Chapter 336 There was Huo Huoqi in ancient times, but now there is Jia Xiaosan!
The Wara Khan court was breached, and the news that Khan, Kedun and other relatives were taken captive to Liangzhou reached Prince Teng and A Luotai almost at the same time.
Wang Ziteng was both surprised and delighted, wishing he could hug his nephew Xue Pan who he had never looked down upon before and hold him high.
Afterwards, they tried their best to mobilize [-] elites from all over the place to attack Zhuang Langwei, who was in the middle of Lanzhou and Liangzhou, in order to open up the passage to Liangzhou Wei as soon as possible, and support Liangzhou to fight against the possible outbreak of the Wala army.
Compared with Wang Ziteng's surprise, A Luotai who was stationed in Xining City seemed to have heard a big joke after seeing the messenger of Chang Wei, the commander of the Ningxia Central Guard.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"My uncle knew that the grand master might not believe it, so he specially asked me to give the grand master a gift."
The messenger was neither humble nor overbearing, and handed over the exquisite wooden box with great grace.
After A Luotai saw the wooden box, her eyes narrowed.
The previous dynasty was destroyed, and the Golden Family fled back to the grassland to establish the Northern Dynasty. The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom was collected by Daxia. The Northern Dynasty lost the jade seal, so they found a piece of sapphire to carve the Northern Dynasty Emperor's Seal, and made do with it.
Later, the Northern Dynasty was divided into two, and Oala became powerful, so he took this seal as his own, and it has been handed down for three generations.
Yilan fled and was captured, and this seal became Daxia's spoils of war.After seeing this seal and a letter under the seal, Mrs. A Luo had to believe that the Wara Khan Court might have really been breached.
That letter was not written by Yilan, but by Aluotai's daughter, Wala Ketunchoros Lanqiduo himself.
Mrs. Ah Luo finished reading the letter and remained silent for a long time.
The messenger saw Mrs. A Luo staring at the seal with a gloomy face, so he stood aside and observed the changes in the expression of the Grand Master Wala with great interest.
As for the wrath warriors in the hall whose eyes were burning with anger, the messenger didn't even look at them. With the captive chief in his hand, he was fearless.
"What does Jia Cong want?"
Mrs. Ah Luo once thought of ignoring this matter, but looking at the long list of captives, she finally resisted the impulse and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, Jia Cong sent you here specially, what are your requirements?" ?”
The messenger smiled slightly: "The grand master is quick to speak, I admire it. My uncle asked the grand master to go to Liangzhou. Of course, the Oirat warriors under the grand master's command don't have to go. I'd like to ask the grand master to let the [-] troops return to the grassland as soon as possible for comparison." Good. After all, the Tatars should have received the news."
snort!
The Tatars would have received the news so quickly, and if there were no Han people involved, they would not believe it.
Ah Luo snorted coldly: "Go back and tell the Jia family's son, the Grand Master has agreed to this matter..."
"Master, the southerners are insidious and cunning, don't do it!"
"Yes, grand master, who knows if there is a fraud in it..."
"Quiet!"
Ah Luo stopped the exclamation of the generals in the middle of the hall, and said to the generals: "The two countries will not fight each other. The southerners claim to be the king of heaven. Since the Jia family wants my grand master to go to Liangzhou to negotiate, then why should I go to Liangzhou to negotiate?" The grand master agreed to him. If you want to be a county uncle of a country, you can't do the nasty thing of beheading an envoy of a country."
After reassuring the general, Ah Luo looked at Chang Wei's messenger.
"This grand master will let Oala's son return to the north of the Great Wall, but you must also show due sincerity. We can talk about it, but the location needs to be changed, let Jia's son come to Changning Fort!"
The news of Xining Mansion quickly spread back to Liangzhou. The two sides confronted each other back and forth and tested each other. In the end, both sides took a step back and set the negotiation location at the junction of Yongchangwei and Wala, on the north side of the Great Wall of Ningyuan Fort.
According to the tentative agreement reached by Wala, the [-] troops withdrew from Xining Mansion, crossed the Qilian Mountain Pass, and withdrew from the territory of Daxia under the supervision of the Liangzhou army.
Of course, when the Oirat army withdrew from Xining Mansion, they packed up and took away all the property in the city, not even leaving a grain of rice to the Xining army.
Qi Wenliang's men watched helplessly as the Oirat Tartars robbed the treasury, but there was nothing they could do.The main forces of the Xining army were all confronting the imperial court by the Yellow River, and the crooked melons and jujubes left in the city couldn't even hold their knives firmly in the face of the Tartars.
Fortunately, Ah Luo was too sensible and knew that nothing outrageous would be done at this time. The Tartars were mainly targeting the Xining army, and did not do anything to the people.
