55 Deliberations and Peace (2)
After another three days, Li Yao came to Jiankang Mansion again and brought the basic conditions for peace and negotiation between the two sides as drawn up by Jin Guo: 1. The two sides will negotiate and negotiate in Xiashu Town, between Jiankang Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion; 2. The representatives of the two sides shall be one principal envoy, two deputy envoys, ten officials and twenty entourage; 3. When the peace is negotiated, neither side shall fight again, and each shall take the city it occupies now, and the soldiers without the city shall retreat ten miles and be stationed there; 4. Each side of the peace conference may bring 300 soldiers to protect the peacemakers. If the Song Dynasty has no objection to these four points, it can select a date for the peace meeting and submit a list of representative officials.
After the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers discussed, they felt that these four points were feasible, and at the same time, they added three points, one is that in the place of ten miles east and west of Xia Shu Town, the Song and Jin sides can each send 5,000 men and horses to respond, and the two sides can not only stop the armistice in the south of the Yangtze River, but also inform the people and horses in the north of the river that the war must also be stopped, and the Song army provides ships, sends the envoys of the Jin army across the river, and informs the monk Yan Chen, and the third is that among the 300 soldiers accompanying him, there are 100 cavalry and 200 infantry.
After receiving the supplementary conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom had no objection, and immediately agreed to the supplementary conditions of the Song Dynasty, so they sent someone to inform the Jiankang Imperial Court of the list of peacemakers, and agreed that three days later, the peacemakers would meet in Xiashu Town. And the Jiankang Imperial Court also submitted its own list of peacemakers to the Jin Army.
Song Fangyihe's representative envoy is the privy envoy Han Yanzhi, the deputy envoy is Shang Fan Chengda of the Criminal Department, Zuo Zhengyan and Zhao Ruyu, a bachelor of Hanlin, and the general who escorts the army to protect him is Zhao Cao. The deputy envoy is Cai Songnian, the governor of the council, and Bai Yanjing, the marshal of the left supervising army, and the general who escorts the army to protect Shi Mo Yanshan. Judging from the official positions of the representatives of the two sides, they are basically equal.
However, on the first day of the peace talks, there was a fierce collision between the two sides.
It turned out that when they first met, each party brought a blueprint for the peace treaty that they had drawn up. The peace treaty drawn up by the Song Dynasty was: 1. The border between the two sides was bounded by the Great Wall, and the Jin State must return all the land of the Great Song Dynasty, including the sixteen states of Yanyun; 2. The Jin State must be a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty; 3. Jin sent the prince to the Great Song Dynasty as a hostage. The conditions put forward by the Jin State are: first, the two sides should be bounded by the Yangtze River, Jiangnan belongs to Song, and Jiangbei belongs to Jin; 2. Song must be a vassal to Jin, and the position of Song Guojun must be sealed by Jin Guoce; 3. Song paid a tribute of 1 million taels of silver and 1 million horses of silk to Jin Guona.
Judging from the preliminary conditions put forward by the two sides, it is completely at odds with each other, and it is impossible to talk about going together. So immediately a fierce quarrel broke out.
