Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 113 Jianwen is panicked

In addition, Zhang and Xie were killed, leaving the group without a leader for a while, and Zhang Yu took advantage of this.

Except for Peng Er and a few others who resisted tenaciously, within one day, Beiping's nine gates lost eight in a row.

With only the last one left, Zhu Di asked his subordinate Tang Yun to pretend to be Emperor Jianwen's order, saying that the emperor had agreed to King Yan's conditions and that Peiping would be unified under the command of King Yan.

The soldiers did not know what was going on and surrendered in confusion.

At the same time, Zhu Xi also killed the Inner Ying Ge Cheng, Lu Zhen and others of the court of Yan Wang Changshi, eliminating the internal hidden dangers after a few days.

At this point, Zhu Di took complete control of Beiping City, issued orders to all the secrets he had laid before, and began to launch raids on all important towns around Beiping Mansion.

Compared with the indecisiveness and hesitation of Jianwen's emperor and ministers, Zhu Di's coup was intensive, compact and clean.

After taking Peiping, Zhu Di, on the advice of Bai Chu, Old Monk and others, personally commanded the army and went directly northward, sweeping through Juyong Pass, Zijin Pass, Huaihua and other places.

By the time the imperial court received the news that Zhu Di was in trouble for peace and had raised troops to start an uprising, Zhu Di had already captured Tongzhou and conquered Fang Sheng.

By conquering Jizhou again, killing the commander Ma Xuan, conquering Shanhaiguan, and surrendering Xu Kai, we basically cleared the entire perimeter of Peiping.

Now the important passes such as Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan and Zijingguan behind Zhu Di are all guarded by Zhu Di's troops, blocking all the passes to the outside of the pass.

Even if the vassal kings outside the pass, such as King Ning and King Liao, want to return to the pass, they have to look at Zhu Di's face.

The most important thing is that when Zhu Di defeated Fengtian Jingnan, he showed the ancestral precepts of Emperor Ming:

"" There is no positive minister, and there are rape in the inside, then the prince trains the soldiers for standby, and the emperor's secret king leads the town soldiers to the town. "

This means that Zhu Di did not raise an army to rebel, but Qingjun side. For the sake of the people of the world, to purge the court, and for the sake of the current emperor, he had to take this strategy.

The news of Zhu Di's rebellion soon spread throughout the country through the petition against thieves.

For a moment, all the eyes of the people in the world were focused on Beiping, and they were worried. They didn't know what would happen to King Yan, a brave and capable vassal king.

As for whether Zhu Di can succeed in his rebellion? Everyone is not optimistic about this. The reason is very simple.

Zhu Di used a small area to fight against the entire Ming Empire, and he was destined to be defeated. You must know that Zhu Yunwen had an army of millions.

And Zhu Di, at most 100,000 people, is already the limit of Peiping.

The seventh day of the first lunar month in the first year of Jianwen.

The news of Zhu Di's rebellion finally reached Yingtian Mansion and reached Zhu Yunzhen's ears.

Memorials like snowflakes came to the capital from all directions, and everyone had the same opinion:

Zhu Xi was arguing that he would die, and he would not be able to properly punish him.

Ironically, most of the memorials here were sent by vassal kings from various places.

Do these people think that showing their loyalty at this time will make Zhu Yunwen let them go?

It can only be said to be too naive. Zhu Yunzheng put all these memorials in the brazier. In his opinion, this kind of memorial could not explain anything, but would waste his time.

Looking at the civil and military officials standing with His Highness, Zhu Yunwen had a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice:

"Now my fourth uncle, under the guise of Emperor Taizu Gao, openly kills officials and rebels. What do you think I should do with him?"

"Your Majesty, I think that King Zhu Di of Yan is plotting to usurp the throne, which is an unpardonable crime."

"The King of Yan should be immediately deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner."

"Together with his family, you should be beheaded!"

"We can send a large army to encircle and suppress him immediately. We must not let Zhu Di be so arrogant."

