…

Wanyan Wu Qimai wanted to negotiate peace, but faced several major problems:

The first major problem is how to convince those ministers, that is, the partners of those military nobles?

You know, this time I went south to rob, let’s not talk about the Khitan, Xi tribe, and Han'er soldiers. The 50,000 or 60,000 elite Jurchens were the forces of the military aristocratic partners, but in the end, less than 10,000 came back alive!

Those Jurchens who failed to come back were father and son brothers of those military aristocratic partners!

In other words, those military aristocratic partners have formed a blood feud with Li Yan!

The Jurchens were originally no different from the savages. At the earliest, the tribes inside often fought, and sometimes they started wars for a small grassland, a water source, and a piece of woodland.

When the war begins, there will be death. If you kill one of us, I will kill you two. The same is true for the other tribe. If you kill two of us, I will kill four of you, and endless revenge.

(This is also one of the main reasons why the Jurchens were not strong at that time.)

Later, the ancestor of the Jurchen, Wanyan Hanpu, stopped killing, and the Jurchens did not kill the Jurchens in vain. The entire clan went to take revenge. There is no need to say more. Even if the people inside the Jurchens killed the Jurchens, the other party had to pay 6 taels of gold, ten cows, twenty horses, and one son had to be hostage and laborer.

This time, the Jin people went south to rob, and they did not bring back any valuable things except Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the men of the Zhao family.

How could this calm the anger of those military aristocratic partners?

The key is that the central army also cut off the killed Jurchens and made them into Jingguan, and castrated the captured Jurchens to the distant Beihai County to dig gold mines.

In this way, the military aristocratic partners have a greater grudge against Dazhong, and it can even be said that they will never end up dead.

The second biggest problem is how to convince Dazhong, how to convince Li Yan, and agree to peace talks?

Nowadays, the central army has won consecutive victories, whether in Yan or Hedong.

In Hedong, the central army is almost attacking Daizhou and Ninghua troops, and it is already connected with the prefectures. It is about to restore the land of Hedong and approach Yundi.

In Yan, after Yizhou, Zhuozhou and Pingluanying, the central army recovered Jizhou and now formed an encirclement of Yanjing.

Even the Northeast Army in Dazhong has now set out to attack the Dading Prefecture of Zhongjing.

It can be said that the situation in the Central Army is really good.

In this case, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult for Dajin to convince Dazhong to sit down and discuss peace.

In addition, the Grand Central Emperor Li Yan had a bad impression of him, Wanyan Wuqimai. One of the conditions for peace talks that he once gave out was to let him abdicate.

This is also a big trouble.

However

Although there are many difficulties, Wanyan Wu Qimai still wants to negotiate peace with Dazhong.

Why?

First of all, the reason is that if he does not discuss peace, he will not be able to continue to be regarded as an emperor.

Secondly, for Dajin, the current situation is really bad. If peace is not discussed and stopped, it is impossible to say how bad it will deteriorate in the end. It is even impossible for Dajin to be destroyed one day.

Again, the current wind direction is no longer right. The Xixia, Tatars, and some other grassland tribes who had surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, have now begun to send envoys to the Dazhong. In addition, the eastern part is already Dazhong's territory, so if you don't do it well, the Dazhong will be on the verge of enemies, or even besieged on all sides.

Based on the above, Wanyan Wu Qimai called his eldest son Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Chang to come. The reason why Wanyan Wu Qimai called Wanyan Zongpan was because Wanyan Zongpan had followed the army south, had a good understanding of the situation in Dazhong, and also had some meanings to discuss peace. The reason why he was called Wanyan Chang was because Wanyan Chang was most enthusiastic about peace talks, and even proposed the political policy of "returning north to the north, returning to the middle to the middle, and returning to the south to the south", and widely publicized his political views.

After Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Chang met Wanyan Wuqimai, Wanyan Wuqimai said: "The current situation is somewhat unfavorable to me, Dajin. Tell me, how should I deal with it?"

Wanyan Chang said: "The only way to make peace is to make peace for the present."

Wanyan Zongpan listened to Wanyan Chang's words and said nothing.

Wanyan Wu Qimai asked Wanyan Chang: "How to negotiate peace?"

Wanyan Chang said: "Respect Taizu's intention back then, return Yan Yun to the Han people, and we northern people return to the north, and our two countries will not invade each other."

