    Chapter 278 Non-stop Zhao Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to ask them to give up their military power. It may be even harder to mix the Khitans and Han people." "Your Majesty, this kind of negotiation is a negotiation at the same time. Tell them the facts.  "If we don't talk about it, we won't have the capital to talk about it soon." Ouyang said: "Moreover, we can't rule out that they are using a delaying strategy, so we have to fight and talk. But in my opinion, they should be sincere to break through so quickly."  Huanglong Mansion was completely beyond the Khitan people's expectations. Almost the entire main force of the Song Army could go north to attack Tokyo at any time. "Excluding the second-line troops, the three lines of regular army totaled more than 600,000, which is quite terrifying.  number.  Before Zhao Yu came to power, the total number of forbidden troops in the country was only 500,000, which was only 30% of Liao's military strength.  "Well, that makes sense." Ouyang asked carefully: "Your Majesty doesn't want Wei Chen to go to Huanglong Mansion again, right?" Zhao Yu smiled and didn't answer. It seemed that she was in a good mood: "Three days ago, you were on the way  At that time, Zhang Jun sent a surrender letter from the Jurchens. Their conditions were very generous, and they only asked for Wanyan Wu to be crowned king. Then the Jurchens would govern themselves in the north of Huanglong Mansion. The form also said that they could give up military power.  "No," Ouyang said, "They must be eliminated." Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Why are there such big differences in attitudes between the Khitans on one side and the Jurchens on the other?" "Your Majesty, most Khitans are not different from the Han people."  Although they also herd cattle, their main food was farming. The Khitan people were greatly influenced by Confucianism. The Khitan and Han people had the same language. Moreover, their superiors were incompetent and did not have much ambition. The people also forgot about nomadic herding.  Although there are still some nomadic habits, everyone believes that nomadicism is no longer the main economic support. They are more willing to build houses and buy land. In the occupied areas, the Khitan people are more cooperative and kind.  It is said that there is little relationship between being ruled by the Song Dynasty and being ruled by the Liao Dynasty. Some people even think that the Song people can bring prosperity and are welcoming to the Song people. "Ouyang said again: "But looking at the Jurchens, they are completely opposite.  The most important one is the Huanglong Mansion. The Jurchen language and Chinese are not fluent, and only one of the thousands of Jurchens can speak Chinese. They have no other way to survive except nomadic life.  As for abandoning the army, it is even more absurd. Their army is a people, and the people are also an army. They have all the weapons needed by the nomads. As long as someone calls them, the people will become even more bitter and cold. The Jurchens have a stoic temperament.  They would be willing to surrender to other tribes, but the chiefs were unwilling to give up their rights. The Han people were struggling in the Jurchen lands. In the occupied areas, Song merchants were attacked and plundered in many cases. The Jurchens were not influenced by Confucianism. They believed that what they took by force belonged to them.  Not only is it difficult to assimilate them, it can even be said that it is impossible to assimilate them. This is the difference between the two races." Zhao Yu nodded and asked: "You mean there is no need to talk about the Jurchen side?" "There is no need to talk about it, General Han.  We can fight slowly and talk slowly, so that fewer people will die and less damage will be done to the remaining local economy. However, the Jurchen side is full of tigers. If we delay for another day, the enemy will be more dangerous. Your Majesty, don't underestimate it.  The Jurchens, they can all come up with ways to go to sea to plunder, which not only shows that their etiquette is poor, but the most important thing is that they have a group of excellent managers. If our army does not attack them deep into the north, it will be even more difficult for them to come back when the time comes.  Deal with it. "Well I want you to go to Khitan Tokyo again and help me talk this matter over.  Our imperial army of the Song Dynasty has not yet faced a decisive battle with the Khitan. The Khitan still has hundreds of thousands of troops. If we can save fewer lives, I can even promise Yelu Chun to return to Linhuang Mansion and give him Linhuang Mansion as a foraging ground for generations.  " Ouyang asked: "Why is he a minor minister again?  " "I heard that you have a good relationship with Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi. Furthermore, you are the official in the Song Dynasty who knows the Khitan people best.  Also, you put forward the conditions for peace by yourself, so how about you not go for it?  