All the ministers knelt down to express their opinions. Generally speaking, Zhu Di deserved to die and be cut into pieces.

However, the civil servants danced the most happily. Although the generals expressed their loyalty, they did not seem to be so active.

After all, Zhu Yunwen favored civil servants and despised military personnel, which made many military commanders and relatives very dissatisfied. But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and they dare not show it at all.

Zhu Yunwen was someone who dared to kill even his own uncle, and he would not show mercy to a general or a close relative.

Seeing that the attitude of all the ministers was so unified, Zhu Yunwen's face became a little better and he directly issued an order:

"In this case, I will immediately issue an order to deprive King Yan of all official positions and titles and demote him to a commoner."

"I have decided to personally command an army of 500,000 people and march on my own. I will personally capture my fourth uncle and return him to Tianfu. I will make him kneel in front of Emperor Taizu Gao and repent."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Zhu Yunwen actually wanted to lead the expedition in person.

You must know that Zhu Yunwen has no experience on the battlefield. If he gives random orders on the battlefield and causes the army to be defeated, wouldn't everyone finish it together?

Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and remonstrated:

"Your Majesty, Zhu Di is just a clown, why does the Emperor need to do it himself?"

"We only need to send a general from the army to capture him."

"Your Majesty's body is worth thousands of dollars, and you should not venture into danger lightly. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

After all, Qi Tai was also a person who had participated in the war. He naturally knew the cruelty of the war and how serious consequences it would have if a layman commanded the war.

If Zhu Yunzheng really wants to go to the front line, I am afraid that the 500,000 army will collapse immediately.

Because Qi Tai knew very well how powerful Zhu Di was. After all, Zhu Di had been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and had guarded Peiping for 18 years. He had made great military achievements and was the best among all the kings.

Play with such a person, you must find someone who can be ticked with him, so as to eliminate Zhu Xi in one fell swoop.

Seeing Qi Tai's advice, Huang Zicheng also stepped forward and said:

"What Mr. Qi said is reasonable. The emperor has many things to do every day. Zhu Di is just a rotten fish. We cannot delay national affairs because of him."

"I recommend Li Jinglong to take command and lead an army of 300,000 people to the north. He will surely capture Zhu Di in one fell swoop."

Li Jinglong can say that there is already a trend of the first generation God of War.

Ever since Zhu Yunwen cut down the vassal, he found that all the vassal kings he asked Li Jinglong to arrest were unsuccessful.

In Zhu Yunwen's heart, the weight of Li Jinglong gradually increased.

But now, Li Jinglong is still far away in Yunnan, escorting King Min back to Beijing, and there is no time to attack Zhu Di.

"Li Jinglong is still in the south. This matter is inappropriate."

Qi Tai knew that troops were valuable and fast, so how could he delay the best time to march because of Li Jinglong?

If Zhu Di is allowed to gain a foothold in Peiping or Hebei, then the north and the south will be in a tug-of-war. This is not what Qi Tai wants to see.

Therefore, Qi Tai recommended a person to Zhu Yunwen. He believed that this person would be able to defeat Zhu Di and completely solve the trouble of the feudal king.

Fengtian Temple.

Everyone in the magnificent hall was trembling with fear.

Now that the New Year has just passed and officially entered the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen thought that this year would completely enter his own era.

He will also go smoothly, flatten all the vassal kings, wipe out the world, and restore a bright future to the Ming Dynasty.

What he didn't expect was that on the first day of the new year, he received news of the rebellion of Yan King Zhu Di.

This made Zhu Yunwen furious, and he planned to personally lead an army of 500,000 people to the north to conquer Zhu Di.

Fortunately, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others persuaded him, and then Qi Tai recommended a person to Zhu Yunwen. This person would definitely be able to defeat Zhu Di and capture Zhu Di back.

Zhu Yunwen quickly asked who it was, and Qitai said loudly:

"The Marquis of Changxing, Geng Bingwen."