Fan Chengda was the first to attack, and said: "My Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is determined to settle the people, so he ordered the rest of the army and negotiated peace with you, but in the following opinion, your Jinbang has no sincerity to negotiate peace at all!" ”
Cai Songnian immediately asked: "I don't want to see the people of the two countries suffer from the swords, so the emperor allowed peace to be negotiated, how can your envoy see that my Great Song Dynasty is not sincere?" ”
Fan Chengda sneered and said: "Now your lord is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, lonely and poor, unable to eat, and the day is not safe, and you dare to draw the Yangtze River and divide the boundary between the two countries, and want my lord to be a minister and pay the New Year's coin, it is really delusional, if you say that your state is sincere in negotiating peace, how can it be seen?" ”
Bai Yanjing snorted and said: "It's true that my Dajin is now guarding the south of the Yangtze River, but there are still tens of thousands of soldiers, and there will be hundreds of soldiers, grain and grass supply, more than two years, what can you do to me?" What's more, now Huaidong is still in the hands of my Dajin, and Nanyang also has tens of thousands of troops, and it is easy to take the land north of the river, what is delusional? It's because you Southern Dynasty can't do enough to do it, and you actually want to use the Great Wall as the boundary, and let me Dajin call the ministers and Nazi as a hostage, isn't this the sincerity of the Southern Dynasty? ”
Zhao Ruyu shook his head and said: "Your envoy's words are wrong, don't you hear the reason that 'the lord of the country has lived outside for a long time, and there will be chaos inside', thinking that you have been in the country for less than 60 years, and then you killed the king and seized the throne. When your lord won the throne back then, didn't he take advantage of the fact that King Hailing was fighting outside, so he had to take advantage of the situation? If you don't return home as soon as possible, I'm afraid your lord will be in danger! If you don't speak gradually, how dare you talk about strength and weakness with my Great Song Dynasty? ”
Cai Songnian changed color and said: "My lord is a saintly and virtuous king, called Xiao Yao Shun, the people are all in their hearts, and the scholars are subservient, how can it be compared to the king of Hailing, and there is no one who dares to rebel and make trouble." To your Southern Dynasty, now it is the sun and the moon that are hanging together, and the two monarchs stand side by side, whether your lord can live in Jiangnan has not yet been known, I don't know who is in danger? ”
Fan Chengda immediately said: "Your envoy is exaggerating!" Now the four roads in Sichuan, Liangguang, Lianghu, Jingxi, and Huaixi belong to my master, and Zhao Kai'er is just a disease of scabies, like ashes on the desk, and it will go away. It's just that my lord can't bear to do it because of his righteousness, and I just hope that he will wake up on his own. How can it be compared with me? If you think that Zhao Kai can be the lord of Jiangnan, you might as well go and negotiate peace with Zhao Kai, and you will come to us. ”
In this way, the two sides come and go, arguing and fighting. Later, even the ten officials who accompanied him joined the controversy. So far, only the two envoys, Han Yanzhi and Fusan Zhongyi, have been sitting quietly on the side, watching their subordinates quarrel, but they have not been opened.
The two sides fought for more than an hour, and Han Yan smiled at the servant and said, "Your envoy, I don't think there will be any more results today, why don't you stop here?" ”
Fusan Zhongyi also smiled: "I also think so, this day is over, everyone go back to rest for the night, and ask your envoy to come out on time tomorrow." ”
Han Yan said straightly: "That's nature. ”
So the two sides got up and went out of the account one after another, and each went back to rest. However, the negotiations and the words and deeds of the people had already been recorded in detail by the accompanying officials, and they were sent back to their respective cities overnight.
Zhao Chen, Yang Yan and others all felt funny when they saw the return. On the first day, the conditions of both sides were very high, but in fact, they were asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot. Obviously, they all want to test the other party's state and the bottom line of the negotiation, so that they can obtain favorable conditions in the subsequent negotiations. Now it seems that the bottom line of the two sides has not been too clear about each other, but the attitude is very tough. However, neither side of the envoys was involved in the quarrel, which means that both sides have room for further talks.
Because for both sides, it will not be beneficial for both sides to fight any longer, and the Jiankang court will fall into a two-front battle, and it is also necessary to Danxin Zhao Kai will take this opportunity to become bigger and make the Great Song Dynasty fall into division. After all, the Jin army was trapped in Jiangnan and could not get out, and the country could no longer support this battle. Therefore, both sides hope that the peace talks will be successful.
However, both sides want to maximize their own interests, and neither side is willing to make concessions easily, so it can be expected that the peace talks will be very difficult to continue. From the next day, the two sides began to discuss the content of the treaties.
