Chapter 329: Self-defeating
If it weren't for the clever refusal of the prince of Goryeo to accept the defense of Bao and Yuanerzhou, there would not have been a series of major wars in the future, and there would have been no seizure and occupation of the island. Now, as the emperor had expected, as soon as the war had subsided, the Goryeo people came to pick fruits.
"It seems that Bao and Yuan Erzhou are not among us in the handover with your country, right?" Zhao Yong listened to Jin Fushi's words and said in surprise.
"Don't joke, Dashuai, there is no dispute between Bao and Yuan Erzhou, and it does not involve the matter of the Celestial Empire and the Jin Peace Conference, how can it not be among the handovers!" Jin Fushi was even more surprised and asked puzzled.
"Lord Jin, it's a matter of relations between the two countries, how can Ben Shuai joke about it!" Zhao Yong said solemnly with a straight face.
"Marshal, Bao and Yuan Erzhou belong to my Goryeo, although they have been recovered by your army, they should be returned to our country according to the original agreement, but now they are no longer delivered, what does it mean?" Jin Fushi also put away the kind face just now and asked.
"Lord Jin, my Great Song Dynasty has always put benevolence and righteousness first, and will never do anything that goes back on my word, but you are violating the previous agreement by asking for Erzhou at this moment, right?" Zhao Yong's face also changed and said coldly.
"Dashuai, the agreement between the two countries is written in black and white, and before the ink is dry, your country will break the contract, how can you say benevolence and righteousness!" Of course, Jin Fushi would not give up, and got up and said angrily.
"Ruling and handsome, speak slowly if you have something to say, don't hurt the harmony of the two countries!" Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Wang Wei pulled Jin Fushi's sleeve and asked him to sit down, and said to Zhao Yong.
"Lord Jin, this commander can tell you that the two states of Bao and Yuan have been included in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty according to the previous proposal, and it is impossible to hand them over to your country. But Lord Jin is disrespectful to the Celestial Empire, and I want to ask the lord of your country! Zhao Yong still said with a tough attitude.
"Great. Don't think that your army can deceive me if you are strong and strong, and the old man will fight for his life, and he will go to your country to meet the saint. Ask him why he didn't follow the agreement and took over my country! Old man Jin was also very angry, and he started to shoot the case.
"Don't say anything about being in power, there must be some misunderstanding, don't be angry!" Wang Wei knew best what was going on at this time, seeing that the two sides were already tense and had to find the top leader of the other party to fight a lawsuit, he became nervous and became a peacemaker.
"Shizi. This matter is related to the national body, how can a misunderstanding be stopped, the old man must be clear! Jin Fushi's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't give Wang Wei face at all.
"Who is afraid of whom, Ben Shuai will never bear the name of breach of contract and breach of trust, but you Gaoli are so untrustworthy and abandoned Erzhou, and now you are asking for it, you have to think clearly about the consequences of accusing me of the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yong's face was not good-looking, and he said angrily.
"Where did the marshal say this. How did I, Goryeo, abandon Erzhou? Jin Fushi was suddenly startled and asked.
"The matter of Erzhou, the prince knows best, you won't forget it, right?" Zhao Yong said angrily.
"In power, the Celestial Empire's naval army defeated the Jin naval army and recovered Bao and Yuan Prefectures. I want our army to take over the defense. However, the war in Xijing was urgent, and the ministers of the court and China were worried that the city would be lost, and the Jin army would enter the capital. At that time, there were no troops available, so it was decided to abandon the two states! Wang Wei looked at Jin Fushi and looked at himself. But in front of the Song people, it was difficult for him to say that he was clever, so he had to briefly explain what happened.
"Why don't I know about this?" When Jin Fushi heard it, it turned out that there was really a reason. No wonder Zhao Yong is so tough, but he doesn't know anything about such a big thing.
"The ruling party was in Xijing at the time, and everyone was worried that telling you would affect the morale of the army and people in Xijing, so they ...... "Wang Wei didn't dare to look at the truth directly, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and they didn't have good intentions at the beginning, and they were worried that they would be opposed after telling Jin Fushi, so they kept it a secret from him, and when the war was over, he knew that he was helpless.
"I see! Handsome, the old man doesn't know the inside story, and his words have a lot of conflicts, please atone for his sins! Jin Fushi's face turned blue when he heard this, and he bowed to Zhao Yong.
"Don't blame those who don't know, Lord Jin doesn't have to be so reasonable!" Zhao Yong replied, but secretly said in his heart Fortunately, you didn't know the way at the beginning, otherwise how could we take Erzhou lightly and get this important military land. Naturally, the two sides could not continue to talk about the emergency, and Jin Fushi was also anxious to go back to understand the truth of the matter, so the talks between the two sides broke up unhappily......
Jin Fushi returned to his residence and immediately asked Wang Wei in detail about the abandonment of Bao and Yuan's two states, and Wang Wei had to explain in detail that he wanted to use the strength of the Song army to hold Erzhou, and to avoid the Jurchens from taking advantage of this to make trouble, and after the Song army withdrew its troops, Erzhou could take advantage of the situation to recover Erzhou. Who would have expected that the Song army was so strong, not only repelled the Jin army, but also forced the Jurchens to sue for peace, which reversed the original idea, and the Song army decided to occupy Erzhou for a long time and refused to return.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Jin Fushi could only look up to the sky and sigh, these people in the DPRK and China have missed the national affairs. Needless to say, the importance of the geographical location of the two states of Bao and Yuan, the blind people of the five kingdoms who occupied the lazy place could see that they were in the same group as the Great Song Dynasty, and the loss of the two states in Goryeo was equivalent to losing the gateway to the north, and it was confined to the peninsula and had no room for expansion. And the Great Song Dynasty occupied two places, and when they entered, they could attack Jin, and they could occupy Goryeo when they retreated, and they could attack and defend freely, but Goryeo could only rely on the snort of the Great Song Dynasty to live in the future.
