Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 310 If you can't take care of King Qi, you can't take care of King Han?
[The world is in turmoil, and the situation is changing. After Huguang was captured, the morale of the army you led was high, and you sent troops to Nanjing immediately. 】

[Perhaps this is not the best time to attack Nanjing. The city of Nanjing is high and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now your army's morale is strong. If you fail to attack, it will surely fail. Why not go south and annex the southern provinces first, and then go to Nanjing . 】

【However, in the end you chose to attack Nanjing first, and the reason is very simple. If there is no Nanjing as the core, your army of more than [-], and the five provinces it occupies will be like a moon in the water without roots. 】

【You don't need Nanjing, but your army needs Nanjing. 】

[Two capitals and thirteen provinces, Nanjing and Beijing are the backbone and spiritual banners.Since ancient times, it is easy to conquer from the north to the south, but not easy to conquer from the south to the north. Even if you occupy the land of the five provinces, at most you can be regarded as a separatist warlord. It looks brilliant and powerful, but in fact it is only a short-lived dazzling. 】

[But if you can occupy Nanjing, you will be sublimated from a separatist warlord to a hero who is qualified to compete in the world. 】

[Send troops!Nanjing! 】

At this moment, even Zhu Di couldn't help frowning.

From the perspective of military tactics, after occupying the five provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Huguang, the most important thing to do is to stabilize the foundation and cultivate vitality to prevent the army from being exhausted due to too frequent wars.

But if it is from a kingly point of view, it is the best time to send troops to Nanjing at this time.

The way of war emphasizes military affairs, and the way of kingship pays attention to people's hearts. The way of war looks at temporary benefits, while the way of kingship looks at the country.Viewed from the kingly way, although according to the five provinces, it looks like a show of teeth and claws, it is actually just a mirage, a dream.If Lien Chan and Lian Jie can barely maintain the hearts of the people, but once the battle is defeated, the entire army will be defeated, one is because there is no place to stand, and the other is because the hearts of the people are uncertain.

But if Nanjing is occupied, morale will be greatly shaken, and everyone will have a backbone in their hearts, and feel more at ease.For Zhu Gaoxuan, he may not need this kind of steadfastness, but his soldiers do.

If you advance, you can go north to usurp the country, and if you retreat, you can stick to the south of the Yangtze River. As long as Nanjing is occupied, even if Emperor Hongxi is the emperor, he will be greatly moved.For Emperor Hongxi, even if King Qi occupied the five provinces, it was no big deal.

Emperor Hongxi only needed to stabilize the imperial power first and unify the discourse power of the northern provinces, and then he could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to fight the rebellion southward.Emperor Hongxi is not an idiot like Emperor Jianwen, he is a general himself, with full confidence and support.

This Emperor Hongxi looks chubby and stupid. In fact, apart from political means, he is also good at using soldiers. Elite soldiers and horses, become famous in one battle!
However, if Nanjing is lost, it is completely two concepts.

It has not been a few years since the capital was moved to Beijing. In people's minds, Nanjing's status is no less than that of Beijing, and even for officials and aristocrats, Nanjing's status is higher than that of Beijing.Once King Qi occupies Nanjing, it will directly threaten Emperor Hongxi's imperial authority.

At that time, it is hard to say whether Emperor Hongxi will still be the emperor of Fengtian Chengyun. People's hearts are shaken, and he has no advantage to speak of as an emperor.

The turmoil of people's hearts is better than thousands of troops.

He thought he was already professional enough in rebellion, but he didn't expect that there would be someone more professional than him!
What is frightening to think about is that this person who is extremely talented in rebellion is still his own son, the prince he chose.

"If the fourth child rebels, can I stop it?"

Zhu Di stroked the gray beard on his chin and fell into deep thought.

If the time is pushed back five or six years, he must be confident.But now that he's old, people don't care about him anymore...

[At the beginning of November in the 22nd year of Yongle, you took 19 Qishi and attacked Nanjing. 】

[Mu Xin, the captain of the attached horse guarding Nanjing for Emperor Hongxi, conspired late at night with the eunuch Wang Guitong. Mu Xin is the fifth son of Qianning Wang Muying, the younger brother of Mu Sheng, and the husband-in-law of your fifth sister, Princess Changning.Compared with Emperor Hongxi, this person is obviously closer to you. After all, he is from the Mu family, and the current head of the Mu family, Mu Sheng, has rebelled with you, and he is your right-hand man. 】