Ouyang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty doesn't know. When he redeemed the Supreme Emperor last time, General Han cheated Yelu Dashi. I guess Yelu Dashi will take the blame on Weichen."  " Zhao Yu asked: "Will he kill you?  " "That won't happen. If he kills me, he will force all three armies to attack the Liao people.  "Ouyang replied, let alone Yelu Dashi, Emperor Tianzuo was not that idiot. Killing the envoys in the current war situation would be self-destruction. But looking at the Jurchens, it is very likely that Ouyang would be left behind. This kind of atmosphere is different, and his thoughts  The views and values ??are different, so it is difficult to describe clearly. Besides, no one in Liao has any personal opinion about Ouyang. Even if they do, it may be Yelu Dashi, but Ouyang is still more willing to believe that Yelu Dashi is a person with clear distinction between grudges and grudges.  So, over the years, for Xixia, Khitan, and Jurchen, only the Khitan do you think it is good?If you want to negotiate a good peace, I won't send you.  " "Your Majesty, the Western Xia ministers are also willing to negotiate peace, but they are unwilling to give up the army.  In the end, they didn't have a single bargaining chip because of Wei Chen's false edict.  After losing all his money, he had no choice but to agree to the conditions proposed by Wei Chen.  You can talk about these things, like the Jurchens and Mongolia, but don¡¯t talk about them, it¡¯s a waste of time.  " Zhao Yu said: "Concentrate on your business, don't worry about Mongolia every day.  I know it well.  " "Yes" Ouyang was helpless. Zhao Yu asked: "Did you send Wan Yanlan to Cangzhou Prison?  " "Yes," Ouyang said, "I just thought that it would be better for Your Majesty not to know about this matter.  There was no performance.  " "Then you might as well kill her.  " Ouyang said: "This person has a life-saving grace for Wei Chen. Of course, Wei Chen also has a life-saving grace for her.  She can regard the kindness of saving her life as rubbish. After all, Wei Chen is a scholar and understands the principle of repaying kindness with a drop of water and a spring of spring.  "    "kindness.  Zhao Yu nodded and asked, "I'm asking you, why don't you write a sleepwalking journal?"  " "" Ouyang wiped away the cold sweat, what do you mean? Zhao Yu said: "Let Mengsheng continue writing, and I will continue reading."  I didn't talk about the book last time.  It's because you concealed my help in writing the book that made me very unhappy.  You are really not suitable to be a powerful minister, you can't even understand what you are saying.  Did you know that after Sleepwalker ended, many people went to Hangzhou Printing Factory to find out what happened next.  " "Wei Chen understands" "Ouyang.  Zhao Yuxiang wanted to ask: "I really want to know how you know so much."  He can even rejuvenate himself and be proficient in the art of Qihuang.  " "Back to Your Majesty, folklore says that all the champions come from Quxing.  Therefore, Wei Chen often dreams about some messy things, and it becomes a habit to write casually after getting up.  Besides, Wei Chen is not the first to use this traumatic method. Wei Chen was out for fun, and when he was bored on the road, he read some medical books. General Zhang¡¯s injury, to be honest, it was a dead horse, Quan Quan, a living horse doctor. Fortunately, General Zhang had a good doctor.  Celestial appearance.  " "Haha, but you did a good job.  Zhao Yu said with great satisfaction: "What is a pillar? This is a pillar."  " "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.  " "But I haven't rewarded you for pacifying the chaos in Dongting Lake. If I don't reward the supervisory army for his great contribution this time, you won't be able to help me with peace of mind."  " Ouyang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?  "Come on," Zhao Yu said, "Bring the things up."  " "Yes." A guard quickly brought a large plate in from the side door. The plate was covered with red cloth. There was something on the red cloth, and the thing was covered with gold cloth. It looked quite mysterious, and it was also quite large and certain.  Weight. Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Ouyang, I'll let you guess it three times. If you guess it, it's yours."  Guess no, I have to take it back.  " "" Ouyang Khan, Zhao Yu is not in a good mood today. Zhao Yu ordered: "Just a reminder.  " "Yes." The inner guard snapped his fingers at the thing under the gold cloth, and a metallic sound sounded. "It's metal, and it's a whole piece of metal. At this point, Ouyang was confused, what would the emperor give that was a whole piece of metal? No.  , looking at the shape, the metal is only half of it, it is a rectangular semicircle, which is equivalent to a cylinder cut in half. Ouyang looked very proud of Zhao Yu's expression. Obviously, this thing is very easy to get, and he will be satisfied with it.  ? It shouldn't be so vulgar. Besides, Zhao Yu has the nerve to show gold in front of him. He doesn't care about the promoted prince, and there is no need to use such a big thing to do it, right? It's not right, it's half a round iron sheet.  "Let him touch it." Zhao Yu seemed to be even more proud when he put his hand on it and found the word "descendants" on it. The inner guard turned his hand away.  ? Granting a title to the descendants? Who has seen such a title? Is it not fun for this woman to give birth to a son? Zhao Yu asked: "Ouyang, think about it, what do you like about me?"  Eyes, I will reward you with something you will definitely be happy about.  This thing has writing on it, embedded in gold.  This thing was awarded to two people in the Tang Dynasty. I remember that one of them was Qian Liu, King of Wuyue.  This was the first one in Song Dynasty.  Ouyang smiled bitterly: "Wei Chen really can't guess." There is what I want, but it definitely doesn't look like this. "That's it." Zhao Yu sighed: "Pick it up." The inner guard lifted up the gold cloth, and Ouyang saw a foot high and wide.  The three-foot-long semi-cylindrical iron sheet has words on it, all of which are inlaid with gold. The first row of words is about inheritance from generation to generation, and then there are a lot of achievements engraved on it, starting from the Battle of Xixia.  There are gold characters inlaid at the end: "Your Majesty forgives nine deaths, and your descendants three deaths, or commits regular punishment, and no one will be punished." "Is this?"  "Ouyang was shocked.  "The elixir is an iron ticket." The inner guard replied.  Ouyang was shocked and asked: "Is this the legendary gold medal for immunity from death?" Damn it, this guy looks like half a gasoline barrel.  Ouyang remembers watching TV, and the gold medal for immunity from death is the brand.  Why is this death-free gold medal so big when we get to our side?  This thing only exists in legend. Ouyang didn't know that this thing was originally a gasoline barrel, but in order to prevent counterfeiting, he cut it in half and left the bottom inside.  "It's almost the same, but it's usually for exoneration." Zhao Yu said: "You Ouyang often do bad things. Giving you this elixir book will also prevent you from going to jail in the future. Are you satisfied?" "This I'm very satisfied." Ouyang Xi said: "  I had already found some ministers displeased with me, so I arrested them and beat them up, especially Zhang Bangchang." "" Zhao Yu almost fell into coma, but the first thing he thought about was not his own future safety, but his own.  Thinking of using this thing to vent your personal anger.  Zhao Yu could only say: "If you want to mess around, I will destroy the Ouchi piece and accuse you of forgery." "Thank you, Your Majesty" is a more practical thing, but I need to study what the nine deaths written above are.  , what are the three deaths of descendants?  However, the number of gold medals for immunity from death is very small, and no one may know about it. It is probably calculated based on the number of times.  Alas The second generation of officials is happiness, and they have amulets even before they are born.  Son, since I am an official, you can kill people at will from now on.  "You wait in the post house first. Peace talks still rely on pomp." Zhao Yu said: "However, you can still be polite to the Khitan people. I don't think there is any need to send Zhang Xuanming out to deal with it." "Of course, Li Qianshun is still more capable.  The emperor must deal with it. Yelu Chun is a young man, and Emperor Tianzuo is incompetent. There is only one Yelv Dashi, and I can rest assured that I will invite him to Tokyo as a guest." Zhao Yu said, "Go down.  "" What surprised Ouyang was that Zhang Bangchang, who was a secretary, was also a peace envoy.  To be honest, Ouyang admired Zhang Bangchang very much. According to the records of the Ministry of Personnel, he had been the governor of the state for more than 20 years and had only one achievement recorded.  There can only be one such person. Needless to say Ouyang, Puzhi County also has some specious names such as opening canals, increasing grain production, increasing taxes and profits, and appeasing the local area.  Even the Hanlin Academy has a saying of conscientiousness.  Li Bangchang's only achievement was that during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he used items from Chongning and Daguan to make flags.  ¡°Did Zhao Yu use it specifically to give himself the gold medal to avoid death?  Later, when I asked the Minister of Rites, I found out that the Minister of Books was a very important member of the mission.  In the peace talks, the Ministry of Education is responsible for drafting the peace treaty. If the left and right are in conflict, of course someone at the next level will go.  Although Ouyang is a junior official, he has a large mission, and he is an imperial envoy.  Many of the people who went to Khitan with Ouyang were old acquaintances of Ouyang.  Officials who had been on a diplomatic mission to Xixia together.  In line with the principle of recycling waste, Ouyang called Zhang Bangchang to his room for rest on the first day of travel.  But Ouyang did not expect that Zhang Bangchang was really not thin-skinned. When he entered the house, he praised Ouyang's achievements, flattered Ouyang, and said that Ouyang was a pillar of talent and had an unlimited future, etc.  