Chapter 1370 "Treaty of Qin and Yuan Jinyang" (Part 2)

Chapter 1368: "Treaty of Jinyang between Qin and Yuan Dynasties" (Part 2)

As soon as he heard what Tuo Lei said, Kublai Khan suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "Father, I believe my son, this battle cannot be fought at all. Whether it is slaughtering prisoners or transporting grain and grass to Zhenbeiguan, it is just Qin Hao's idea. It’s just a way to force Dayuan to compromise. Qin Hao is just bluffing and has no power to send troops to attack Longcheng.”

Tuo Lei shook his head: "My child, it's not that I don't believe you, but that the whole Yuan Meng is scared by Qin Hao. Compared to your analysis, they believe that Qin Hao has this strength.

You also know that no matter whether Qin Hao has the strength to send troops or not, Yuanmeng can no longer gamble, let alone the money to continue gambling, so my child, do you understand what I mean? "

Upon hearing this, Kublai Khan felt as if he was struck by lightning and collapsed directly on the ground.

After the father and son were silent for a long time, Kublai Khan stood up, exhaled a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, for the sake of my great Yuan Dynasty, I am willing to go to Jinyang as a hostage."

Tuo Lei's eyes were full of relief, and he smiled forcefully and said: "Kublai Khan, my son, I have wronged you this time, and I don't want you to go as hostage, but now Yuanmeng is no longer in trouble, don't worry, I will Before you leave, I will make you the crown prince. When you come back gloriously, you will definitely be the future emperor of my Yuan Dynasty."

Tuolei also felt that he was ashamed of his son, so he decided to make Kublai Khan the prince to compensate for his debt to Kublai Khan.

If this was the case before, Kublai Khan would have been extremely happy, but now Kublai Khan was not happy at all.

The position of the prince was obtained by going to Jinyang as a hostage. Once he really went to Jinyang, the humiliation would be secondary. Whether he could come back alive was the biggest problem.

  Proton, proton, to put it bluntly, is a hostage.

In the future, if any turmoil occurs between Qin and Yuan, he, the hostage, will definitely be the first to suffer.

In addition, before Kublai Khan led the army to encircle and suppress Huo Qubing, he twice forced Huo Qubing into a desperate situation. Under his command, the Han army suffered heavy casualties. God knows whether Huo Qubing will take revenge on him for this?

 out out out out to be cautious and secretly assassinate Huo Qubing?

Kublai Khan was not afraid of humiliation, nor was he afraid of death, but he was afraid of a meaningless death, but he seemed to have no other choice. Now that the entire Yuanmeng was on the verge of annihilation, as the prince, he must shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the country. important task.

Regarding the peace talks with Qin, Yuan and Meng were also divided into two factions, the opposition and the approval faction.

The disastrous defeat at the Battle of Hetao made the whole country of Yuan and Meng fear Qin like a tiger. From the top to the common people, they were unwilling and did not dare to fight Qin. Therefore, the pro-peace faction was the mainstream, and the opposition was just a small minority. He is just a human being and cannot affect the overall situation at all.

Not long after Boyan's flying eagle message was sent back, news came out that Prince Kublai Khan voluntarily went to Jinyang to be a hostage for the sake of peace. Suddenly the whole country was praising Kublai Khan for his understanding of righteousness.

At this point, the biggest differences in the negotiations between Qin and Yuan Dynasty have disappeared.

Sending the prince as a hostage can be said to be the biggest disagreement in the peace talks between the two countries. This is not about interests, but about the face of the Yuanmeng Empire, which can be Yuanmeng's last fig leaf.

Now Yuanmeng doesn't even want this last fig leaf. This shows how much Yuanmeng is afraid of the Qin army. This is the impact of a hearty victory.

There are many regulations in the Qin and Yuan peace talks, but compared with the one about sending the prince as hostage, such as not being allowed to graze, freeing Han slaves, etc., these are nothing to worry about. Everything can be sat down and discussed.

After Boyan, who was far away in Jinyang, received this news, he also roughly understood the bottom line of the Tuolei peace talks, so he immediately started a new round of negotiations.

Since the biggest differences have disappeared, subsequent negotiations have generally gone very smoothly. However, the two sides still have considerable differences in certain interests, and the disputes are so fierce that every detail must be fought.

"Mr. Bowen, your country's asking price is too harsh. We, the Yuan Dynasty, are currently resisting the invasion of the Qing Dynasty. We also need a large number of horses to arm the army. We really can't afford 500,000 horses as compensation to your country. Look, How about three hundred thousand horses?" Boyan said with a pleading look, but Liu Bowen pretended not to see it.

"Your Majesty Boyan, this is a sacred and solemn negotiation between the two countries. If you think this is a market to buy vegetables, can you still bargain? The difficulties you mentioned are your business. You can solve them yourself. Five hundred thousand Not a single war horse should be missing.”

“I really can’t get it together. How about this? I’ll only pay 300,000 horses as compensation, and the remaining 200,000 horses can be made up with cattle, sheep and other treasures.”

　　　…”

Liu Bowen also saw that Boyan was not pretending to be poor, but that he really exceeded the limit of Yuan Meng's ability, and he seemed to have overestimated Yuan Meng's background.

"It's not impossible, but the war horses still need 400,000 horses, and another 100,000 horses can be offset by other things."

“There are really no 400,000 war horses. What do you think of 320,000? The other 180,000 can be paid with cattle and sheep.”

“No, there must be at least 480,000...”

After a dry debate, the two sides finally set the total compensation for war horses at 350,000, and the other 150,000 were offset by cattle, sheep or treasures.

 At this point, there is no disagreement at all on the issue of compensation.

 But then, the two sides started a new round of dispute over how many cattle and sheep could be worth a war horse.

Liu Bowen believed that war horses were of high value during wartime. At least ten sheep could be worth one horse, while five oxen were worth one horse. Boyan thought this was too outrageous, and the two sides argued for a full hour before settling the issue. .

In this way, the Qin-Yuan peace talks stumbled for half a month, and they reached a consensus of twenty-one points with great difficulty. Finally, Boyan, the special envoy representing the Yuan-Meng Empire, signed the first peace treaty in the late Han Dynasty with the Qin army in Jinyang. The treaty was called the Treaty of Jinyang in Han and Yuan Dynasties by later historians.

 The "Treaty of Jinyang in the Han Yuan Dynasty" contains twenty-one regulations:

 Article 1: A total of 350,000 horses, 450,000 cattle, 1.3 million sheep, gold, silver, silk, grain, grass and treasures will be compensated.

 This article contains the greatest benefits among all regulations.

With a total of 350,000 horses, plus the 450,000 horses captured after the Battle of Hetao, as well as the horses raised in the Jin army's horse farm, the Qin army has a total of nearly one million horses. Definitely a very scary number.

With so many war horses, no matter how much Qin Hao used them, they were enough to unify the country.

As soon as it was, thank you for your monthly ticket. Everyone was so powerful. The monthly ticket list in this book was rushed to 13. This is the best result since the shelves. I do n’t know if there is room for rising.

I worked hard all night yesterday and updated four chapters overnight, but I still owe one chapter. Today I will update three chapters at a guaranteed rate. As for the number of chapters to be added in the future, it still depends on the number of monthly votes cast by everyone.

Still, one hundred monthly tickets, plus a chapter, the time of the long holiday of Liuxiang, will be given to you to arrange it.
