Later, in September, the imperial court promoted the Ming Shandong Bu Political Secretary Zuo to participate in politics: Tie Xuan, as the "Shandong Zuobu Political Envoy", and changed the command of the Ming Shandong Capital: Sheng Yong, instead of the Ming Cao Guogong: Li Jinglong, to continue to resist the southern invasion of the Yan army.

At the beginning of December 8, Ming An Luhou: Wu Jie, the military governor of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the Northern Parallel Governor: Ping'an, the defense of the two of Dingzhou, the commander of the eastern Ming Dynasty was stationed in the newly recovered Dezhou Wei, and the Ming Wanquan commanded the envoy: Xu Kai, the troops were in Cangzhou, and the three sides were fighting each other.

The Yan army first attacked Cangzhou and captured the commander of the Ming Wanquan capital, seized its baggage and advanced to Jiningwei, the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty immediately led the army to be stationed in Dongchang Mansion to intercept the back city of the formation, the prince of Ming Yanwu led the army to ride the iron cavalry to the left flank of the Ming army in Shandong, but the Ming army in Shandong changed the formation and was not afraid of danger.

Then the Yan army rushed to its middle army, the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty commanded the very confident open queue to let the Yan army in, and then used the soldiers to gather the layers of surrounding, the main general of the Yan army: Zhang Yu, the Yan army Beiping commanded the affairs: Zhu Neng, led the Wuliang Ha three guards cavalry to rescue, and the Ming Yanwu prince met desperately to break through.

But the commander of the Yan army did not know that His Royal Highness Prince Yan had been rescued, and he was still rushing to kill in the formation, and finally exhausted himself and was surrounded by the spear team of the Ming army, and fell off his horse and died, at the age of 58!

Led to the defeat of the Yan army, many Yan troops were injured by the Ming army's firearms, only the Ming Yanwu Prince with hundreds of cavalry palace, can safely retreat to Shandong Chengxuan political embassy Tao County, but still Ming Shandong Commander sent an order Ming An Luhou, Ming Northern Parallel Command envoy from Zhending Mansion to intercept the Yan army's return.

However, when he returned to the imperial court after the victory, he was disgusted and angry by Ming Huizong, because he had forced to kill a twelve-emperor uncle, Prince Mingxiangxian: Zhu Bai, and now if he was killing the fourth emperor's uncle, Prince Yanwu: Zhu Di, then he would be a sinner for the ages!

Therefore, he issued an edict to go to the front line, which made the Ming army who surrounded and suppressed the Yan army a little confused? One of his holy decrees: "I want to see my living uncle and bring it to heaven." ”

As a result, Prince Ming Yanwu escaped many sieges, and it was Ming Huizong's kindness that finally pushed the court into the abyss.

In the first month of 1401 in the third year of Ming Jianwen, because the Ming army did not dare to besiege the Yan army too much, the Yan army was able to breathe, and the imperial court had to reactivate the Ming army after the discussion of the military department: Qi Tai, Ming Hanlin Academy scholar: Huang Cheng, the official was reinstated to stay in the court to participate in politics.

Followed by Ming An Lu Hou and Ming Bei Parallel Commander made the two lose in the battle of Shenzhou, the Yan army was able to return, in this battle the elite of the Yan army was almost lost, fortunately the Ming Shandong commander arrived in time to repel the Yan army, and Ming Huizong personally won the victory for this temple.

In March, the Yan army went south out of Baoding Mansion again, and the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty camped in Jiahe, and was recklessly attacked by the cavalry of the Prince of Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty to explore the plundering array and sneak attack the side camp, so angry that the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty immediately sent a thousand cavalry to pursue, and was repelled by the Yan army's archery.

After the battle between the two sides, Ming Shandong commanded the army to advance with shields, Prince Yanwu of Ming ordered the infantry to attack first, and the cavalry took the opportunity to advance rapidly.

And the left army of the Yan army commanded the envoys: Zhu Neng, Yan Jun Wanquan all commanded the same knowledge: Zhang Wu, and other generals also led their troops to fight to the death, and the prince of Ming Yanwu crossed the position with light cavalry to meet with the commander of the left army of the Yan army, and the reinforcements of the Ming Shandong capital commanded the Ming Xixing capital commander: Zhuang De, the commander of the Ming Henan capital: Soap Banner Zhang, and other generals were killed, but the Yan army also suffered heavy casualties and was almost defeated in this day.

The next day, the Yan army was in the northeast, and the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty commanded the envoy in the southwest, and the two sides won and lost each other from the morning to the afternoon, and when the two armies were tired, the soldiers sat down to rest.

