"Speaking of war, the famous one is Ping'an Nan, who fought against Mongolia five times!"

"In the first year of Yongle, the king of Annam sent an envoy to pay tribute, and the envoy said that the original king of Annam was dead and had no descendants, and the current king was the grandson of the old king.

"In the second year of Yongle, Pei Boqi, the former minister of the former king of Annan, fled to the Ming Dynasty and reported to Zhu Di about the usurpation of the Li clan in Annam, and soon after, