The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 427: Longxing Peace Talks: Uncle-Nephew Country
Tang Xuanzong Period
"This Emperor of the Song Dynasty..."

Li Longji rolled up his sleeves.

"Impatient and indecisive."

Zhang Xun shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, there is a great drawback in Song Dynasty politics, which is the tradition of factional strife."

"It is normal for ministers in the court to have different opinions and disputes. If they can discuss the matter objectively, limit the dispute to the problem itself, and put the overall situation first in the national interest, then there is still a chance for the two factions to compromise and cooperate."

"The war faction is mostly patriotic and full of enthusiasm, taking it as their mission to recover the Central Plains."

"It is not appropriate to simply regard the peace advocates as surrenderists. After all, there are not many traitors like Qin Hui."

Li Longji humbly asked for advice:

"So what's the problem?"

Zhang Xun pursed his lips, looked at Li Longji's frank attitude of seeking knowledge, and said:

"Debates over political positions often turn into emotional disputes, targeting people instead of issues, and uniting the party against the dissidents."

"The war faction attacks the peace faction as selling out the country for personal gain, which is not entirely true."

"Similarly, the peace faction's attack on the war faction is a quest for fame and honor, and is even more unreasonable."

"The two sides are arguing endlessly, and even if the emperor wants to restore the country, he is caught in a dilemma."

……

[In June, Emperor Xiaozong of Song allowed Tang Situi, a representative of the peace faction, to return to office.]

[In July, he was appointed as the right prime minister. At the same time, Zhang Tao, Xin Ciying and Wang Shipeng, who advocated war, left the court one after another.]

[In August, Song Xiaozong restored Zhang Jun's post as commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai military.]

[In November, the commander of the Jin army, Pushan Zhongyi, sent a letter to the Southern Song Dynasty, stating that the terms of peace talks were: the Song Emperor and the Jin Emperor would become uncle and nephew, the Song Dynasty would return the occupied Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng prefectures, return the Jin people who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and make up for the annual tribute since the end of Shaoxing.]

[Song Gaozong came forward to support the peace faction, and Song Xiaozong continued to send envoys to negotiate peace.]

【In December, the left prime minister Chen Kangbo resigned due to illness and recommended Zhang Jun to Song Xiaozong to replace him. Song Gaozong ordered Tang Situi to be promoted to the left prime minister, with a higher status than the right prime minister Zhang Jun, to restrain him.】

……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
Gao Yang smacked his lips.

"You are such a piece of stinky shit..."

"Why are you everywhere?"

……

Nanliang.

Xiao Yan looked at the sky, motionless.

"Party strife..."

Disagreements in the court are not a bad thing.

The key is whether the host can listen to both sides and make a wise decision.

Only in this way can we make the best decision and be able to act freely no matter what situation arises in the future.

But there are two backbones.

……

[In the first month of 1164, encouraged by the pro-war faction, Song Xiaozong sent Hu Fang to the Jin camp to state that the Song Dynasty refused to return the four states, otherwise the peace talks would be terminated. The peace talks reached a deadlock.]

[Song Xiaozong ordered Zhang Jun to inspect the troops in Lianghuai and make full preparations for a decisive battle with the Jin army.]

[Zhang Jun recruited more than 10,000 loyal and righteous men from Shandong and Huaibei to supplement the regular troops in Jiankang and Zhenjiang, repaired the fortifications of the castles in Lianghuai, and added warships in Jianghuai, ready to be dispatched at any time.]

【Tang Situi and his accomplices attacked Zhang Jun in every possible way, slandering him as "claiming to be prepared for defense, but not necessarily being able to defend, claiming to be in charge of the army, but not necessarily having well-trained soldiers."】

[In April, Emperor Xiaozong of Song summoned Zhang Jun back to the court and dismissed him from his position as prime minister.]

On August 28, Zhang Jun died on his way out of Beijing. His will said: "I was once a prime minister, but I was unable to recover the Central Plains and avenge the shame of my ancestors. I am not worthy of being buried next to my ancestors' tombs after my death. It is enough for me to be buried at the foot of Mount Heng."

[Before he died, he was still asking whether the imperial court had given up the four states.]

