"The Tang Dynasty angels are here!"

Amid the drums and music, Ji Changgong, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a purple robe of the third-rank civil servant in the Tang Dynasty, with five-section jade belts on his waist and a beam crown, raised his head and straightened his chest and entered Long'an Palace with vigorous steps.

"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Ji Changgong, has met the Supreme Supreme of Song and the Lord of Song." Ji Changgong stood proudly under the Danmu, holding the envoy's trumpet, and said with neither humility nor arrogant words.

Even the foreign ministers did not claim to be themselves, but instead added the word "Qinshi". Moreover, they called him "Zong Lord".

It is completely the attitude of the sect leader towards the vassal state.

The "Two Saints" were angry and secretly hated the rudeness of Tang, but they did not dare to turn against each other.

"Come here, I'll show you the seat to the envoy Tang." The Supreme Emperor could only pinch his nose and said.

Ji Changgong sat down and said straight to the point: "The Supreme Lord, Song, and the envoy Luo Shumi, invited the envoy to come to Anjing, saying that he wanted to negotiate peace. I wonder if the lord had agreed on this peace agreement?"

Chen Yizhong came out and said, "Mr. Ji, I am willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. Every year, I offer 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 500 kilograms of bird's nest, 500 ambergris, 100 kilograms of barbarian slaves, 100 eunuchs of eunuchs. I enter the court every year and face the saints... I am a country for the king and the ministers."

To be honest, I have paid a lot of tribute this year.

However, it is too far from Ji Changgong's request.

So, Tang Envoy's face suddenly sank.

"Master Song, Mr. Chen, you have no sincerity to discuss peace." Ji Changgong shook his head, "Zhao Song has negotiated peace with the north for more than once. Why don't he mention me, the Tang Dynasty? Is the Tang Dynasty easy to bully?"

Chen Yizhong had obviously been instructed by the emperor for a long time and insisted: "The Tang Dynasty came to the Heavenly Kingdom, and the Tang lord was a saint of the Han family, so he was naturally different from the barbarians. He was afraid that he would hurt the name of the saint emperor."

He didn't want to cede the land and wanted to get away with it.

The Tang envoy was angry and said with great strife, "How can I bully me? The Tang Dynasty launched an army to attack Song, conquered the unjust officials, and spread martial arts all over the world. Can it be bullied?! The country and the protection of the unguarded people are all in the mind of the emperor! You dare not be sincere and respectful, and you will inevitably lose your country!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, stood up and turned away.

The deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor Hattobu Maruzo looked at Ji Changgong angrily and shouted: "How dare Tang Ting bully people so much! Do you really think there is no one in the Song Dynasty? It is unknown who will win the battle to death!"

"You are bold!" Tang Envoy was furious and pointed at Hattori Maruzo, "The King of the Tang Dynasty will arrive immediately! If you don't escape at this moment, then when will you stay? And you should hurry up and enjoy it for a few more days! Otherwise, the days of the prisoners under the ranks would not be as rich as today!"

"The army did not go south to surround Anjing, which is already giving you face. That's because His Majesty, for the sake of the Chinese lineage, does not want you to be embarrassed in front of the barbarians. Otherwise, when Anjing is broken, what will happen to you? "

Such a harsh and stern expression made the Song ministers in the palace so scared that they were as quiet as a cicada. Even Hattori Maruzang didn't dare to say anything.

"Angel is calm." Prime Minister Chen Yizhong quickly stopped Ji Changgong and said with a smile: "Angel, please sit down, just sit down."

Ji Changgong then sat back with a shelf.

"Master Song, Grandpa Chen, the army will be sent out as soon as possible. The time for peace talks is fleeting, you must seize it. The Holy Emperor is satisfied, your country remains, and your wealth remains. If the Holy Emperor is not satisfied... If you wait for the monarch and ministers, your fate will be unpredictable in the future, I will not be able to say anything."

Zhao Chang took a deep breath and gave Chen Yizhong a wink.

Chen Yizhong immediately said with a bitter face: "To show sincerity, the country is willing to offer Luzhou to the Tang Dynasty."

Luzhou was the Philippines in later generations. Hai Song worked hard for several years, but he made wedding dresses for the Tang Dynasty.

Even if you are unwilling to accept it, so what? The form is better than that of others.

The reason why Luzhou was ceded was because Luzhou was the north and the distance was the farthest.

