"The edict of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty said: Promote Zu Ti to hussar general, promote Li Te, Meng Guan, Sima Ya, and Xu Chao to right generals, promote Liu Kun, Tao Kan, Gou Xi, Zu Yue, Li Liu, and Zhu Zheng to be left generals, promote Yao Gezhong, Li Xiong, Fu Hong, Zhou Zha, Zhang Fang, Wang Wei, Ma Xian, Wu Yong, Li Zhao and other ten people as generals, and promote Lin Feng, Li Jun, Zhang Mao and other forty-five people as captains......"
"The edict of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty said: Appointed Sima Ya as the envoy of the Central Plains Jiedu, Xu Chao as the envoy of the Guanzhong Jiedu, Liu Kun as the envoy of the Huainan Jiedu, Tao Kan as the envoy of the Liaodong Jiedu, Zu Yue as the envoy of the Shuzhong Jiedu, Zhang Fang as the envoy of the Northwest Jiedu, Li Liu as the envoy of the Shandong Jiedu, Fu Hong as the envoy of the Hebei Jiedu, Zhou Za as the envoy of the Sanhan Jiedu, appointed Li Zhao as the governor of the First Fleet of the Navy, Wang Wei as the governor of the Second Fleet, and ordered Lin Feng to officially start the formation of the Third Fleet of the Navy."
"From now on, the Huainan Governor's Mansion will cease to operate, and the Governor's Mansion will be re-established in each prefecture and county unit to manage the soldiers and militia of various prefectures, and the Great Jin Governor's Mansion will be under the management of the Ministry of War!"
"The edict of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty said: Zhang Bin is the Duke of Qi, Pei Wei is the Duke of Yan, Du Xi is the Duke of Tang, Jiang Tong is the Duke of Lu, Zhou is the Duke of Zhao, Wang Yan is the Duke of Wei, Yang Xuanzhi is the Duke of Zheng, Zu Ti is the Duke of Liang, Meng Guan is the Duke of E, and Li Te is the Duke of Song."
"The edict of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty said: Fifteen marquises such as Zhang Liang, Li Fu, and Zu Yue were entitled, thirty-six people including Pei Wei, Wu Yong, Ma Xian, and Lin Feng were first-class counts, and fifty-seven people including Zhang Mao were first-class viscounts......"
Half a month later, the emperor finally issued a reward for the meritorious soldiers, and this time the reward involved a large number of people. The strength of the ascension is even more extensive than when Sima Shu ascended the throne. The titles of the Duke of Guo alone have suddenly increased by ten, not to mention the second-level titles.
The whole Dajin took advantage of the opportunity of the big victory to celebrate, and there were jubilant crowds everywhere! It was in this context that the envoys sent by Tuoba Liuxiu arrived in Luoyang, the capital division. They passed through Yongzhou all the way, then crossed Tongguan, and finally arrived at the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Along the way, Tuoba Yan, the envoy from the south of Tuoba, saw the prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty, not to mention the upcoming completion of Chang'an New City, just the main artery of the highway from Chang'an to Luoyang shocked these Xianbei people. They looked like hillbillies, and they couldn't get enough of the scenery around them with two eyes.
After entering Luoyang City. Tuoba Yan first went to report to the Li Fan Division of the Great Jin Dynasty. Then the other party will settle the residence, and then the other party will coordinate with the Great Jin side to see when the emperor will receive them. Tuoba Yan had no objection to this, and before he came, Tuoba Liuxiu repeatedly told him that he must win the friendship of the Great Jin.
After receiving the news that the Xianbei people had arrived. Sima Shu immediately summoned Zhang Bin, Jiang Tong, Du Xi and some other cabinet members. Plus Jia Mo, the new director of the Li Fan Division. A total of six people gathered in the imperial study. After Pei Wei was transferred to Youzhou Assassin History, Jia Mo took over the post of director of the Li Fan Division.
This is also the first time that Jia's family has appeared in the court since Empress Jia's ambush. At the beginning, the Jia family was unlucky, and only Jia Mo was retained by Sima Shu. Over the years, the Jia family has been carrying their tails between them. It wasn't until today that Jia Mo became the head of the Li Fan Division, and the Jia family was able to get rid of the bad influence brought by Jia Hou.