……

{Zhang Jun failed to recover the Central Plains and did not bury his ancestors.}
{Zong Ze shouted "cross the river" three times before he died!}

{Yue Fei returned home in tears and died unjustly.}
{Wu Lin bitterly abandoned the three routes and thirteen states...}
{The Northern Song Dynasty lacked strong generals, and the Southern Song Dynasty lacked strong prime ministers. The Song Dynasty was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Jin Dynasty. In fact, it was all because of the incompetence of the emperor. It was a pity for the patriotic generals at that time, and it was pitiful for the people at that time.}
{He indirectly killed Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, dismantled Yue's army and Han's army, leaving the Southern Song Dynasty without any soldiers left to fight, and saved his own life. Is this also called a strong general?}

{Emm, is it possible that it was Zhang Jun, not Zhang Jun!}
……

【After Zhang Jun's death, the peace faction in the court gained more power. 】

[In order to speed up the peace talks, Tang Situi abolished all border defenses, stopped building Shouchun City, disbanded the Wannu Camp, stopped repairing ships, and withdrew the troops from the four states of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng.] [Zhang Jun's efforts to fight against the Jin soldiers were destroyed in a short period of time.]

【The Southern Song destroyed the Great Wall, and the Jin soldiers were not polite. 】

[In order to force the Southern Song Dynasty to accept the peace agreement, the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to march south and successively conquered Chuzhou, Haozhou, and Chuzhou. The southeast was shaken.]

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng felt this scene was familiar.

The six kingdoms served Qin?

Southern Song Dynasty served Jin?

Well...it's still a little different.

The people of the six countries are so smart.

This Southern Song...it would be great if he were from an enemy country!
……

The period of Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty
"Don't these people read history books and understand basic principles?"

Liu Zhuang was so angry that his head hurt!
"Without weapons and swords, will the enemy still negotiate with you?"

"I really want to beat him to death!"

……

[The Jin army marched into Huainan again, occupied Chuzhou and Chuzhou, and once again formed a position close to the river. ]

【Song Xiaozong dismissed the left prime minister Tang Situi (who died in exile soon after), but under the intervention of Song Gaozong, he had to issue an edict: "I dare not disobey the will of the Supreme Being" to negotiate peace.】

[The conditions proposed by the Southern Song Dynasty were that the borders of the two countries would remain based on the boundary drawn in the Shaoxing Peace Agreement, with the Huai River in the east and Dasan Pass in the west.]

【The annual tribute was changed to annual payment, and the annual payment of silver and silk was reduced by 50,000 each. 】

[The Southern Song returned Jin prisoners of war, but did not repatriate those who defected.]

[Song no longer called Jin a vassal, but called it a nephew.]

[In terms of the format of the credential, the format for Song's letter to Jin was "My nephew Emperor Song respectfully presents this letter to the Emperor Shengming Renxiao of the Great Jin Dynasty", while the format for Jin's letter to Song was "My uncle Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty presents this letter to my nephew Emperor Song".]

[The Southern Song gave up the land it had recovered, and Jin Shizong also made some concessions, no longer chasing those who had fled south, and also agreed to reduce the annual tribute by 50,000.]

[Thus, after the two sides exchanged envoys, they signed a new treaty in the first year of Qiandao (1165)]

[Although the two sides formally signed the peace agreement in the first year of Qiandao, it was basically agreed upon in December of the second year of Longxing, so it is called the "Longxing Peace Agreement" in history.]

……

Later Tang Dynasty: Zhuangzong Period
"Is there a difference?"

Li Cunxu thought of that bastard Shi Jingtang.

The source of chaos!

……

Later Zhou Dynasty: Emperor Shizong's reign
"Trade personality for national dignity."

Guo Rong sighed.

"It's okay, at least I'm not a vassal anymore."

……

Great Song.

"Oh! Pah!"

A streak of white shot into the sky!
"The Chanyuan Alliance is still a brotherly alliance after all!"

"Can changing the annual tribute to annual payment change the facts?"

"You are deceiving yourself! You are deceiving yourself!"

……

【Song Xiaozong was determined to conquer the Central Plains, but he was born at the wrong time and history did not provide him with such an opportunity. Jin Shizong, who ruled the Central Plains at that time, was known as "Little Yao and Shun".】

【During his reign, the Jin Dynasty's production developed, finances were abundant, and the political situation was stable. 】

[In terms of military strength, the Song and Jin armies were almost evenly matched, and neither side could hope to defeat the other by chance. Song Xiaozong's "intention to use military force was ultimately unsuccessful."]

[Military performance: D-level, one point]
