After the peace talks began, Xin Qiji placed a new peace agreement that combined the original five requirements before Chen Ji and others.

Chen and others obviously made some psychological construction about what was about to happen and had no opinion on many conditions. It was okay at first, but when they saw Ming Dynasty demanding to cede Quanzhou and Guangzhou, Zhou Linzhi couldn't help it.

"Quanzhou, Guangzhou is the place where my important maritime department is located. If Quanzhou and Guangzhou are lost, wouldn't the Song Dynasty be trapped until death? Isn't it too much for Shangguo?"

"Can you still try to destroy the Yellow River embankment too much?"

Xin Qiji spread his hands: "This is what Your Majesty emphasizes and cannot be changed. If the Southern Dynasty wants to truly reach an agreement, it must agree, and agree without any fault... Then again, it has reached this point. What else should I worry about in the Southern Dynasty?

Mr. Chen, you should understand that there is no room for bargaining in the Southern Dynasties, not to mention that there are so many royal families in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and there is an emperor in Wenzhou... Of course, the one in Wenzhou was named by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so you don’t need to worry.”

Zhou Linzhi's face stagnated.

Zhang Xiao had no expression on his face.

Lu Yongyan observes his eyes and nose and heart.

The Southern Song bureaucrats who were originally a little angry also looked embarrassed.

Obviously, this is a problem that they cannot avoid. As a bureaucratic group that has actually betrayed the Southern Song Dynasty, any royal family except Zhao Dun who is still engaged in activities in the Southern Song Dynasty is very dangerous.

Their rule was not stable, but was full of crises and at any time there were dangers of being subverted.

In fact, before Xin Qiji arrived, Chen Ji held several meetings.

These meetings discussed the problems of a large number of royal family members in Quanzhou and other places, as well as the problems of Zhao Gou who was in Wenzhou, how to solve them, how to prevent them from establishing a central government to confront Lin'an, how to face the subsequent Ming Dynasty's questioning, etc.

The most prominent problem at the moment is that the Ming army annihilated a large number of troops from the Southern Song government, so that the Lin'an court can currently control only more than 60,000 troops. The huge territory and 60,000 troops do not match it no matter how you look at it.

This is a very serious problem.

A central government has lost all its credibility and cannot effectively govern local governments.

After the two Ming and Song wars, the credibility and deterrence of the Southern Song government dropped to freezing point. They had lost their huge military strength, and without military strength, they could not effectively control the country, let alone the political and legal status of Zhao Dun, the king of the country, had not been recognized by everyone.

So after the Ming army retreated, will there be a wave of large-scale resistance within them?

Will some people support some of the Zhao Song royal family members to resist the Lin'an Central Committee and then openly fight against the Lin'an Central Committee?

By then, will the Lin'an Central Committee have the ability to suppress them?

It is highly likely that it cannot be. It is difficult to protect the existing troops themselves. It takes a lot of time and energy to rebuild the army, and there is also a huge amount of money. Even if they can put in time and energy, they will never be able to get this money.

If the deterrent army cannot be rebuilt, the Jiangnan land will face a situation where a king is everywhere, which they are unwilling to face.

Now the Ming Dynasty is willing to help them deal with the Zhao Song royal family. This is a scene they are very willing to see. At least the biggest problem is gone, and no one can raise the banner and become a tiger skin.

But despite this, they cannot guarantee that there are no ambitious people in the local area. Once the local area is out of control, all they can control is that some areas around Lin'an will not leave Lin'an.

The interests of power and interests have greatly shrunk and the enjoyment of luxury is gone. How can this shrinking power and status satisfy them?

Impossible.

So, they had to think about such things.

So, with Chen Gai as the leader, the coup bureaucrats could only choose to agree to these seemingly excessive and actually very excessive demands, accept all the demands of the Ming State, in order to determine the smooth progress of this peace agreement and preserve the last vitality.