Then the battle began, suddenly the northeast wind rose, flying dust covered the sky, the Yan army shouted left and right to attack in the wind, and the Ming Shandong commander made the defeat and fled back to Dezhou Wei was depressed, and the Yan army Shandong commanded the matter: Li Yuan, burned the Ming army's grain ships in Pei County, so that the Ming army lacked food and did not dare to send troops easily.

The Yan army was able to continue to organize the army to go south on a large scale, defeat the commander of the eastern capital of the Ming Dynasty to Yu Hutuo River, and then defeat the Ming An Luhou Yu Gaocheng.

At that time, although the prince of Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty won many victories, but also suffered heavy losses, and the imperial army was quite extensive, there was no need to worry, the Yan army commanded the envoy in the northern parallel capital, and the city captured by the political envoy in Shandong Chengxuan, and after the army withdrew, it was occupied by the imperial army.

In May, the Liaodong Ming army of the imperial court went south to besiege Yongping Mansion, and the Yan army Shanhaiwei commanded Wu Xingwang and the Yan army Funingwei commanded Gu Xiang and defeated them.

At that time, the Yan army stationed in Songlinzhuang and Gaojiazhuang in the county confronted the Liaodong army for 80 days, and continued to advance with the Yan army Kaiping Wei Baihu: Chen Hua, who died in Liangerzhuang.

In November, the general army of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty: Yang Wen, attacked Funingwei, but was defeated by the Yan army! In the same month, he commented on the merits of defending Yongping Mansion in the palace of Prince Yan, and all non-commissioned officers were promoted to one level.

At the end of December of the same year, a minister from Gyeonggi sent a letter from the Jingshi to the northern parallel capital to command the envoy to report the secret, so that Prince Ming Yanwu learned that Yingtianfu's troops were empty and could make a big plan, so he decided to change his strategy and attack south.

In the fourth year of Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, in the first month of 1402 A.D., Prince Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty led his division to bypass Shandong Chengxuan, and the political envoy of the Jinan Mansion went south from Dongchang Mansion.

In April, the Yan army even broke the left army of the Ming Dynasty, the left governor of the capital: He Fu, the Ming and Northern parallel commanders: Ping'an, and the two Ming troops crossed Henan Chengxuan political envoy Si Runing Mansion into the central capital to stay in the boundary of Si Fengyang Mansion.

In May, the Liaodong Army of the imperial court attacked Yongping Mansion again, and the Yan Army Fu Ningwei commanded the envoy to lead troops across the Xiaoling River to Shibalipu to repel the Liaodong Army, and the meritorious officer was promoted to one level.

Even Li Fangyuan, the king of Jing'an Jun Gongding County, Taizong of the Li family, and the Marquis of Wei Wanhu of the Northern Ming Dynasty Jianzhou, who had just controlled the Jurchen tribes in the territory of Liaodong Du, also returned to Prince Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty, so the Yan army dared to go south with confidence after relieving their worries.

Subsequently, in the battle of Lingbi County, Fengyang Prefecture, the prince of Ming Yan, led the army to attack the grain and grass of the Ming army from the rear, and commanded the envoy in the parallel capital of the Ming Dynasty to capture the Ming Dynasty alive in the middle of the army: Ping'an, only the Ming Pingyan general: Sheng Yong, led the army to the south to line up the warships on the south bank of Huaishui alone.

The governor of the Yan army, the governor of the Chinese army, knew the same thing: Qiu Fu, secretly crossed the Huai River and appeared behind the Ming army, pinned down the Ming army, and fought so that they could not support it and had to retreat to the Yangtze River, and when the Yan army crossed the Huaishui from Xuyi Prefecture to attack Yangzhou Mansion, General Yan of Ming Ping led the army to resist in Liuhe Town and Puzikou Patrol Division but failed.

Among them, the governor of the Ming Right Army's Governor's Office: Chen Yan, personally led the naval division to surrender to the Yan army, allowing the Yan army to cross the river by taking advantage of the situation, and the Ming army hastily gathered sea ships to meet the battle at Gaozi Port and the defeated army was dispersed.

Then the Yan army conquered Sizhou, Yangzhou, Huai'an and other places, forcing Ming Huizong to hurriedly send Ming Qingcheng, the county lord of Ming Qingcheng, who was the cousin of Prince Ming Yanwu: Zhu Gongqian, into the Yan army camp to negotiate and try to cede land and make peace with Prince Ming Yanwu, but Prince Ming Yanwu did not allow it.

Because after these four years of tug-of-war, Prince Ming Yanwu also analyzed the situation, as long as Ming Huizong reigns for one day, the local army across the country will resist for a day, and he will always be a traitor, but if once he captures the imperial city of Yingtianfu and drives away Ming Huizong, then he can become the king of a country, and I believe that not many people dare to oppose it?

