That being the case, why bother to find yourself unhappy.
And with the experience of the last Northern Expedition, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War are very familiar with the preparations for the expedition.
In less than half a month, everything was ready, waiting for the emperor to order when to go out.
Zhu Di found several key people who were to be brought on the expedition, including Zhu Zhanji and Lu Lin.
"This time, I still plan to lead an army of 50 troops."
In this regard, no one has any objections. The food and grass are also prepared for 50 people, and the 50 troops assembled this time are obviously the original batch.
Been there once, everyone has experience.
Don't panic.
Even a little excited.
"However, Wacha is different from Tatar. As far as Mahamu is concerned, he is not a person who shouts slogans in vain."
This is the biggest difference between Mahamu and Benya.
Since Mahamu is ready to fight to the death with Daming, he must be prepared.
Maybe they have already drawn up a detailed battle plan against the Ming army, just waiting for them to go there.
King Zhao of Han didn't think so, thinking that Benya Shili and Alutai were also very arrogant at the beginning, but in the end, before their 50 troops arrived, they were terrified.
He didn't even hit him, and ran away with his belongings.
However, Lu Lin thought that Zhu Di's analysis was very reasonable: "Actually, our Ming cavalry is no better than the Tatar cavalry. The reason why we won so easily last time is because we had great momentum and suppressed the Tatars in one go. "
"Secondly, there was a split within the Tatars. Ben Yashili and Alutai chose to escape, and they ran separately, so we had a chance to defeat each other."
Otherwise, they may not be able to defeat the Tatars so easily.
After all, even if they escaped, we almost failed to find them.
It can be seen from this that if the Ming army confronted the Tatars head-on, they would not have much advantage.
Lu Lin can see these problems, but Mahamu, as a seasoned and experienced veteran, cannot see them.
So, this time Mahamu is not so easy to clean up.
Chapter 259
For Lu Lin's analysis, King Han and King Zhao didn't buy it.
"Mere Mahamu, you said it so well, if Wacha is really so powerful, he should have taken advantage of our attack on Tatar and blocked our retreat with a sneak attack."
This is the best way for Wacha to defeat the Ming army.
While they were looking for Alutai and others all over the sky, cut off their retreat and besiege them in the prairie.
Although there are many of them, they are trapped in the middle and besieged on all sides, so they still can't get cheap.
But Mahamu didn't do that. Instead, he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. In order not to offend Daming, he even killed Benya who fled to them, and sent his head to Daming for reward.
It can be seen from this that Mahamu is nothing more than a greedy, quick-flying rat.
Seeing that they were not willing to listen, Lu Lin chose to shut up.
It is a big taboo for military strategists to be indifferent and not to see your opponent in the eyes, and you will suffer.
"Okay, there is no need to argue, who is Mahamu, we will find out after we fight."
Zhu Di stopped the King of Han from continuing: "We still have to bring Shenjiying."
Although the Shenji Battalion was also brought last time, because the Tatars were running all the time, they hardly confronted them head-on, so the Shenji Battalion was useless at all.
But this time he still had to bring it. He had a hunch that Mahamu would definitely fight them head-on, and it would be a fierce fight.
After confirming the expedition personnel, everyone went back to prepare.
Tomorrow will officially start.
Lu Lin and Zhu Zhanji were about to leave, but Zhu Di stopped them.
"You are not young anymore, when you come back from this victory, you should start a family and start a business."
Lu Lin and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other. Naturally, he had no problem. Marrying Jiaxing was something he had started preparing early in the morning.
It was Zhu Zhanji who was a little confused: "Grandpa, I want to start a family too?"
Didn't he just call off the engagement with Zhang Xin'er?
Who is he going to marry?
Zhu Di smiled: "Why don't you start a family?"
"You are a great-grandson, and the marriage cannot be postponed. If you marry a good grandson and concubine, and give birth to a boy and a half girl, our Ming Dynasty will be considered stable."
"But grandpa, who shall I marry?" Zhu Zhanji was speechless.
Seeing Grandpa like this, he must have found a good candidate long ago, so he just came to let me know.
The problem is, how long has it been since he canceled the engagement with Zhang Xin'er, and he can't wait to get married immediately, what do outsiders think.
Zhu Di didn't care about what outsiders thought, he just wanted his grandson to get married as soon as possible and have a son and a half daughter, so that his grandson's position could be secured if he had a successor.
"You've seen it before." Zhu Di said with a mysterious smile, "Grandpa's savior, Hu Shanxiang, Miss Hu."
Zhu Zhanji: ...
Have you ever seen this?
I have seen her before. When I saw her, she was covered in blood, and she almost couldn't be saved.
To be honest, Zhu Zhanji was only worried about his grandfather getting scared, and really didn't care about that girl Hu, so he almost couldn't remember what she looked like.
The only memory is that she was covered in blood.
"Miss Hu is a virtuous, dignified, and ingenious person. Grandpa can rest assured that she will be your good wife."
Zhu Di has always been very satisfied with Hu Shanxiang, not entirely because she saved herself, but also because of her temperament and how she behaves in the world.
If he can do his best to help the grandson, the grandson will definitely become a wise king in the future.
But Zhu Zhanji was obviously not very happy, after all, he really had no impression of her, almost like a stranger.