Unexpectedly, Ji Changgong shook his head directly: "Gold Chen is such a bad word. Luzhou has been occupied by our Tang Dynasty King's Army. It is a spoil. It belongs to the Tang Dynasty. How can you need your country to offer it?"

What?

The king and minister of Hai Song were both stunned.

What is this?

But Ji Changgong continued: "There are also Beizhou, which was also conquered by the Tang Dynasty and already belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, you can only choose among the remaining four states in the six major states."

"Of course, you can also raise an army to retake Luzhou and Beizhou. However, maybe you have not yet recaptured these two states, and Anjing has been lost!"

The king and ministers of Hai Song looked at each other, and they all seemed to be losing their parents. Even the remaining ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who were the most eloquent in their daily lives could not argue.

It is obvious that Li Tang was able to win the Song Dynasty. If the country was destroyed, it would either follow the words of Li Tang.

"Mr. Ji has been here for a long time, and the boat is exhausted. Should I rest in the inn for a while? What should I do next tomorrow? Let us discuss it?"

Zhao Chang held back his anger and said.

Ji Changgong knew it in his heart, stood up and smiled, "Then it will be possible to discuss it tomorrow. However, I will leave the next day. Whether peace can be reached is the end of the year."

At this moment, the king and minister of Hai Song sent the lords out of the palace and then sent them to the inn with respect.

As soon as Ji Changgong entered the inn, Wang Liangchen, the Minister of Rites of the Haisong Dynasty, came to "visit". Following this Minister Wang, there were two barbarian women wearing Han robes.

Of course, there is also a box.

"Angel." Wang Liangchen said with a smile, "It's really hard for the angels to go south. How could there be no woman around you? These sisters are from a barbarian clan, and they are still perfect, and they are talking about adding fragrance to the angel's red sleeves."

Ji Changgong looked up and found that although the two women had a slightly dark complexion and a short figure, they were different from those of the Central Plains women, their eyes were dark and bright, and their figures were exquisite, and they were also considered eye-catching beauties.

It seems that he is not an ordinary barbarian woman.

"Then I thank Shangshu Wang." Who is Ji Changgong? How could he refuse?

The laws of the Tang Dynasty did prohibit bribery, but it was different abroad. As long as you receive gifts abroad and do not do anything, you will be fine.

Of course, things received abroad must be filed with the Censorate and cannot be concealed. However, you cannot accept gifts in the country, otherwise you will also accept bribes. It doesn’t matter if Hai Song is not a ban on the country.

Wang Liangchen smiled and ordered the two women to go down and take a shower. He opened the box with his own hands, and suddenly he was jewel-like.

Gold, beautiful jade, silver.

The value is at least tens of thousands of taels.

"This is a mere gift from the officials to give angels, to repay the angels to work hard for the country." Wang Liangchen said very naturally.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites personally gave the gift, and he was really the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Ji Changgong nodded, "I will refuse it and thank the king of your country for me."

Wang Liangchen smiled and said, "In this way, the official will not disturb the angel's rest." After that, he withdrew with tactfully.

Ji Changgong narrowed his eyes and looked at the box of gold, silver and jewelry, his eyes full of sneer.

After a moment, two barbarian women who had finished bathing also came in sweetly and said in awkward Chinese words: "I have seen an angel."

After saying that, he stood there shyly.

It seems that he really can't serve others, he should be a young man.

"Hahaha." Ji Changgong laughed and patted his shoulders, "Come on, squeeze my shoulders and pound my legs..."

"No." The two barbarian women agreed rudely in Chinese language, then went forward and pinched their legs, pressed their shoulders...

It was not until the lantern was on, that Wang Liangchen, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Haisong, came to the inn again with hope.

Wang Liangchen first asked the minor official in the inn, "Are the envoys in Tang happy?"

"Happy." The little official smiled ambiguously.

Wang Liangchen nodded with confidence and then went to see Ji Changgong. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the house, he saw the two women, probably because they had been unpacked.

"Angel, disturb me in the evening. Please don't blame the angel." Wang Liangchen bowed with a smile.

"Where are there." Ji Changgong waved his hand to order the two women to retreat, and said as if nothing had happened: "Is there something important to the Shangshu official here?"

Wang Liangchen said carefully: "Angel, it is not easy for the Xia Kingdom to gain a foothold in Nanyang, and it is not easy for the country to be built again. Now, even if the Xia Kingdom is dedicated to the territory of the Xia Kingdom, the two countries will be a country of kings and ministers. The Xia Kingdom is willing to be a country for generations..."

