Xiao Wanli is at a very, very middle-aged age. It is not easy to distinguish right from wrong at this age. He often listens to the wind and rain.

After the Beiyang important officials carefully said that "maybe" could move the Jurchens, Mongolia and other frontier uneasiness factors to Yamelica on a large scale, his ungrown and mature brain quickly passed the conditions to filter information, including analyzing the position of Chen Mu, the core interests of the Beiyang and the Dongyang Military Office, which were originally similar to what he understood, and he also imagined the Beiyang and Dongyang stances and the core interests of the Beiyang and the important officials.

This theory was originally very correct and simple and effective. Chen Mu missed a little one - in the consciousness of the little emperor, Mongolian and Jurchens were not enemies that could threaten the Ming Dynasty.

It's just a problem, not a major problem.

In the dark room of the imperial palace in the Forbidden City after Chen Mu left, the little emperor did not rush to study the "Shangshu" again. He took a few large blank papers, first wrote the word "Bei Lu", and then grabbed the pen that was stained with red moistness and made a fork.

There is nothing to analyze in Mongolia, so Altan jumps, but now he is well-behaved.

Then he held a brush and wrote two names of Li Chengliang and Chen Mu on the paper, and drew three large circles next to it, filling in the circles with the names of Jianzhou, Haixi and Savage. He was about to start the connection, and frowned and looked at the little eunuchs standing beside him with a very stingy look.

Wang An knew that the emperor was not happy to disturb his work, so he stood aside with the whisk in his arms. Zhang Jing had to live a lot of life, so he kept watching the emperor's every move. When he saw the emperor looking up, he hurriedly took the whisk and asked, "What are the instructions of grandpa?"

The eunuch held the whisk and was floating in a fairy spirit. In fact, the effect was the same as a feather duster. When he went out, the emperor might just sit there and sweep the floating soil wherever he sat.

The little emperor looked very alert with a expressionless expression. He glanced at the narrow bookshelf door and said, "Go out and look at me. One is outside the hall and the other is inside the hall. No one is allowed to come in."

"yes!"

When the two went out, the little emperor felt a little relieved. Looking at the five names in the picture to connect, the first ones were the Haixi and Chen Mu. The Haixi was also called the Black Water Mart. Among the information collected by the emperor, many small tribes in the western part of the sea were led by soldiers to recruit in the Three Guards of Kuwu Island. Now, the North Asia Meliga Magui tribe, and the Japanese Eastern Front Li Rusong tribes are mostly under the Haixi Jurchens.

Even the archipelago that leads to North Asia Melica is named after the Black Water Marine. There is no doubt that this is a great contribution and is connected with Chen Mu.

Then there was the backward development of the savage Jurchen. The little emperor held the ink pen and stuffed it into his mouth to think. He was a little troubled because he found that it seemed that the savage Jurchen was the current Black Water Marine, for example, the natives who lived in the Black Water Marine Islands and were recruited as the banner army of the Thousand Houses of the Ten Islands.

In the past, it was said that the Jurchens had two tributes in three parts. The ones that paid tribute once a year were Jianzhou and Haixi, and the ones that paid tribute once a year must be the savage Jurchens. That was the incident of Grandpa Wanli's Jiajing Dynasty, but the flag army of the Thousand Households of the Ten Islands never paid tribute once in their lifetime. Aren't they not the savage Jurchens?

The little emperor, who suddenly realized, hurriedly took off the ink pen from his mouth, raised his hand to touch his lips and felt a black palm again, shook his head helplessly and then connected the savage Jurchen with Chen Mu.

The last Jianzhou was connected with Li Chengliang without thinking.

In fact, in the impression of the little emperor, the Jianzhou Jurchens also respected the court very much. They developed well through the court's pass. Although the tribes often attacked each other in chaos, at least in their tradition, if the two tribes stopped their troops and made peace, they would have to go to Fushun City Pass to witness the signing of an alliance with the Ming army.

The little emperor stretched his neck back, held up the big paper with both hands, and blew the ink marks on the paper, trying his best to let his little head see the whole big paper at once, and secretly frowned and came to a conclusion in his heart: there was no threat at all!

The names of the two imperial generals on paper, Li Chengliang does not represent Li Chengliang, and Chen Mu does not represent Chen Mu. In the eyes of the emperor, these two names represent the court's two traditional strategies against the four barbarians, one is to suppress and the other is to pacify.

Although no matter the person represented by the name itself or the strategy represented by the name, suppression is not simply suppression, and comfort is not simply suppression, for the emperor, this classification method is easier and more intuitive.

The emperor raised his hand and wanted to push the black wield of Shanguan. When he reached his forehead, he found that the hat had been put aside by him. He simply scratched the hair scarf. He was trying to understand the "natural contradiction" between the Mongolian, Jurchens and the court in Chen Mu's mouth, but this kind of thinking failed to get an answer - where is there a natural contradiction?

It seems that the Jurchens and the court have many conflicts, such as Li Chengliang, who always bullies them to lead military achievements with their heads, Chen Mu, who recruits military soldiers from them, and the leaders of various tribes who always make trouble and surrender and rebel, but these are obviously man-made disasters, and none of them are natural.

"Fortunately, the Jurchens did not farm."

Among the simple values ​​obtained by the little emperor through learning, he was the emperor who held the highest power in the world. He would offend anyone he wanted, but he could not mess with farming.

If you provoke those who study, those who study will cause trouble for themselves; if you provoke those who join the army, you will lose the war; if you provoke those who do business... If you provoke those who do business, you will be rich even if you may not do it well; if you provoke those who farm, they will want to use the land of the emperor to grow one of them.

Wanli pondered for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find out where the "natural contradiction" was mentioned in Chen Mu.

Under the education of tradition and innovation, which are already frictional and even completely contrary to each other, the little emperor's thoughts have been pulled, and his thinking is also jumping around, just like a map scroll pulled down from a wall, and all the relationships are changing rapidly.

Such as the world.

If the Ming Dynasty is the world, the court and the Northern Barbarians will have a battle sooner or later. This is also the lifelong wish of the rulers and ministers of the current dynasty. Three generations of monarchs and ministers have been accumulating strength, even after peace talks, they are still accumulating greater strength, just to one day decide the real victory and defeat in the northern border.

In the same way, from Confucius to the present gentry, how many of them would think that outside China would breed civilizations that could be ranked alongside China? No, they didn't even think that the four barbarians in the world could catch up with half of China's civilization.

As radical as if he was nine feet tall, Confucius, drew his sword and killed people, believed that the "ritual" of the princes was to keep the country, to enforce their governments, and to do so without losing their people. The existence of the country was to protect the people from foreign barbarians and lead the people to respect the royal family.

And break out of the traditional Ming Dynasty world and discuss it with the world of the world.

There seems to be no need for the imperial court to fight with the Northern Territory.

This is exactly what Emperor Wanli believes that he is "faced". The more the court knows about foreign countries, it is becoming more and more confirmed that the four barbarians in the world seem to have really reproduced civilizations that "can catch up with half of China", and some places are stronger than the Ming Dynasty.

What he is facing is not a decisive battle in the northern border, but a battle to defend the way between China and foreigners.

Driven by this strong sense of historical mission, the little emperor stubbornly believed that Chen Mu was his guardian, and added many inner dramas to Chen Mu in his mind such as "fighting a world war".

"How much power can be integrated for this goal?"
