Chapter 1368: "Treaty of Qin Yuan and Jinyang" (Chinese)
As soon as he heard Tolei say this, Kublai Khan suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "Father, I believe in my son. This battle cannot be fought at all. Whether it is slaughtering prisoners or transporting food and grass to Zhenbei Pass, it is just a means of Qin Hao trying to force me to compromise. Qin Hao was just bluffing and was unable to send troops to attack Longcheng."
Tuolei shook his head: "Child, it''s not that I don''t believe you, but that the entire Yuan Meng was beaten by Qin Hao. Compared to your analysis, they believe that Qin Hao has the strength.
You also know that no matter whether Qin Hao has the strength to send troops or not, Yuan Meng can no longer bet, and there is no gambling money to continue to bet. So, child, do you understand what I mean? ”
As soon as he heard this, Kublai Khan suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning and collapsed on the ground.
After the father and son were silent for a long time, Kublai Khan stood up, breathed a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "Since that''s the case, for the sake of my great Yuan Dynasty, my son is willing to go to Jinyang to be the host."
Tuole''s eyes were filled with relief and he smiled and said, "Kublai, I have wronged you this time, and I don''t want you to be a scoundrel, but now Yuanmeng is no longer in trouble. Don''t worry, I will appoint you as the crown prince before you leave. After you come back gloriously, I will definitely be the future emperor of my Dayuan."
Tuolei also felt ashamed of his son, so he decided to make Kublai Khan the crown prince to compensate for his debts to Kublai Khan.
If this were the past, Kublai Khan would have been extremely happy, but now Kublai Khan is not happy at all.
The position of prince needs to be exchanged for Jinyang as a proton, and once he really goes to Jinyang, it is second to be humiliated. Whether he can come back alive is the biggest question.
Proton, proton, to put it bluntly, is a hostage.
In the future, if there is any turmoil between Qin and Yuan countries, he, the hostage, will definitely be the first to suffer.
In addition, before leading the army to encircle and suppress Huo Qubing, Kublai Khan forced Huo Qubing into a desperate situation twice. Under his command, the Han army went out to the Frontier suffered heavy casualties. God knows whether Huo Qubing will take revenge on him?
If Huo Qubing is cautious and assassinated privately, Yuan Meng''s naturalization is so weak, and it is impossible to seek justice for him. Once he dies, he will die in vain.
Kublai Khan was not afraid of being humiliated or dying, but he was afraid of dying meaninglessly, but he seemed to have no other choice. Now the entire Yuan Meng was on the verge of destroying the country, and as the prince, he had to shoulder the important task of sharing the worries of the country.
Regarding the peace talks with Qin, Yuan and Mongolia were also named two factions, opposition and approving factions.
The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Hetao made the whole country of Yuan and Meng fear Qin Ruhu. From high-level to civilians, they were unwilling and dared to fight Qin. Therefore, the appointees who agreed to the peace talks were the mainstream, and the opposition was just a small mess and could not affect the overall situation at all.
Shortly after Boyan''s Feiying Pass was sent back, it was reported that Prince Kublai voluntarily went to Jinyang to be hostage for peace. All of a sudden, the whole country praised Kublai Khan for his understanding of justice.
At this point, the biggest differences in the negotiations between Qin and Yuan have disappeared.
Sending a prince as a hostage can be said to be the biggest difference between the two countries'' peace talks. This is not about interests, but about the face of the Yuan and Meng Empire, but Yuan Meng''s last fig leaf.
Now Yuan Meng doesn''t even have the last fig leaf coming, which shows how much Yuan Meng 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, and compared with the principle of sending the prince as a qualifier, such as not being allowed to graze, releasing Han slaves, etc., this is not a matter of matter, 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 Tolei''s peace talks, so he immediately started a new round of negotiations.
As the biggest differences have disappeared, the subsequent negotiations have generally gone very smoothly, but in some interests, the two sides still have considerable differences, and the debate is very strong, which is a must-have.
"Mr. Bowen, your country''s asking price is really too ruthless. My Yuan Dynasty is now resisting the invasion of the Qing Dynasty. We still need a large number of horses to arm the army. We really can''t afford 500,000 war horses to compensate your country. Do you think 300,000 horses?" Boyan said with a pleading look, but Liu Bowen pretended not to see it.
"Boyan Zun Envoy, this is a sacred and solemn negotiation between the two countries. Do you think this is a market buying vegetables, and you can still bargain? The difficulties you mentioned are all your business. You can solve them yourself. None of them can be missing from 500,000 war horses."
"I really can''t get it together. Otherwise, you can think that this is good. Only 300,000 horses will be compensated for the remaining 200,000 horses, can it be better to use cattle, sheep and other treasures to charge the numbers?"
“…”
Liu Bowen also realized that Boyan was not pretending to be poor, but was really beyond the limit that Yuan Meng could bear, and he seemed to overestimate Yuan Meng''s background.
"It''s not impossible, but it still requires 400,000 war horses and another 100,000 to offset them with other things."
"There are really no 400,000 war horses. Look, 320,000 are good? The other 180,000 are used to get the cows and sheep."
"No, at least 480,000..."
After a dry-mouthed debate, the two sides finally paid the total compensation for the horses at 350,000, and the other 150,000 were offset by cattle, sheep or treasures.
At this point, there is no difference in the compensation.
But then, the two sides started a new round of debates on how many cattle and sheep they could fight against a war horse.
Liu Bowen believed that war horses were of high value during wartime, and at least ten sheep could only weigh one horse, while cattle could only weigh five to one horse, while Boyan thought this was too outrageous. The two sides quarreled for a whole hour before they could negotiate the issue.
In this way, the Qin and Yuan peace talks lasted for half a month, and it was extremely difficult to reach twenty-one consensuses. In the end, Boyan, the special envoy representing the Yuan and Mongolia Empire, signed the first treaty of the late Han Dynasty with the Qin army in Jinyang, which later historians called it the "Treaty of the Han and Yuan Jinyang".
The Treaty of Jinyang, Han and Yuan 21:
Article 1: A total of 350,000 horses, 450,000 oxen, 1.3 million sheep, and several treasures of gold, silver, wealth, grain, grass and treasures.
This article is the most profit included in all regulations.
The total number of horses in total, plus the 450,000 seized after the Battle of Hetao and the horses raised in the Jin army''s horse farm, the total number of horses in the Qin army has been nearly one million, which is definitely a very terrifying number.
With so many war horses, no matter how Qin Hao wastes it, it is enough to support the unification of the country.
