The Battle of Jingnan was a far-reaching change in China's history, and it was precisely because of this change that Zhu Di, the only time in China's history, sat on the throne through rebellion. It can be seen that Zhu Di can be described as the first person in the history of Chinese rebellion, transforming from a king of the clan to becoming Ming Chengzu.
The reason why Zhu Di was able to rebel so successfully was because his opponent was his nephew Zhu Yunjiao instead of Zhu Biao, in other words, if Zhu Biao did not die early, then Zhu Di would never dare to rebel, and even if he rebelled, he would only fail and would not succeed.
Zhu Yunjiao was the emperor's grandson on the throne, and after becoming emperor, he began to constantly dismiss the king of the domain. Zhu Yunjiao's way of dismissing the king of the clan was not a step-by-step advance, but almost at the same time, the spearhead was pointed at all the clan kings.
Seeing such a momentum, the kings of the clan became agitated one by one, and at this time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, began to rebel against the inhumanity of emperor Zhu Yunjiao against the king of the clan. At this time, the rebellious Zhu Di had a large number of people's hearts, and those who won the hearts of the people had the opportunity to succeed. Zhu Di, who had the opportunity, rewrote the history of the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne as the emperor's grandson and had no basic power of his own.
In this way, the decisions he made as emperor basically had no supporters. When Zhu Yunjiao carried out such a rebellious plan to dig his own grave, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was a attitude of not caring about himself and hanging high. The young and vigorous Zhu Yunjue only wanted to do a career, but did not make a complete plan for this cause, so his own basic strength became his biggest constraint.
But if these things were handled by Zhu Yunjiao's father, Zhu Biao, they would have different results. Zhu Biao's time as crown prince was very long, during which time he was not only helping the emperor to handle government affairs, but also constantly cultivating his own basic forces. If Zhu Biao did not die but inherited the throne, then his basic strength was his backing, just like Wei Zheng died and tang Taizong would also have loyal courtiers that the young Zhu Yunjiao could not compare.
Zhu Yunjiao's own ascension to the throne was too sudden, which was also a major reason for his failure as emperor in the end.
Zhu Biao, who had helped the emperor deal with the government for decades, was already familiar with the various relationships in the government. Therefore, even if he wanted to withdraw the domain like Zhu Yunjiao, he would use a gradual process to make the major clan kings accept it. In this way, even if Zhu Di had an anti-hearted desire to rebel, there was no mass base and no one supporting him, so how could he succeed if the people who lost the hearts of the people lost the world? Zhu Yunjiao's quick success and quick profit are something that Zhu Biao will not choose, and naturally his chances of winning are greater.
In other words, for Zhu Di, if everything went well, no one would use a harsh way to shake his power as a vassal king, and it was estimated that he would not want to rebel. Although Zhu Di's rebellion was successful, his habit of conquering the north and the south remained unchanged. Zhu Di made successive conquests after Ming Chengzu, which made the people miserable and the people of the country were not happy.
It was precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty was quickly taken down by Nurhaci. If Zhu Yunjiao's father, Zhu Biao, had succeeded him, then history might have changed, and the Ming Dynasty would not have perished so quickly.
But history has no choice of reincarnation, and there is no if, and all we can do is accept all historical facts.
