When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 27 If you can have such a weapon, why worry about winning the war?
[This northern expedition greatly enhanced the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, weakened the originally strong Tatar forces, and allowed the two major forces on the grassland to achieve a relative balance. 】

[But as the saying goes, soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. As the leader of Oara, Mahamu naturally intends to annex the Tatar territory. 】

[In the tenth year of Yongle, as Arutai's power on the grassland gradually grew, Mahamu's greed also grew.He reported to the Ming Dynasty, requesting to send troops to destroy Arutai, and also hoped that the Ming Dynasty could provide him with weapons, food and other support. 】

[At the same time, Mahamu re-established his own puppet Khan on the grassland, using this name to attack the Tatars. 】

[With the continuous conflicts, the struggle intensified, and Wala became more and more arrogant. In order to maintain the balance of power on the grassland, in the 11th year of Yongle, Tatar was canonized as King Hening, and began to receive support from the court to fight against Wala. 】

[In the 11th year of Yongle, Wala claimed that Arutai intended to rebel, and asked the court for Gansu and other places. At the same time, he sent troops to occupy the Yinma River, claiming to attack Arutai, but in fact he had evil intentions on the border of the Ming Dynasty. 】

Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Zhu Di didn't care at all. He had clearly seen Wala's intentions back then, but what threat could a mere barbarian country pose?He doesn't deserve it!
[Zhu Di became increasingly dissatisfied with Wala's more and more small actions. In February of the 12th year of Yongle, Zhu Di took the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji from Peiping to the north again, but with a different goal. 】

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang felt quite bored: This little barbarian didn't know the heights of the world and dared to challenge the Central Plains. He was not strong enough but had a lot of tricks.

Regardless of Zhu Di, at least he still played by himself when fighting against the Tatars, which was enough to give him face.

When I arrived at Wala, my face was like a grandson. It was obviously an eye-opener for my descendants to practice their skills!This is enough to show that there is no threat in Zhu Di's eyes. If so, can his grandson go with him?

He laughed and said: "Without knowing the enemy or ourselves, knowing no sense of propriety, and lacking in ability and ambition, this Wala will definitely suffer a lot."
-
Han Dynasty, the first year of Yuan Shuo.

Liu Che didn't care about what he was fighting and how he was fighting. What he saw was his own way of running the Western Regions in the future. He would hit anyone who disobeyed and maintain the balance of power on the grassland. One family should not be dominant. This would be enough to make them fight among themselves. more than!

[In April, the Ming army arrived at Tunyun Valley. They did not encounter a single battle along the way. Every small force they passed were vying to surrender. 】

[In June, when he was about to enter the Wala territory, he finally encountered a small spying force. Zhu Di judged that there was a main force in the rear, and immediately ordered an ambush. The main force was from the Shenji Battalion. 】

[Then the Wala troops came as expected. Zhu Di ordered the people from the Shenji Battalion to block the road and fire continuously. Mahamu's troops lost thousands of people before they even encountered the Ming army.]

[The troops were divided into small groups and were surrounded by Ming legions. Finally, Zhu Di personally led the black armored cavalry to charge. Mahamu was defeated and fled in a hurry.]

[This Northern Expedition restored the balance of power on the grasslands and at the same time maintained the stability of the imperial border for decades. 】

People of all dynasties were not surprised by the victory of the Ming army. They just wanted to see if there were any good methods and strategies. Now it seems that although there are none, they have discovered something better-the Shenji Camp!

At first, I only saw his power, but now I intuitively feel his role on the battlefield, standing in the middle and directly dividing the opponent's camp.

It even caused injuries to more than a thousand people ten miles away. Although it was related to the dense distribution of people on the battlefield, his power was fully affirmed.

If we can have such a weapon, why worry about winning the war?Unifying the world and conquering overseas is just around the corner!

Ministry of Works: "How talented you are! One day is not enough, even the gods can't do it!" Be careful. 】

[In the 20th year of Yongle, Zhu Di was already over [-] years old. Although his body was failing, his heart remained unchanged. He was even more ruthless and more steady in his treatment of his enemies. 】

[Zhu Di decided to go on another expedition to the north. Unexpectedly, many senior Tatar generals were psychologically affected by the last expedition]

[When he learned that Zhu Di was going on another personal expedition, he actually ran away overnight. Zhu Di was a little depressed when he couldn't find anyone. He defeated some dishonest tribes along the way and began to return to the court with his troops. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di with some dissatisfaction: "The Northern Expedition was never to show off the Ming Dynasty's army, but to eliminate the remaining Yuan forces and stabilize the border! What role did your Northern Expedition play? It was a waste of the Ming Dynasty's national power!
Besides, you are already sixty, and you still want to fight in person?Have you forgotten the example of Qin Shihuang?After his death, the situation completely collapsed. Do you also want me, Daming, to be next? "
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

When all the ministers saw that Zhu Di was still going to fight in person at such an advanced age, they couldn't help feeling a little lucky. Fortunately, their emperor was obedient. Although he always wanted to do it himself, he always listened to the advice.

What they don't know at this moment is that according to the original historical process, Li Shimin will still hold the sword of his youth again in his later years.

[In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di made another northern expedition. Arutai was too annoying and kept harassing the frontiers. Unfortunately, no trace of Arutai was found in the end. On the way back to the court, Zhu Di died of illness. 】

[The legendary life of a horse king has come to an end. 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were already kneeling on the ground and choked up: "Father! Grandpa!" It was just a joy and a funeral, but they fought until the last moment and still failed to achieve their goal, and they didn't even get to see each other for the last time!

Zhu Gaochi didn't understand at all what he would do in the future. His father was so old that he didn't stop him. He was really not a son of a man!

Zhu Zhanji was also full of tears. He had a deep relationship with his grandfather since he was a child. Now he can hardly control himself when he sees his grandfather passing away!
Zhu Di looked at the sad father and son below and couldn't help but feel a headache. He had six years of good life!It's not like he will die soon. He is crying. Although he has a headache, he is also very happy that his relatives care about him.

[Zhu Di made five expeditions to the north in his life, but he made basically no achievements in the last three. 】

[However, his Northern Expedition played an important role in maintaining Mongolia’s internal balance for hundreds of years, further increasing its divisions and preventing it from threatening the Ming Dynasty. 】

[He inherited Zhu Yuanzhang’s decisiveness in killing, but he also had his own unique views. He won nearly 200 years of recuperation time for the Ming Dynasty. 】

[Although Zhu Di died away from home, he had made plans in advance, the court was stable, and there was no situation like the First Emperor. 】
-
Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: What do you mean by consequences like mine?What are the consequences for me in the future?What if Zhu Di passes away? Does that mean I will go on an expedition in the future?And then died?
It seems that the longevity medicine really has no chance, but even so, what are the serious consequences?Zhu Di's government is stable, does that mean he is unstable?
Qin Shihuang began to chuckle. It seemed that someone couldn't hold it any longer. Who could it be? There might not be enough people!

[It is said that although there was no turmoil after Zhu Di's death, there were still quite a few problems regarding his administration and successor. 】
