…

At the moment when Li Cunjun and his ministers were working together to annex Jidi, Li Cun suddenly received an urgent report from Wu Jue, who was guarding the northwest, saying that two envoys of the Jin State had entered from Western Xia, indicating that they were coming to the Daqian Dynasty to discuss the matter of peace between the two countries.

Receiving this news, Li Cun couldn't help but sigh: "What should come is always coming." ”

The top officials of the Jin Kingdom had actually realized that something was wrong.

Their Dajin Kingdom mobilized almost a million troops to set up defenses, and they could only come to the decisive battle with cadres.

I don't want to, the left-class cadres will not come to the decisive battle, and the right-class cadres will not come to the decisive battle.

After sending sentinels to inquire again, the Daqian Dynasty actually built a wharf and a railroad on the Tokyo Road and the Lazy Road in their Jin Kingdom.

The actions of the Great Qian Dynasty are really too suspicious, and they really can't be thought about by the high-level people of the Jin Kingdom.

In fact, all along, the high-ranking officials of the Jin State have not been worried about the attack of the cadre army.

Don't look at the sharp weapons of the cadre army, the weapons of the Jin army are backward, but in this grassland of Ma Pingchuan, as long as their grassland warriors do not want to fight the cadre army head-on, the powerful firearms of the cadre army do not want to play a role.

In addition, in the past, the grasslands could not be effectively ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty, and the key reason was that the cost of communication and transportation was too high.

Once the army of the Central Plains Dynasty entered the grassland, as long as the grassland people used the guerrilla tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed and disturbing, the enemy tired and fighting, and the enemy retreating and chasing, the army of the Central Plains Dynasty could be dragged down.

In addition, it is useless for the Central Plains Dynasty to lay down the grassland, they can't live here, and they don't dare to live here, and in the end they can't get anything except grab some livestock, property, and carve words on the stone, if they catch the people on the grassland, not only have to spend food to feed them, but also have to bother to govern them, and even have to prevent them from rebelling at any time.

To put it bluntly, the cost is seriously disproportionate to the output.

In the words of those literati of the Central Plains Dynasty, this is a matter of labor and money, and the emperor who is keen on this kind of thing is reckless and reckless.

In the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Jin Kingdom, the grasslands always belonged to these nomads, so they were invincible.

But after the Daqian Dynasty laid down the Tokyo Road and the Lazy Road of their Jin Kingdom, they no longer moved forward, but put on a posture of digesting the Tokyo Road and the Lazy Road of their Jin Kingdom first.

This is not a good sign.

If the Daqian Dynasty really annexed the Tokyo Road and the Lazy Road of their Jin Kingdom, then it would be a huge threat to the Jin Kingdom.

The key is that the Tokyo Road and the Lazy Road of their Jin Kingdom pass through the governance of the Han people, the Liao people who are proficient in Han culture, the Bohai people who are highly sinicized, and the Jin people who are proficient in Han culture.

The key point is that after the cadres of Yue Fei's army attacked and defeated the Tokyo Road and the Lazy Road of their Jin State, they immediately turned from attack to defense, and the Great Qian Dynasty issued a decree that from now on, trade with the Jin State and its allies should be stopped, especially the grain, salt, tea and daily necessities necessary for the Jin people, strictly controlled, and no trace of it was allowed to flow into the grassland.

This trick is a bit too murderous.

Because these things are the rigid needs of the grassland people, monopolizing these things can completely control the people on the grassland.

Zhang Juzheng in history did just that, but unfortunately he didn't stick to the end.

In the end, it was another nomadic Manchu Jurchen, who tossed the Mongols from a peak of nearly 10 million people to just over 500,000 later.

You can see how successful this trick is.

However, it takes a lot of time for this trick to work.

Although the high-level officials of Jin Guo realized that it was not good, they did not feel urgent.

What really made the high-ranking people of the Jin Kingdom feel anxious was that after a while, they heard a piece of news that shocked them collectively - the Qianjun army had invaded the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty from the sea, captured Wang Kai and Wanyan Xian'er and all the royal families and clans of the Goryeo Dynasty, and was currently sweeping the Goryeo Dynasty.