Jia Cong was happy to see Qi Wenliang's joke, but let the Liangzhou army "gift" the Wala people to leave the country.At the same time, arrange military and political affairs in Liangzhou, and set off for Ningyuan Fort with Luo Zhijie, the commander of Yongchangwei, and the special envoy of Prince Liu Hong, Qianhu Qiushi, the Fusi of Longjinwei Township.
……
Before the negotiations even started, the Lanzhou frontline had already sensed a reversal in the offensive and defensive momentum.
Qi Wenliang didn't expect that the Wala people would suddenly turn their backs and turn the Xining Mansion upside down, looting the treasury and leaving.
The 10,000+ troops on the front line do not know how much food and grass they consume every day by eating horses and chewing horses. Once they turn their faces, it will directly lead to the shortage of food and grass on the front line, and it is the kind that cannot be replenished.
It can be tolerated for a day or two, but who can endure without food for three to five days?And you still have to fight with the enemy every day, how can you have strength if you don't eat?
As the imperial army's offensive became more and more fierce, one night in early June, finally the Xining army couldn't stand it anymore.
Ying Xiao, a sudden Ying Xiao ignited the first fire towards Qi's family.
Then it intensified, and on the hundred-mile-long front, almost all the cities and forts occupied by the Xining Army successively experienced camp screaming incidents.
Although the generals of the Xining Army responded quickly and sent cronies to suppress it.But the consequences of iron blood suppression are more serious than imagined.
The soldiers in Xining panicked, and large-scale deserters began to appear. Some even hacked their leaders to death on the battlefield, and ran to the direction of the imperial army to abandon their weapons and surrender.
Wang Ziteng has received Jia Cong's detailed report, and he understands that Wala's backstab directly emptied the Xining army's food and grass reserves.
Immediately send orders everywhere to start a large-scale strategic counterattack.
Seven cities were conquered in seven days, [-] were beheaded, and as many as [-] were surrendered by the Xining army.The Xining army, which was suppressing the imperial army a month ago, fell like a mountain and retreated three hundred miles.
Wang Ziteng's tent moved almost every day, and soon he set up camp thirty miles east of Xining City.
Prince Liu Hong has already arrived at Ningyuan Castle to join Jia Cong as quickly as possible after regaining Zhuanglang Town.
The negotiation at this time has actually come to an end, and A Luo is too anxious to rush back to the Wara Khan Court to preside over the overall situation, and he doesn't have much thought to bargain with Jia Cong.
Because the Tatars tore up the contract signed with Wala two years ago, the army invaded the territory of Wala and looted wantonly, almost killing half of Wala.
He knew the news about the Tatars, nine out of ten it was from Jia Cong.But he can do nothing, because this is a struggle between countries, there is no moral at all.
If he stood in Jia Cong's perspective, he would do the same.
The arrival of Prince Liu Hong relieved Jia Cong a lot of pressure. Don't look at him forcibly pushing forward the negotiation with Wala with the king's golden mace, but there are some things that the emperor can do and the prince can do.
Negotiations were suspended, and after Liu Hong and Ah Luo met for a while, the two sides temporarily returned to camp.
Jia Cong presented the negotiated treaty to the crown prince, and Liu Hong carefully read the thirteen treaties that had been drawn up.
Four of the most important are:
First, Oala paid tribute to Daxia and professed his minister, and Oirat Khan Yilan called Emperor Yuanyou of Daxia the emperor's uncle through his sons and nephews.The Emperor of Daxia conferred the title of Wara Khan as the King of Shunyi County, and bestowed him with a gold seal, a crown, and other ceremonial ceremonies.
Second, Oirat sent the prince to study in Daxia Guozijian, and the emperor of Daxia would personally raise Oirat's future Khan.At the same time, he is obliged to protect the safety of Prince Oara and send him back to Oara when he becomes an adult.If King Khan passed away early, Daxia is obliged to help the prince inherit the Khan throne.
Third, Oala compensated for all the losses of Daxia in this war, a total of 300 million taels of silver, and returned the Han people who were plundered by the Southern Invasion in the early years.
Fourth, Oirat used cattle and sheep to redeem the relatives and nobles of Oirat who were captured by Daxia. Except for the Khan's family, the total value was 500 million taels.
It is difficult to raise the money for the previous compensation, cattle, sheep and tiles, but the benevolence of the Celestial Dynasty allows Wala to repay it in installments within five years at the interest rate of the loan of silver from the Ministry of Households of the Celestial Dynasty.
……
"Eight million taels? Brother Cong, you are really... Elder Wen Ge will definitely treat you like his own son!"
Liu Hong no longer knew how to describe his astonishment. Counting the remaining cattle and sheep in Wala, if Wala could make up half of it, he would not have to go south every year to hunt grass valleys.
