Monument Yangmen

Chapter 756 Peace Talk
Obviously, at that point, the Liao army would never attack its own people first, and the first to be killed must be the Liao Han people in Shunzhou.

This was also the reason why Yang Qi was suddenly furious.

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't expect Yang Qi to be angry because of this sentence, she was a little surprised.

But when he thought of Yang Qi's literary background, he understood why Yang Qi was angry.

Literati pay the most attention to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. People cannibalize people and are no different from animals. Yang Qi, an authentic literati, will naturally get angry.

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled lightly when she thought of this.

A literati is a literati after all, and it is difficult to be as hard-hearted as a warrior.

If you say this to brother Yeluxiu, brother Yeluxiu will definitely give a sneer and ignore it.

This idea didn't stay in Empress Dowager Xiao's mind for long before she was driven out.

Then she thought to herself, when did the rabbit have the right to look down on the tiger?
With a deep sigh in her heart, Empress Dowager Xiao curled her lips, and said quietly: "This palace is just talking casually, why is Huhou so angry?"

Yang Qi stared at Empress Dowager Xiao and said in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to say anything, you are not even allowed to have this idea. The reason why people are human is because they understand etiquette, justice, honesty, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and they know how to help each other.

What is the difference between man cannibalism and beasts?
If I really want to meet this kind of beast, I will kill one if I have one, and kill the other if there is a pair!
If your Liao army really dares to use human flesh as rations, even if I, Yang Yansi, give everything I have, I will let you exterminate the eight Khitan clans. "

Empress Dowager Xiao narrowed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "If Huhou is really determined to destroy the eight Khitan clans, isn't he afraid that the four northwestern prefectures and the southern kingdom will not be protected?"

Yang Qi also narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I said that I will give up everything, don't you understand what I say?"

Empress Dowager Xiao put away the joking thoughts in her heart, and said solemnly: "It's the palace that made a slip of the tongue..."

Yang Qi looked at Empress Dowager Xiao, and said coldly: "You Liao people, you'd better remember my words."

Empress Dowager Xiao's complexion was not good, she said coldly: "You don't need to remind Huhou again and again, I am also a human being."

Yang Qi said indifferently: "I hope so... Then let's talk about the terms of the peace talks."

Finally getting back to the topic, Empress Dowager Xiao looked straight and looked at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and said his conditions in a rambling manner, "Although the Liao Kingdom and our four prefectures in the northwest are enemies now, they will definitely be friends in the future. Naturally, between friends, we can't be happy at any time. Weapons, and have to communicate with each other from time to time.

In this way, it is beneficial to both of you and me, what do you think? "

It stands to reason that if this condition had been raised before, Queen Mother Xiao would have agreed without even thinking about it.

But when she knew that Yang Qi secretly controlled the economy of the Liao Kingdom and stirred up the situation, she had a deep fear of the exchange of goods.

Empress Dowager Xiao said with embarrassment: "No swordsmanship, this is not only Huhou's long-cherished wish, but also my Daliao's long-cherished wish. I just don't know if there is any exchange, what kind of exchange method is it?

Huhou's methods are unpredictable, if we really want to communicate with each other, what should Huhou do, I, Daliao..."

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't say the rest.

Both of them are smart people, and they can understand some words without saying them clearly.

Empress Dowager Xiao was bitten by a snake once, but was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Yang Qi said with a smile: "If your Liao Kingdom does not have malicious intentions against the land under my rule, I will naturally not deal with you. In this way, in order to avoid your worries, all the companies in my four northwestern prefectures and under the rule of Nanguo, except Nanguo Qian Outsiders are not allowed to enter your Daliao.

Nanguo Money Bank is just a place to store and borrow money.

It will not affect the rise and fall of your prices in Liao.

And after our Nanguo Money Bank enters your Liao Kingdom, [-]% of your annual income will be used as taxes and delivered to your Liao Kingdom treasury. "

Yang Qi's words made Empress Dowager Xiao appear in a cloud of mist.

Frankly speaking, she really doesn't understand economics.

So regarding Yang Qi's words, one cannot tell the good from the bad.

I also don't understand what role the Nanguo Qianhang will play after it enters the Liao Kingdom.

However, Yang Qi promised that all the firms under his control, except Nanguo Money Bank, would not enter Daliao.

And the Nanguo Money Bank is just a place for storage and borrowing. It seems that, as Yang Qi said, it does not affect the rise and fall of prices in Liao.

The most important thing is that every year, the Liao Kingdom can also share [-]% of the bonus.

If this is the case, it will not have a big impact on the Liao Kingdom.

Empress Dowager Xiao thought about it, and there was only so much she could think of. She hesitated for a moment, and gritted her teeth: "If money from the southern country enters our Daliao, it must be supervised by our Daliao."

