Chapter 32 Conclusion of negotiations
"If you have forty times and one stone, you must retreat, and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty must retreat!" Don't continue to speak.
The pressure of Xingqing Mansion, and the pressure from here.
Even, if the Great Song Dynasty had a way to form an alliance with the Liao State, the Western Xia would be destroyed, but it would only be 40 million guan.
Anyway, in the past 20 years, the New Year's coins given to them by the Great Song Dynasty alone have exceeded 40 million yuan!
"Mo Rozhi, what about you?!" Xin Xi did not respond to Zhang Bei's request, but turned his head to look at Mo Luozhi again and asked.
“……!” Mo Luozhi's face was full of embarrassment, he really couldn't afford the redemption price of forty guan one stone, if he really wanted to buy back the one million stone grain and grass, then he would have to pay 40 million guan, 40 million guan......
However, if he didn't buy it, now that the Western Xia had promised to buy it back, then at that time, even if the Song people didn't intervene, Tubo would not be able to defeat the Western Xia......
"Buy!" Mo Luozhi gritted his teeth and spit out these words, and then he waited for Zhang Bei with an unhappy face.
"Isn't it 40 million guan, Lao Tzu bought it!" Mo Luozhi opened his mouth viciously, it seemed that speaking so viciously would make the resentment in his heart vent a lot.
Have you got 80 million?!
Xin Xi smiled slightly, but the national debt is a full 130 million!
With such a huge number, these 80 million guan are not so good-looking.
We have to find a way to get another 50 million yuan, so that at least we can get the issued treasury bonds, and then, if we attack Dali next, we can continue to issue treasury bonds!
"This is just for the redemption of food, if you want Xin to withdraw from the army, you need two people to compensate for the military expenses!" Xin Xi looked at the two of them with a smile and spoke slowly.
"Compensation for military expenses?!" Zhang Bei's face became slightly embarrassed: "What do you mean?!" ”
When Mo Luo Zhi heard this, he also looked towards Xin Zhen, he always had a bad feeling.
"It's not interesting!" Xin Zhen shook his head, and said lightly: "My 700,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty gathered, and people eat horses and chew horses, and they always consume a lot of money and grain. ”
"You!" Don't have a face full of anger, this Nima, this Nima!
This Nima is clearly a robbery, okay?!
Also compensate for military expenses, specially, it wasn't Lao Tzu who asked you to mobilize an army to come over, why do you want me to compensate for the losses of the army?!
However, now that the Song army is strong, only those with big fists are qualified to be reasonable, and Zhang Bei understands this very well.
Therefore, he felt that as long as this so-called compensation for military expenses was not so bastard and harsh, there would be no problem in agreeing!
And Mo Luozhi was stunned in place, he finally knew why no matter how powerful Tubo was, although it could guarantee that the Central Plains people couldn't beat it, but they couldn't fight after all.
Paralyzed, this group of Central Plains people is too cunning, they can actually come up with a way to compensate for military expenses, in comparison, those strategists in their Tubo country are simply the same little tricks as playing home, and they are completely unsightly!
"How much is the compensation?! Military. Zhang Bei asked with anger.
Mo Luozhi was embarrassed again, he felt that this Tangut man was simply stupid as a dog, he was the one who promised to redeem the grain before, and now he was the one who promised to compensate for the military expenses.
Xin Zhen still smiled slightly: "The military expenditure is 60 million, since it is caused by the two of you together, you each pay 30 million?!" ”
30 million ?!!!!
Mo Rozhi's mouth opened wide, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Bei's face was gloomy, but he didn't refute it directly, if it was 70 million yuan, the Western Xia Emperor would definitely not be able to come up with so much money at once, but their Zhang family can!
If, with a little added fuel and vinegar, he described the things that could be solved by these 70 million guan to His Majesty the Emperor, and then the Zhang family paid for it, then the Zhang family's position in Western Xia would become more stable!
That's right, the usual thinking of the Han people is like this, the family is the country, the country is in the front, the country is behind, as a Han in the territory of Western Xia, Zhang Bei thinks so, as long as he stabilizes the interests of his Zhang family first, how can the entire Western Xia be pitted? !
Anyway, his brother Zhang Wenxiang is already doing what the prime minister should do, and he takes this opportunity to increase the emperor's demand for them, so that Zhang Wenxiang should be crowned the king with a different surname, and it is the position of the prime minister, at that time, the entire Western Xia, to a certain extent, should be decided by their Zhang family!
