Chapter 64: A Deal with Each His Heart

Wan Yan Shouchun's crying did not attract the sympathy of Guiyou and Uluchi, but ridiculed Wan Yan Shouchun's cowardly approach in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, the officials of the Song State present had another feeling, the stars have changed, the suffering that the Song State endured a hundred years ago now has its own Mongols to clean up the Jin State, and there is no misfortune and schadenfreude in their hearts.

"Next is the Icon of Temujin." Zhao Zheng's voice pulled everyone's thoughts back to the auction.

"The reserve price is four million guan, and the price is increased by one million guan each time!" As soon as Zhao Zheng's words fell, they attracted Guiyou's protests.

"The reserve price of that barbarian emperor A Guta is five million guan, why is the reserve price of our Mongolian grandfather's holy statue only four million guan!"

Zhao Zheng deliberately made the reserve price of Temujin lower than that of Agu, just to cause protests in Mongolia, and saw that Guiyou jumped out impatiently.

"The filial sons and grandsons of the Kingdom of Jin have all bid 19 million to welcome back the holy icon, if in the hearts of you Mongols, the Great Khan of Temujin is greater than the Great Khan of Aguta, then you can use the price to show it!"

Gui You laughed, Zhao Zheng calculated how he didn't know, but he had the confidence to shout the sky-high price: "The land of Jin Country is worth five million yuan, then my Mongolian territory is vast, and the land of this state is only afraid of no less than tens of thousands, you can choose!" And it was our son-in-law who shot it down, and the land in this state must be worth 10 million yuan! "Gui You is also smiling secretly in his heart, even if he gives all the land of the Jin Kingdom to you cowardly Song people now, it won't take five years of effort, I will let you Song people spit it out with interest.

When Zhao Zheng heard Guiyou's words, he didn't expect that Mongolia actually planned to use land to mortgage property, and he was slightly surprised, isn't this Mongolian extremely greedy for territory? How can you be so reluctant? But then I was relieved to think of Mongolia's head-numbing territory, Mongolia expands its land every year to no less than dozens of prefectures and counties, and it really doesn't take a single state into account.

"Yes, but it must border the Song Kingdom." Zhao Zheng agreed with Guiyou's words, which made Wanyan Shouchun's face even more ugly when he heard it, this Mongolia does not border the Song State, and wants to cede land to the Song State, and this meat is not from the Jin State.

After Guiyou and Uluchi received Zhao Zheng's affirmative answer, their confidence increased greatly, Mongolia lacked everything, except land, cattle and sheep.

"Twenty million!" Gui You directly shouted out this sentence, making Zhao Zheng abandon his prejudice against this grassland man, what a hero!

"Twenty-five million!" Not to be outdone, Uluchi was not to be outdone.

"Thirty million!"

……

Zhao Zheng saw that the price had risen all the way to 60 million yuan, afraid that this auction would become a battle of will, and finally make a joke, he wanted to make a lot of money on Mongolia, but he couldn't strip flesh and bloodlet on him, otherwise the interests of many people in Mongolia would be damaged, and Ogedai and Torre couldn't suppress the voices below, and the deal would also be in vain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to avoid a conflict of wills, I have a proposal that we make a final bid, and the two of you will write down your highest chips on a piece of paper, and then announce it to the public, and whoever has the highest price will receive back the icon of Temujin. I don't know what the two of you think? ”

Guiyou and Uluchi each discussed it with their entourage, and they also felt that there was no point in bidding without restrictions, but it was better to open chips at one time and come quickly, so they agreed to Zhao Zheng's proposal.

Zhao Zheng was ecstatic when he saw that the two agreed, this time the harvest was far beyond his imagination, I don't know if the Mongols will fight hard to kill me after the glass becomes a rotten street thing in the future.

After half a pillar of incense, the two wrote the chips on paper and handed them to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng opened the notes of the two of them separately.