"Ruling the government, do you think the Great Song Dynasty will return our two states?" Wang Wei looked at the old man walking around the house after making a fire, and asked absentmindedly.
"It's hard now!" Jin Fushi sighed and said dejectedly, the Song army's occupation of Erzhou is equivalent to controlling the estuary of the Yalu River, restricting the entry and exit of the Jin army, and it is a horn with Dengzhou, occupying the West Korean Bay, the Song army can enter and exit the Bohai Sea at will, and go deep into the ocean.
"Ruling the government, before leaving, my father asked us to ask for the two states, how can we explain if we go back empty-handed?" When Wang saw that Jin Fushi said solemnly, he was also worried.
"Now the plan can only be discussed with the Great Song Dynasty to see if they can agree to lease the two states in imitation of Midao." Jin Fushi thought for a while.
"It's a very good plan to govern, as long as we raise the price so that the Great Song can't afford it, they will naturally retreat!" Wang Wei high-fived and praised the wonderful way.
"Alas, the current situation of the prince is that I am a fish and a meat, and he is a sword, do you think they will agree to our sky-high price?" Jin Fushi sighed again after hearing this, but his heart was very bitter, the prince still didn't know the seriousness of the situation, and he could say such innocent words.
"Hmph, then we will temporarily release our forbearance, and after they finish withdrawing, we will take advantage of the emptiness of the Song army in the two states to mobilize a large army to seize the two states, and see what they can endure me!" Seeing that this trick was rejected, Wang Wei immediately had another plan, and said with a cold snort.
"Alas......" Jin Fushi only let out a long sigh this time, and did not say anything, the prince of a country said such unobtrusive words, Goryeo could no longer see hope, and Jin Fushi, who was hit hard, was even more indescribably depressed, and actually had the intention of retreating.
"After we capture Erzhou, we can take advantage of the situation to attack Haoladian, drive the Jurchens out of Lu, and include them in our Goryeo territory, at that time we have the Yalu River natural risk, and we can refuse the Jin State from the country, then we can ......"
"Shizi, if we rob Erzhou, how to deal with the Song army coming to retaliate? Even if the Song army does not come, even if we have the natural danger of the Yalu River, can we independently block the iron hooves of the Jurchens, will the Song army still come all the way across the sea to help? Are we once again subservient to Kim and let him oppress him! Jin Fushi listened to Wang Wei's endless plans for the future of Goryeo, and became more and more annoyed, and couldn't help but interrupt him, and asked questions again and again before brushing his sleeves away.
"Old horseman, relying on his qualifications, he didn't put this son in his eyes, and when I ascended the throne, I will give you a good look!" Wang Wei looked at Jin Fushi's old back and muttered......
The next day, Wang's words were met with retribution, and he received a report that the Song army had abruptly halted its withdrawal and had built five forts south of the city of Baozhou, apparently to defend Goryeo. At the same time, the troops of the Five Kingdoms also began to move towards Heecheon and Hamhung, and although they did not clash with the Goryeo army, they also made the Goryeo defenders nervous, fearing that they would attack. As soon as he saw that the Song army was in a posture of battle, Wang Wei immediately coaxed, and no longer dared to say big things such as snatching Erzhou and recovering Haoladian, so he handed over the matter to Jin Fushi and hid himself and never showed up again.
The Song army suddenly prepared for war, not because Zhao Yong had the ability to predict the emperor's unpredictable prophet, nor did he plant spies among the Goryeo, but because he relied on the intuition of a veteran. At this moment, the army has gradually returned to China, leaving only their own personal troops, the third and fourth brigades of the marines, and the newly formed garrison brigade based on the marines, with only more than 10,000 troops.
A large number of people from the Central Plains who were rescued from the Jin Kingdom had not yet boarded the ship. According to the emperor's intentions, he hoped that these Central Plains people would stay, one could consolidate the newly acquired land, and the other would not compete with the domestic people for land. This measure is not enforced, but the treatment of those who stay is very different: those who stay are given a settling-in allowance of 500 yuan per household, 100 acres of land, and two cattle; The treatment of returnees will be halved, and the land will be arranged by the local state and county after returning to the place of origin. There is a huge disparity in treatment, but nearly 20,000 people still want to return to China.
In order to prevent the Goryeo people from taking risks, Zhao Yong decided to bluff and scare the Goryeo people, so that they could break off the idea of grabbing the two states by force as soon as possible, and at the same time mobilize the troops of the five countries to let the Goryeo know that they were not fighting alone, and they could take care of each other if something happened. In another round of negotiations, Zhao Yong rejected Jin Fushi's proposal to lease the two states at the most favorable price, insisting that the two states should be returned to the Song Dynasty, and the ownership of the two states was to be determined, and it would be discussed later.
The Goryeo side was self-defeating and lost Erzhou, and it was helpless, so he ordered Jin Fushi to be the envoy and go to Bianjing to talk with the Song Emperor...... (To be continued......)
