Li Qi's tone was very tough when he came up, changing his previous smooth style. This was obviously his intention to do this, and he wanted to use this to set the next tone for this negotiation.
In the past, the Song Dynasty was very weak whether negotiating with the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom. This made the other party accustomed to the Song Dynasty's weakness. Of course, at that time, there was no hard power to support it, and they couldn't be tough even if they wanted to.
, But it’s different now. The Song Dynasty did not lose this war. Although it can’t be said to win, in short, it still suffered a loss. But the problem is that the Jin Kingdom has no way to defeat the Song Dynasty now. Apart from force, they have no choice at all.
The Song Dynasty can be threatened anywhere, but the Song Dynasty has many aspects that can contain the Jin Kingdom.
Of course, Li Qi would not keep these Jurchens. If he had not expected that they would be used politically, he would have killed them all to avoid future troubles. However, most of the prisoners were Khitans and Hans, and they surrendered voluntarily at that time.
, Li Qi will definitely not return them to the Kingdom of Jin.
Seeing Li Qi's resolute attitude, Wanyan Zong knew that it was almost impossible to get them all back, so he nodded and said: "Okay then, you send Yan Mu, Shu Lieshu and the others, and I will send King Kang to you."
.”
Li Qi shook his head.
Wanyan Xiyin frowned and said, "What? Do you want to regret it again?"
"I'm not like you. I never regret what I say." Li Qi smiled and said, "I just said that I could return them to you, but I didn't mean to give them to you for free. It's still the same sentence.
, it depends on your sincerity."
Could it be that he wanted to use this opportunity to return to Yunzhou? That would be too delusional. Wanyan Zongwang said coldly: "Then I don't know what the economic envoy wants?"
Li Qi gestured towards Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing immediately walked up, took out two lists from his arms, and handed them to Wanyan Zongwang.
When Wanyan Zongwang took a look at the results, he found that the first list was that of Shu Liesu and other prisoners. However, he was a little confused about this one and said, "I wonder what the economic leader means?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "The second prince has been on the battlefield for decades, so he can't even understand such a basic truth. Everyone has relatives, and their soldiers have surrendered to our Song Dynasty. Why don't you act like adults and send their relatives to us?"
Give it to us as well.”
Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help it. Since the Jurchen tribe was unified, he was the only one who asked others for money. No one had ever asked them for money. He said coldly: "You are going too far."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Sorry, I'm learning from you. Besides, I'm doing this for the sake of the second prince. It is said that General Shushu---."
"This is General Shu Liesu." Liu Yanzong said bitterly.
"Oh ---, sluts, sluts, generals like Shu Liesu, all of them are one against a thousand. And they have made great contributions to your Jin Kingdom. If you replace them with an ordinary citizen, it would be really bullying.
Oh, it hurts the worth of these generals. I originally wanted to exchange one for a thousand strong men, but after thinking about it, I just did it to show our sincerity. Many of the people on the list above are
Old Confucians, women and children, it’s useless for you to hold them. Of course, if you refuse, it doesn’t matter, we can still continue talking. Talents like Shu Liesu are also what our Song Dynasty urgently needs.” Li Qi hehe.
smiled.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "They are all good men of my country, how could they surrender to your Southern Dynasty?"
Li Qi shrugged and said: "What you said makes sense. I really don't know whether they will surrender, but I know that they killed many people in my Song Dynasty. This is enough."
Wanyan Zongwang said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I have no intention of doing this. I only know how to pay back debts. It is a matter of course that if you don't have money to pay back, you can only pay with your life."
Wanyan Zonghan said: "If we don't agree."
"Then we can skip this topic and move on to the next step."
"Aren't you worried about your King Kang?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Worry sometimes can't solve anything. Prince Kang is the younger brother of our emperor, and he is also an upright man. Since he dares to go to your Jin camp, he has made all preparations, including sacrificing his life for the country.
, Of course, if anything happens to King Kang, I will let many people bury him with him, oh, I am not threatening you, this is the custom of our Han people."
This was the first time Wanyan Zonghan had dealt with Li Qi, and it was also the first time he had encountered such a tough Song Dynasty. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth with hatred, but the prisoners were all Wanyan Zongwang's favorite generals, so they couldn't say anything.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay. I promise you, but if my brother loses a hair, I will definitely make you pay a hundred times the price."
He knew very well that he was at a disadvantage when it came to exchanging hostages, because he had no hostages at all, except for the people who had moved from the Yanshan area, but he had to get back Shu Liesu and others, because these generals
For him, it was really important. Of course, he had already expected that Li Qi would use this to gain the upper hand in negotiations, but he did not expect that Li Qi would use this to ask for the relatives of those captives. This shows that Li Qi had already
It was planned, and this price was already very rare for him, but he just couldn't bear the loss of face.
