Eleven Cochin Surrender 7
For Li Tianzuo, being a minister to the Great Song Dynasty is just a formality, and he has done it before, which is nothing. Making peace with Dali, returning the land, and disposing of Gao Jianming, it is not a big problem, and every year to pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain, although it is not a few, but Jiaozhi can afford to pay for it, and if it is really not possible, he will rob other countries. There is only compensation for the Song army, which is too much, and the gold alone is less than 100,000 taels in the Jiaozhi treasury, so go there to find 1 million taels of gold. Yang Yan, isn't this forcing Jiaozhi to death?
Li Tianzuo looked at the generals under his command, if there was really no way to negotiate peace, then he had to fight hard with the Song army, and he would have to count on these generals at that time. But Li Quancheng, Li Xuande, Ruan Chieftain and others all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Li Tianzuo's gaze. Everyone knows in their hearts that now the Song army is in danger of losing, the Song army is strong and strong, and the soldiers have been pointed directly at Shenglong, and Yang Yan is like a god with soldiers, and now there are more than 600 war elephants in Shenglong City, but the firearms of the Song army are too powerful, and these more than 600 war elephants are sent to death in vain. What else did Jiaozhi take to fight hard with Song Jun.
Fortunately, this is Wangpu Dao: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, Yang Yan must also know that we can't take out so many things now, and these conditions he proposed are not unnegotiable, as long as we fully agree to the conditions of paying tribute to the Song Dynasty, the others can be discussed with Yang Yan again, but how many things can we take out now to fight the Song army." ”
Li Tianzuo listened, and then he was a little relieved, what Wangpu said was reasonable, the so-called sky-high asking price, pay back on the spot. It would be better to discuss it again and immediately send someone to check the treasury to see how much money he still has.
Three days later, Wangpu came to the Song camp again, met Yang Yan, and after some bargaining, finally reached an agreement with Yang Yan: Jiaozhi was a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, allowing the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to do business in Jiaozhi, and the matter of making peace with Dali remained unchanged, and every year Jiaozhi paid 50,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain to the Great Song Dynasty, and gave a one-time compensation of 200,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, 200,000 stones of grain, and 600 elephants. Yang Yan knew that there were still six or seven hundred war elephants in Jiaozhi at present, which was also the last capital of Jiaozhi, and once there were no war elephants, the Jiaozhi army would be useless. Moreover, Yang Yan himself also wanted to form an elephant army, so he did not give an inch on the issue of elephants.
And after Li Tianzuo saw the second peace agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief, this time the conditions were finally within the range that Jiaozhi could bear, although he was really reluctant to send out these six hundred war elephants, but there was no way to do it, let's talk about success first, so he immediately agreed to all of them.
However, although Yang Yan was authorized by Zhao Yan to deal with the affairs of Jiaozhi, such a major matter as signing a peace treaty still has to be finalized by the court of Lin'an, although as long as there are no major accidents, the possibility of the court agreeing to this peace plan is still very great, but this transition must be done. Therefore, Yang Yan sent the final agreement and agreement to Lin'an in an expedited manner of 800 li to wait for the imperial court to deal with it.
However, during this period, Jiaozhi and Dali began negotiations again. In fact, the negotiation between them is very simple, it is about Gao Jianming. At this time, Gao Jianming was also active, he first wrote a sincere letter of guilt, and sent someone to Duan Zhixing, saying that he had committed a mortal crime, and Mu is sin is unforgivable, and now it is too late to regret it, and he does not dare to hope to return to Dali, he only hopes to survive in a foreign country and spend the rest of his life. I hope that Duan Zhixing will look at his age and Gao's contribution to Dali over the years, raise his noble hand, and let himself go.
At the same time, Gao Jianming ordered people to sneak back and move up and down, after all, the Gao family is deeply rooted in Dali, and there are still many tribal patriarchs who have benefited from them, so they have also helped Gao Jianming say good things. Moreover, Gao Jianming found his two daughters who were included in Duan Zhixing's harem through Father-in-law Ning, and asked them to intercede for themselves in front of Duan Zhixing.
In fact, Duan Zhixing also thinks in his heart that Gao Jianming is now in power and power, and now he is living in Jiaozhi, but he just wants to save his old life, and he now has the Great Song Dynasty as a backer, Gao Jianming really can't make any big waves. Therefore, everyone persuaded one after another, and Duan Zhixing also began to have some activities. Especially Gao Jianming's two daughters, who were born very beautifully, were still yellow flower virgins when they were admitted to the harem by Duan Zhixing, and they also deliberately agreed, so they were also quite favored by Duan Zhixing, and finally Duan Zhixing finally decided to let Gao Jianming go, let Gao Jianming stay in Jiaozhi, and don't ask questions.
After Gan Hua and Liu Jianhe found out, although they strongly opposed it, Duan Zhixing was determined and had nothing to do. After Yang Yan heard Xun, he could only smile bitterly.
However, after Yang Yan sent the agreement and peace treaty to Lin'an, he was applauded by the whole court. In fact, the Great Song Dynasty didn't care about the bit of silver handed over to the address, and because since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, since the beginning of the Yuanyuan Alliance, the Great Song Dynasty has been constantly sending money and things to other countries to ensure peace. Since the southern invasion of the Jin State, it has to be a vassal to the Jin State, and there has never been a matter of other countries paying tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi's national strength and status are undoubtedly much more important than Dali, and they were also subdued by themselves, and the Great Song Dynasty finally raised its eyebrows.
Zhao Yan immediately issued an edict to allow Yang Yan to sign an agreement and a peace agreement with Jiaozhi, and sent someone to Jiaozhi with the edict of Li Tianzuo to hand it over to Yang Yance to seal Li Tianzuo. And after asking for peace, Jiaozhi immediately sent envoys to Lin'an to thank him. And the property compensated by Jiaozhi was used as a bounty for the soldiers who went out to aid Dali this time, and Yang Yan was the master and scattered to the soldiers.
Twelve days later, Lin'an's edict came to Jiaozhi, and Yang Yan immediately sent Chen Liang into the city to seal Li Tianzuo. At this time, Li Tianzuo also prepared all the gold, silver, grain, and war elephants to compensate Song Junyou, and handed them over to Song Jun together.
After Yang Yan received these things, he was also ready to withdraw his troops. Li Tianzuo also sent Prime Minister Wangpu as an envoy to follow the Song army back to the Great Song Dynasty with 50,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain that he had paid tribute to the Great Song Dynasty this year, and went to meet Zhao Yan to thank him. At this time, Liu Renxian also wanted to go back with the Dali army, and Yang Yan returned all the forty-six elephants from the Dali important place to Dali, so that Liu Renxian could bring them back. The two parties broke up and set off on their own roads.