Jia Cong smiled shyly: "Actually, I mentioned 800 million taels at the beginning, but it's a pity that A Luo too stubbornly disagreed, and almost fought with me."
hiss!
"It's me, I'm fighting with you too, we're not ready for the Northern Expedition yet, we can't push the Tartars too hard."
Liu Hong picked up a pen to delete, delete, and modify the draft treaty. The general direction remained the same, but it was refined a lot.
For example, a mutual market was added, and the three-year one tribute was changed to one year one tribute.The establishment of an embassy by Oirat in the capital was deleted, and Oirat was directly included in the reception scope of the Ministry of Rites and Tongguan, allowing its envoys to settle in the Sifang Pavilion like other vassal states.
At the same time, another item was added. After the negotiation, Oirat Khan Yilan had to go to the capital to meet the emperor to accept the canonization.
"There is also Changning Fort and other Daxia territories occupied by Oirat in the past, which must be returned. As for the trade of salt and iron with Guochao mentioned by Aluotai, it can be allowed. You can ask him again, do you want to buy Daxia? You can sell Xia Junbing and firearms to him. If you don’t have enough money, you can exchange it with cattle and sheep. If you don’t have enough cattle and sheep, you can lease some land near Xingdusi in Shaanxi to the imperial court.”
Jia Cong looked at the prince dumbfounded, and said in a daze, "Fourth brother, have you turned black?"
Liu Hong imitated Jia Cong's appearance just now, and smiled shyly: "Sometimes it's good to be shameless. We can't let the Tatars monopolize the grasslands. If the Tatars overwhelm the Oirats, we will help Oirats. If the Oirats overpower the Tatars, we will help them." Help the Tartars, anyway, as long as the grassland can stay in chaos."
……
Mrs. Ah Luo really wanted to throw this nineteen-article treaty on Jia Cong's face and walk away, but he could only resist and signed his name.
Fortunately, many of these clauses are still beneficial to Wala in Aluotai's view.
For example, Daxia lifted the decades-long salt and iron embargo against Oirat, and lifted the ban on arms purchases to Oirat.
This is like a timely rain for Oala at the moment. After signing the treaty, Aluotai will use the land north of Shaanxi Xingdusi with a total area of 20 square kilometers in exchange for salt and iron tea of up to 500 million taels of silver and Daxia's tea. firearm.
Five million taels sounds like a lot, but the blackened prince Liu Hong and the "profiteer" Jia Cong exaggerated the cost of firearms. Even though Ah Luo knew that the other party was a lion, he still signed the contract.
Because in his opinion, it is worthwhile to exchange the 20 square kilometers of deserted land for thousands of firecrackers, dozens of cannons, and carts of Yanba iron ore tea.
Of course, he understood that Great Xia supported Wala by lifting the embargo and opening up the trade market. To put it bluntly, he wanted the prairie dog to bite the dog.
But Ah Luo didn't think of refusing too much, and he couldn't refuse.Even if it was drinking poison to quench thirst, he admitted it.
As for whether Yi Lan recognizes her or not, Mrs. Ah Luo never considered it at all.Wala belonged to the Borjijin family in name, but in fact his surname was Chuoros long ago.
If he doesn't recognize Yilan, he has to admit it!
After Wang Ziteng received Liu Hong's letter, he was in a daze. For the first time, he began to face up to Da Xia, the young prince.
The treaty with Oala was signed by Liu Hong as the prince of Daxia with Aluotai. There will be too many unforeseen changes in the future, and this treaty is full of various controversies.
If the treaty is passed back to the capital, it will inevitably be provoked and impeached.
Wang Ziteng knew about the peace talks with Wala, but he had always thought that Jia Cong would take the blame for the court.
I don't want Liu Hong to rush to Liangzhou despite his own persuasion after opening the passage to Liangzhou, and even snatch the pot and carry it on his back...
"Your Highness doesn't want Jia Cong to be criticized by others, he is really a benevolent and righteous king!"
It's a pity that his prince Teng is destined to miss such a king. After this battle is over and the Western Regions are pacified, it will be the best ending for him to be disarmed and return to the fields to survive.
Ah Luo was too anxious to rush back to Wala to take charge of the overall situation, and Liu Hong and Jia Cong were not too embarrassed. Except for Yilan's family and a few Khan's cronies, all the captured Wala relatives were returned to Ah Luotai, so that He brought it back to Oara Khan Court to stabilize the domestic situation.
The crisis in Liangzhou was completely resolved. Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to prepare to attack the Shandan, Gaotai and other guards that were still resisting, as well as Xining Mansion, which was besieged by Wang Ziteng.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hong tied Jia Cong to the horse on the third day after the signing of the treaty, and arranged two thousand elites to escort him, Yilan and others back to the capital.
