according to huayun's wechat WeChat official account records! Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. He was first granted the title of Prince Yan and guarded Beiping (now Beijing). After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he passed on the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen, and his title was built. Worried that Zhu Di, the prince of Yan, rebelled, Zhu Yunwen arrested and demoted Zhou Wang, Min Wang, Xiang Wang, Qi Wang and Dai Wang as common people in an attempt to weaken Zhu Di's power. In the first year of his reign, Zhu Di was forced to arise and call himself "Jing Nan". Due to the misjudgment of Huang Zicheng under his command, the extremely low military ability of Li Jinglong, the commander in chief, and the help of Yao Guangxiao, a famous monk under Zhu Di, he broke through the capital (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) and seized the throne, and changed the title to Yongle. Yongle moved its capital to Beijing in the 19th year, with Nanjing as its capital. In his 22 years in office, Ming Chengzu made great efforts to govern the country and took many enlightened and powerful measures, which made the country prosperous.
Ming Chengzu took a series of enlightened and powerful measures, and he was good at military affairs. In addition to relieving the captaincy and consolidating the central political power, he repeatedly marched in Mobei to resist foreign aggression and hit the Mongolian aristocratic forces, and won great victories. Nuer Gan Dusi was set up to govern Heilongjiang, Wusuli River, Songhua River Basin and Sakhalin Island, which made China quite prosperous at that time. What made him world-famous was Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean, which reached the east coast of Africa as far as possible, and communicated China with Southeast Asia and countries along the Indus River. During his reign, "Weide was taken as a guest in all directions, and those who were ordered to pay tribute by the DPRK were almost thirty countries, covering a vast territory, far away from Han and Tang dynasties."
since childhood, Zhu Di has been dealing with Li Wenzhong, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and learned from them with an open mind, and witnessed the tragic battlefield with his own eyes. The intrigue in the court and the intrigue for "power" and "profit" made him gradually mature and become wily. For the first time, he became the commander-in-chief of the army, and Nair, the commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, fully demonstrated his military talent and strategy without spending money. He first ordered several squadrons of light cavalry to secretly detect the position where Nair didn't spend, and then made a decision to March in the sudden snowfall. After arriving at the enemy camp, he ordered the army to cook and camp, forcing Nair to surrender without spending any money, and annihilated the main force of the North Yuan without a single soldier. When victory was just around the corner, when he showed his chance, Zhu Di chose to give up, temporarily, in the face of the glory he was about to gain, which was enough to show his endurance and restraint. "Simple possession is cleverness, and temporary abandonment is great wisdom." The bright moon said that year.
during the period of Zhu Di's uprising, he designed and led out Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and captured Duoyan Sanwei, one of the strongest cavalry units under Ning Wang, the Mongolian fighters mercenary, which was even more powerful for Zhu Di, who was recognized as the strongest cavalry general at that time. Finally, Li Jinglong, the two spies in Beijing, and Zhu Chu, the king of the valley, surrendered in Kaesong, and Zhu Di breached the capital and ascended the throne. Zhu Di's military ability during the Jing Nan period was not very outstanding. The best part should be his personal expedition to Mongolia.
In the seventh year of Yongle, the Mongolian Tatar tribe killed Guo Ji, the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di sent Qiu Fu to lead an expedition of 1, troops. Qiu Fu rashly marched into the ambush of the Tatar army, and 1, troops were wiped out. So Zhu Di put on his armor again and used his personal expedition. He defeated Benyashili and Arutai, who fled separately, and moved troops back to Korea. After the defeat of Tatar, Mahamu, the leader of the Mongwa thorn tribe, made a public provocation to Daming with the capital of the killer-cavalry, and Zhu Di led his troops to make another expedition of 5, troops to eradicate Waci. He also thought about the way to deal with the Waci cavalry. If he confronted them head-on, Daming's cavalry would be defeated, so he took a special army with him. After the war, Waci retreated one after another, and Zhu Di got the news that Mahamu was ahead, knowing that Mahamu must have an ambush, and still moved forward. Mahamu specially chose this battlefield-the land suddenly lost its temperature. There is a mountain near here. Mahamu hid the cavalry on the mountain. When the Ming army arrived, it rushed down through the mountain and washed away the appearance of the Ming army. The Ming army became fragmented and sacrificed. Unfortunately, Zhu Di will not come and stand at the foot of the mountain for you to rush. Zhu Di also observed the terrain. The decisive battle is coming! When Mahamu found that the Ming army was headed by infantry, he was happy to laugh. Needless to say, the cavalry restrained the infantry, so Mahamu immediately ordered: All troops charge! Thirty thousand cavalry went out together, and suddenly it was dusty and screaming. Just as the cavalry was about to kill in the Ming army, the former infantry of the Ming army retreated on the left and right wings, and another army of the Chinese army appeared. They were holding the ware at the magic camp of the Waci cavalry! However, the Waci cavalry did not stop and continued to charge. I found something strange on the Maha Trojan horse waiting in the distance, and shouted at the cavalry at the top of my lungs: "Amazing machine camp! Get back! "Rushed in the mood where the cavalry to see, even if heard it was too late. At the command of Liu Sheng, the commander in chief of the Chinese army in the Shenji camp, the soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and the first volley beat the Waci cavalry upside down. The cavalry behind simply fight to the end and rush forward! The camp stopped after only one round of shooting. The cavalry were overjoyed, but the camp retreated directly. The left, middle and right three roads rushed out of a large number of cavalry and rushed directly to the Waci cavalry, which launched a fierce battle. The Waci cavalry was attacked by the Ming army three roads, and the battle was scattered. Mahamu never dreamed that his cavalry had become fragmented and fled. The Ming army pursued while winning. It's okay that the Waci cavalry who is still riding a horse is chased by the Ming cavalry, and it will not catch up for a while. If the horse is knocked down, it will be miserable. Waiting for you are all hundreds of thousands of infantry except the Shenji battalion and the cavalry battalion! It is their task to wipe out the defeated soldiers. Mahamu saw that the situation in the rear was not good, and immediately took the lead to escape, and all the tile cavalry collapsed. Ming army, halfway tile thorn also turned around and fought back, was hit by the Ming army, and was defeated, turned and ran again, Mahamu left the others to slip the fastest.
