Qiming 1158

Chapter 712 Minguo is delusional!

When he said the words to clear them all, Tian Guizi's tone was very firm.

It was obvious that he really thought so.

Whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, whether it is the main war faction or the main peace faction, whether it is sympathetic to the people at the bottom or not, as long as it is not a fellow traveler, it must be liquidated, and none will remain.

In this regard, Su Yonglin supports it. After the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, there will definitely be a wave of clear and complete liquidation, and no liquidation will not be enough to establish a new system and a new future.

But Su Yonglin did not think that there was only one Xin Qiji among the Confucian students in the world.

Because of those outstanding people who brought Huaxia back from the brink of destruction and gave it hope of rebirth, quite a few were also educated in more rigid Confucian ideology.

But they can still wake up.

When they see the purgatory on earth, when they come to the crossroads of history, when they come into contact with new ideas, there will be a force that pushes them, whether to accept the change and move towards a new life, or follow the old era completely be buried.

There will always be people who doubt the old era and the old system, but at the beginning they didn't have a guiding ideology, they didn't know how to act, they couldn't wake up, they were confined to traditional thinking and couldn't get out of it.

And once they have a guiding ideology beyond that...

Xin Qiji was reborn, Zhao Yucheng was reborn, and thousands of Renaissance members were reborn.

Su Yonglin still has a somewhat idealistic style of behavior, such as his expectations for the future and moving forward without hesitation.

Although his methods are very harsh and decisive, he believes that without idealists and idealism, this real world will only continue to degenerate, and it will fall into the abyss and cannot extricate itself.

It is precisely because of the struggles of idealists who seem ridiculous and unacceptable to the real world that this supposedly degenerate world is born alive.

Just as Su Yonglin saw that faint ray of hope in the mist that was almost impossible to capture.

The current Ming Kingdom is a country of hope cast by the light of ideals. In this country of hope, there should be ideals and hopes, not just a cold reckoning.

Tian Guizi reflects Su Yonglin's deepest coldness and cruelty towards the enemy, and with Tian Guizi, Su Yonglin's own ideals can shine brightly.

Of course, Su Yonglin can see hope, while Zhao Tan can only see despair.

Su Yonglin's many requests and suggestions on the negotiation soon arrived at Lin'an City through alternate transportation by water and land, and were handed over to front-line generals and secretaries such as Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhixue.

After reading Su Yonglin's instructions and the fundamental purpose of this negotiation, they unified their understanding and informed the Southern Song side of the relevant requirements, allowing them to discuss for a while, and then come to the Ming army camp to negotiate after they have negotiated.

And seeing the many terms of the surrender conditions demanded by the Ming army, Zhao Tan's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

When he finally stabilized his emotions, he could hardly bear the anger in his heart, so he almost did not immediately order the defenders in the city to attack and fight the Ming army to the death.

Even if you want war reparations, you still need year-old coins.

Even if you want New Year coins, you have to cut the land.

Even if it is necessary to cede the land, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has to declare himself a minister to the Ming Kingdom!

Promise!

"Impossible! Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for me to be a minister! It is impossible to cede territory! The entire East Huainan Road? Impossible! Ming Kingdom is delusional! Delusional!!!"

Zhao Tan yelled at the Zaifu meeting, smashed the table and smashed the bench, and shattered several tea bowls, which frightened the eunuchs in the palace to tremble, for fear of being implicated by the emperor's anger.

Tang Si Tui and Shen Gai, who had not reacted very well before, did not dare to speak, and did not know how to maintain their position on this matter so as not to be settled by the Emperor Qiuhou.

Anyway, they must not dare to say that the emperor must agree to all the requirements of the Ming Kingdom, especially the statement of being a minister to the Ming Empire, although they really want to promote peace.

In the same way, Shi Hao felt that he could not accept all of the four requirements of the Ming Dynasty.

Indemnity and annual coins are conditions that Shi Hao thinks are acceptable.

Although it is difficult for him to accept the ceding of land, it is not impossible to discuss if the Ming Kingdom has many demands. In exchange for peace, it is not impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty to have a chance to breathe.

But the lions of the Ming Dynasty opened their mouths, and once they opened their mouths, they wanted the entire eight state capitals on Huainan East Road, with a population of 80. This is a bit like slaughtering the Southern Song Dynasty as a pig, which is too much.

