Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 334 Yanjing Treaty

In the letter, Zhu Wu made a promise to guarantee the life and property safety of these important Liao officials, and even the life safety of every Khitan. -< >-

But Zhu Wu also put forward his own conditions. The first condition is that the Khitan people no longer have the lofty status they used to have, and they will be equal to the Han people in the future.For this condition, Xiao Fengxian and others accepted it.Now that the Liao Kingdom has been subjugated, as long as the Khitan people do not become slaves to the Han people, it is fine. As for equality between the two races, it is even more of an extravagant hope. They never thought that Liangshan would agree to such a condition.

The second condition was that all the Khitan people should change their surnames to Han. For this condition, Xiao Fengxian and others found it difficult to accept, as they all felt that this was an insult to the Khitan people.

The third condition is that all Khitan people wear Han clothes and learn Han culture.Xiao Fengxian and others were quite hesitant about this. In fact, speaking of the truth, there are many Khitan people who learn Han culture. It has been Sinicized, but let their whole family be completely Sinicized, and they still feel a little uncomfortable.

The fourth condition is to allow intermarriage between Khitan people and Han people. After the intermarriage between the two races, whether it is a Khitan woman marrying a Han man, or a Han woman marrying a Khitan man, their children must become true Han in the future!

This last point was especially unacceptable to them.

"The Han people want to completely exterminate our Khitan people!" Yeluchun said with a sneer.

In the Liao Kingdom, intermarriage between Han people and Khitan people was also very common, but it was usually Han women who married Khitan men as wives and concubines, and their children also belonged to the Khitan nationality.But according to the last article of the treaty, as long as they marry, their children will all be Han Chinese. Given time, how many Khitans will there be left in Yanyun?Unless the Khitan people only intermarry with Khitan people, and never intermarry with Han people again.

"I can't accept this condition." Xiao Fengxian also said.

They wanted to surrender, but they were unwilling to let the Khitan tribe die completely.

"Also, we have to put forward our own conditions! We can surrender, but we have to let the Han people set aside a place for us in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and all Khitan people will move to that place in the future, then This place allows us Khitans to self-control, form our own vassal, and establish a vassal king! From now on, we Khitans will only be a vassal state of the Han people, not their subjects, what do you think?" Yelu Chun said.

"This..." Xiao Fengxian felt that this idea was good, but he felt that it was impossible for Liang Shan to agree to such a condition.

"Master Li, you have been here for a long time, why have you kept silent?" Yeluchun looked at Li Chuwen and asked coldly.

"I think His Royal Highness King Jin is really wishful thinking! The Liangshan army is so powerful, if they are willing, they will be able to take down Yanjing City sooner or later! If you were a Liangshan Han, would you agree to such absurd conditions? I am afraid that this condition has just been raised. Come out, the Han people will end the peace talks, and then attack Yanjing with heavy troops." Li Chuwen said disdainfully.

"Okay, you are a Han Chinese, have you started to speak for the Han people now?" Yeluchun said angrily.

"I'm just telling the truth! To this day, you and I are just ministers of subjugation." Li Chuwen said flatly.

"I think it is necessary to invite the envoys of the Han people to have a good discussion." Xiao Feng first saw that the two were about to quarrel, and hurriedly tried to dissuade them.

It was just that it was getting late at the moment, Xiao Fengxian thought that the Han envoy might have fallen asleep, so he ordered someone to invite Cao Zheng over the next morning.

******

Cao Zheng is meditating silently in the Lifan Courtyard at this moment, the more important the moment is, the more he must be calm.

In the early morning of the second day, accompanied by a group of officials from the Lifan Academy, he went to the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom.

When he arrived at the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom and saw the majestic palaces in front of him, his heart was filled with excitement again, so he suppressed it immediately and strode forward.

At the gate of the palace, Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Qian and others were already standing there waiting.These people are extremely bitter in their hearts. Thinking back to when the Liao Kingdom was at its strongest, no matter if it was the envoys from Song Dynasty or Xixia, they would only send a few eunuchs or guards to greet them at the door. There have never been so many ministers. Let's meet the envoy together.More than ten years ago, when Tong Guan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, came to Yanjing City, he had never enjoyed such treatment.

At this moment, they felt more and more the atmosphere of the imminent demise of the Liao Kingdom. Thinking of the pain, everyone was very sad.

"Lord Cao!" Seeing Cao Zheng approaching, these ministers all saluted.

"Lord Xiao, His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness King Xi, Lord Li..." Cao Zheng replied with a smile, but he recognized these people clearly.

"Lord Cao actually recognizes us?" Xiao Fengxian asked in surprise.

"I've seen your portraits before I came here, so I recognize you." Cao Zheng smiled.

In fact, as the person in charge of intelligence in the Central Plains, he has observed countless portraits of the important ministers of the Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom. He has carefully studied the intelligence of each important minister. It is not surprising that he can recognize these people at a glance.

"Master Cao, please come in quickly!" Xiao Fengxian hurriedly said.

After Xiao Fengxian entered the palace, he also came to the Dayi Hall, where the maid had already brought the good green tea, and Cao Zheng had already sat down.