Gui Yu wrote on it: "150 million guan, cede Qingyuan, Lintao 2nd Road, a total of two prefectures and eleven prefectures worth 140 million guan, 10,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, 100,000 sheep, worth 5.3 million guan, and the rest is paid with money and grain." ”

Zhao Zheng looked at Guiyou, and couldn't help but sigh that this guy is really dark, all the land is still under the actual control of the Jin State, and this blank check is very ruthless.

Zhao Zheng then opened Uluchi's note, which read: "160 million guan, ceding Shandong East Road, the two prefectures and eleven prefectures are worth 130 million guan, the delivery value at the end of the year is 20 million guan, 10,000 horses, 100,000 cattle and sheep, worth 7.8 million guan, and the rest is paid with money and grain." ”

After the two notes were announced, Guiyou was shocked that the price of Shandong East Road was actually opened by Uluchi, although most of the Shandong East Road was occupied by the rebels, but there were already two states that were actually in the hands of Mongolia, which was different from the empty check he wrote, this was a real territory. Isn't this Torre afraid of criticism from his subordinates?

No way! Guiyu knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to him, after his father ascended the throne, if there was an icon in his hand, and Uncle Jochi's broken icon was on the side of the apocalypse, his father not only had the righteousness in his hands, but also this morality in his hand, and the statue of Taizu could shake the position of a part of Torre's army, thereby dividing Torre's desperate military superiority, and his father could also use the apocalypse of the broken Jochi icon: "If the brothers do not agree, the country will be in danger", he used brotherly affection to persuade Torre to support him to inherit the throne.

What's more, my father has always preferred the third brother, this time I came to Song Guo to take charge of this matter, and I begged my mother for a long time before agreeing to intercede for him to Song Guo.

Therefore, this icon matter, one link after another, so that Guiyou has to walk on thin ice to deal with it. And at the moment, the only one who can let him tide over the difficulties is this Song National Teacher.

Because you proposed to meet Zhao Zheng alone, you have something to discuss. Uluchi immediately agreed, but asked to see Zhao Zheng alone afterwards.

Both sides seemed to have some secret conditions, and the matter had to be compromised with each other.

――

"National teacher, the icon is a small matter, but the friendship between the two countries is a big matter, this time to the Song State, I am not only here for the icon, but also for the alliance between the two countries. My father is now righteous, as long as the Song State can ensure that my father can subdue the Mongolian tribes and dominate Mongolia, not to mention the land of the two roads, it is okay to send Bianjing to each other. Now as long as you award the icon to us and summon the envoys to sign an alliance with my Mongolia, these two roads and one capital land are at your fingertips! ”

Gui You's high-sounding words, so that Zhao Zheng couldn't help frowning, at this time still want to do no business, Mongolia and the Song State have had a secret agreement before, conspiring to fight gold, but the two sides are only verbal covenants out of political needs, and now Wokotai and Torre are fighting, and it is urgent to pull political allies, if the Song State openly signs an alliance with Kuowotai, it will be a big plus in politics and diplomacy, and with the full help of the Song State, this Jin State will definitely die in two years.

Political things are not even counted as paper covenants, let alone verbal covenants, and the appetite of the Song State is not so big, and now eating those territories is a curse rather than a blessing to the Song State.

"General, although I am a Taoist priest, I still know the rules of doing business, and I pay money with one hand and deliver goods with the other. Although I admire the general as a hero, I am not good at awarding the icon to you in full view of everyone. Zhao Zheng also knew how to call Guiyou, the prince was the name of the Central Plains, and Mongolia did not have a system of sealing the king, so he simply called the general.

Gui You said murderously: "The national teacher only has to award the icon to me, if there is anyone who is not convinced, I will smooth it out for you." And Father Khan said that it doesn't matter where this icon is, the key is who it belongs to! ”

Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, the news revealed by Gui You's words made him feel that the intention of Wokotai in this auction did not seem to be so simple, it was more like a contract with the Song Kingdom, and the icon was more like a political symbol.

Zhao Zheng didn't say anything, perfunctory Guiyou let himself think about it, and then asked Gao Linmen to invite this Guiyou who killed Tengteng out and let Uluchi come in.

