"We got the money, solved the Japanese problem, and stabilized the route to Huangjinzhou. This stop is worth it. Liu Jin is a son of an expert and has a far-sighted vision."

"With Ishimi, we also rented Hyogojin and stationed troops here. From now on, the Japanese country will be able to live in peace, and we, the east of the Ming Dynasty, will have no troubles from now on."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the map and towards the east of the Ming Dynasty, with a smile on his face.

Putting aside the so-called benevolence and morality, the exchanges between countries must be based on interests. Things that are in line with the interests of Ming Dynasty should be done more, and things that harm the interests of Ming Dynasty should not be done.

If we consider the affairs of the suzerain and vassal states and do not use force against the Japanese, where will the money come from and how can we eliminate the Japanese troubles?

"Liu Jin is right. There are only eternal interests between countries, and everything else is false."

Emperor Hongzhi remembered Liu Jin's words and immediately smiled.

"Next is the grassland in the north. Although the little Tatar prince is dead, the Tatars have been severely damaged. Now they are taking the opportunity to unify the grassland."

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi turned his attention to the vast grasslands in the north.

According to the latest news, the Oara army marched eastward and swept across the entire grassland, from the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains to the Greater Khingan Mountains in the east. In the northeastern region, wherever the Oara army passed, the tribes on the grasslands surrendered.

The areas and tribes that were originally ruled by the little Tatar prince have now been basically conquered by the Oara army. The Tatars were destroyed, but Emperor Hongzhi was not happy.

Because the northern grasslands have been unified, once the grassland people are unified, another Mongol Empire may be born. There is no doubt that the Oara army that unified the northern grasslands will soon go south again with the intention of settling in the Central Plains.

This is the biggest headache for Emperor Hongzhi now.

At first, he killed the little prince and suffered heavy losses to the Tatar tribes. Unexpectedly, he ended up taking advantage of Oara, allowing Oara to unify the northern grasslands.

Although the northern border is still quiet now, Emperor Hongzhi can already feel that the eyes of the northern prairie wolves are looking south.
