What attracted Eqirtu and others the most were the murals, where they watched the Ming army galloping across Liaodong, watching the Ming army kill captives and rescue the Han people, especially Gaizhou, which had not yet been opened to the outside world. The murals of the battle, when they saw the Ming army leaving the city to fight in the field, and forming a military formation in front of it, with numerous casualties among the captives but no casualties on their own side, they were shocked again.

The chief of the Bart tribe had told them about the battle situation in advance. Now seeing it is believing, almost like seeing the battle with his own eyes. This intuitive impression is even more profound. Even the field battles that Jianlu was best at were completely defeated. From this, one can imagine how powerful this new army is!

"I have decided!" Eqirtu suddenly clapped his hands and announced excitedly in front of the mural.

Others were almost startled by what he did. Some people asked him about the situation, but he smiled and didn't answer, just looking at the mural.

The next day, these Mongolian envoys finally had an audience with the Ming Emperor. The majesty of the Forbidden City allowed them to once again see what the Celestial Kingdom is. Under the watchful eye of the civil and military officials, Eqiltu changed his mentality when he first arrived in the capital. He no longer felt that he was at a loss by taking the initiative to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. After the ceremony, he behaved and behaved quietly. , extremely pious.

Although the civil and military officials had known in advance that these western Mongolian tribes were coming to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, they never expected that the former Wasi and the current envoys from the Oirat tribes would have such a good attitude, as if they had obeyed the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts. This surprised many of them, and vaguely, at this moment, they also felt a sense of pride.

Look, the Ming Dynasty is still the kingdom of heaven, and the Ming Dynasty is still very powerful!

As everyone knows, the reason for this result is the result of the souls from later generations who have been working hard, constantly taking advantage of the situation, utilizing existing resources, achieving maximum utilization, etc., so that these envoys from Western Mongolia became obedient!

If it hadn't been for him, the Ming Dynasty would have been in turmoil at this time. The people the Western Mongolian envoys wanted to pay tribute to were not the Ming Dynasty, but Jianlu.

After a set of ceremonies, no one expected that Eqirtu suddenly said to Emperor Chongzhen in a very sincere tone and with the greatest etiquette of the Mongols: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has been paying homage to me in the capital for a long time these days. I know how powerful the Ming army is, and I admire it very much. I have a heartless request, and I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission!"

Many people were stunned when they heard this. Especially the officials of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty were even more angry. You, a young man who is ignorant and miscellaneous, actually made an unkind request in front of the emperor. What do you mean? Can't you let him know in advance?

What he didn't know was that Oqirtu was afraid that he would be rejected if he communicated in advance, so he made up his mind to make his request on this occasion when the emperor could not refuse.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't feel awkward at all after hearing this. He smiled slightly and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

He didn't seem to hear the unmerciful request Eqirtu said. In fact, in other words, his request might be a bit unreasonable!

Wen Tiren, the first assistant, stood there with Eqirtu on his back, winking at Emperor Chongzhen and sending out secret signals, but was ignored by Emperor Chongzhen.

When Eqirtu saw that the emperor had spoken, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he quickly and respectfully said: "Dear Your Majesty, the foreign minister really wants to visit the lower capital camp, especially the training of the new army, and wants to see what the Ming Dynasty's powerful army is like. of?"

Generally speaking, when China was strong, neighboring vassal states would send people to study in China, such as in the Tang Dynasty, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and so on. But at that time, most of the people who came to China to study abroad were to learn Chinese etiquette, culture, political system, etc. Regarding this, the Chinese actually welcome it, allowing Chinese culture to profoundly influence other countries, showing the strength of the country!

But for the military, it's different. In this feudal era, things like training troops, leading troops, and fighting wars were all done in secret. Even if it is within one's own country, it is a valuable asset of the family and will not be passed on to others. Because of this, there is a family of military commanders.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as various military books, but these are just theories after all, which are somewhat different from reality, and this is not the mainstream after all.

Many ministers in the palace were surprised at first and then angry after hearing Eqirtu's undue request. Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not wait for the emperor to speak. He stepped out of the queue and shouted: "Didn't Gushi Khan teach you? How can the barracks allow others to peek..."

Eqirtu looked a little ugly after being punished. When the other Mongolian envoys saw it, they were gloating in their hearts. Look, Gushi Khan's nephew, haha, has he made a fool of himself? How could Ming Guo agree to such a request?

Oqiltu himself also knows the difference between right and wrong, but he is worried that Oirat Mongolia is not strong enough now. Not to mention the threat of the newly rising Tsarist Russia, it is the old rival Khalkha Mongolia. In the past few decades, the Oirat Mongols also ruled and enslaved them. He was the one who was going to succeed Gushi Khan. Therefore, he was also worried about the future of the Oirat tribe. Seeing that the new army of the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, he wondered if he could peek at some training methods to see if they could be used. On the soldiers and horses of Heshuote Department.

Really having this idea, he didn't care, thinking that in such a scene, he could force the Ming Emperor to agree to his request. Therefore, he listened quietly to Shen Yongmao's scolding, not daring to offend him, and was ready to wait until Shen Yongmao finished speaking before he begged the Ming Emperor again. Anyway, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he wants to fight for it.

What he didn't expect was that before Shen Yongmao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen, who smiled at Shen Yongmao and said, "Shen Qing is worrying too much. I admire him very much because he is so eager to learn." , since you want to visit, then just visit, you won’t miss anything!”

Having said this, he turned to look at the row of generals, named Zu Dashou, who was temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, and Xi Mao Yuanyi, the chief instructor of the new army, and ordered them: "Two beloved ministers, please take him to see anything he wants to see." You can visit all the places to satisfy young people’s eagerness to learn!”

"..." Many civil and military officials were speechless. They wanted to stop him, but the emperor's eloquent words were still in front of outsiders. They could not argue with the emperor, lest others laugh and undermine the emperor's authority, so they had no choice but to obey the emperor's wishes.

Oqirtu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly used the most noble Mongolian etiquette to express his gratitude again. The other Mongolian envoys never expected that Oqirtu's request would be agreed to. They were all jealous and asked to visit one after another, and all of them were agreed.

Suddenly, these people felt that they had taken a huge advantage!
