Chapter 341: Unequal Treaties
In the winter of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao led the army to break Loulan.
The population of Loulan is very small, with less than 2,000 households and a total population of less than 15,000.
Ma Chao took Liuzhongcheng as the royal court and proclaimed himself the king of the Western Regions, and after the war, there were 2,000 Loulan warriors left, half of whom were incorporated into the Western Regions Palace.
In May of the 14th year of Jian'an, Ma surpassed the development and growth, with Liuzhong City as the center, and all the countries in the northern part of the Western Regions were sincerely subdued, with 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Ma Chao also led the general of the Western Regions Palace, led the Chinese army of 10,000, and divided Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai, and Pang De as generals, each leading 5,000 troops, in June of the 14th year of Jian'an, killed to the country of Qiuci, Wulei, invincible, and the middle of the Western Regions.
Originally, Ma Chao was worried that if he sat big, it would cause Xiahou Yuan's troops in Liangzhou to go out of Yumen Pass, and he didn't want Yang Xi to break the news of Kebineng all over the world, so Cao Cao urgently ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead the army back to Yecheng and deploy a border defense.
So Ma Chao continued to conquer, went south to take Jingjue, Xiaowan and other countries, and killed until the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and ordered Pang De to be the former general, leading Ma Dai and Ma Tie a total of 15,000 men and horses, and attacked west to the Green Ridge.
Ma Chao has never seen Yang Xi, only his name, but this time he really has to thank Yang Xi.
If it weren't for Yang Xi to break Kebineng in time and make a big move, where would he have a chance to rise again.
In June, Budugen heard that Kebi could be destroyed, and fearing that Yang Xi would attack, had to move south to the inner area of Yunzhong County to seek refuge from Cao Cao.
Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead 50,000 troops, and Budugen was the horns of each other, and Xiahou Yuan was ordered to lead 50,000 troops out of Yuyang County.
Since then, Cao Cao, the northern border fortress, has actually marched from west to east, with 50,000 soldiers in Yunzhong County, Yuyang County, and Liaoxi County, and 200,000 troops in addition to the roots of the army.
Except for the 100,000 troops in Jingzhou, these are almost Cao Cao's old bottoms.
But Cao Cao still didn't dare to attack.
Because of the rumors again, Yang Xi actually took a powder gun from the Amir Empire, which was a miniature version of the Sky Cannon.
According to the spies' description, this kind of gunpowder gun infantry regiment was of no use in front of them, and even the 50,000 cavalry of Kebineng did not make waves in front of the 20,000 musketeers.
Cao Cao was more urgent about the research and development of gunpowder, and he forced Jia Xu even tighter.
Besides, the Great Xianbei City, destroying Kebineng, and driving away Budugen, basically determined the hegemony of Dingsaiwai.
So Yang Xi ordered Gan Ning to lead 30,000 horses and horses in his headquarters, and allocate another 6,000 musketeers, and the strength of the two battalions under his control, so that he could continue to break through the Xianbei and Donghu tribes in the Monan grassland, and move his population to Daxianbei County.
Yang Xi didn't want to waste manpower and material resources in the vast area of southern desert, and now the population is not enough, and if the grassland of western Liaoning, which is 200 kilometers north and south, can be developed well, at least a large county with a population of 3 million.
After this battle, more than 100,000 prisoners, plus other Donghu tribes who came to defect one after another, the population of Daxianbei County exceeded one million, which is the food.
The great victory of Daxianbei City undoubtedly brought a dose of stimulant to the war of Buyeo State.
The people of Buyeo know that as long as Daxianbei City does not fall, Buyeo is safe.
Even if Gongsun Kang defeated the military horses of the Buyeo State, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce would inevitably intervene.
Gongsun Kang also saw this, Cao Cao's military horses were also transferred between them, and they were not out of the jam, Gongsun Kang naturally knew that Cao Cao did not want to start a war with Yang Xi.
There was no way, Gongsun Kang had to put away his ambitions and negotiate with Daxianbei City again.
Daxianbei City didn't give a chance, and there was no response, which made Gongsun Kang anxious, thinking that Yang Xi was going to attack Liaodong next.
