You must know that this negotiation was initiated by the courts of both sides when both sides felt a little unbearable, and both sides made a lot of preparations for this, so it would not be over lightly. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)
But Li Qi has also made the bottom line of the Song Dynasty clear, and on this basis, there is a lot to talk about, but under this, then don't talk about it at all.
In fact, then again, is it really Li Qi who bullies people?
Of course not!
In the final analysis, Jin Guo is bullying people, why should I give you a tribute, and why should I quit Yunzhou, we spent a lot of money in Yunzhou at the beginning, and you will return if you want to return!
In the past, Jin Guo would not tell the Song Dynasty any reason, benevolence and righteousness, four words, I just want it. On the contrary, this has become a phenomenon, or a tradition of the Song Dynasty, that is, whenever the Song Dynasty negotiates with any country, there must be a tribute in it, whether it is the Liao State, the Western Xia, or now the Jin State.
But now the situation is different, Li Qi and Zhao Kai, the two leaders who hold great power, have made up their minds that this time they must break this tradition, I can give you money, but it is by no means tribute, it can only be said to be help, and this must be in line with the core interests of our Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, I will not give a penny.
The truth is not on the side of the Jin State, and the force cannot deter it, so the Jin State can only retreat and let Su Shilie Bohe go to the Song camp, tell SΓΉ Liqi, and continue to talk tomorrow.
This is not a shame, because there are so many things to talk about in this kind of level meeting, and of course there will be friction, quarrels and quarrels are inevitable, and no one will aspire to talk about everything in one day.
It's not realistic.
So the next day, the two sides came to the ship again and started the second negotiation.
Thanks to the concessions made by the Jin State this time, the two sides finally reached a certain consensus, and the focus of this negotiation is still on economic construction. Wanyan Zongwang must ask Li Qi to come up with a set of definite plans, and give a written guarantee, no matter how big or small, all of them will be written into the covenant.
As soon as he finished saying this, Li Qi threw out the plan.
He had been prepared for this for a long time. Because after the Battle of the Yellow River, he expected this day, because it was impossible for them to destroy the Jin State, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream, so it was only a matter of time before the negotiations were made.
Although Wanyan Zongwang's tone was very tough, this time Li Qi surprisingly did not raise the bar with him. Because this economic construction was also very important to the Song Dynasty.
The key lies in the hearts and minds of the people.
The people's hearts in the Yanyun area have long been broken by the Song Dynasty, and it will take time to make up for it, not overnight, or with a certain policy.
However, the best way to make up for it. It's definitely money.
Once the economic construction of the two countries has made decisive progress, then the economy of the Yanyun region will surely revive very quickly, and people will go to a high place, when the Han people who now live under the jurisdiction of the Jin State see the changes in the Song court and see the Song Dynasty, it is inevitable that they will not have other thoughts in their hearts.
So, Richie is more than happy to take a step.
But. Li Qi is not resigned, he has a request, that is, it must not be the same as this time, once there is any contradiction in the relationship between the two countries, you will find our merchants of the Song Dynasty to open the knife, in this case, who would dare to go to your Jin country to do business.
Li Qi demanded that the emperor of your Jin Kingdom must obtain a holy decree to proclaim to the world. Not only for the Great Song Dynasty, but for all countries, I promise that no matter what accidents arise between the two countries, you must protect the legitimate merchants who go to your country to do business, and their interests, and if there is any damage, you must compensate. Whether it's a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, or a merchant of Japan, or something else.
Although Richie often said that this pact was based on the strength of both sides. Without hard power, any covenant is empty talk, but the situation is different now, aside from the rest, just this regulation to protect foreign businessmen, as long as Yan Sheng issued this holy decree, then it must have absolute trustworthiness.
Because Jin is a big country that has just risen, and the surrounding countries have not yet recognized his status, at this time Jin Guo urgently needs to establish its own credibility, which is also one of the reasons why Wanyan Aguda returned Kyushu to the Song Dynasty as promised, and it is also the main reason why Wanyan Zongwang wanted to use Yelu Yanxi as an excuse to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Zongwang also understood Li Qi's intentions, but he also felt that this treaty was reasonable, if you didn't give a promise, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty would not dare to come here to do business, so he nodded and agreed.
After some discussion on the basis of the details, the two sides settled the matter of economic construction.
This economic construction is more detailed and stricter than the last time.
Since Li Qi opened this mouth, of course, he is sure to do this.
This is the end of the negotiations on this day, however, this third negotiation is not scheduled to be held the next day, but will be scheduled to take place after tomorrow, because the next point is the focus of the negotiations, that is, the division of regions, so both sides need time to prepare.
On the day of the preparation of the two sides, the division of the Yanyun region was launched.
In fact, roughly speaking, Li Qi has already said that it is obvious that there should be no long-winded covenants in the past, if according to the alliance of the sea, all of this Yanyun region belongs to me, but I know that you will definitely not give it, so let's maintain the status quo.
But this is the land after all, although the tone has been laid, but in terms of details, the two sides are competing against each other, and no one is willing to back down, especially the competition for Yunzhou, which has almost reached a white-hot stage, Wanyan Zonghan is even willing to cede equal land from other states and counties in exchange, but Li Qi just refuses to agree, the geographical location of Hunyuan County is too important, as long as I occupy here, I will always be able to involve your Datong Mansion on both sides, that must not be allowed, unless you give me Pingzhou.
If Wanyan Zonghan knew that Li Qi would make such a shameless trick, he actually had no choice at the beginning, and in the situation at that time, he had to retreat behind Sang Qianhe.
