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

For Zhu Neng, death on the battlefield is the best destination for a soldier.

Chapter 112

Zhu Neng insisted on going to war, because he really hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time.

Secondly, he wanted to share the worries of His Majesty, since Daming does not have many capable generals nowadays.

Otherwise, His Majesty will not insist on conquering Tatars in the north.

Everyone thought that His Majesty's personal conquest was because His Majesty was warlike, but only Zhu Neng knew that His Majesty had no one to use, so he had no choice but to take command and personally conscript.

Looking at the aged Zhu Neng, Zhu Di felt that his beard and hair were stained with hoarfrost at some point, but he was still brave and fearless, and he was filled with emotion.

The Hu family dared to personally provoke and kill the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, this battle was determined to be fought, otherwise how could the Ming Dynasty gain a foothold in the world.

After hesitating again and again, Zhu Di agreed to Zhu Neng's request.

"Get up, you don't feel tired if you kneel at every turn when you are old."

Zhu Neng asked to be allowed, smiled broadly, stood up and patted his knee: "It's okay, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I can still kneel for decades."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing even after being teased by him, temporarily suppressing his worries.

Annan is far away, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhu Di attaches great importance to this expedition, so in addition to Zhu Neng, Zhu Di also sent Mu Sheng from the Mu Palace to go together.

Zhu Neng led 30 troops and marched from Guangxi to Annan.

Mu Sheng, leading [-] troops from Yunnan, marched from Yunnan.

The troops were divided into two groups, with a total of 40 Ming troops, which were claimed to be 80 to the outside world, to conquer Annan.

Two groups of soldiers and horses almost cut off the whole of Annan and besieged them in the Annan Kingdom. Even if the Hu family couldn't defend, Zhu Di could keep them trapped in the city of sorrow until they died.

Therefore, Zhu Di is quite satisfied with this military deployment.

A mere Annan, mobilized 40 Ming troops, and each person could drown Annan with a mouthful of saliva.

Zhu Neng accepted the order, and excitedly left the palace to go.

In fact, he didn't need to worry at all, the army went out, and the food and grass went first.

The food, grass and military supplies of the 30-strong army sounded like a lot, and it might take a long time to prepare.

So he has plenty of time to prepare.

But Zhu Neng was so excited, he wanted to put on his armor and go into battle immediately. How could he have waited so long, so he hurried back to the mansion to prepare and arrange for his family members to go.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Di was angry and funny.

Zhu Neng, this time, you will be able to go forward bravely and be invincible like Jing Nan back then.

Zhu Neng left, but Prince Mu did not leave for a long time.

Mu Sheng is his second elder brother. As early as the first year of Jianwen, when his father passed away, he became Prince Mu and was ordered to guard Yunnan.

This time His Majesty appointed the second elder brother to go to war, it seems that Annan is determined to win.

He wanted to go out with General Zhu Neng, march from Guangxi, and join his second brother in Annan.

Although Annan is small, if the Hu family is prepared to resist to the death, they will not be so easy to win.

It is a long way to go to Annan, and it is most forbidden for a large army to travel long distances. In addition, the climate in Annan is sultry and humid, which is very different from that of Ming Dynasty. This is also very unfavorable for the Ming army who is going on an expedition.

Little prince Mu was always a little worried, and he vaguely felt that the plague Lu Lin mentioned might happen to the Ming army who was going to war.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to go out with the army."

"Oh?" Little Prince Mu's request was beyond Zhu Di's expectations: "It's very good, why do you want to join the army?"

"Worried about your second brother?"

Zhu Di saw through his thoughts at a glance, and asked straight to the point.

Little Prince Mu didn't hide anything anymore, nodded and said, "Even though Second Brother has been fighting all year round, he has always been in Yunnan. Many soldiers in Yunnan have also lived in Yunnan since childhood, and have almost never left."

"Now that I suddenly travel long distances to Annan, I am afraid it will be difficult to adapt to the climate in Annan."

This is true, but Zhu Di smiled and said: "If you can't adapt to the climate, then if you go, they still can't adapt."

Aren't you a god, can you still change the climate in Annan?

Seeing His Majesty's questioning, Young Lord Mu hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to fear that the Ming army going to war will be infected with the plague."

"Stop talking nonsense."

When Zhu Di heard this, his face turned black. The Ming army has not yet started, so you curse them with the plague first. If this word is spread, won't it disturb the morale of the army?

I know he is worried about Mu Sheng, but this is a bit too much.

Little Prince Mu knew that this was unconvincing, so he told His Majesty everything he had seen and heard in the Lu Lin Mansion in the past few days.

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately murmured in his heart.

"You mean that the plague will occur in Ming Dynasty, and that's what Lu Lin said?"

"But Lu Lin only said that the plague would happen, and didn't say that it was this time that Annan was being conquered."

Having said all this, Little Prince Mu didn't hide anymore.

"Lu Xianzi first developed penicillin, and then asked his ministers to enter the palace to report to His Majesty Chen Tianping, and also stated that the plague is most likely to occur in humid and hot environments."

"Although he didn't say it clearly, it's not difficult to guess that it was Annan's battle, Your Majesty."

That's pretty much the case.

and many more.

Zhu Di stared at him, and asked: "You said that Chen Tianping was killed, was it Lu Lin who told you? Did you even ask you to enter the palace to tell me?"

"It is indeed what Lu Xianzi said."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di became even more worried.

This brat seems to be able to pinch and count. He even predicted that Chen Tianping would be killed in advance, so what he said about the plague...

I'm afraid it's almost the same.

It was the first time that Zhu Di hoped that Lu Lin, a stinky boy, was a mediocre person, and that he was just talking about the plague and bragging about it.
