。 Brother Cha returned to his courtyard, he couldn't sleep for a long time, he was not worried about his safety, now the courtyard is standing guard outside the Prince Yan's loyal army, the courtyard is his own guard, everyone understands the truth that the two armies are not fighting, Brother Cha also believes that Zhao Ta will not make small moves on this issue, but will try his best to keep him safe. [Netizens shared that the two countries of Song and Xia had interrupted the trade between the two sides before the official war, and stopped the annual gifts, which made the Western Xia lose its direct economic benefits, resulting in soaring prices and a people's livelihood crisis of lack of materials, and the successive years of conquest have seriously damaged the national strength of the Western Xia, 'the army and the people are dead, and more than half of the sores have been destroyed', and this year's loss of Henan, especially the Lingxia region, has made the economy of the Western Xia even worse, and then a full-scale war with the Song Dynasty is tantamount to self-destruction.

The other is that the handling of the relationship between the Liao State caused serious differences between Brother Cha and the emperor. Li Qianshun has a special affection for the Liao State, he ascended the throne as a young man, and was still a child in the midst of internal and external troubles, when the Western Xia was repeatedly defeated in the war with the Song Dynasty, lost the city and lost the land, and had the potential to destroy the country in one fell swoop, and in the face of the fierce Great Song Dynasty, he had no way.

When Li Qianshun was at a loss, Liao Guo stood up, and a few words settled at this time, which had to make Li Qianshun grateful, and then he married the princess of Liao, and the two countries were in-laws. In his eyes, Liao Guo is his boss, and he has the ability to cover himself, Li Qianshun also hugged this big tree tightly, and he was also respectful to Liao State, and he would send envoys to pay tribute at four o'clock and three festivals, and he never dared to slack off.

Now the Liao State is on the verge of extinction, and the Western Xia is also facing a huge crisis. But Li Qianshun still thinks about the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, the boss is in trouble, and he wants to come to the rescue. If you change the time. Brother Cha will not oppose and will support, the Liao State has relieved the siege for the Western Xia several times and mediated the relationship between the Song and Xia, if it were not for the help of Liao, the Western Xia may have ceased to exist. But now that the Liao State is declining day by day, the Jin State is rising inexorably, and the international situation has changed, it is time to lend a helping hand to the Liao State. will inevitably offend the Jin State, and in the face of the squeeze of the two great powers in the current situation of Western Xia, I am afraid that there will not even be any scum left.

"Lord Wang, the singer sent to Lanzhou does have a regent. It is also the most outstanding of the six! At this time, Xin Ji hurriedly entered the house to report.

"Oh, if that's the case, then wouldn't Prince Yan and Tong Guan have been exchanging words!" Brother Cha's heart sank, so that his intentions were all exposed, then he would inevitably be restrained everywhere in the subsequent negotiations.

"Lord Wang. According to the villain, it may not be, that Tong Guan has eaten so many benefits from us, and he is worried that others will find out, and he will never reveal it to outsiders. Besides, Tong Guan's life in the northwest at this time was not easy, and Prince Yan was strong. Tong Guan was suppressed everywhere, hoping that he would be unlucky. How could he communicate with him, most likely Prince Yan was just suspicious, so he deliberately mentioned the temptation in front of you! Xin Ji said.

"Then how did he know about the Regents?" Brother Cha asked rhetorically.

"Lord Wang, this kind of thing is easy to explain, don't you also have eyeliner buried in Tong Guan's mansion, as long as you send someone to ask, you will know the truth or falsehood!" Xin Ji said.

"Well, then what do you mean when you say that Prince Yan is talking to me about this?" Brother Cha nodded and said, it is not new to send undercover agents to each other's side, but he should report these to the emperor, and it would be a bit abrupt to tell himself.

"Lord Wang, no official or greedy, you deliberately snubbed him, this is forcing him to be anxious, so I have to hint to you that you also want to share some benefits!" Xin Ji twisted his fingers and said.

"Well, if you think about it, there was such a possibility, there was an agreement between us, but I just forgot about him, he is young and vigorous, and it is not surprising to do this kind of thing in a fit of anger!" Brother Cha took two steps in the hall, and said thoughtfully, thinking about the time when he was 'in trouble', in addition to promising to cede Xiazhou and other places, he also had a lot of money, and even his own sister, but now he didn't give it, and he wouldn't swallow this breath if he was in trouble. Thinking of this, Brother Cha suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he still has a handle in the hands of that kid, not only has the agreement to draw the charge by himself, but also his own hammer is with him, if this kid is annoyed, take these out, how can he get a treason, this has to quickly think of a proper way to deal with it. …,

"Xin Ji, I appointed you as the prince of Zhan, you want to find a way to get close to Prince Yan's people, probe his bottom, and see how much appetite he has, after the matter is completed, I will not lose your benefits!" Brother Cha thought about it and said to Xin Ji, as long as it is a matter of money, it will be easy to do.

There is a money problem: when someone tells you that 'it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of principle,' there is a problem of money. Marx said that money is 'the centrifugal force of human affection'. The driving force of money is the most powerful force of human beings, and human beings hurt each other for money far more than any other reason!