"Okay, the official of Shangshu." Ji Changgong's smile immediately became cold and interrupted the other party, "You must give up Luozhou or Jinzhou again, you can only leave three major states."

Wang Liangchen's heart sank and said with a forced smile: "The angel official is joking. There are only six major states in the country, and there are only three left at once. This, this..."

"What?" Ji Changgong narrowed his eyes, and his two cold eyes as scared as a knife, making Wang Liangchen feel thrilled, "Three major states have already large territory. Don't be greedy."

After he said that, he lowered his voice, gritted his teeth, and his murderous words blew like a cold wind, "Otherwise, there would be no one. He would... body-death-country-destroy!"

Wang Liangchen stared at the firelight in the lamp, his mind was in a daze.

Something that bitch is raised.

I took the gold and silver from the Song Dynasty and enjoyed the beauty I gave it away, but I just thought it was nothing but a good person, without any intention of being able to be harmonious.

This is a jackal.

"I know, you scold me in your heart. But I am sincerely doing your good." Ji Changgong smiled, "You only have this little capital, but you have to look at such a big family and control so many barbarians, can you take care of it?"

He stood up and patted Wang Liangchen on the shoulder, "I can't take care of it!"

"Your Majesty is afraid that you can't suppress the barbarians, and that the Han laws of the past few years will be abandoned. This gives you a way out. You only have three states left. It seems that the territory has been greatly reduced, but the military strength has also shrunk. It is even more difficult for the barbarians to rebel. Isn't it stronger than those who can't chew more and do not chew up the six major states?

"Your Majesty has left you three great states and let you keep the country. It is a great kindness for heaven and earth. Don't anger Your Majesty and end up with a destruction of the country. Do you understand? Alas, I am a kind person. Forget it, I am a kind person. I am a man and righteous person. If you listen or not, your monarch and minister will do whatever you want."

When Ji Changgong left Luoyang, Li Luo had already explained to him: only three major provinces were left for Hai Song.

The destruction of Haisong is not good for the Tang Dynasty, and retaining Haisong is more beneficial for the Tang Dynasty. Haisong needs to be greatly weakened, but it cannot be too weakened. Leaving three states and a territory of more than 700,000 square kilometers is enough.

You should know that although the entire Nanyang Archipelago is far behind the Central Plains, it is a densely populated place. Even the Nanyang Archipelago at this time is estimated to have a population of 20 million.

What is the concept of 20 million indigenous people?

If there are fewer troops, it will not be suppressed at all. Sooner or later, it will strive for "independence". The Nanyang Islands are far away from the Tang Dynasty, and are beyond reach, and the governance costs are very high. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty needs to have a Chinese fiefdom in Nanyang for a long time.

If Hai Song was destroyed, the Tang army would not talk about the losses. At least the Tang Dynasty would have to re-arrange it, and then station heavy troops in Southeast Asia for a long time to maintain high military pressure.

Therefore, the best way is to weaken Hai Song. Hai Song, as a chess piece, nailed it to the South China Sea. Let Hai Song serve as a sword to assist the Tang Dynasty in governing the South China Sea and the Indochina Peninsula.

At the same time, it also increased Zhu Xia's overall strength.

If the Tang Dynasty in later generations becomes corrupt and decline, will there be any corrupt Xia Kingdom that can take over the torch and continue to lead China forward?

How can the king and minister of Hai Song know about Li Luo's plan for thousands of years and his hard work to plan for a lifetime?

Wang Liangchen took a deep breath, "If there are only three major states left in the country, then can the Tang Dynasty help?"

This is in desperation, and it is a benefit.

Ji Changgong smiled and said, "What are you missing the most right now?"

"Crown!" Wang Liangchen blurted out, "Han people!"

Ji Changgong said: "As long as you are sensible, there are tens of thousands of Chinese people, which is the word of the Holy Emperor. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty suppressed the rich clans and captured the Han army. There are so many people. I would rather give some to you as a foundation."

Wang Liangchen finally received comfort, "If there are tens of thousands of Han people, even if there are only three states in the country, I will be grateful to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Okay." Ji Changgong was too lazy to say anything, "What I mean is the Tang Dynasty. When you go back, tell the Song Lord that you will either pay the Golden State (Sumatra) or pay the Luo State (Borneo). If you don't reply the next day, you will return to the north and return to your country. You only have this chance."

Wang Liangchen smiled bitterly and said, "The angel is resting earlier, so I will report back to the official family."

