay the time for the Jurchens to seek revenge on themselves.

In fact, none of these are the real reasons why Li Yan signed this overlord treaty with Jin.

To tell the truth, don't look at 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 20,000 catties of high-grade ginseng, 10,000 catties of deer antlers, 10,000 mink skins, 10,000 horses, cows and mules, 1,000 camels, and 7 million taels of silver a year, but Li Yan doesn't look down on these treasures at all.

After Yanjing was conquered by Yue Fei this time, Li Yan got not only Yanjing and some Jurchen women, but also a lot of wealth.

The Jin people wanted to return to the north, and what they wanted to take away was, of course, not only their families, but also a large number of treasures and property they plundered from the Northern Song Dynasty, including their Liao State.

And before those Jin people went to war, they put all their families and belongings in Yanjing.

As a result, these were all served by Yue Fei and Wang De.

Later, when the prisoners were sacrificed, Wang De presented these treasures to Li Yan.

It can be said that when the Jin people went south, not only did they not get an inch of gold, but they also had to take a lot.

Of course, Li Yan didn't look down on these war reparations and New Year's coins, more because Li Yan controlled international trade at sea.

At the end of last year, Jiang Jing reported an account with Li Yan.

Of these accounts, two are the most dazzling.

First, in the whole year of last year, Dazhong's customs revenue was as high as more than 120 million yuan.

Second, the large and medium-sized officials and maritime businessmen, that is, the officials and businessmen headed by Hu Cheng, earned more than 280 million yuan last year.

For these two items alone, Dazhong earned 400 million yuan last year!

Li Yan, who hugged the cornucopia of maritime international trade tightly, could still see the war reparations and New Year's coins that the Jin people promised, not to mention, how much war indemnities and New Year's coins the Jin people could give in the end, it may not be known, perhaps, after giving the first war indemnity and New Year's coins, the two countries went to war again, and all the rest became a bunch of numbers that could never be cashed.

So, what Li Yan really wants is not money at all.

What is that?

The answer is...... Territory.

To be precise, this part of the territory south of the enclosure to the north of Yanyun.

In the eyes of many people in this era, the territory outside the Great Wall is useless for the Han people, and the Han people can live their own happy life as long as they get Yanyun and lock the Hu people outside the Great Wall.

And Li Yan, who has a vision beyond this era, clearly knows that it is very wrong to think so.
