The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

"The female official of the Song Dynasty asked me, Dajin, to promise three things so that the two countries could be reconciled." Wanyan Zongwang bowed.

Wanyan Sheng snorted coldly and asked: "Promise? Cut off territory? Pay compensation?"

Before Wanyan Zongwang could speak, some ministers in the palace began to shout: "Fart! What a dream! Ever since Taizu's rebellion, my country, Dajin, has never experienced such humiliation. Even if we use the strength of the whole country, we have to fight to the death with the Song people. Don't let me Dajin knelt down and worshiped the people of Song Dynasty!"

The first generation of any dynasty did not lick the blood with a knife and kill them all the way. Even if their heads were cut off and blood flowed, they would never do such a groveling thing!
These indignant people are almost all Jurchens.

Most of the ministers who surrendered to the Liao Dynasty bowed their heads and remained silent.

Some people with high authority who had to speak carefully tried to test: "This is not impossible. As long as we stabilize the court and wait for changes, there will still be opportunities in the future..."

For these fence-sitters, as long as they can keep their own glory and wealth, who can they be slaves to?
Anyway, what you cut off is not your own land, and what you pay for compensation is not your own money.

The two waves of people in Mingde Hall instantly started a quarrel.

"You may want to listen to what I have to say!" Wanyan Zongwang shouted: "That female official in the Song Dynasty did not ask for vassalage, land cession, or compensation!"

Wanyan Sheng was stunned and said, "Tell me, what does she want?"

Wanyan Zongwang bowed again and said: "One: Commerce! Two: Harmony! Three: Send Wanyan Dan to Kaifeng as a pledge!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the hall.

Everyone is looking at each other.

Wanyan Sheng suddenly stood up from the dragon chair: "That's it?"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "That's it!"

Wanyan Sheng put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in front of the dragon chair, thinking quickly in his mind.

What he was calculating was not the terms of the peace talks, but whether Wanyan Zongwang had surrendered to the enemy?

He still could not accept that the invincible Jin army would be completely defeated. Even if the Song people had any firearms, Wanyan Sheng could not imagine what they were and how powerful they were.

It’s no wonder that before the atomic bomb was born, if you told Xiaozi that two shells would kill you, Xiaozi would never believe it. Who the hell are you trying to scare?

Wanyan Sheng still felt that the defeat in this battle must be caused by someone inside.

And this inner ghost is most likely the second prince, Wanyan Zongwang.

It's just that there is no real evidence now, and the second prince is of Taizu's flesh and blood, so it is difficult to judge the crime.

When Wanyan Zongwang said just now that he had negotiated peace with the female officials of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Sheng was still thinking that if he really surrendered, ceded land, and paid compensation, then the mole would undoubtedly be Wanyan Zongwang.

But these three peace negotiation conditions sound... at least they don't harm the fundamental interests of the Jin Kingdom.

This put Wanyan Sheng in a difficult position.

"Jehovah, what do you think of these three conditions?" Wanyan Sheng suddenly stopped and looked at Jelvho inside the temple.

Yeluhua thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Song and Liao have been doing business for hundreds of years, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Wanyan Zongwang added: "It is not a trade like opening up the market, but trade throughout the territory. Even Huining Mansion must allow Song Dynasty merchants to purchase and trade."

Yeluhua was stunned and murmured: "What if there are people from the Song Dynasty among these businessmen who are doing fine work?"

Wanyan Zongwang replied: "I thought about this on the way back. It is not impossible, but as long as we strengthen our defense, it is not impossible to solve it. If it is found that there are people from the Song Dynasty who are doing something careful, we can kill them."

Yeluhua nodded. He had been in the Liao Dynasty for many years. There was really no way to avoid these meticulous things. He could only catch one and kill each one. The Song and Liao countries also tacitly understood each other: "Well, people in the Song Dynasty can invest in gold and engage in business. Can people also enter the Song Dynasty to do business?"

"The female official said that Kaifeng is inclusive and welcomes everyone!"

Everyone in the hall was happy when they heard this.

That being said, that's fair!It’s just that these Jurchens, including the Liao ministers who surrendered to Liao and paid gold, still don’t have any market economy thinking, so they can’t imagine that this seemingly fair opening is actually a plunder of the commercially developed party from the backward commercial party. and exploitation.Otherwise, do you really think that the market access system and local business protection system of later generations are just a decoration?
What's even more frightening is that it's not just the plunder of wealth. What Zhao Fujin ultimately wants is the resources in the Northeast, especially strategic resources such as coal and iron.

