Zhu Yunjiao did not want to adjust at first, but in the end he wanted to adjust but did not have to adjust.
At first, Zhu Yunjiao was in charge of the whole country's army, and Zhu Di did not have 100,000 troops as mentioned in the title, but he only had 800 soldiers.
If Zhu Di had an army of 100,000, he wouldn't be able to survive by pretending to be crazy and stupid. Zhu Yuanzhang had already formulated measures to restrict the development of the king of the clan when he established the system of kings of the clan, and all the officials of the domain were selected and sent by the emperor.
If Zhu Yunjiao could give the order to kill Zhu Di at the first time, perhaps the Battle of Jingkang would be nipped in the bud.
01
Zhu Yunjiao was big and missed the opportunity
For Zhu Yunjiao, the first time he ascended to the throne, he had not experienced the baptism of war, and he had cleaned up a few of his uncles several times before, without any effort, and also made Zhu Yunjiao have an illusion: the world's affairs are not erer.
Since he had collected a few small clan kings and tried their knives, and this time he took the opportunity to take down Zhu Di, a rather powerful clan king, the matter of cutting the clan was also declared complete.
Therefore, Zhu Yunjiao needed to rely on this matter to prove himself, and in order to keep a good reputation, he also issued an order "Don't hurt my uncle" by the way.
That is, this order, to a certain extent, became a rope around the neck of Emperor Jianwen, and Zhu Di relied on this command, just like the gods under the heavens, to rush and kill on the battlefield, as if there was no man's land. He even covered the retreat of the army behind his own palace, which undoubtedly greatly increased the morale of the Yan army.
Zhu Di desperately tried to survive, and Zhu Yunjiao blindly supported the big, a one-sided game, and even played a rollover.
02
Zhu Di made history
Zhu Di was the only person in history who the prince raised an army to overthrow the lord, which was a miracle in history. The reason for this result is that Zhu Yunjiao's attitude of treating war as a child's play accounts for a large part.
In war, it has always been you who live and die, but in order to flaunt his justice, he threw out the order not to hurt Zhu Di's life early.
Zhu Yunjiao was the emperor, and when the emperor said it, it would not be easy to change. This caused the generals and soldiers fighting in the front to avoid Zhu Di, fearing that if they accidentally injured Zhu Di, they would kill themselves.
Watching his brothers around him being slashed and killed by the Yan army, but he could not move a single hair of the enemy's main general, this undoubtedly greatly reduced the morale of his own army.
Moreover, in order to allow Zhu Yunzhuo to succeed him smoothly, Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out Lan Yu and other generals through several major cases, leaving Zhu Yunjiao with only Geng Bingwen, who was good at defense.
Geng Bingwen has never done the job of a manager, but he is especially good at defense, and if Zhu Yunjiao can use this well, the simple consumption will also consume the Yan army to death.
However, Zhu Yunjiao sent the veteran general Geng Bingwen on a campaign. Geng Bingwen nominally carried 300,000 troops, but in fact only a few hundred thousand, and he originally wanted to disperse the army around Beiping City and wait for the arrival of follow-up troops. However, at this time, zhu Di took the lead in hitting a wave.
After that, Zhu Di lured Geng Bingwen to a decisive battle with himself, and in the process of Geng Bingwen's gathering of a large army, he once again launched an attack on Geng Bingwen's army, achieving victory in the early stage of the war and also boosting his own morale.
But even so, Geng Bingwen quickly gained a foothold, put on a defensive posture, and did not lose a city, only losing more than 30,000 people.
However, this situation was considered by Emperor Jianwen to be the reason for Geng Bingwen's inability, so he changed horses and replaced him with Li Jinglong.
Facts have proved that Li Jinglong is not a young talent, but a straw bag general and a clumsy disciple.
As a result, Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops unexpectedly attacked Beiping City, which was defended by Zhu Gaozi's thousands of troops. If he could defeat Peiping City, then Zhu Di's road after that would be difficult.
Just when Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaozi were in a stalemate, Zhu Di led his army back to reinforcements, and Li Jinglong was defeated in the Battle of Zhengcunba, and Zhu Di picked up hundreds of thousands of troops in vain. Li Jinglong originally came to suppress Zhu Di, but this time it was good, he became the captain of the transport brigade and fed the Yan army to a full stomach.
However, Zhu Yunxiong still chose to believe Li Jinglong, and in the following year, Li Jinglong led his troops to resist the enemy, and at the Battle of Baigou River, Li Jinglong lost Emperor Jianwen's main army. But even though Li Jinglong was so incompetent, Emperor Jianwen still spared Li Jinglong's life. This gave Li Jinglong the opportunity to surrender Kaesong to meet Zhu Di.
03
Emperor Jianwen issued a trumpet to the king, but no one came to save him
Seeing that Zhu Di was fighting more and more troops, and even his main forces were all gone, he couldn't care less about any facelessness. Therefore, he appealed to the kings and generals stationed elsewhere to come to the king of Jingqin, but no one responded.
The vast majority of the Ming dynasty's armies were concentrated in the hands of the kings of various places, and what Zhu Di did was something they wanted to do but did not dare to do.
Before Emperor Jianwen cut the clan and caused people to die, causing everyone in the clan to endanger themselves, Zhu Di also had to do it as a last resort.
The other clan kings also saw Zhu Yunjiao's face clearly, but instead had illusions about Zhu Di, and on an emotional level, they preferred Zhu Di to succeed in rebellion.
If Zhu Yunjiao sent troops to destroy Zhu Di before the two sides went to war, they might be under pressure and would obey orders, but when Zhu Yunjiao's main force was gone and the defeat was decided, who would foolishly go forward to support it?
Perhaps, waiting and waiting has become the best choice, in their own posts, the town guards the border, the Zhu family fights themselves, for them, whoever becomes the emperor is the same.
The funny thing is that Li Jinglong, the captain of the transport brigade, actually took the initiative to open the gate of Nanjing City when Zhu Di attacked and welcomed Zhu Di into the city, and I don't know how Zhu Di felt when he saw Li Jinglong open the gate.
In this way, Emperor Jianwen tossed his throne away, and his whereabouts became a mystery, his life and death were unknown, and he paid a price for young people.
04
Sum up
Emperor Jianwen played a good hand of cards, resulting in the embarrassing situation of no soldiers to send in the end, the main reasons can be roughly summarized as the following points:
First, the order of cutting the clan was wrong, and the human life was taken, causing everyone to endanger themselves, and Zhu Di had to sacrifice his life to survive;
Second, blindly entrusting the big one, shouting out the slogan of not hurting my uncle, causing the soldiers in the front to be controlled by others everywhere;
Third, the employment of people is improper, Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong have made up their own old books;
In the end, Emperor Jianwen made a move and pushed people's hearts to his own opposite, even if he nominally controlled the army of the whole country, but in fact he could not use any soldiers, and he was already quite good without a single blow.
