Yang Yan's eyes showed a compelling light, staring straight at Yelu Chucai, and said, "The matter about the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty must not be talked about anymore. ”

With Yelu Chucai's self-cultivation mind, he was stared at by Yang Yan's gaze, and he actually felt a little uncomfortable, but his face remained impassive, and said: "Song and Mongolia are jointly destroying Jin, so the distribution after the destruction of gold should naturally be fair and reasonable. ”

Yang Yan said lightly: "The land of the Jin Kingdom is not only the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Hebei, outside the Great Wall, there is still a large amount of soil, the territory is vast, and it is not lost outside the Great Wall, although it is taken by the Mongolian army." Moreover, these places are the homeland of Liao in the past, and Mr. is a descendant of the Khitan, and he should take it as his responsibility to recover the hometown of Liao. We Song and Mongolia might as well take the Great Wall as the boundary, the north of the Great Wall is taken by Mongolia, and the south of the Great Wall is all taken by our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yelu Chucai shook his head and said: "Although Chu Cai is a descendant of the Khitan, but the Great Liao has been destroyed for a while, and Chu Cai has long lost the idea of recovery. Now out of Mongolia, I should do my best and fulfill the responsibility of the minister. Although the land north of the Great Wall is vast, most of them are barren land and sparsely populated, how can they compare with the prosperity and luxury outside the Great Wall. In the words of the horse, don't you want me to take the poor and give up the rich, and ask if this is fair and reasonable? ”

Yang Yan said: "Mr. Yelu, according to your statement, does Mongolia have to seize my Great Song Dynasty homeland before it can be willing?" ”

Yelu Chucai shook his head again and said: "My Mongolia does not peep at the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, but on a case-by-case basis, if the Great Song Dynasty must recover the homeland, can I give a way to compensate Mongolia." ”

Yang Yan pondered for a while before he said, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Yelu, but this matter needs to be made by Emperor Ming of the Great Song Dynasty before a decision can be made." I think that's all for today's talks, Mr. Yelu, please go back to the embassy and rest first, and then inform you after we have discussed it. ”

Yelu Chucai nodded and said with a smile: "That's the case, then let's say goodbye first and wait for the good news of the Great Song Dynasty in the pavilion." ”

"What? The Mongols actually want my homeland of the Great Song Dynasty? It just doesn't make sense. After listening to Yang Yan talk about the first day of talks, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be a little angry.

At this time, several ruling ministers were there, and Wang Yan said angrily: "The Mongolian Tatars are too much, Your Majesty, we must not agree to such a request." ”

Zhou Kui also said: "Your Majesty, what the king said is good, according to the minister's opinion, the wolf ambition of the Mongols is better than that of the Jin State, and we immediately agreed to the proposal of the Jin State to redeem the lost territory, so not only can we not agree to the request of the Mongols, but we will simply break off diplomatic relations with the Mongols immediately, only in this way can we never suffer in the future." ”

Zhao Chen listened, he couldn't help but move in his heart, although he was a little angry, but he never thought of breaking off diplomatic relations with Mongolia, and Zhao Chen also knew in his heart that Mongolia made this request, not necessarily because he really had a bad idea about the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was more likely that he would use it as a threat to seek greater benefits in other aspects. As a judgment between the two countries, such an approach is understandable.

In fact, with Zhou Kui's experience and experience, he may not be unable to see through this, but the reason why he says this is that more than half of it is to play on the topic. Therefore, Zhao Chen immediately remembered what Yang Yan had said, one of the purposes of Jin Guo's proposal was to induce the Great Song Dynasty to break off diplomatic relations with Mongolia, and now it seems that Yang Yan really said it.

At this time, Zhao Ruyu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Zhou's proposal is inappropriate, although we agreed to the proposal of the Jin State to redeem the lost land, but the Jin people have always been untrustworthy, and before the proposal is not fulfilled, we must not take the Jin State lightly, even if it is cashed, we must prevent the Jin people from repeating it, and we must not be careless." Therefore, the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia must not be easily canceled. ”

Among several ruling ministers, Zhou Kui has always advocated peace with the Jin State, each guarding the land and being at peace, but opposed the use of troops, so as soon as the Jin State mentioned the proposal to redeem the lost land, he immediately raised his hands in agreement. And Zhao Ruyu is different from Zhou Kui, although he also advocates accepting this proposal, but it is only a matter of facts, but Jin Guo still has to be careful to take precautions. At this time, diplomatic relations with Mongolia must not be severed. After all, it is difficult for Song and Meng to defeat the Jin State alone, and only by uniting together can there be hope of revenge against the Jin State.