The reason why Sima Shu reused the Jia family was that on the one hand, Jia Mo was indeed a talent of the Jia family, and on the other hand, he hoped to ease the relationship with the Jia family in order to completely heal the wounds caused by the Eight Kings Rebellion. At the beginning, Empress Jia was unlucky, and the men of the Jia family were basically involved in the rebellion case, but Empress Jia's daughters still enjoyed the respect of princesses.
Sima Shu didn't look the other way at several half-sisters, and he would give a reward every year. But because of Empress Jia's relationship, several princesses did not dare to get close to Sima Shu at all. After the news of the emperor's reuse of the Jia family came out this time, several princesses rushed to the palace to thank the queen mother and the emperor.
"Jia Aiqing, the Xianbei people have settled down, right? Anyway, it's the guests who come from afar. Pei Aiqing's previous rules are good, you have to keep them well. Li Fansi represents the face of the imperial court, don't let the vassals of Fanbang laugh at me because of etiquette! ”
"Your Majesty understands, please rest assured!" For the first time in five years, Jia Mo came into contact with the core affairs of the imperial court, and it was impossible not to be excited. In fact, Jia Mo was also emotional, who would have thought that he and Sima Shu would talk in the new city at the beginning, and his fate would change so much ten years later.
"Do you have any thoughts about the Xianbei people coming here?" Sima Shu asked.
"Your Majesty, our Li Fan Division thinks like this: Tuoba Six Cultivators sent people here is nothing more than to ask for peace! After the Great Wall War, Tuoba Liuxiu suffered serious losses, and now he felt a little powerless in the face of the aggressive Tuoba Pugen. In this case, Tuoba Liuxiu definitely hopes to ease the relationship with us, and it is best to get the support of the Great Jin! ”
"Therefore, the minister thinks that we can cooperate with Tuoba Liuxiu, anyway, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests! Under the successive wars, the court was in urgent need of recuperation. If the southern part of Tuoba is annexed by Tuoba Pugen, the threat to us will be too great, and it is in the best interests of the current imperial court to let Tuoba Liuxiu act as a buffer between us! ”
"And the most important point is that the imperial court can take the opportunity to incorporate the southern part of Tuoba into the economic system of my Great Jin, that is, to continuously infiltrate the southern part of the Great Jin Dynasty by means of economic aggression, and when the time is ripe, the Great Jin Dynasty can swallow the southern part of the Great Jin Dynasty in one bite!"
"Well, that's very good, we don't still have tens of thousands of Xianbei prisoners of war in our hands, and we can pick out 10,000 of them as a hole card for this negotiation. I have only one request, in the negotiation with Xianbei, we must ensure that the interests of Dajin are not harmed, and there must be no more such thing as the other party saying two good words, and we will give up the benefits of being swollen and fat! Sima Shu admonished.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will do our best to win the greatest benefits for my Great Jin!" Jia Modao, the director of the Li Fan Division. This time Dajin won a big victory, which undoubtedly allowed him to take the initiative in this negotiation, and now I am afraid that Tuoba Liuxiu has long regretted it and his intestines are blue.
Two days later, Jia Mo, the head of the Li Fan Division, made an urgent appointment on behalf of the Great Jin Dynasty to meet with Tuoba Yan, the envoy of Tuoba Liuxiu. After hearing the news, Tuoba Yan was very happy. He was finally able to meet with the high-ranking officials of the Great Jin. Moreover, he felt that the conditions given by the Tuoba tribe were 'very generous', which could completely impress the 'vanity' of the Han people.
It's a pity that when the negotiations began, Tuoba Yan found that the situation in front of him was not what he expected, and the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty were completely different from what he had in mind!
"Lord Jia, on behalf of the entire southern Tuoba and my family's Dadanyu, congratulations to the Great Jin for its brilliant victory!" As soon as they met, Tuoba Yan began to put on high hats for the representatives of the Great Jin.
"Hehe, General Tuoba, it's just our luck. Although unpleasant things happened between us and us before, His Majesty thought that Tuoba Six Cultivation was not more important. I won't bother with you this time. I just don't know how your Tuoba tribe is going to compensate us for our losses? Jia Mo asked unmoved.
