Chapter 1036 [Contract]
Huang Jie's intention to plot against Japan is not a matter of a day or two, but at this time, Toba does not know what the crime is, let alone where the "bi" is, although it seems a little unfair, but this is also something that cannot be helped.
It is not said how Huang Jie persuaded Toba to exchange the prospecting and mining rights of Huangzhou Construction in Japan in exchange for the full support of the Great Song Dynasty for his restoration. It's just that when he came out of Huang Jie's study, he not only made a five-body gift to Huang Jie with a heartfelt convincing, but also ordered someone to send a pair of Japanese warriors to Huang Jie after he went back.
The so-called Japanese Wu Ji, in fact, is a maid who has learned martial arts, looking at Toba's hospitality, Huang Jie naturally will not refuse, so he also accepts it. After asking Huang Yuniang to inquire, I also learned that this pair of Wu Ji was originally the daughter of the military general Hattori Shibei in the Toba Temple, the elder sister's name is Yuriko, and the younger sister's name is Chizuruko, both of whom are nineteen years old, and their appearance is also beautiful, and the most rare thing is that they are twins, but they are obviously a pair of fraternal twins, and the difference in appearance between the two is very obvious.
And their father is said to have been sentenced to a seppuku by Emperor Shirakawa after protecting Toba to escape from Japan, so now Huang Jie promised to help Toba go back and overthrow Shirakawa, which is also revenge for them to kill their father, so they are not unhappy about Toba giving them to Huang Jie.
As for Huang Jie, he didn't care much about the two sisters originally, but now he has so many wives in the family, and there are still Xuan and Zheyuemei waiting for a showdown around him, how can he care about a pair of maids. It was only after hearing that the surname of the two was Hattori, and that their father was Hanzo of the Hattori family of this generation, that they became interested and decided to stay by their side to see what was going on.
I still have to say more, the Japanese Hattori family's surname is Qin, which is one of the ancient wealthy families in Japan, and its ancestors are immigrants who crossed the sea from the Wu State in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. From the Warring States period to the early Edo period, the famous ninja king Hattori Hanzo of the samurai clan under the Tokugawa clan in later generations was actually called Hattori Masanari, and the name "Hanzo" was a name used by the Hattori family from generation to generation.
Therefore, the father of this Hattori sister, Hattori Shibei, must be the ancestor of Hattori Hanzo Masanari who did not run away.
didn't say how Huang Jie was going to study the matter of sisters, after talking to Toba, he didn't say anything all night, and the next morning he also ordered someone to set up a high platform again in the car outside the city, and prepared to initialize the prisoner of war convention.
Looking back at the prisoner of war convention, in addition to the Jin State is resolutely opposed to the signing, in fact, the Western Xia and Northern Liao also have an attitude of opposition to this treaty, after all, these two countries are semi-feudal and semi-slave countries, and they still think that prisoners of war should be slaves, how can they enjoy the rights of anyone, so for the prisoner of war convention proposed by Huang Jie, they just think that the belligerent countries mentioned in it can redeem their own prisoners of war This article agrees in principle, and for the rest of the prisoners of war to be treated humanely, not expelled, The terms within the slope civilian participation in the war are scornful.
By the way, the reason why they agreed in principle to the article on the redemption of prisoners of war was not that they felt that the redemption of prisoners of war from their own country should be done, but that this clause was quite beneficial to their sale of captured prisoners of war from other countries, you must know that whether it was a war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State or the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, there was very little exchange of prisoners, and there was no precedent for the redemption of prisoners.
As for other small countries, they generally think that this prisoner of war convention is just a whimsical joke, not to mention whether it is possible for this convention to really form an effective constraint, and the article "our country is thousands of miles away from Song" has become a dead hole in this prisoner of war convention.
However, due to the fact that the Great Song Dynasty said early on that if you don't sign a contract, you won't give face, and if you don't give face, you won't have to come to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute in the future, and if you don't sign a contract, "how can the Great Song Dynasty sell you advanced weapons", for the envoys of various countries, signing is not a troublesome matter, anyway, they already know the concept of initialing, that is, just going through the motions.