"I don't know if you have read the letter from our deputy commander in Hedong? Are you willing to surrender?" Cao Zheng smiled.

"Surrender is fine, but we want to be independent. From now on, Daliao will be a vassal state of Liangshan. What do you think?" Xiao Fengxian said hesitantly.

"Such an absurd idea, do you think we will agree? The reason why we surrendered Yanjing City instead of sending troops to attack Yanjing City is not that we can't defeat it, but that we don't want to continue wasting our troops here!" Cao Zheng was speechless. Laughing, he didn't expect these remnants of the Liao Kingdom to say such absurd things.

"You said in your letter that you defeated our hundreds of thousands of troops, what evidence do you have?" Yeluchun suddenly said coldly.

"Soon, your Liao captives will return from the north," Cao Zheng said.

"Captive?" Yeluchun was taken aback.

"One hundred thousand prisoners of war! They will be able to come to the city of Yanjing in at most two or three days, and then you will know whether it is true or not. You can surrender after they return, what do you think?" Cao Zhengdao.

Hearing Cao Zheng's words, no matter Yeluchun, Xiao Fengxian or the other ministers were completely desperate.Since hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by Liang Shan, how strong would Liang Shan be?Is there any other way to go now than to surrender?

"I don't know how you will treat our Daliao prisoners of war?" After a long time, Xiao Fengxian said.

"We will not kill prisoners, but we will not release them easily. They have to serve Liangshan for three years before they can be released and become civilians." Cao Zhengdao.

They were relieved to hear that those prisoners of war did not need to be killed or served life-long hard labor.Only three years of hard labor, they can accept it in their hearts.

"My labor in Liangshan is different from other places. We will guarantee at least three hours of rest every day. In addition, we will make them eat and drink enough! If they do well, they can even be released early." Cao Zheng said again .

Labor labor in this era is also very hard. Generally speaking, you have to work all day and night, and some even cannot rest for several days. Often, [-]% to [-]% of those who die in labor labor, such as Liangshan almost none.Hearing this, Xiao Fengxian and others couldn't believe it, and they were all dumbfounded.

"In short, the treatment of those prisoners of war will not be bad, so you can rest assured." Cao Zheng smiled.

"I heard that every time you occupy a place in Liangshan, you have to fight local tyrants and divide the land. Now that you have occupied Yanyun, you still have to do the same? Yanyun and I, the Khitans, have a lot of property. Will it be distributed to you Han people in the future?" Yeluchun said coldly again.

"About this, we have not yet reached a conclusion, and we are still discussing it internally! Mr. Zhu Wu thinks that such a brutal policy cannot be implemented in the Yanyun area. He has already written to me, the governor of Liangshan, and I believe there will be one soon. Come to the conclusion. But whether or not the local tyrants are really hunted down and the land is divided, there will be no problems with the property and land of you and your relatives, I can guarantee this." Cao Zhengdao.

"Okay, let's just believe your words! It's just that, except for the first one, we can't accept the few things you Mr. Zhu Wu said in your heart, especially the last one." Xiao Fengxian Again.

"Those conditions are quite benevolent. You Khitans, as subjugated people, can maintain the same status as our Han people. You should feel lucky! If the Jurchens conquered the Sixteen States of Yanyun, I am afraid that you Khitans will be able to survive. From now on, you Khitan people will become slaves of the Jurchens. Now you should not expect too much. If you ask too much, I will not negotiate with you any longer. We are coming to attack the city! When our army captures this place, those conditions will still be enforced, and you will all become prisoners, and you will not have any good fate." Cao Zheng said slowly.

Cao Zheng's words were full of threats, but Xiao Fengxian and the others suddenly fell silent. They were all tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.Speaking of it, the ministers of the Liao Kingdom were "indispensible" for being able to destroy the country. If they were truly strong and loyal ministers, they would have already sacrificed their lives for the country, and it would be impossible to negotiate with Cao Zheng here.Now that Cao Zheng has become stronger, they all softened all of a sudden.

"Where is our emperor of Daliao? How will you treat him?" After a long time, Xiao Fengxian asked again.

"He will be the same as the current emperor of Koryo. He will still enjoy the wealth and wealth, but will lose his power." Cao Zhengdao.

Cao Zheng discussed for a long time with these important ministers of the Liao Kingdom in the palace, and finally reached an agreement. These people agreed to open the city gate and surrender when the prisoners of war arrived.

In the afternoon, Cao Zheng was sent out of the palace, and this time he visited Yanjing City accompanied by several important ministers of the Liao Kingdom.In addition to the imperial palace, there are many grand buildings in Yanjing City, which are generally used for national sacrifices. These buildings are full of Khitan style, which is very different from the mainland. Cao Zheng was very impressed.At this moment, those important ministers of the Liao Kingdom gave up all their illusions and truly regarded themselves as people who had subjugated the country. Xiao Si first looked at Cao Zheng, but suddenly remembered the matter of his daughter.To watch the first release without advertisement, please go to -< >-