Thinking of this, Zhang Bei said indifferently: "Thirty million guan is not unacceptable, but, not only this Xining Prefecture, your Great Song Dynasty has to withdraw the army, but also the Xingqing Mansion must also retreat!" ”
Xin Xi glanced at Zhang Bei with a strange face, he felt a little unbelievable that Zhang Bei was so good at talking, God was pitiful, he was worried that these two guys were very likely not to agree to military compensation, so he said that the gap of 50 million guan was 60 million guan, and there was room for 10 million guan to bargain!
If I knew that this guy was so happy, maybe he should have directly asked for 80 million yuan, and he would have prepared all the military expenses for the attack on Dali.
"The Xixia dog surnamed Zhang, Lao Tzu disagrees! What the hell, compensation for military expenses, Lao Tzu begged you to beat me?! Also pay compensation for military expenses! Mo Luozhi shouted and stood up, but looked at Xin Yi who was standing behind Xin Zhen, he didn't dare to make a move towards Xin Zhen, but waited for Zhang Bei with angry eyes.
Zhang Bei shook his head calmly: "I agree to compensate for military expenses." ”
Xin Zhen smiled, his eyes rolled, and said, "As long as I compensate for the military expenses of the Great Song, then my Great Song will form an alliance with it!" ”
"You!" Mo Luozhi's face was full of pain, it would be impossible not to give money now, if he really gave money to Xixia in return, then it would directly become the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia attacking Tibet!
Nodding with a wry smile, Mo Luozhi said: "Okay, but 70 million guan is too huge, and it can't be taken out in a short time......"
"If you don't have money, the food won't be exchanged for you, the 400,000 army, as well as the Blue Sky Valley, Gahai, and the Daoliu River. Even the army arranged outside Xingqing Mansion will not retreat, and besides, the military expenditure is 60 million guan today, and in a few days, it may be 80 million guan! ”
"Damn hee-hee-hee!" Mo Luozhi opened his mouth to say a native dialect.
Xin Zhen's face was full of pain: "That's the case, I can apply for five days of interest-free time for you, and bring the military expenses within five days, then, the military expenses of 60 million guan will not change at all!" ”
"But, you should give us some food first!" Zhang Bei opened his mouth blatantly, he didn't know that on the Tibetan side, there was really no food in the army on the Western Xia side, and if he couldn't get food again, he was afraid that he would mutini immediately if he waved the army!
"Also?! What is redemption?! Redeem first and then pay it back, you got the money, Blue Sky Valley immediately retreated, all the grain and grass in the Blue Sky Valley granary are yours, but the money was not taken, so how can I return the grain and grass in Blue Sky Valley to you?! Xin Zhen said indifferently.
"But if you don't wait for me to wait for food, after five days, I'm afraid that everyone will starve to death, and at that time, naturally there will be no more food, and there is no need for you to withdraw from the army, at that time, Tubo and Western Xia will definitely join forces to attack the Song Kingdom!" Zhang Beihu was intimidated by a fake tiger.
Xin Xi smiled indifferently: "After Tubo enters the winter, I'm afraid it won't be able to start a war, and besides, on the bank of the river, there are still 30,000 corpses of Tubo, and there are also 70,000 corpses of Tubo people on the other side of Gahai, right?!" Are you sure that Tubo still has the strength to join forces with you in Western Xia?! ”
Zhang was speechless.
Mo Luozhi's face was even more stiff, this information was released by Xin Xi, so it would be difficult for Tubo to be as tough as before when facing Western Xia......
Xin Zhen shook his head and chuckled: "Of course, as His Excellency the Zhenxi Jiedu Envoy said, therefore, Xin will not starve you to death!" ”
"You're going to give us food first?!" Zhang Bei raised his head incredulously, looked at Xin Xi and asked.
Xin Zhen shook his head: "No, the granaries of Blue Sky Valley and Gahai, if you don't get the money, not a single chestnut rice will move." ”
"That ......"
"My Da Song Commercial Bank has already shipped some grain over and sold it to you at a low price, once fifteen yuan is paid, do you want it?!" Xin Zhen smiled slightly.
Do you want?!
This ten times the price, no one will definitely want it, but at this moment, don't do it!
This is special, it's a person who gets into the money eye!
Zhang Bei gritted his teeth, and began to calculate in his heart, on average, two catties of chestnut rice per person a day, 30,000 people a day is 60,000 catties of chestnut rice, 60,000 catties is 1,000 stone of grain, 5,000 stones in five days, and 15 pounds of one stone, which is 75,000 yuan!
That's it?!
