Chapter 276: Will the Five Expeditions to Mobei be a militancy?
"It would have been nice if that month hadn't discovered that I was a time traveler." Zhu Di leaned on the city bricks at the tower and watched a faint light gradually light up on the horizon.
"After Shi knew that, he never dared to face his eldest brother, and his father became more and more wary of him..."
"Whether he will have the opportunity to lead the army in the next month is hard to say. Even if he does..." He looked at Zhu Su with a dejected look on his face, "He feels that he is better than me..."
"Compared to him?" Zhu Su was stunned.
"That's right." Zhu Di nodded heavily. "Although he was familiar with the art of war... But after arriving in Suzhou City, he realized that all the things he knew were nothing but mere talk about military affairs."
"I put up lanterns to commemorate the people, and broke the hearts of the people of Suzhou from the Zhang family back to the Zhu family. I also inspired the hearts of the whole city with a mere 'lime chant'... In fact, by that time, Suzhou was already in an invincible position.
Already."
"I didn't expect that I had already planned to annihilate the enemy army... He, he usually boasts that he is the most knowledgeable among the brothers, but he only thinks about how to defend the city... Compared with me,
Very far apart." When he said that, Zhu Di's face was full of shame.
Zhu Su suddenly realized that because Zhu Difou knew about the "Jingnan" incident, he had inner demons in his heart. He was worried that Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao would treat him as a traitor, so he became cautious and did not dare to slack off for a month.
And because when he came to Suzhou City, he found that the "strategy" that he was most proud of in Pingyue was completely useless, so his confidence was hit...
"Fourth brother, let me cheer up." Zhu Su hugged Zhu Di's shoulders. "Actually, those thieves are not worth mentioning at all. Compared with the big battles I fought in history, the mob outside the city is nothing.
Is one worthy enough?"
"He has relied on the path of foresight and foresight, and he also knows the value of the people's hearts. If he understands the mob, he will be victorious if he relies on the people's hearts... As for thinking about annihilating all the thieves, is it because of their way of thinking?
different."
"What's the different idea?" Zhu Di's curiosity was aroused.
"Because he knows that war is not just about war, but war is about the continuation of politics!" Zhu Su said.
"War...is it the continuation of politics?" Zhu Di frowned. He felt like something flashed through his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, it was all blurry, as if there was nothing at all.
"No. That is a theory of later generations: whether the initiation and existence of war should serve a certain political goal." Zhu Su explained.
"Fourth brother, he asked me, from ancient times to the Ming Dynasty, why did some wars make countries more prosperous and powerful as they fought, such as the Qin Dynasty that destroyed the Six Kingdoms; while some wars were considered to be militaristic, such as the Sui Dynasty that destroyed Goguryeo?"
"That's not easy." Zhu Di waved his legs. "Whether the Qin Dynasty can win the battle by destroying the six kingdoms, or whether the Sui Dynasty can defeat Goguryeo, how do they compare..."
"No." Zhu Su shook his head, "Does Fourth Brother know about the Battle of Linyi during the Sui Dynasty?"
"In my opinion, Fourth Brother, will the Sui Dynasty attack Linyi be a victory or a defeat?"
"The battle of the Sui Dynasty to attack Linyi?" Zhu Di thought for a while. "If it is said that there are three expeditions to Goguryeo, it will definitely be a failure. But in the battle of the Sui Dynasty to attack Linyi, the Sui army was invincible and defeated the enemy and destroyed the city, so it should be counted as a negative
Wins... right?"
"Since it was impossible to win, why was the Sui Dynasty's attack on Linyi still regarded as a militancy by later generations?" Zhu Su was good at tempting. "Although the enemy was defeated and the city was defeated, the battle was invincible... Could it be that the Sui Dynasty sent out troops?
There were more than 10,000 horsemen, and they consumed countless amounts of food and fodder. After attacking the eastern Linyi area, they immediately withdrew their troops... After the Sui army withdrew, the Linyi royal family occupied its old territory again."
"On the other hand, the Sui Dynasty spent money and food, not to mention not gaining an inch of land and wealth. When the army returned, it was very easy to lose 50-60% due to the plague... How could it be said that it was a victory without any benefit at all?"