Although Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't understand economics, she still wants to supervise the Nanguo Money Bank.

No matter what Yang Qi said was true or false, with the supervision of the Daliao court, the Nanguo money bank would not dare to make any messes.

Yang Qi was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, he smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is no problem for the Liao Dynasty court to supervise the Nanguo money bank, but if our Nanguo money bank does not do anything that violates the laws of the Liao country, if your Liao country court dares to interfere with our Nanguo money bank If it’s okay, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said: "It's natural, as long as your Nanguo Qianhang doesn't stir up the wind and rain in our Daliao, I can promise that no one will touch your Nanguo Qianhang."

"This must be written in the covenant."

"it is good."

After finalizing the first article of the covenant, Yang Qi began to propose the second article, "In this war, as the defeated party, the Liao Kingdom has to make certain measures in addition to transferring the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to our four northwestern prefectures. compensation."

Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "How much do you want?"

The reason why Empress Dowager Xiao agreed to this item so readily was because she knew it was an essential item from the very beginning.

Yang Qi thought about it: "3000 million taels, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Xiao stood up abruptly, filled with righteous indignation, "You are a lion!"

Yang Qi said quietly: "It's not that the Liao Kingdom is asking you to take out so much at once. You can pay it off in ten years, 20 years, or 30 years. You can also use cattle, sheep, horses, ginseng antler, cordyceps sinensis, Haidongqing, Dongqing, etc. Pearls and other goods to repay the debt."

The Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her silver teeth and said coldly: "You are going to lie on our Daliao body to suck blood. 3000 million taels is too much. When will my Daliao pay it off? It must be reduced."

Yang Qi glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao, and said lightly: "Then how appropriate do you think?"

Empress Dowager Xiao immediately raised a finger and said in a low voice, "One million taels..."

Yang Qi stared, "Where are you sending the beggar?"

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help it anymore, and roared: "3000 million taels, even if the subjects of our Liao Kingdom don't eat or drink, it will take 30 years to get so much money. You are forcing all of us in Liao Kingdom to die.

Rather than being forced to death by you in the future, it is better to fight with you now. "

"Cough cough..."

Yang Qi gave a dry cough. He looked at Empress Dowager Xiao's angry face, and suddenly remembered that the economy of Liao Kingdom was really not that good.

3000 million taels, for Yang Qi, it was easy to scrape together.

But for the Liao Kingdom, I am afraid it will take a long time to accumulate.

After all, not everyone is like him. He is a traveler who understands economics, and knows where gold mines, copper mines, and silver mines are produced. He can even turn a war of spending money into a war of making money.

You can't use your own to go, to ask others.

This puts too much pressure on others.

Realizing his mistake, Yang Qi hurriedly corrected it, "In this way...the minimum is 1000 million taels, there can be no less, and if there is less, you can only pay... Pay off in 30 years, and deliver 34 taels to Gubeikou every year , the excess is calculated as interest.”

34 million taels a year.

This figure was barely acceptable to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and so could the Liao Kingdom.

Empress Dowager Xiao finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

In terms of interest, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't continue arguing with Yang Qi.

Yang Qi didn't give her a chance to continue withdrawing, so she directly said the third point, "The third point, my four prefectures in the northwest and your Daliao are neighbors, so they will naturally score the same. What do you think?"

Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, she gritted her teeth and hesitated, "What do you want?"

Yang Qi grinned and said, "The last time I went to the capital, I saw your little emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Kingdom. He looks cute and is quite lovable. I couldn't help but have the urge to accept a godson..."

Before Yang Qi finished speaking, she saw Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth and growled, "No..."

Empress Dowager Xiao resolutely refused, and there was a faint blush floating on her cheeks.

Yang Qi was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood.

He wanted to adopt Yelu Longxu as his godson, so the one who changed his direction became Yelu Longxu's father, and Empress Dowager Xiao was Yelu Longxu's mother.

Inadvertently, he molested Empress Dowager Xiao.

Yang Qi really didn't have the intention of molesting Empress Dowager Xiao, in order to avoid Empress Dowager Xiao's blind thinking, he hurriedly said with a straight face: "Back then you Liao people recognized Shi Jingtang as your godson, why couldn't I recognize Yelu Longxu as your godson? You Liao people are only allowed to set fires, so you don't make me light lamps?"

Empress Dowager Xiao clenched her silver teeth together, and said viciously: "My emperor is Yelusi's uncle, do you want Yelusi to call me a godfather? If you insist on recognizing my emperor as a godson, then don't It’s strange to send someone to send Yelusi back to the four northwestern prefectures every year to pay homage to your godfather.”