Because everyone was waiting and seeing, the Yan army went all the way south, and the Jianwen court at that time was already in chaos, and many local generals did not move to watch the fire from the other side

On June 11, the Yan army successfully crossed the river to Zhenjiang County, and approached the imperial city of Tianfu, and Prince Xuan of Minggu: Zhu Lu, and Ming Cao Guogong: Li Jinglong, were forced to open the Jinchuan Gate and surrender, so that the imperial city completely fell.

Prince Ming Yanwu: Zhu Di, after entering the palace, he saw a raging fire in the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs ran around, and no one in the entire palace dared to resist, and Ming Huizong was missing?

In this case, Prince Ming Yanwu began to sit on the dragon throne with confidence and boldly announce the abolition of the "Jianwen 4th year" year name, changed to "Hongwu 35 years" and said that he inherited the throne of his father, Ming Taizu Wu Wang Hongwu Gao Emperor instead of his nephew Ming Huizong Jianwen Rang Emperor's throne, and locked Ming Huizong's second son: Zhu Wengui in Guang'an Palace.

At this point, Prince Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty, who wanted to ascend the throne, asked the Doctor of Literature of the Ming Han Academy of Literature: Fang Xiaoru to help draft the edict of enthronement, but he fell to the ground in grief and mourned, and the sound of crying spread all over the stage and the stage of the main hall of Fengtian Temple.

Prince Ming Yanwu walked down the steps of the couch to comfort him, and said, "Sir, don't bring sorrow on yourself, King Gu just intends to imitate the intention of Duke Zhou to assist the king." ”

Who knew that after hearing this, the doctor of the Ming Hanlin Academy asked, "Where is King Zhou Cheng?" ”

Prince Ming Yanwu said: "He died." ”

Dr. Ming Hanlin asked again, "Then why don't you become the son of the king?" ”

Prince Ming Yanwu replied, "The country depends on the adult king. ”

Then Dr. Ming Hanlin said, "Then why don't you become the king's younger brother?" ”

Prince Ming Yanwu immediately replied, "This is our Zhu family's business, Mr. is too much to worry about, right?" After finishing speaking, he turned back and motioned to the attendants on the left and right to give Fang Xiaoru a pen and paper, and said, "The edict to the world has to be drafted by you, sir." ”

Unexpectedly, Dr. Ming Hanlin Yuan threw the pen directly to the ground, crying and scolding, "Die and die!" Such an edict must not be drafted by the old man. ”

This move directly angered Prince Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty, and he ordered the Dr. of the Ming Han Academy of Forestry to be pushed out to Xuanwumen to split the car at the entrance of the vegetable market, and also asked the Jinyi guards of the Fusi of the North and South Towns to capture the ten clans of the Fang family and behead them.

On July 17th, when there was no opposition inside and outside the court, Prince Yanwu of the Ming Dynasty began to be crowned in the Fengtian Temple, and went to the Taimiao Temple to worship the emperor, and changed the following year to "Yongle" and the history of the "Ming Taizong" He also ordered a vigorous search for the Ming military department Shangshu: Qi Tai, Ming Han Lin Academy scholar: Huang Zicheng, and other Jianwen courtiers more than 50 people, and also abolished all the laws and official systems formulated by Emperor Taizu during the Jianwen period, in order to show that the purpose of his army was to restore the ancestral training.

In 1403 AD, the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Taizong of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Di, ordered to appease the feudal kings who were cut by Ming Huizong and affected by the Battle of Jingjing to stabilize the domestic situation, and also said that he was different from the emperor's nephew Ming Huizong, and successively restored the Prince of Ming Zhouding: Zhu Hu, Prince Jian of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Gui, Prince Minzhuang of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Ling, and other princes.

Among them, Ming Huizong's third brother Ming Wumourning Prince: Zhu Yunxi, the fourth brother of the emperor Ming Henghan Prince: Zhu Yunxi, the fifth brother of the emperor Ming Xu Jian: Zhu Yunxi, the three of them were demoted to the county king by Ming Taizong before they were vassal (Ming Guangze County King: Zhu Yunxi, Ming Huaien County King: Zhu Yunxi, Ming Fu Huijun King: Zhu Yunxi) and abolished the three county kings as concubines on the grounds that they could not Kuang Zheng Ming Huizong, and put the Ming Guangze County King and Ming Huaien County King under house arrest in both of the Yingwuwei of Si Fengyang Mansion, leaving only the Ming Huijun King alone to enshrine the spiritual seat of the Ming Yiwen crown prince.