This time, the high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom finally understood the battle plan of the Ming Dynasty to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang.

If the Daqian Dynasty is allowed to complete this battle plan, with the support of money and food from the Goryeo Dynasty, the cadres will no longer have to worry about the high cost of communication and transportation, and the key is that without the worries of the Goryeo Dynasty, even if the Daqian Dynasty does nothing after that, it will be able to destroy the Jin State only by virtue of the economic and trade war that has begun now.

As a person from the grassland, all the high-ranking people of the Jin State knew how important the grain, salt, tea and daily necessities that were sealed by the Daqian Dynasty were.

It can be said that if the Jin State fails to solve this problem for a long time, those allies in the steppe of the Jin State will definitely betray the Jin State, and even be assassinated by the Jin State.

This trick of the Great Qian Dynasty is really too poisonous.

What to do?

Counterattack their Kim country's Tokyo Road and Lazy Road, and then fight to Goryeo?

Of course, all the high-level leaders of the Jin country are unwilling to do so.

But the problem is that the red-coated cannons of the cadres can't run, and they can't catch up with the horses of their Dajin warriors, but when they fight defensive battles and positional battles, they are afraid that their millions of troops will be on the same page, and it is not certain whether they can win the 120,000 troops of Yue Fei's department.

This time, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang and others jumped out again to make peace, saying that only by negotiating peace with the Daqian Dynasty could their Dajin Kingdom escape the catastrophe, and then they first quelled the rebellion of Yelu Yujian and Xiao Wuliu to take back the back road of their Jin people, and then they would deal with the Daqian Dynasty.

Wanyan Zonggan, Jin Wushu and other high-level leaders of the Jin State who fought the main battle disagreed.

In this regard, Wanyan Zongpan just said lightly: "Then you can wait to come up with a good plan to save the country." ”

After finishing Yan Zonggan, Jin Wushu and other high-level Jin State leaders who were fighting the main battle, they were suddenly speechless, and could only reluctantly propose to send envoys to the grassland tribes and Western Xia, and the grassland tribes and Western Xia showed that they were dead and cold, and strengthened their alliance to jointly resist the attack of the Great Qian Dynasty on the grassland.

However, the propositions of the high-level leaders of the Jin State who were fighting the main battles such as Yan Zonggan and Jin Wushu were obviously untenable.

Seeing this, the number of Jin people who supported the peace agreement suddenly increased.

In the end, Wan Yan had no choice but to send envoys to Tokyo in their Jin Kingdom to discuss peace with the Daqian Dynasty.

At the same time, Wanyan Kang, in accordance with the meaning of Wanyan Zonggan and Jin Wushu, sent envoys to the grassland tribes and Western Xia, so that they could send troops to jointly repel the invasion of the grassland by the Daqian Dynasty.

The envoys sent by the Jin State to Liaoning Road were all detained by Zhao Ding without exception.

After hearing the news, the high-level detectives of the Jin Kingdom thought that this was an opportunity for the military of the Daqian Dynasty to fight with them and get promoted and make a fortune, and then interfered with it.

As a result, a group of high-ranking officials of the Jin State sent envoys directly to the capital of the Daqian Dynasty through Western Xia, asking to see Li Cun and discuss the matter of the two families striking the army and discussing peace.

Jin Guoneng took the initiative to send envoys here, which first showed that they were really afraid of being beaten by the cadres.

And the Daqian Dynasty also needs time to recover the Jidi.

The key point is that Li Cun is not willing to fight on two fronts.

Therefore, Li Cun ordered Wu Jue to send two golden envoys to Kyoto.

However, Li Cun also secretly ordered Wu Jue to delay the time for the two golden envoys to come to Beijing, so as to buy more time for Zhao Li and Yu Guang to recover the Jidi.

Wu Jue understood, sent people with two golden envoys to go around most of the Daqian Dynasty, originally two days by train to reach Nanjing Yingtianfu, they had to walk for two whole months.

