At this time, the only forces that could come over to negotiate terms with Nanchen and convince Emperor Hongde that they were capable of cooperating with him were the Tatars further north.
Obviously, the Tatar Khan, who had received countless gifts from the Northern Qi Dynasty and married two princesses of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was not as honest as he seemed on the surface.
The Tatar tribe is still just a tribe on the northern grasslands. Although it has become more and more powerful in recent years, it has even been able to fight back and forth with Zhuli Zhenren. However, because the territory is too small and there are not enough territory resources, there is not enough territory. s population.
There is no way to build a country.
They urgently needed a land large enough and with a population large enough for them to establish their own country.
Emperor Hong De looked at the Tatar envoy quietly and suddenly smiled: "You speak Chinese very well. Are you Han?"
Unlike the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was almost completely Sinicized, few people in the Tatar tribe can speak Chinese. They are still an "uncivilized" alien race, and not many people can speak Chinese.
The envoy bowed slightly and said: "To answer your Majesty's question, the foreign minister is indeed a Han. He just grew up on the grassland and assisted our great Khan."
Emperor Hong De rubbed his brows and continued: "Since you are a Han, you should know that Yandu is the ancient capital of our country, and it is also my ancestral land. Several generations of my ancestors are buried near Yandu. You Where do you have the courage to ask me for the capital of Yan?"
The messenger's name was Mu Tuo. He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, more than seventy years have passed since what happened back then. Now the capital of Dachen has long been settled in Jiankang. Everyone in the world knows that Jiankang is the only one who knows." It is the capital of Dachen."
"Not to mention whether Da Chen has the ability to defeat Northern Qi. Even if he does, after taking back the capital of Yan, will your majesty move the capital immediately?"
This is indeed a big problem.
The relocation of the capital is by no means a small matter. Da Chen was forced to move to the south, but he did take root in the south.
Today's Jiankang is already a very prosperous and qualified capital city.
It's just that due to the face, Da Chen's official has not acknowledged it.
And moving the capital is by no means an easy task.
The imperial gentry had already taken root near Jiankang, and the expatriates who had migrated south had become serious Jiangnan people after several generations.
Letting them return to the north all at once would be a huge pressure.
The Ming Dynasty in another world had already taken root here only thirty-four years after Jiankang established its capital. It took Zhu Laosi nineteen years to successfully move the capital, with almost as much prestige as the founding emperor.
The messenger Mu Tuo lowered his head and said calmly: "Besides, if your Majesty is unwilling to cooperate with our country, not to mention whether your Majesty can defeat Zhu Li Zhenren and take back Yandu, even if it can be done, that At that time, the vitality will definitely be greatly damaged, and the body will be covered with bruises."
"I, the Great Khan, do not want to be someone who takes advantage of others' danger, so I asked the foreign ministers to go south to meet His Majesty and discuss cooperation to destroy Qi. If cooperation fails, I, the Great Khan, will take advantage of the situation and go south."
He looked up at Emperor Hong De, then lowered his head carefully, and said, "At that time, His Majesty's Northern Expeditionary Army may not even be able to come back."
This is what Emperor Hong De is really thinking about.
He was indeed a little worried. When both Chen and Qi were beaten to the point of being bruised and bruised, the Tatar tribe would take advantage of the situation and move south, and they might not be able to withstand it by then.
Emperor Hongde raised his eyebrows: "Is the envoy threatening me?"
"Foreign ministers don't dare."
Mu Tuo lowered his head and said respectfully: "I just want to explain the situation clearly to Your Majesty."
He paused and continued: "Your Majesty may not know that Northern Qi has transferred the frontier troops they placed in the north. Now our army can move south unimpeded."
Emperor Hongde was expressionless.
"Tell me, what can you do?"
Mu Tuo lowered his head and bowed: "Your Majesty, each of us will take his own place."
What this means is that south of Yanmen Pass, Da Chen will fight on his own.
To the north of Yanmen Pass, where the Tatars need it, the Tatars themselves will fight.
This plan still sounds fair.
But now, the vast majority of Northern Qi's troops are stationed in the south, and the Tatar tribe has not said when they will take action. Therefore, if considered from a practical perspective, Nanchen may still suffer.
Emperor Hongde was not an emperor to be fooled. He thought for a while and continued to ask: "If we follow this method, when will your country send troops?"
Muto lowered his head.
