Chapter 1101 Akbar

In the same month when the emperor wanted to make Jinyiwei monitor the world and restart the west factory set up by Wu Zong Dynasty, the western border of Ming Dynasty was not stable again.

This west is not the Uzang capital, but the Goa of the Atlantic Army.

The news spread from Jiayuguan to Beijing. Envoys and caravans from the Mughals passed through the Yarkand Khanate, knocked on the pass and asked to visit Beijing to meet the emperor. They had been waiting for two months in Suzhouwei, the westernmost point of the Ming Dynasty.

The one who rushed to report to Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was a bannerman of the Suzhou Guard, a descendant of Chagatai who had escaped from Yili Bali, an old Semu man.

The weather-beaten skin, patched military uniform, and rusty armor easily reminded the emperor of his frontier defense. It was difficult to see the real appearance of the Ming Empire's frontier defense in Beijing, which made the emperor feel lucky.

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

What the veterans from Suzhou Guard want to express is: several caravans from Yarkand entered Suzhou Guard, and one of the caravans claimed to be an envoy from Mughal, holding a letter claiming to be Mughal Wang Akbar's letter wants to meet the emperor.

According to the original regulations, they would leave after meeting Qianhu of the Xidianzibao garrison. If they were lucky enough, they would meet the Jiayuguan guerrilla general or the commander of the Suzhou Guard. This was the end of their trip, but Because of the emperor's decree, Suzhou Wei sent people across the entire empire to report the news of the barbarian envoy's arrival to Shuntian Prefecture.

In the past, there were countless envoys like this, and the merchants in the Western Regions wanted to impersonate those countries all over the place to defraud Ming Dynasty of paying tribute back.

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

As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire occupied the Nanyang voyages to Africa and communicated with all the trade routes along the way. Guangzhou Prefecture was a more important trade center than Xi’an Prefecture. Taxes to attack the Northwest, manage the Northwest.

Wouldn't it be good to ask Shibosi to sell an extra [-] bolts of silk to Persian Semuren merchants with that spirit?

The overland Silk Road has long been outdated.

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

To be precise, the foreign affairs room is full of warriors. Every year, there are at least eleven or twelve, as many as thirty or forty eunuchs of the right age who are carefully selected, strong and flexible, and are sent to the North and South Lecture Halls to study martial arts. The latest knowledge of various military subjects in the country, but the Forbidden City does not have a place for the dragon slaying skills they have learned. Most of the time they are just containers of knowledge.

Bring the latest and best military knowledge back to the Forbidden City, and let them teach the emperor at his leisure.

Anyway, he can't be in charge of the government himself. Although the imperial power grows with age, what he can deal with is only some trivial matters.

For Emperor Wanli, who was full of hormonal restlessness and youthful vitality, what else could he do with his boring life besides endless sleeping with his daughter and studying?

As for the letter on the sail, what he was looking for was the report from the Western Army to the Mughals.

In the report of the Western Military Government to the Mughal Kingdom, it is said that Mughal was a small country located in the northwest of India. It was established by the descendants of Timur. Its military strength was neither large nor strong but it was very warlike. The Portuguese, who did not want to serve for the Western Army, ran to fight for them, separated from Daming by the insurmountable snow-capped mountains and deserts.

Moreover, this is very important, because the great, powerful and invincible Emperor Wanli is now the focus of attention—and, the ruler of this country, Akbar, proclaimed himself emperor, and continued for three fucking generations.

The emperor from where they came from?Timur proclaimed himself emperor from the place where no birds lay eggs in Samarkand, and after Timur's demise, his descendants went to northwest India to proclaim emperor?
False emperor!

Da Tianzi was heartbroken and chased the Yuan bandits to the north. This is the uncompetitive career of the ancestors. The Jade Seal of the Central Plains is still held in the hands of Bei Yuan Khan Ting Tuman Khan. You Jianguo, a descendant of Bei Yuan, dare to bluff in India proclaim oneself emperor?
Are you still sending envoys to find yourself now?

Of course, Mr. Yijun is not angry. The so-called emperor’s heartbreak is just a joke. It’s been a matter of several lifetimes. Maybe Qi Jiguang and other generals who are confronting the local barbarians in the north are still planning to make meritorious deeds with the Jade Seal of the Chuanguo obtained from the battle. , but civil servants have shattered the myth of Yuxi in the past hundreds of years.

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

As for the emperor's opinion on the jade seal, it is divided into different people. When the country was founded, several emperors needed to strengthen their confidence, and they did not get the jade seal from Beiyuan, so they had to expand the army for the jade seal, and engraved seventeen at once.

When it came to Jiajing, who was found to be the emperor, he needed jade seals to strengthen his confidence, so he engraved seven more, such as "Fengtian Chengyun Bao", "Da Ming's Destiny Treasure", "Xunhun Tianbao", "Changing Training Treasure", "Changing Treasure" There are a lot of "Ming Debao", and even a special seal is engraved for punishing Anmin and edicting Wanmin.

As for Emperor Wanli, whose self-confidence was unprecedentedly strong, he didn't need foreign objects to enhance his self-confidence. If he needed it, he could just pick up a stone and cover it with a red cloth.

If you really can't find any stones, you can also use dirt.

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

Not long after, the military eunuchs in the palace who had studied in the lecture hall sent letters after interpretation. Wang An, who was clutching the letter, looked annoyed and said, "Your Majesty, they call their great king Akbar the emperor, and they call him the emperor." Daming is called Khitan."

Normally, this is where the diplomacy ends.

You call someone by the wrong name at your door, do you still have to talk?
But Master Wanli is very new.

"Don't be angry, just keep talking about what the letter said." The young emperor Yun Danfengqing didn't seem to care about his own face, but comforted Wang An, who was full of humiliation and death, and said: "What should be handed over is still to be handed over. If he doesn’t understand, I can teach him, what is the first principle of the martial arts hall’s diplomacy? Use force as the backing, seek national interests, and use force by non-violent means.”

"The Western military mansion is at the door of Chen Bing Mughal's house. It's time to listen to what he has to say."

Emperor Wanli who was sitting on the deck of the Wanli ship suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and said, "By the way, don't forget to inform the Ministry of War later that Jiayuguan guerrillas will be fined half a year's salary."

Wang An, who was organizing the language for the statement letter, did not keep up with the emperor's wayward thinking, and the emperor responded with a long sigh.

Judging from his appearance, Emperor Wanli often felt helpless and distressed because his family members were not as smart as him by one-hundred-thousandth, and reminded: "They are in Suzhou Wei instead of Jiayuguan. What did you write? Just read from the middle, when other fake emperors write letters to the real emperor, they must first flatter themselves and then flatter me, there is nothing to look at."

　Good morning!
