As Wu's "loyal minister", County Magistrate Li held high the banner of free trade and took a stern stance in line with Wu's spirit of being the leader of the free world, repeatedly emphasizing Wu's maintenance and respect for free trade and free trade.
He also stated that international trade must be fair, just and open, and must not engage in local protectionism, let alone arbitrarily make trade more difficult.
Regarding the stance of the King Jiangyin of the Great Wu State, the officials and generals of various countries have expressed their appreciation and affirmed the Great Wu State's efforts in international and regional stability and the healthy development of international trade.
Wu and Song have signed a bilateral free trade agreement, and under the framework of the "Justice Alliance", all members of the "Justice Alliance" have the same commercial activities and treatment as Wu in the country where they are located.
Doctors and generals from various countries continued to express their appreciation and asked the macho man what kind of stunning beauty he liked. Just mention it and he would definitely help find her.
"This Dai Ju... is not simple. It is not simple!"
The second negotiation was intense, but also very efficient. Dai Ju rejected the unreasonable demands without even thinking about it, but as long as he could tolerate the slightly unreasonable demands, Dai Ju agreed to them and boldly signed them.
.
The two parties only reached an agreement on some minor details. They used twenty or thirty pieces of white silk, made in triplicate, and stamped it. Dai Ju gritted his teeth and looked ferocious, but he still sealed it.
This is what County Magistrate Li admires.
It is quite extraordinary for such a person to be able to endure such humiliation.
If the Song Dynasty can really cheer up, this kind of person will definitely inspire the next generation of Song people to have all their revenge.
Grow in humiliation, develop in humiliation, and advance in humiliation.
To swim three hundred miles straight down the current is not a skill. To stagger fifty steps against the current is still strong.
"Prime Minister, Dai Ju is going to be ambushed and killed?!"
As a senior bureaucrat from a neighboring country, Yang Ju was really afraid of Dai Ju. The most prominent figure in the Song Dynasty in the world now was Dai Ju, and this guy not only persisted on the battlefield, but also dared to cut off the enemy to survive.
The most courageous person in the Song Dynasty should be him.
And such a courageous person actually accepted so many humiliating conditions. Who would think that Song Dynasty's "Jin Cao" gave in at the negotiation table? You know, he was always on the battlefield.
There was no surrender.
Because of this idea, generals and officials from all over the world respected and feared Dai Ju. Especially those small countries were most worried about whether Dai Ju would really take charge of the political affairs of the Song Dynasty after returning home.
By that time, the Song State will work hard to make a comeback. Among the small countries in the "Justice League" today, who can guarantee that they will not be beaten by the Song State?
The strong man of the Wu Kingdom did not have friendship with everyone. He came to "resist the Song Dynasty and aid Fu". That was because the king of the Kingdom of Wu, the King of the Yang Kingdom, Biyangzi Yubao, was Li Jie's friend.
"It would be a pity to kill."
Li Jie looked at Yang Ju and knew that he was worried about the future of Biyang State. If the time for Biyang State to be merged with Wu State was prolonged and Song State attacked Biyang State for the third time, who knows what would happen.
"Doctor Yang, don't worry. Even if Dai Ju has to endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity, it will still take several years."
He raised his hand and patted Yang Ju on the shoulder, "As long as the Kingdom of Wu is not destroyed, the people of Fu can live and work in peace and contentment."
The reason is that simple. The entire Biyang Kingdom has completely moved towards the Wu Kingdom, and there is no chance of being a loser at all. What's more, what the entire Biyang Kingdom is working on is whether to move away from this ghost place after being merged into the Wu Kingdom.
, even if you can't go south, you still have to find a place to stay near the Huai River.
It is too close to the Central Plains, and there are many dangers. It is possible to do business. If you want to live and work in peace and contentment, Wu State must at least kill Song and Lu, and then build a large number of fortifications near the Yellow River in Jishui to resist Qi State. Only then can Wu State live and work in peace and contentment.
Otherwise, it is just wishful thinking.
When you look up and look around, you will see newly opened fields everywhere you look. Water has begun to drain into the ditches. These ditches will gradually function as irrigation.
Just these fields can produce an astonishing amount of food, but this food is not unique to Biyang Kingdom.
Yang Ju's heart is complicated, and the "national power" of the forced Yang country has really reached its peak at this moment.
Biyangzi Yubao was also the most influential king of Biyang Kingdom in the past dynasties.
The Xue Kingdom in the north had its territory last year and was subjugated this year. Although a large area of land has become spoils of war, it is hard to say how it will be distributed.
