Eight years of the year is also a lot of money, especially now that the Great Song Dynasty is building river embankments to prevent floods and droughts, these money is also a small supplement to the Great Song Dynasty, can save a sum of money! Moreover, it can be regarded as preserving the face of the Great Song Dynasty and alleviating the humiliation of being forced to pay reparations. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's temporary...... But in eight years, is it such a long time, and the Great Song Dynasty still does nothing? Maybe it used to be like this, and there was no progress for decades in a row. But now that he has appeared, has he achieved nothing in eight years? At least Lin Zhao himself was not convinced.

The Western Army, especially its own target, is the Western Army, and the Northwest Land will become its own backyard. Under such circumstances, something must be done within eight years, and the threat of Western Xia must be minimized. This is Lin Zhao's own goal, and it is also his responsibility, which must be accomplished......

In Lin Zhao's concept, no land and no compensation is the dignity of a country. The humiliation of the late Qing Dynasty made hundreds of millions of people in later generations indignant, and the current Great Song Dynasty is also in this situation to some extent.

Although the sixteen states of Yanyun were not lost by the Song Dynasty, a hundred years have passed, but they have never been recaptured, so that all the land of Hebei is exposed to the iron hooves of the Khitan. Western Xia was just a frontier prince of the Song Dynasty, but now it has become a country of its own, what is the difference between it and cutting land? The annual coins given to the Liao State and Western Xia every year are no different from the indemnity.

Humiliation, what a humiliation!

However, the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty did not take it seriously, and would rather spend money to buy peace than go on an expedition to become rich and powerful, and promote the prestige of our country. It is this mentality that makes the disaster of the country approaching step by step, and the rivers of the great country are declining day by day. Now that Lin Zhao is here, he naturally does not allow such a situation to occur.

Change, must change!

Making the years a thing of the past is the first step. It will take him several years to complete, and then he will point to the throne and dominate the country. Only then will the dynasty be able to decide on its own!

Iron hooves step on Yanyun, draw a bow and shoot the wolf!

This is the courage and ambition that the Great Song Emperor should have. Lin Zhao has already set his ambition and will do everything he can to accomplish it. One day, the Great Song Dynasty can also seal the wolf Juxu and drink the horse Beihai!

Tuoba Stone is a little uncomfortable, if the eight-year gift is lost, the financial income of Western Xia will be a large piece less. It's hard to say whether it can be sustained. This is also a major event related to national security, Tuoba Shi absolutely did not dare to agree, and immediately retorted: "No, if there is no age, there is no relationship between the monarch and the minister......"

Maybe I don't know why, looking at Lin Zhao's eyes. Tuoba Shi actually felt a strong pressure, and even felt a little fear in his heart, so that he didn't dare to look at Lin Zhao. I can only oppose it in a hesitant way, and I have no confidence in what I say.

"Really? If there is no meeting gift and the corresponding subsidy, it will not be easy for Liang Guoxiang to return to Western Xia! Lin Zhao smiled, looked at Tuoba Stone quietly, and then stopped talking. Liang Yi is the biggest hole card in Lin Zhao's hand. Sure enough, all of a sudden, Tuoba Stone was choked.

"Back then, Emperor Renzong had an agreement with my ancestor that if Xixia surrendered, the annual gift was indispensable, could it be that you should regret it? Have you denied the promise of your ancestors? Tuoba Shi has an understanding of the Central Plains culture, and knows that the Central Plains are very in awe of their ancestors, so they cover a big hat that does not violate the ancestral teachings. After finishing speaking, he was still a little proud, and it would be up to Lin Zhao to see how he responded.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "The ancestral training is naturally inviolable, and the eight-year gift is still to be given, but Liang Guoxiang used it as a meeting gift and spent it in the Song Dynasty." I also have to return to the Great Song. Wouldn't it be nice to just offset each other directly and reduce some shipping troubles? What's more, which is more cost-effective compared to the eight-year gift of one Suizhou? General Tuoba, what do you say? ”

"You ......" Tuoba Stone was very annoyed. But in the end, he held back, and more was speechless.

Lin Zhao saw it in his eyes, and he already knew it, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A day and when it comes to this level, it is natural that it will not be able to go on. The two parted unhappily again. This is the outcome that has long been predicted, since it is a negotiation, it is destined to be a sky-high asking price, and it is normal to repay the money on the ground.

The difference is that Lin Zhao has Liang Yi buried in his hands, coupled with his strong aura and negotiation skills, he has completely mastered the initiative. Tuoba Stone is not strong enough, and there is no room for bargaining at all.

General Tuoba is also a heroic person in Western Xia, and he is almost annoyed and angry at Lin Zhao's aggressive approach, but the Empress Dowager Liang has an explanation, and she must stabilize the negotiations, the focus is to exchange for Liang Yiburi, and he naturally does not dare to have the slightest disobedience on the issue of principle. Therefore, he didn't dare to completely tear his face with Lin Zhao no matter what, and after brushing his sleeves away, he would return to the negotiation table in two or three days.