"Compensate for the loss?" Tuoba Yan asked in great surprise, he didn't expect that as soon as he came up, the Jin people would ask for compensation from the Xianbei people, which had never happened before, even Wei Guan had never asked for it at the beginning.
"Of course. This time, your troops went south to the Great Wall. It has caused us a lot of losses. If you don't look for this loss, can you still find someone else? Jia Mo looked like he should be, which made Tuoba Yan want to tear the other party apart.
"General Tuoba. In view of the fact that this time your troops invaded our Great Jin for no reason and caused heavy casualties. On behalf of Dajin, this official asks your ministry to make compensation to my Dajin, and guarantees that similar things will not happen in the future! "As soon as the negotiations began, Jia Mo gave the conditions of the Dajin side.
"This, this, this! Master Jia, listen to me explain, this time my department is really not right to go south. For this, our Shan Yu also realized his own mistake. Therefore, he specially told the envoy that as long as the Great Jin is willing to let me go of the southern part of Tuoba, Dadan Yu Tuoba Liuxiu is willing to claim the vassal to the Great Jin and offer a hundred good horses! "Of course Tuoba Yan doesn't want to compensate the Great Jin, it's not that he doesn't want to, but the Tuoba tribe can't come up with anything to compensate, it can be said that the Great Wall battle, so that Tuoba lost a lot of money in the south, otherwise they wouldn't have come here to ask for the Jin people.
"So, you're not willing to pay compensation?" Jia Mo narrowed his eyes and said.
"No, no, no...... Listen to me, sir, it's not that we don't want to compensate, but we really don't have the strength! Tuoba Yan said with a sad face, originally he thought that saying a few good words and wearing a few high hats would make the Han people raise their noble hands, but before he could say anything, the Great Jin Dynasty asked Tuoba Nanfang for compensation.
"Shhhh This, how can this be good! Jia Mo deliberately made a look of embarrassment, seeing that the Xianbei people were about to take the bait, in fact, he was already happy in his heart, "That's it, General Tuoba, I have a suggestion here, I don't know if you want to listen to it?" ”
"Oh? My lord, please speak, as long as we are not allowed to compensate, as long as the Great Jin is willing to support us, we are willing to accept any conditions in the south! Listening to Jia Mo's words, Tuoba Yan was like grasping the last straw, and couldn't wait to agree.
"That's the case, I think the generals also have some feelings, that is, the industrial and commercial development of my Dajin has been rapid in recent years, but unfortunately the internal potential of Dajin is basically going to be tapped out. This made the factory owners everywhere ask the imperial court to open up new markets, and you also know that behind these factory owners are all powerful people from various families, so even His Majesty has to pay attention to it. ”
"But what does this have to do with us?" Tuoba Yan asked a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, listen to what the official has to say. At present, many people are eyeing your southern territories again, especially the land of Henan, which is famous for its rich and fertile land. They have suggested that the imperial court send troops to the foot of Yin Mountain as soon as possible! ”
"Ahh How did His Majesty decide? As soon as Tuoba Yan heard that the Great Jin was going to send troops, he was immediately anxious.
"Hehe, General Tuoba is not in a hurry, but His Majesty took into account the exhaustion of the people after years of war, so he temporarily suppressed it. If you are willing to open the market to our merchants of the Great Jin Dynasty and ease the pressure from the factory owners from all over the country for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not mind giving you a little benefit in the negotiations! ”
"Then what does it take to do something in the south of Tuoba?" Tuoba Yan asked cautiously.
"It's very simple, as long as you allow me to start construction on your territory, of course, you must ensure their personal safety, and we can build a port in Shengle to facilitate economic ties between the two sides! As long as you agree to our terms, we will not only forgive you compensation, but also be willing to lend you money. ”
"Really!?" Tuoba Yan really couldn't believe that this was true, not that the conditions of the Great Jin were too bad, but that they were too good, and even he couldn't believe that it was true. Especially when it comes to loans, it's a real bonus. Since the establishment of Dajin Qianzhuang, lending has become a very common business activity in Dajin. If the Great Jin is really willing to lend money to the southern part of Tuoba, they will be able to buy Great Jin weapons and food, which will greatly ease their own pressure. (To be continued......)