The first thing that the two sides can determine is the name of the relationship between the two countries. Moreover, in this article, there is also the least difference between the two sides, because fighting back and forth is nothing more than fighting for a false name, and it does not make much sense. Therefore, this article was soon finalized, and the status of the two countries was equal, regardless of each other. The Song Dynasty called the Jin Emperor the Jin Emperor, and the Jin Dynasty called the Song Emperor the Song Emperor.
However, in the process of negotiations, the Jin side once proposed to imitate the alliance between Song Liao and Yuanyuan and set the relationship between the two countries as a brotherly relationship, this is because Wan Yanyong is older than Zhao Chen, if the relationship between the two countries is set as a brotherly relationship, it is natural to take Jin as a brother and Song as a brother. In this way, Jin Guo can take a small advantage.
However, the Song side said that the two countries were not brothers, so why bother calling it, and if the two sides became brothers, where would they put the prince of Jinfang. Because Zhao Chen's age is younger than Wanyan Yungong, the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, if he marries Wanyan Yong, won't Wanyan Yungong respect Zhao Chen as his uncle? When Jin Fang heard this, he also laughed it off, and never mentioned it again.
This one was sent back to their respective cities, and both sides were satisfied, so it was decided.
Next is the border between the two countries. In fact, it is not too difficult to determine this one, because the bottom line of both sides is so big that it can be figured out. Basically, based on the places currently occupied by the two sides, although Zhao Chen resolutely refused to cede the land, he also knew that the places occupied by the Jin army would not be easily spit out. And in the place south of the Yangtze River, the Jin army will definitely not stay, and the only difference between the two sides is in Huaidong.
Since ancient times, guarding the Yangtze River must defend the Huai, and without the Huainan region, it is difficult to preserve the Yangtze River defense line. The Song side must not give up Huaidong, so it insisted that the Jin army must withdraw from Huaidong. The Jin side obviously knew this, and even if Huaidong was forcibly occupied, the Song side would try to recapture it. Moreover, now Huaidong is under enemy on three sides, and it is difficult to defend it if it wants to. It's just that the Jin side is unwilling to give up Huaidong for nothing, and always has to make the Song side pay a little price, so the negotiations continue to be difficult.
First of all, the Jin side asked the Song side to pay 1 million yuan as the price for the Jin army's withdrawal from Huaidong, which was naturally severely rejected by the Song side, and the Song side made it clear that the Jin side must withdraw from Huaidong unconditionally, and even proposed that if the Jin side did not agree, it might as well put the peace on hold for the time being, and wait for the two sides to make peace after the two sides split the victory and defeat in Huaidong. Seeing that the Song side was resolute, the Jin side proposed to exchange Fengxiangfu, Qinzhou and Xinhuizhou, which were occupied by the Western and Northern Song sides, for Huaidong.
Zhao Chenjunchen discussed for another day, and only agreed to hand over Fengxiang Mansion and Qinzhou to Jinfang, but refused to return Xinhui Prefecture. Because Fengxiang Mansion and Qinzhou Great Song Dynasty did not occupy all of them in the first place, it did not make much sense to force them to stay, and it was worth exchanging these two counties for the land of Huaidong, and Xinhui Prefecture connected Western Xia, and at the same time, it could not be easily given up from the flank to the Qinfeng region in the northwest. Jin Fang thought about it again, so he finally decided to agree to Song Fang. In this way, the border between the two sides is bounded by Chuzhou in the east, and Gongzhou and Xinhui in the west are bordered by Western Xia.
For the Jin side, compared with before the southern expedition, it not only recovered the five prefectures of Ying, Shou, Su, Pi and Xu that were taken away by the Song Dynasty, but also obtained the four prefectures of Deng, Tang, Cai and Hai, especially Suzhou, Xuzhou and Haizhou, which were all strategic places, and in the west, Fengxiang Mansion and Qinzhou were recovered, which also ensured the depth and security of the flanks of Jingzhao Mansion. It's not very satisfying, but it's rewarding.
