"Ma...what country? Pressure...?"
"What kind of emperor is this?" Zhu Di looked confused.
"This is a Western emperor who lived in the same period as the Pre-Qin and Warring States periods." Zhu Su explained. "You know Genghis Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Genghis Khan rose up in northern Xinjiang, worked hard, and conquered a huge territory from west to east..."
"Of course I know this." Zhu Di interrupted Zhu Su's words. He was quite unconvinced and said: "Genghis Khan swept the world, he is indeed a hero. But to be honest, he just took advantage of my Han family."
"That is to say, relying on me, China, the world was divided at that time, and the weak Song Dynasty had a group of tuberculosis soldiers to coax the weak officials, and then spared a series of stupid emperors who broke their arms..."
"If it were me, Daming, would he try to fight hard again? Our father is wise and decisive, and he has a bunch of generals from the Han family, including Uncle Xu and Brother Bao'er."
"If I had been guarding Northern Xinjiang at that time, if Genghis Khan dared to stretch his hand across the Great Wall, I would have chopped off his dog paws!"
Zhu Laosi exploded with momentum and spoke impassionedly, as if he was extremely angry that he was not born in the late Song Dynasty so that he could have a chance to compete with the Meng Yuan Dynasty at its strongest. It took a while to put away his emotions, "Lao Wu, what does this pressure emperor of the horse country have to do with Genghis Khan?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the pressure is on... Bah, Alexander the Great."
Almost being led astray by Zhu Laosi, Zhu Su continued: "... Alexander the Great is exactly the opposite of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan went from east to west, but he led his army from west to east and conquered the country without hesitation. A huge territory.”
"It is said that Alexander the Great yearned for the East and was curious about what was in the eastern world. Therefore, he always marched eastwards and never stopped..."
"Oh?" Zhu Di was a little surprised. "The soldier is a major national event, and he keeps going east just for his own curiosity?"
"Isn't this making national affairs trivial?"
"But the country of Macedonia was just a small country in the far west at the beginning, with a radius of less than a hundred miles... but by the time Alexander died, it had become a powerful country that spanned millions of miles and made the world tremble." Zhu Su blinked. blink. "If it's just child's play, can it be done to this extent?"
"This..." Zhu Di was speechless for a moment and thought about it thoughtfully. "Can war strengthen a country? Could this be what you just said? War is a continuation of politics. I want interests and victory..."
Zhu Su blinked again. In fact, the powerful empire established by Alexander fell apart after his death. Strictly speaking, it could not be regarded as a successful political war... But in order to fool Zhu Laosi, he made a very wise choice at this time. silence……
Seeing his silence, Zhu Di naturally took it as Zhu Su's acquiescence. He took a breath of cold air, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then asked: "So, did he come to China? Did he realize the power of Qin Nu at that time?"
"No." Zhu Su shook his head. "Alexander the Great died young, at the age of thirty-three..."
"What? Thirty-three years old?" Zhu Di's eyes widened. "Do Western barbarians also have heroes like this?"
"That's not the case." Zhu Su said. "Fourth child, you think that 'Emperor Yongle's' several expeditions to Mobei are enough for you. How does it compare with Alexander's life?"
"This..." Zhu Di blushed.
"There are some Westerners who don't know how high the sky is. It is often said that Alexander is the greatest hero in the world. The Macedonian army under his command is the strongest army in the world." Zhu Su saw that Zhu Di was about to enter the urn, and his tone became more bewitching, provoking: "Some people say that if Alexander the Great had lived a few years longer, there would be no other Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. I, the son of the Huaxia, together with the Zhou Dynasty and Sheji, would all be taken away by him..."
In fact, when Zhu Su said that the Macedonian army was "the most powerful army in the world" just now, he already showed a look of dissatisfaction. When he said, "The son of a Chinese boy was taken over by him," Zhu Di's face turned even redder.
"Fart! Our Chinese army was so powerful at that time, who among the barbarians from all over the world dared to challenge it? The Western barbarians could not understand the Chinese art of war at that time, even if they spent their entire lives trying to figure it out!"
"Not to mention the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there is only one Kingdom of Qin. If that piece of shit Horse Kingdom dares to come, I can beat him to pieces!"
"Maybe we will have to dig out more than a dozen mass graves even if we are tired!"
After he said this, he still felt angrily: "If father allows me to lead an army alone, I will definitely march to the west! Travel to every inch of the western territory! Let those Western barbarians who talk nonsense know what I am, a Chinese hero!"
"Go ahead!" Zhu Su said with a smile, stroking his hands. "Fourth brother is so arrogant and so arrogant, I really feel like I'm in trouble at this moment!"
"Fourth brother, by the time you become a vassal, you will be about the same age as Alexander the Great when he started his Eastern Campaign."
"Have you never thought about taking me, the Chinese son of mine, all the way to the west, fighting through it, and teaching those Westerners what a truly powerful Chinese army is?"
"What Alexander can do, I, the son of China, can't do it, can't I?" Zhu Laowu was very provocative and continued to stir up Zhu Laosi's lofty ambitions.
"Of course I..." Zhu Di subconsciously wanted to slap his chest, but he raised his hand halfway and put it down again. He shrank his shoulders slightly: "Lao Wu, please don't tease me... I really want to teach Bei Yuan and Xi Man why China cannot be bullied..."
"But dad is very guarded against me. If I really lead the army, can dad and brother feel at ease?"
"Fourth Brother, you are over the top." Once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of ropes for ten years. It seems that Lao Zhu is afraid that Lao Si is really ambitious, so he has been disciplining Zhu Lao Si these days. A good young man was whipped to the point of being timid by Lao Zhu...
Zhu Su patted Zhu Di on the shoulder. "Fourth brother, didn't dad tell us all that we should imitate the Zhou system and enfeoff the vassal kings, and all of them will be granted overseas."
"If there are those who are incompetent and can't survive outside, they will probably be taken to Fengyang, the central capital, where they can feed them with good food and drink for several generations."
"Fourth brother, you are so capable, why are you afraid that dad won't reuse you? Dad may be afraid of you, but he is also afraid that you will lose your mind and become wild-minded in the future, and do things that will cause the blood of our Zhu family to annihilate each other!"
"If you were granted a title far away to the west and showed off the prestige of our country, your son would travel thousands of miles and your mother would be worried. Do you think my father would be more worried about you, or would he be more worried about you because he is proud of you?"
"...Yes." Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt enlightened. "If I can't offend my father, why can't I hide away? I'll hide far away to the west, so that I can teach those Western barbarians a lesson and avoid seeing my father..."
"I didn't mean that..." Zhu Su was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand: "That's okay to understand. In short, if you ask yourself to conquer the west and establish a vassal state, I don't think dad will object."
"If the journey is long, it will take three and a half years to come back. Why would dad be worried about you raising an army and returning to Jingjing?"
"In my opinion, if the descendants of eldest brother are still as bad as Zhu Yunwen, causing the chaos in our Ming Dynasty, it would be a good thing to really calm him down."
Zhu Su said something sincere. In history, Emperor Yongle and Emperor Jianwen were extremely different and couldn't be compared.
