Zhu Chenhao gathered tens of thousands of troops, known as 100,000 troops sent to Nanjing, the forward troops also soon arrived in Anqing, as long as Anqing was laid, then Nanjing will be in no danger to defend, and then it is likely to be captured by Zhu Chenhao in one fell swoop, and Nanjing as one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the land of Taizu's Longxing, if it is occupied by Zhu Chenhao, it will have a great impact on the military heart and the people's heart of the Ming Dynasty.

At this dangerous moment, Nanjing hurriedly issued a distress message to various places, especially Ningbo and Songjiang, Songjiang Mansion is the original Sihai Governor's Palace, although the establishment of the Governor's Mansion has been abolished by Zhouzhong, but the naval school is still there, in addition to Shanghai New City is also developing very rapidly, in order to ensure the safety there, Songjiang is stationed with an elite army of tens of thousands of people, and Songjiang is not far from Nanjing, so it is the most suitable object for help.

As for Ningbo, at the same time and related to the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, Shuangyu Port has been classified as a port area with Ningbo Port, forming the largest port along the coast of Daming, where there are also a lot of troops, and although the new prefect of Ningbo Wu Wending is a Jinshi, but he is very brave, not only skilled in bow and horse, familiar with military books, but also attaches great importance to military affairs, is a small number of civil officials in both civil and military talents, so as long as Ningbo and Songjiang are willing to send troops, then King Ning is not worried.

After receiving the urgent document from Nanjing, the officials of Songjiang and Ningbo did not dare to slack off, after all, this is not an ordinary trivial matter, but a rebellion of the vassal king, if someone dares to delay at this time, I am afraid that someone will definitely be labeled as a thief in the future, which is a crime of extermination, so Songjiang and Ningbo also immediately sent troops.

Among them, Songjiang Prefecture is the closest to Nanjing. Therefore, the local garrison immediately rushed to Anqing to assist in the defense, with the addition of these 10,000 elite soldiers. In addition, Anqing is another strong city, and those bandits and thieves gathered by King Yining may all die under Anqing City, and it will be difficult to break this strong city.

Wu Wending is both civil and military, and after he received the urgent document from Nanjing, he also expected that the army on the other side of Songjiang would definitely rush to Anqing, and he would definitely be able to ensure that Nanjing would have no worries, and if he also rushed to Nanjing with the army. On the one hand, the distance is far away, and on the other hand, it can't help much, and even he and the army of Songjiang Prefecture are not subordinate to each other, so maybe there will be some contradictions.

It was precisely with these in mind that Wu Wending finally decided not to go to Nanjing, but to lead the army to the west, all the way to Nanchang, the nest of King Ning. Because Zhu Chenhao took most of his troops away to attack Nanjing, Nanchang's troops were quite weak, if he could capture Nanchang in one fell swoop, then Zhu Chenhao would be dealt a huge blow, and maybe even force the other party to return to help, and then he would ambush halfway. You can definitely beat the other party to a big defeat.

Wu Wending sent troops to Nanchang, and spread the news that he was going to attack Nanchang in a very high-profile manner along the way, but when they arrived in Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao, who was already besieging Anqing, also received the news, which surprised him. immediately prepared to abandon Anqing and return to Nanchang.

But King Ning's move was a taboo for soldiers, since the soldiers were dispatched. If it is in vain, it will definitely cause a serious blow to morale, plus they are rebelling again, if they fail to conquer one or two important towns of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, it will definitely make the morale drop again, so Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng around King Ning are desperately trying to dissuade King Ning, telling him that his morale can be boosted, if he withdraws at this time, I am afraid that not only can not save Nanchang, but also make the army exhausted.

It's a pity that Zhu Chenhao is not his ancestor Zhu Quan, although he is good at scheming, but he doesn't know anything about leading troops, and he doesn't have the decision of a commander, so he didn't listen to the dissuasion of his advisers at all, and finally insisted on retreating to Nanchang with a large army, which also made the siege of Anqing immediately resolved.

Zhu Chenhao did not listen to the dissuasion, he had already laid the root of his defeat, when his army was still halfway, he had already received the news of the fall of Nanchang, which made Zhu Chenhao shocked, hurriedly stopped the army, and considered whether he should continue to save Nanchang, or turn around and kill Anqing?

It's a pity that the Ming army didn't give Zhu Chenhao time to think about it, not long after his army stopped, the Songjiang army that was supposed to aid Anqing suddenly killed from behind Zhu Chenhao's army, and it was also a sneak attack at night, which resulted in a great defeat of Zhu Chenhao's army.

As the so-called disaster is not a one-way street, Wu Wending also received the news of Zhu Chenhao's return after conquering Nanchang, so he led the troops to prepare to ambush the other party on the way, but he didn't expect to meet Zhu Chenhao's defeated army, which made him overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and the Songjiang soldiers in the rear were flanked before and after, and finally the rebels collapsed.

