Chapter 1369: 'The Treaty of Qin, Yuan and Jinyang' (Part 2)
Chapter 1369: "Treaty of Jinyang between Qin and Yuan Dynasties" (Part 2)
In addition to compensating 350,000 war horses, Yuan Meng also compensated 450,000 cattle and 1.3 million sheep.
This is also not a small number.
Cattle have always been a headache for all princes. After all, if there are more cattle, more farmland can be cultivated. If the number of cattle is not enough, agricultural grain production will naturally not increase.
The Qin Army suddenly had so many more cattle. It is conceivable that in the future, most farmers in Sibin and Jinghe will be able to use cattle, and the Qin Army's agricultural
Development will also be raised to a higher level.
As for the 1.3 million sheep, the sheep can produce milk, and the wool can also be used to knit sweaters. It is foreseeable that the Qin army's animal husbandry and textile industry will also usher in a very big improvement in the future.
"Treaty of Jinyang between Qin and Yuan Dynasty", Article 2: Prince Kublai Khan is sent to Jinyang to be a hostage. The prince will not be allowed to return unless there are major changes in Yuan and Mongolia...
This is also the most important one. Because of this, the peace talks were once unable to proceed.
However, Yuanmeng was already on the verge of national subjugation and was not qualified to negotiate terms with the Qin army. For the safety of the entire country, Tuo Lei could only compromise and reluctantly sent his beloved son Kublai Khan over.
The reason why Qin Hao insisted on Yuan Meng sending protons and designated Kublai Khan was mainly because of Kublai Khan's political attribute of 102.
In the Battle of Hetao, Yuanmeng lost one-third of its total population and nearly half of its young people, but there were still more than two million people in the country. The foundation and foundation of the entire country was still there, but the foundation was completely destroyed by the First World War.
Lighted.
And having a high political talent like Kublai Khan sort out the internal affairs of Yuan and Meng could greatly shorten the recovery period of Yuan and Meng after experiencing the trauma of the war.
Qin Hao did not want Yuan Meng to recover. He wanted Yuan Meng to remain weak, so of course he could not keep Kublai Khan in Longcheng, so he used various means to force him to become a hostage.
After Kublai Khan comes to Jinyang, it will naturally be meat on the chopping board. Qin Hao can eat it whenever he wants. It is absolutely impossible to return to Dragon City.
As for whether Yuan Meng could still stop the Manchus without Kublai Khan? Qin Hao was actually not worried about this issue at all.
Even if Kublai Khan is now in Longcheng, he only plays a minor role in the life-or-death battle between Yuanmeng and the Manchus. The main ones are Murong Ke and Tuo Lei.
In addition, although Kublai Khan left Longcheng, the talents he brought with him still stayed in Yuanmeng. Under the leadership of Murong Ke, these people would never be unable to fight back by the Manchus.
Article 3: The two countries will enter into a marriage alliance and form a good alliance forever. Princess Yushu of Yuan Meng will marry Qin Gong Qin Hao as his equal wife...
This item was not requested by Qin Hao, but was proposed by Boyan later on. Although Qin Hao was not very happy about this, all the ministers were very supportive.
For the Han people, getting married is an extremely humiliating thing. After all, placing peace on a woman is also a sign of the country's weakness.
Since ancient times, whenever the Han Dynasty was weak, it would send princesses to make peace with foreign tribes. But now, foreign tribes don't care about asking for peace, but they actually take the initiative to make peace. This is a grand event that has not happened in many years.
It’s just like things are changing!
Therefore, the officials of the Qin army only felt relieved and honored about the marriage with Yuan Meng.
Qin Hao thought about it and found no reason to object, so he agreed. Anyway, he had nothing to lose as a grown man, so he had the right to marry a vase and go home.
Yuan Meng was self-aware and knew that it was obviously unrealistic to use the captured Princess Zhao Min for marriage, so he asked another Princess Yushu to come and marry Qin Hao.
Yu Shu and Zhao Min were equally famous, and together they were called the two pearls on the grassland. They were young, beautiful, well-educated, and were said to be proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It would not be a bad idea to marry such a vase Qin Hao.
Of course, the reason why Yuan Meng proposed a marriage was actually conditional.
On the surface, Boyan said he was upright and upright, but in fact, he showed off his businessman's face. Now that they have reconciled and got married, Qin Yuan is now a family, so shouldn't the compensation for horses, cattle and sheep be reduced?
Qin Hao naturally did not accept this trick, so he asked Boyan, shouldn't Yuan Meng give a generous dowry to the princess when she marries the Duke?
Boyan choked up after just one sentence and didn't know how to respond.
However, Yuanmeng still got his wish. The civil servants of the Qin army believed that Qin Hao's marriage to Princess Yuanmeng was a very morale-boosting event. The significance was far greater than the superficial benefits, so there was no need to worry about this with Yuanmeng.
In this way, after some bargaining, Princess Yushu paid for 20,000 war horses, 30,000 cattle, and 100,000 sheep alone, and she was sold to Qin Hao by Yuanmeng.
Article 4: Free all Han slaves in Yuan and Meng...
To be honest, this article is actually useless, because the slaves in Yuanmeng were basically reorganized into slave armies, and then most of them were captured by the Qin army, and the rest were just old, weak, sick and disabled
That’s all.
Nowadays, there are not many slaves in Yuanmeng, and among the remaining Han slaves, there are even fewer young and strong ones. Even if the old, weak, sick and disabled come back, they will not be of much help to the Qin army. On the contrary,
Some resources will also be allocated to accommodate them.
On the surface, rescuing slaves is a thankless task, but in the long run, it is a great good thing that is extremely beneficial to the Qin army.
These people lived in a foreign country and became slaves for more than ten years or even decades, and no one remembered them. But now the Qin army remembers them and rescued them because they have a common identity, Han people.
If the people in other places know that the Qin army traveled thousands of miles to rescue so many slaves from Yuan and Meng, it will undoubtedly increase the people's sense of identification with the Qin army, and will also strengthen the pride of the entire nation and the identity of the country.
Therefore, for the Qin army, the symbolic significance of rescuing these poor slaves is far greater than the actual benefits, and it is a business that is absolutely impossible to lose.
Article 5: The new Yuanmeng Emperor Tu Lei must admit his mistakes in the Battle of Hetao and personally apologize to the Han soldiers who died in the battle...
After the treaty was signed, Tuo Lei first issued a guilty edict, and then wrote a letter of apology in his own handwriting, which is now on its way to Jinyang.
It has to be said that compared to Temujin's domineering style, Tuo Lei's softer style is more acceptable in such tense moments, and people from all levels of Yuanmeng have gradually accepted it.
