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 politeness: "What did Nurhaci ask you to do?"
As the saying goes: Don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Yinsu was confident that his smile was absolutely friendly, but he ended up smiling like this, but Liu Che's unwelcome attitude made Yinsu'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, we, the Qing Dynasty, are willing to send troops to support us, and there is no need to pay any price. We only need the Han Dynasty to provide food, grass and medicine."
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials of the Northern Han and Manchu dynasties were in an uproar.
Although what Yinhu said was that 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 suddenly shocked. At the same time, he couldn't help but admired: You are worthy of being Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. You are so powerful. You have got everything right.
Although Liu Che said that he had caught the Qing Dynasty'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.
My 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 eunuch to hand it over to Liu Che for viewing, and 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 not an inch of land in Youzhou, the army will be completely returned to the outside of the pass, and this written document and the seal of the country will be used as evidence."
As soon as this statement came out, the Northern Han Dynasty was once again in an uproar. After all, Nurhaci had signed the credentials in his own hand. It can be seen that the other party, Nai He, was very sincere and he must have really wanted to join forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
At this thought, the Northern Han Dynasty courtiers all looked towards Liu Che, who was in power, with eager eyes, eager to help Liu Che immediately announce the alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
With the arrival of Eighth Prince Yinhu and the news that the Qing Dynasty was willing to help and did not want the Northern Han Dynasty to pay any price, the morale of the Northern Han Dynasty officials who were determined not to sink their boats 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 seemed that Nurhachi wrote the letter of credence in his own hand and also printed the national seal, which showed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was indeed sincere, but Liu Che obviously did not believe this.
Liu Che knew Nurhachi. He was a man who didn't get up early for no benefit at all. How could he really help the Northern Han Dynasty deal with the Qin army for free without any benefit at all? If this is true, it can only mean that Nurhachi has a bigger goal.
Although Liu Che did not believe in what Nurhachi did, since he had done so many tricks to confuse himself, or to set himself down, it was obvious that he sincerely wanted to join forces with the Northern Han Dynasty to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, 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 repel the Qin army. It will take a year or two at most, 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 Manchus, but that after joining forces with the Manchus, the Northern Han Dynasty would usher in a long and relatively safe buffer period.
When he thought of this, Liu Che was immediately excited, but then he thought about it, even if he got this buffer period, even if he joined forces with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to really defeat the Qin army, by then most of the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty would have been consumed.
It would be difficult to resist the Qing Dynasty's encroachment on Youzhou.
Thinking of this, Liu Che's heart suddenly became colder. Compared to the foreign Manchus occupying Youzhou, he would rather Qin Hao, a Han, occupy Youzhou, even if Qin Hao is a Han traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty.
"call……"
Liu Che took a long breath and stood up. He glanced at the ministers 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 and considerate of me so thoughtfully that 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 showed an impatient look and interrupted directly: "I understand the Qing Emperor's kindness, but..."
I saw Liu Che holding the Manchu credential and slowly walking 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……"
Yinzhu was completely dumbfounded when he saw this, and his whole brain was in a mess. He obviously didn't expect Liu Che to do this.
It stands to reason that they are already very sincere. They have already given them the steps and given them enough face. Why do you, Liu Che, have any reason to refuse?
Shouldn't we be happy and directly agree to the alliance? Why did we burn our 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 outsiders, even if it is with good intentions, not to mention that your country may not be all the same."
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, Yinhu opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything. Instead, a look of reverence flashed in his eyes.
As expected of Han Wu, he is so broad-minded and courageous!
Yinsu admired in his heart, and at the same time he secretly complained in his heart, because his mission this time was a complete failure.