However, Biyang Kingdom is the closest, so no matter how small the share is, the people who are closer to the water are the first to get the moon, and they can always get a lot of benefits from it.
Even if you turn savages into Chinese people and have a large area of land, this cost can be passed on.
Furthermore, Biyang Kingdom already has a fairly mature farm operation model in Jiangyin County. Although the people in Biyang Kingdom don't understand it, the people in Jiangyin County understand that after gathering the members, they can just wait and wait for their share.
It's a very vague concept, but there is always some output, and this output is enough to support the expansion of Bi Yangguo's business.
If it were any other country, they would have had other thoughts in their minds a long time ago, but the kings and ministers of the Biyang Kingdom are quite capable and know very well that all this has nothing to do with them.
Even the land ceded by Xue State last year was mainly used to supplement the garrison, and then turned over to the national treasury, which was then distributed to the nobles and officials in the form of "lumi" by Bi Yangzi.
I don’t know whether the ruled classes have enjoyed the benefits of the victorious country, but the “carnivores” will definitely have a carnival of carve-up.
At this moment, before carving up the feast, he can still be vigilant about the future. It is already rare to force Yang Ju, the official of the Yang Kingdom.
In Yang Ju's eyes, Dai Ju is quite dangerous.
However, the person who makes the decision is not Li Jie, the Yinzi of Wu Guojiang, but Yubao, the Yangzi, so even if Yangju has any thoughts in his heart, he must let them go.
Furthermore, if "Song Guo Jin Cao" was assassinated, no matter how you look at it, it would only be people from the "Justice League" who would do it.
"Prime Minister, let's stop fighting now. Although the two sides are talking about peace, I'm afraid there will be a third forced-yang battle."
Yang Ju's worries are very reasonable. The people of Song Dynasty have given in. And they have to give in. They have completely failed. On the international political stage, they are even more embarrassed. The only one who can make a difference is Dai Ju, the "leader".
Loyal minister".
But "bringing loyal ministers" cannot be realized. Everyone still has to live and eat.
Time can wash away everything. The fatigue and fear at this moment will disappear. After settling, in a few years or even months, those people in the Song Dynasty who did not participate in the war will clamor for revenge.
Those widows whose men have died, as long as they have any love for husband and wife, will wish for all the Fu people to die, and force the country of Yang to turn into a sea of scorched earth and fire.
"Next time we fight, it won't be a simple game between Song people and Fu people."
When County Magistrate Li was working as a foreman, he saw too many competitors in the industry. Today, when they compete with each other, the livelihoods of tens or hundreds of thousands of people will be affected at every turn. But in the blink of an eye, an acquisition case comes.
Maybe there will be another news item in the news about how many jobs will be created.
Compared with what Foreman Li has seen and heard, the current conflicts among various countries are actually quite childish, although they are much more bloody.
"Xiang Guo means..."
"The Song people have retreated, and the rebel army should also disperse."
County Magistrate Li smiled slightly, and his smile was a little meaningful. Yang Ju was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he realized what he was doing. Without a common enemy, forced Yang Guo was not only able to survive, but also made a lot of money. After this, the quarrel will definitely start.
There are more than 20 countries and organizations, large and small, who have contributed and who have not. This all needs to be accounted for.
There is no common enemy, and we are not here for ideals, so why shouldn’t dog bite dog?
When Yang Ju, the senior official of the Central Military Commission, thought back, he felt that the Prime Minister had foresight and reorganized the multinational forces very early. Now for most of the troops, even if the other countries want to withdraw them, if you draw them well, if someone Li stops them, you will lose.
Because those who were willing to immigrate to Wu with Li Jie signed an immigration agreement early in the war.
As for the large number of civilians, many of them are determined to follow County Magistrate Li. There is no way, Magistrate Li only has work in his hands. If you do work, you will eat. This is no better than going home and serving.
Already?
Occasionally, I can eat two pieces of "meat", although this "meat" is vegetarian.
However, the braised flavor is deep, isn’t it fragrant?
"In this case, the Prime Minister must make plans in advance."
"Don't worry, the peace talks don't end with the signing of the contract. They will have to drag on for at least a month or two. After all, the Song Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops are still stationed in Hexi. If they don't withdraw first, how can we dare to withdraw? If something like this happens again,
Taking over the territory of Xue State is particularly important. Who among the countries is willing to follow us and who is not willing depends on this land of Xue State."
Yang Ju was thoughtful, thought about Li Jie's words, and suddenly understood. If we simply let the countries who came to cheer us up take sides, and their butt determines their head, most countries may have to go home and leave after taking advantage of the situation.