This reminded the Jin envoys Wanyan Zongmei (the son of Wanyan Wu Qimai) and Da Jingguan (the Jurchen nobles) that the Jin envoys Holu and Dadiwu had been sent to the Zhao and Song dynasties.

At that time, Song Chen Wang Shizhong took Hao Lu and Da Diwu for more than two months to arrive in Tokyo Bianliang City, and Huo Lu and Da Diwu had just arrived in Tokyo Bianliang City and were arranged by Guozi Si Ye Quan Yanbang to live under house arrest in Tongwen Hall, and they were released back to Jin Guo after more than half a year, and nothing was negotiated.

Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan were very afraid that the Daqian Dynasty would completely copy the Zhao and Song Dynasty's delaying tactics and let them come in vain, and even detain them in the Daqian Dynasty, just like the envoys sent by the Jin State to their Jin Kingdom Tokyo Road.

Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan had the intention to go home and return to Jin, but they were shouldering the heavy trust of Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyan Chang and the national fortune of Jin, so they really had no choice but not to go to Kyoto of the Daqian Dynasty.

There was no way, Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan could only follow the guide sent to them by Wu Jue to stop and go, and walked from summer to autumn before they came to Nanjing Yingtianfu, the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

What made Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan breathe a sigh of relief was that the Daqian Dynasty did not directly detain them, but arranged for Ma Zhi to be made by Ling Huiyou Pavilion and Lang Tian Hao as the main and deputy envoys, and they were warmly received and arranged for them to live temporarily in the post house.

The next day, Zhao Liangsi and Tian Hao, on behalf of the Daqian Dynasty, officially talked to Wanyan Zongmei and Dajingguan about the reasons for their envoy to the Daqian Dynasty.

Wanyan Zongmei said: "Daqian is a state of etiquette, you and I have no long-cherished wishes, and there is a peace treaty, now your dynasty disregards the friendship of the two families, and takes the lead in raising troops to the north, and the soldiers are famous, I don't know why your family suddenly came to fight?" ”

When Ma Zhi heard this, he snorted heavily: "Your family still dares to come and question my family?" Wait for yourself to count, since the signing of the peace treaty, how many times has your family committed a crime, but when did my family not endure it again and again? ”

Wanyan Zongmei knew that he was at a loss, but he still quibbled: "This is all done by Sticky Han alone, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, Sticky Han supports the army and respects himself, it is my Dajin thief, and now he has been imprisoned by the prime minister of my family to go to Beijing, if your dynasty agrees to strike the army and return the territory occupied by my family, my family will hand over all the sticky Han family to your dynasty, how about it?" ”

Ma Zhileng snorted and said: "If your family thinks that Sticky Han is a traitor, you should send an envoy to my house to explain the situation, and you can also ask my family to send troops to help your family commit adultery, but your family has never sent an envoy to my house to explain, and the last time your family committed a crime, it was your emperor who led the troops with Sticky Han when he did not ascend the throne, so this is clearly your family's sophistry, this is an extraordinary move, so Xingshi asked the guilt, what is nameless?" ”

Wanyan Zongmei said: "The sticky Han soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, everyone in our dynasty is afraid of them, and they dare not be enemies with them, and my emperor is no exception, so I can only be false and wrong, and I dare not ask your dynasty for help, and there is no need to doubt the horse waiting for the system." ”

Ma Zhi was unmoved and said: "Clever tongue! The fake teacher asked for help, when he was sincere, Bao Xu cried Qin, and Kong Ming went to Wu, all of them were sincere. If you ask for help like this, how can your neighbors not be able to? However, the noble dynasty has not sent a messenger to our great work, and although the dynasty has a heart of pity, there is nothing to do. Today's soldiers are pressing the border, only on the eve of the day, the blessings and misfortunes will survive, and the monarchs and ministers of your dynasty can judge themselves! ”

Wanyan Zongmei was speechless by Ma Zhi, but she was silent.