[Emperor Hongxi appointed Mu Xin to guard Nanjing just after he succeeded to the throne, which shows his trust in the Mu family.But what he never expected was that within a few days, the Mu family rebelled along with King Qi.And letting Mu Xin guard Nanjing is undoubtedly digging a big hole for himself and lying in it. 】

[However, it was too late to change coaches before the battle. After Mu Xin learned that the Mu family had rebelled with King Qi, his mind changed. He knew that no matter whether he was loyal or not, Emperor Hongxi would doubt him, so he made a decisive decision. At the beginning, the connection between Nanjing and Beijing was cut off. 】

[The current Nanjing is one that listens to calls but not announcements. 】

【Emperor Hongxi was so anxious that the situation was out of his control.He wanted to concentrate on controlling Nanjing, but Hanwang was swaying in front of him like a flea, disturbing his peace. 】

[If you concentrate on dealing with the King of Han, Nanjing will not be guaranteed.If it is Baonan, the King of Han may stab him in the back. 】

[But at this time, he has no time to think too much, he has no time to hesitate, he must make a choice immediately, otherwise not only Nanjing will be lost, but the backyard may also catch fire. 】

[Emperor Hongxi made up his mind and ordered Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince, to go to Nanjing to stabilize people's hearts. At the same time, he ordered Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, to go to Shandong to suppress the rebellion and suppress the King of Han. 】

[This is the best way to achieve both, and it is also the most stable strategy at the moment. However, life is always full of surprises. 】

[After Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, led his troops into Shandong, he fought and won victoriously, and he felt arrogant in his heart.Arrogance is a taboo for military strategists. 】

【The king of Han can't wait any longer. He knows that if King Qi occupies Nanjing, he will be the weakest of the three powers in the world. How can he bear it with his character. 】

[Liu Sheng led his troops to attack Le'an, but encountered a surprise attack from the King of Han. The rebel army died from arrows, and the imperial army was defeated. After this battle, the imperial court completely lost its control over Shandong. 】

[Emperor Taisun Zhu Zhanji returned the same way before arriving in Nanjing. 】

【Before he arrived, Nanjing was lost. 】

[19 soldiers of the Qi division approached the city, Mu Xin and Wang Guitong saw King Qi's cape, opened the Jinchuan Gate, and declared their allegiance to King Qi.Tens of thousands of elite troops from Nanjing surrendered without a fight. 】

[When Nanjing was lost, Emperor Hongxi lost the southern provinces while losing Shandong. 】

【All the world is shaking! 】

[If we say that in the past, no one took King Qi’s rebellion seriously, because the name was too unfamiliar. If there is no accident, there should be only a few records of you in the future Ming history, for example: "Qi Wang, taboo Gao Xuan, was born on December 24, 24th year of Hongwu, the fourth son of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, and his biological mother was Empress Xu of Ren Xiaowen. In the 12nd year of Yongle, he attempted to commit treason, was captured and returned to the capital, fell into the water and drowned..."]

【Even when you conquered five provinces, they just thought you were capable, and the little grasshopper could still jump, but in their hearts, your threat might not be as great as the King of Han. 】

【However, it’s different now, you’ve captured Nanjing. 】

[Half of the Ming Dynasty is held in your hands, just like the King of Yan Zhu Di back then, even better! 】

[Yan Wangjing has been in trouble for more than two years. Although he has won many battles, he is unable to consolidate and expand his victories due to insufficient troops. He often abandons new lands. Yongping three counties. 】

[As for you, you have actually controlled five provinces and one capital. After capturing Nanjing, you have more than [-] troops, and people are constantly surrendering their loyalty, and your power is expanding.As a rebel, the problem of food and grass that you should be most worried about has also been resolved at this time.After Nanjing was captured, it was only a matter of time before the remaining southern provinces that had been annexed were captured. 】

[The ones who should really worry about the shortage of food and grass should be Emperor Hongxi and the King of Han. 】

Zhu Di couldn't help admiring: "It is worthy of being the crown prince appointed by me. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, and a mouse's son can make holes, and even the ability to rebel has been passed down... Wait a minute, it seems that something is not right."

He chuckled and shook his head. Although the fourth son seemed to be rebellious and had a cold and ruthless personality, as the person who knew his son best in the world, he knew very well that the child did not rebel at all. thoughts.

In other words, for the fourth child, ascension to the throne is not a pleasure, but a responsibility.

The person sitting on the throne bears the fate of the entire empire on his back. He is the helm of the empire. To lead this giant ship to the sea where the sun never sets, the fate of everyone is entrusted to him alone. He must Always be sane, sober, and wise.

Getting him to rebel is really harder than going to heaven.

