Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 276 Is Wuzheng Mobei a military force?
"It would be great if I didn't find out that you are a time traveler that day." Zhu Di leaned on the bricks at the gate tower, watching a faint light in the sky gradually light up.

"Since I knew about that, I have never dared to face my eldest brother, and my father has become more and more afraid of me..."

"Whether I have the opportunity to lead the army in the future, I can't say. Even if I have..." He looked at Zhu Su with a dejected expression on his face, "I think I can't compare to you..."

"Can't compare to me?" Zhu Su was stunned.

"Not bad." Zhu Di nodded emphatically. "Although I am familiar with military books...but after I arrived in Suzhou City, I realized that all the things I know are just empty talk on paper."

"You set up lanterns to pay homage to the people, and you broke the hearts of the people of Suzhou from Mrs. Zhang back to Mrs. Zhu. You also used a mere song 'Lime Song' to inspire the hearts of the whole city... In fact, by this time, Suzhou was already in an invincible position." .”

"I didn't expect that you would plan to wipe out the enemy army...I, I usually claim to be the best soldier among my brothers, but I only think about how to defend the city...Compared with you, It's far away." Speaking of this, Zhu Di was ashamed.

Zhu Su suddenly realized that because Zhu Di knew about "Jing Nan", he had a demon in his heart, worried that Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao would regard him as a traitor, so he became cautious and did not dare to slack off for a day.

And because I came to Suzhou City, I found that the "military strategy" I was most proud of on weekdays was completely useless, so my confidence was hit...

"Fourth brother, cheer up." Zhu Su put his arms around Zhu Di's shoulders. "Actually, those thieves are not worth mentioning. Compared with the great battles you fought in history, which of the mobs outside the city is worthy of the sun?"

"I just relied on the way of foresight, and I also know the value of the people's hearts, and understand those mobs. As long as the people's hearts are there, I will definitely win and never lose... As for thinking about wiping out the thieves, it is because our thinking is different."

"What's the difference?" Zhu Di was aroused curiosity.

"Because I know that war is not just war, war is the continuation of politics!" Zhu Su said.

"War...is the continuation of politics?" Zhu Di frowned. He felt that something flashed through his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he was in a haze, as if there was nothing.

"Yes. This is a theory of later generations: the initiation and existence of war should serve a certain political goal." Zhu Su explained.

"Fourth brother, let me ask you, from ancient times to the present, why some warring countries have become more prosperous and powerful, such as Qin destroying the six countries; while some wars are considered militaristic, such as Sui destroying Goguryeo?"

"That's not easy." Zhu Di waved his hand. "Qin's defeat of the Six Kingdoms was a victory, and Sui's defeat of Goguryeo was a defeat. How do you compare..."

"No." Zhu Su shook his head, "The Battle of Linyi during the Sui Dynasty, Fourth Brother knows, right?"

"In your eyes, fourth brother, was the Sui attack on Linyi a victory or a defeat?"

"The Sui attack on Linyi?" Zhu Di thought for a moment. "If it is said that it is the three conquests of Goguryeo, it must be a loser. But in the battle of Sui's attack on Linyi, the Sui army was invincible. They defeated the enemy and broke the city. It should be considered a victory..."

"Since it was victorious, why is the Sui's attack on Linyi still considered by later generations to be militarism?" Zhu Su followed in a persuasive manner. "Although the enemy was defeated and the city was defeated, the battle was invincible... However, the Sui Dynasty dispatched more than [-] infantry and cavalry, and the consumption of food and grass was incalculable. After defeating Linyi, they immediately withdrew their troops... After the Sui army withdrew, the Linyi royal family returned. Occupied and returned to the old place."

"On the other hand, in the Sui Dynasty, money and food were wasted, not to mention an inch of land and wealth, and when the army returned home, five or six out of ten were lost due to the plague... There is no benefit at all, how can it be called victory?"

"But at least it has raised the prestige of the Celestial Dynasty..." Zhu Di was a little unconvinced.

"It's true, but this time, it was paid for by food, grass, soldiers, and soldiers' lives. It did damage the vitality of the Sui Dynasty." Zhu Su opened his left hand and then opened his right hand: "Why, why? If I can’t benefit and win, I want them all?”

"Profits, victories, all of them?" Zhu Di was thoughtful.

"For example, this time the thieves attacked the city... We have already discovered the internal response in the city, and it is actually easy to defeat them." Zhu Su continued to explain. "But even if they are defeated, what good will it do? The thieves scattered and looted the common people, and then came back the next year..."

"The common people suffer, but we, Daming, are not the ones who are in trouble? If that's the case..."

"Since this is the case, it is better to find a way to set up an ambush to wipe them out. While saving the people, it can also let the Zhang family destroy their reputation, and they can also kill chickens and monkeys so that other Japanese pirates dare not come..." Zhu Di finally understood. There was a light in his eyes, and he opened his palms like Zhu Su, and then grabbed them hard:
"Since victory can be guaranteed, then consider how to maximize the benefits. This is the so-called victory and benefits. I want them all..."

"That's right, whether you've got enough benefits is the best way to judge whether it's militarism." Zhu Su said with a smile. "Fourth brother, it's not that you are inferior to me in military strategy, but you just haven't thought about it."

"As long as you think of this level, you can naturally think of those methods."

"Not bad!" Zhu Di's eyes were still shining. "I want them all... Lao Wu, I just learned today, this is the real way of battle formation!"

"Oh, I just don't know if Dad will give me a chance to lead the army in the future..."

"Wuzheng Mobei, this is a rare achievement in the past..."

"I really want to experience it myself!" Zhu Di showed yearning.

Seeing Zhu Laosi's expression, Zhu Su knew that Zhu Di's confidence had been regained.It's just that in his heart, he is still worried that if he really leads the army in the future, it will arouse the fear of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

Still have to find a way to arouse the pride hidden in the chest of the Emperor Yongle.

"Tch, what is Wuzheng Mobei? You're so yearning for it?" Having made up his mind, Zhu Su put on a disdainful look on purpose. "Fourth brother, your vision is still a little narrow. Your five conquests of Mobei also wasted a lot of people's fat and people's anointing... Many people in later generations will criticize you. Your five conquests of Mobei do more harm than good, and waste people's money!"

"If it weren't for your fat son Zhu Gaochi to stabilize people's livelihood for you, there would be no Emperor Yongle..."

"What?" Zhu Di was still immersed in the heroic fantasies of being a wolf and living in Xuxu in the future. He was so angry that his eyes glared and his neck thickened: "Wuzheng Mobei... is it a military campaign?"

"Which bastard's descendants said it? See if I don't kill his ancestors first!"

"There are too many people who say that." Zhu Su rolled his eyes. "Besides, in this vast sea of ​​people, you can't find out who their ancestors are. Can you still beat all these tens of thousands of Ming people?"

"Then...then they can't say that." Zhu Di froze for a moment, a little embarrassed. "Wuzheng Mobei promotes the prestige of our country, is it the only one among the emperors? Counting and counting, it is the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Old man, tell me, which emperor in future generations can fight such a proud battle?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, he has compared himself to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and this Zhu Laosi is really thick-skinned, Zhu Su secretly rolled his eyes.

It seems that this guy, on weekdays, is often shy about his future martial arts in private.

After thinking about it, Zhu Su rolled his eyes and decided to set a grand and rough goal for Zhu Laosi:

"Although there are no future generations, there are still future generations!"

"Fourth brother, do you know the legendary King of the Macedonian Empire, Alexander the Great?"