Seeing this, Ma Zhi said again: "If your family has the sincerity to know the mistake, you should directly say your will, otherwise you will see each other on the battlefield." ”

Seeing that Ma Zhi was so strong, Wanyan Zongmei could only say that they hoped that the two families could re-sign the peace treaty with the area they currently occupied as the boundary.

In addition, Wanyan Zongmei emphasized that the Daqian Dynasty must return the corpses of the Jin royal family and clansmen, such as Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu, and Wanyan Zongfu, as well as reopen the field on the border between the two countries, and must not restrict the trade in grain, salt, tea, and daily necessities.

With such peace conditions, Ma Zhi will definitely not be able to call the shots.

Therefore, Ma Zhi hurried back to the palace and reported to Li Cun.

The reason why Li Cun was willing to talk to the Jin people was mainly to buy time for Zhao Li, Yu Guang and others to recover the land.

After all, Li Cun was certainly unwilling to fight on two fronts unless he had to do so.

And just as the Jin people feared, as long as the Daqian Dynasty completely annexed the Jindi, with sufficient money and grain to act as a stable rear of the Jin-cutting army, supplemented by railway transportation and modern communications, the Jin State will undoubtedly be defeated, even if the Daqian Dynasty no longer sends troops, only to fight economic and trade wars, and finally destroy the Jin State.

Therefore, Li Cun was ready to agree to the Jin people's request for peace first.

As for how long this peace treaty can last, it depends on how long Zhao Li and Yu Guang can completely recover the land for the Daqian Dynasty.

However, Li Cun could not agree to all the conditions put forward by the Jin people.

It is easy to say that the corpses of the royal family and clan of the Jin Kingdom, such as Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu, and Wanyan Zongfu, will be returned to the Jin State, and the Jin people will be given a step to negotiate peace, as well as the reopening of the border between the two countries, the fair trade of grain, salt, tea, and daily necessities, and the lifting of economic and trade sanctions against the Jin people.

After all, at this stage, the focus of the Daqian Dynasty is on recovering the Kei land, not on the recovery of the Jindi, and it can make some concessions to the Jin people appropriately.

But Li Cun has one condition, that is, he wants to finish Yan Zonghan's family, from old to young, from male to female, even if it is a house slave, no one is missing.

When it comes to this level, it is already very successful for Wanyan Zongmei and Dajingguan.

And in order to let the cunning Jin Ren not use any crooked brains, Li Cun asked Ma Zhi to take Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan to the shooting range for a look.

At the shooting range, Wanyan Zongmei and Dajing watched a scene that they will never forget.

I saw that a red-coated cannon with a large water tank and a thickness of almost three zhang long had flattened a hill ten miles away with just one cannon.

The shocking scene frightened Yan Zongmei and Da Jingguan dumbfounded.

Ma Zhi took this opportunity to say to Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan: "If it weren't for your family's timely request for peace, my family would only need to line up a hundred of these cannons, and your family's million-strong army would be wiped out in just an instant." ”

Wanyan Zongmei and Da Jingguan brought back what they had seen and heard on the shooting range of the Daqian Dynasty and told them to the Jin people, so frightened that almost all of those Jin people said that they should hurry up and negotiate peace with the Daqian Dynasty, and that this battle could not be fought again, even if it was fought, it would have to wait until their Dajin Kingdom also developed a magic cannon with the same power.

Only a few people who have really studied the red-clothed cannon of the Daqian Dynasty are full of doubts in their hearts: "Daqian really has such a powerful cannon?" Why am I so unbelieving? ”

But the reason why Jin Guo negotiated peace with the Great Qian Dynasty this time was mainly to stabilize the Qianjun first, give them time to develop new firearms and eliminate the Khitans who occupied their hometown.

For this reason, although Jin Wushu felt that there was something wrong with the divine cannon of the Daqian Dynasty, he did not make any extraneous branches, but acquiesced in the peace advocated by the Jin State Lord and faction.

Soon, the Jin people, who had reached a consensus, tied up thousands of men and women from Wanyan Zonghan's family, including slaves, and sent them to the Daqian Dynasty to sign a contract.

As for the feelings of Wanyan Zonghan's family?

Who cares?
