Chapter 197 Xixia’s Conditions(1/2)
After retiring from the imperial court, neither palace took this matter to heart.
They just issued an edict to the Guangxi Economic and Strategy Department, ordering them to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time issued a decree to the Nongzhihui, asking them to guard their place.
For them, the small country of Cochin cannot do much.
But after Zhao Xu returned to Funing Palace, he sat on the imperial couch without saying a word.
Because he knows that this matter is actually very troublesome.
Not referring to Jiaozhi - Xining's southern expedition, although it failed to destroy Jiaozhi, it also taught them a severe lesson.
At least, according to Zhao Xu's modern understanding, until Jingkang, Jiaozhi did not cause any turmoil.
For Zhao Xu, the troublesome part lies in internal affairs.
Because his father, in order to appease the Cochin people after the Southern Expedition, returned some of the Jiaozhi lands they occupied during the Southern Expedition.
Of course, there are conditions - the Jiaozhi people need to return the people of the Song Dynasty who were kidnapped when they invaded the Song Dynasty.
But later, someone illegally reached a demarcation agreement with the Jiaozhi people behind Zhao Xu's father's back, and gave away a lot of land!
Although this person was punished, the cession of territory has become a fact.
Not many people know about this yet.
Once word spreads, it will be stained on Zhao Xu's father.
Moreover, the matter also involved Kumamoto, the then Guangxi economic envoy - no matter what, Kumamoto had the leadership responsibility!
Zhao Xu remembered that in his previous life, Xiong Ben was slapped with countless hats for this.
The cessation of territory, loss of soil, etc., made Kumamoto miserable.
A few months later, Sima Guang presided over the cession of territory.
Those who had besieged Kumamoto before suddenly became mute.
Therefore, he had to think carefully and solve Kumamoto's problem first.
…
Dutingyi.
Li Wensheng, the tribute envoy of Jiaozhi, listened to the admonitions of the Song people.
He trembled and bowed again to apologize: "Please report to the emperor, the two palaces are kind and sage, and they belong to a small country. I have no intention of coveting or despising..."
"It's just that Wuyang and other places are actually the land of my lord's past... and even the land of our ancestors..."
"Just like a thief who steals the owner's property and sells it to others..."
But the official scolded him with a cold face: "You have to correct your position!"
"The Empress Dowager's loving advice: Don't accept it unless it's a gift from the Emperor, and don't do it unless it's an order from the Emperor!"
“Keep this in mind and don’t cause trouble!”
"Otherwise the emperor will send Prime Minister Zhao to march south!"
"Xiangong Zhao?" Li Wensheng was shocked.
"Mr. Zhao Xian!" the official said coldly.
Li Wen Sheng was dripping with cold sweat!
Zhao Xi!
The deputy commander of the Southern Expedition! A murderous butcher!
If he leads his army to the south again...
Moreover, he will definitely lead those elites who have been tempered in the northwest!
Li Van Thanh then recalled the war that year.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty all wore armor, and their armor was like a forest, and they had as many divine arms and bows as they needed!
Dai Viet cannot win at all!
All military states north of the Furiang River fell!
Due to the protection of the Yellow Dragon, the ancestors appeared, and heavy rain fell from the sky, making it impossible for the Song army to cross the river.
The prolonged rainy season also caused the Song army to lose all its vigor.
I'm afraid there is still a debate whether the person sitting in Thang Long Mansion is the Emperor of Dai Viet or not.
It was that battle that completely dispelled Dai Viet's ambitions.
It’s not just about ceding land and paying money, and re-claiming vassal status.
He also obediently followed the Northern Dynasty Emperor's request and sent back all the military and civilian officials who had been plundered previously.
Unless it hurts from being beaten, the Cochin people wouldn't be so well-behaved.
Li Wensheng already knew this when he recalled it.
Dai Viet's trial this time will bring no benefits, and he might even make a mess!
He quickly wrote a letter and sent someone back to the country immediately to inform the emperor.
At the same time, he himself immediately began to write a humble letter of apology.
Li Wen Sheng has read books, so he knows that if you can't win, you can't win. If you should give in, you have to give in.
In recent years, Dai Viet's focus has always been in the south.
Directions to Chenla and Champa!
At this time, Northern China was offended, and old and new grudges were settled together.
If the Northern Dynasties contacted Chenla and occupied the city, Dai Viet would be at risk of subjugation!
…
Xingqing Mansion.
In the imperial palace of Dabai Gaoguo.
Wuzu Bingchang made a rare appearance here today.
Beside him, the warriors from the Ren family followed closely.
Bingchang even changed into the uniform of a warrior.
The apricot-yellow robe is open on the left side, and she wears a huge golden crown on her head.
All the nobles in the palace moved out of the way.
One by one, they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Wuzi!"
Even Liang Yibu could only kneel down and said respectfully: "I've seen Wu soldiers!"
In the hall, behind the curtain, the Queen Mother and Bingchang's biological mother were still sitting motionless.
The eyes of mother and son met in an instant.
Bingchang had already sat on Wuzu's throne.
"Mother!" Bing Chang sat down and asked, "I heard that the Prime Minister wants to send envoys to the Southern Barbarians to restore old friendships?"
The Queen Mother in the curtain replied: "Of course!"
"Who is the envoy?" Bingchang asked, "Has it been discussed?"
Liang Yibu, the Prime Minister in the palace, replied: "Reporting to Wu Zu, we have appointed Din Nu, Guanwei Mingmo Duo, as the official envoy!"
"What's your name, Mo Duo?" Bingchang looked into the palace.
A nobleman immediately came out: "I'm here!"
"I have an explanation for you to go to Nanman!" Bingchang said.
"I respectfully listen to Wu Zu's will!" Weiming Mo Duo prostrated.
For people from Weimingjia, Wuzu is Wuzu!
Sacred and inviolable!
"First: Whether it's annual coins or annual gifts, I don't care what the southern barbarians call it..."
"It can only be more than the Qingli Peace Agreement, and never less!"
Wei Ming Mo Duo bowed: "I understand!"
Everyone else nodded too!
really!
If you want a truce between Dabai and Gao, the Nanman must give you money, enough money.
Only the money given was enough to support their tribesmen and let them live the same happy life as the Liao Kingdom in the Northern Dynasties.
Only then could they reluctantly stop going south to clear grass in the valley.
