Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 31 Fourth, we support you! (Please follow up!)
The huge hall was so silent that even a needle could be heard.

Old Zhu Di frowned. He obviously didn't want to believe Ji Boying's words, nor did he intend to believe them. Old Zhu Di had absolute confidence in mopping up Mobei.

This self-confidence comes from the fact that he led the army to set foot in Mobei for the first time in the 23rd year of Hongwu. It has been [-] years since he was invincible and invincible.

But this is the words of a fairy, and he is not easy to refute on the surface.

"To be precise, your next fourth Northern Expedition and fifth Northern Expedition failed to confront Alutai head-on, until you died on the way home from the fifth Northern Expedition."

Emperor Yong Le's last three years can almost be described as a crazy Northern Expedition. He completely disregarded the opposition of his officials and spared no effort of the people. Each time, he led hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer.

In the 20th year of Yongle, the 21st year of Yongle, and the 22nd year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle personally went to the Northern Expedition for three consecutive years. At this time, Emperor Yongle was actually seriously ill.

More importantly, the national finances in the last years of Yongle were no longer sufficient to support the large-scale Northern Expedition in successive years. This is why Xia Yuanji, the Shangshu of the Ministry of household affairs, did not hesitate to anger Zhu Di and desperately tried to persuade him.

Ji Boying said the second sentence.Both Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di fell silent again.

Because if the Northern Expedition did not cause a substantial blow to the grassland ministries, it would be futile, and the price of this futility was the empty consumption of the national treasury.

It is undeniable that the Yongle dynasty was great, and history will never forget the great achievements of Emperor Yongle. However, the pressure on the country's finances brought about by successive conquests during the Yongle period and the intensification of domestic conflicts cannot be ignored.

This prosperous age is the prosperous age of the country, but it is not the prosperous age of the people.

If the successor Emperor Renzong hadn't changed his course, the future of Ming Dynasty would be unpredictable.

Just as Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, said to Zhu Di before his death, Daming could not stand the toss of three generations of heroes.

"The Mongols' army is all cavalry, with high mobility, while our Daming is mostly infantry. If the opponent keeps avoiding the battle, it will be really difficult to find a decisive battle."

Old Zhu spoke quietly.

After all, Zhu Di's army in the Northern Expedition was mainly composed of the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Fifth Army Battalion, and the largest number was the infantry belonging to the Fifth Army Battalion.

During the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu carried out a total of thirteen Northern Expeditions, ranging in scale from large to small.

Of course, Lao Zhu's Northern Expedition was not a personal conquest, but a dispatch of generals. Apart from the first few attempts to wipe out the remnants of Yuan, Lao Zhu had only one requirement for the generals of the Northern Expedition in the future, and that was to preserve their strength and do heavy damage.

Because after several Northern Expeditions, Lao Zhu clearly realized that this group of Mongolian bastards would run away.

Therefore, although Lao Zhu launched a northern expedition every few years, the purpose was to deter Mobei and stabilize the border. The core strategy was adjusted to strictly guard against border towns and attack the enemy close to the fortress.

In this way, although the Ming army could not completely wipe out the Mongolian remnants, Mongolia could not cause major border troubles to the Ming Dynasty.

The best example of strategy is to guard the border with the nine great fortress kings.

"Fourth, according to what my brother said, your two Northern Expeditions in this dynasty have already achieved the goal of deterring the grasslands. It is indeed not appropriate to continue the Northern Expedition. What's more, the Arutai you said was once severely damaged by you. Its cunning may not be inferior to Wang Baobao. I will definitely not confront you again. Instead, I personally led the army to go deep into Mobei. If you are not careful, it is very likely to be countered."

The Arutai mentioned by Old Zhu Di reminded Old Zhu of Wang Baobao whom he admired very much.

After Yuan was destroyed, Wang Baobao led his people to wander around Mobei, hunting wild everywhere.

In addition to the Chinese name of Wang Baobao, this old boy also has the reputation of Wang Paopao. If you want to find him, you can hardly find him, but this old boy will pop up from time to time to bite you.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu dispatched Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, and Lan Yu all at once, intending to destroy Wang Baobao, but the final result was unexpected, the Ming army was defeated, and even Li Wenzhong almost died.

It was also after this that Lao Zhu gave up the idea of ​​completely destroying the remnants of Yuan.

"What the emissary said may not be my end."

Old Zhu Di replied in a calm voice, firmly believing in himself.

The famous Yongle Emperor, the only emperor in history who rebelled against his superiors with a vassal king, never believed in fate. He only believed in himself, and his fate was in his own hands.

In the eyes of old Zhu Di, when he raised his army with only [-] guards, he was able to overthrow Emperor Jianwen, who had an army of millions. He has accomplished such things as changing his fate against the sky, what else in the world cannot be accomplished? !

A mere remnant of yuan is nothing to worry about.

"Ah."

"You can continue the third Northern Expedition, but I advise you, if you fail, give up the last two."

Ji Boying didn't directly deny old Zhu Di, and he couldn't deny it, because as long as old Zhu Di persisted, even if old Zhu opened his mouth, there was a high probability that it would be useless.

After all, this is the Yongle Dynasty, it was the 19th year of Yongle, and more than 20 years have passed since the death of Lao Zhu. The civil servants and generals of the Hongwu Dynasty have all withered, and the personal prestige and authority of Lao Zhu Di have reached their peak.

In the Yongle Dynasty, as long as it was what the old Zhu Di wanted to do, no one could stop him.

Old Zhu Di looked at Lao Zhu, hoping to get permission and support from his father.

"Elder brother is our Great Immortal Master, and the word of elder brother is destiny."

As soon as these words came out, old Zhu Di suddenly felt depressed.

"However, what the descendants of our old Zhu family want is a change of fate against the sky."

Old Zhu laughed loudly, stood up, raised his hand and patted Old Zhu Di on the shoulder.

Thinking back then, he started from a bowl and conquered the huge Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di rebelled and ascended to the throne as a vassal king, which was also the first time in eternity.

Zhu Di wanted to wipe out Mobei, but why did his old Zhu never want to wipe out the grasslands.

Emotionally, the father and son resonate.

"We support your third Northern Expedition, and we also want to see if you can completely wipe out the group of Xiaoxiao on the grassland."

"However, as the immortal master said, if you do not make any achievements in this third Northern Expedition, we hope that you will obey the immortal master's words, stop fighting and become martial arts, and live with the people."

This scene seems to be a bit inconsistent.

A middle-aged man patted the shoulder of an octogenarian and gave encouragement. The octogenarian's eyes were excited and his eyes were red.

Old Zhu Di stood up, took two steps back, and knelt down towards Old Zhu.

"My son, please follow my father's order!"

Ji Boying watched the whole process and didn't say anything more.

He planned to go with old Zhu Di during the third Northern Expedition, maybe he could change the results of the third Northern Expedition, maybe he could change the state of the Yongle Dynasty.

Even if you can't meet Alutai, you have to kill Xiaoye first to prevent the change of the civil castle in advance.

"Sit down, it's time to talk about business."

Ji Boying tapped the table.

It took a long time to discuss the matter of old Zhu Di's third Northern Expedition.

Ji Boying brought Lao Zhu to the Yongle Dynasty, not to discuss the Northern Expedition, but to answer Lao Zhu's doubts.

Should the prime minister system, which has been passed down for thousands of years, be abolished? !
