In the first year of Wanli, nothing major happened in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng steadily promoted his personnel innovation, and the palace after Feng Bao's death was also very peaceful. Empress Dowager Li began to believe in Buddhism, and the eunuchs were also busy, and they couldn't fight for the time being.

Yu Dayou entered Beijing in August, under the banner of seeing a doctor.

Zhu Yijun found an opportunity to meet Yu Dayou, and then handed Yu Dayou over to Chen Ju, Chen Ju was in charge of the war bureau, and it was just right for Yu Dayou to go there. As an experienced general, Yu Dayou naturally knows a lot about ordnance.

With Yu Dayou helping Chen Ju, there will be no problems over there, and Zhu Yijun is also relieved.

In the second year of Wanli, Lin Feng, a sea thief on the southeast coast, invaded the inland and was defeated by Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Liangguang, the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of Yushi.

The situation between the two provinces was stable, but Lin Feng did not stop, he went from Taiwan to the Philippines to unite the local Chinese and indigenous people to expel the Spanish colonists. The fleet sailed for two days, reached the border of Luzon, and immediately captured Miyan, where the Spanish defender Sashilos fled in a boat, and the fleet marched on to Manila.

The soldiers were very fast, and Lin Feng immediately ordered the vanguard to lead 700 elite soldiers to attack Manila by night. Unexpectedly, the weather changed suddenly at night, the wind and rain were combined, the waves were like mountains, half of the ships were sunk, and more than 200 people were lost.

Despite their fatigue, the vanguard attacked bravely, stormed the headquarters of the Spaniards, killed the commander-in-chief Gaudí, and many of the Spaniards were captured.

In October of the second year of Wanli, Wang Gao, the leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, invaded on a large scale. Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang, the chief military officer, ordered the forts to be distributed and besieged from all sides. Wang Gao's army was defeated, and all the troops fled into the camp where Wang Gao lived.

The village is in the highland, the situation is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wang Gao deep ditch fortified to self-consolidation.

Li Chengliang attacked it with firearms, broke several gates, and led the generals such as Yu Zhiwen to risk death to climb the heights and storm it, Wang Gao could not support it, fled to the high platform, and shot Yu Zhiwen. At this time, when a strong wind arose, the Ming army set fire to Wang Gao's military camp, killing more than 1,100 people and destroying his camp.

One of these two pieces of news was sent by Dongchang's people in Haojiang, and the other was information about the war, and Zhu Yijun felt a little heavy when he saw it.

The colonists had already entered the East, they had established themselves in Manila, and the Ming fleet was nowhere to be seen. In the north of the empire, the Jianzhou Jurchens began to rise, although there were Li Chengliang and others who were suppressed, but it would become more and more troublesome.

With the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens, coupled with Mongolia on the steppe, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty will become restless.

Zhu Yijun was not worried about what chaos they would make, but Emperor Wanli knew that if it really developed according to history, the Jianzhou Jurchens would become a confidant. They will involve the energy of the Ming Dynasty to the border, and consume a large amount of grain and grass every year, making the already tired Ming even more tired.

In the autumn of the second year of Wanli, Yingzhou, Shuozhou, Shanyin, Mayi, Datong County in Shanxi Province and Andong, Zhongtun, Shanyin, Yinhe, Gaoshan and other counties reported disasters.

After the great drought in the Lusi and other fields under the jurisdiction of the two Huai in the east of Gaoyou Prefecture in Nanzhili, there was a violent storm and rain, the river and the sea overflowed, and the houses collapsed more than 10,000 areas, more than 1,600 residents were drowned, countless domestic animals were killed, the warehouses and salt farms were drifting, the people were displaced, and there was no food for hunger. Heavy rain in Xuzhou and Yangzhou was a disaster, and the tsunami overflowed.

After this incident, Zhu Yijun knew that the earth was restless, and the Xiaoice River period came.

From this time on, Daming was in turmoil, and all kinds of natural disasters would further devour Daming's lifespan. The people were displaced, and if nothing was done, sooner or later the fires of the peasant uprising would burn the prairie fires.

In the third year of Wanli, the earth was too peaceful this year, but the court was not peaceful.

Zhang Juzheng, who completely mastered the imperial court, began a large-scale purge, and Zhang Juzheng began to promote his own people on a large scale. The officialdom of the entire Ming Dynasty changed the world, and it was the era of Zhang Juzheng.

The war in Southeast Asia was in full swing, and the battle between Lin Feng and the Spaniards became more and more intense.

After the defeat of the army in the Philippines, Lin Feng, who was alone, led his troops to commit internal crimes, and once reached Zhelin, Jinghai, Jieshi and other places. At the same time, he also arrived in Fujian and other places, and plundered everywhere based on Taiwan's Longgang. But at that time, the Fujian side cracked down on pirates very severely, and Lin Feng ran into walls everywhere and had to leave.

Hu Shouren defeated Lin Feng again, and Lin Feng led his troops to retreat to Guangdong to invade Chaozhou. At that time, Chaozhou's political participation in Jin and Zhejiang, Lin Feng himself also saw that the naval divisions of Fujian and Guangzhou provinces were very strong, and he was cold and discouraged and did not make further preparations for resistance.

So Lin Feng's subordinates Ma Zhishan, Li Cheng and other 1,712 people were recruited, and 668 men and women were contained. Lin Feng knew that the Chinese tradition had no mercy on the so-called thieves, and fled to the ocean alone, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The Ming Dynasty, both official and private, temporarily withdrew from the colonial struggle in Southeast Asia.

It's just that the interests of Daming sea trade are too rich, and after Lin Feng, another big pirate on the coast of Daming has risen, and this person is Li Dan. Li Dan made his fortune through trade with the Wa Kingdom, and he supported Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Wa Kingdom to unify the Wa Kingdom.

With the help of the Japanese pirate group, Li Dan organized an armed fleet to engage in international trade with ships operated by the Netherlands and Britain between Japan, Chinese mainland, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and also engaged in piracy and plunder.

Because of his strong style at sea, he was nicknamed "Captain China" by Westerners, or Jiabidan Li Dan. The word "Captain" is the name given to the leader of the Han Chinese during the Spanish rule in Manila.

These things are all information that Zhu Yijun asked the intelligence officers in Macao to collect, Li Dan rose very quickly, and Zhu Yijun believed that there was definitely the support of the wealthy families in the southeast behind this.

In the fourth year of Wanli, everything was smooth in the imperial court, and everything was very stable in northern Xinjiang because of Qi Jiguang's presence.

Dong Fox was completely subdued by Qi Jiguang, Dong Fox wore plain clothes and ran to Qi Jiguang to cry and ask for surrender, Qi Jiguang decided to accept his surrender after consulting with his subordinates, Dong Fox then put the plundering people back, and swore not to rebel again, since then Dong Fox and Dong Changang no longer dare to invade Jimen.

Qi Jiguang's Jimen was impregnable, and the northern barbarians could not attack it, so they turned to invade Liaodong, and Qi Jiguang led troops to reinforce and assist Li Chengliang, the defender of Liaodong, to repel it.

With Qi Jiguang's help, Li Chengliang developed in Liaodong, the Jianzhou Jurchens were also suppressed, and the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty temporarily stabilized. It's just that Zhu Yijun knows that these are temporary.

In this year, Zhu Yijun also received news from Macao that the Portuguese had established a Catholic district in Macao, which was the beginning of the Ming mission.

Although it stumbled, the Ming Dynasty entered the fifth year of Wanli, a year destined to be remembered by history.
