"No, no, we will never agree to this. Regarding Baozhou, it is a matter between us, Daikin and Korea. It has nothing to do with your country at all. Moreover, we have already negotiated this matter.
We have even reached a preliminary agreement, and your country has no reason to intervene. This will only make the matter more complicated, so there is no need to discuss this matter."
When Wanyan Xilie heard that Li Qi asked the Jin Kingdom to recognize Song Gao's military alliance and admit that Baozhou should be used by Gao Li, he immediately shook his head and acted extremely excited. Obviously, he did not expect that the Song Dynasty would actually make this request and let him
Somewhat caught off guard.
When Goryeo added insult to injury, they took advantage of Wanyan Zongwang's defeat of the Yellow River and drove the Jurchen soldiers east of the Yalu River out of the Yalu River. The two countries also fought a naval battle. Because of the secret assistance of the Song Dynasty and Japan, the Jin army failed to retaliate. At that time, the entire
In order to avoid a fire in the backyard, Yan Zongwang adopted a delaying strategy. The matter of protecting the state has been put on hold until now. The purpose of the Jin Kingdom was to leave an excuse to attack Goryeo in the future, and once the military alliance between Goryeo and the Song Dynasty was recognized, then
It indirectly affirmed that Goryeo was a completely independent country. You must know that Dajin had always wanted to force Goryeo to surrender. This completely violated Dajin's strategic diplomacy, so Wanyan Xilie sternly refused and opposed it very resolutely.
Li Qi waited for him to finish quietly before saying: "General, we are allies, not employees, a relationship between monarch and minister, superior and subordinate, so everything must be fair. We have always maintained trade with Xixia, and the sale of weapons will
It will bring a lot of wealth to our country. Now it is a bit hard to ask us to give up these interests based on just one sentence from your country. And Goryeo has always been our military ally. They have sent envoys many times in the hope that we can come forward.
To mediate the conflict in Baozhou, it’s just that both of you are our allies, which makes us don’t know how to speak. And now we ask your country to recognize the ownership of Baozhou. This is just an exchange of interests, just like we lost the Xixia horses.
You sold horses to us instead of Xixia for the same reason. If you want us to sever ties with the Xixia court, you should compensate us instead of letting us bear the consequences of all this independently."
This is very straightforward, and this is the fact. In fact, there is no right or wrong in this matter. If you want to talk about the truth, even if the truth is great, it is not the reason for you to go to war with Xixia. Xixia has always behaved itself, and
I didn't offend you, but you have been bullying Xixia. It is more appropriate to talk about benefits. So if you make us lose such a big customer, we should compensate us for the loss. This is all in the books. It is not difficult to understand.
Wanyan Xilie said excitedly: "These are completely two different things."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Livestock and silk are two completely different goods. They are also two different things, but they can be exchanged for each other. Since they are allies, one cannot make sacrifices."
Wanyan Xilie said: "What if we don't agree?"
"Then I'm really sorry, we can't agree to your request."
Li Qi smiled slightly, but his tone was unquestionable, and he continued: "Actually, we are not supporting Xixia. We are just doing business with Xixia. It is not a violation of the covenant between our two countries. After all, it is not written in the covenant. No.
We are allowed to sell weapons to Xixia. Even if you want this, it should be done according to the process. We should negotiate first and then modify the covenant based on the results of the negotiations between the two parties, not just a word from you."
If this is done according to the formal procedures, you will have to wait until some time or month. Maybe you have already transported the military supplies to Xixia.
Wanyan Xilie glared at Li Qi and said, "Is your country ready to break up with us, Daikin?"
"No." Li Qi shook his head and asked curiously: "Is your country ready?"
"you----."
This was the first time Wanyan Xilie saw Li Qi. His understanding of Li Qi was limited to those rumors. Now he finally saw how powerful Li Qi was and understood why Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan hated this person so much.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Heshi Liebohe hurriedly stood up and smoothed things over, "Privy Envoy, please give us some time to discuss this matter."
"Of course, we are not in a hurry about this. You two will sit down for a while while I go to the hut first. Please excuse me."
Li Qi said he was not in a hurry, but the implication was that he only gave them time to get into the hut.
After Li Qi went out, Wanyan Xilie slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "This is really unreasonable."
He Shiliebo said: "General, please calm down. In fact, this is just a matter of your majesty's words. Anyway, Baozhou is also under the control of Goryeo. Why don't we do a favor? If we want to go back on our word and find someone to attack Goryeo,
The reason is not difficult.”
"I know that."
Wanyan Xilie said: "But if this is the case, how can we, Daijin, have any face to speak of? They in the Southern Dynasty clearly want to be on an equal footing with us."