Ye Hao said: "My lords, have you ever thought about it, even if the Mongolian capital Jin has a feud, even if they don't ally ally with my Great Song Dynasty, they will be enemies of the Jin State, even if this is the case, then we don't have to care too much about the alliance with Mongolia, just wait for Mongolia to fight with the Jin State, and then take advantage of it." ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Lord Ye, what you said is not right, not to mention that if there is no Great Song Dynasty, Mongolia will not have the ability to be the enemy of the Jin State alone, but if they attack the Jin Kingdom, what they have seized is still the homeland of our Great Song Dynasty, so it is better to make it clear first." ”

At this time, Han Yanzhi also came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Mongolia's move may not really want to occupy my Great Song Dynasty's homeland, and deliberately create problems for us, just hoping to obtain some benefits from other aspects." ”

Zhao Chen nodded, Han Yanzhi said, similar to his own thoughts, among the several ruling ministers, there are still a few people who understand. Said: "Han Qing thinks that what benefits do the Mongols want?" ”

Han Yan said straightly: "In Yichen's opinion, it should be some grain and grass materials, ordnance and equipment, etc. As long as I promise to give them some, they will definitely not ask for land anymore. ”

Zhou Kui said again: "They want to get good, why should we give the grain and grass materials, ordnance and equipment of our Great Song Dynasty to this state grassland tartar?" ”

Zhao Ruyu said: "Lord Zhou, what you said is not right, the two countries intersect, naturally they are fighting for the interests of their own countries, and Mongolia's move is understandable." Moreover, once the two countries really attack the Jin State at the same time, it is also beneficial to our Great Song Dynasty to give them some grain, grass, materials, ordnance and equipment, and cause damage to the Jin army. What's more, the land is still in the hands of the Jin people, not owned by my Great Song Dynasty, if it is really occupied by the Mongols, what can we do, so the most important thing is to recover the lost land in the past, no matter what method can be used. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, although on the surface, Zhao Chen accepted Jin Guo's proposal to redeem the lost land with silver money, but in fact, it was just an expedient measure, and Zhao Chen did not intend to really implement it. And he also knew that it was impossible to carry out this proposal, and to regain the lost territory, it would still have to rely on force. Therefore, in this case, it is absolutely necessary to continue to maintain union with Mongolia,

So Zhao Chen said: "Zhao Qing's proposal is very agreeable." Yang Qing, it is still up to you to negotiate with Mongolia, once the two countries start a war with the Jin State at the same time, you can supply them with some grain, grass, materials, ordnance and equipment as appropriate. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Your Honor." ”

In fact, Yelu Chucai also knew in his heart that Mongolia did not have the strength to fight against the Jin State alone, and it had to unite with the Great Song Dynasty to have any hope of defeating the Jin State. Therefore, he never wanted to get into trouble with the Great Song Dynasty. However, Yelu Chucai still made such a request to the Great Song Dynasty for two purposes, one was to obtain some grain, grass, materials, and military equipment from the Great Song Dynasty as discussed by the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and the other was to limit the goal of the Great Song Dynasty to the scope of seizing the homeland and give up the claim to other lands in the Jin Kingdom. Maximize Mongolia's interests. I believe that there should be people in the Great Song Dynasty who understand this and will see this clearly.

Because outside the Great Wall, there is still more than half of the land in Jinguo, not all of which are sparsely populated and thin, and many of them are cities that have been operating in Liaoning and Jin for many years and have quite abundant materials and population. For what is now Mongolia, this seized these places to be enough to operate for decades. And Yelu Chucai also understood that the ultimate goal of the Great Song Dynasty was to recover all the lost territory, which was difficult to compromise.

However, with the premise that Song Meng must unite with Jin, the rest of the things will be easy to discuss. After three more days of negotiations, Yang Yan and Yelu Chucai finally reached an agreement:

1. The alliance between the Song and Mongolia is aimed at destroying the Jin State and taking revenge on each side, and neither side can betray the alliance alone until this goal is accomplished.

2. The military operations of the two sides must be consistent, and in principle, it is necessary to use troops against the Jin State from the north and south at the same time. If the other side wants to send troops alone, it must first obtain the consent of the other side, otherwise it can be regarded as a breach of contract to send troops, and the other side will not bear any responsibility and obligations.

3. Once the Jin State was destroyed, the territory of the Jin State was bounded by the Great Wall, with the south of the Great Wall owned by the Great Song Dynasty and the north of the Great Wall owned by Mongolia, and not forcibly occupied. In terms of military operations, they can fight across borders or even capture cities according to their own needs. However, after the war is over, according to the pre-war agreement, the land that does not belong to them will be returned to the other side.

Fourth, after the two sides sent troops to attack the Jin State, the Great Song Dynasty provided Mongolia with 300,000 stones of grain and grass, 10,000 pieces of armor and ×××, etc. However, the Mongol army must make corresponding achievements, and if the Mongol army no longer has the consent of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song can interrupt the supply. And when the two sides defeated the Jin State together, after the war was over, the Great Song Dynasty did not have to pay any supplies to Mongolia.

5. Before the outbreak of the war, the two sides opened a field on the Song-Mongolian border to trade goods, but the price had to be negotiated, and the Great Song Dynasty had to ensure that it was cheap for Mongolia, and the Great Song Dynasty had the obligation to send craftsmen to guide Mongolia in making the necessary equipment.

It can be said that the five-point agreement is acceptable to both sides. And the interests of both sides can be safeguarded. Therefore, both parties are also very satisfied.