"After your majesty agreed, the foreign ministers returned at night. After the general returned to our country, I, the Great Khan, immediately sent troops south to assist the Han Emperor in annihilating the Northern Qi Dynasty and sweep away the seventy-year haze of the Han family."
Mu Tuo continued to lower his head and said: "After our troops attack Yandu, we will definitely capture a lot of the Northern Qi royal family. They will all be sent to Jiankang and handed over to His Majesty the Han Emperor."
This Tatar envoy is very good at talking.
The words "Huang Huang" were spoken twice, which was very helpful to Emperor Hongde.
However, since he was an emperor since he was a child, he had heard such flattering words countless times. He quickly came to his senses and chuckled: "I still need to think about this matter."
His Majesty the Emperor also paused and continued: "However, if your country allows me, Da Chen, to take back the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures, including Yandu, and cooperate between the two parties, I will agree immediately."
"After I take back my homeland, I can recognize your country as the founding of the country in the north, and recognize your country as the lord of the grassland."
Mu Tuo's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, our troops have already crossed the grassland."
"You won't give in an inch of ground. After the foreign minister returns, he won't even be able to mention it to me."
"You have your conditions, and I have mine."
Emperor Hong De smiled and said: "It's called discussion when there is discussion and consideration."
Mu Tuo took a deep breath, lowered his head and said: "In this case, the foreign minister bids farewell to His Majesty the Han Emperor and returns to the north."
Emperor Hong De also took a breath, squinted his eyes, and said, "Then I will send him off not far away."
"When the envoy returns to the north, if he passes through Shandong, he can go and see my commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition."
Mu Tuo frowned, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Han, could it be that Lord Shen has the final say in the major affairs of this country?"
"I have the final say."
The emperor smiled and said: "But I am hesitant now and will have to think about it for some time."
"I am a person who is very good at accepting advice."
Mu Tuo was thoughtful and lowered his head slightly: "I understand, foreign minister, if you pass by Lord Shen, you should pay him a visit."
He bowed, said goodbye and left.
Emperor Hong De did not get up and watched Mu Tuo leave. He picked up the tea again and lowered his head to drink tea.
To be honest, the conditions proposed by the Tatar Ministry this time have already made him very excited.
After all, he, the Emperor of Chen, was born in Jiankang and raised in Jiankang. He has not experienced the events of seventy years ago. It would be best if he could restore his homeland.
But it is not easy for the imperial court to support the Northern Expedition now.
Now, even Shen Yi himself does not dare to say that the Northern Expedition will definitely win.
But with the support of the Tatar Ministry, the difficulty of this Northern Expedition will suddenly decrease!
Being able to take back the south of Yanmen Pass, his current emperor cannot even be described with the word ZTE!
It can be said to be a re-creation of the world!
Such great achievements are in the history of Dachen. Apart from Emperor Taizu, there is no other person!
The only thing that made Emperor Hongde hesitate was what Shen Yi once said to him.
To the north of Zhu Li Zhenren, there are even more fierce and terrifying enemies.
If he directly cooperates with the Tatars, not to mention what Shen Yi thinks, even if this cooperation is implemented, the imperial court successfully takes back the south of Yanmen Pass and completes the Hongde Zhongxing. Dachen once again reached its peak and its national power was strong, allowing the Tatars to People dare not go south.
But after the end of the Hongde Dynasty, the next Emperor Chen may face an enemy that is more difficult to deal with than Northern Qi.
Thinking of his sons, Emperor Hongde did not respond.
He watched Mu Tuo go away, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Gao Ming."
Eunuch Gao stood up, lowered his head slightly and said, "My servant is here."
"Keep an eye on this MUTO."
Emperor Hongde said expressionlessly: "He is not allowed to contact any ministers of Jiankang, especially several prime ministers, six ministries and nine ministers."
Eunuch Gao lowered his head: "I understand."
Emperor Hong De took a deep breath and continued: "I want to write a letter to Shen Yi. In a moment, you can ask the inner guards to rush it to him six hundred miles away."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head again.
"yes."
Emperor Hong De grabbed the brush on the table, pondered for a while, and then started to write.
After roughly writing what happened, the letter began to wrap up.
When it came to the last paragraph, Emperor Hong De put pen to paper.
"It seems feasible for the country and the dynasty."
"Xuu and Wenzi, destroy Northern Qi first."
"After a few years, regain your strength and start plotting again."
"how?"