In military struggles, we must pay attention to the invisible struggle in the economic undercurrent, because the economy constitutes the strategy and mode of military offensive and defensive defense. At this time, Zhao Ta could not destroy the vitality of the other party by attacking the city and plundering the land, and realize the occupation and domination, so that the economic relations of the Western Xia would be disrupted, and his economic foundation would suffer a heavy blow, and he would have to become a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty economically, so that he would lose the ability to fight again, and the collegial agreement signed by the Song and Xia countries would be of decisive significance.

Because of Wanqing's incompetence, Zhao Ta knew too much about the unequal treaty in his previous life, and it was enough to take one at his fingertips, and Japan's "Treaty of Shimonoseki" is most similar to the scene at this time, and it is called the most poisonous treaty, so he will be a 'Japanese devil'!

Zhao Tan thought clearly, so he drafted an agreement, the main content of which was: Western Xia broke away from the suzerainty relationship with Liao and recognized the Great Song Dynasty as the sole suzerainty of Western Xia; The lord of the Western Xia state is called a vassal, and the abolition of the new lord needs to be canonized by the suzerainty before it can take effect; The Western Xia returned all the land within the Great Wall to the Great Song Dynasty, including the nine towns outside the river; compensate the Great Song Dynasty for military expenses of 10 million yuan; Every year, 400,000 yuan, 50,000 horses, 200,000 sheep, furs and local specialties were paid to the Great Song Dynasty; Guazhou, Suzhou, Xuanhua, and Xiliang were opened as commercial ports, and the Great Song caravans could enter the above places at any time; One-sided most-favored-nation treatment, Western Xia was not allowed to arrest Song Dynasty personnel casually. The Xixia tribes in Henan and Xingling areas can sell their properties and move out of the realm within one year, and those who fail to move within the time limit are regarded as the people of the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty was allowed to set up workshops in the open commercial ports of Western Xia, and the products were sold to various places without customs duties and other taxes; The Great Song Dynasty could levy people and soldiers in the territory of Xia; The Western Xia army had the obligation to obey the dispatch of the suzerain

"Lord Wang, are the conditions we listed too harsh?" Shen Songyue took the prince's draft and said in surprise.

"Oh, Lord Shen, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ta asked after drinking a cup of tea.

"Lord Wang, my Great Song Dynasty is a great country in the Celestial Empire, and I have always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and I have always served the Quartet, but now I have never collected compensation from the small country of Western Xia, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of my great country!" Shen Songyue said.

"Shen Zhu Bo, it is precisely because we have too good face in the past, we are often gracious, and the rewards are often more than the tribute, and the name of the Western Xia is a reward, which is actually a receipt, and the Quartet pays tribute to see a lively, saying that it is a surrender but to get some money for nothing, and we spend money to buy a scenery. Especially the white-eyed wolves of Western Xia, since the Taizu years, have received tens of millions of rewards, but have they really surrendered, and what have the court and the people received from them? If we are a little unsatisfied, we will raise troops, use our money to recruit troops and horses, build weapons, come to kill the people of our Great Song Dynasty, and rob our money. Zhao Ta waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, will Xixia accept this condition?" Shen Songyue was dumbfounded by the prince's words, this kind of appeasement policy implemented by the imperial court for many years, taking money to buy peace did not get any benefits from it, but was blackmailed, but he was worried that it would be difficult for Xixia to accept such conditions.

"Hmph, it's not up to them to accept it or not now, if they don't accept it, they will be beaten until they accept it, and they will be forced to accept it with a gun, what kind of benevolence and morality do you talk to him, will he listen to you!" Zhao Ta said domineeringly. …,

"Lord Wang, even if they accept it, but the Xixia Kingdom has a small fortune, I'm afraid they won't be able to come up with so much money!" Shen Songyue said again.

"This is not for us to consider, I don't care if he steals or robs, whether he cheats or cheats, even if he sells his sons and daughters, smashes pots and sells iron, he has to give it to us, think about how much grain we spent on this expedition to the west, these are the blood and sweat of the people in Hedong, the taxes of the state, do we want the people to take out all this money if we win?" Zhao Ta said with a little hatred.

"This, this, this is really not right!" Shen Songyue was speechless when asked by the prince, but he still didn't agree with the prince's robber theory in his heart.

"Lord Shen, my Great Song Dynasty has more taxes out of the south of the Yangtze River, and now the people in the southeast are in turmoil, soldiers are fighting everywhere, the people are scattered, where do the taxes come from; Northwest Hedong and Henan fought for many years, the treasury was empty, and the people were poor; Hebei, Henan Yang Jian's expansion of fields, has long been three feet high, the Great Song Dynasty has reached the point where the building will fall. But now there are still people in the DPRK and China who are rampant, and they want to invade the Liao State in the north every day, and subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun, and there is no money and food, so what can they do to go to war, so that the soldiers will go to war naked and hungry? Do you have to drive the people to a dead end, kill officials and rebel? You have to settle economic accounts when you fight! Zhao said.

"What the prince said is very true, his subordinates have been taught!" Zhao Ta has always been kind to the staff, and he has never been so polite as he is today, Shen Songyue thought about the words of the prince and suddenly heard rudeness, but when he thought about it, everything was wrong.

"Shen Zhubo, you and Wang Senjun should consider it according to the outline I listed, write out the detailed terms, some of the statements can be replaced with words that are easy to accept, and after writing, together with my letter, send them to Bianjing for eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, and submit them directly to the emperor, don't go through Zhongshu Province!" Zhao Ta sat down again, writing and saying (to be continued......)
