Chapter 38 Section 2 Xijing Question

On the issue of Ying and Pingzhou, the Jin people felt that the ally of the Northern Song Dynasty was not only dishonest, but also aggressive and greedy, so the relationship between the Jin State and the Northern Song Dynasty further deteriorated.At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty did not accept it as soon as it was good. After reluctantly taking back Nanjing and changing Nanjing Xijin Mansion to Yanjing Mansion, it immediately asked the Kingdom of Jin to return Xijing.So Jin Guo, who was already very angry with the Northern Song Dynasty, would agree to the request of the Northern Song Dynasty?

The anger of the Minister of the Kingdom of Jin has reached its apex. You can’t finish it. We are unwilling to give you the states of Nanjing (that is, Yanjing). You still want Xijing?That was the result of our big gold warriors who shed their blood with one sword and one gun, and we are determined not to give it.A Guda said, Zhao Huang Dadu, I asked him for a million guan, but he didn't bargain with me, so I will give the one million guan, and Xijing should return it to them.In Aguda's eyes, this is not Dajin's place, so it's okay to give it to him, but it can't be given for no reason, Song has to give me money.How much?Three million, and silver, not copper coins.In addition, the military rations of 200,000 hu and white rice should be lent.The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin strictly followed the policy set by A Guda to return the land and ask for food and money to negotiate with the Northern Song Dynasty. Take the money, give the rice, and Xijing will return it to you.The Northern Song Dynasty immediately mobilized. The Northern Song Dynasty had money, and the silver was collected very quickly. Of course, the rice could not be collected for a while, so the silver was sent to Jin first.Jin Guo received the silver and began to deliver the silver to Xijing, but the action was very slow, dilly-dallying, and deliberately refused to return it to the Northern Song Dynasty.Before the return of Xijing and Kyushu was completed, the only Taizu Wanyan Aguda in the court of the Kingdom of Jin who advocated friendship with the Song Dynasty died, and the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty took a major turning point.

After Wanyan Aguda's death, according to the tradition of Jurchen noble brothers and sisters, Wanyan Wu, the younger brother of Wanyan Aguda, succeeded to the throne. This is the second emperor in the history of Jin Kingdom, Jin Taizong.In 1123 A.D., Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne. Naturally, he did not want to recognize the conditions promised by Jin Taizu. Moreover, Jin Taizu also said that he would not betray the alliance when he was alive, and he would not prohibit future generations from betraying the alliance after death.In this way, Jin Guo did not want to return the Xijing states to the Northern Song Dynasty.
