Chapter 690: No marriage, no peace
Since they have already sat on the negotiating table, the noble, elegant, and beautiful figures in the past are no different from the aunts and aunts selling vegetables on the market. However, those who bargained for side dishes worth two cents, but these people determined the fate of countless people and the direction of people on this land, and the essence is the same. Some are furious, but some are humiliating and retorting, stepping on the table, rolling up their sleeves and staring at them. Although they didn't really do anything, the scene was also extremely hot.
The representatives of the Mongolian Yuan still had a very tough stance because they knew that Yun Zhao could not afford to spend it. Now they could not defeat the Zhengbei Army, but the Zhengbei Army was determined to wipe out them. The price they paid would inevitably make Yun Zhao heartbroken, and even affect his grand strategy of fighting for the Central Plains.
Huocheng is not far from Yanjing, and it is more than enough to fly back and forth a day. So on this road, countless messengers travel back and forth in one day on this road, presenting the latest negotiation results or disputes to Yanjing, and Yardan made the final decision.
Although it is difficult, the peace treaty is still reached one by one. Although there are differences, when neither side wants to really fight, ways to make up for the differences can always be found.
The Mongolian Yuan wanted Yanjing and the land outside the pass, but was flatly rejected by the Zhengbei Army. The Mengyuan was a tiger, so the tiger had to be locked in a cage. The Mengyuan finally agreed not to land outside the pass, but needed more land in the state as a habitat for the Mongolian people. They asked to join Yanzhou. The Zhengbei Army agreed to give the Mongolian Yuan an additional state, but in the local area they gave them Yanjing, Jiaozhou and Yizhou. These were three unconnected pieces of land. In other words, although the Mongolian people successfully obtained three pieces of land, they were not connected to each other.
Time passes day by day, and the number of messengers traveling between Yanjing and Huocheng is getting smaller and smaller, which means that the differences between the two sides are getting smaller and smaller, and more contracts are being reached. As the thicker files before the negotiations are getting thinner, the faces of both parties finally have less anger, more smiles, and more harmonious words. Once the contract is finally signed, both parties will become colleagues.
The two sides are making up for the differences between each other as much as possible. In the staffing of these Mongolian habitats, a reciprocal mechanism has been used, that is, one position is above. If the main position is a member of the Northern Expedition Army, then the deputy position must be a Mongolian person, and the same is true for the exchange. The most important thing is the army, which has reached an agreement to station in other places, that is, the Mongolian army shall not be stationed in the habitats of these three states. The town troops of these three states will be sent by the Northern Expedition Army, and the Mongolian army will choose a separate garrison to separate the ordinary Mongolian people from the army. This is also one of the strategies of the Northern Expedition Army. When the great achievements are achieved in the future, we will slowly digest the powerful Mongolian cavalry. At that time, there are ways to make these Mongolian people voluntarily take off their battle robes and return to their homes.
On the ninth day of Yunzhao's limited time, the two parties finally reached a full agreement, and the contract was finally signed and sealed by the highest officials of both parties.
On this day, Yun Zhao finally appeared in front of Han Zhong again.
The drafted contract was opened in front of Yun Zhao. The best wolf hair was covered with thick ink, and Yun Zhao didn't need to read the content. Every day, he could get the most detailed negotiation process. When he picked up the pen, he had to sign his own name. Put his own seal on it. The eight-year battle against Mongolia would come to an end. Yun Zhao picked up the pen with a smile.
"Governor, wait!" Han Zhong stood up and walked to Yun Zhao.
Ma Yigong, Guo Changxing and others couldn't help but change their faces. What other goose boy did Han Zhong come up with? These days, they have experienced this person's shrewdness and etiquette.
"Mr. Han, do you have anything else to understand? I think you have reached a consensus with us?" Yun Zhao put down his pen, looked at Han Zhong and smiled.
"There is indeed a consensus." Han Zhong's expression remained unchanged. "I just wanted to ask the governor, how can I ensure that this peace agreement is implemented completely without any discount?"
Yun Zhao said in surprise: "I signed my name and stamped it with a seal, which represents the promise of the Governor's Office of the Northern Army. The Grand Duke promised a thousand gold coins, and this peace agreement was a constraint."
Han Zhong shook his head and said, "There has never been a promise in history that it is really difficult to ensure that the treaty is fully realized. The governor should also understand that there are countless peace agreements signed between the Mongolians and the Great Yue people in history, but I think the governor also knows that either the Mongolians tear up the peace agreement or the Great Yue people tear up the peace agreement. True peace has never happened. If the governor does not want these things to happen again, I think it is necessary for us to find a real solution to this problem before signing him again."
Yun Zhao's face changed slightly, "I think you have found a way to do these things in the negotiations these days."
