Chapter 362: Mid-Autumn Night, Wolf Killing Banquet (6)

Family cards, lure cards and a coercive hand that is hard enough.

Liu Xing firmly believed that the cards he held in his hands were enough to make Jiagu Xie Nu have all the strength to parry, and he could only obey obediently.

The facts were not expected by Liu Xing, and after hearing the words of his favorite daughter, who acted as a lobbyist, Jiagu Xie Nu quickly gave up the idea of sticking to the Jurchen national tradition and preserving the Jurchen nation.

He quickly finished reading the "Strategy" with a sense of helplessness, selfishness, and infinite reverie.

After putting down the strategy, Jiagu Xie Nu immediately raised a new question: "First of all, as written in this strategy, the border area between our Great Yan State and Jin State and Song State is a joint garrison defense area of Song and Yan. This seems to be a discord, right? Secondly, since I was not asked to be the emperor, why did I stipulate that one-fifth of the annual tax of the Great Yan Kingdom should be paid into the Huaxia Alliance to be established in the future? Third, why should the trade between the two countries be dominated by the Song Dynasty and supplemented by the Yan, which seems too unreasonable. ”

Hearing these three questions raised by Jiagu Xie Nu, Liu Xing smiled faintly and said, "Dare to ask General Xie Nu, what kind of specialties are there here in the hometown of Yanmen?" No, it seems that if you simply count on the output here, you can't even feed 100,000 soldiers and horses, and 500,000 people. Under this premise, is it reasonable for you to say that the commerce and trade between the two countries will not allow me to be supplemented by the Great Song Dynasty? ”

After a slight pause, Liu Xing leisurely stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth.

After eating, Liu Xing continued: "In the future, the Huaxia Alliance, not only your Great Yan Kingdom, but also my Great Song Dynasty will also pay one-tenth of the tax every year. The alliance needs a strong army, and even more so, a strong bureaucracy. These are all expenses, and they can't be maintained by irregular donations from various countries every year, right? ”

Stopped talking for the second time. Liu Xing's face became a little darker. Then he said: "If you don't let me send troops and horses to the border area of your future Great Yan Kingdom for a long time. Once played, Western Xia and even the northern Mongols came over. General Xie Nu, isn't it that I despise you, and with the soldiers and horses under your command now, can you really resist it? ”

"This, this, this ......"

was asked by Liu Xing one after another, and Jiagu Xie Nu was suddenly speechless again.

He knew very well in his heart that what Liu Xing said was true, and it was really difficult to feed 1670,000 soldiers and horses in Xijing, an already barren land, not to mention the people who would definitely increase rapidly.

There were no specialties and no strong commercial system, and Xijing Prefecture used to rely on the Dajin State to allocate money to maintain local stability. This first made Xie Nu lose his right to speak in the border trade affairs between the two countries in the future......

An alliance, an alliance in the form of a fixed existence, must have a governing body that is above the imperial courts and even monarchs of various countries, and a body capable of powering the world. Against the intimidation of countries, a strong army that can sweep away countries can be used as a guarantee.

All of this requires money, and a lot of money is needed to ensure the long-term and stable development of such an alliance, rather than the precarious relationship between the vassal states and the suzerain, as in the past.

At this point, Xie Nu realized that the existence of such an alliance was actually a good thing for all countries, and he lost another opportunity to refute Liu Xing......

In terms of the most important military strength, Jiagu Xie Nu also knew that the army under his command that seemed to have a lot of men and horses was actually some remnants of defeated soldiers who had already been beaten by Liu Xing and had no fighting spirit, and they were a group of out-and-out mourning soldiers.

The soldiers. Not to mention facing the powerful armies of the Great Song and Dajin. Even against the Western Xia people, and against the Mongols, whose strength should not be underestimated despite the melee, I am afraid that they will inevitably lose more and win less.

Count on those soldiers and horses to protect the Great Yan Kingdom. It was a fool's dream, and Xie Nu himself didn't dare to expect too much and have too many fantasies.

In such a situation where strong enemies are surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, it is undoubtedly the best choice to have a backer with sharp firearms and a wide range of soldiers like the Great Song Dynasty, and let this backer stand directly in front of the stage to help the newly established Dayan State......

These are all good calculations made by Liu Xing a long time ago, if he wants to dig a pit and bury people, and wants to recover the hometown of Yanmen at the lowest cost, Liu Xing will not let himself make any mistakes.

This is also destined to Xie Nu can only continue to be led by Liu Xing's nose like a cow, and there is absolutely no chance to break free or refute.

Xie Nu, who completely lost any opportunity to refute, quickly chose to give up resistance completely in the following negotiations, and Liu Xing accepted a series of conditions offered by Liu Xing at the master's disposal.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty is already stationed on other people's territory, what conditions will Liu Xing propose?

First, the reopening of the field was led by the Great Song Dynasty, and the merchants participating in the business activities of the Rongchang in the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom must be issued a license by the Salt and Iron Division of the Great Song Dynasty before they can carry out business activities.

Otherwise, all of them will be regarded as operating without a license, and the Song and Yan countries can seize the goods at any time, and even arrest the businessmen who engage in unlicensed operations, remove them, and be criminally liable and fined up to 50 times.

The concept of a business license became widely known in later generations. Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, it has never officially appeared.

In today's era, the Great Song Dynasty has the right to operate a certain special product, but it is the first time that Liu Xing has used all the businesses in the border trade field.

Liu Xing is to use this means to firmly grasp the access permission of the border trade field, so as to control the future operation of the Yanmen hometown in the Great Song Dynasty has absolute dominance;

Second, Xie Nu immediately and unconditionally released all the Han Chinese who were escorted to the hometown of Yanmen, whether military or civilian, and returned them to the Great Song Dynasty in batches and in installments.

In order to express his appreciation for Xie Nu's move, and in order to help Xie Nu quickly have the foundation for the founding of the country, Liu Xing was willing to pay him a batch of grain and grass as compensation.

Third, in terms of education and culture in the future Great Yan Kingdom, we must first accept the "supervision" of the Great Song Dynasty. Liu Xing assigned the two positions of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Priest of the Liquor of the Guozi of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the subordinate yamen of these two functions were responsible for establishing a three-level basic education system for the Great Yan Kingdom: primary school, middle school, and university.

However, the Great Yan Kingdom was only allowed to establish one university hall, the Cloud University Hall. The selection of professors, the school system, and the subjects must all obey the "guidance" of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty and the Guozijian.

Finally, the future mines of the Great Yan Kingdom must only be exploited and operated in cooperation with the Great Song Dynasty, and the Salt and Iron Division of the Great Song Dynasty shall be the mainstay, supplemented by the Salt and Iron Division of the Yan Kingdom.

How to use the obtained minerals also has to be decided by Liu Xing. If Xie Nu wants to use it, he can only apply for it to the Great Song Salt and Iron Division, and Liu Xing will approve it in person. (To be continued......)
