Chapter 566 Final Treaty
The North Korean side could not tolerate the surrender of the North Korean troops in the city to the Pingzhou Army, but Shang Ji also could not accept that they would return to North Korea with such swagger.
As the leader of an army, Shang Ji also needs to be responsible to his soldiers!
Zhang He led an army of nearly 2 million people and nailed the imperial army in the city there. Shang Ji ordered them to be released. What would Zhang He and the 2 million soldiers think?
Will the soldiers be disappointed? Will morale plummet? Seriously, will he be dissatisfied with Shang Ji?
The first condition is stuck between the two parties, and no progress has been seen for a long time.
After a long period of arguing, both sides finally took a step back, and the entire city must be handed over to the Pingzhou Army.
In addition, all the horses, vehicles, crossbows and large equipment of the Chinese and Korean troops in the city were handed over to the Pingzhou Army. The North Korean army selects 500,000 troops out of the city to surrender to the Pingzhou Army. The remaining troops can leave the city with basic equipment such as knives, guns, armor, and seven-day rations, and retreat to North Korea.
After the Pingzhou Army took over the city, the Pingzhou Army began to return 500,000 North Korean prisoners in batches. All the troops belonging to the original Goguryeo surrendered to the Pingzhou Army, and the North Korean army was responsible for supervising the implementation of the agreement and ensuring that the city would not be destroyed by the Goguryeo Army.
The second one is simple, Jin Wucheng just struggled symbolically, and then sold Gao Yanyou.
The focus of the third article is mainly on the establishment of a demilitarized zone in the North Korean area, which the North Korean side firmly rejects. Even the fact that Pyongju inherited the Goguryeo lands east of the Dragon Throat Gorge has much to criticize in North Korea.
Before the Goguryeo War began, North Korea continued to expand westward. The land east of the Dragon Throat Canyon is still Goguryeo in theory, but many of them have been actually controlled by North Korea.
North Korea is already extremely unwilling to spit out the meat that has been eaten, not to mention the establishment of a demilitarized zone that directly digs meat from itself!
However, Xi Zhicai's attitude was very tough, assuming that if you don't agree, then we will continue to fight, Jin Wucheng gritted his teeth and agreed to hand over all the Goguryeo land to Pingzhou. But the matter in the demilitarized zone is life and death not agreed!
When Xi Zhicai saw that the North Korean side was extremely firm, he would also know that this was basically useless, so he settled for the next best thing, and demanded that the military strength of the North Korean army in the border area between the two countries should not exceed one million, and that large-scale military deployments must first go to Pingzhou. The military side announced to avoid misunderstanding.
After hesitating for a long time, Jin Wucheng finally agreed to this point. Although this request was overbearing, the North Korean army could breach the contract at any time, and for a long time after that, the North Korean army did not dare to bark their teeth at Pingzhou, so they gritted their teeth and endured this humiliating condition.
The right of free navigation of the navy is directly skipped. The North Korean side cannot agree to this request, but the navy in Pingzhou will not stop appearing in the North Korean waters because the North Korean army has no authorization. The naval warships that block the sky and the sun are the best authorization. paperwork!
As for the fifth point, the Yiren Rangers are indeed not under the jurisdiction of the Pingzhou Army, but for the peace and stability of the two countries, the Pingzhou Army will issue a circular to the majority of Rangers, suggesting that they withdraw from North Korea after the formal peace talks between the two armies.
After the peace talks are over, the North Korean army must not deliberately make things difficult for foreigners in North China's Huaxia District, and must not block their way back to the country, let alone plunder their property.
This did not lie to the North Korean side. Shang Ji intends to cancel all tasks related to the North Korean area immediately after the peace talks are confirmed. Paying mission rewards for these more than 200,000 aliens cost an astronomical figure every day, and even businessmen with deep pockets couldn't bear it.
And without the Pingzhou Army to contain the North Korean army, the North Korean army, as stragglers and rogue soldiers, was unable to resist the North Korean army after they freed up their hands.
As for the so-called "jurisdiction outside the law", Xi Zhicai didn't mention it at all. It is impossible to effectively implement such regulations in the war. At the beginning, it was just that the lion opened his mouth to disgust Park Yin!
Although there are minor differences in the above five conditions, they were finally reached through mutual compromise.
But the last two conditions can't be negotiated.
Whether it is a public statement of apology or a military compensation of one billion gold, this is not acceptable to North Korea.
The Pingzhou side didn't care about Park Yin's apology statement. What they were really jealous of was the huge amount of compensation. The purpose of clinging to the apology statement is to gain more benefits in compensation.
"Mr. Xi, North Korea's land is small and the population is small, and one year's income is not enough to support the people for disaster relief. There is really no extra money to compensate you!"
As Park Yin's special envoy, Jin Wucheng naturally had a brain, and he knew very clearly what the Pingzhou army really cared about, so he skipped the apology statement and discussed the matter of compensation.
"Small country with few people? How do I remember that Mr. Jin once said that your country has a full 50 million army? How much money does it take to maintain such a large army in a year? A little abolition of half can save hundreds of millions of gold. Gold is enough!"
Xi Zhicai took a sip of the tea, and said calmly.
When Jin Wucheng heard Xi Zhicai's words, he almost couldn't catch his breath and died of anger!
Tens of millions of troops? That's just the bragging during the previous negotiations. North Korea's total military strength is just over 10 million. If there are tens of millions of troops, will you still negotiate with you like this? I have already swung my troops to Pingzhou!
As for the abolition of half of the army, it is a fantasy. If the North Korean army dares to abolish half of the army today, South Korea will dare to fight tomorrow! Do you think Pu Yin doesn't want to set aside room for manpower and material development? He dreams of it! But the situation doesn't allow it!