This one is too much to be called a minister.

The Southern Song Dynasty had just come out of the humiliation of being a minister to the Jin Kingdom, and now it is about to go back to the same place. This is really a serious blow to the national character of the Southern Song Dynasty and the personality of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty.

They can't accept it.

After Zhao Tan and Shi Hao clarified the maximum acceptable conditions for the Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Hao decided to send another mission to the Ming army camp.

The day after receiving the note from the Ming army, Shi Hao once again came to the Ming army camp to negotiate with Zhou Zhi and the commander of the Mingnan expedition led by Zhou Zhixue.

"The requirements of the Northern Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has already understood, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is not happy with the many requirements of the Northern Dynasty. He has put forward four requirements in a row, and the Northern Dynasty has too much appetite."

This time Shi Hao came up and fired at Su Yonglin's four requirements.

Zhou Zhixue is diametrically opposed to this.

"When President Xin went south, there was only Suibi's request, but the Southern Dynasty did not agree. Daming had no choice but to decide to go to war. If it is wrong, this is also the fault of the Southern Dynasty. What Daming needs now is the victory. There is no problem. All four of these must be agreed, otherwise the negotiation will be impossible."

Shi Hao was not to be outdone.

"Is it the right decision for the Northern Dynasty to ask the Song Dynasty for a year's coin for no reason?"

Zhou Zhixue sneered.

"That was to renovate the Yellow River, and the complete collapse of the Yellow River was caused by the Southern Dynasty... Shi Xianggong, let's not discuss this issue any more, let's continue our original topic!"

Zhou Zhixue saw that Shi Hao seemed to want to debate the issue of the Yellow River, and immediately interrupted Shi Hao's spellcasting.

Shi Hao's spellcasting was interrupted, and his face was full of unhappiness, but as the representative of the defeated party, he could not refute the victor's request.

So the formal negotiations began.

The formal process must be to seek common ground while reserving differences, so the two sides first negotiated the issue of war reparations.

There is no problem with the compensation of 620 million guan, and it has been recognized by the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, the first of the four requirements has been recognized by both parties and is acceptable.

Then the next step is the second paragraph. The Ming Dynasty required the Southern Song Dynasty to provide yearly coins worth 30 taels of silver and 30 pieces of silk cloth every year, and they would be delivered to the border areas of the two sides for delivery every year.

For this request, Shi Hao thought it was too difficult for the Southern Song Dynasty.

"The war has seriously injured Da Song, and the 620 million yuan has already hurt Da Song's muscles and bones, and 30 taels of silver and 30 bolts of silk cloth are still too heavy for Da Song, almost unaffordable Yes, do the Northern Dynasties want to watch the Great Song Dynasty fall apart?"

Zhou Zhixue did not intend to give in at all.

"You gave Jin Guo so many years of coins, and you didn't see you fall apart."

"That's different!"

"Why is it different? Didn't the Jin Kingdom also hand over the coin to the Southern Dynasty after it went south to loot and destroy it? The Southern Dynasty was not the same as the year before the previous year? Besides, the Ming army did not burn, kill or loot when it went south, strictly restrained military discipline and treated the people of the Southern Dynasty. Wouldn't it be better than Jin Guo if there were no invasions other than war?"

Zhou Zhixue's remarks left Shi Hao speechless.

Indeed, Zhou Zhi's theory is very reasonable. To say that the damage caused by the Jin Kingdom to the Southern Song Dynasty in those days, it must be far greater than the damage caused by the Ming army now.

Not to mention that the Jin army went all the way south to burn, kill, and loot, not only asking for year-old coins and war reparations, but also looting and robbing an unknown number of people who went north to become slaves.

In contrast, the Ming army strictly restrained military discipline. Apart from the war, they did not do more damage to the Southern Song Dynasty, did not burn houses, plunder the people, and did not destroy the fields.

All the way to the south, the people in the areas occupied by the Ming army were not harmed, but the Ming army maintained order and ensured their daily life and the normal operation of the city.

It seems that they are marching and fighting just to achieve strategic goals. The army is very obedient, obedient to an unbelievable level, and they can do whatever they want.

Is there such an army in the world?
