When it comes to the Battle of Jingnan, everyone first thinks that it may be Zhu Di's bravery, but there is one person that everyone must not have thought of, that is, Zhu Gaozi, who blocked Li Jinglong's half a million horses with 50,000 troops in this battle.
Zhu Di did not like Zhu Gaozi too much, who was fat and had some problems with his legs and feet, and compared with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, Zhu Gaozi was defeated in terms of image.
However, because of a war, Zhu Di obviously developed a good feeling for Zhu Gaozi, and it can even be said that Zhu Gaozi played a pivotal role in the Battle of Jingnan.
If the Battle of Jingnan failed, it would be tantamount to a catastrophe for Zhu Di, and the purpose of why Zhu Yunjiao wanted to cut the domain was self-evident, that is, he felt that the king of the domain would threaten his position and rule, and the existence of the domain town also increased state expenditure.
For the country, cutting the clan is not a bad thing, but the bad is bad, these clan kings will not be tied up, since ancient times there has been a king who has defeated the Kou, Zhu Yunjiao can't cut off the king of the clan, he will have to bear the consequences, the same reason can also prove that Zhu Di is also like this.
After the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di added his yellow robe, he made Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince, and gave up Zhu Gaoxu, who had always been born and died around, and Zhu Di once said that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was more self-like, but why did a battle change all his thoughts? There are some deep reasons for this.
Can Zhu Yunjiao cut the domain? In fact, it is not impossible, but his steps are a little too fast, and in the case of the foundation is still unstable, he has this idea, which is tantamount to putting himself on a carbon fire to "barbecue".
The ancients often said a saying, called "if you want to be fast, you can't reach it", and the things you are anxious to do are often unsuccessful.
The ministers Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others only put forward the suggestion of cutting the domain, but did not think of the results after the cutting of the domain.
When the kings of the various clans were overthrown by false accusations, how could Zhu Di have no other ideas?
So Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan, in which Zhu Gaoxu had been guarding the city of Beijing, but Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di had fought all the way, just imagine that without Zhu Gaozi's death, Zhu Di would not have time to take care of his "doorstep".
In September of the first year of Jianwen, Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 people to start planning a full-scale attack on Zhu Di's "old lair" Beijing.
At this time, Zhu Di was fighting elsewhere, and he must have taken away the elite soldiers, leaving Zhu Gaozi with only the old, weak, sick and disabled, And Li Jinglong thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he approached the city of Beijing.
The beginning was simple, Li Jinglong surrounded the city of Beijing, and then seized the main place into Beijing, Tongzhou, which was equivalent to cutting off the support.
If Zhu Di responded, then give him an ambush in the middle of the road, preferably in one net, Li Jinglong's abacus beads hit very loudly, as if everything was stable.
However, what Li Jinglong did not expect was that Zhu Gaozi actually defeated his 500,000 horses with tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
Half a million soldiers approached the city, and they could make people fearful without counting them one by one, but Zhu Gaozi was not intimidated by this kind of battle, and he encouraged the old and weak women and children to participate in the battle to defend the city of Beijing.
After a month of stalemate, Li Jinglong felt that it was almost over, so he launched a general attack on Beijing, with high morale, and was bound to take down the city tower, and at this time, Zhu Gaozi also held the heart of a decisive battle, waiting for the storm to come.
On the one hand, there is an attack from the elite troops, on the other hand, there is a helpless defense of the city, if you want to be more determined, no matter how you look at it, the person who guards the city tower with his life seems to be more tragic.
Under Li Jinglong's powerful attack, the city of Beijing is in danger of being breached at any time, but no matter how it is fought, the city of Beijing is impregnable, and in the end, Li Jinglong himself is in a hurry, at this time, if Zhu Di kills a "back horse gun", can he be overwhelmed?
Sure enough, after a battle, Zhu Di turned back to Beijing, and Zhu Di, who drew his hand, could be described as invincible, and directly joined forces with Zhu Gaoli in the city of Beijing to defeat Li Jinglong.
