Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

"While Shengzong of Liao Dynasty and Empress Dowager Xiao stayed in Liyuan, the information of Song Dynasty began to be sent to the capital."

"Song Zhenzong and all civil and military officials panicked."

"And Liyuan is only a few hundred miles away from the capital of Song Dynasty."

"It's wishful thinking if such a dynasty is so greedy for pleasure and can still win battles."

"Countless ministers in the Song Dynasty were panic-stricken. Whether it was war or peace, the main alliance faction and the main war faction were arguing endlessly."

"Song Zhenzong is weak and incompetent, timid and fearful, and even more lordly."

"Under the strong encouragement of Prime Minister Kou Zhun, Song Zhenzong finally mustered up the courage and decided to march in person."

"It's not correct to say that the royal conquest was a personal conquest. It's mainly to boost the morale of the defenders and the people of Liyuan City."

"At that time, King Qin's troops from all walks of life had not arrived. Except for the Tokyo defenders, only Liyuan City had the largest army here. He could only rely on these defenders."

"Once this place is breached, the Khitan will directly reach the city of Bianliang."

"Seeing the emperor's arrival in person, the army and people of Liyuan City were boosted in morale, enthusiastic, and even more confident in their defense..."

"But Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao saw the general sacrificed, and before the army behind arrived, they already had the intention of asking for peace."

"But Song Zhenzong offered to ask for peace, which is exactly what he wanted."

"Song Zhenzong told his confidant minister Cao Li that as long as a peace can be negotiated, even if it is compensation of one million taels of silver and cession of land, it is fine."

"But Kou Zhun threatened Cao Li, determined not to cede the land. Once the compensation exceeds 30 taels, he will find an excuse to kill him."

"After more than a month of peace talks between the Daliao and Song Dynasties, it was finally decided that the yearly coins, 10 taels of silver, and 20 pieces of silk would be paid each year, and Daliao would withdraw its troops."

"This is the famous Liyuan Alliance in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"Both sides are happy."

"The Song Dynasty paid a total of about 30 taels worth of money every year, in exchange for the retreat of the Liao Kingdom, and there is no need to fight any more. Why not do it?"

"And Daliao has gradually become rich. Shengzong of Liao and Empress Dowager Xiao were overjoyed when they saw so much silver and fine cloth obtained by accident, and they were naturally satisfied."

"Actually, in the final analysis, the vision of the mother and daughter is still too narrow. Seeing this little money, they are very happy."

"Song Zhenzong set a bad example of compensation, which has continued since then until the demise of the Liao Kingdom."

"Shengzong Liao and Empress Dowager Xiao won a complete victory this time, and returned home proudly."

Zhou Yi scanned the audience and looked at the audience in front of the big screen. He suddenly said: "There are 4.5 discussions about this covenant in later generations. money, and the war between the two countries was avoided."

Zhou Yi clicked on the comment button on the screen.

I saw countless comments sent out.

"Song Zhenzong's decision is of course correct. The Liyuan League is only 10 taels of silver a year, and the silk is only 20. In the wealthy Northern Song Dynasty, these are not as good as nine cows_hair."

"And since then, with the opening of border trade, the Song Dynasty has earned three times the amount of these old coins from the Daliao Kingdom. Of course, the Song Dynasty has gained more."

"I also agree with the statement above."

"You can settle disputes without fighting, why not do it?"

"Once the war breaks out, the silver taels spent may be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the old coins!

240 Chapter Eight Should Song Dynasty Make Peace?

"Of course, once there is a war, countless people will be killed and injured, and many people will lose their wives and children. Now they can live in peace and don't need to exchange human lives for peace. This is really a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's hard to say whether you can win a war, it's better to be safe like this!"

"Northern Song Dynasty was rich, spending such insignificant amounts of gold and silver to drag down the Daliao Kingdom, this strategy is really wonderful!"

On the screen, countless comments scrolled rapidly.

Most of the comments are in favor of this way of signing a contract and spending money to buy peace.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly. He only felt that the audience in later generations had made very incorrect remarks, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

And he always felt as if he was suffocating in his heart and had nowhere to vent.

But Yingzheng, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors all had ugly faces.

They all intuitively feel that this method is very inappropriate, but they don't know how to refute it.

"It's not impossible to spend money to buy peace!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was cold.

"For example, the kinship policy in the early years of the Han Dynasty, and Tang Taizong's Weishui alliance."

"At the time when it was impossible to win, eliminate the enemy, or even subjugate the country, it was a wise political method to make an appropriate compromise."

"No one will criticize it. However, Mingming in the Northern Song Dynasty agreed to give the old coins when he won the victory. It is really unbelievable."

Zhao Kuangyin also nodded and said: "I also feel that this matter is wrong, but I haven't noticed the specific mistake yet."

Zhou Yi looked at the comments on the screen with a sneer on his face.

He shook his head and said sarcastically: "It seems that you have been completely brainwashed by the brainwashing materials on the Internet, and you have no ability to analyze yourself." "Most of you have read some books, and from the perspective of future generations , should have seen farther than people at that time.”

