Chapter Seventy-Five: Here Comes the Fruit Pickers.
The peace talks that followed were no surprises......
At this point, Wang Yue would like to thank Xiao Gan, his angry attack made the whole Hebei rumor, and Tong Taishi and Cai You, who were scared out of a cold sweat, made every effort to promote this peace talk.
They were really freaked out.
It is said that when the Hebei forbidden army bombed the camp in Xiongzhou, Cai You was so frightened that he abandoned the army and fled.
And Wang Huang, who is currently presiding over the government, is originally Tong Guan's political ally, and Cai You is the most favored Wenchen around the great painter, and they work together in this matter, of course, there will be no surprises, at most it is just a little bargaining on some conditions.
Finally, after a month, the two sides reached an agreement.
Yeluchun was crowned King of Yan.
He was succeeded by the daughter of Xiao Puxian after his death.
After Xiao Puxian's death, she will appoint an heir by herself, for example, she will adopt an adopted son or something in the future.
Originally, in the prefectures and counties to which the Liao State Xijin Mansion belonged, Yizhou was divided separately to the imperial court, and together with the neighboring Laishui, Xincheng, and Rongcheng, a separate Yizhou Mansion was set up, with Qigou Pass as the boundary, and Qigou Pass naturally belonged to Yizhou Mansion. In addition, Jizhou and Jingzhou, together with Yutian, returned to the imperial court, and set up Yuyang Mansion separately, in fact, the purpose is to separate Zhang Ying and Xiao Puxiannu, and this is also the main garrison military area of the imperial court.
Then the rest, including Juyong Pass, were all assigned to King Yan as a fief.
Of course, theoretically, Xiao Puxian's daughter offered not only Xijin, but all the land of the current Northern Liao, so all the sixteen states of Youyun have belonged to the Great Song Dynasty.
The great painter finally fulfilled the last wish of the sorghum river car god.
As for whether the Jurchens would give the ones they had already annexed to the great painters......
That doesn't matter, it's already from the Great Song on the map.
As for Zhang Ying, who controlled Pingzhou Road, he had also agreed to surrender in principle, but only if the great painter turned it into a Jiedu envoy, and then he was a hereditary Jiedu envoy of the Zhang family.
He should have met this request as well.
The taxes of King Yan's fief belong to himself, King Yan has his own shogunate, and there is nothing wrong with King Yan guarding the three armies, but one million guan a year is a bit much, after all, the old coins were only 500,000 taels, so the great painter also only agreed to give 500,000 guan.
After all, the taxes have already gone to King Yan.
Xiao Pu finally agreed to this price, but at the behest of Wang Yue, she asked for the right to salt and iron, especially the coastal land south of Yutian was also counted as her fief.
The great painter didn't care about this problem, and happily brought it to her.
As for the remaining ministers, this is very simple, Li Chuwen, Zuo Qigong, these are all knighted, everyone has a temperance envoy, the Great Song Dynasty does not care about wages, as for the actual dispatch, in addition, their children are either given a position, or enter the Taixue, the original Jinshi of the Liao State, also given the title of Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty, it is nothing more than to transfer to other roads or even the capital as an official, and it is definitely not possible to be an official locally.
These people are also satisfied with this.
They even prefer to go to Kaifeng to be officials.
After all, this place in Xijin is actually not very attractive, and the flower world of Kaifeng is what they yearn for the most.
Then there is the issue of the army.
Changed the Tianjin Mansion to Yanshan Mansion and established the Yanshan Mansion Road.
Then the imperial court will send a Xuanfu envoy to Yanshan Mansion, and know Yanshan Mansion, and govern the Yanshan Mansion Road, including the Yanwang Guards and Zhang Ying's troops, and the Xuanfu Envoy is of course directly under the Changsheng Army, and this Changsheng Army is naturally Wang Yue......
No one was fighting him.
At least no one is fighting him now.
Because everyone knows very well that the next thing is to see whether the Jurchens agree or not.
In fact, the Jurchen envoys Kulu and Gao Qing had already arrived in Kaifeng, and they were dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty's acceptance of the Northern Liao's land offering, because according to the maritime alliance, the Great Song could not negotiate peace with the Liao State alone.
There is also the problem of Pingzhou Road.
The Jurchens insisted that Pingzhou Ruth belong to them.