"But at least it has enhanced the prestige of the Celestial Empire..." Zhu Di was a little unconvinced.
"It is true, but in that show of power, the food, grass and soldiers were not used, and the lives of the soldiers were exchanged. It did damage the vitality of the Sui Dynasty." Zhu Su opened his left leg and then his right leg: "Why?
, shouldn’t he ask for all the benefits and victory?”
"Profits and victory, do you want them all?" Zhu Di thought thoughtfully.
"For example, when the thieves attacked the city... they had already discovered the enemies inside and outside the city, so it was easy to defeat them." Zhu Su continued to explain. "But even if they were defeated, what would be the benefit? The thieves scattered and plundered.
After the common people came back the next year..."
"The people are suffering, and the trouble is as big as the Ming Dynasty? In this case..."
"In this case, it is better to find a way to set up an ambush in the east and annihilate them all. While saving the people, the Zhang family will also destroy their own reputation. It will probably kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, so that other Japanese pirates will not dare to invade..." Zhu Di finally understood,
His eyes flashed brightly, and he followed Zhu Su's example and opened his palms, then grabbed them hard:
"Since victory can be guaranteed, then let's consider how to maximize the benefits. Then he wants all the so-called victory and benefits..."
"That's right, if you have captured enough benefits, then you can judge whether it is the best way to go militarily." Zhu Su said with a smile. "Fourth brother, I am not as good as him in military strategy and learning, so I didn't think about that.
It’s just a layer.”
"As long as I think of that level, I can naturally think of those methods."
"That's right!" Zhu Di's eyes were still shining. "He asked for everything... Lao Wu, only if he Mingyue has learned it, can he truly learn the method of fighting formations!"
"Oh, I wonder if my father will give him the opportunity to lead the army..."
"Five expeditions to Mobei, can that be a rare achievement in the past and the present..."
"I really want to experience it myself!" Zhu Di looked forward to it.
Looking at Zhu Laosi's expression, Zhu Su knew that Zhu Di's confidence had been regained. But in his heart, Yi Qunqin was worried that if Yue Wangwang really led the army, it would arouse the fear of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.
We have to find a way to arouse the pride hidden in the heart of Emperor Yongle.
"Hey, what's the Five Expeditions to Mobei? I'm so yearning for it?" Having made up his mind, Zhu Su deliberately put on a look of disdain. "Fourth Brother, my vision is a little narrower. My Five Expeditions to Mobei is a bit narrow.
We also wasted a lot of people's sacrifice and sacrifice... Later generations also criticized me. My five expeditions to Mobei did more harm than good, wasting people and money!"
"Please don't ask my fat son Zhu Gaochi to stabilize people's livelihood for me. How can there be such a thing as Emperor Yongle..."
"What?" Zhu Di was already immersed in the heroic fantasy of being a wolf and living in Xu after the month. He was so angry at those words that his eyes widened and his neck thickened: "Five expeditions to Mobei...are you going to resort to force?"
"Which descendant of that bastard said that? Let's see if he doesn't kill his ancestors first!"
"So there are a lot of people saying that." Zhu Su rolled his red eyes. "Besides, in the vast sea of people, I can't find anyone who can deny their ancestors. I can easily bring all the tens of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty.
Can’t you fight it all over again?”
"Then...then they can't say that." Zhu Di paused for a moment, a little embarrassed. "The five expeditions to Mobei to promote the prestige of his country are unique among the emperors, right? After counting, that's it.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty..."
"Lao Wu, let me tell you, which emperor in future generations can fight in such a proud and proud manner?"
At that time, he actually compared himself to the Wu Tang Sect of Han Dynasty, and Zhu Laosi was really thick-skinned. Zhu Su secretly rolled his eyes red.
It seems that that guy has been secretly worried about his future martial arts.
After thinking about it, Zhu Su rolled his eyes and decided to set an ambitious goal for Zhu Laosi:
"Although there will be no future generations, there is still a bright future ahead!"
"Fourth brother, do I know the legendary king of the Macedonian Empire, Alexander the Great?"