"The Song Dynasty can accept all these agreements, but the Song Dynasty also has a request, hoping that the country can agree to it."

Gu Wei

Chen Gai took a deep breath and spoke slowly and resolutely to Xin Qiji: "Can the Ming Dynasty leave an army to garrison near Lin'an?"

Once this statement is made, don’t explain the other people in the national negotiation team. Even Xin Qiji and Zhang Yuejing feel a little surprised.

"Ah? This..."

Xin Qiji and Zhang Yuejing looked at each other, obviously not expecting Chen Ge to make this request.

Chen Gai nodded firmly.

"This is not a temporary intention, but a conclusion we have drawn after discussion. We really hope that the Ming Dynasty can retain an army in Lin'an to shock the villains."

This idea is really not the temporary intention of Chen Pei people.

Before, after thinking that the political situation in Lin'an would be unstable after the Ming army withdrew, Zhang Shi raised this concern.

"The Song Dynasty army was completely destroyed, and the remaining Lin'an defending troops were basically recruits, without training, lack of weapons and equipment, and lack of effective command. It's okay to protect Lin'an. Any emergencies cannot be dealt with at all."

Zhang Shi whispered: "Simply put, at least within a year, we have no way to deal with the possible problems in various places, especially the Sichuan-Shu issue, which is even more uncoordinated.

To put it bluntly, the Song Dynasty... Our Jiangnan Kingdom is now a mud-footed giant. It's okay if no one raises troops to cause trouble. Once someone raises troops to cause trouble, we will be helpless."

Zhang Shi said it very clearly.

At that time, the expressions of Chen Gai and Zhou Linzhi and others were extremely difficult to see, but they had to admit that what Zhang Shi said was right.

With the current strength of the Lin'an court, self-protection is still a difficult problem, let alone suppressing unjust officials.

Once a large-scale rebellion occurs in the local area and disobeying Lin'an, even if it is just a lip service, it will make Lin'an very painful. Therefore, Zhang Shi boldly proposed a strategy - the fox pretends to be a tiger's power.

He took the initiative to invite the Ming Dynasty to garrison troops and use the Ming Dynasty to shock the young people.

Let the little people know that although the Lin'an court had lost its deterrence, they were recognized and supported by the Ming Dynasty. Once the little people were ill-behaved, the Daming Heavenly soldiers would immediately dispatch to attack them.

You are not afraid of us, do you still dare not be afraid of the Great Dark Soldiers?

With the help of the Ming army's power to shock the unjust hearts of the villains, we can gain time for the Lin'an Central Committee to restore military strength and deterrence. We can even use the excellent training model of the Ming army to hire Ming army officers to train the Southern Song army, so that the Southern Song army can also become good at fighting. Isn't this a very meaningful behavior?

It’s true that after Zhang Shi’s suggestion was put forward, it really won the approval of many people.

They all think that this is the best solution at the moment, and there is no better way than this one.

Only Zhou Linzhi raised an objection, believing that doing so clearly for Lin'an is to be the tyrant of Ming, and even rely on Ming to do things, rely on Ming, and let Ming garrison troops be near Lin'an. Isn't this seeking death?

So do they still have any autonomy?

"In this way, how can our country be independent?"

Zhou Linzhi's words made some officials support him.

These officials believe that even if they have become ministers of Jiangnan, they cannot lose their independence. This is a bottom line problem.

But Zhang Shi said something completely to Chen Gai.

"Before being independent, we must survive first. If there is no existence, how can we talk about autonomy? The current situation is that Ming Kingdom does not need us, but we need Ming Kingdom!"

Zhou Linzhi had nothing to say, and the opposition had nothing to say.

In the end, Chen Zuo adopted Zhang Bai's opinion, proposed additional clauses to the Ming Kingdom at the negotiating meeting, and actively requested the Ming army to garrison and leave an army in Lin'an to assist the Lin'an Central Committee in deterring the slut.
