Chapter 1757: The dumbfounded eighth prince
Seeing that the envoy was actually a member of the Aixinjueluo family, Liu Che's face instantly turned cold. He was very cold and asked without any politeness: "What did Nurhaci ask you to do?"
As the saying goes: Don’t hit someone with a smiling face.
Yinhu was confident that his smile was absolutely friendly, but he ended up smiling like this, but Liu Che's unwelcoming attitude made Yinhu's face suddenly stiffen.
"uh-huh…"
After pretending to cough, Yinzhu immediately adjusted his position, with a spring-like smile on his face again, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, my emperor has seen that the Han Dynasty has been repeatedly frustrated in Hebei, and Jizhou and Qingbei have been occupied by Qin Hao , I am afraid that the Qin army will grow bigger and be out of control, so I sent my Majesty to ask if your Majesty needs support.
The Qin army is the common enemy of our two families. If the Han Dynasty cannot catch it, the Qing Dynasty is willing to send troops to support it, and it does not require any price. It only needs the Han Dynasty to provide food, grass and medicine. "
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the Northern Han Dynasty and Manchu Dynasty were all in an uproar.
What Yinhu said was that although he only came to ask if the Northern Han Dynasty needed help, the implication was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was willing to take the initiative to help the Northern Han Dynasty.
Previously, officials in the Northern Han Dynasty thought that if they wanted the Manchus to send troops, they would have to pay an immeasurable price, and the compensation for ceding territory could only be considered light. However, they never expected that the Manchus would take the initiative to help the Northern Han Dynasty because they were afraid of the Qin army. Chinese.
This is simply pie in the sky!
Except for Huo Guang and a few others who frowned slightly, most of the officials present looked excited, as if with the help of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty could really survive this disaster.
Although Liu Che was also surprised by Yinhu's intention, not only was he not excited at all, but he sneered and asked: "Can Nurhaci be so kind and take the initiative to help me, a big man, without asking for any benefits?
Don't you want to join forces with my Han Dynasty first, and then annex my Han Dynasty after defeating the powerful enemy Qin Army? "
Hearing this, Yinhu was shocked. At the same time, he couldn't help but admired: He is worthy of being the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He is really powerful. You have got everything right.
Although Liu Che hit the Manchu Qing's intention, Yinhu would not admit it. Instead, he said righteously: "The Qing and Han families have been at war with each other for many years. It is normal for your majesty not to trust me, the Qing Dynasty.
Our emperor also guessed that His Majesty would have concerns, so he wrote the letter of credence in his own hand. "
With that said, Yinhu took out the credentials from his entourage and asked the **** to hand it over to Liu Che for viewing. He continued: "My emperor promises that if the Han and Qing alliances are formed, after the Qin army is defeated, we, the Qing Dynasty, will never occupy If there is an inch of land in Youzhou, the army will be completely returned to the outside of the pass, and this document and the seal of the country will be used as proof."
As soon as these words came out, the Northern Han Dynasty and the public were in an uproar again. After all, Nurhachi signed the letter of credence himself, which shows that the other party is still very sincere and must really want to join forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
At this thought, the courtiers of the Northern Han Dynasty all looked at Liu Che, who was in power, eager to help Liu Che make the decision to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty.
With the arrival of Eighth Prince Yinhu and the news that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was willing to help and did not want the Northern Han Dynasty to pay the price, the morale of the Northern Han Dynasty's top officials who were ready to burn everything was demoralized.
Liu Che was also aware of this, but he had no time to care about it, because even he was a little moved, let alone those ministers.
On the surface, it seems that Nurhachi wrote the letter of credence in his own hand and printed the national seal, which shows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is indeed sincere, but Liu Che obviously does not believe this.
Liu Che knew Nurhaci well. He was a man who didn't get up early for any benefit. How could he really help the Northern Han Dynasty deal with the Qin army for free without getting any benefits at all? If this is the case, it can only mean that Nurhaci has a bigger goal. Although Liu Che did not believe in what Nurhaci did, since he played so many tricks to confuse himself, or to set himself down, he obviously really wanted to join forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
So, at least until the Qin army was completely defeated, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would never fall out with the Northern Han Dynasty.
It is naturally not that easy to defeat the Qin army. It will take a year or two more, a year and a half at least, and with this period of time as a buffer, Liu Che can do a lot of things during this period.
Therefore, what really moved Liu Che was not the unconditional support of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, but that after joining forces with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Northern Han Dynasty would usher in a long and relatively safe buffer period.
At this thought, Liu Che was immediately excited, but then he thought about it. Even if he got this buffer period, even if he teamed up with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to really defeat the Qin army, most of the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty would have been consumed by then. It would be difficult to resist the Manchu Qing's encroachment on Youzhou.
Thinking of this, Liu Che's heart suddenly became colder. Compared with the foreign Manchu Qing occupying Youzhou, he would rather Qin Hao, a Han, occupy Youzhou, even if Qin Hao is a Han traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che took a long breath and stood up. He glanced at the officials in the hall and saw that most of the officials were looking at him expectantly. He couldn't help but laugh at himself and said lightly: "The Qing Emperor really did this this time. You are so considerate for me, I feel a little embarrassed."
Hearing this, Yinhu quickly said: "This is what we should do. The Qin army is the common enemy of our two families. At this time, we should join forces to fight together..."
Before Yinhu finished speaking, Liu Che looked impatient and interrupted directly: "I understand the Qing Emperor's kindness, but..."
Liu Che was seen holding the Manchu credential and walking slowly towards a candlestick. Then, amid the exclamations of the Manchu civil and military officials, he actually burned the credential written by Nurhachi and stamped with the Manchu seal.
"this…"
Yinhu was completely dumbfounded when he saw this, and his whole brain was in a mess. Apparently he didn't expect Liu Che to do this.
Logically speaking, they are already very sincere. They have been given the steps and face. Why do you, Liu Che, have any reason to refuse?
Shouldn’t we be happy and directly agree to the alliance? Why did he burn his credentials instead?
This is completely out of character!
After Liu Che burned his credentials, he turned to look at Yinhu and said with a faint smile: "The dispute between Qin and Han is an internal fight between the Han people. I don't need help from foreigners, even if it is with good intentions, not to mention that your country is probably not all. I have good intentions, so I have no choice but to live up to the Qing Emperor’s good intentions.”
After hearing Liu Che's remarks, Yinsu opened his mouth and wanted to defend something, but he couldn't say anything. Instead, a trace of reverence flashed in his eyes.
As expected of Han Wu, he is so broad-minded and courageous!
Yinhu admired in his heart, and at the same time secretly complained in his heart, because his mission this time was a complete failure.