Wang Liangchen said goodbye and left, and headed straight for the palace.

At this time, the monarch and ministers did not rest, and were waiting for Wang Liangchen to come back.

"Reported to the officials, the Tang envoy insisted that Jinzhou or Luozhou must be ceded again. Only the Song Dynasty is allowed to maintain three major states..."

Wang Liangchen told the situation one by one, and the angry king and ministers of Song were all angry.

He actually took away three major states in one go!

How can I bear it!

However, if they did not agree, wouldn’t the Tang army know how to rob it? By then, even a big state would not be able to keep it.

The Emperor patted his thigh, "Forget it, Li Tang may have agreed to send tens of thousands of people. At this moment, we still need to successfully negotiate peace. What does the official mean?"

Zhao Chang also sighed, "What else can I do? What I mean is to be more Han guys, want men and not women, and then choose some well-looking barbarian women to be wives. The national population of the Song Dynasty is too small, and it is not a long-term solution."

Chen Yizhong said: "Then, should Jinzhou or Luozhou be cedeed?"

Zhao Chang thought for a while: "It's better to Luozhou. What does the Supreme Emperor mean?"

Zhao Liangqin also nodded: "What I mean is to ced Luozhou. Alas, Tang is strong and Song is weak, so that's the only way. Finally, I can protect the ancestral temple and the country."

Why ceded Luozhou?

Because although Luozhou (740,000 square meters) is much larger than Jinzhou (440,000 square meters), Luozhou has a much smaller population than Jinzhou, and the capital Anjing is also in Jinzhou.

Therefore, the "Two Saints" would rather ced Luozhou than Jinzhou.

The king and minister of Hai Song discussed painfully in the middle of the night before finally coming up with a plan that satisfies the Tang Dynasty.

The next day, the Tang envoy Ji Changgong was invited to the palace.

After two or three hours of discussion, the peace agreement was finally released in the afternoon.

First, the Tang Dynasty used the three major states of China, South China Jinzhou, Hengzhou (Jabad), and Huangzhou (Sulawesi), as well as the affiliated islands. The feudal Song State was the country of duke. The Zhao family was the king of Song. The Song lord left the emperor's title and took the throne.

Second, the State of Song was granted the title of the princes of the Tang Dynasty and was a country of Xia, respecting the emperor as the master, and always being a monarch and minister. The King of Song ascended the throne and was crowned by the Emperor of Tang. The State of Song was granted the crown prince, and it must be approved by the Tang court.

Third, the Song State pays tribute to gold, silver, spices, and specialties every year. When the emperor ascends the throne, his birthday, his death, and other state affairs, the Song State must abide by the etiquette of his ministers.

Fourth, the State of Song was responsible for sending troops to assist the king's army in assisting the suppression.

Fifth, the Song State adopted the reign of Emperor Emperor, and from today, the reign of Emperor Hongwu is the fourth year of Hongwu.

Sixth, if the State of Song Dynasty signs a contract or declares war on the outside, the court and the emperor must allow it.

Seventh, the Song State has its own system and governs its country by itself, and the emperor will not interfere. However, if it educates and transforms major policies, it must implement Han laws, Chinese characters, and customs, strictly observe the great defense of China and the barbarians, and never change it. Violators will open up the Huaxia Alliance, cancel the qualifications of the Xia Dynasty, and attack them.

Eighth, the imperial court moved 50,000 young and strong men from the Central Plains to the State of Song; 5,000 monks from the Central Plains to the State of Song; 100 sets of Chinese classics were printed for the State of Song.

Ninth, the court used force to protect the Song State. The Song State was a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. If anyone dared to invade foreign enemies, he would be regarded as invading the court.

Ninth, if the monarch and ministers marry, the princess of the Tang Dynasty will marry, and the son of the Tang Dynasty will be the crown prince.

Tenth, the Song Dynasty adopted the simplified characters of the Tang Dynasty, which measure weights and measures.

………

There are eighteen clauses in total, which are very detailed. Since the agreement was signed in Anjing, it was also called "Anjing Alliance" in later generations.

The "Anjing Alliance" legally stipulates the relationship between the monarch and the Tang Dynasty and explains the alliance between the Xia Dynasty. As long as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty uses seals and the alliance officially takes effect, the Song Dynasty will become another vassal state in the Tang Dynasty!

The later generations of Malay, the Philippines, Borneo, the Strait of Malacca, and the affiliated islands also became owners of the Tang Dynasty.