He was really afraid of Jia Cong, and if he let him stay in Hexi, he didn't know how many unexpected events would happen, one tile would be enough to overwhelm the court.
It's better to be on the safe side, I really can't bear it!
……
After leaving Liangzhou, the unwilling Jia Cong also became willing.
This is the first time he has been away from home for so long. It was snowing heavily when he came, and it was already hot summer when he returned.
After passing the Dasan Pass, the peace and tranquility in the pass dissipated everyone's tense emotions.This year's spring plowing, the imperial court arranged for important officials to go to Guanzhong to promote the planting of potatoes, and now it is the harvest season.
A group of people went from Guanzhong to Henan to Gyeonggi, and the people who had harvested a full warehouse of grain were all joyful, and there were waves of people who kowtowed and shouted long live to the capital.
At first, Yi Lan thought that Daxia deliberately acted for him, but as the real situation of a state and a county was presented to him, he finally discovered to his horror that Daxia was different, and there were no Han people restricted by hunger. , that would be Wala... no, that would be a disaster for the whole world!
On July 29, Jia Cong and his party, who were on their way with all their might, finally returned to Daxia Capital.
At almost the same time, there was also the news of the success of Xining Hexi.
Pingxi General Wang Ziteng regained Xining on July 21, killing more than [-] troops and taking more than [-] prisoners.
Qi Wenliang slayed himself, and the rest of the rebel generals were captured or died. The rebellion in Xining was officially put down.
So far, the four major feudal towns in the east, west, north, south, and north that were once in a semi-separate state have all been abolished. Except for the Jimi Prefecture on the border, the central government and local government orders have been integrated into one without any constraints.
Originally, according to the usual practice, Jia Cong would wash and change clothes in the official post, remove the wind and dust, and then enter the palace to have an audience.
Don't want to just step into Yongning Gate, he saw the great eunuch Xia Shouzhong next to the emperor.
"Oh my uncle, you are finally back. Hurry up and enter the palace with this old slave. The emperor has been waiting for several days."
what?
Jia Cong stuffed Xia Shouzhong into the carriage in a daze, and drove all the way to the Qinzheng Hall without stopping after entering Daxia Gate.
"The minister Jia Cong pays homage to Yan..."
"Don't say goodbye, come with me, my father has seen me these few days and asked me where you are..."
The emperor directly pulled Jia Cong's wrist and walked out. As long as Jia Cong slowed down a little, he would knock on Jia Cong's head.
Just like that, the emperor knocked on melons, and Jia Cong begged for mercy all the way.
The servants who met on the road avoided one after another, sighing in their hearts that Uncle Yongfeng is more favored than princes and grandchildren.
The young palace people sighed again and again, but some old people were no longer surprised.
An elderly servant chuckled and said to his godson in a low voice: "What is this? Rong Kingdom... No, it's Prince Rong now. When Prince Rong was alive, the concubines, concubines, None of the saint's descendants can compare to Lord Rong's position in the heart of the saint. Do you know what the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan said to the old prince Yizhong? It is enough for a saint to have Prince Rong, and he doesn't need any concubines at all."
……
Not seeing each other for several months, the Supreme Emperor seems to have aged a lot.
The Supreme Emperor, who had a few black hairs before, is now full of silver hair.
Fortunately, the old man's spirit looks pretty good. After seeing Jia Cong, he smiled and waved to him, but when he raised his hand, his brain collapsed.
"You bastard, why do you dare to do anything? You are not afraid of self-defeating, trapping those thousands of elites in Wala and never coming back?"
"There is also the matter of negotiating with Wala, which is something you can do? Why are you in a hurry? The worst is to fight him for a few months, we can afford it!"
"You have never thought that when Wala lifts the table in the future, the court will use your today's opinion to make an issue. What will you do then? Will the fourth child punish you?"
"It's all my fault that I and the fourth wife dote on you, you are so bold! If Hong'er hadn't cleaned up the mess for you, the Qinzheng Palace would have been filled with the papers for your impeachment!"
The old man learned the lesson, but he looked at Jia Cong with relief and pride.
This is the good grandson of his half-brother Dai Shan, which is about equal to Liu Ji's good grandson.
At only 11 years old, he was able to stand on his own, defeating the strong against the [-] Oirat army with the weak.Not to mention that Liangzhou was saved, he was able to judge the situation and sent a surprise army to raid the Wara Khan Court, and captured the Wara Khan King and other relatives.
In ancient times there was Huo Huoqi, but now there is Jia Xiaosan!
This kid is worthy of being a young talent cultivated by the Great Xia Emperor himself, he really gives me a lot of face!
The emperor who was sitting with him also had a similar expression, looking more and more relieved at the young man in front of him.
I, Emperor Liu Heng of the Great Xia, personally trained a young genius, it really gives me a lot of face!