With the current productivity of the Song Dynasty, if they want to fully implement firearms and equip a team that can go south to the sea and colonize the Western Hemisphere, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the current output of coal, iron and other minerals within the Song Dynasty.

But if Ma stepped into Huining Mansion and completely took over the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, the cost would be too high.

Letting the Jin State pay management costs while the Song Dynasty seizes resources through commerce and trade would get twice the result with half the effort.

That's why Zhao Fujin told Wanyan Zongwang that a fragmented Jin Kingdom was not in the interests of the Song Dynasty.

"I can't say much about Helu, because there is no precedent and it is unheard of." Jelvhua himself couldn't figure out why the Song Dynasty wanted Helu.

"Your Majesty, can I say a few words?" Wanyan Zongxian suddenly said.

Wanyan Sheng raised his hand: "Speak!"

Wanyan Zongxian said: "We have been in Jin Dynasty for many years, but the laws are still incomplete. However, the Song Dynasty has been in existence for a hundred years, and it has inherited the laws of governing the country that the Han people have used for thousands of years. Imitate them, learn from them, and follow them, which is beneficial and harmless."

Wanyan Sheng thought for a moment and sighed: "When I asked God of Grain to practice the law before, God of Grain also said the same."

Wanyan Zongxian nodded lightly: "In this case, this second condition can also be agreed, there is nothing wrong with it."

Wanyan Sheng frowned and said, "But Song people, why do you do this?"

Wanyan Sheng, who was already suspicious, didn't know why Zhao Fujin was acting like this, but he always felt that something was wrong, but the civil and military officials of the court couldn't tell what was wrong.

Not to mention the Jin people, even Li Gang, the leader of the Song Dynasty, once asked Zhao Fujin why he offered such a painless condition to the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Fujin didn't say much, but just said something that made Li Gang confused and ponder for a long time: "Law can best shape social consciousness, and social consciousness will affect social existence. It won't be long before there is any difference between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. Let's go to sea together." Isn’t it bad to cause trouble?”

As for the third condition, send Wanyan Quan to Kaifeng as a pledge.

The golden man who is good at kidnapping is too familiar, and there is nothing to discuss.

Wanyan Sheng was secretly glad that he wanted a grandchild?

"There is one more thing. Although the female official did not mention it, I think it is better for us to be more knowledgeable." Wanyan Zongwang said with a bitter smile: "The sixteen states of Yanyun should belong to the Song Dynasty."

Mingde Hall, which had been calm before, started to become noisy again.

"Why? The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was snatched from the Liao Kingdom by us, and it does not belong to the Song people. Why should it belong to her?"

The Jurchen ministers scolded: "So your second prince is waiting here?"

Wanyan Zongwang smiled bitterly: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, which Song Dynasty emperor has not wanted to take back the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. Emperor Daojun did not hesitate to turn against the Liao Dynasty for the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. The female official must also have this intention. Instead of letting the Song army go north to press the border, It is better to return the property to its original owner.”

"Second Prince, this is wrong with you. No one even mentioned it, but you are here thinking about others?" There was another round of joking curses.

Wanyan Sheng raised his hand: "Zong Wang, if the female official of Song Dynasty really wanted it, why didn't she mention it to you?"

Wanyan Zongwang sighed: "There are some words that she should not be able to say. Once she says them, the Song Dynasty court will break its trust."

Wanyan Sheng was confused: "Why?"

"The one who wins Yanyun is the king!"

Wanyan Sheng thought for a while and understood the logic. Zhao Fujin didn't want to be crowned king, but she couldn't ask for the return of the Jin Kingdom. If she did, Song Chen would think that the court would not keep its words, and she could obviously make contributions. , but the officials did not give him a chance.

But she didn't speak, and Jin Guo took the initiative to return it, so it was not a matter of her not giving him a chance.

If she didn't speak and the Jin Kingdom didn't understand, there would be nothing they could do. They should send their troops northward anyway.

"Hmph, the second prince is actually a member of that female official's family in the Song Dynasty." Wanyan Sheng sneered through gritted teeth. (End of chapter)
