Chapter 710 620 War Reparations

Not a drop left?
Stop crying and be poor again, right?
Zhou Zhi smiled coldly.

They still have a little understanding of the economic situation of the Southern Song Dynasty.

right?
You are clearly still very rich. I heard that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou still has a lot of unfinished palaces. Can't the money be used to pay Daming indemnity?
Of course, considering your embarrassment, 700 million, if it is less than a penny, don't talk about it.

Shi Hao continued to cry for poverty and proposed a plan of 580 million yuan.

He hoped that Daming could take into account the difficulties of the Southern Song Dynasty. If such a large sum of money was handed over, they would have a great economic crisis and the people would suffer.

Zhou Zhi was furious when he heard this.

"A few months ago, Xin Qiji, the chief of staff of my court, visited the Southern Dynasty. He told us that he saw a large number of refugees at that time, and they were still refugees near Lin'an City. Lin'an is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Such an important place But there are refugees?

At that time, you didn't have to pay indemnities, and even the Sui Coins didn't need to be paid because Daming eliminated the Jin Kingdom. Even so, did the people's lives get better?Not really, right?Do you group of Wenqu stars really care about the lives of ordinary people?Don't lie to me!If you have money, you will only spend money on your own, who cares about the people? ! "

Zhou Zhi slapped the table in a rage, making Shi Hao feel as if he was a censor who specialized in examining corrupt officials.

But this surprise was meaningless, because Zhou Zhi still asked for money, and he insisted on the 700 million yuan.

Shi Hao had no choice but to continue to raise the price, endured the heartache and raised the price to 600 million guan, and said that this was the limit and could not be higher.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi was also relieved, and lowered the price to 650 million guan.

Shi Hao couldn't accept it, so he added another [-], and mentioned [-] million.

"Shi Xianggong, it's wrong for you to do this. My side is 50 guan, and your side is only [-] guan. What do you mean? Is the Southern Dynasty really sincere in peace talks with Daming?"

Zhou Zhixue saw that Zhou Zhi was in a bad mood, so he took over from Zhou Zhi and Shi Hao, arguing with each other.

In the end, the two sides barely reached an agreement on the figure of 620 million.

The one-time war indemnity for this war was determined to be 620 million.

Of course, this is not something that can be taken out in one go. The Southern Song Dynasty hopes to give them a little every year in five or six years, so that their finances can take a breather.

And Zhou Zhixue also immediately put forward a new request - postponement is possible, but you need to pay interest. The money that Daming should get will be delayed for a few years. It is impossible without interest. This money can be repaid in five years. A certain amount of interest must be paid every year as a late fee.

No way, what else can I do?

To be defeated by others is to be recognized.

Shi Hao decided to hold his nose and endure the humiliation.

The issue of war reparations has almost been discussed. The next issue is the issue of annual currency, the issue of ceding land, and the nominal issue between the two countries after the war. These issues involve a wide range of issues and cannot be decided by Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhixue alone.

They said that they had reported the matter to Su Yonglin and knew that they would receive new instructions soon, so they would not negotiate until then. Of course, they would not launch a military attack on Lin'an, and they also asked the Southern Song Dynasty to restrain their troops. Do not have any friction with the Ming army.

Otherwise, all consequences will be borne by the Southern Song Dynasty.

Shi Hao nodded and responded to the request of the Ming army.

When they were about to leave, Zhou Zhi stopped Shi Hao and went up to chat with him cordially.

"The army has gone through a lot of things and suffered a lot. Now that the war is over, I also need some rewards, but I don't have anything good in my hands, so I hope that the Southern Dynasty will reward the army with cattle and wine. promise?"

There was a happy smile on Zhou Zhi's face.

When Shi Hao heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Naturally, naturally, the army naturally needs to be rewarded. I'll go back to prepare, and I'll prepare..."

After returning to Lin'an City, Shi Hao brought the results of the first phase of the negotiation to Zhao Yan. Although he was mentally prepared, when Zhao Xuan knew that the Ming army wanted 1000 million yuan at the beginning, he still couldn't help but smash it. Broke the teacup in my hand.

