Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

Correct.

This is the Great Ming Dynasty in his heart.

This is the Ming Dynasty worthy of Zhu Di's desperate protection.

If he were to be an emperor, he still had to rely on women to marry him, and live on land cuts and indemnities. If he was so useless, what use would he have for this country.

Originally, Zhu Di's imperial conquest was just to avenge the [-] Ming army and vent his anger on himself.

Now after hearing Lu Lin's words, he felt suddenly enlightened.

His Northern Expedition was not to vent his anger on anyone, let alone because he was warlike.

It was for the longer-term peace of the Ming Dynasty.

The only thing to do is to frighten and subdue those dreaming Mongolian tribes, and drive them far away from the border of Daming.

Only then can the Ming Dynasty truly usher in long-term peace, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment.

Lu Lin's words strengthened Zhu Di's determination in the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Di never expected that after living for decades, the person who understood him best in the end was this cheap son who had known him for less than a month.

In ancient times, there was Huo Qubing who sealed off the wolf as a Xu, but now there is Lu Lin Wushuang, a national scholar.

Both of these two are worthy of the name of national scholars.

Chapter 16 The Camel Carrying Water

Zhu Di was deeply shocked by Lu Lin's remarks about discord, no tribute, no vassalization, no cedement of land, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies.

Lu Lin set up his life goals for the next few decades.

The future was formulated for the entire Ming Dynasty.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies.

This is the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

unprecedented.

Zhu Di was very excited.

"So, you also approve of the emperor's Northern Expedition?"

Lu Lin thought he was funny: "Is the emperor my father? Do I agree or not?"

"Eat more, dream less."

Lu Linlin didn't forget to taunt Zhu Di.

Being ridiculed, Zhu Di just smiled dryly and did not refute.

In fact, the inner thought is, hehe, unexpectedly, the emperor is your father.

Seeing the performance of the two, Yang Shiqi was so frightened that his eyeballs almost fell off.

Just now in the Fengtian Palace, he was shouting at him for daring to disobey His Majesty, but now he is like the old man next door, allowing this kid Lu Lin to ridicule and bully him.

He also looked like he was enjoying it.

Hell it really is.

"Mr. Lu, in your opinion, what should His Majesty do if he really wants to go to the Northern Expedition?" Yang Shiqi couldn't care less.

It was not easy to meet Mr. Lu County, so he asked for advice in various ways.

Lu Lin actually doesn't like discussing government affairs. After all, in this era, literary inquisition is popular.

"You're a petty official who can't even rank in the military department. You can't talk about such a big event as the Northern Expedition, so don't ask."

Yang Shiqi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was said for the first time that he could not speak in the Ministry of War.

I was very unhappy, but for the sake of the man from County Lu, I forgave him.

"Besides, the emperor already has a countermeasure in mind, so don't meddle in it."

what?

Your Majesty already has countermeasures?

Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Di curiously.

Zhu Di shook his head innocently.

I do not have.

I do not know.

do not look at me.

Zhu Di couldn't help but ask himself, what countermeasures do I have?

Why don't I know it myself?

Am I Emperor Yongle?

Zhu Di lost all self-confidence to Lu Lin.

"What countermeasures will the emperor have?" Zhu Di asked Lu Lin eagerly.

Why do I feel that you are more like an emperor than me.

"Actually, it's nothing. If you want to fight, you must first repair the city, train the sergeants, and deploy the ordnance."

"But because the Tatars live deep in Mobei, they often live in no fixed place, and they like to fight in a roundabout way, so if they want to fight them, they must go deep into the grasslands to find their main force."

"In this way, we must fight for a long time, and water and food must be guaranteed."

"That's why the emperor will collect a large number of camels before the battle and carry them with water."

Zhu Di and Yang Shiqi couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words.

Camels carry water.

Good idea.

Why didn't they think of it?