But having land is different. As long as Li Jie proposes an idea, for example, everyone can share the land output of Xue State. Then some countries with awkward geographical locations have to think about whether to bite the bullet and just
Fooled around with County Magistrate Li.
Typical examples are those countries that have existed in name only, as well as small countries with incomplete sovereignty. Many of the national powers of these countries have been controlled by regional hegemons or regional powers, leaving only representatives of political entities. Nobles who are close to the monarch are equal to
It is said that the down-and-out nobles want to regroup and have no choice but to change places.
As for Xue State, now that the entire nation has been wiped out, the Xue people are likely to be moved out of Xuedi by Li Jie. It is unknown whether the entire region will become a forward base to defend the northern border of Wu State, but it is highly likely that this is the direction of development.
.
So for many down-and-out nobles, going to the Kingdom of Wu to change their appearance is quite promising.
It is easy to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back, not to mention that it is a southeastern overlord like Wu State. With the overlord's support, I don't say it will be completely fine for the family to get back on its feet, but it will be much easier.
A typical example is that after the Yan Kingdom, after so many times of destruction, the Yun Yan family was still able to survive and flourish, and the Yinxiang Shang family emerged as a "new noble" who was rising rapidly.
With the Yunyan clan as a sample case, there is no need for Li Jie to specifically convince those hesitant local aristocratic families, they will be moved on their own.
Otherwise, staying in one's own "motherland" will be nothing more than being further digested by the forces of major powers, becoming a tool in the regional power system, and may even be reduced to a storage battery for providing knowledge.
Most of the down-and-out nobles in the world end up badly. They are all visible even if they are not blind.
After returning to Sishui Hexi with a bunch of contracts, Dai Ju almost collapsed. He didn't know how he managed to hold on.
It was just a matter of ceding territory and paying compensation. The few vassal states of the Song State were also betrayed.
Although the true inner thought is that it doesn't matter, no matter how much the small country kneels down and licks it, it has no choice but to sell its life. But operating it yourself is another matter, and it feels quite deep.
"Gentleman, can you still hold on?"
"No problem!"
Seeing Dai Ju, who was teetering on the verge of falling, the Dai family's disciples immediately stepped forward to support him.
However, Dai Ju waved his hand and broke away from his relatives. His eyes were firm and he said solemnly: "Today's humiliation, gentlemen... please bear it in your heart!"
"Lord!"
The eyes on both sides were blood red and filled with tears. It was only through persistence that the tears did not fall.
Facing Li Jie, they were humiliated to the extreme and humbled to the extreme.
Not only did Li Jie push for the next step, he did not pay attention to the Song Dynasty at all. Even though Dai Ju was a "loyal minister" who had been planning a "great cause", Dai's surname was also after Zi, and he was also from the Song Dynasty!
"Jiangyin Li Jie... very human! Very human!"
Repeating this sentence again and again, Dai Ju truly felt what "diplomatic relations" meant in international diplomacy this time!
He heard with his own ears how Li Jie taught the crocodile man and the brave man.
What is diplomatic relations?! Strength is diplomatic relations!
So what if you are a big country? You are not a powerful country! If a powerful country is not hanged up, you can only admit it. If you don't, you will continue to fight. If you don't admit it, you will be beaten to death!
"You guys help me achieve great things, and I will repay today's humiliation someday!"
The sonorous and powerful voice inspired the Dai family's children.
Nowadays, the Dai family has suffered huge losses. In order to compensate the Dai family, there is a tacit understanding within the Song Dynasty and it has given great convenience to the Dai family's children to join politics and the army.
But even so, there are not even five great officials. The biggest one is Dai Ju, the "envoy". Zilu Fei promised that after Dai Ju comes back, he will set up a "prime minister" or "prime minister", but the promise is one thing.
Fulfillment is another matter.
Dai Ju had to consider the consequences of having nothing, so during the negotiation with Li Jie, there was an inconspicuous but important request, and he agreed.
Li Jie made a request to wear Ji Zi's head, but Dai Ju refused at first because Dai was a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.
But Li Jie was very determined and wanted Dai Jizi to die. The reason was very simple, just to vent his anger, and it was private anger.
If the Song Dynasty does not agree, then the fight will continue.
Originally, everyone in the "Justice League" planned to quickly divide the fruits of victory after the war, but when they heard that County Magistrate Li wanted to drag out the war just because of a second-in-command, Dai Jizi, how could that be allowed?
But County Magistrate Li's reasons are very good. Can't he vent his anger? The princes of all countries think it is very reliable. Venting their anger is an important reason for launching a war.
What's more, Dai Jizi offended Li Jie, which was known to the whole world, and triggered the story of "The Strong Man".