"Too deceiving!"

"Since ancient times, the winners have always tried their best to extort the losers. The losers can only accept it, otherwise they will take greater responsibility. I also ask Your Majesty to be patient no matter what. Only patience can be exchanged for life. Just like gouging!"

Shi Hao's words were sincere.

Zhao Tan took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down his restless heart.

"I know, the next thing, please sir."

"The old minister will do his best to win the biggest concession for the Ming Kingdom for His Majesty!"

Goodbye Shi Hao.

The Southern Song Dynasty was ready to swallow the bitter fruit of this defeat, and on the other side, Su Yonglin, who was far away in the Central Capital, finally learned the result of this war.

After the war began, people kept sending reports of frontline battles back to the rear. Su Yonglin was not worried about the army's battle situation, because in his opinion, the infantry of the Southern Song Dynasty was far from being an opponent of the Ming army.

Those [professional soldiers] in the Southern Song army who gamble and drink are more professional than fighting. Of course, they are good players when it comes to gambling and drinking. When it comes to fighting, they are all laymen.

The only thing he worried about was the navy, because the navy in the Southern Song Dynasty was still professional.

But he did not expect that this time the Ming army navy was so good, defeating many fleets of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even destroying the main fleet of the Southern Song Dynasty, destroying all the Mingzhou navy.

This is enough to prove that the Ming army navy has developed the ability to dominate East Asia. It is not difficult to continue to develop and completely crush the naval forces of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This is indeed a happy event.

Of course, the victory of the navy did not stop there. According to the battle report, the navy also destroyed several important salt fields along the coast of the Southern Song Dynasty, blocked Suzhou Ocean, detained all merchant ships, and obtained all commodity rights as trophies. This severely damaged the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The blow to salt and commerce was perhaps more unbearable to the Southern Song Dynasty than the military blow.

There is nothing to say about the war situation of the army.

The only troop of the Song army that could dare to confront the Ming army head-on was Liu Qi's subordinates, but Liu Qi tried his best and failed to stop the Ming army from heading south. What is the impact of the bureau.

After this battle, the main force of the army in the Jianghuai theater of the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the main force of the navy was destroyed, the military strength suffered heavy losses, and an entire theater was abolished.

The 5 troops of Jiankang Mansion, the 5 troops of Zhenjiang Mansion, and about 16 troops of the Forbidden Army, although the establishment may not be complete, but on the surface, the Ming Army wiped out the army with [-] horse infantry forces. The Song Army's [-]-strong army drove straight into the land of no one, which can be called an absolute victory.

The Song army suffered heavy losses, and the loss of military power in a war zone would not be recovered in five or six years.

Su Yonglin can be sure that after this battle, the Southern Song Dynasty's military strength was greatly damaged, and it was basically unable to stop the Ming army from moving south, and it was difficult to strongly prevent the internal development of the Fuxing Association. This would create a good opportunity for the Renaissance to blossom everywhere in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The death knell of the Southern Song Dynasty has already sounded. As for when it will be completely buried in the ground, it depends on how much people who want it to continue to live are willing to spend.

In other respects, Su Yonglin was surprised by Zhao Gou's abdication and Zhao Tan's succession at the speed of light.

To say Zhao Gou, that is a real dog.

Su Yonglin could see that Zhao Gou was bound to abdicate after this battle, and Zhao Tan was bound to rise, so he felt that Zhao Gou should abdicate after he was defeated and signed a treaty, put all the blame on his back, and created a good situation for Zhao Tan. political environment.

In the end, he didn't expect Zhao Gou to be such a dog. Facing the intrusion of the Ming army, he not only ran away, but also simply threw the throne to Zhao Tan, letting Zhao Tan take the blame and fleeing happily.

To be honest, when encountering such a top-notch former emperor, the new emperor must want to scold him [-] words.

Even in this state, you still don't take the blame and step down, and you still throw the blame directly... You really don't want to let the Southern Song Dynasty continue, right?
Looking at this report, Su Yonglin was speechless.