It's just that it's useless for them to insist now, because they can't get there.
Han Qingmin in the north blocked the western Liaoning corridor, Xiao Gan's guerrillas in the Rehe Mountains blocked the Luanhe line, and the Jurchen army was beyond the reach of the Pingzhou whip chief, and they wanted to prevent Zhang Ying from surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty, so they had to solve Han Qingmin and Xiao Gan first, otherwise they could only talk about it. But this does not mean that they have given up the fight for here, Aguta obviously wants to control Pingzhou, and then stretch out his hand to the south of Yanshan, so that after solving Emperor Tianzuo, he will start the war against the Great Song Dynasty depending on the situation.
Therefore, these troops on the Yanshan Road are the cannon fodder on the front line, once the Jurchens go south to go up, the real main force of the Song army will have to continue to hide behind the Great Wall of Water before establishing the Yanshan defense line.
Of course, no one fights for the role of cannon fodder.
In the end, Wang Yue got his wish and got the position of commander of the winning army, and the official rank was also abruptly promoted to the defense envoy because of the merit of the surprise attack on Xijin.
From the five pins!
The remaining Zhen Wuchen, Liu Shunren, and Zhao Heshou are also assassins.
Ma Kuo made meritorious service, and the door preached and praised the people to turn positive.
Even Wu Song was rewarded, although he was a master, but it was still possible to build a temple in Yanshan Mansion, and the great painter just showed his attitude of promoting Buddhism to the people of Yanshan Mansion......
Obviously, he thought Wu Song was a good master.
He didn't know that this master actually only liked to use the knife to transform the world.
In short, the ancestral cause of the Great Song Dynasty to recover the sixteen states of Youyun was completed with the dedication of Xiao Puxian's daughter......
Well, it's not over yet.
And one last procedure.
The north bank of the restored Lugou pontoon bridge.
"This is Cai You?"
Wang Yue looked at the pontoon bridge in front of him with interest.
There is like a team to welcome the bride, a gorgeous guard of honor is coming, behind the front of various brands of flags, is an open four-shouldered top, on which sits a rather rich middle-aged man, dressed in a purple robe and hand-cranked folding fan, looking at this side with the temperament of a grandmother killer. On one side are a few little guys with red lips and white teeth, and on the other side is Liu Kuang, who is smiling, riding a horse with his head down, and is very humble with a smiling face.
This young man has a great future!
"He's a deputy envoy of the Xuanfu Division, and he personally comes to act as an envoy, isn't he too diligent?"
Wang Yue said.
Xiao Cai is a first-class cronie of the great painter.
At this time, he was even more favored than his father, his father Cai Jing had actually been stepped down by him, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, and these people in partnership, the relationship between father and son was bad, and it was rumored that he once took his father's hand and hinted that you, an old guy, are not sick?
Of course, it could also be acting.
After all, the worse the relationship between his father and son, the more the great painter trusted them.
But at least in the eyes of the outside world, Lao Cai and Xiao Cai are still a typical example of father-son enmity, it is said that when he and Tong Guan went to force his father to step down, his father also called him and Tong Guan the second duke!
"He is a deputy envoy of the Xuanfu Division, the only thing he shows his face is to abandon the army and flee in Xiongzhou, and he fell into the ditch halfway and almost drowned, and now the overall situation has not been determined to make some money to brag about, how can the official family give him a promotion with great fanfare after he goes back? The income of my generation from risking death is just to be a horse stone for these close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and those who spill blood on the battlefield are still stumbling on the subordinates, and those who escape from the battle are crowned marquis and worship the prime minister. ”
Ma Kuo said quietly.
"Your thinking is very bad, we are fighting out of courage and loyalty, as long as we can dedicate ourselves to the country, we are already very satisfied!"
Wang Yueyi said rhetorically.
Ma Kuo, who knew what kind of person he was, looked at him speechlessly, and then his expression changed to dumbfounded......
Wang Yue had an evil smile on his face.
The next moment, the axe in his hand flashed away, so fast that Ma Kuo thought he was dazzled.
But at the moment when the red axe, which he was extremely impressed by, disappeared, the iron chain in front of them that fixed the pontoon suddenly made a strange sound, and then the iron chain taut by the impact of the water, like a writhing python, broke off the fixed iron ox with a roar that broke through the air, and sank into the river in an instant with the stirred waves......
