Cessing five roads would be equivalent to directly ceding nearly one-third of the Southern Song Dynasty's land.
It is still the most critical intermediate area. Even if you want to communicate with Sichuan and Sichuan in the future, you will either have to take the Guangnan road to bypass it, or you can only ask the Ming Dynasty to lend you the road to avoid the pain of long distances.
The country was cut into two pieces by the Ming Dynasty, so what kind of country was it?
Hand over the war criminals headed by Yu Yunwen and their families...
This is asking me to hand over the loyal ministers and their families who dared to resist the invasion of the Republic of China. Doesn't this mean telling all Song officials and generals that as long as they dare to resist the Ming Dynasty, the end will be very tragic? If we do this, won't it mean that it is illegal to resist the Ming Dynasty in the future?
Will anyone still fight for me to resist the Ming invasion?
Although there are relatively few now and we are still losing battles, at least there are still people who are willing to resist the Ming Dynasty for me.
If this condition was agreed to, the Southern Song Dynasty would have abandoned its martial arts and surrendered directly.
There is also the fourth article, remove the title of the country, remove the title of the emperor, and become a vassal state on the same level as Goryeo...
You might as well just change my name from Zhao Yu to Zhao Yu.
Could this sinister intention be any more obvious?
Zhao Yan's anger finally broke through the threshold and burst out like a volcano erupting.
"I won't agree! I won't agree to a single condition! Fight! Fight to the end! Fight to the end of the country! I don't believe what he can do to me if I don't agree to this condition! Fight to the end!!"
Shen Gai's face turned pale.
He looked at Zhao Xin, who was full of anger, and knew that it was impossible for Zhao Xin to compromise.
beat?
Can you beat it?
The conditions are expected to be even more stringent by then.
And if they find out that this battle can be won, then...
Will they directly destroy the Southern Song Dynasty on a whim and treat them as prisoners?
But Shen Gai couldn't stop Zhao Min.
On the one hand, Zhao Hao asked Shen Gai to completely block all attempts by Zhao Hao and Yu Yunwen to destroy the Yellow River embankment of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, he also announced the five major demands of the Ming Dynasty to let the world see the ugly face of the Ming Dynasty.
After the Ming Dynasty's five major demands for an armistice were announced, it indeed caused a controversy in public opinion. Many people believed that the Ming Dynasty's actions were too unreasonable and overbearing, and that they were aimed at destroying the Song Dynasty.
Many officials also stated that they did not support the Ming Dynasty's conditions, but except for a very small number of die-hard elements, most people's view after being dissatisfied was to renegotiate and seek more favorable conditions, rather than continue the war.
The war cannot be won.
This matter has become the basic consensus of the Southern Song Dynasty court. This battle is really unwinnable, so we can only use negotiation skills to strive for better conditions and achieve the victory of weak country diplomacy.
For example, can we not change the name of Jiangnan Kingdom and Jiangnan Kingdom, even if we maintain the title of King of Song Dynasty?
This feeling is not something that cannot be discussed.
Shen Gai and Zhou Linzhi mainly held this view. They believed that they could talk like this and try to fight for it, but they should never refuse forcefully to avoid angering the Ming Dynasty.
And what Shen should have said was quite heartbreaking.
"The Ming Dynasty asked to cede territory because they could capture it with troops and horses, but the Song Dynasty could not recover it. In this case, even if the Song Dynasty was unwilling to admit it, so what? It was just self-deception. Instead of angering the Ming Dynasty, it was better to do it simply Agree to this condition and use it as a basis to strive for other conditions to weaken Ming's position."
In this meeting that Zhao Min did not attend, Shen Gai spoke in a more serious tone.
Zhou Linzhi's view was similar to his. He felt that he should accept it, but he needed to make some efforts on certain conditions to avoid starting another war with the Ming Dynasty and angering the Ming Dynasty.
Apart from them, only Yang Wanli belonged to the resolute war faction and should fight to the death with the Ming army to gain benefits. Even Yu Yunwen did not recommend directly rejecting the Ming's conditions so as to anger the Ming and make them move south on a large scale.