As soon as Uluchi came in, he got straight to the point, and said with a smile: "You came here because you told the national teacher about the contract?" ”

Zhao Zheng looked at his clothes with confidence, and he had a lobbyist tone. Secretly thinking that this cold-faced general still thinks he is a strategist?

After Zhao Zheng nodded, Uluchi's expression became more easy-going, and his smile became stronger, but he didn't know if this thing had killed too many people or had stiff muscles, and this smile was still a little creepy.

Torrey's troops were concentrated in Hedong, Henan, and Shandong opened the bargaining chip of the East Cave Road, and proudly said that the goods would be delivered at the end of the year, and the rebels in Shandong, except for a small number of surrenders to the Jin State and the Song State, in fact, most of them had been secretly attached to Mongolia, so it was not difficult for Torre to take Shandong within a year.

"You came for the contract, and so do I, as long as the Song Kingdom and my fourth brother form an alliance, this land of Shandong will definitely be offered with both hands!" Torre was the fourth son born to Temu's wife, so the other brothers, both big and small, called him the fourth brother.

Zhao Zheng suddenly had an idea when he heard this: "The Song State can also recognize Torrey as the Great Khan of Mongolia!" Zhao Zheng's attempt to openly split Mongolia failed to escape the Uluchi: "Most of the great Mongolian Empire was defeated by my fourth brother, and no one in the tribes was dissatisfied. The fourth brother is the true successor of my father Khan, and this Mongol Empire must be inherited by my fourth brother in its entirety! ”

"So the national teacher doesn't need to do anything now, he just needs to award the icon to me according to the rules, and it's not too late for you to get to Shandong and see our sincerity!"

Zhao Zheng saw that the other party was so good, and said vigilantly: "You must pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, horses, cattle and sheep, we will send a ship to accept and trade in Zhigu Village (today's Tianjin), so you don't have to bother with your hands." ”

Uluchi nodded, very happy about Zhao Zheng's vigilance, the Song people are really cowardly, and they are afraid to accept some good things, what about Shandong? Mongolia can snatch Shandong from the hands of the Jin State, and it will naturally be easier to get it back from the hands of the Song State.

"Of course, it is to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, but the national teacher must publicize this icon to the world, so that the people of the world can understand that this icon was bought back from you by my fourth brother!"

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he finally understood the meaning of the phrase that the holy statue of Wokotai didn't matter where it was.

Yes, it doesn't matter where the icon is, as long as you understand where it belongs, the icon has been hyped up to the present, and I am afraid that the fake will be taken as true, so it doesn't matter if it's true or not, the world thinks it's true or not, just like the Buddha statue, it's made of mud, but who can think that it's a fake that is not literate.

And this icon is in the hands of the Song people, in case this icon has three long and two short, and it is destroyed, Mongolia can also openly break the contract, and when the time comes, what will cede Shandong, Bianjing is bullshit.

But there are pros and cons to things, this icon is in the hands of the Song State, as long as the Mongols openly break the treaty, then the Song State can justifiably resell or destroy it, and the person who breaks the treaty will inevitably be criticized by the Mongol tribes.

Therefore, what Kowotai and Torrey planned was to use those cattle, sheep and horses to sell a nominal contract for the Song State, to give themselves political points, and as for the ceded land, it was all false, as long as the sale relationship was confirmed, the ownership changed hands, and the Mongol tribes could see the correctness of their inheritance of Temujin.

Zhao Zheng figured out what was going on, and sighed that this Mongolian wishful thinking was really good, but Zhao Zheng didn't plan to eat those states and counties. This thing can pit Mongolia's cattle, horses and sheep worth millions of yuan, and he is also content, not to mention that when the Song Kingdom sends troops to Haizhou, Chuzhou and Sizhou in the future, Mongolia has no reason to send troops.

This is what Zhao Zheng wants, once the Song State begins to expand its territory, then this war machine will not stop.
