Chapter 78 Section 6 Longxing peace talks

In 1164 AD, when the Southern Song Dynasty failed in the Northern Expedition, it reached a peace agreement with the Jin State, which once again ended the war between Song and Jin.So, what are the contents of this agreement?For the Southern Song Dynasty, did the Longxing Peace Agreement have more advantages or disadvantages? There are three main contents of the Longxing peace agreement: first, the border between the two countries is in accordance with the Shaoxing peace agreement, and is still bounded by the Dasan Pass on the Huaishui River.The second article, the emperor of the Song Dynasty called the emperor of the Jin Kingdom his uncle, and he called himself his nephew, so he didn't have to be a minister.Article 3: The annual tribute is reduced, the silver is reduced from 250,000 taels to 200,000 taels, and the silk and satin is reduced from 250,000 to 200,000.Moreover, the original coin was called Sui Gong, and I will pay you tribute, but now the word "tribute" has been changed to "Na", so you don't lose your mouth when you lose.

After the peace agreement was reached, the two sides had to hand over the letter of credence to each other. The envoys of the Song Dynasty went to the Kingdom of Jin to hand over the letter of credence. The beginning of the letter of credence read: "Emperor Song sends a letter to Emperor Jin."The embassy envoy who was in charge of the reception in the Kingdom of Jin quit and threatened the envoy of Song Dynasty to remove the word "big" in Song Dynasty.How can you write like that?You have to write "Nephew Song", you are my nephew, where are you from?Your uncle is older, so are you?so rude!The envoys of the Song Dynasty resolutely refused to change, what can you do to me?I am Da Song!The escort of the Jin Guoguan had no choice.People in the Song Dynasty were unreasonable and wrote a great song, what should we do?He reported the cause and effect to Jin Shizong, and Jin Shizong said: "I also aim to calm the people, so I ordered a cessation of troops. From then on, everyone should follow the new agreement and stick to it. I will no longer be demanding." ("Song History Romance" No. Chapter 80) Okay, let’s call it the Great Song Dynasty. As long as the two countries are friendly and protect the environment and the people, I will not be too demanding, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty will not need me to canonize it. His throne was passed on to him by his father.The canonization ceremony and the book acceptance ceremony have all been changed, and the Song and Jin countries are at least equal in terms of national status.

When the people of the Kingdom of Jin took the initiative to make concessions when they were superior in force, they changed from a monarch to an uncle, and the annual coin was reduced by 100,000. It cannot but be said that Jin Shizong is wise, or that he is very talented.After the agreement was reached, the two sides maintained a peaceful situation for another 30 to 40 years, and Jin Shizong could concentrate on governing internal affairs.He was very successful in governing internal affairs, and he was called Xiao Yao and Shun of the Northern Kingdom.What achievements did Emperor Sejong have that can be honored as Yao and Shun by historians?
