The great hall is so silent that even a needle can be heard.

Lao Zhu Di frowned, he obviously didn't want to believe Ji Boying's words, and he didn't plan to believe them, Lao Zhu Di had absolute confidence in the matter of sweeping Mobei.

This self-confidence comes from the fact that he led the army to Mobei for the first time in the 23rd year of Hongwu, and it has been 30 years since then, and he has been invincible and invincible.

But this is the word of an immortal, and it is not easy for him to refute it on the surface.

"To be precise, your next Fourth Northern Expedition and Fifth Northern Expedition failed to confront Arutai head-on, until you died on the way back from the Fifth Northern Expedition."

In the last three years of Emperor Yongle, it can almost be described as a crazy Northern Expedition, completely ignoring the opposition of his ministers, sparing no matter the people's strength, and each time he led hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer in person.

In the twenty years of Yongle, the twenty-first year of Yongle, and the twenty-second year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle personally conquered the Northern Expedition for three consecutive years, and at this time Emperor Yongle was actually seriously ill.

More importantly, the state finances in the last years of Yongle were no longer enough to support the large-scale Northern Expedition year after year, which is also the reason why Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, did not hesitate to provoke Zhu Di and desperately advised.

Ji Boying's second sentence came out. Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di were silent again.

Because if the Northern Expedition did not inflict a substantial blow on the steppe tribes, it would be in vain, and the price of this futility would be the empty drain of the treasury.

It is undeniable that the greatness of the Yongle Dynasty will not be forgotten by history, but the national financial pressure brought about by the successive conquests during the Yongle period and the intensification of domestic contradictions cannot be ignored.

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

If it weren't for the successor Emperor Renzong to change course, the future of the Ming Dynasty would be unpredictable.

As the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao said to Zhu Di before his death, the Ming Dynasty could not withstand the toss of three generations of male lords.

"The Mongol army is cavalry, and the mobility is extremely high, and our Ming Dynasty is mostly infantry, if the other party blindly avoids the battle and flees, it is indeed difficult to find a decisive battle."

Lao Zhu opened his voice.

After all, Zhu Di's Northern Expedition army is mainly composed of 3,000 battalions, Shenji battalions, and five military battalions, and the largest number of people is the infantry belonging to the five military battalions.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu carried out a total of thirteen northern expeditions, with large and small scales.

Of course, Lao Zhu's Northern Expedition was not a personal expedition, but a dispatch of generals, except for the first few times to completely sweep away the remnants, in the future, Lao Zhu had only one requirement for the generals of the Northern Expedition, that is, to preserve his strength and hit hard.

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

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

In this way, although the Ming army could not completely eliminate the remnants of the Mongols, the Mongols could not cause major border troubles to the Ming Dynasty.

The Nine Great Sai Kings are the best examples of strategy.

"Fourth, according to what my brother said, the two northern expeditions of your dynasty have achieved the purpose of deterring the grassland, and it is indeed not appropriate to continue the northern expedition, not to mention that the Arutai you said has been severely damaged by you, and its cunning is afraid that it will not lose to Wang Baobao, and it will definitely not confront you head-on, but personally lead the army deep into Mobei, one is not careful, it is very likely to be countered."

The Arutai in Lao Zhu Di's mouth reminded Lao Zhu of Wang Baobao, whom he admired very much.

After the destruction of the Yuan, Wang Baobao led people to wander around Mobei and fight in the wilderness.

In addition to the Chinese name of Wang Baobao, this old boy also has a reputation for Wang Runran, and if you want to find him, you can't find it, but this old boy will come out from time to time to bite you.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu sent Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, and Lan Yu out in one go, and he was about to destroy Wang Baobao, but the final result was unexpected, the Ming army was defeated, and even Li Wenzhong almost died.

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

"What the immortal envoy said may not be the end of me."

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

The Yongle Emperor, who is famous in the annals of history, is the only son of heaven in history who rebelled against the throne as a vassal king, and he never believes in fate, he only believes in himself, and fate is in his own hands.

In Lao Zhu Di's opinion, he was able to overthrow Emperor Jianwen, who had an army of millions of people, with only 800 guards, and he had done everything that changed his life against the sky, what else in the world could not be done? !

is just a remnant, what a tooth.

"Hmm."

"You can continue the third Northern Expedition, but I hope that if it doesn't work, give up the last two."

Ji Boying did not directly deny Lao Zhu Di, and he couldn't deny it, because as long as Lao Zhu Di insisted, even if Lao Zhu spoke, it would probably be useless.

After all, this is the Yongle Dynasty, it is the nineteenth year of Yongle, and more than 20 years have passed since Lao Zhu's death, and those civil servants and generals of the Hongwu Dynasty have withered, plus Lao Zhudi's personal prestige and authority have reached their peak.

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

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

"Brother is our Great Ming Immortal Master, and my brother's words are the destiny of heaven."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu Di suddenly felt depressed in his heart.

"However, what our descendants of the old Zhu family want is to change their lives against the sky."

Lao Zhu laughed, stood up, and raised his hand to pat Lao Zhu Di's shoulder.

I think that he started from a bowl back then, laid down this huge Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, who rebelled and ascended the throne as a vassal king, was also the first time in the ages.

Zhu Di wanted to sweep Mobei, but how could his old Zhu not want to clear the grassland.

Emotionally, the father and son resonate.

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

"However, as the immortal master said, if you don't make any contributions to the third Northern Expedition, we hope you can follow the words of the immortal master, stop fighting for martial arts, and live with the people."

This scene really seems to be a bit inconsistent.

A middle-aged man patted an elderly man on the shoulder and cheered up, and the old man listened with excited eyes and red eyes.

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

"Son, obey my father's orders!"

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

He planned to go with him when Lao Zhu Di went on the Third Northern Expedition, maybe he could change the results of the Third Northern Expedition, and maybe he could change the national honor of the Yongle Dynasty.

Even if you can't meet Arutai, you have to kill Xiao Ye first to prevent the change of the civil fort in advance.

"Sit down, it's time to get down to business."

Ji Boying nodded on the table.

Because of the discussion of Lao Zhu Di's third Northern Expedition, it was delayed for a long time.

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

Should the prime minister system, which has been inherited for thousands of years, be deposed?!
