Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, made his children and grandchildren captives, and the power of captives became more and more powerful. Due to the early death of Prince Zhu Biao, Emperor Sun Tai Zhu Yun succeeded to the throne, and the title was his. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his cronies, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, took a series of measures to cut the vassals and decided to cut the smaller prisoners first, so they first attacked Zhu Bian, the king of Zhou, abandoned him, detained him in Datong, imprisoned Zhu Chu in the capital and set himself on fire. At the same time, troops were deployed around Beiping and in the city to prevent the name of the border, and the guards of Judy, the fourth son of Ming Taizu, were transferred to guard the Great Wall, ready to destroy the Prince.

Wen Jian thought he was ready, so he secretly ordered the capture of Judy, but it didn't work. In addition, the measures to reduce vassals seriously threatened the interests of vassals. 1399, Judy in Beiping set out to the south, which was called "the Battle of Jingnan" in history.
Looking back on the whole "Jingnan Campaign", Judy's rapid success is somewhat difficult to understand. After all, Wen Jian is the son of heaven, and Judy is a rebellious teacher, leading an army of 800 people against the empire in a corner. However, in just three years, it was turned upside down. It is really puzzling that Wen Jian, with justice, imperial power, financial resources and military power, was defeated by an out-and-out traitor.
In fact, this is also a matter of course.
Indeed, on the surface, Judy's rebellion is extremely rebellious, and everyone must be punished. However, the moral power of world justice is based on interests. Without the backing of interests, any moral precept can only be an empty slogan. The struggle between Judy and Wen Jian is neither a life-and-death struggle between ethnic groups nor a major adjustment of the whole social interest pattern, but an internal struggle between the top management of the ruling group.

Whoever wins or loses does not affect the interests of the vast majority of members of society. Ministers are well aware that the world belongs to the Zhu family anyway, as long as the master's surname is Zhu. As for ordinary people, even your surname Zhu doesn't care. Whoever has the strength will obey. As long as there is a bowl of rice to eat, I will call you long live. So from the beginning, not many confederate generals were willing to fight hard for Zhu Zhu's infighting. Especially after the prince won several victories in a row, few people seriously resisted, and more people paid attention to the wind direction and prepared to fall to the stronger side. When the prince attacked Zhang Deshi, the garrison commander Zhao Qing refused to surrender at first. He said to the prince, after you go to Beijing, just give me a small piece of paper two fingers long, and I will rush over and do as you say, but I dare not drop it now. This represents the position of quite a few people.
The discerning man soon saw that the prince had a better chance of winning. It is interesting to compare the consulting teams in Rebecca and Wen Jian. The prince of Yan doesn't like scholars very much, but he pays attention to recruiting some strange people, so most of his advisers are monks and magicians, and they look neither fish nor fowl. In fact, these people concentrated the wisdom of the people, and they were many times more powerful than those scholars and advisers of Emperor Wen Jian.
The little emperor and his advisers, though all knowledgeable, are actually resourceful and indecisive. Wen Jian handed over the face-cutting incident to Qi Taihe and Huang Zicheng, and devoted all his energy to the retro reorganization. All day long, he discussed with Fang Xiaoru how to change the official system, reduce the punishment and govern the country with righteousness according to Zhou Guan, and also discussed with relish how to implement the mining field. These nerds are really stupid and cute.

At the beginning of the war, Judy also adopted a slow and steady attitude. His idea is to conquer the world step by step from north to south. But in Shandong, he met the stubborn resistance of two of his most effective generals, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong, who fought fiercely for several months and suffered heavy losses, so he could not go any further. At this moment, Judy suddenly had a brain teaser: Why did he have to deal with the Southern Army in Shandong? If we bypass Shandong and go directly to heaven and sit on the throne of the emperor, wouldn't it be known all over the world?
As soon as the idea appeared, Judy was excited from failure at once. He reorganized his army and went south across the border of Lu Yu, even breaking through Dong 'e and Wenshang, all the way like bamboo. After Xuzhou, facing the Huaihe River, Yan Jun's strategy is never to fight hard. Attack if you can. If not, just walk around. Soon, the enemy will come to the gate of heaven.
