People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 10 Battle of Jingnan!How brilliant Zhu Di is, how useless Zhu Yunfang is!

Zhu Yuanzhang was now eager to hear Chen Han's words.

He mainly wanted to hear what kind of mistakes his eldest grandson would make.

It would be great if I could help my eldest grandson with the layout in advance.

Although Ling Han couldn't bear to listen.

After all, he is also a civil servant.

If Chen Han said that he had to directly kill certain civil servants to achieve his goal, wouldn't he be the one to chop off the hands and feet of the civil servants?

Zhu Biao consciously wanted to stop him, but seeing his father's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear it and had to listen on the side.

Chen Han didn't know this at all and continued talking.

"There are four main reasons why Zhu Yunwen failed to cut down the feudal vassal.

The first is that the vassalage was cut off too quickly and too harshly, with no reason at all. The king of Zhou and others were directly executed by ransacking their homes on unfounded charges. The even more forced King Zhu Bai of Xiang was unable to defend himself, so he had to burn himself at home to resist.

Such cruelty and ruthlessness made many clan members feel chilled, and it can be said that they completely deserted their relatives.

The second is that due to Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthless attacks, the generals who were able to fight were basically wiped out. The remaining Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong did not have enough prestige in the army, and their abilities were even more questionable.

Especially Li Jinglong, who is known as the first generation war god of the Ming Dynasty. This is not a nice name, but a mockery of his incompetence.

He can be regarded as the biggest loser in the early Ming Dynasty. If Li Wenzhong is the real God of War, then Li Jinglong has disgraced his father. No matter how bad others are, they are just the sons of tiger fathers and dogs, and he, Li Jinglong It's just tiger father shit.

Village chief, let me describe to you in detail Zhu Di's journey from rebellion to success. Then you will know how rubbish Zhu Yunwen's side is. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was nearby and heard Chen Han call his grandson trash more than once.

My heart was in turmoil.

Don't know what to say.

Chen Han said excitedly:

"In July of the first year of Jianwen, when Zhu Di first launched his army, the Yan army only occupied a corner of Peiping and was small and weak. It is estimated that the number of troops was about [-]. Zhu Yunwen had an overwhelming advantage in all aspects.

Zhu Di adopted an internal line of operations and used his general Guo Zi to defend Beiping. He quickly captured Juyongguan, Huailai, and Miyun to the north of Beiping and Jizhou, Zunhua, and Yongping counties to the east. He cleared Beiping's periphery and eliminated all No worries.

On the fifth day of July, Zhu Di defeated Zhu Yunwen's troops deployed in Peiping and conquered Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, Miyun, Juyongguan, Huailai, Kaiping Longmen and other places, thereby consolidating the Peiping base area.

On July 24, with Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen as the general, Prince Consort Li Jian and Commander Ning Zhong as the left and right deputy generals, he led the northern expedition and ordered Shandong, Henan and Shanxi to provide military pay.

On August 30, Geng Bingwen led 10 troops to Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei Province). Commander Xu Kai led 9000 troops to camp in Hejian (now Hebei Province). Commander Pan Zhong stationed in Mozhou (now Renqiu, Hebei Province). , Governor Yang Song led [-] troops as the vanguard to control Xiong County.

Zhu Di took advantage of the undecided deployment of the Northern Expeditionary Army and led his army to take the initiative.

On the night of August 25th, Xiong County was captured and Yang Song's entire army was wiped out.Then he ambushed Pan Zhong's reinforcements and defeated them. On the 3th, the Yan army attacked Zhending and defeated Geng Bingwen's army at the Hutuo River, beheading more than [-] people.Geng Bingwen and his remaining troops entered the city to defend the city.

At the end of August, Zhu Yunwen followed Huang Zicheng's suggestion and replaced Geng Bingwen with Cao Guogong Li Jinglong as general. He led 50 troops to Hejian and planned the Northern Expedition.He also ordered Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, to besiege the city (today's Lulong, Hebei).

On September [-]th, in order to induce Li Jinglong to go deep and break the siege of Horizon, Zhu Di left a small number of troops to defend Peiping and led the main force to aid Horizon.Wu Gao left without a fight, and the Yan division moved down to the level and Shanhaiguan, advanced to Daning (now Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia), and absorbed the troops of King Ning and the three guards of Duoyan.

Li Jinglong learned that Zhu Di was attacking Daning from the north, so he led his troops to besiege Beiping. Unexpectedly, he encountered strong resistance from the Yan division defending the city.

On the fourth day of November, Zhu Di returned to Peiping and fought with the troops left behind. They attacked from inside and outside and defeated Li Jinglong's army in Zhengcunba (20 miles east of today's Beijing), killing more than 10 people.Li Jinglong returned to Texas, reorganized his troops and prepared for a large-scale attack next spring.

