Chapter 754 Datong peace agreement (please subscribe!)
...

China and Song Dynasty negotiated peace.

The Southern Song Dynasty really couldn't stand the negotiation method of fighting and making peace between Dazhong and Dazhong, and it really couldn't sustain it, especially when civil strife broke out continuously in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, Zhong Xiangyi's army is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it has the momentum of Fang Layi's army back then.

This also shows how unpopular the Southern Song Dynasty was in the south.

As for Li Cheng and his group, they are flirting with Dazhong again, and they seem to be interested in hitting the shots.

Those in power in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, Zhao Gou, Wang Yanbo, Huang Qianshan, Qin Hui, Zhu Shengfei, etc., were very afraid that Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang would all vote for Dazhong in the end, and then they would destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

In desperation, Zhao Gou, who had been refusing to let go, had to let go. Apart from not recognizing Li Yan as his father, he almost completely accepted Dazhong's conditions.

The final peace agreement reached by the two parties (that is, the "Datong Peace Agreement") is as follows:

The State of Song was a vassal state of Dazhong, which paid tribute to Dazhong every year, and came to court every year (Song paid 30 taels of silver and silk to Dazhong every year), and Li Yan canonized Zhao Gou as the leader of Song Dynasty. At that time, the two countries were called uncle and nephew, and Zhao Gou called Li Yan uncle.

In the south of the two countries, the Yangtze River is the national border—the north of the Yangtze River is owned by Dazhong; the south of the Yangtze River, the north of Hainan Island, the sea in the east, and the Cangshan-Daba Mountain in the west are bounded by the Song Dynasty. The area around the south of the Yangtze River, including the later Shanghai) was owned by Dazhong.

In addition to these two most important, the two sides also have some sporadic treaties.

For example:

The Southern Song Dynasty resolved Zhao Li and Chuzhou.

Dazhong is not allowed to surrender Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang.

The Southern Song Dynasty completely withdrew across the Yangtze River within a month.

and many more……

On the matter of peace negotiation, the Southern Song Dynasty was very sincere and active.

First of all, the Southern Song Dynasty quickly executed Zhao Li, and asked Zhang Jun to incorporate Zhao Li's deployment and take it to the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Zhao Gou moved the capital of the country from Jinling to Lin'an, Hangzhou.

Immediately afterwards, veteran Zong Ze was ordered by Zhao Gou to abandon all positions north of the Yangtze River and withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River.

Coincidentally, Zong Ze had just suffered a big defeat in Yang Yizhong's battle.

There were also Du Chong and others persuading and threatening.

In the end, Zongze had to take his troops across the Yangtze River with hatred.

but--

Although the Middle Song Dynasty negotiated a peace, the Southern Song Dynasty also completely withdrew from the Yangtze River.

But things are not that simple.

This is not simple, and it is mainly reflected in Shaanxi—the Songxi army in Shaanxi rejected the order of the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty to withdraw southward.

No wonder.

The Western Army of the Song Dynasty grew up in Shaanxi for generations, where their home and roots are. How could they be willing to abandon their homes and roots and run to Shu?

This is also the fundamental reason why the Western Song Army still insisted on defending Shaanxi after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Western Song Army was unwilling to withdraw from Shaanxi, and the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had no choice.

In this way, if Dazhong wants Shaanxi, he must send troops to take over Shaanxi.

To be honest, Dazhong was very reluctant to do this.

First of all, Dazhong really can't spare any troops to do this now.

Secondly, the generals and soldiers in the middle and high schools are not willing to do things like Han people beating Han people.

But in the current situation, it is really impossible not to fight.

After listening to the proposal of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Li Yan thought for a whole day before making up his mind - fight!

No fight.

If we don't take advantage of Shaanxi's current chaos and leaderless situation to recover Shaanxi, then after Shaanxi completes the unification, Shaanxi will be difficult to conquer, and it will become a persistent disease that plagues Dazhong.

Therefore, we must fight, even if the current situation is very difficult for Dazhong.

Li Yan has always acted vigorously and resolutely.

