Chapter 15 Riding the Wall

An error occurred while processing s private file

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the Jin envoy arrived in Runzhou, and Yang Pu and Wuyan arrived again.

This time, Yang Pu's attitude was different. His mission was to marry. However, in addition to discussing marriage and agreeing to the date of wedding, the most important thing was to recruit and recruit.

The emperor of the Jin Kingdom granted Li Hu the title of King of Han, which is the King of Han in Liaodong. The titles of King of Han, King Xi, King Wei, and King Bohai are the same. In a sense, the tribal king is actually a vassal state and has its own military and financial powers. In other words, the Jin Kingdom officially recognized Li Hu's identity as king and took his army and territory into his pocket.

Generally speaking, the princesses of tribal kings are all from their own tribes. In this way, there is a reason why the princess of the Jin Kingdom cannot marry the Han King as their wife, and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom has face.

The Jurchens exchanged a princess for more than 100,000 troops of Liaodong Rebel Army and Liaoxi and Pingzhou. This transaction is too cost-effective. Let's not talk about it.

Yang Pu and Wuyan smiled bitterly and said speechlessly. Before they came, they knew the result. The Jin Dynasty emperor Lion spoke loudly and asked for a price everywhere, without reason. He didn't think about it. Is there anyone who can get such a cheap one in the world? If the Jurchens fucked the Liao Dynasty and replaced it, they had an absolute advantage over Li Hu. Of course, they could use this condition to recruit people, but in fact, this is not the case. At present, the Jin Dynasty still cannot eat the Liaodong rebel army in one bite, and both sides need each other. Doing so will only push Li Hu into the arms of the Liao people.

Why did the Emperor of Jin dare to do this? It's very simple. The enemy of the Liaodong rebel army was the Khitans. Li Hu would never betray the Khitans and then throw himself into the arms of the Khitans and be the Khitan dog. However, Li Hu's current situation is not good, his territory is larger, his population is larger, and his army is more difficult to survive. Li Hu's current situation is the same as when the Jurchens defeated the Bohai people and occupied Tokyo. It takes time to stabilize everything, but unfortunately he has no time. Whether it is the Khitans or the Jurchens, they are trying every means to defeat their opponents, and Li Hu, who is enough to affect the fate of Liaodong, cannot stay out of it, so his only way is to agree to the conditions of the Jin Dynasty and become the Han tribe of the Jin Dynasty.

The Emperor of Jin and Bo Jilie thought things too simple, and they would never dream of it. The people of the Song Dynasty were helping Li Hu.

Huang She stayed.

After an agreement, the General's Office decided that for its own survival and development, the diplomatic strategy adopted by the Rebels in the future was to "mount a fence". To put it bluntly, it was a fence-between. The three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Jin were engaged in exchanges and maximizing interests. I have the capital now, so I can clearly mark the price for myself. If anyone is willing to buy it, please give me the money, otherwise, there will be no talks.

The essence of the "fence-riding" strategy is survival. For survival, you can get along with others and no one can offend him. So Huang She stayed and looked embarrassed, as if she was neither willing to turn against him nor sell him at a low price.

"Your second prince and our general commander have always kept letters and exchanges with each other," Huang She said. "At the end of last year, they met in Xianzhou. At that time, the second prince was very clear and wanted to marry. The condition was that we maintained an offensive against Yanjing and helped the Jin army occupy Shangjing. Why did you go back on your word and change your mind after a year?"

When Yang Pu saw that there was a room, Huang She spoke in this tone. Obviously, there was room for negotiation. He immediately put aside the marriage and directly discussed the conditions for cooperation between the two parties.

After some bargaining, the two sides agreed that in addition to maintaining the border, the Jin Dynasty completely liberalized the Tokyo market, so that the rebel army could obtain some war materials. The rebel army maintained its offensive against Yanjing and waited for an opportunity to attack, thus effectively restraining the main force of the Liao army.

Yang Pu was very satisfied. Although the marriage and the requisition failed, he at least received the promise of the rebels to attack Yanjing. In this way, the Jin army could attack Shangjing after the beginning of spring.-

In addition to Han, there were two other envoys from the Liao Kingdom. One was Li Shuang, the chief minister of Yelu Chundi, and the other was Li (sh), the son of Li Chuwen, the prime minister of the Southern Prefecture.

The Emperor of Liao was still in Xijing and was reluctant to return to Yanjing for a long time. All state affairs were entrusted to Yelu Chun. However, Yelu Chun had to resign because of his defeat in Pingzhou Road and put Yanjing in danger. The emperor agreed. However, he did not remove Yelu Chun from his official position, but he took away the power of Yelu Chun's regent. As for state affairs, he entrusted to the prime minister of the north and south prefectures.

The prime ministers of the Southern Prefecture were Zhang Lin and Li Chuwen, who both advocated the pacification, while the prime ministers of the Northern Prefecture were Xiao Degong and Xiao Yixue. Xiao Degong was in charge of the military in Zhongjing. Xiao Yixue also agreed to the pacification proposal, considering the actual situation of the Southeast Road.

