Chapter 37 Chapter VII Jin Song Defeated Alliance

Although Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda agreed to return the Nanjing area to the Northern Song Dynasty, but because the generals of the Jin State were very dissatisfied with the Northern Song Dynasty's two betrayals of the alliance, when the Northern Song Dynasty sent envoys to take over the Nanjing area, the Jin State General Wanyan Zonghan took the opportunity to propose An extremely harsh condition.So, can the Northern Song Dynasty successfully take back Nanjing this time? At that time, Zong Han, the general of the Kingdom of Jin, told the Song Dynasty that Nanjing was bought by the blood of our soldiers and sacrificed with a knife and a gun (in fact, the Jin army did not shed much blood, and surrendered as soon as it launched an attack on the Liao army). Why do you talk about it? As soon as the skin touches the mouth, I'll give it back to you?I can give it to you, you have to redeem it, give me one million tax money, and I will return Nanjing to you.I can give you the territory of Nanjing, but you have to give me the taxes, not only the taxes, but also the people here. I will give you an empty city, and the people can be slaves when they return to the north.At that time, Zhao Liangsi, an envoy of the Song Dynasty, argued with the people of the Jin Kingdom, saying that since ancient times, taxes have followed the land, and only the land can be taxed for this land. How can it be said that I occupy this land and the tax is paid to you? thing.Zong Han said, the annual tax in Nanjing is 6 million, and I only want 1 million.You have fought the Liao Kingdom for so many years, but you can't beat them, so you give them old coins.You can't beat Liao, can you beat me Dajin?Do you think this is more than one million?I don't want this money anymore, our two armies are on each other's side, let's talk about it after a war.If our Dajin loses, we don’t need a penny, you take this land and give it away for nothing.If our Dajin wins... When Zhao Liangsi heard it, what are you doing, fighting?What's the point? If your big gold loses, if you don't have this kind of if, you won't fight if you don't fight. If you can afford one million, you will never fight.Isn't it just one million, no problem, here it is, just please stop yelling and killing.

The Song Dynasty asked Jin to return the nine prefectures in Nanjing, but Jin only agreed to give seven, so what happened when he was short of two?The two poor states are Pingzhou and Yingzhou. In the area of ​​Hebei and Liaoning today, Pingzhou and Yingzhou are not in the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures.Not only were the rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty ignorant of state affairs, they were not good at geography, and of course they were not good at history. Ying and Ping prefectures were not given to Khitan by Shi Jingtang, but were given to Khitan by Liu Rengui, the governor of Youzhou during the Five Dynasties.After the Khitan obtained the Sixteen States of Youyun, they established the Nanjing Road. The local administrative divisions of the Liao Kingdom were roads, states, and counties, just like the Northern Song Dynasty, which consisted of roads, states, and counties.Yingzhou and Pingzhou established a separate road, which is under the jurisdiction of Xijing Road and not under the jurisdiction of Nanjing Road.The Northern Song Dynasty did not know the changes in the territory of the Liao Kingdom and what happened to the internal administrative divisions of the Liao Kingdom, so when they talked with the people of the Jin Kingdom, they asked for the return of Ying and Pingzhou.In the past few years, the people of the Jin Kingdom have been supplementing their knowledge of geography while fighting wars. With the continuous victories in the war against the Liao Dynasty, the iron hooves of the Jin army have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Liao Dynasty, and their mastery of the geography of the Liao Kingdom has far surpassed that of the Northern Song Dynasty.Upon hearing Northern Song’s request, the Jin people immediately corrected the Northern Song Dynasty’s geographical academic error. Ying and Pinger prefectures are not in Youyun sixteen prefectures. Why do you want me?Giving you Nanjing would be superfluous, but you want this now, and you are determined not to give it.The two parties were very unhappy because of this geographical academic dispute.
