"Have you allowed me to do new military uniforms?"

There is no doubt that Chen Mu was invited into the dark room of the ear room of the bedroom again. This room, which looked like a combat staff room, was brightly lit, but in fact it had become the emperor's study room.

On the table are the Four Books and Five Classics and several boxes of large books brought by eunuchs from the library. There are grand books inside, which is the Yongle Ceremony.

Behind the secret door was the clothes hanger moved by the Nanyang Guard Chen Mansion, and a yellow round-neck robe with a twelve chapter patterns of the little emperor. As for the person who sat cross-legged behind the desk with a brush holding a pair of black lips, he was happily wearing Beiyang military uniforms. The small black winged crown was thrown aside, and he stood up and complained, "Hmph, this room is too small, and it can't even be hung with a big map!"

Chen Mu looked down and saw that the table in front of the little emperor was messy.

With the "Great University" upside down, the "Shangshu" is placed neatly, while the "Tongjian" is stacked on the mat on the floor. Several war reports from previous years are unfolded in the middle of the table. It is pressed down below and only the handwriting is revealed. It is the Luzon war process written by Zhao Shizhen. The top is the battle process of Li Chengliang's Liaodong Town attacking and destroying Wang Gao the previous year.

On the wall facing the table, the map scroll was pulled open and drawn with the drawing method taught by the Xuanfu Martial Arts Hall to draw maps of Liaodong and Jianzhou. Next to the table battle report, a charcoal sketch was drawn, with deep or shallow ink marking the march route.

Chen Mu did not respond to the complaint of the little emperor, but just whispered: "Your Majesty, you have eaten the ink."

"Um?"

The little emperor was taking the 'Siamese servant' he liked from the eunuch Wang An. He reached out and reached out halfway through Chen Mu's words. He also stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. Finally, he raised his hand and smirked at the back of his hand. He waved his hand boldly and said, "It's not a problem, you will have to eat again when you leave later."

"You're here just in time. I'll ask you for advice later, but there's nothing to worry about." Wanli, who was carrying a cat, sat back on the table and signaled Chen Mu to sit opposite him, and asked Wang An to bring refreshments. He asked anxiously: "What did the mother say? I didn't want to be accurate at all before!"

"The Empress Dowager ordered the minister to supervise the military uniforms and armor for His Majesty. The main reason was that the emperor had to control the military power. Maybe the Empress Dowager himself had no big objection to this matter, but the Empress Dowager also asked me to convey a sentence to His Majesty."

Chen Mu knew in his heart how much the little emperor wanted to rule, and said, "The Empress Dowager said: The emperor can go to court or rule, but he has to ask the cabinet master for all major national affairs."

"Ask the Master?"

The little emperor's expression bloomed in a very vivid state. Finally, he almost had his eyes on him. His hands suddenly gathered together and clapped and smiled, "I must ask the teacher for everything!"

"Ah... there are two years left, two years!"

After pondering about this several times, the little emperor stretched his waist and complained, as if he was so exhausted, and said, "Do you know Chen Qing? I have worked so hard these days!"

"I get up before dawn and go to court. I don't go down until noon. I have not had a long rest. I have to start reading. I read "The Great Learning" ten times a day and then read "Shangshu" ten times. Fortunately, I used to read "Shangshu" and I was empty until noon. Now I start reading "Shangshu" and it's dark after reading "Shangshu"!"

"After dinner, I have to read "Tongjian" again to read the story of the rise and fall of the previous dynasty. I have no time to read the war report, and I have no time to go to the imperial horse and grass yard to ride horses and fire guns!"

"I can only find some comfort in these servants and girls every day." When Wanli said this, his little hands slowly closed the cat's hair, and he was gentle like an adult. He sighed a long time before he raised his head again: "I heard that Huizhou merchants served the sea ships of the Dongyang Military Palace. Have you collected enough ships of the expedition?"