The last time he recruited the rebel army, the emperor made a series of short promises, and Li Hu also made a false promise, and took the opportunity to seize Pingzhou Road. This time, the emperor's mind became a little clearer and knew that Li Hu was getting more and more powerful. He continued to fight with him, which would benefit the Liao Dynasty without any harm. So he asked him to accept the suggestions of several prime ministers and gave generous conditions for recruitment.

The Emperor of Liao Dynasty granted Li Hu the title of King of Han.

This Han King is not a false title, but a tribal king, a king of the Han people. In Liaodong, the Han people have a large population, and the Han people have a southern official management system, so there is no king or a royal palace. This time, due to facts, the emperor had no choice but to imitate the method of managing the various foreign countries and appointed Li Hu as the King of Han, and established the King of Han, and the Han Palace was located in Jinzhou. As for the prefectures and counties owned by the Liaodong army, they are all affiliated with the King of Han Palace and managed by the King of Han Palace.

"Your Majesty said that if the Han King can recover Tokyo, then the Han Prince's Mansion can be moved to Tokyo in the future, and the prefectures and counties near Tokyo are all affiliated with the Han Prince's Mansion." Han said, "This condition is already the limit that Your Majesty can give to the Chief General. Please consider it carefully."

Li Hu was angry when he heard this. Zhi Niang thief, the Jurchens wanted to get a bargain, while the Khitans regarded the Han people in Liaodong as the British tribe. This was outrageous. "Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Han people. In this area, the Han people are orthodox, and the Khitan people are the British tribe. Please clarify this issue and then come to talk to me." Li Hu shook his hand and left again, not to talk.

Huang She would still stay and continue to talk.

"This condition is indeed very good, which shows His Majesty's sincerity in admonition. However, we Han people are orthodox, and this must not be used for a transaction." Huang Sheyi said sternly, and then changed the subject immediately. "However, as far as the current situation is concerned, we do hope to find a way out."

Han, Li Shuang and Li immediately heard the trick. Li Hu and the rebels obviously had difficulties in survival. They wanted to recruit them, but how to recruit them and when to obtain the best benefits are also the issue they are considering.

Huang She continued: "It is very simple to be entrusted by Your Majesty and we are entrusted by this principle, but under the current circumstances, we lack the most basic condition for entrusting and responsiveness, that is trust. Your Majesty does not trust us, and we do not trust His Majesty, so our top priority is to build trust."

Han asked hurriedly: "What are the suggestions of Brother Yao?"

"If you don't hit me, I won't hit you." Huang She smiled. "We maintain a tacit understanding, which can help us build trust, and then we will talk about pleading, which will be much simpler."

The three envoys were overjoyed when they heard this. Their purpose was to try to stop the rebels from continuing to attack Yanjing by recruiting pacification. In the future, if the Liao army and the rebels can maintain a tacit understanding and do not attack each other, the Liao army can then concentrate their efforts against the Jurchens and avoid fighting on both sides.

Huang She's suggestions were in line with the interests of the Great Liao, and were something that the Great Liao wanted. However, Li Hu was a cunning and greedy big insect. Since he made this suggestion, of course there were conditions. If other conditions were not met, the consequences would be self-evident.

"We maintain tacit understanding to build trust, but trust is obviously not enough by tacit understanding alone. It requires exchange of interests." Huang She smiled, "You also know that everything has its pros and cons. Although our Liaodong Rebel Army has territory and many troops, the problem that comes with it is that it is getting more and more tight. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can open up the cities of Zhongjing and Yanjing to us and allow merchants to leave freely

Huang She looked at the three of them and continued: "We have a sea route back to Yi. If this sea route is connected with Zhongjing and Yanjing, it can not only help us alleviate the crisis, but also increase the financial resources of the Great Liao area. This is beneficial to both sides, why not do it?"

This is a mutually beneficial transaction, and Daliao can fully satisfy it, so Han agreed immediately.

The two sides immediately discussed the details.

South Korea asked the rebel army to make a promise to never take the initiative to attack Zhongjing and Yanjing, while Huang She insisted on making an attacking position.

Huang She has reason. We do not have trust at the moment. In order to prevent it, the rebel army will definitely make an attack. "When you open up the markets of Zhongjing and Yanjing, the two sides have Huiyi exchanges and get benefits from Huiyi, and then they can have trust. This is obvious."

The reason why Huang She insisted on making an attacking position was to fool the Jurchens, and it was also an explanation to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. If you gave me 200,000 yuan of assistance, I would make an attacking position and exchange it in an equivalent manner.

The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was very satisfied. The purpose of this trip was achieved. As long as both sides established Huiyi, there would be no war in Youyan in the future. Huiyi was also an unexpected surprise for the Liao people, because the treasury of the Great Liao Kingdom was already empty, and it would be a good thing if the Huiyi could increase the income of some commercial taxes through Huiyi.