"hiss……"

Yang Qi gasped, thinking that Empress Dowager Xiao is really ruthless.

Even though he and Yang Yanhui have cut off their righteousness and brotherhood, and they will not communicate with each other in the future, it has nothing to do with him, and the corresponding little Yelvsi has nothing to do with him.

But even so, the blood flowing in his bones cannot be changed.

After all, Xiao Yelusi is still the blood of the Yang family, even if Yang Qi's skills are all-powerful, he can't change this fact.

When the time comes when Empress Dowager Xiao really sends little Yelusi to visit his godfather in the four prefectures of the Northwest with great fanfare, Yang Qi can be sure that Lao Yang and She Saihua will play mixed doubles and beat him to death.

Recognize your nephew as your grandson, do you want to discuss friendship with our peers?
Want to rebel?
Thinking of this, Yang Qi shuddered all over.

Don't dare to think. Don't dare to think.

"Cough cough..."

Yang Qi laughed dryly, concealed his embarrassment, and laughed, "I was just joking just now..."

Empress Dowager Xiao successfully moved back to Yicheng, she felt a lot better, and she smiled a little more on her face, and looked at Yang Qi provocatively.

A scene of peace talks was abruptly turned into a comedy by two people.

However, it was this seemingly funny drama that decided the fate of many people under the two huge forces.

Sometimes, real negotiations are not as serious as imagined.

Since Yelu Longxu and Yelu Longxu couldn't be father and son, they could only be brothers.

Yang Qi said in a deep voice: "From now on, both of us will conclude the covenant of brotherhood, I will be the elder brother, and Yelu Longxu will be the younger brother."

Empress Xiao didn't even think about it, she nodded and agreed, "Okay..."

Now it was Yang Qi's turn to be depressed.

Because when Empress Dowager Xiao agreed to this matter, he realized that he seemed to be a head lower in seniority in front of Empress Dowager Xiao.

However, he remembered that Empress Dowager Xiao was Xiao Yelusi's grandmother, so he pinched his nose and recognized it.

In the end, Yang Qi put forward these three conditions.

If you count the products carefully, there is a bit of revenge in it.

At the beginning of the alliance between Song and Liao, the conditions put forward by the Liao Kingdom were exactly the same as Yang Qi's, with only a few changes, and the rest remained basically the same.

After negotiating the conditions, Empress Dowager Xiao did not stay longer in Yang Qi's camp, she hurried back to Shunzhou under the escort of her guards.

Empress Dowager Xiao returned to Shunzhou on the second day.

An envoy from the Liao Kingdom who was in charge of concluding the alliance came to Yang Qi's barracks.

The Liao Kingdom didn't want to wait for a moment, so it can be seen that the Liao army in Shunzhou might not last long.

According to the terms proposed by Yang Qi, the Liao State drew up a document, and not a single word on the document was changed. There were Chinese characters and Liao script on it, written in two languages.

This is the official alliance document.

Yelu Longxu, the young emperor of the Liao Kingdom, had already used seals on documents.

After Yang Qi's seal was affixed to the document, this alliance document officially came into effect.

After the peace talks.

Yang Qi asked the Liao Kingdom to keep the [-] Liao troops in Shunzhou as collateral on the grounds that the Liao Kingdom had not paid the current year's currency.

Things have come to this point, and the Liao Kingdom has no way to care about this kind of matter.

If it drags on, it will only be more detrimental to the Liao Kingdom.

The gecko had to cut off its tail, leaving Yang Qi with [-] sick and disabled Liao troops.

After leaving behind the remnant army, Empress Dowager Xiao, assisted by Yelu Xiezhen, led the remaining 20 remnants of defeated generals, and fled Gubeikou in embarrassment, holding the alliance document and the warrant issued by Yang Qi.

When the Liao army arrived at Gubeikou, each had mixed feelings.

When the soldiers left Gubeikou, they were full of ambitions, thinking about making contributions, thinking about scraping meat from Da Song.

However, after fighting fiercely for a year, not only did he not get any meat, but he lost a large piece of his own meat.

At the time of the expedition, there were hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

A lot of soldiers and horses were sent before and after, and the Liao army once reached more than 100 million.

However, there are only 20 soldiers and horses returning at this moment.

Of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses left in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, a large part of them became captives.

After leaving Gubeikou, I saw corpses everywhere outside Gubeikou.

The Liao army were a little dazed.

Judging by the attire of those people, they were all from the Liao Army, and they seemed to be soldiers and horses who rushed to help when they asked for help.

The number of people seemed quite large, but they were blocked outside Gubeikou.

"Gubeikou, Tanzhou, double siege! I did not deserve to lose in Daliao..."

At this time, the Liao people seemed to feel that the stronger they were, the less useless they were.
