Chapter 602: Gentleman's Treaty

readx;

There are many conditions for the Song army, but it is completely different from what the Dongying people think, and in the minds of the Dongying people, this time the land compensation must be indispensable, because this is the right of the victor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But in the whole treaty, Song Jun did not involve any land cession or compensation at all, which surprised them a little.

Even on the issue of Goryeo, the Song Dynasty did not impose accusations, saying that they had to withdraw their troops from Dongying, but asked Dongying and Goryeo to stop the war for the time being, and to sit down and discuss something. The demands of the Song Dynasty were too simple, they were all the kind of treaties that agreed that Hou Dongying must submit to the face of the Great Song Dynasty.

It's really the last gentleman's treaty, and there is no strong man in the middle, and Emperor Dongying even once thought about it, let alone recognize the monarchy of the Song Dynasty, even if he wants to recognize Renzong as his father now.

Chen Yuan did a very detailed job of the negotiation, the number of people who participated in the negotiation, and each person had a document, so when Emperor Suzaku read it, the others also read it.

They all looked at each other in disbelief, and finally Emperor Dongying said, "Lord Chen, is that all?" ”

His tone was much more polite, the shame caused by Chen Yuan's insult to him was gone, if the people of the Song Dynasty really did what they said in this treaty, then what humiliation could they not accept?

Chen Yuan nodded: "That's all for the general plan, and there are some small problems." ”

A smile appeared on Emperor Gosuzaku's face: "If this is the case, please don't waste any more time in the court, these treaties are completely acceptable, and at the same time, I will personally send a prince to the court to thank the pilgrimage for his forbearance." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Don't be busy yet, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to wait for me to say some detailed rules before making a statement." ”

Emperor Suzaku slammed his head down: "Please make it clear." ”

Chen Yuan said: "This first point is a bit of favoritism, please don't be surprised, you also know that I am a trader, and when the caravans of the Great Song Dynasty enter and leave Dongying in the future, will we renegotiate the tariffs collected?" ”

Later, Suzaku glanced back, and all the Dongying people who came with him nodded desperately, and immediately said: "Lord Chen, don't worry, in the future, Lord Chen's goods will enter and leave Dongying, and no one will charge you anything, and we can negotiate the cost of other merchant ships in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Even if this point is decided, in fact, Chen Yuan very much wants to put those Treaty of Shimonoseki and Twenty-one Articles on the heads of the people of Dongying, which must be very enjoyable.

But he knew that it was an addiction, but it didn't do any good. First of all, the first prerequisite for the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki was that the party that was forced to accept it was a political axe that was unique in the world like the Qing political axe, and that it was willing to use the material resources of the whole country to form a political axe that would favor the friendly nation.

Also, the state of the gentleman of the Song Dynasty has been quite generous and tolerant of some vassal states that are subject to him for many years, if he really takes back such a treaty, then the image of the gentleman of the Song Dynasty will collapse in an instant, and all the vassal states will have problems immediately.

Before leveling the strong enemy of Liao, it is better for the Song Dynasty not to change too quickly, so that those vassal states cannot accept it.

Chen Yuan was a little regretful, and then said: "There is also the problem of Iwami, our Song Dynasty wants to rent that land. Your Majesty the Emperor, please hear clearly, it is a rent, and we will pay you a certain rent every year, and of course, we will negotiate a period of time. ”

This is a disguised land cution, and the people of Dongying know very well that the term of the lease in the Song Dynasty must be very long, and the rent given will not be very much.

But they thought about this for a while, and there was nothing unacceptable. At the beginning, they were ready to pay compensation for land cession, but now the people of the Song Dynasty have used the very euphemistic way of leasing to take care of their face, and there is no reason not to give face.

However, when Chen Yuan said the third additional condition, they really couldn't accept it, Chen Yuan's third condition was that Dongying must recognize the reading power of Tsushima, and from now on, the entire island of Kyushu will be the territory of Tsushima.

What's going on in that Tsushima country, the people of Toei know very well in their hearts. If only the Tsushima Kingdom established by the Song army was only a few small islands in the past, but now Tsushima controls the entire island of Kyushu, which is an unacceptable condition for them in any respect.

Then, it's time to negotiate. Regarding the relationship between Toei and the Great Song Dynasty, the taxation of Song Dynasty merchants, the status of Song Dynasty merchants in Toying in the future, the rental price and term of Iwami, and the issue of Kyushu Island.

Negotiation is just a formality, not to mention that there is only one issue on Kyushu Island that the people of Dongying cannot accept, that is, they cannot accept all the issues, and they must also sign the treaty, this is the alliance under the city, there is nothing to talk about.

The talks, just to put on a posture of mutual consultation, let everyone know that the treaty signed this time is an equal treaty reached by the two sides through consultation in a peaceful, open, and voluntary atmosphere.

