In the first year of Wanli, nothing major happened in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng steadily promoted his personnel reform. After Feng Bao's death, the palace was peaceful. Empress Dowager Li began to believe in Buddhism, and the eunuchs were busy. 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 to Chen Ju, who was in charge of the military battles, and it was just right for Yu Dayou to go there. As an experienced general, Yu Dayou naturally had a very good understanding of military weapons.

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

In the second year of Wanli, Lin Feng, a pirate on the southeast coast, invaded the inland land and was defeated by Yin Zhengmao, the Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The situation in Guangdong and Guangxi was stable, but Lin Feng did not stop. He drove from Taiwan to the Philippines, uniting local Chinese and indigenous people to drive out the Spanish colonists. The fleet sailed for two days, reached the Luzon border, and immediately captured Miyan. The Spanish defender Sashilo fled in a boat, and the fleet advanced to Manila.

The soldiers were very fast, and Lin Feng ordered the vanguard to lead 700 elite soldiers to attack Manila at night. Unexpectedly, the weather suddenly changed at night, with wind and rain, huge waves like mountains, half of the ship sank, and more than 200 people were lost. At the same time, it was difficult to sail, so it missed the location. When it was dawn, it was already dawn and the Spaniards were ready.

The vanguard troops fought bravely against their fatigue, attacked the Spanish commander-in-chief and killed the commander-in-chief Gao Di, and many Spanish surrendered.

In October of the second year of Wanli, the leader of the Jurchens of Jianzhou, Wang Gao, launched a large-scale invasion. Liaodong Governor Zhang Xueyan and general Li Chengliang ordered generals to distribute the fortress and send troops to siege from all sides. Wang Gao was defeated, and his subordinates fled to the camp where Wang Gao lived.

The village is in a high ground, and the situation is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Wang Gao is strong in deep grooves and strong in order to strengthen himself.

Li Chengliang attacked him with firearms, broke several gates, and led generals such as Yu Zhiwen to risk his life to climb up the high ground to attack. Wang Gao could not support him, so he fled to the high platform and shot Yu Zhiwen. At this time, a strong wind happened, and the Ming army set fire to Wang Gao's camp, killed more than 1,100 people, and destroyed his camp.

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

The colonists had entered the east, they had gained a foothold in Manila, and the Ming Dynasty's fleet was still missing. In the north of the empire, the Jianzhou Jurchens began to rise. Although Li Chengliang and others suppressed them, it would be more and more troublesome.

With the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Mongolian on the grasslands, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty would become unstable.

Zhu Yijun was not worried about their troubles, but Emperor Wanli knew that if he really developed according to history, the Jianzhou Jurchens would become a confidant. They would involve the energy of the Ming Dynasty on the border and consume a lot of food and grass every year, making the already tired Ming Dynasty even more exhausted.

In the autumn of the second year of Wanli, Shanxi Yingzhou, Shuozhou, Shanyin, Mayi, Datong and other counties, and Andong, Zhongtun, Shanyin, Yinhe, Gaoshan and other guards were all reported to disasters.

After a severe drought in Lu Si and other fields under the jurisdiction of Lianghuai River to the east of Gaoyouzhou, southern Zhili, there were storms and rainstorms, and rivers and seas overflowed. More than 1,600 drowned residents, countless livestock, and the warehouses were drifted without any living ground, the people were displaced, and there was no food for hunger. Heavy rains in Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places caused disasters, and the tsunami and river overflowed.

After this incident, Zhu Yijun knew that the earth was restless and the Little Ice Age was coming.

From this time on, the Ming Dynasty became turbulent, and various natural disasters would further devour the life span of the Ming Dynasty. People were displaced. If there was no way to do anything, the fires of the peasant uprising would sooner or later start to set off.

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

Zhang Juzheng, who had completely mastered the court, began a large-scale purge, and officials sent scholars to the officials, and those who were dismissed from office. Zhang Juzheng began to promote his own people on a large scale. The entire Ming Dynasty's officialdom changed the world, and it was the time when he entered the Zhang Juzheng era.

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 Philippines, Lin Feng led his troops to invade and arrived in Zhelin, Jinghai, Jieshi and other places. At the same time, he also arrived in Fujian and looted everywhere based on Taiwan's Wugang. However, Fujian was very strict in attacking pirates at that time, Lin Feng ran into a wall everywhere and had to leave.

Hu Shouren defeated Lin Feng again, and Lin Feng led his troops to Guangdong to invade Chaozhou. At that time, the political participation of Chaozhou, Jin and Zhejiang, Lin Feng himself also saw that the navy in Fujian and Guangxi was very powerful, and he was disheartened and did not make any further preparations for resistance.

So Lin Feng's subordinates Ma Zhishan, Li Cheng and 1,712 people were surrendered, and 668 men and women were taken into custody. Lin Feng knew that since Chinese traditions, he treated the so-called thieves without mercy, fled to the foreign countries alone, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Whether official or private, the Ming Dynasty temporarily withdrew from the colonial struggle in Southeast Asia.

However, the interests of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade were too generous. After Lin Feng, another big pirate on the coast of the Ming Dynasty rose, and this person was Li Dan. Li Dan made a fortune through trade with Japan, and he supported the Japanese Tokugawa Ieyasu to unify the country of Japan.

With the help of the Japanese Pirate Group, Li Dan organized an armed fleet and engaged in international trade with the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in Japan, mainland China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia. In addition, he also engaged in pirate plunder.

Because of his strong sea style, he was nicknamed "Captain China" by Westerners, or Li Dan. The term "Captain" is the name of the Han leader during the Spanish rule of Manila.

These things were all news that Zhu Yijun asked Macau intelligence personnel to collect. Li Dan rose very quickly. Zhu Yijun believes that there will definitely be support from the Southeast wealthy family behind this.

In the fourth year of Wanli, everything in the court was smooth, and everything in the northern border was very stable because of Qi Jiguang.

Dong Huli was completely defeated by Qi Jiguang. Dong Huli went to Qi Jiguang in plain clothes and cried and asked for surrender. Qi Jiguang discussed with his subordinates and decided to accept his surrender. Dong Huli then released the looted people back and vowed not to rebel again. Since then, Dong Huli and Dong Chang'ang will never dare to invade Jimen again.

The Jimen guarded by Qi Jiguang was as solid as a god, and the Northern Barbarians could not invade, so they turned to attack Liaodong. Qi Jiguang led his troops to reinforce and assisted Liaodong garrison Li Chengliang to repel him.

With Qi Jiguang's help, Li Chengliang developed in Liaodong, Jianzhou Jurchens were suppressed, and the northern border of the Ming Dynasty was temporarily stable. However, Zhu Yijun knew that these were temporary.

This year, Zhu Yijun also received news from Macau that the Portuguese established a Catholic diocese in Macau, and it was the beginning of the missionary mission in the Ming Dynasty.