Lin Zhao was able to grasp this, so he behaved with ease, and kept maneuvering with Tuoba Stone. Tuoba Shi, who had calmed down, naturally had to bargain, claiming that in order to thank the Song Dynasty for taking care of their minister, he could give a three-year age compensation.

Not giving in an inch is naturally not the way, Lin Zhao also gave a certain amount of grace, and after several bargains, he agreed to make concessions and reduce it to five years. Tuoba Shi did not object on the spot, but asked for a reply later on the grounds that he needed to consult the Xingqing Mansion.

As a result, the two sides have spent more than half a month at the negotiation table, and the weather in the northwest has become hotter and hotter, which has also made people more and more impetuous.

A few days later, Western Xia bargained again and demanded that the gift be reduced to four years. Lin Zhao directly refused, and he would never compromise for five years, which became the bottom line to stick to, and finally Tuoba Shi had no choice but to agree.

A Liang Yi buried the Great Song Dynasty to save five years, but it was a lot of money. Of course, the peace talks are not so simple, and there are still many items that need to be implemented. The Western Xia promised to withdraw their troops and become vassals and not invade again, but in return, the Song Dynasty should also open up convenient fields and the two countries continue to trade and trade.

After a series of items were negotiated, the two sides agreed to hand over Liang Yi to be buried in the poplar forest three days later. He also claimed that Tuoba Shi was not qualified enough, and asked Liang Yizhu to sign a contract with the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of Western Xia.

"The matter of peace talks has finally come to an end!" Several accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites were in a very happy mood, and the order given to them by the imperial court was only a truce, and there was no requirement in terms of interests. In other words, it is okay to put Liang Yi buried it for nothing, but Lin Shilang is very powerful, and he actually fought for an extra five years. did not lose face, but also gained great benefits.

According to the agreement with Li Yuanhao that year, the Song Dynasty would give 255,000 pieces of silver silk to Western Xia every year, which was already one million in five years. They were officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they were all aware of these things, so they had great admiration for Lin Shilang. It's no wonder that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the official family at such a young age, he really has the ability, and they have seen the verbal war in the past few days.

In particular, now that the peace talks have been successful, as long as the covenant is signed, returning to Bianjing will be a great achievement. This time I followed Lin Shilang, which was really a great credit for picking it up. When he came, Zhang Zongyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, once had a advice, which seemed to be good at all.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were happy, but Lin Zhao couldn't be happy, was the war really going to end? Lin Zhao shook his head lightly.

Seed Master Dao keenly noticed Lin Zhao's strange appearance, and asked with a smile, "Dongyang, what's wrong?" ”

"Uncle Yi, do you think the Tangut people willingly agreed?" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice.

"Naturally I don't want to, but Empress Dowager Liang is helpless in order to get her younger brother back." The Seed Master Dao also has his own opinion.

"yes!" Lin Zhao sighed lightly and said, "In the past, when Western Xia was weak, he accepted the reward of our dynasty, and when he was strong, he wanted to plunder. However, this time their raid was not successful, and in the first two years they were hostile to our dynasty, and there was no year, and the field was closed, and the economy of Western Xia was not good. Now, even if the field is open, the income is limited after all, and without the five-year gift, it can be said that the situation is even worse. How should Empress Dowager Liang explain to his party ministers? ”

"Brother Dongyang means ......" Seed Master Dao vaguely heard some eyebrows, and his expression couldn't help but be much more solemn.

Lin Zhao smiled: "Do you say that he signed the contract obediently, or is it better to take risks?" Don't forget, he asked to see Liang Yi buried first, and then sign the covenant, and the poplar forest in three days later is afraid that it won't go so well! ”

"This ......" Who would have thought that the situation would take such a sharp turn, and the seed master Dao was also very helpless, and a helpless smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zhao patted the shoulder of the Seed Master, and said earnestly: "The matter needs to be further confirmed, it seems that I have asked Uncle Ling to prepare." Not only that, but you also need to be prepared, and you should not miss the opportunity. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Seed Master, and he was born in a military family and knew very well what opportunity meant. If you can make military achievements in this battle, it will be of great benefit to your future and the development of the breeder. The way of the seed master is a person with great ambitions, so naturally he will not miss it easily.

Lin Zhao smiled lightly, this can be regarded as a return for the planter, and of course, it can be regarded as a bargaining chip for further investment. Everything is just the beginning, not to mention the attitude of the breeder for the time being, Lin Zhao really wants to witness the growth process of a generation of famous generals!

Here is to appease the good planter, and the next thing is Liu Changzuo. Lin Zhao is looking forward to this opportunity, it doesn't matter what he gets, the important thing is to try his best to let others get benefits, and he naturally understands what he wants to take first! The last time he went to Suizhou City without saying goodbye, it hurt Liu Changzuo's face a little, and Lin Zhao decided to give him a bigger compensation......

The land of the northwest, the people's desire, try to be in my hands!

Of course, there is a crucial premise, that is, the true attitude and movement of Western Xia. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, I believe that the Bright Moon Sect already has news. What Lin Zhao needs now is to be one step ahead of others and strategize.