The Ming army won a great victory in this battle and returned home in triumph. By analyzing this battle, we can understand Zhu Di's talent in military affairs. The first is the protagonist of this battle-Shenji Camp. This was an arms that did not exist in the early Ming Dynasty. It was a special forces organization set up by Zhu Di, which used firearms, such as ware and artillery, and had a very high status at that time. There are also some Ming generals who are good at using firearms, such as Deng Yu and Mu Ying. Deng Yu only used firearms earlier, and it was Mu Ying who really exerted the power of firearms. At that time, the ware was powerful, but it also had a fatal defect-it could not be filled with gunpowder, and it took a long time to fill it, which made the initial ware ignored. Mu Ying is the commander of Yunnan, and his infantry can't fight with the elephant soldiers of local ethnic minorities at all, so he developed a set of tactics of ware. In fact, the method is also very simple. The soldiers are divided into three rows. After the first row is fired, they retreat to the end, the second row is fired, and then they retreat to the end, and the third row is fired. In this way, the ware troops have a continuous fire output, and the incoming enemies are all screened. Such tactics did not immediately spread to the army, because Mu Ying was guarding remote Yunnan, but its value could not be denied. This tactic was discovered by the king of Prussia hundreds of years later, thus dominating Europe. Mahamu originally took the initiative and set an ambush to ambush the Ming army. As a result, he was mainly opposed to the enemy, not relying entirely on the magic battalion. The reason for his success should be that Zhu Di's tactics of "joint tactics of the three armed forces" and "joint tactics of the three armed forces" were simply the three camps of the Ming Dynasty: the 3, battalion, the 5 th battalion and the magic battalion. They represent three arms: cavalry, infantry and musketeers. Zhu Di rationally assigned three arms, which made it exert great power. The method is briefly described as follows: musketeers use guns to fight and bombard, and when they are finished with cavalry, they will break the enemy lines. Finally, the infantry will use sea tactics to clear the battlefield. The cavalry with strong impact was defeated by this tactic. According to textual research, the cavalry of the Ming army at that time did not use machetes or horse cutters, but maces. Mace has a long pole and a wide range of attack. It was originally a blunt object, with nails and barbs attached to it. When it was beaten to death, a layer of skin was scraped off. What's more, the cavalry's goal was not to kill the enemy, but to make it impossible to escape or lose its combat capability, because all the killers were the infantry behind, and a group of people could step on it and die. The victory of the Ming army included the crystallization of the sweat of our Comrade Zhu Di and countless military researchers. The author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was also very appreciative of this tactic, and named it "The Three Axes Fighting System for Your Life", which means simple and clear. Having said that, it may not be enough to show the greatness of this tactic and Zhu Di's military talent. I'll come up with some sufficient reasons. This tactic is not unprecedented, and many people have developed it later, all of which are similar. For example, Napoleon, more than 3 years later, was a little more advanced in tactics, and most of the marines were replaced by artillery bombing. With this tactic, he won most of Europe. There is something even stronger, that is, Hitler of Nada. He and the general Gurion * * * made the same research results: first, they bombed with planes, then rushed with tanks, and finally, they fought and won many battles, occupying most of Europe, North Africa, East Asia and Pacific islands, and gave this tactic a better name "Blitzkrieg". It's a pity that when Napoleon fought Russia and Hitler fought the Soviet Union, it was all bad weather. When it was cold, the soldiers' combat effectiveness decreased, and some even froze to death. The snow hindered their progress and lost the essence of tactics-speed. Moreover, Russia was too wide. Today, if we win this city, the second city will be on guard tomorrow. Without suddenness, both of them will fail here. Of course, this tactic was very useful in the Ming Dynasty. When you lost the city, you would have been defeated by others. This tactic invented by Zhu Di has a great influence on future generations. This alone is enough to show that Zhu Di is a military genius!
To sum up, Zhu Di has grown into an excellent military commander under the guidance and actual combat of many loyal ministers and fierce generals, and his military abilities, such as strategy and adaptability, are not inferior to those of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, who can be described as a generation leader with many achievements, our great Yongle Emperor!