But he didn't want to think about it. If the Song Dynasty agreed to him like this, how much more face would there be?
Aren’t we on equal footing now? Heshi Liebohe muttered to himself, and then advised: “But the current matter is more important. We must cut off Song Xia’s alliance, otherwise they will really join forces, which will cause great harm to the second prince.
threats."
Wanyan Xilie became silent after hearing this. After a while, he sighed and said, "Okay, let them be proud for a while. If Xixia is destroyed one day, I will not be able to spare this cook."
Heshi Liebohe had heard this sentence many times, and it came from different people. He also wondered how this Li Qi could make people hate him. At least Li Qi always spoke with a smile.
It can only be said that Li Qi was born with a sarcastic mouth.
Li Qi really just went to the hut, oh, washed his hands, and then returned to the meeting hall. He felt that there was no need to discuss this matter. Has it become so difficult for you, the Jin Kingdom, to speak a word?
"Privy Councilor, after our discussion, we can agree to your request."
The one who spoke was not Wanyan Xilie, but He Shiliebohe.
Li Qi smiled and nodded: "Although we, the Song Dynasty, did not gain any benefits from it, it showed me that our allies only show the most basic respect. I am really happy about this. However, I hope that your country will also do it as soon as possible.
Announce to the public that if necessary, we can provide you with a high-quality horse."
The implication of this is to urge you to fulfill your promise quickly.
This was too much to deceive others. Wanyan Xilie was very angry, and Heshi Liebohe was worried that he would get angry, so he rushed to the front and said, "Why is this?"
Li Qi exclaimed, "That's right, the Xixia envoy is still in the capital."
"....!"
Out of anger, Wanyan Xilie finally agreed. In fact, this meant nothing was lost for the Jin Kingdom, but in exchange, he also hoped that the Song Dynasty would declare to the outside world that the Song Dynasty would no longer have any trade relations with Xixia.
.
Li Qi also happily agreed.
The war was urgent, so Wanyan Xilie immediately rushed back with his fast horse to report to Wanyan Sheng. Of course, he refused Li Qi's kindness. He was joking. He was a wealthy man, so he would care less about the horses of the Song Dynasty. Even if they were used to plow the fields, he would be embarrassed.
.
Moreover, Qin Hui reached a secret agreement with Xixia. The Song Dynasty will not provide any assistance to Xixia for the time being, but will secretly transport grain and grass to Xixia at extremely low prices. The grain can be borrowed from private transactions and smuggled to Xixia, but weapons
If so, civilians cannot trade weapons.
This is enough. The Xixia war is due to lack of food and weapons. Anyway, I have bought a lot of them earlier. If I use them sparingly, it should be enough.
As a price, Xixia will exchange medicinal materials and their domestic advanced smelting technology. They don't have the money to buy so much food. The technology can be said to be priceless, or it can be said to be worthless. It's just a matter of words.
, it’s just a long-term advantageous capital, but if you can’t keep it now, how can you talk about the future?
.......
.......
On this morning, Li Qi, who had finally finished negotiating with the Kingdom of Jin, and his ladies went to the restaurant in the garden to have breakfast.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. You two are pregnant now. You can't sit on this cold stone bench. It will be bad if you catch a cold. Someone, go get two cushions."
"Husband, we are not so delicate."
"I know, but what I'm talking about is the baby in your belly. Please don't always be so sentimental, okay? I'm very embarrassed."
"...!"
An urge to resort to life-threatening soul-chasing kicks arose in Feng Yinu's heart.
Bai Qiannuo took Feng Yinu's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Feng, don't be familiar with this person. He just wants to make you angry."
Li Qi chuckled: "Just like you seize every opportunity to tease me."
Feng Yinu couldn't bear it anymore and stamped his feet: "I am a pregnant woman."
"Okay I'm sorry."
"Giggle!"
The girls burst into laughter.
"Husband, you have been busy for so long. You should have a good rest. You don't have to make breakfast for us yourself."
The well-behaved Ji Hongnu looked at Li Qi with a distressed face.
Li Qi lovingly held her in his arms, let her sit on his lap, and said with a smile: "Fool, cooking is actually a way for me to relax, and making breakfast for you is a gift from God to me.
A gift, otherwise I really can’t think of the point of learning to cook since I was a child?”
Feng Yinu smiled tenderly and said: "Husband, do you want to hear us say that actually being able to eat your breakfast is a blessing from God."
Li Qi nodded vigorously and said, "You, Yinu, still understand your husband."
"But I won't tell you."
"....!"