Zhu Chenhao saw that the general trend had gone, and immediately asked people to kill all his concubines, originally he wanted to kill his son, but before his own soldiers could do it, he was surrounded by Wu Wending personally leading the army, and finally from Zhu Chenhao down, all the princes of the king, as well as Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and others were all captured.

Zhu Chenhao and others were captured, which also marked the end of King Ning's rebellion, and it took only a month from King Ning's army to his destruction, but although a month was short, it caused heavy disasters to the people in Jiangxi and other places, especially most of King Ning's army were some bandits and thieves, so where their army passed, it was almost ten rooms and several empty, not only the people's money was plundered, and even many people were coerced as thieves, and many people were ruined for this family.

Just when Wu Wending and others quelled the rebellion of King Ning, Zhou Chong, who was far away in the capital, was also distressed about this matter, he was not worried about King Ning's rebellion, the army in the south was enough to suppress the rebellion, but Zhengde, who was just about to return from the grassland, heard the news of King Ning's rebellion, and immediately accelerated to rush back, and now the people have arrived in Xuanfu, and Zhengde also sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Chong, asking him not to rush to destroy King Ning, he will personally lead the troops to pacify, and he will personally ask King Ning, He didn't do anything wrong to him, so why did he rebel?

It turned out that the historical Zhengde was full of farces when he pacified the rebellion of King Ning, for example, Wang Shouren had obviously quelled the rebellion and captured King Ning, but after Zhengde arrived in Nanjing, he actually let King Ning go, and then led his troops to arrest King Ning again, and finally stayed in Nanjing to play in the mountains and rivers, and never went back.

It has been said before that after the death of Emperor Xiaozong, King Ning has been playing the role of father and brother in Zhengde's feelings, for this elder who is not a few years older than himself, Zhengde's feelings for him are actually very deep, originally with Zhengde's shrewdness, he should have noticed King Ning's movements, but Zhengde himself has not been willing to believe, so he connived at King Ning in every way, but he didn't expect that in the end King Ning still rebelled, which caused a great blow to Zhengde.

It was also betrayed by King Ning, a father and brother-like elder, so Zhengde insisted on going to Nanjing to quell the rebellion in person, mainly because Zhengde wanted to ask King Ning in person, why did he rebel? As for Zhengde's absurd behavior along the way, it is also a kind of venting of Zhengde's pain.

Now Zhou Chong's crossing has changed the history of the Ming Dynasty, but his emotional impact on historical figures is not very great, such as Zhengde's feelings for King Ning, and he was not greatly affected because of him, which also made Zhengde after receiving the news of King Ning's rebellion, his spirit was also greatly hit, but he was trained by the army, and his psychological endurance was much stronger than before, so he quickly cheered up, and then accelerated to Nanjing to quell the rebellion, and even when passing through the capital, he did not enter the capital to see Zhou Chong and the cabinet, Ran directly to Tianjin and took a boat to Shanghai.

For Zhengde's move, Zhou Chong and the cabinet have long been accustomed to it, and can only help Zhengde deal with the aftermath while ordering the southern army to speed up the pacification of King Ning's rebellion, although Zhengde said that he would personally quell the rebellion, but the rebellion is a matter of great losses every day of delay, plus Zhengde has not officially issued a holy decree, and even if it is a holy decree, the cabinet has the right to reject this kind of chaotic order.

Fortunately, Wu Wending and others worked very hard to quell the rebellion, and before the order of the imperial court was issued, Zhu Chenhao had been captured, and when the news reached the imperial court, Zhou Zhong and the cabinet were relieved, and they were indeed a little worried that after Zhengde arrived, King Ning had not been pacified, and if Zhengde led the army to be hot-headed and did something, the imperial court would not be easy to clean up.

With the suppression of Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, some people who colluded with Zhu Chenhao in the DPRK and China also began to liquidate, such as Qian Ning, who was bought by Zhu Chenhao, not only provided intelligence to King Ning, but also handed over Jiangxi's Jinyi Wei to King Ning, which was simply bold, so at the same time as Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, Qian Ning was arrested and imprisoned.

In addition, there was Lu Wan, who was the secretary of the Ministry at the time, when this person was in Jiangxi as an envoy, he colluded with King Ning, and later after entering the court, it was a convenient door for King Ning, and even several impeachments of King Ning by officials in Jiangxi and other places were suppressed by Lu Wan, it can be said that the reason why King Ning was able to run rampant in Jiangxi for so many years, Lu Wan has indelible contributions.

In addition to Qian Ning and Lu Wan, there are also some eunuchs in the palace, as well as some middle and low-level officials in the court, all of whom are related to Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, and as a result, these people were all arrested and imprisoned, although Zhou Zhong felt that some people were just greedy for money and provided some information for King Ning, which was not a big crime, but the cabinet thought that the crime of rebellion was a big crime, and all those involved must be punished heavily, and as a result, these people were either killed or exiled by demotion and exile, and finally a total of more than 400 people were disposed of, although it was not as big as several major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, But in the Zhengde Dynasty, it was also the first major case.