To take a step back, the Song Dynasty needs time.
"The Ming Dynasty went south one day later, and the Song Dynasty was more likely to win. Even if it took one more day, the Song Dynasty's military equipment could be improved. I think we should not anger the Ming Dynasty, but should focus on the Ming Dynasty. Negotiations with other countries, even if they are fake negotiations.”
Many people supported Yu Yunwen's view, but Yang Wanli insisted on refusing and met the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield.
"What can't be obtained on the battlefield, can we get it at the negotiation table? The Ming Dynasty has made it clear that it looks down on the Song Dynasty. Even the prime minister of the Song Dynasty will kill him at any time. In such a rude country, is there any need to negotiate? ? I would rather die in battle than negotiate with them!"
Yang Wanli was obviously angered by Ming Guo's killing of Ye Yiwen, and expressed his determination not to compromise with Ming Guo and demanded a fight to the end.
Finally, those who held the three views summarized their views and wrote them in a memorial form and gave it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Min was very angry and unwilling to compromise at all, so he issued an order to reprimand the moderate and capitulating faction, and only praised the radical Yang Wanli. He then ordered the court to reject the Ming Dynasty's request for peace talks and decided to Do not compromise and prepare for war resolutely.
Yu Yunwen, the state affairs envoy of the Pingzhang Army, the privy envoy and the city defense envoy, was fully responsible for the subsequent war, and Yang Wanli, the deputy city defense envoy, assisted him.
The entire court must focus on the decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty as the next focus, and it is absolutely not allowed to talk about other things, otherwise, severe punishment will be imposed.
The knowledgeable people in the DPRK, including Yu Yunwen, felt very helpless about this, but soon, Zhao Hao met with Yu Yunwen and showed Yu Yunwen the actual content of the Ming Dynasty's request to severely punish war criminals, letting Yu Yunwen know that he actually He is a named war criminal.
Yu Yunwen was shocked.
"Ming Guo really knows the cause and effect?"
"That's it. Therefore, I can never agree. If I agree, what will happen to your life? Even if it is for yourself, you must be careful and try your best to maintain the situation. You must not be negligent. You know my conscience. Have you worked hard?"
Only then did Yu Yunwen understand why Zhao Xun refused to agree to this condition even if he died, and further understood that he and Zhao Xun were already grasshoppers in the same boat, and neither one could live without the other.
This battle must be fought, not only for himself, but also for his family.
Obviously, Yu Yunwen did not intend to hand himself over to the Ming Dynasty as fish meat and let it be slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty.
He finally became a chess player, so how could he endure the feeling of becoming a chess piece again?
At the same time, Yu Yunwen also knew that Zhao Min could tell him this matter, which was obviously telling him to sit tight and not have other ideas, so as not to become everyone's victim without realizing it.
Yu Yunwen then knew that he had no room for maneuver. He was an important condition for the two parties to negotiate a peace. Once the two sides reached an agreement, he would be the victim of all those who hoped to negotiate a peace.
He felt like Yue Fei back then.
If Yue Fei is not killed, the Jin people will not negotiate peace, and if Yu Yunwen is not handed over, the Ming Dynasty will not negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty.
There were only two ways before him. The first was to defeat the Ming army and survive, and the second was to be handed over to the Ming Dynasty and become a tragic victim. .
He wants to survive, continue to serve as Pingzhang's military state affairs, continue to hold military and political power, and turn the tide from collapse.
So he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Lin'an defense battle. He planned hard, listened to the opinions of all parties, and gradually sorted out a complete set of tactics.
Strengthen the walls and clear the country, retreat, shrink the defense line, give up the impossible victory, and focus on strengthening the defense of Lin'an City.
Lin'an City was used as the location for the decisive battle, and some small mobile units were retained. At that time, a large-scale attack would harass the Ming army's logistics routes, making the Ming army's logistics difficult and unable to maintain its forward occupation.
Finally achieved the goal of repelling the Ming army.
He will never compromise or retreat, and there is no possibility of such a choice.