"Some things must be truly resolved until the governor appears. Of course, the peace agreement we have reached is the premise! On this premise, we need to get a guarantee." Han Zhong said.
"What guarantee do you want?" Yun Zhao's face looked slightly ill, and there were some troubles, which he didn't expect.
"The Governor must also understand that the peace agreement was actually at a disadvantage. The army was reorganized into the Northern Expedition Army, and the three pieces of land obtained were not connected to each other. In fact, we have been divided into three far-away places. If nothing unexpected happens, the Yue people will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the Meng people will become weaker and weaker. When this strength reaches a certain level, the paper peace agreement will become a piece of waste paper. It will no longer be binding, so we need another method of guarantee." Han Zhong faced Yun Zhao's gaze without fear.
"Has I invited you, such as Mr. Han, to the Governor's Office? After the two families joined forces, more Mongolian officials will enter the Governor's Office and serve in the Governor's Office. Isn't this enough to maintain the constraints on the peace agreement?" Yun Zhao asked.
"Not enough!" Han Zhong said frankly: "Don't tell lies in front of the real person. As time goes by, these official positions will become stronger and the influence of the Meng people become weaker. They will be seized without any guarantee. At that time, the Meng people have no room for complaints. We must find a way to closely combine the interests of both sides. There is a bond that will firmly connect the Northern Army and the Meng people, and it is inseparable!"
"What is the bond you are talking about?" Yun Zhao leaned forward and looked down at Han Zhong.
"Marriage!" Han Zhong said without hesitation: "Please ask the governor to marry Princess Yardan, so that Princess Yardan will become the governor's wife. In this way, the Mongolians can rest assured!"
The words alarmed the four seats, and Malihan looked at Han Zhong in horror without knowing it. The people of the Zhengbei Army present, except for Jiang Feng who was sitting on the side, were still as tall as a mountain, the rest of the people were commotion.
The governor of the Northern Army to marry Yardan and his wife is definitely not a trivial matter, but it is not a political influence. Even Yun Zhao himself is still in trouble with his marriage. The Hongniang is still angry at Yingzui Rock. If he knew about this, would he directly fight back from Yingzui Rock with a knife? Everyone turned their eyes to Yun Zhao.
Han Zhong seemed unaware and looked around, "In fact, there is no need to hide it. There is already a love and intention between Governor Yun and Princess Yardan. This is not a secret. Both parties have had secret meetings many times before. This time, the marriage between the two parties is beneficial for both public and private. Isn't it beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?"
All eyes in the silent hall were focused on Yun Zhao. Han Zhong's words made him feel embarrassed for a while. After a while, he stood up, "I will discuss this matter again, and I will discuss it again."
"Governor, only if this matter is reached can we finally sign the treaty." Han Zhong looked at Yun Zhao's hurriedly leaving and said loudly.
In the small hall, Gao Yigong looked at Yun Zhao with an inexplicable smile on his lips, "Governor, you really kill two birds with one stone. If you can marry Yardan, it will indeed make the Mongolians serve the Governor wholeheartedly from now on. Moreover, Yardan is a famous beauty of the Mongolians and is also deeply in love with the Governor. Why not do such a beautiful thing?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "It is precisely this idea. If you want to fool people from everlasting their thoughts, this is a proper way."
"I think something is wrong!" Guo Changxing shook his head repeatedly, "The other party is asking for the position of the right wife. Governor, please forgive me for being frank. Governor is a man who wants to take over the world. In the future, he will be able to sit in the Golden Palace, but the queen is a woman from a different race, and she is afraid that she will cause trouble. If she is a concubine, you should consider it!"
"Nonsense!" Gao Yigong laughed and scolded: "Old Guo, you are foolish, who is Yaerdan? Not to mention that she is the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, she was her former identity. How could a dignified Mongolian princess be a concubine? If we make this opinion, keep the Mongolian clan immediately turned against each other, and the war on the battlefield will rise again, which is a naked humiliation."
"Master Gao is right! You must not mention your proposal to be a concubine, otherwise the efforts made by both sides will be wasted. There will be no other choice except for a battle. This is not what we want."
"What should I do?" Guo Changxing spread his hands, "This is a dead knot. It is a difficult thing for the people of Dayue to accept a Mongolian woman as the future queen."
"It doesn't mean it's impossible!" Jiang Feng said lightly: "Looking at the long history of Dayue, there is no emperor who married a woman from a foreign race as the queen! When it comes to the so-called face issue, even when my Dayue was the most prosperous, did I marry the old princess of the Mongolian tribe as his wife in exchange for border peace? Why didn't anyone say he wanted to be faced at that time?"
Yun Zhao knocked on the table, "I don't care what you said. What I think is, if you take the marriage seriously, how can Miaomiao explain it?"