Therefore, the officials and generals of other countries had no intention of persuading Li Jie. Who knew whether a barbarian leader who wanted to vent his anger would spit the fire of anger in their faces if he was suddenly persuaded not to vent his anger.
With this in mind, envoys from various countries contacted Dai Ju privately, and some even went directly to the Allied Army Camp of the Song Dynasty to meet with the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
Then he told Zi Lu Fei that the general Li Jie wanted Dai Ji Zi to die, but the "envoy" Dai Ju refused on the grounds that Dai Ji was an ally and could not interfere without authorization.
So here’s the question, as long as we make Dai a non-ally of Song, wouldn’t we get the best of both worlds?
Zilu Fei was confused at the time, what kind of logic is this?
However, the elites of the Song Dynasty were not stupid, so they asked directly: "The general plan is out."
Then the messenger naturally told the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty to find an excuse and say that Dai Guo was rude and destroyed it.
The whole world was as bright as the eyes of the kings and ministers of Song Dynasty.
It doesn't work if it doesn't light up. It can be repaired just in time.
Moreover, Zi Lufei also thought of something. The originally promised position of "Prime Minister" could be lowered a little bit, and given to a minister or any other official position that sounded awesome, and then added a little more to balance it out, wouldn't it be enough?
Is it almost the same as "Xiangguo"?
The monarch's power was not divided, and Dai Ju's face was taken care of. A loyal minister like Dai Ju would definitely understand the emperor's good intentions.
As for adding heads, since Dai Yi is close to Dai State, just destroy Dai State and expand it into Dai Yi. It is very simple and reasonable.
As for the Duke of Dai, they are all packed up and sold!
Of course, if you don't want to sell it, you can send it to Luoyi or Biyang. It doesn't matter where it is. As long as you are no longer in the same place, Zilu Fei is not afraid of causing trouble.
Both sides have such needs. The Song Dynasty is eager for peace talks, Dai Guo has indeed offended Li Jie, and Dai Ju, the doctor of Dai Yi, really needs compensation...
So what does it mean to betray a small country?
Anyway, one is for sale, and both are for sale. Xue Guo did not argue with the reason. Adding Dai Guo to the list is nothing.
Moreover, some of Song Guoqing's officials had a very good idea. The land east of Hedong was cut off, and now they could make up for it from Dai Guo. If the balance is balanced, it might not be a loss, but a small profit.
The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty, who deceived themselves and others and even went a little crazy, made such a show.
Not only was Li Jie in Hedong shocked, but Dai Ju, who had just arrived in Hexi and had not yet entered the Song Allied Forces camp, was also shocked.
"The matter has come to an end, let's grit our teeth and move forward."
With a sigh, Dai Ju couldn't care about that much. If he wanted revenge or something, he could only slowly accumulate strength and wait slowly.
The next day, someone in the Song Kingdom began to spread propaganda, saying that throughout the Song Kingdom, only "Jing Cao" endured the humiliation and carried forward with heavy burdens, and could be called the pillar of the country.
"Endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, the stronghold of the country!"
"The strong wind knows the strong grass, Dr. Dai Yi can sing and be respected!"
"There are heroes all the time, but Dai Zi is the only one in Song Dynasty!"
…
The soldiers in the Allied Forces Camp of the Song Dynasty felt the same way about all the nonsense. This time the Battle of Forced Yang was simply disgusting and humiliating. Only Dai Ju, the doctor of Dai Yi, could bring them a little bit of it.
Relief and hope.
Especially when he was serving as a former Army Sima, he personally led his troops to defeat almost all of his own Dai family members. This spirit shocked the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
It can even be said that the source of the "sad soldiers" of the Song Dynasty was not because the country's gentleman Li Fei had a stroke, which could not arouse their grief and indignation; nor was it because the friendly army Dai Guo Brigade Sergeant Sha Fei led his troops to surrender to the enemy, which could not arouse their anger.
anger.
But Dai Ju really aroused their feelings of sadness and indignation, because it seems that among the big nobles, the only one in the Song army who was willing to advance and retreat with them, the lower-level soldiers, was Dr. Dai Yi.
He even knew that negotiating across the river would be extremely humiliating. As an aristocratic soldier, what Dai Ju had to go through could be imagined by the soldiers at the bottom.
And all this is obviously not what Dai Ju is happy to see. In the eyes of the soldiers, Doctor Dai Yi is not doing this for himself, but for the Song Dynasty and them!
So even though it is strange that someone in the rear knew what was going on at the front line and specially made up a story to sing, the Song soldiers on the front line really believed that the only "powerful grass" in the Song State, Doctor Dai Yi, was the country's stronghold.