After talking about tens of millions of dollars at every turn just now, Zhang Bei suddenly felt that the seventy or eighty thousand yuan seemed to be not money at all, nodded and said, "Yes, I will let people transport money over and buy food with you!" ”
"So, what about you?!" Xin Xi smiled and looked at Mo Luozhi.
Morex swears he really wants to kill this slut once and for all!
"Buy!" He also calculated, 80,000 people, about 120,000 yuan in five days, it is the same as Zhang Bei, after being bombarded with tens of millions of yuan, he didn't think that this 100,000 yuan was money.
"So, happy cooperation!" Xin Zhen chuckled and got up.
"Walk slowly, don't send it!" Zhang Bei and Mo Luozhi both snorted angrily.
However, at this time, Xin Zhen suddenly turned around: "That ......"
The two of them were slightly nervous, could it be that this kid still wants to continue to extort money?!
Looking at the nervous appearance of the two, Xin Xi smiled: "Don't be nervous, what I want to say is that the New Year's coin treaty between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia will be nullified!" This year's December New Year's coins will not be sent again! ”
“……! Be so! Don't gnash your teeth.
After the negotiation was adjourned, Xin Xi rode proudly and walked back towards the camp, and then ordered the 400,000 troops to camp on the spot, but at the same time, they contacted the people who rushed over from Yizhou and asked them to send 16,000 stone of grain immediately.
Li Luo was slightly stunned: "Eleven Lang, I waited for 4.6 million stones to be transported over, and then I sold 16,000 stones?!" ”
Then your mother, didn't the rest of the grain come for nothing? During this period, the consumption of manpower and material resources, even if the 16,000 stone grain was sold for 200,000 yuan, after deducting the manpower and material resources consumed to transport the grain, it can be said that there is no profit at all!
Xin Xi shook his head slightly: "Wait, those grains will always be sold!" ”
Saying that, Xin Xi didn't plan to explain in detail, so he went directly back to the commander's tent of the Chinese army, and issued one order after another, all of which were appointments for the transfer of the Shadow Guard.
Even though the number of the Shadow Guards is small, they can make good use of the Shadow Guards, and the power possessed by these 3,000 people is really no less than that of a million heroes!
The 16,000 stone grain was successfully delivered, and then, Renduoquan City was completely quiet, whether it was the Western Xia army preparing to attack the city outside Renduoquan City, or the Tubo people stationed in Renduoquan City, they had no intention of fighting, they just waited, waited for the redemption of the grain, waited for Xin Xi to retreat, and then the two sides joined forces to attack the Great Song Dynasty!
In any case, the 140 million guan that was eaten by Xin Xi must be spit back, otherwise, whether it is Tubo or Western Xia, in the next three years, it will enter an unprecedented stage of weakness!
However, they could think of this, and Xin Xi couldn't have imagined it.
It is precisely because of this that the orders issued to the Shadow Guard Army are transmitted through an information channel that is difficult for people to perceive.
Three days later, in the middle of Tibet, the three tribes fell into a scuffle for no reason, and lost countless cattle, sheep and horses.
However, because of this, Tibet's national strength has been consumed again, and the amount of grain stored in Tibet has been reduced again, and this winter will be even more difficult.
It is precisely for this reason that the lord of the Tubo Kingdom initially gave up the mind of Nongdieer and Hugdabu, but instead sent someone to send 70 million yuan worth of gold, silver and copper to Xining Prefecture, and at the same time, there was an order to pass it on, after redeeming the grain, at least 600,000 stone of grain in the Gahai granary should be transported back to the Potala Palace!
It was also in this process that the Tibetans got the news that the Great Song Dynasty had surplus grain, and then sent a caravan again, carrying gold, silver, Tibetan specialties, and even, steel snatched from Khotan, towards Xining Prefecture.
It was also in this process that strange things also happened in the territory of Western Xia, for example, the granary of Woniu Mountain suddenly caught fire, 3 million stones of grain and grass, only 1.2 million stones were rescued, and then, the Hui people in the west attacked to the east, and the western border of Western Xia was plundered by the Hui people, and 300,000 displaced people went all the way to the east......
If there is food, it is easy to appease the homeless, but if there is no food, this group of homeless people will turn into a mob, like locusts, and eat wherever they go.
If this group of locusts has a leader, then the rule of the Western Xia party will become precarious!
In desperation, Li Liangzuo went to the Zhang family's mansion to meet Zhang Wenxiang, and then, the Zhang family caravan went to Xining Prefecture with a large amount of gold and silver.