It took seven days of talks before it was decided.
The Song Dynasty controlled Youzhou Yanshanfu, Yizhou, Danzhou, Shunzhou, Huanzhou, Jizhou, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, and Zhuo, Ying, and the three prefectures of Zhuo, Ying, and Mo, which were returned by the Liao State in front, a total of eleven and a half states.
In the small half of Yunzhou, Li Qi still refused to give in the slightest, so we will row the river and govern it.
Wanyan Zonghan also had no choice, because from beginning to end, any inch of land in the Yanyun region was between the two countries. There is a huge controversy, if it is really solved by reason, it should be their withdrawal, now that small area has been occupied by the Song Dynasty, of course they have the right to take it for themselves, fortunately, Datong Mansion is still in their hands, although it is harmless. But this thorn is here, always making him uncomfortable.
The Jin State is in control, Xinzhou, Wuzhou, Fuzhou, Yunzhou, Datongfu, and Ruzhou, a total of four and a half states.
Of course, most of Yunzhou is still in the hands of the Jin people. Moreover, the Jin Kingdom still controls most of the Great Wall. The Song Dynasty is still in a favorable position to attack, but the Song Dynasty also controls part of the Great Wall, and it can also send troops to the Jin Kingdom, and it will no longer be as passive as before.
Although it was divided, there were some equal exchanges of land, and most of this exchange was for the convenience of jurisdiction, and there was no dispute between the two sides.
It is bounded by Juyongguan. A field was to be built nearby for the people of both sides to trade, and neither side was to hide the other's fugitives. In addition, the boundary is as usual, and it is not allowed to build a city god.
The negotiations, which took half a month, finally came to an end, and the Song and Jin countries became brothers again, and the Jin country was a brother. The Song Dynasty is the younger brother, and even if Li Qi is eloquent in this regard, there is no way, because Zhao Kai is younger than Wan Yan Sheng, which cannot be changed.
This is the following of the Tanyuan Alliance and the Maritime Alliance, the Song Dynasty once again re-negotiated, and its criticality was no less than the previous two negotiations. Call it the Yunsang Alliance.
Both sides were also exhausted, especially Li Qi, because this negotiation was almost completed by one person, and Seed Master Dao, Yue Fei and others went up to fill the scene. If Qin Hui was here, then Li Qi would be much more relaxed.
Although there is still hostility on both sides, but in any case, since the alliance has been formed, then we should put aside our prejudices, at least on the surface, we should also be pretentious, so Li Qi made a small banquet on this ship to entertain the representatives of the negotiation, but the atmosphere of the banquet is very ordinary, after all, most of them are military generals, they have no acting skills, and they can't even say a few polite words, all relying on Li Qi and Wanyan Xiyin, two old fritters, to support the scene.
After the banquet, Li Qi was so tired that he couldn't do it, so he hurried back to the house to sleep.
It wasn't until noon on the second day that he woke up, secretly made a dish of braised fish, filled his stomach, and then went to the planter's room.
As soon as the planter opened the door, he saw that it was Li Qi, and said with a little guilt: "You woke up, I've really been suffering from you these days, but it's a pity that the old man can't help much." β
Although he is both civil and military, but his concept is completely different from Li Qi's, but where there is Li Qi's negotiation, there is generally no morality to talk about, all the talk is interests, which is also in line with the values of Jin Guo, therefore, although the teacher is full of poetry and books, but there is no place here.
"If there is no kind of public help, there will be no negotiation this time." Li Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The seed master smiled, and after inviting Li Qi in, he said, "Oh, there's a letter from Shizhong, he can arrive as early as tomorrow evening." β
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's really no better, after the old general comes, the one here can be handed over to him, I'm afraid I have to go to Yanshan Mansion." β
The planter said, "Do you want the old man to go with you?" β
Li Qi said: "I went there basically to arrange the exchange of hostages, in addition, I will tell the prefect of the Zong Sect the results of this negotiation, as for the trouble of planting a bus here, you also have to take a good rest, you are now a captain, the Sanya Forbidden Army can count on you, you must take care of your health!" β
The seed master nodded, sighed softly, but was very depressed in his heart, this opportunity has come, but he is old, which makes it difficult for him to be happy.
Li Qi glanced slightly, and understood the sadness in the heart of the seed master, and changed the topic: "By the way, seed master, do you know anything about Yelu Dashi?" β
The seed master said: "In the last time he attacked Liao, the old man fought with him once, this person is indeed very good, especially in military affairs, why do you ask this?" β
Li Qi sighed and said, "I want to see if this Yelu Dashi can be trusted." β
Seed Master Dao was slightly stunned and said, "However, now that we have formed an alliance with the Jin State, you here." β
Li Qi said with a smile: "Gong, the meaning of the alliance is to stop the two sides from clashing head-on, but secretly, everyone will play some small actions, I am now Yan Zonghan and Yelu Dashi seem to have a bit of a holiday, and they are also very jealous of Yelu Dashi, I estimate that after they go back this time, they will definitely find a way to eliminate Yelu Dashi's regime, I must stop them, at least add some trouble to them." β
This kid is really cunning. The planter shook his head and said, "This old man can't help you." In this way, on the Goryeo side, you will definitely do the same. β
Li Qi said: "Of course, I have already made arrangements on the Goryeo side. β
ps: At the end of the month, Xiaoxi didn't break his promise, and continued to watch three more, just to fight for this month's monthly pass, everyone should have a monthly pass now, hurry up and vote for the little chef.
