Seventy and success

This time, the time for peace negotiation was very fast, and within 10 days, the results of the peace negotiations between the two sides came out in the scriptures.

First, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia became friendly neighbors and recognized each other's places, the Great Song Dynasty Zhishu Xixia said: His Majesty the Emperor of the Great White Gaoguo Kingdom; And the Western Xia Zhishu Great Song Dynasty said: His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Kingdom. Every year, on the occasion of the birthday of the emperors of the two countries, or the wedding of the emperor, and the succession of the new monarch, the two countries should notify each other and send envoys to greet each other.

Second, the national border between the two countries stretched from Duorenquan City in the west, Economic Sang and Lingbo Mountain, and reached Xinhui Prefecture in the east, and Western Xia ceded Xining Prefecture, Huangzhou, Kuozhou, Zhuo Luo, Nanjunsi, Gaolan, Yongdeng and other places to the Great Song Dynasty. And the Great Song Dynasty returned the Xishou Baotai Military Division, Baojing Military Division and other places to Western Xia.

Third, this war was provoked by the Western Xia first, so the Western Xia paid the Great Song Dynasty 800,000 taels of silver and 20,000 good horses to compensate for the losses of the Great Song Dynasty. After that, the Western Xia paid 70,000 taels of silver and 8,000 horses to the Great Song Dynasty every year, of which half were good horses and half horses; The Great Song Dynasty gave back 100,000 catties of Xixia tea every year, which was called "mutual gift". The exchange of gifts between the two parties is completed within the first month of the new year of each year. The two sides exchanged captured soldiers and captured civilians.

Fourth, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia traded with each other, and the caravans could enter each other's designated border cities, and the two sides issued trade certificates to trade goods. And between the two countries, there is a mutual market of tea and horses.

After the completion of the peace treaty was brought back to Xingqing Mansion by Ren Dejing, Li Renxiao couldn't believe his eyes, because the conditions for this peace negotiation were not only far lower than the original expectations of the Western Xia court, but even lower than the price paid by the last Western Xia plan.

The first Western Xia did not need to be a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, and the diplomatic relations between the two countries were reciprocal, although this article did not have any substantive benefits, but it was very important in the great sense and represented the face of the country. Secondly, the land ceded to the Southern Song Dynasty was also much less than originally expected, Xining Prefecture, Huangzhou, and Kuozhou were originally the land of the Song Dynasty, and Li Renxiao had no intention of returning it, so the actual land lost by Western Xia was only one Zhuo Luo and Nanjunsi area, which was less than half of Li Renxiao's psychological bottom line. In addition, the amount of silver compensated is not as much as originally imagined, although 8,000 horses are given to the Song Dynasty every year, but the horses produced in the Western Xia are 20,000 or 30,000 horses every year, which is not a big problem, not to mention that the Song Dynasty has to give back 100,000 catties to the Western Xia every year, at least it can be worth two or three thousand horses.

As for trade between the two countries, the implementation of the tea and horse exchange market was not a loss for the Western Xia, but a great profit. Because Western Xia was not a completely agrarian country, but a half-ploughing and half-pastoral, except for the abundance of various livestock and salt, all kinds of commodities were very scarce, and the trade between the two countries was conducive to making up for the needs of the country.

Moreover, the main meal of most party members is still eating meat and drinking cheese, and tea can relieve greasy and help digestion, so tea has also become an indispensable daily necessity for most party members. The tea and horse market is mutually beneficial to both sides, welcomed by both sides, and the Song Dynasty can produce about 50 million catties of tea every year, and Sichuan alone can produce more than 20 million catties of tea a year, and the country is far from digesting so much tea, so it can be used to exchange horses with Xixia.

In fact, as early as the Xining and Yuanfeng periods, the tea and horse trade policy between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty had been perfected, and in the Chongning period, the two sides agreed to divide the price of horses into nine grades: the third class of good horses, and the sixth class of horses. The middle of the good horse folded 250 catties of tea per horse, the medium 220 catties, and the inferior 200 catties. Gang Ma sixth, each horse folded tea 176 catties, 169 catties, 164 catties, 154 catties, 149 catties, 132 catties. After the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the two countries did not border each other for decades, and needed to be transshipped through Tubo, Jin and other countries, so the price of horses also rose several times, and a high-quality horse often needed more than 1,000 catties of tea to exchange it back.

Now that the Song and Western Xia are once again bordering, it is also in line with the interests of both sides to trade with each other and resume the tea and horse trade. On the whole, Li Renxiao was very satisfied with this peace treaty, and even the ministers of the Western Xia thought that the peace could talk about this step, and it was very good to talk about it, so it was not discussed much by Tsuji, and the Western Xia court fully accepted the peace agreement.

And Ren Dejing, who was sent to Xingzhou, was able to negotiate peace like this, which can also be regarded as being ordered and indispensable in danger, so his prestige in the Western Xia Kingdom has also increased greatly.