As Park Eun's confidant, Kim Moo Sung can best understand Park Eun's bitterness and helplessness. If it was not forced by the situation, how could Park Eun take such a big risk to expand to the west?
Forcing a smile, Jin Wucheng said: "Sir, you are joking. There are bandits and troubles one after another. How can you protect the people without enough troops? Please, sir, have mercy on the hundreds of millions of people in North Korea and avoid this compensation! I, North Korea, must change my mind and keep my law and order. Only Pingzhou Mu is from!"
"Hmph, since you don't want to give it, then I can only take it myself! General Ling Cao's navy has gained a lot these days, and it must last for three to five years, and it will almost collect one billion gold!"
Xi Zhicai ignored Jin Wucheng's begging and said coldly.
Jin Wucheng's breath stopped suddenly, and he froze there.
The navy, the Pingzhou navy, this is the biggest pain in North Korea's heart. Facts have proved that if they fight in the plains, the North Korean army and the Pingzhou army can fight back and forth.
This kind of combat power even surpassed most of the princes in the pass. In terms of army combat power, the Pingzhou Army has little advantage! If it wasn't for a coincidence that the seven-star Big Dipper array had been set up in Longmao Canyon, Shang Ji's 400,000 Pingzhou Army might not be able to stop the North Korean army from attacking wave after wave.
The most important reason why North Korea has fallen into such a miserable state is the harassment of the Pingzhou Navy. Facing the highly mobile Pingzhou navy that comes and goes without a trace, the North Korean army is really helpless!
It is a bit exaggerated to let the Pingzhou navy wreak havoc and destroy the country, but it is a foreseeable fact that the overall national strength has dropped significantly.
"One billion...one billion is really too much, I really can't take it out!"
Jin Wucheng's lips trembled, his face was pale and he whispered.
"My general is merciful, merciful to your small country and few people, and will give you a way of life. Tell yourself, how much money can you get?"
"Five...five..."
"500 million?" Xi Zhicai asked in disbelief, startled.
"Five thousand... fifty million..."
"boom!"
With a crisp sound, don't slam the teacup on the ground: "Is this your sincerity? Let's keep fighting!"
"Sir! Sir, don't! Sir, 100 million! 100 million! We can compensate 100 million gold!" Jin Wucheng quickly pulled Xi Zhicai's sleeve, pleading.
"Not enough, at least 300 million gold! The casualties of our army and the materials consumed are more than 300 million. My general sympathizes with you. 300 million gold is the minimum limit, otherwise we will continue to fight!"
Jin Wucheng knew that Xi Zhi was talking nonsense, but he had no way to expose his inferior lies. The character Daozu is my fish and meat, even if you come up with a list of the specific expenses of the Pingzhou Army during the war, it is useless!
His lips moved, and Jin Wucheng's face was full of bitterness: "Please tell me, sir, our army really can't afford that much money!"
One billion gold is 100% impossible for North Korea to come up with, but 300 million gold is still no problem. But after doing this, North Korea will be hollowed out immediately. What will Park Yin use to deal with the next possible crisis?
Therefore, 300 million gold is also an unacceptable figure for North Korea! However, Xi Zhicai had expected this point a long time ago. With a slight smile, Xi Zhicai said: "I am not a hard-hearted person, and I have a little understanding of your army's situation. How about this, I will make the decision for my general and pay your compensation The gold will reach 150 million! And you only need to take out 100 million in compensation for the time being, and you are allowed to pay the rest in batches within half a year!"
Jin Wucheng's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had reacquainted with Xi Zhicai, he was stunned for two seconds before excitedly saying: "Mr. Hong En, I will never forget North Korea!"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I still have something to say!"
"Sir, please speak!"
"The reduction of the compensation of 300 million gold to 150 million is my own decision. The general will be furious when he finds out. However, the general likes the population the most. If a large number of people can spontaneously migrate to Pingzhou, the general will be happy." Do not pursue this matter any longer!"
Uh, I went around and around, and finally returned to the enduring topic of population in Pingzhou.
Although North Korea is small, it has a large population.
In reality, the area of the Korean Peninsula is comparable to that of Shaanxi and Guangxi, but the population is almost twice that of Shaanxi, and 30 million more than that of Guangxi. The population is very dense!
The historical population of Lee's North Korea was about 7 million (data from the early 17th century). According to the comprehensive evolution of various data, the total population of the Korean peninsula in the beacon fire is about 1.2 billion!
The population of Pu Yin's controlled area should be around 500 million, which is more than three times that of Pingzhou. Considering the area much larger than the Korean Peninsula, the population density of Pingzhou is only about one-fifteenth of that of the Korean Peninsula! This is still without counting Goguryeo, otherwise the data gap will have to widen!
The abundance of human resources on the Korean peninsula made Shang Ji's mouth water. If it weren't for the lack of strength, he really wanted to swallow the Korean peninsula!
Although there is no way to win it all at once, it is still no problem to fight the autumn wind.
"May I ask, sir, how much population can be transferred to Pingzhou to appease the anger of Zhou Mu? Let the two sides restore peace?" Jin Wucheng asked cautiously.
"Five million households, that is, a population of 25 million. If you can have 500,000 more households, I call the shots to cancel the sixth treaty!"
"Surely the general won't mind the relocation of the population of South Korea to your territory, right?"
"Of course, as long as the population is healthy, it doesn't matter whether it's north or south." Xi Zhicai knew that North Korea was planning to pass the loss on to South Korea.
Xi Zhicai even fanned the flames: "As long as you send one more household (five people), I will give you a 20 gold compensation reduction. If you can get 7.5 million households, then the compensation will be enough. It’s all free! The part that exceeds the compensation will be purchased at the price of ten gold per household. The more you give, the more you will earn, and maybe we will give you money at that time!”