"But I have to say, some of you have read those books for nothing, and have become completely useless.

"Many big Vs and some so-called historical experts are all boasting about the Liyuan Alliance!"

"Praise the Northern Song Dynasty and Song Zhenzong for their proper handling, and only a little money was spent in exchange for a hundred years of peace

"Don't follow anyone blindly, blindly."

"You should have your own mind and judgment."

"You have more information than your predecessors, and you should be more rational and objective."

"The views that have been passed down from generation to generation in history are not necessarily completely correct."

Zhou Yi turned to look at the screen.

Finding a comment, he reaches for a little.

This comment suddenly magnified.

There are countless likes and building blocks below.

Looking at this comment, Zhou Yi sneered repeatedly.

"This comment almost represents the current mainstream thinking and the understanding of the general public."

"I really don't know if the majority of the audience really have the true thoughts in their hearts, or if they are being promoted by various media, and I have no ability to analyze." The comment probably meant that.

The Liyuan alliance is completely correct, and it was a great means of the Northern Song Dynasty and Song Zhenzong.

The Northern Song Dynasty paid a total of 10 taels of silver and 20 bolts of silk to Liao every year.It's really a drop in the bucket.

And these expenditures, through trade, not only fully earned back, but also a net profit of 80 taels of silver every year.

The Northern Song Dynasty took advantage of it.

And if a war is to be launched, at least ten times, or even twenty times the consumption of the 30-year-old coins will be consumed, but victory cannot be guaranteed.

The emperors looked at this comment and felt disgusted as if they had eaten maggots.

Zhou Yi couldn't help sneering, pointed at this comment and said, "It seems reasonable, but it's actually complete nonsense!"

"War to war, trade to trade!"

"If the Northern Song Dynasty defeated the Liao Kingdom, would the two countries still have trade?"

"Yes? Of course."

"Then, the trade was going on at that time, couldn't the Northern Song Dynasty earn high profits?"

"You know, although the Great Liao Kingdom is relatively developed, the various items of the Han people in the Central Plains are still rare items. Whether they are Khitans or Han people, they like them very much."

"This is why the Song Dynasty has been making a lot of money in trade."

"Of course, unconvinced netizens will definitely say that even if the Song Dynasty wins, it will definitely consume a lot of money. The profits earned from the trade between the two countries will not be able to make up for the losses caused by the war."

"It may take 100 or 200 years to make up for the financial losses caused by the war, as well as the lives of the people."

"It's simply not worth the candle."

"And after 200 years, will the Northern Song Dynasty still exist? No one dares to say, so it only costs 30 years old coins to exchange for peace, which is a profitable business."

Zhou Yi sneered all over his face.

"This is complete nonsense!"

"Indeed, if there is a war, it will be dozens of times the annual 30-year-old coin. Whether the Northern Song Dynasty can win is not certain, but it will definitely cause a large number of soldiers and civilians to die first."

"That is for sure."

"Everyone doesn't know if they ignored it on purpose, or they were really stupid, they couldn't think of that."

"If you only care about the cost of war and don't dare to fight, then such a country and dynasty should not exist, and it will perish as soon as possible."

"Not everything can be measured by money."

"War is the bloody spirit of a nation and a country, and the 490 confidence and toughness that represent a country!"

"Although the country is weak, it cannot be humiliated!"

"No matter how much money is spent, or even the treasury is empty, if there are wars, they must be fought!"

"This 30-year-old coin represents a kind of humiliation!"

"Even if it is [-], [-], he still expresses humiliation. This country is a weak bone!"

"In this kind of matter, we only care about the amount of money."

"It is related to the dignity of a country and a nation!"

"Now it's not a question of more money and less money!"

"Anyone who holds this fallacy is not a traitor, but a traitor!"

Liu Bang, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up and they kept nodding.

Just now they thought it was a fallacy, but they didn't know how to refute it.

At this time Zhou Yi spoke their minds.

Everyone was elated and let out a sigh of relief.

"Happy! Happy!"

"Mr. Zhou Yi said what was in my heart!"

"It is! It is!"

"The remarks just now are simply irrational!"

"But we can't refute it!"

"Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief for us! Haha!"

Several heroic emperors looked at each other with great satisfaction.

These emperors who are famous in history, the heroes see the same thing, we simply endure this kind of humiliation

240 Nine Chapters of the Incompetent Song Dynasty

The audience in front of the video couldn't help being a little confused, not knowing who was right.

"Many netizens once gave specific data, saying that in the trade exchanges between the two countries, the net profit obtained by the Northern Song Dynasty was about three times that of the 30-year-old coin."

"So this account is extremely cost-effective for the Northern Song Dynasty."

Zhou Yi did not hide the sarcasm on his face.

"Such remarks are simply absurd!"

"The old coin belongs to the old coin, and the trade belongs to the trade!"

"Because of the huge profits, it can cover up the humiliation of the old coin itself?"

"Can you still change the concept so secretly?"

"This kind of speech is exactly the same as traitors betraying the country for the sake of the enemy to hurt the people less!"

"Traitors never feel that they are traitors!"
