Song Xiance received Li Zicheng's order, and immediately took a boat south again. The north wind blew, and the boat went as if it was flying. A few days later, he successfully arrived in Nanjing City and was immediately received by Li Xiao.

Song Xiance immediately told Li Xiao that Li Zicheng has now agreed to cedify Hanzhong and central and southern Henan, and hoped that the two countries could reach an agreement as soon as possible.

After listening to Song Xiance's words, Li Xiao was very happy. If he ignored his face, he would just want to slap his harshly.

Humph, Li Zicheng must have had a big fuss with his subordinates, and in the end he had to agree with his own opinions.

After all, this guy needs more time to recover from his anger and recuperate. Under this premise, Li Zicheng pinched his nose and could only accept the conditions he put forward.

It is really a pleasant thing to get Hanzhong and central and southern Henan without any effort.

So Li Xiao sent an order to allow the Tang army to conduct peaceful negotiations with Dashun, and sent Chen Zilong as his plenipotentiary representative to negotiate with Song Xiance in Nanjing.

After two days of careful consideration and specific discussion, Tang Shun finally reached the following agreement, with the specific terms:

1. Dashun gave up Hanzhong and the southern part of central and central Henan and handed over to the Tang army to govern. The two countries were in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and since then they were bounded by the Qinling Mountains. They were bounded by the three boundaries of Henan, Nanyang Prefecture, Runing Prefecture, and Guide Prefecture, and were assigned to the Tang army. However, in the boundaries of Kaifeng Prefecture, Dengfeng, Xinzheng, Weishi and Qi County were bounded by the Tang army in the south and Dashun in the north.

2. After the two countries signed an agreement and handed over the territory, they stopped the troops and stopped the war, and set up several customs points to communicate with each other.

3. The minimum time for the two countries to reach this agreement is two years.

4. This agreement will be signed by the plenipotent representative of both parties and will be confirmed to take effect.

After the agreement was signed, Song Xiance returned to the capital with a happy expression, and he was impatient to report the news of the agreement to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng received the report, but although he did not speak or speak, his feelings were hard to express.

Such cension of land and peace is even worse than the alliance between the Song and Liao dynasties that day.

After all, the Song Dynasty did not cut the machine to get so much land, and did not only reach a two-year peace period with the Liao Kingdom, but continued a full hundred years of peace.

Li Zicheng thought almost intuitively that if the peace period ends, the Tang army would immediately turn against each other and attack.

What's even more sad is that if the Tang army rogues, if they don't wait for the agreement to end, they will break the agreement and attack Dashun, then they will have no choice but to fight and have no way to stop it.

Even so, this unstable agreement is also the only choice that Li Zicheng must take if he wants to change the status quo.

In two years, perhaps less than two years, if there is no improvement or change in the future, Li Zicheng can no longer imagine the terrible consequences in the future.

Finally, the Emperor Dashun sighed and stamped the dragon seal on the agreement, officially confirming it.

With the confirmation of the two supreme rulers of Tang Shun, the next handover was very smooth.

The officials of Dashun in Hanzhong and central and southern Henan and the remaining troops stationed in garrison were like despairing defeated roosters in front of the Tang army that came to receive. All the handovers were very smooth, and there was no friction at all.

The Tang army successfully took over Hanzhong and central and southern Henan. The Shun army deployed defenses on the north side of the Qinling Mountains according to the previous plan, and confronted the Tang army on both sides according to the junction of the two armies designated by Henan. It maintained a peaceful situation in a tacit understanding.

At this point, both Tang Shun achieved the peace they wanted.

In Dashun Country, Li Zicheng adopted the opinions of Niu Jinxing and others, and began to eliminate the elderly and weak in the army, reduce the financial burden, and at the same time vigorously train new recruits in preparation for future battles.

At the same time, he ordered that the country would expand wastelands to increase grain production and force adult men and women to marry to increase the population.

Li Zicheng also ordered that the Tang army should learn the Tang army's firearms construction model, and began to organize technicians in the middle school to conduct military research. The preparations should be made like the Tang army, vigorously researching firearms in terms of firearms, comprehensively improving the army's firearm combat capabilities, and strive not to fall behind the Tang army too much, and it is best to achieve a barely balance of firearm power with the Tang army.

On the Tang army, such as dispatching newly appointed court officials, resettling the people of Xinde area, restoring the local production and living order, and stepping up the reorganization and training of the newly-organized soldiers and horses in the two towns, all of which were carried out in an orderly manner.

In addition to these, Li Xiao decided to issue work to rebuild the land and return the entire southwest region according to the original plan.

The change of the land and return to the flow refers to the change of the chieftain system to the liberated official system, which began in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It refers to the abolition of the chieftain leaders who originally ruled ethnic minorities in the southwest and changed to the central government of the court to serve as liberated officials.

In short, changing the land to return to the flow means changing the management of ethnic minority chieftains into the management of government officials. The chieftains are the leaders of the original ethnic group, and the officials are appointed by the central government of the court. The transformation to the land to return to the flow is conducive to eliminating the backwardness of the chieftain system and at the same time strengthening the central government's rule over some ethnic minority areas in the southwest.

The transformation of the land into the current has gradually begun since the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It arises with the increasingly sharp contradiction between local officials and feudal dynasties. This contradiction has existed for a long time since the Tang and Song dynasties. With the continuous development of social productivity, the local official system has become increasingly unsuitable to social needs.

At the same time, local officials increasingly confronted the court and opposed the court's jurisdiction over it. This behavior that damaged national unity was naturally intolerable by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, "changing the land and returning to the current" was imperative.

The practice of the Ming Dynasty was actually relatively mild. For example, when local officials died out of succession, local officials revenge or rebellion were put down, local officials were dismissed for crimes and dismissed. The local chieftain system was abolished and replaced by transient officials.

Even so, because the actions of the Ming Dynasty were basically opposite to the interests of the chieftains, there were many rebellions in various places. Among them, the largest was the rebellion of the Wumeng chieftains, which of course was successfully suppressed by the court in the end.

Drawing on the relevant experience of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao decided that the work of land reform and relocation in the southwest region should be divided into three parts according to the specific situation of the chieftain, and treated and carried out separately.

Due to the vast territory of the southwest and the numerous chieftains, Li Xiao did not rush to make a one-size-fits-all rough push for all chieftains, but first divided the chieftains into three parts.

The first part is that the local chieftains who have small power and weak troops, but have good relations with the Tang army. They even joined the Tang army in the southwest of the Tang army, or assisted the Tang army in fighting. For this group, Li Xiao decided not to change the land and divert them for the time being, but to continue to maintain the same status. He hoped that in this way, these chieftains would continue to maintain friendly relations with themselves.

Li Xiao plans to carry out this part of the work of transforming the chieftains into land and returning to the land. Even after unifying the whole country, it is impossible to carry out again.

The second part is that the power is average, the troops are not many, and the relationship with the Tang army is also average. When the Tang army attacked the southwest, the local chieftains who adopted a neutral attitude were limited to one year and allowed them to gradually improve, so that they could finally agree to change the territory and return the land and let the court send officials to replace the chieftain system that has been implemented.

The third part is the local chieftain who is powerful and has many troops, but has a poor relationship with the Tang army. He once stood opposite the Tang army but was forced to surrender. Regarding these chieftains, Li Xiao decided to take action against them first and ask them to make rectifications immediately, and to return to the land and return to the current situation. He should not disobey, so as to achieve the effect of capturing the thief first.