Wanyan Wu Qimai said: "Now the central army has occupied the three prefectures of Pingluan Camp. If my Dajin retreated from Yanyun again, he would never be able to go to the rich Central Plains."

This is the most fundamental reason why the Jin people have always adhered to Yanyun. Without Yanyun, they will not only be able to get involved in the rich Central Plains, but they will also lose the civilization of the Central Plains and slowly degenerate into the previous grassland tribe.

Moreover, if that is true, the situation of the Jin Kingdom would be even worse than that of the Liao Kingdom back then. The Liao Kingdom occupied Yan territory and Pingzhou, which was closely linked to the Central Plains, and even had a large number of Han people in the country, which ensured the prosperity of the Liao Kingdom.

This principle is not difficult to imagine, so Wanyan Chang also understands it.

Wanyan Chang said: "But now it is no longer the matter that our Dajin will not give up Yan Yun, but Dazhong is determined to win Yan Yun. Dazhong is now in Liaodong, Hedong, Yandi, and Yandi. The four of the five tiger generals in the hands of the Zhongzhu are in Liaodong, Hedong, and Yandi. It can be seen that the Zhongzhu's ambition to Yan Yun. Therefore, if we are reluctant to give up Yan Yun, Dazhong will never give up. The two countries will definitely fight to the point of death."

The facts are indeed as Wanyan Chang analyzed.

In order to get Yan Yun, Li Yan was preparing to temporarily negotiate peace with the Southern Song and Western Xia, and even led the imperial commander in person if necessary.

It can be said that in order to recover Yan Yun, Li Yan was almost useless measures.

In this case, if the Jin Kingdom still held on to Yan Yun, there would be no basis for peace talks.

Seeing that Wanyan Wu Qimai didn't speak, Wanyan Chang said again: "I missed me, Jurchens, was just a small tribe in the northeast. After gaining the land of the Great Liao, I should have been content. As a result, the people were not satisfied with the people's hearts and swallowing elephants, and it was only today that I fell into the situation. When Taizu was alive, he never thought of invading the south and returning Yan Yun to the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, my descendants did not have such foresight, and they fell into the passive situation today. If we do not correct it in time, I am afraid that my Great Jin Dynasty will not even be able to protect the land of the Liao Dynasty, and it will even harm our descendants."

Wanyan Chang said this very seriously, and even slapped Wanyan Wuqimai in the face in person. You know, it was Nan's invasion that Wanyan Wuqimai agreed to.

However

Wanyan Wu Qimai did not blame Wanyan Chang, at least he did not blame Wanyan Chang on the surface, and said, "How can I convince the ministers to agree to peace with Dazhong?"

Wanyan Chang smiled and said, "This is easy."

Wanyan Wu Qimai said, "Oh? How easy is it?"

Wanyan Chang said: "Whoever wants to fight will let Yanyun fight."

After hearing this, Wanyan Wu Qimai's eyes lit up and thought to himself: "This method is good. Don't you disagree with or want to fight? Then you can take your people to Yanyun to resist the central army."

but

Wanyan Wu Qimai quickly said calmly: "What if they win?"

yes.

What should those military aristocratic partners win the central army and save Yan Yun? By then, the position of the Great Golden Emperor purchased by Wanyan Wuqi will not be able to be appointed.

Before Wanyan Chang could speak, Wanyan Zongpan said, "They can't win."

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Zongpan and asked, "Are you sure?"

Wanyan Zongpan said with certainty: "They will definitely not win."

Wanyan Zongpan is the eldest son of Wanyan Wu Qimai. Whether Wanyan Wu Qimai can become this emperor can be said to have the greatest relationship with Wanyan Zongpan.

Let me put it this way, if the Dajin did not implement the erectile system, then Wanyan Zongpan was the prince of the Dajin.

(In history, Wanyan Xie, who should have inherited the throne of Wanyan Wuqi, died in front of Wanyan Wuqimai. At that time, Wanyan Wuqimai wanted Wanyan Zongpan to inherit his throne. Unfortunately, Wanyan Wuqimai was unable to fight against the noble partner of the Jin Kingdom in the end. Therefore, Wanyan Zongpan not only failed to become the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but was later liquidated.)

Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai believed in Wanyan Zongpan's judgment very much.

Since there is a way to solve internal problems, the most important thing now is how to convince Dazhong to agree to peace talks.

So, Wanyan Wu Qimai asked, "What price do we need to pay so that the master can agree to the peace agreement?"