Ouyang was unmoved because this was a more objective way of positioning himself.  When Zhang Bangchang was thirsty, Ouyang said: "I have always believed that it is true that I am born with talents that will be useful, such as Li Bangyan. So I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to use his talents to do a favor for me, and he has helped me in many ways."  There is a reward, but if you can¡¯t help me, I have an iron book in my hand and I want to do something bad to you.¡± Zhang Bangchang immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said, ¡°The reward is far from what the imperial envoy said. Who doesn¡¯t know that the imperial envoy is dedicated to serving the country.¡±  The people are worried, and everything they do is related to the country. As long as the imperial envoy orders it, no matter the wind comes or the rain goes, the subordinates will never frown. " Ouyang had already guessed that the Liao people would negotiate.  Once the Huanglong Mansion was broken, not only the Jurchens couldn't stand it, but the Liao people also raised the Song army's combat effectiveness to a new level.  There is little point in continuing to resist, not to mention that the Song people were able to conduct large-scale operations in the severe cold winter, which the Khitans were unable to do.  The Liao court was in a state of decay, and there were no real people with lofty ideals. As long as their interests were well protected, they would not object to being ruled.  Ouyang knew that the focus of the next work was no longer on military operations, but on expanding the territory, ensuring people's livelihood, and maintaining local stability.  Passing through the Liao-occupied areas, Ouyang couldn't help but sigh. The Liao Kingdom, which was once twice the size of the Song Dynasty and had stood in the north for more than two hundred years, could not avoid being destroyed due to inheritance issues.  There is no shadow of the prosperity of the Empress Dowager Xiao period.  The policies adopted in the Liao and Jurchen lands were different. Most of them focused on appeasement. Whether they were Khitan people, Han people or Bohai people, they were all relatively kind.  The Imperial Envoy Brigade entered the city. The adults held their children and watched the excitement without any fear.  The Song Dynasty also fully considered local conditions and retained local officials with better official reputations.In the local area where the official reputation is not good, those who are abolished will be replaced by capable officials allocated by the Ministry of Personnel.  Each county left a hundred forbidden troops, led by a school captain, to cooperate with the county magistrate to maintain law and order.  Han Shizhong issued a military order to kill thirteen soldiers left behind.  Provocation, occupation, plunder, etc. are all within the scope of the Thirteen Kills.  The local people also recognized and supported what the Song Dynasty did.  In order to stabilize the rule of this place, the imperial court deliberately opened Enko in the occupied areas.  This Enke can only be participated by people from the occupied areas. The state examination will be held in August this year, and the provincial and palace examinations will be held next year.  Next August is the State Examination of the Song Dynasty, followed by the Imperial Examination Year, which means that scholars in the occupied areas will have two opportunities in a short period of time, which is great news for scholars.  The Song Dynasty also took measures such as releasing travel expenses to any candidates who passed the state examination, which was an important means to stabilize the local area.  These methods are useless against Jurchens. There will be no Jurchens rushing to take the exam. There are only a few of them who can even speak Chinese, let alone Chinese characters.  Therefore, language and character barriers are a major obstacle to rule. Either Qin Shihuang's unification of characters was a huge contribution, otherwise what we need to learn now is not just foreign languages.  Scholars were recruited, as well as herders and farmers. These people benefited greatly from the Song Dynasty's five-year tax exemption policy.  The Khitan doubled taxes at that time, but the Song people reduced and reduced taxes when they came. Who do they support?  Everyone knows it.  For urbanites, the business association made a great contribution. The businesses it opened recruited a large number of local people. Although the wages were lower than those in Song Dynasty, the local prices were lower.  It's a pretty good income for them.  The common people have received real benefits, so wherever the imperial envoys go, there is indeed a peaceful scene of singing and dancing.  Although there was no compulsion in the Song Dynasty, many Khitan Xiao and Yelu people became Han citizens, because the court also gave a policy that the court would reward five measures of rice for those who gave birth to children who became Han citizens.
