In the same month that the emperor wanted to make Jinyiwei supervise the world and restart the west factory set up by the Wuzong Dynasty, the western border of the Ming Dynasty was unstable again.

This western part is not Uszangdus, it is the Goa of the Atlantic Military Palace.

The news came from Jiayuguan to Beijing, and the Mughal envoys and caravans passed through the Yarkand Khanate, knocking on the pass to ask for a visit to Beijing to meet the emperor, and had been waiting for two months in Suzhou, the westernmost part of the Ming Dynasty.

The one who came to report to the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a banner army of Suzhou Wei, a descendant of Chagatai who had fled from Yili Jiangli, an old man with colored eyes.

The sand-soaked skin, patched uniforms, and rusty armor easily reminded the emperor of his frontier defenses, and it was difficult to see the true appearance of the Ming Empire's frontier defenses in Beijing, which made the emperor feel fortunate.

If it weren't for Chen Mu who moved him and told him that the exchanges between countries in this world, the strong should be more proactive, because it would be more beneficial to the strong, and the empire would probably miss this envoy group.

What the veterans from Suzhou Wei wanted to express was that several caravans from Yarkand entered Suzhou Wei, and one of the caravans claimed to be envoys from the Mughals, holding a letter claiming to be Akbar, the Mughal king, who wanted to meet the emperor.

According to the original handling regulations, they would leave after seeing the thousand households of the Xidianzibao garrison, and if they went to the great luck, they would meet the Jiayuguan guerrilla general or the commander of the Suzhou Wei, which was the end of their trip, but because of the emperor's edict, the Suzhou Wei sent people through the entire empire to report the news of the arrival of the envoys to Shuntianfu.

In the past, there were many envoys like this, and the merchants in the Western Regions were eager to impersonate those countries to deceive the Ming Dynasty into paying tribute.

The Silk Road once benefited the Central Plains Dynasty a lot, but this was not the case in the Ming Dynasty.

For the Ming Empire, which occupied the Nanyang voyage to Africa as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and communicated all the trade routes along the way, Guangzhou was a more important trade center than Xi'an.

With that spiritual head, wouldn't it be good to let the city boss sell an extra 100,000 pieces of silk to the Persian merchants?

The overland Silk Road is long gone.

The emperor only saw the veteran, and the letter sent was handed over to the foreign affairs room in the palace, and at the same time sent his relatives to look for the letter on the sail of the Wanli ship in the military room.

Every year, there are as few as eleven or twelve, and as many as thirty or forty carefully selected, strong, and flexible eunuchs of the right age are sent to the north and south to lecture on martial arts to learn the latest knowledge of various military subjects in the country, but the Forbidden City does not have the place where the dragon slaying techniques they have learned are used, and most of the time they are just containers of knowledge.

Bring the latest and greatest military knowledge back to the Forbidden City, and they will give lessons to the emperor at his leisure.

Anyway, you can't be pro-government, although the imperial power grows with age year by year, but what can be dealt with is only some trivial things.

For the restless and youthful vitality of the Wanli Emperor, who was full of hormones, what else could he do in his boring life except for endless sleeping palace daughters and studying?

As for the letter on the sail, what he was looking for was the report of the Western military government to the Mughals.

In the report of the Western military government to the Mughal state, it is said that the Mughal is a small country located in the northwest of India, founded by the descendants of Timur, with neither many troops nor strong but very warlike, and some Portuguese who are unwilling to serve the Western military government run to fight for them, separated from the Ming Dynasty by the unsurpassable snow-capped mountains and deserts.

Moreover, this is also important, because the focus of the great, powerful and invincible Wanli Emperor has come - and besides, the ruler of this country, Akbar, has proclaimed himself emperor, and has been fucking for three generations.

Where did they come from the emperor? Timur became emperor from Samarkand, where birds do not lay eggs, and after Timur's demise, his descendants went to northwestern India to claim the throne?

Puppet Emperor!

The great emperor is heartbroken, the north chases the Yuan Kou, this is the uncompetitive industry of the ancestors, the jade seal of the Central Plains is still in the hands of the Northern Yuan Khan, you are a descendant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and dare to bluff the emperor in India?

And now you still send envoys to find you?

Of course, Mr. Yijun is not angry, the so-called Son of Heaven is just joking, it is a matter of several lifetimes, and Qi Jiguang and other generals who are confronting the barbarians in the north are also ready to make a merit for the heirloom jade seal obtained from the war, but the ministers have already shattered the myth of the jade seal in the past hundred years.

In the past, it was said that it was ordered by heaven, but now everyone pays attention to being ordered by virtue.

As for the emperor's opinion on this jade seal, it is necessary to divide people, and several emperors need to enhance their confidence when they open the country, and they did not get the jade seal of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so they had to expand the army for the jade seal, and carved seventeen pieces at once.

When Jiajing, who was found to be the emperor, he needed the jade seal to enhance his confidence, so he added seven more pieces, like what "Fengtian Carrying Treasure", "Ming Ordered Treasure", "Patrol World Treasure", "Vertical Training Treasure", "Destiny Treasure" A lot of them, and even the people have to be specially engraved with a seal.

And for Emperor Wanli, whose self-confidence is unprecedentedly strong, he doesn't need foreign objects to enhance his self-confidence at all, if he needs it, just pick up a stone and cover a red cloth, even if he has it.

If you can't find a stone, you can do it.

For this reason, the Wanli Emperor was naturally reluctant to communicate more with the Mughals.

It didn't take long for the military eunuchs in the palace who had studied in the martial arts hall to send a translated letter, and Wang An, who was holding the letter, looked angry and said: "Your Majesty, they call their king Akbar the emperor, and they also call the Ming Dynasty Khitan." ”

Normally, this is the end of diplomacy.

Calling someone's name wrong at the door, and still have to talk?

But Wanli Ye is very new.

"Don't be angry, go on with what the letter says." The young emperor Yun Danfeng didn't seem to care about his face, but comforted Wang An, who was full of humiliation and death, and said: "It should be handed over or handed over, he doesn't understand, I can teach him, what is the first criterion of martial arts diplomacy?" It is to use force as a backing, to pursue national interests, and to use non-violent means to exercise force. ”

"The Western military government is at the door of Chen Bing's Mughal house, you should listen to what he has to say."

Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the deck of the Wanli ship, suddenly raised his eyebrows as he spoke, raised his hand and said, "By the way, don't forget to inform the military department later, and punish Jiayuguan guerrillas for half a year." ”

Wang An, who was organizing the language for the presentation of the letter, did not keep up with the emperor's willful and jumping thinking, and the emperor gave him a long sigh in response.

Judging from his appearance, the Wanli Emperor also often felt helpless and distressed because his family was not as smart as one hundred thousandth of him, and reminded: "They are outside Suzhou Wei and not Jiayu Pass, and the guerrilla general must have accepted bribes - what is written in the letter?" Read it directly from the middle, other fake emperors write letters to me, the real emperor, and they must praise themselves first and then praise me, there is nothing to see. ”