But in the imitation of the commoner Zhu Gaoxuan, it was completely done by the royal family themselves, and it was forced by King Qi.

It is also a skill to be able to force such a lazy and desireless prince back.

[After Nanjing was captured, everyone in the world was terrified. 】

[It was only then that they realized that Zhu Silang, a commoner who has been willing to hoe and cultivate the fields in Yunnan for more than ten years, really has the ability to breathe the wind and rain from the bottom of his heart! 】

[You take Nanjing as the Qi division's base, expand your wings to the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, look at the north covetously, live near the Yangtze River, you can attack and defend, you can go to the Central Plains to fight for the deer, and you can use the Yangtze River as a natural barrier when you retreat. With an army of more than [-] troops, and two generals, the Duke of Guizhou Mu Sheng and the Duke of England Zhang Fu, as his right-hand men, they have already stood at the top of the empire, and they will not fall against the wind. 】

【You are the emperor of this empire. Although you have not been crowned yet, you have already begun to clean up the rebels who have humiliated you, punished the enemies who resisted you, washed the country with blood with swords and spears, and paved the way for yourself with corpses. A bright red ascent to the gods! 】

[With the blood of the king, all the ministers apologize! 】

[Your army has not even fully started the road to regain the south, and all the prefectures in Nanzhili have surrendered.Immediately after, Jiangxi and Zhejiang also began to respond one after another, calling on the common people to praise the great name of King Qi. The family members all emptied their homes to collect money from Master Qi, and the officials also surrendered one after another, taking Jiangxi and Zhejiang without bloodshed. two provinces. 】

[The last two brothers from Guangdong and Fujian also know that they are alone and helpless now. It is pure nonsense to expect the court to rescue them. Anyway, King Qi is also from the Zhu family. Didn’t the elder brother say it all? When the destiny comes, we can't go against the sky, and it's over. 】

[So far, you have completely included the nine southern provinces and one capital in your pocket. 】

【Emperor Hongxi of Beijing fell into deep thought when he heard that the south had fallen completely. 】

【He had planned before that the first thing he would do after he ascended the throne was to move the capital from Beijing back to Nanjing non-stop. Now it seems that the whole south is owned by King Qi. 】

[This is too outrageous. Emperor Hong Xi recalled the memory of his fourth brother in his mind, but he really couldn't think of any bright spots. 】

[In his impression, his fourth brother is an all-round genius, proficient in cooking, medical skills, calligraphy and painting, poetry..., but it is limited to this. This is indeed a genius, but he is also a weak boy, unable to even lift a sword , let alone lead troops to fight. 】

【His relationship with King Qi is neither good nor bad, he is his twin brother after all.But when the old man hated King Qi, King Han was hostile to King Qi, and even King Qi was about to be deposed as a commoner and exiled, he didn't lend a helping hand. 】

[Actually, he could have helped King Qi at that time. Even if he couldn’t keep King Qi’s title, he could live a wealthy life in Yunnan without worrying about food and clothing. But he hesitated again and again. The first emperor also wrote it down, and simply ignored it. 】

【Although he is benevolent, he has come all the way from Jingnan. He has gone through the baptism of party struggles and political struggles. There is no real good person. In the face of big right and wrong, he knows how to choose. 】

【Thinking back now, if he had extended a helping hand at that time, would King Qi still rebel today? 】

【Emperor Hongxi doesn't know, maybe, the hesitation back then was the worst choice he made, he should be ruthless and eradicate it! 】

[Even if it is to bear the infamy of killing blood relatives, or to be evil with the British, it is always better than the world falling into war. 】

【Emperor Hongxi didn't think too much about it, he settled down, the most important thing is to protect the country that is now only half left, and he locked his eyes on the King of Han in Shandong. 】

[If it wasn't for the King of Han jumping around under his nose, preventing him from concentrating on dealing with King Qi, it wouldn't be so easy for King Qi to annex the South. 】

[Simply a bastard! 】

[It’s fine if King Qi rebelled, but why did you, the King of Han, also rebel against you? Don’t you have any strength in your heart! 】

[I can't beat King Qi, and I can't deal with you, a King of Han? 】

[Emperor Hongxi ordered Prince Zhu Zhanji to lead one hundred thousand troops to Shandong to suppress the rebellion, and send troops immediately! 】

【Now he needs to get rid of Han Wang, a bastard who likes to jump around and die, so as not to mess up his mind, and at the same time...】

[The imperial court also needs a big victory to appease their demoralized people. 】

【As for the King of Han, he undoubtedly hit the edge of the knife himself. 】