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Yes, there is not much difference, and the food, salary and supplies are enough. I originally planned to set sail in mid-November, but now Your Majesty is going to hold a big review in Dagu, so the departure date depends on when Your Majesty has time."

"If you have time and time, it is a big deal for the start of the Eastern Military Palace. I don't have to study for at least three days, this is a big deal!"

The unlucky child said, his eyes lit up and said, "Can I board the boat and see it? I can ride a horse on the Tianjin school ground? I heard that you have cannons, can I also fire a few cannons?"

This is not the emperor!

What should you do if you fall into the water on a boat? What should you do if you fall down on a horse? What should you do if you set off a cannon and explode?

Chen Mu felt that there was an oversized shit basin that wanted to buckle him on his head and he wanted to avoid him no matter what he said.

"I'm afraid that the old master will have an idea at that time."

The little emperor held up his shit basin with firm eyes and threw it again: "But the teacher has met his father's mourning recently. Can the teacher still attend such a grand ceremony? I'm afraid he can't come up with an idea!"

"Then I have to ask the Queen Mother to make the decision."

"Don't, I won't be able to ride a horse and firecrackers? My mother always provokes my relationship with King Lu. We brothers are on a blind date. She always says she wants King Lu to succeed the throne. Humph, my younger brother will never want to drive me away. It's all her thoughts." The little emperor was confident and finally asked in a low voice: "Then I can get on the boat. I'll let this Dayue Navy watch at Dagukou? This is not possible!"

"The ship is named after my year name. Wouldn't I let me go up and take a look? Dayue fired guns and firecrackers, which disturbed my mother's Queen's Holy Vehicle. At that time, my mother stayed in the capital and I took King Lu. Then you will also get on the ship and look at us by my side. No problem will be caused!"

The little emperor and King Lu have a good relationship. They don’t forget their younger brother in this way. But King Lu is only nine years old, what can he understand? It is obvious that he treats Chen Mu as his dad.

"If Your Majesty has agreed to board the ship by himself, and if Your Majesty has to bring Prince Lu with him, this is really not something that I can decide. I am afraid I will still have to ask about the Queen Mother."

Xiao Wanli waved his hand a little annoyed and said, "Forget it, it's not okay to let it go, so let's talk about it later. Anyway, Jing Haiwang will not change when he goes back. I will ask others again."

"By the way, there is another thing, military, you have to solve my doubts."

Wanli turned around a little depressedly, searched on the table, and asked Chen Mu with a battle report, "Nanyang, Eastern, Western, Beiyang, how many Jurchen soldiers do you have under your command?"

Chen Mu's question was stunned.

"Juchen soldiers? This minister has never calculated it. There are Jurchen soldiers under his command, such as Li Rubai, Li Ruzhang and Ma Gui, about 3,000?"

"Three thousand."

Wanli nodded slowly and then asked, "Then why did General Li of Liaodong unable to drive away all the Jurchen soldiers who were in chaos and chaotic again and again become soldiers with strict orders when they arrived at Jinghai Bo?"

"Your Majesty, this is different. The Jurchen soldiers I recruited were all poor hunters between the Black Mountain and the White Water. Even if I recruited the entire tribe, the entire tribe was only dozens of people in one family, like the chief of the large tribe, and there was no one under my command; General Li of Liaodong was a large tribe with soldiers and generals, and he was rebellious, surrendering and rebelling. This has always been the problem of the Ming Dynasty."

"I think the main problem is that the court cannot regard Jianzhou as its own people. People do not worry about the number of people but are uneven. They favor one and the other, which will naturally cause the tribes to rebel again. However, the court cannot regard it as a confidant without engaging in a large-scale conquest war. Otherwise, no one can tell whether it is to lead a wolf into the house. There are many such stories in all dynasties."

"But now, Yamelica overseas is one of the possible solutions to this problem. Perhaps in the future, the imperial court can move Jurchens and Mongolia to Yamelica on a large scale. As a barrier of the imperial court, when their natural conflicts with the imperial court disappear, it will be easier to integrate."