Li Qi said seriously: "This is also what I want to say. Don't take advantage of the large number of people to fish in troubled waters and cut corners. Don't worry about it, everything may be missing."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I, Wanyan Zongwang, don't even bother to do those little tricks."
"Of course, I trust the Second Prince very much on this point. I'm just afraid that some small-minded people will interfere with it." While speaking, Li Qi glanced at Wanyan Zongbi.
Wanyan Zongbi said angrily: "You---what do you mean?"
Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Wanyan Zongbi slightly and said: "Fourth brother, calm down."
Wanyan Zongbi tilted his head in annoyance, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Wanyan Zongwang said to Li Qi again: "This matter has been settled. I hope you won't have any more setbacks. Otherwise, this negotiation will not have any credibility."
Li Qi smiled and nodded: "It's a deal."
Seeing that the prisoner exchange was finally settled, Wanyan Zonghan said, "Now we can talk about re-alliance."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course, that's the point." After saying that, he took a sip of tea and was not in a hurry to speak.
Wanyan Zonghan saw that he was silent, so he said: "About our dispatch of troops this time---."
"Wait a minute!"
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "I don't want to say more about the past, but this does not mean that we are guilty. What are the facts? Everyone knows in their hearts, what Yelu Yanxi, what Zhang Jue, this little deceiver It’s nothing more than a child. Saying it here will only lower everyone’s IQ. Besides, we are still the victims in the whole thing. Pay money, pay local compensation, and pay people. If you must talk about this matter, I estimate that in half an hour, you will You may think that they should compensate me, Da Song, a huge sum of money, but I know you won’t compensate me either, so let’s talk about the current matters.”
Wanyan Zonghan felt so depressed that he didn't even talk about the cause of the war. Then what else could he talk about.
Wanyan Xiyin felt that there was really nothing to discuss about this matter. We were all smart people, and talking about those scenes was of no use at all. Besides, when it comes to the rest, as Li Qi said, I'm afraid they all still I had to apologize and say a thousand words, but they were the ones who made the move first. So he smiled and said: "The economy makes sense, let's let all the past disputes go by, so as not to hurt the harmony. But no matter what, it's just right." It was the various misunderstandings in the past that led to the conflict between our two countries. Now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, why don't we follow the covenant signed in Yanshan Mansion and rebuild the old friendship as a brotherly country."
Master Zhong sneered secretly after hearing this. They all said that the Jurchens were straightforward, but now it seems that they are all cunning and cunning. The covenant at that time was signed out of desperation, so how can it be used now.
You guys don’t think of Li Qi as a businessman. Can I do this kind of business with huge losses? Li Qi smiled and shook his head and said: "You can’t say that. It was then, and now is now." , from the moment you sent troops, the so-called covenant has been abolished, oh, the covenant signed by the second prince, Zhang Bangchang and others cannot be counted at all. "
When Wanyan Zongwang heard this, his teeth were itching with hatred. He was defeated by that covenant in the first place. He said calmly: "Then I wonder if the economic envoy has any better suggestions?"
"I can't say it's better. I'm just speaking based on the facts." Li Qi said with a smile: "Since you declared war on me, the Song Dynasty, I don't think that covenant has any credibility. Of course, I'm not Saying that your country has no credibility, otherwise we would not be here, but you also know that our emperor has just taken office, and all policies will undergo earth-shaking changes. I think we should sign a new alliance."
Wanyan Xiyin frowned secretly. He did not believe that the new covenant mentioned by Li Qi would be more beneficial to them than the old covenant. But he smiled and said: "I am not opposed to the new covenant, but we can change the old covenant into a new covenant. We I don’t think there is anything wrong with this old covenant, and the original covenant was completed by our great ancestor and the Economic Envoy. Could it be that the Economic Envoy wants to overturn his previous decision.”
"It's not overthrowing, it's eliminating. The original covenant was very suitable at the time, but it doesn't mean it's suitable now." Li Qi's expression changed and he said seriously: "The so-called covenant, the key lies in the interests of both parties, and interests do not care about people. Land and money have been discussed before. What is left is land and money. Everyone sitting here is a smart person, so why don’t we open the sky and speak openly. I swear, this is the first time I have been so sincere in discussing interests with others. .”
Wanyan Zonghan said lightly: "I would like to hear your advice."
Li Qidao: "First of all, let's talk about land. As for land, the conflict between us is nothing more than the Yanyun area. I tell you honestly that every inch of land we occupy now will not be compromised at all. Of course, I also know
, I will not give in to every inch of land you occupy, and I have no plans to come back. After all, I spent so much money and did not buy it back. I just regarded it as a good dream and bought a lesson. In this case,
As for the land, that's it. As for the annual tribute that you have always cared about, I'm sorry, but I have no obligation to give you any annual tribute now, not even a penny."