Therefore, fight as soon as you say it-soon, Li Yan issued an order to order Zhang Xianbing to leave Tongguan, and Wang Yan to lead an army of [-] from Tokyo to go east across Fuzhou to fully recover Shaanxi (actually northern and central Shaanxi) Southern Shaanxi, that is, the south of Hanzhong, Ankang, and Shangluo, is owned by the Southern Song Dynasty according to the treaty).

In Shaanxi, the current situation is very complicated. It can be said that the four countries are fighting for hegemony.

Therefore, it is not enough to rely solely on fighting, and it must be supplemented by political and diplomatic means.

Li Yan considered that Shaanxi, for a long time to come, will be the national border of Dazhong in the west. ) and other western forces, there is no one who can rest assured and have outstanding ability to sit in Shaanxi, absolutely not.

Ever since, Li Yan transferred Qiu Xian back from Zhongnan and asked him to be the general manager of the Shaanxi capital, fully responsible for the political and civil affairs of Shaanxi.

In addition, the negotiations between Dazhong and Xixia are also going on intensely.

Before the Xixia delegation came to Dazhong, they never expected that Dazhong was so powerful, nor did they expect that the Southern Song Dynasty would give Shaanxi to Dazhong and make Dazhong border with Xixia, and they did not expect that Dajin would also negotiate peace with Dazhong. What's more, Li Yan insisted on being incompatible and not paying tribute, and didn't want to marry his daughter to Xixia, even if it wasn't his own daughter, even if he went to Xixia, he would become a queen. In short, there are too many things that the Xixia mission did not expect happened.

Prior to this, Xixia’s plan was actually to use the opportunity of the Chinese army to fight the Jin army and the Song army in the north and south to stabilize their Xixia, so that Dazhong agreed that Xixia would occupy northern Shaanxi. Zhong became a minister and gave the position of Empress Xixia to Li Yan's daughter.

But looking at it now, it is obvious that this will not work.

As a last resort, Li Zhizhong could only send someone back to Xixia to ask Li Qianshun for instructions: how to talk about it?
During this period, the Zhong Song Dynasty began to implement the "Da Tong He Yi".

When the people Li Zhizhong sent back to ask for instructions came back, the army sent by Dazhong to recover Shaanxi had already set off.

In addition, during this period, the situation in Hedong has also undergone some changes-the Haner in Yundi rebelled and killed the Shuozhou defender. Liu Qi seized the opportunity to attack decisively and regained Shuozhou in one fell swoop. Going out of Yanmen Pass and recovering Yingzhou, in other words, the Chinese army has established a bridgehead in Yundi, and the battle to regain Yundi has begun.

Dazhong sent troops to Shaanxi and the changes in the battlefield situation brought a lot of pressure to Xixia!

You know, no one can guarantee whether the Chinese army will concentrate its forces to kill Hengshan in one fell swoop, and then wipe out Xixia - at this time, if the Chinese army abandons Yundi, it actually has this strength, at least it has this opportunity.

This led to Xixia's urgency to form an alliance-the high-level officials of Xixia didn't want to bear the front of the Chinese army that swept the Jin army.

Another thing also prompted Xixia to urgently form an alliance with Dazhong.

This matter is that, in the case of Yanyun's successive defeats, Dajin finally reached an internal unity and proposed a peace with Dazhong.

However, if China and Jin negotiate a peace, let alone whoever Yanyun belongs to, the Jin people will definitely withdraw from Shaanxi, because Shaanxi is too far away from Jin, and after losing Hedong and Yundi and being attacked by the Chinese army , Jin Guo didn't care about Shaanxi at all.

In fact, when Song and Jin both withdrew from Shaanxi, Xixia also knew that it was impossible for them to compete against Dazhong.

Therefore, Xixia's current goal is no longer to occupy Shaanxi.

What Xixia is more worried about now is where the border between China and Xia is, and whether Dazhong will ask Xia Jun to retreat to the previous border between Song and Xia, that is to say, let Xixia spit out all the food he ate before, what's more? Or, will Dazhong concentrate on destroying Xixia? You know, if Dazhong really negotiates peace with Song and Jin, then the Chinese army can be dispatched. At that time, Dazhong will concentrate on destroying Xixia. It's not entirely impossible.