It's just a matter of deceiving other vassal states, and deceiving the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty who claim to be gentlemen. The treaties signed by the Song Dynasty have always been bullied, and if they take a bullying treaty back, many people can't accept it.

After that, Emperor Suzaku didn't have to participate, and Chen Yuan wouldn't have to participate. He left the rest to Di Qing, and in ten days he would return and sign the treaty of friendship and equality with Emperor Go-Suzaku.

Taking this free time, Chen Yuan had to deal with the relationship between the merchants who were waiting for him in Nagasaki and the soon-to-be-established state of Tsushima.

Tsushima will be a very special country, and in a sense, it will belong to Chen Yuan. In order to gain a foothold here, and to solve the racial problems that Emperor Toei had not solved for hundreds of years, comprehensive cooperation politically, militarily, and commercially is needed.

On the pier in Nagasaki, the sea breeze on his face made Chen Yuan feel very refreshed, Ma Chang followed Chen Yuan's side and whispered: "Master Ma, this Dongying's sake has always been selling very well, Mongolia and Liao in the north like our Great Song Dynasty wine, but the countries in the southern seas generally drink this kind of sake from the Dongying people." The villain plans to establish a semicolon here, you see, can you give the villain some convenience in terms of land and manpower? ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Convenience is natural, and the younger generation's shopkeeper knows very well that since the fruit has been picked, I will not carry it in my arms alone." ”

Not only Ma Chang, but also some other people behind him also had smiles on their faces, the main reason why they were willing to help Chen Yuan like this was that Chen Yuan could bring benefits to them, and another point was that Chen Yuan gave them enough respect.

Although Chen Shimei is now a concubine, and he is already the president of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce, he can still be a junior in front of Ma Chang and these people as he did when they met before, which makes them feel very comfortable.

Shopkeeper Zhang took a step forward, and then said: "Master Ma, my legs and feet are becoming more and more unfavorable, I want my son to take over the business slowly from now on, I will hand over the business to him, and I will hand over the business to him, and please take care of some things." ”

Chen Yuan looked at him: "Elder Zhang, rest assured, in fact, sometimes you should try to let go and hand over the business to us juniors, not necessarily worse than you." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled: "Where can that fool in my family compare with Master Pony?" ”

Chen Yuan looked at the sea: "A few seniors, you look at the sea in front of you, the reason why he is magnificent is that the waves, wave after wave, if the waves behind can never surpass the waves in front, the sea will have no taste." ”

Ma Chang nodded: "That's what Master Ma said." ”

Chen Yuan paused for a moment, and then said: "I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, helping you make money is helping me make money myself, and I will think of everything that should be thought of for you." The Song Dynasty men you have sent here are preferably young and strong people, and we will issue them with weapons, and if necessary, they must dare to cut them with knives. ”

The merchants immediately said: "Don't worry, I will naturally know what to do." ”

Chen Yuan paused, looked at the shopkeeper Wu who had been following him, beckoned Hu Yanqing to come over, pulled the two of them to the side and walked a few steps, and the other businessmen stopped with interest.

Chen Yuan said to Shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper Wu, this wharf will be built into a military port in the future, and I plan to relocate our shipbuilding research institution here, as well as the small island on the sea more than 100 miles ahead, which will be left to Master Zeng Gongliang in the future, so that he can test all kinds of weapons on it." Let me introduce to you, this is my eldest brother Hu Yanqing, and he is also the marshal of the Tsushima Navy in the future of Equestria, you need to cooperate more. ”

Hu Yanqing hugged his fist at the shopkeeper Wu: "Shopkeeper Wu is good." ”

The marshal of the Tsushima Navy is worthless, but Chen Shimei's eldest brother is valuable, and the shopkeeper Wu is busy returning the salute: "General Huyan, I hope the general will take care of you in the future." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Just get acquainted, the construction of the Tsushima Sailor Division will be handed over to you, you must speed it up, it doesn't matter how much money is needed, I grabbed a silver mine this time, and there is a lot of money." ”

Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "I've heard about it, shopkeeper, you have this silver mine in your hands, and you won't be able to eat it in a few lifetimes." ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "The silver is scrap iron at home, and I will immediately find someone to mine it, large-scale mining." By the way, shopkeeper Wu, there is something I want to tell you, you can help me see if it works. When I have dug up a certain amount of silver, I will provide a sufficient amount to the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, and then, all our transactions will be carried out in silver, and it will no longer be copper coins. ”

Shopkeeper Wu thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is very good, our current trading in Nanyang is gold and silver trading, and when we get to the Great Song Dynasty, we have to exchange copper coins, and then go out and exchange them for gold and silver, which is really a bit troublesome." ”

Chen Yuan saw that he didn't see his true intentions, and smiled at the moment, if even these businessmen didn't know what they were going to do, it meant that their plan could be implemented very smoothly.