And for the Great Song Dynasty, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, this time not only to return to Xining Prefecture, Huangzhou, and Kuozhou, but also to get Zhuo Luo and the strategic location of the Southern Military Division, which is equivalent to opening a gap in Western Xia, Xiliang Mansion, Xingqing Mansion, including the Xishou Baotai Military Division and other places will be in the Song Army's military front.

Although there was not much silver to be compensated for this peace, the purpose of the Song Dynasty was not to ask for the silver of Western Xia. Moreover, according to the treaty, the Song Dynasty could get 4,000 good horses and 4,000 horses from the Western Xia every year, and at the same time, horses could be purchased through the tea and horse market. Although it did not completely solve the problem of the lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty. But at least greatly expand the source of horses, and do not have to rely entirely on the gold country. If it can last for a few years, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to establish a considerable cavalry force, which can compete with the Jin State. That's far better than getting some extra silver.

Moreover, this time, the Great Song Dynasty also obtained the right to trade in the territory of Western Xia, which not only helped the Great Song Dynasty to further arrange spy personnel in the territory of Western Xia, but also made the future communication with Mongolia much more aspect.

More importantly, through this war and peace, not only dealt a heavy blow to the power of Western Xia, but also successfully cultivated Ren Dejing's forces in Western Xia, making him enough to compete with the monarch Li Renxiao. In the future, it will be impossible for the Jin State to monopolize its interests in Western Xia, and the situation of the two countries jointly attacking the Great Song Dynasty at the same time will not be repeated.

Of course, when the goal of the Song Dynasty was achieved, it was impossible to hide it from the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom forever, and soon the situation of the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom was wrong.

After Li Renxiao accepted the peace treaty, the joy was not over, and Lang Jinzhong, who was recuperating at home, realized that the situation was not right, and immediately went to the court to remind the emperor that the peace was successful, and the price paid was far lower than the imperial court's expectations, but the result would only greatly increase Ren Dejing's prestige. Moreover, most of the land returned by the Song army to Western Xia was within Ren Dejing's sphere of influence, and the land ceded to the Song army belonged to the power of the monarch.

After listening to Lang Jinzhong's words, Li Renxiao also suddenly woke up, and then thought that the Song army's initial counterattack was actually from Ren Dejing's territory, and the Song army almost effortlessly broke through Ren Dejing's defense line and penetrated deep into the territory of Western Xia, only to force Wei Ming Jizhong to withdraw his army, but was ambushed on the bank of the Yellow River and returned defeated.

Although Ren Dejing himself said that he was defeated in several battles with the Song army, but looking back, he did not receive any news at all, and at that time, the main generals of the Song army, Yang Yan, Yang Changpeng, Cao Xun and others were all fighting against the Western Xia army in Xingqing Mansion, and it was impossible for a large-scale war to start a large-scale war in Ren Dejing's territory. And from the time Ren Dejing returned to Xingqing Mansion, the process of taking the initiative to serve as a councilor and envoy was simply a step by step, and it was premeditated with Ben, so it is not difficult to conclude that in fact, Ren Dejing colluded with the Southern Song Dynasty from the beginning, and he has always been in their calculations.

Thinking of this, Li Renxiao was immediately angry, and wanted to tear up this peace treaty and send someone to recover Li Renyi. But after calming down, he thought again, at present, the Western Xia does not have the capital to fight with the Southern Song Dynasty again, no matter what, now it is also successful in negotiating peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, and the price paid is also acceptable. It's better to agree first and get through the difficulties in front of you.

Therefore, Li Renxiao weighed it repeatedly, and after thinking about it again, he finally felt that he should accept this peace treaty, and wait for the Song army to retreat, and then find a way to deal with Ren Dejing. I had no choice but to send the prepared horses and silver to the country, and immediately sent someone to inform the Jin country.

Although Jin Guo is not very clear about the situation in Western Xia. But he also sent Shi Ju to personally participate in the entire peace negotiation process.

Seeing that the peace talks were going very smoothly this time, and the two sides hardly had any differences, they easily negotiated the peace treaty. At that time, Shi Ju felt that something was wrong, although the profit from this conference and the Song Dynasty was not great, but he was able to get a large number of horses from Western Xia, which could not help but make him feel heartbroken.

Originally, the Southern Song Dynasty had such an outstanding general as Yang Yan, and if he got enough war horses, it would be a great disadvantage to the Jin Kingdom. However, his task is to resolve the contradictions between the two sides, mediate in a timely manner, and promote the two sides to reach a consensus and negotiate peace. But now it seems that the two sides of the negotiation do not need their own mediation, and they have reached a consensus on the basis of their answers, and they cannot speak out against the negotiation of peace at this time.

After the two sides signed the treaty, Shi Ju also returned to Jingzhao Mansion, and at this time, Li Renxiao's letter was also delivered in the scriptures. After Shi Ju read the letter, he understood, and he was not surprised, from this point of view, were Jin Guo and Xibian played by the Southern Song Dynasty this time? At that moment, he immediately consulted with Fushi Lie Zhining, first sent someone to rush the letter back to Zhongdu with 800 li, and then sent someone to inform Monk Wanyan Chen, who was about to withdraw his troops and return, so that he could continue to camp in Xingqing Mansion and wait for the order.
