This matter was left unresolved, and Guo Zhiyuan escaped the disaster. The relationship between Dongfan and the court also returned to the previous harmonious relationship. Dongfan contributed taxes to the court on time, and the court did not interfere in the affairs of Dongfan at will. It is said that Guo Zhiyuan could take a breath at this time, but what puzzled the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team was that Guo Zhiyuan was more diligent than before. He asked the new army to strengthen training and expand military preparations, demanded military factories to accelerate the production of flintlock rifles, and asked Zhao Shizhen to accelerate the research and development of new firearms, and began to reserve a large amount of military supplies. It seemed that a whip was urging Guo Zhiyuan to start to accelerate and run forward.

The backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team thought that this incident made Guo Zhiyuan feel the pressure from the court, so he had to strengthen his military preparations to deal with the threat of force from the court, but Guo Zhiyuan's other actions made them even more puzzled. Guo Zhiyuan asked the sea trade fleet to buy a large number of Arab war horses from West Asian merchants at any cost, and also found a way to get Mongolian and Dian horses from the inland to let new immigrants who know how to breed horses to breed for them to breed and improve them. He said that he would cultivate a new horse breed that has the advantages of both the high explosive power and the strong speed of Arab horses, as well as good endurance of Dian horses, and is as cold-resistant as Mongolian horses and super vitality.

At the same time, Guo Zhiyuan also selected five thousand elite troops from the new army and asked them to start practicing cavalry tactics. He said that he wanted to train cavalry troops, which made the backbone of the team completely incomprehensible. The seas are all around the East. What's the use of training cavalry troops? Could it be that Guo Zhiyuan wanted to fight the court with these five thousand cavalry? Isn't this too ridiculous?

However, Guo Zhiyuan was determined to do his own thing and spent huge sums of money to let the shipyard build a "big belly ship" of a thousand stone. This "big belly ship" does not carry artillery and has no attack power. Its only function is to transport horses and soldiers. The backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team thinks that Guo Zhiyuan must be crazy. In the current situation in Edongbo, building such a "big belly ship" that can only transport horses and soldiers is a waste. Dongbo is just such a big island, and no matter how fast it develops, it is limited. With the advantage of the sea, the strength of the Dongbo Navy is still fine to protect itself, but to launch an expedition, it would be a self-destruction!

Guo Zhiyuan really didn't know how to explain this problem to the backbone of the team, because the purpose of his doing this was not aimed at the court, but the future enemy of the Ming Dynasty - the Later Jin! Because he knew that according to the historical process, the Later Jin had begun to show his sharp minions at this time, Nurhaci was fighting everywhere, unifying the various divisions of Jianzhou Jurchens, and his strength was rapidly growing. It was not far from the Battle of Sarhu, which shocked the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and completely changed the development fate of the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty!

But at this time, not to mention the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team, even the Wanli Emperor in Beijing had not realized the threat from the Later Jin. The entire Ming Dynasty was unaware of the ambitions of the Later Jin. At this time, the Later Jin gave the Ming Dynasty a very honest impression. In the 29th year of Wanli (1601), Nurhaci also made a special trip to Beijing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, after the famous general Li Chengliang was dismissed, the military preparations of the Liaodong border army were relaxed, and the leading generals deceived the superiors and subordinates, and turned a blind eye to Nurhaci's behavior of fighting and expanding the forces everywhere and concealed them. Even until 1615, the year before Nurhaci established the Later Jin Kingdom, the Governor of Ji Liao also reported to the court that he "followed the order."

So even though Guo Zhiyuan knew that the Later Jin would become the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty and eventually replaced the Ming Dynasty to establish the Qing Dynasty in the original historical time and space, he could not remind anyone that at this time he would submit a memorial to remind Emperor Wanli that you must be careful of the Later Jin, and that they will come to beat you. Emperor Wanli would definitely think that he was crazy about gaining and losing. In Emperor Wanli's heart, the Later Jin is much more honest than you Guo Zhiyuan. I must be careful and beware of you little bastard!

However, Guo Zhiyuan could not sit idly by and watch the tragedy of history repeat itself. The rise of the Later Jin Dynasty will not only accelerate the decline of the Ming Dynasty, but also cause the people to suffer and corpses everywhere. So he could only prepare secretly. Perhaps the preparations he made cannot change anything, but it is better than doing nothing.

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was often staring at the north alone, Chu Wan'er explained that he should not think so much. Isn't life good now? Guo Zhiyuan just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't help but think about it. I don't want to live in an era when we have sons when we meet people and call ourselves slaves..."

When it comes to the matter of offspring, Chu Wan'er's expression became gloomy. Guo Zhiyuan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hugged her and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore, let's hurry up and 'creating' and add a little baby to our family..."

Perhaps God was also moved by Guo Zhiyuan's concern for the country and the people, and Guo Zhiyuan's "creation of humans" finally achieved results! A month later, Chu Wan'er finally got pregnant, and everyone in Dongba was excited about this great news. Three days of Daqing! Ten months later, Chu Wan'er gave birth to a baby boy as she wished. The baby boy was extremely strong and weighed eight pounds. When she was born, she cried earth-shaking. Guo Zhiyuan's team members rushed to congratulate him one after another. Even Xu Guangqi and Shen Yourong, who had left Dongba and went to the inland to serve as officials, also arrived.

Guo Zhiyuan was also very happy and held a big banquet. At the banquet, Xu Guangqi asked Guo Zhiyuan that he had thought of the child's name. Guo Zhiyuan blurted out: "I have thought about it a long time ago, so I will call him Guo Polu!"

Days pass by day. Guo Zhiyuan stays with his wife and children every day and enjoys family happiness. It is said that the gentle hometown is a heroic tomb. Guo Zhiyuan really hopes that the things he is worried about will not happen, and just stay in Dongfan and live a peaceful life.

However, it is obvious that the strong inertia of history did not change the original trajectory due to Guo Zhiyuan's time travel. In the 44th year of Wanli (1616), Nurhaci unified most of the Jurchen tribes and no longer hid his ambitions. In Hetura, he was called "the wise khan of the nations" and his country was named "Da Jin" (known in history as the Later Jin), and became the Great Khan of the Later Jin, with the reign of the Destiny!