In fact, this is a very dangerous battle, if Zhu Gaozi can't defend the city of Beijing, it is equivalent to Zhu Di's "old nest" will be destroyed, once this happens, it will be equivalent to a disaster for Zhu Di.
In fact, Zhu Gaozi was not a military general, and he could not personally lead the expedition, but Zhu Gaozi had an advantage, that is, corporal Li Xian did not have a little imperial and noble shelf, and it was precisely because of this that he was respected by the generals.
If you want to win the battle, the soldiers are the most important force, and Zhu Gaozi knows the truth and serves the people with benevolence and righteousness.
In addition to taking benevolence and righteousness as the basis, Zhu Gaozi also employs people without doubt, and the most taboo thing about marching and fighting is hesitation, and there is no room for wavering on the battlefield, because a little hesitation may miss an opportunity, and this opportunity may be a matter of life and death.
The Battle of Jingnan can be said to be the most dazzling moment in Zhu Gaozi's life, and some people may say that Li Jinglong was too dish, and with the strength of half a million troops, he did not break through the city of Beijing.
Li Jinglong attacked Beijing from the south to the north, in the era of cold weapons, there was no carriage and horse transportation, there would be many situations on the road, has not yet reached the city of Beijing, there has been a situation of cars and horses, expeditions have been difficult since ancient times, let alone a general who has been peaceful for a long time.
The climate between the north and the south is very different, Li Jinglong attacked the city in October, and the weather in the north was already deeper and colder in October, so Li Jinglong was not pleasant under external conditions.
Although Li Jinglong has a crowd of 500,000 people, these people are only temporarily integrated, and they do not have the determination to unite as one, compared with the soldiers in Beijing, their confidence is not firm, why is everyone in Beijing a soldier? The reason is too simple, if the city is destroyed, the people will be displaced, "swallowed" by the flames of war, driven by the different psychology of the two sides, Li Jinglong's half a million horses will become a figment.
Of course, Li Jinglong was only a temporarily appointed general, and he did not know how to deal with these half a million "scattered sands", in fact, the city of Beijing could not be attacked for a long time, Li Jinglong could not all "carry the pot", the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao should also be responsible, he did not expect that the other uncles were obediently "neck to kill", only Zhu Di would resist, and this hand made Zhu Yunxiu unexpected.
Hurriedly slashing the domain, hurriedly attacking the city of Beijing, undefeated before there is a ghost.
When Li Jinglong attacked the city of Beijing, he was very eager to make quick gains, he wanted to get the first merit, and when his subordinate Qu Neng led more than a thousand elite horsemen to enter Zhangye Gate, he actually ordered qu to be unable to attack, and everyone knew that if he missed an opportunity on the battlefield, he would be doomed, and the so-called "difference of a millimeter, a thousand miles of falsehood" is this meaning.
Of course, Li Jinglong himself does have problems, he is too greedy, and at the same time he credulously believes in villains, and does not use the talented people around him, if not, let alone Zhu Gaozi, maybe Zhu Di has been destroyed several times.
Zhu Gaozi stubbornly defended the city tower in the defense of Beijing, showing a calm psychological quality, as well as superb commanding ability, from then on, Zhu Di also looked at him with admiration, but Zhu Gaozi always had a leg and foot inconvenience problem, this point Zhu Di was grumpy, after the Battle of Jingran, the courtiers have always elected Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince, Zhu Di also had a slight sway, but in the end he weighed the pros and cons, or let Zhu Gaozi become the prince, and Zhu Gaozi also had an advantage that others did not have, and he also had a clever son - Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di liked him very much.
Zhu Gaozi was the crown prince for twenty years, and he died within ten months of ascending the throne, and he was an out-and-out "short-lived emperor", but this fat and leg diseased man was a benevolent and righteous prince, and the political achievements and contributions he made had a very far-reaching impact on future generations.