Of course, even at this time, except for the people around Huang Jie, no one knew that Huang Jie had already studied the battle flag pattern of the Great Song Dynasty peacekeeping troops in the future, and the battle flag pattern he finalized was not complicated, that is, the red Taiji flag pattern representing medical aid was replaced by a blue Taiji flag with a blue background and white map, and the foreign letter was abbreviated as AS (Alert-Warning SONG-Song, a warning from the Great Song Dynasty).
In short, in short, for the signing ceremony on this day, there is naturally no surprise, Mo Yo is around noon, counting the Great Song Dynasty himself, a total of 39 countries were present, that is, the Jin State also sent a messenger named Wanyan Chirida to watch the ceremony, and then only the Western Xia and Northern Liao were only willing to sign the sign-in book, and did not participate in the initialling of the prisoner of war convention, and the envoys of the other 36 countries also happily left their names on the seven parchment books made of sheepskin specially prepared by Huang Jie, and the stone was used as a tablet on the spot, The grand occasion of the signing of this alliance will be spread to the world.
He also specially invited the envoys of the 36 countries to sit on the high platform, and ordered the ten painters of the Xuanhe Painting Institute sent by the Song Dynasty to paint on the spot, and made a pair of "Liaoyang Nations Treaty Map" with a width of six feet and a length of ten zhang.
At this point, the "Convention on the Protection of Prisoners of War and Civilians" presided over and promoted by Huang Jie finally went down in history, and the time was fixed on the 10th day of the fourth month of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, which was known as the "Liaoyang Convention" or "Liaoyang Prisoners of War Convention".
The Convention, which was eventually written in Chinese, Khitan, Arabic, English, and Chenla (Malay), reads as follows: This Convention is intended to bind the belligerents (including third parties) from inflicting any harm or atrocity on the lives and persons of wounded, sick, captured belligerents and civilians contrary to the principles of humanity and morality, and in particular prohibiting murder, torture, sacrifice or wilful failure to provide medical assistance and care; Medical units and their buildings, equipment, and personnel shall be inviolable, but shall be distinguished by a clear red Tai Chi flag on a white background or a flag and emblem as otherwise agreed.
The prisoner of war is under the authority of the enemy's State, and not under the authority of the individual or military unit that captured him, and therefore the Detaining Power is responsible for the prisoner of war and is treated and protected humanely; The prisoner's personal belongings, with the exception of weapons, horses, military equipment and military documents, shall remain in the possession of the prisoner; Prisoners of war should be provided with accommodation, food, health care, etc.; Prisoners of war may be detained, but not compulsorily except for the application of criminal and disciplinary sanctions; Prisoners of war shall not be ordered to perform dangerous and humiliating labor; Prisoners of war shall be released, exchanged, ransomed, or repatriated without delay after the cessation of hostilities; Under no circumstances may a prisoner of war waive some or all of the rights conferred by the Convention; In cases where there is any doubt as to whether a person has the status of a prisoner of war, that person shall enjoy the protection of this Convention without a decision of the competent military tribunal.
The additional civilian provisions are as follows: enemy civilians under the control of a party to the conflict shall be protected and treated humanely, including by granting safe departure from the country and guaranteeing the fundamental rights of civilians who have not been repatriated; It is forbidden to destroy undefended towns and villages; prohibit the killing, coercion, ill-treatment and eviction of peaceful residents; prohibition of corporal punishment and torture; The person, family, honour, property, religious beliefs and customs of peaceful residents shall be respected; Collective punishment and hostage-taking, etc., are prohibited.
If, after the signing of this Convention, during the validity period of the Convention, any act of intentional harm to prisoners of war and civilians by members of a belligerent party in violation of the provisions of this Convention shall be regarded as blasphemy and provocation against this Convention, and the High Contracting Parties to this Convention (including third parties) shall be obliged to apprehend the violators and groups and divide the crime against humanity by capital punishment (including but not limited to the death penalty).
