Protagonist's name: Zhu Di
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Ying Tian (now Nanjing)
Birth year: 1360.5.2 to 1424.8.12
Relationship: The fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, and the uncle of the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao
This event: Rebellion
Purpose: To ascend to the throne of God
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death (1398), because the crown prince Zhu Biao died before Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne. After Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne, he thought that the strength of the nine uncles (nine clan kings) in front of him was too strong, so he did
Unite with his confidants Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to cut the domain
。
Zhu Yuanzhang
When preparing to cut Zhu Di's domain, Zhu Di took advantage of the situation, killed the officials who had arrested him, launched the Battle of Jingnan (rebellion) in the name of a traitorous courtier, and quickly captured Peiping (present-day Beijing), using Beiping as the base camp to carry out the "Jingnan". At the beginning of this "Jing Difficulty" (July of the first year of Jianwen), Zhu Di took tongzhou, Jizhou and other cities with a little effort, but
Zhu Di was at a disadvantage in many large-scale wars, but he was able to survive every time, as if he had the help of destiny, and finally ascended to the position he dreamed of with a breakthrough idea- the throne
Zhu Yunjiao
The first large-scale war , the Battle of True Destiny
Zhu Yunjiao saw that his uncle Zhu Di was attacking so fiercely, so he sent his grandfather's general Geng Bingwen, who was left behind at that time, to lead an army of 300,000 to attack Zhu Di. At the time of the expedition,
Zhu Yunjiao said to Geng Bingwen, "Don't let me bear the charge of killing my uncle."
This sentence made Geng Bingwen very confused,
It is necessary to crusade against Zhu Di, but also not to kill Zhu Di
This is a bit difficult to do. Geng Bingwen here is worth introducing, Geng Bingwen in Zhu Yuanzhang's time, because of his merits in holding Changxing City, was named the Marquis of Changxing after Zhu Yuanzhang called the emperor, and the only one who can stay from Zhu Yuanzhang's era is him, because he is a general who is known for defense, do not worry about him rebelling, even if he wants to rebel, defensive generals can not set off a big wave. The generals (Lan Yu and others) who were good at attacking had already been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Di
Because Zhu Yunjiao used the wrong general, the war was also doomed to failure. In August of the same year, Geng Bingwen reached Zhending and began to distribute his army and prepare for the offensive. After Zhu Difang sent the general Zhang Yu to observe the enemy situation, he believed that Geng Bingwen's army was poorly disciplined, so it was launched on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival
In the first war of Zhending, it can also be said to be an attack. After this battle, XiongXian was successfully taken
But the army on Geng Bingwen's side can be said to have suffered very few casualties (based on the number of 300,000).
After this defeat, both Zhu Difang and Geng Bingwenfang began to gather their armies, and the two sides decided to fight a decisive battle at Zhending. During the confrontation between the two sides, Zhu Di led a thousand troops to strike at Geng Bingwen's flank, forcing him to attack the enemy, at this moment
Zhu Di's army attacked from the front, causing Geng Bingwen to suffer heavy losses on both sides
。 So Geng Bingwen retreated to Zhending City, and in terms of attack, Geng Bingwen was not good, but he was absolutely good at defending the city.
Geng Bingwen
In this war, Zhu Di won, which made him feel that the Ming Dynasty had no opponent of its own
Began to despise the opponent. This also caused him to lose several wars in the future
mistake. But the only benefit of the first war was that Zhu Yunjiao gave Zhu Di an amulet, which gave Zhu Di a great chance of survival, and this amulet was that sentence."
Don't let me be accused of killing my uncle."
”。
The second large-scale war, the Battle of baigou River, Zhu Di was in a desperate situation for the first time
After Successive Defeats of Geng Bingwen, Zhu Yunjiao sent Li Jinglong (Li Wenzhong's son, but without Li Wenzhong's military prowess) to succeed Geng Bingwen and added 500,000 troops. After Li Jinglong took over, he began to organize an army, and when he learned that Zhu Di had gone out with his troops, he immediately began to attack Beiping. Before Zhu Di left, he let his son Zhu Gaozi defend the city. He went to king Ning and coerced him into joining him, allowing himself to obtain the Three Guards of Duoyan (Mongolian iron horse, strong in battle). Living up to expectations, Zhu Gaozi defended the city before Zhu Di returned.
Li Jinglong
After Zhu Di's return,
In the first head-to-head confrontation between Zhengjiaba and Li Jinglong, Zhu Di used duoyan sanwei to attack the southern army
The battle ended with Zhu Di pursuing Li Jinglong. After Li Jinglong fled, he retreated to Dezhou, began to reorganize the army (the army is now 600,000 people), and gathered helpers, this time he found the right people, namely Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu, and Ping'an. Prepare for a decisive battle with Zhu Di at the Baigou River.
In April of the second year of Jianwen, when Zhu Di reached the Baigou River, Ping'an led the Southern Army to launch the first attack, and due to Zhu Di's contempt for the Southern Army, Jean
Ping An launched an attack on Zhu Di's troops from behind, a step that completely disrupted Zhu Di's plans
。 After that, this war broke out completely,
The number of the Southern Army was far greater than that of Zhu Di's Northern Army, and the Northern Army gradually became weaker
When Zhu Di insisted bitterly, thinking that he was going to be destroyed,
A gust of wind blew off the flag of the Southern Army, and many people in ancient times were more superstitious, so when the flag was blown off, they thought that the sky was helping Zhu Di
, which creates a fear of it, in addition
Zhu Di took advantage of the situation and ordered people to light a fire, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind to push the balance of victory to Zhu Di's side
So Zhu Di gathered the Northern Army to launch a general attack on the Southern Army, and Li Jinglong once again collapsed.
Route of the Battle of Yasukuni
Although Zhu Di won the second large-scale war, this was very clever, and if there was no gust of wind, it would be Zhu Di who might have been destroyed.
Due to Zhu Di's contempt for the Southern Army, his plans were disrupted and he was put in a desperate situation, which was just a gust of wind blowing and saved himself, which was also Zhu Di's first desperate situation in a large-scale war.
A similar situation occurred in the third large-scale battle, and a similar incident occurred in the duel with Sheng Yong, and Zhu Di once again won the victory.
A groundbreaking idea
When Zhu Di considered that to capture the capital, he must first fight Shandong (Shandong's army is brave and not easy to defeat), one of Zhu Di's advisers from Daoyan made a breakthrough suggestion for him.
The capture of the capital does not require a frontal capture from Shandong, and it is possible to bypass Shandong and take the capital directly
。 This idea was adopted by Zhu Di, who first broke the army of Ping'an, then took Sizhou and Yangzhou, Chen Bing Zhenjiang, and directly took Nanjing, plus neiying (Li Jinglong and Zhu Sui) in Nanjing, Zhu Di successfully took Nanjing,
Daoyan
Unwilling to do so, Zhu Yunjiao set fire to the imperial palace and disappeared, so he had Zheng He to go to the West.
Zhu Di was able to survive many large-scale wars,
The first reason should be Zhu Yunjiao's holy will - don't let me be accused of killing my uncle
The meaning of this sentence is to tell the combatants that you can catch Zhu Di, but you can't kill him. This directly made Zhu Di a loophole on the battlefield.
The second reason was Providence, which saved Zhu Di from multiple winds
