"Speaking of wars, the famous one is Ping'an Nan, who fought in Mongolia five times!"

"In the first year of Yongle, King Annan sent an envoy to pay tribute. The envoy said that the original King Annan was dead and had no heirs. The current king was the grandson of the old king. He was elected by everyone to temporarily manage state affairs, so Zhu Di issued an edict to confer him."

"In the second year of Yongle, Pei Boqi, an old minister of the former King Annan, fled to the Ming Dynasty and reported to Zhu Di the situation of the Li family usurping the throne in Annan. Soon after, Chen Tianping, the younger brother of the former king, also fled to BJ."

"In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent 5000 troops to escort Chen Tianping back to Annan. Unexpectedly, the King of Annan arranged an ambush to kill Chen Tianping, and also killed the Ming soldiers who escorted him."

"Zhu Di is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!"

"Zhu Di's whole life has been his conspiracy to harm others. This time, he is so cunning and cunning that he actually fell into someone else's trap."

"In July of the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di appointed Zhu Neng as commander-in-chief and sent 80 troops to attack Annan. Zhu Neng died of illness on the way, and Zhang Fu took over the army."

"The Ming army pacified Annan with overwhelming force. Afterwards, Zhu Di issued an edict to search for the descendants of the Chen family. Unfortunately, the Chen family was extinct. So Zhu Di issued an edict to change Annan's name to Jiaozhi, merge it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and establish the Chief Envoys' Department and the Inspector's Envoys' Department. And the capital command and envoys are responsible for the management."

"Another war led to Zhu Di being called the "Emperor on Horseback." He spent his whole life in political warfare."

"At the beginning of Yongle, Mongolia had been divided into three tribes: Wasi, Tatar and Uliangha."

"The Tatars are relatively powerful, but their khan was lost because of Benya. The actual ruler, Taishi Arutai, is ambitious and attempts to reunify Mongolia and compete with the Ming Dynasty."

"In February of the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent an envoy to Tatar to ask for peace, but was rejected and the envoy was killed."

"Zhu Di was very angry when he heard the news. In July of that year, he sent [-] troops, led by Qiu Fu, to attack the Tatars. Because Qiu Fu underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, the Ming army was ambushed and the entire army was wiped out."

"Zhu Di decided to go on an expedition in person. In February of the eighth year of Yongle, Zhu Di led an army of 50 to the expedition. On May 7, Zhu Di and Benya Shili met at the Hannan River. Zhu Di personally went into battle and defeated Benya Shili and [-] cavalry. The men and horses fled."

"On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, Zhu Di met the Arutai army in Feiyun Valley. Arutai escaped after falling off his horse during the battle. The Ming army severely damaged the Tatars. Due to the lack of food, Zhu Di issued an edict to his troops. After that, the Tatars declared themselves vassals to the Ming Dynasty."

"After the Tatars weakened, the Waqi tribe took the opportunity to rise and threatened the Ming Dynasty's borders."

"In March of the 12th year of Yongle, Zhu Di led a 30-strong army to personally conquer Mongolia for the second time. The army met the Waci army in Hulanhu, and Zhu Di gave a vivid military lesson to the Wacha army and severely damaged the Wacha army. Second In the year, Wa Ci paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty to apologize."

"After several years of recovery, the Tatar tribe became strong again, so they betrayed the Ming Dynasty and became enemies of the Ming Dynasty again."

"So Zhu Di conducted three more northern expeditions in the 20th, 21st and 22nd years of Yongle. However, because the Tatar Arutai adopted a strategy of avoiding fighting, Zhu Di failed to achieve his military goals in these three northern expeditions."

"Although the Five Conquests in Mongolia consolidated the border areas, they also led to an empty treasury. Zhu Di led hundreds of thousands of troops on each expedition, spending countless money and food."

"Seeing the achievements that Zhu Di has completed, he can be called a hero of the previous generation. Regarding his past, it was almost because he came from an improper position and was too cruel."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Lao Si, tell me, you are good at using force, but why can't you defeat Mongolia?

Zhao Kuangyin: When this foreigner becomes emperor, it is always a failure.

Zhu Di: It’s not your Zhao Kuangyin’s descendants who did it, and you still have the nerve to say it.Qianlong: You know that if you take the position unfairly and attack people, Emperor Yongle should not be the emperor. The Ming Dynasty may die after the second generation, and Emperor Jianwen has no ability, and he is still allowed to be the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Why can’t my grandson survive?

Kangxi: Tsk tsk tsk!You can't see the powerful fourth child. Tiantian, dear, your grandson, you are so stupid as the heir!

"Let me talk to you about Emperor Jianwen. When it comes to choosing his successor, Zhu Yuanzhang did get the wrong person."

"If you want to talk about Emperor Jianwen, you have to talk about the "Battle of Jingjiang" that affected the whole process. This Emperor Jianwen was about the same level as Zhu Youjian. He wanted to make a contribution, but he lacked ability and had little thinking. The policy was not implemented yet, just like cutting off a pan, it was Zhu Di who finally completed it."

"But he was still cautious during his time in power. This is a bit like Zhu Youjian. His reign was short, and he was actually not even close to Zhu Youjian. This man can be called a " mediocre king "!"

"This "Battle of Jingjiang" is actually a stain on Zhu Di."

"Zhu Di's position as emperor did not come from inheriting the throne, but from launching a military coup. This may be a stain that can never be erased."

"The situation was similar to that of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, but the difference was that Tang Taizong Li Shimin launched the "Xuanwumen Incident", killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and succeeded to the throne. Although he did not inherit the throne, it was somewhat gratifying because Li Jiancheng was the If the emperor says so, the people of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be in dire straits."

"On the contrary, Li Shimin relied on his own abilities to create a prosperous era in the Tang Dynasty."

"The victim of the "Battle of Jingjiang" launched by Zhu Di, Zhu Yunwen, was a loyal, honest, weak and bullied figure, so he was very sympathetic."

"But Zhu Di's cruelty to Emperor Jianwen's former ministers after he ascended the throne was also terrifying and criticized."

"Not only the old ministers, but also some of the maids and eunuchs in Emperor Jianwen's palace met a good end."

"According to historical records, during Zhu Di's seizure of power, a total of 4000 Zhu Yunwen's old subordinates and their families were killed."

"It is reported that there was a minister who really couldn't stand it, so he sent a remonstrance. As a result, the minister's lip was cut off directly, and nearly 900 people from his nine tribes and students under his name were implicated. Since then, no one has sent a remonstrance. "

"And some ministers who disobeyed Zhu Di's control were directly cooked to death in oil pans, and their deaths were horrific."

Fu Hao: It’s a bit similar!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Fourth brother, you are so cruel!I don’t want to make Yun Wen the emperor. I have no choice. I can’t make Zhu Biao the emperor either!Am I still unclear about my grandson’s character?He is just weak and honest. You, fourth brother, have already taken the throne. How could you kill them all so cruelly?

Zhu Di: If the prince can't do it, don't you have any other sons?snort!

Liu Che: There is something wrong with what Zhu Yuanzhang said. Since the fourth child has succeeded to the throne, there must be the eldest brother, second child and third child. You also have many sons, right?Why can't you choose a son if the prince is not good enough and your grandson is not good? You are excluding all your sons!The one from the Qing Dynasty was right, but it's really not good for you to be chosen as the heir.
