Chapter 1694: Pusanzhuo decided to negotiate peace between the two countries
And Shen Tang's purpose is also very clear. First, since he has taken back Kaifeng Mansion, he must have a certain ability to protect himself. He can't give it to you from the Kingdom of Jin today and turn his back and refuse to give it to you tomorrow. Just drive the cavalry over and take it over?
Therefore, the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River in the north of Kaifeng Prefecture must be obtained, and Zhengzhou, Junzhou, Xuzhou, Chenzhou, Suizhou, and Caoxian Dongming around Kaifeng Prefecture can be added with a layer of protective cover.
Secondly, I don’t need your strategic locations, but I want to expand my own strategic depth and add a layer of barrier to the entire south.
Before that, the defense of this generation was based on Xiangyang City, supplemented by the Guanghua Army, Zaoyang Army, Xinyang Army, and Anfeng Army, forming a huge defense system. Now, I will divide this generation north of the Huaihe River. With the state capital back, we can garrison troops north of the Huaihe River, which naturally adds a layer of defense and adds hundreds of miles of strategic depth from north to south!
In this way, even if the Jin soldiers wanted to go south from this generation, they would not be able to directly attack Xiangyang City.
Therefore, the conditions put forward by Shen Tang are simply a squeeze on the waist of Pu Sanzhuo and others! If it were less, I am afraid they would directly agree. If it were more, they would directly reject it. But now it is neither better nor lower. …
A group of Jin envoys watched for half an hour, and finally Pusanzhuo said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I can temporarily give this geological map to you. We will discuss it carefully when we go back!"
This time, it was hard for them to decide.
Zhao Shen was obviously satisfied with this result and waved his hand indifferently, "You can take it, no problem!"
In this way, Pusanzhuo and his party left the palace with tangled expressions.
"Hahaha..." Pu Sanzhuo and others had just left, Liu Gong couldn't help but raised his head and laughed, "If you want to say it, it must be Zhongwuhou. I really admire you. One condition can be decided directly by the Jin people. I’m not sure, I’m ashamed of myself! Moreover, if we can comply with Marquis Zhongwu’s conditions, although we won’t get the entire Nanjing Road back, we can still accept it.”
Zhao Shen also nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, let's wait for the golden man's feedback."
Pusanzhuo and his party returned to the inn, looked at each other for a long time, and one of them asked, "Sir, should we agree to this condition or not?"
"Sir, why don't you go back quickly and report to your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide?"
Pusanzhuo waved his hand, then closed his eyes and started thinking!
After half an hour, Pusanzhuo suddenly opened his eyes, and then said to everyone, "Why do you think His Majesty sent us here?"
"Sir, didn't your Majesty make it clear?
It is to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, so that we can have the right to deal with Xia Liao's troops!"
Pusanzhuo sighed, "Yes, it's for peace! We are civil servants, and we only have a slight understanding of the situation at the border, but we cannot empathize with it.
But think about it, this is the first time that our Kingdom of Jin has taken the initiative to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, which is enough to show the crisis of the current situation and your Majesty's eagerness. Otherwise, how could your Majesty give up the Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Kaifeng is just an ordinary state capital for the Jin Kingdom. It is prosperous at best, but its meaning to the Song Dynasty is different."
"From a certain point of view, giving up the Kaifeng Mansion has proved His Majesty's intentions!"
"Now the conditions mentioned by the Song Dynasty are several states different from what Your Majesty said before, and the geographical difference is almost half or more, but Shen Tang is also smart and does not involve our country's bottom line! This is what we have difficulty in deciding. reason."
"Then even if we go back and inform His Majesty of the matter and let Him make a decision, does Your Majesty really have too many choices?
In other words, His Majesty will let us go to a few unimportant state capitals and let us come here in vain?
Moreover, this matter is not serious at all. If we all go back to ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter, will we leave an impression of incompetence in His Majesty's mind?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
One person asked carefully.
Pusanzhuo sighed again, "The sooner we can reach an agreement here, the sooner the people in the border areas will be freed.
Moreover, countless sons and daughters are dying every day now, even if we send people back to Zhongdu, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth!"
"Although the time given by His Majesty is enough, how many men died in the battle in more than half a month?"
"Therefore, I have decided to agree to the terms of the Song Dynasty! However, we cannot completely follow what the Song Dynasty said!"
"After signing the peace agreement, we will quickly send it back to the Song Dynasty for His Majesty to seal it and then return it to the Song Dynasty! However, on the day the peace agreement is returned, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will go to war with the soldiers and horses of Xia Liao! Shen Tang's combat power, you We all know that, so it is not impossible for the Song Dynasty to want to acquire more state capitals, but it will also have to pay a price."
"And our condition is that Shen Tang brings at least 50,000 elite troops from his direct lineage to us, and the Lintao Mansion occupied by the Song Dynasty must be returned to us."
The group discussed for a while, and then everyone agreed with Pusanzhuo's words.
"Tomorrow, we will enter the palace again and sign a peace agreement with the Song Dynasty!"
Finally, Pusanzhuo made the final decision!
Early the next morning, Pusanzhuo asked the officials at the post station to send a message and wanted to meet the saint! Zhao Shen did not shirk, and summoned him immediately after the meeting.
Pu Sanzhuo also put forward his own suggestions again. After Zhao Shen discussed with the ministers, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
According to Shen Tang's opinion, all the state capital areas designated by Shen Tang were returned to the Song Dynasty within three months. Moreover, during these three months, the troops and officials in the corresponding state capitals gradually withdrew. , People in the various states, except for the Jurchen clan, are not allowed to be forcibly relocated by the Jin Kingdom. Similarly, the Jin Kingdom is not allowed to use other means to destroy various places!
At the same time, the Song Dynasty will arrange troops and horses, and corresponding officials will gradually be stationed in various state capitals, and the handover will eventually be completed.
In return, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom signed a peace agreement. Both parties were not allowed to attack for any reason within three years. Moreover, when the peace agreement arrived in Lin'an, the Song Dynasty court should report it to Shen Tang on Lintao Road within half a month. know.
Then, Shen Tang's soldiers and horses joined forces with his disciple Shan Kening to defeat Zhang Hua's Xia Liao soldiers and horses.
Subsequently, Shen Tang needed to return the land of Lintao Prefecture to the Jin Kingdom, and Shen Tang needed to lead no less than 20,000 troops northward to assist the Jin Kingdom's troops in fighting Xia, Liao and Mongolia until the war was completely completed.
For such a result, the Jin Kingdom could barely accept it, and it seemed that the Song Dynasty suffered a little bit. After all, the state capital that was taken back was far inferior to the Lintao Road that had been given away. But in a sense, both the royal family and the imperial court of the Song Dynasty were obviously Extremely satisfied.