In fact, Yang Xi did not give an answer, one is to consume the strength of both sides, and the other is to obtain more benefits during negotiations.
Sure enough, the king of Buyeo sent an envoy to talk to Yang Xi, and the person who came was Ma Jia.
Seeing Yang Xi again, the old man first felt a little bit of emotion.
With the support of Yang Xi, the eldest prince Wei Gechi is really thriving, and now it is in full swing.
After the pleasantries, Maga mentioned the purpose of coming.
It is nothing more than that the treasury of the Fuyu State is now empty, and it is unable to fight again, so it asks Daxianbei City to give support or simply wave troops to repel Gongsun Kang of Liaodong.
Yang Xi said: "Since my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, it is natural to put interests first, and your country has asked me to support the use of grain and grass, which is not impossible, but every pound of grain is the crystallization of the blood and sweat of my Chenhe people, and there is nothing falling from the sky. As for sending troops to attack the Liaodong military horses, my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has been doing it, but unfortunately, my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has only 10,000 garrisons, which can only be regarded as a modest effort. ”
Maga knew that without a little effort, it was estimated that things would be difficult to do, so he considered taking out a loan.
The loan had interest, and the interest was not low, but in the end Maga decided to solve the urgent need first.
As for the increase in the number of troops stationed, Buyeo could not agree to it, but this article could only be abandoned.
In June, the bank of Buyeo Branch received a loan from the boss.
Fuyu Guo borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, with an interest of two cents, so the monthly interest would be 2,000 taels.
After dealing with Fuyu State, Yang Xi made a big move to Liaodong, and asked Shugong Sun Kang about the previous blockade of Liaoshui and Liaohe Port.
Gongsun Kang had no choice but to give in to Yang Xi, and Yang Xi put forward his own conditions.
Yang Xi's proposed terms were very simple, first, Liaodong withdrew its troops from Buyeo. Second, lift the blockade of Liaohe Port of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. Third, the tariff of 10 taxes will be changed to 30 taxes and 1. Fourth, the Liaoshuikou and Liaohe Port were ceded to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce as compensation for the losses of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce in the Liaoshui War.
Yang Xi's terms were too harsh, and Gongsun Kang wanted to refuse, but a group of strategists believed that Liaodong had not yet stabilized, and it would be a shame to raise troops to the north after a year or two of stabilization.
So Gongsun Kang temporarily agreed to Yang Xi's terms.
Gongsun Kang sent his younger brother Gongsun Gong to Liaohe Port and signed four post-war articles with Dong Maru, the representative of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, known as the "Liaohe Agreement" in history.
The specific details of the four articles were drawn up in detail by Dong Maru and Xu Shu, and Sun Gong officially signed the agreement in early July.
The agreement was signed, and Yang Xi gathered his soldiers and horses on the border of Buyeo and withdrew to Daxianbei City.
Gongsun Kang and the soldiers and horses of Buyeo also retreated.
Liaohe Port has been operating for more than 10 years, this is the only base of Chenhe Chamber of Commerce in Liaodong, left and right for Liaoxi, Liaodong two counties, the foundation is extremely heavy, now stationed in Hong Kong Navy up to 20,000 people, 80% of the strength of the Bohai Fleet are stationed here.
All the merchants of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce in the waters of Liaoshui are gathered and distributed here, which shows the importance of the geographical location of Liaohe Port.
Now Liaohe Port has a population of more than 30,000 people, mainly commercial distribution, Yang Xi wants 20 square kilometers of land, which is used to build the city.
The name of the city, Yang Xi had already drafted, and it was called Liaohe City.
The location of Liaohe City was known only to Yang Xi, and it was called Yingkou in later generations.
Just in case, when Yang Xi planned Liaohe City, he directly transferred 10,000 troops and horses from the Chenhe Islands and settled in Liaohe City.
Jiang Qin, the former major general of the Chenhe Islands, was transferred to Liaohe City to command these 10,000 soldiers and horses as the independent regiment of Liaohe City.
Gongsun Kang withdrew the officials from this place, leaving behind more than 10,000 people, all of whom were unwilling to move away with him.