On the first day of April in the second year of Jianwen, Li Jinglong led 60 troops from Dezhou into two groups and launched a massive Northern Expedition.

Zhu Di led an army of 10 people to fight.The two armies fought at Baigou River (in today's Xiong County, Hebei Province).After several days of fierce fighting, Yan's army defeated Li's army, killing more than 10 people and taking advantage of the victory to capture Dezhou.

Li Jinglong retreated to Jinan with more than 10 people.The Yan Division followed and pursued Jinan and besieged Jinan. They were stubbornly resisted by Tie Xuan, a political official in Shandong, and Sheng Yong, the governor. The siege lasted for three months, and the rear was threatened by the Northern Expedition, so they withdrew the siege and returned to Peiping.

In September, Zhu Yunwen replaced Li Jinglong with Sheng Yong as the general, and the governors Ping'an and Wu Jie were the deputy generals on the left and right, and launched the Northern Expedition again.

In October, Zhu Di learned that Sheng's army was advancing north, so he pretended to attack Liaodong and reached Tongzhou. He suddenly turned south to attack Cangzhou, captured Xu Kai alive and annihilated more than [-] people.The Yan division advanced to Dezhou and lured and defeated Sheng's army outside the city.Then it went south along the canal, including Linqing, Guantao, Daming, Jining and other places.Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan led the military camp in Dongchang (today's Liaocheng, Shandong) to block the Yan division's return.

On December 25, Yan's army returned to Dongchang and was intercepted by Sheng's army, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties. General Zhang Yu was killed in the battle and was forced to return to Peiping.

In the spring of the third year of Jianwen, Sheng Yong led an army of 20 men to station in Dezhou, while Wu Jie and Ping An stationed in Zhending, acting as horns for each other, waiting for opportunities to attack.In March, Zhu Di led his troops south again and defeated Sheng's army in Jiahe (now Wuyi, Hebei), beheading more than 10 people.

On the 6th day of the third lunar month, Wu Jie and Ping'an's troops were defeated at the Hutuo River, and more than [-] people were beheaded.He succeeded in defeating Zhending, Shunde (now Xingtai, Hebei Province), Guangping (now Yongnian, Hebei Province), Daming and other places.

In order to slow down the army, Zhu Yunwen issued an edict to pardon King Yan's crimes in an attempt to make him slack off; at the same time, he sent troops to cut off his food routes to force him to return north and wait for an opportunity to annihilate him.Zhu Di saw through this plan, and in mid-June, he sent the capital commander Li Yuan to lead 6000 light cavalrymen southward, conquering Jining, Peixian and other places, burning hundreds of military grain ships and millions of stones of grain, and the capital (today's Nanjing) Big earthquake.

In July, Sheng Yong took the Yan division south and ordered Ping'an to lead ten thousand cavalry to attack Beiping; Datong defender Fang Zhao returned to attack Baoding.After Zhu Di heard the news, he led his army back to reinforce him, defeated his army, and returned to Peiping.

In the first month of the fourth year, Zhu Di's army went south, bypassing Jinan, and went down to Dong'a, Dongping, Wenshang, Yanzhou, Zouxian, Peixian, Suzhou, and reached Mengcheng and Wohe (in today's Anhui).

On March 4th, he set up an ambush at Feihe River and defeated more than [-] Sheng troops who followed.

In April, Yan Shi garrisoned Xiaohe (now Suihe River in Anhui).He Fu, the commander-in-chief of the southern general, led his army to support the north and joined Ping'an. The army was very strong. The two armies fought at Qimei Mountain (in today's Lingbi, Anhui). The Yan division suffered heavy losses and the morale of the army was shaken.

At this critical moment, Zhu Yunwen summoned Xu Huizu's troops to return to the capital. The frontline strength was sharply reduced, and He Fu was forced to retreat to Lingbi.The Yan army quickly cut off its food routes, took the opportunity to attack, defeated He Fu and Ping'an's troops, captured 10 of them, and captured Lingbi.

At this point, Zhu Yunwen's main force north of the Huaihe River has been basically lost.

In early May, the Yan Army took advantage of the victory and advanced southward, breaking through Shengyong's Huaihe River defense line in one fell swoop, and even defeated Xuyi, Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Taizhou, Yizhen (today's Yizheng, Jiangsu) and other places.

On the third day of June, the Yan Division broke through the Yangtze River defense line of Sheng Yong and Xu Huizu from Guazhou, and even defeated Zhenjiang and Longtan.

When Zhu Yunwen heard the news, he hurriedly promised to cede territory for peace.Zhu Di refused.On the [-]th, the Yan army arrived at the Jinchuan Gate of Nanjing. The guard Li Jinglong and the king of the valley Zhu Sui opened the door to welcome the surrender. Zhu Yunwen burned himself in the palace and died. As soon as he left and became a monk, Zhu Di became the emperor and changed his name to "Yongle". "
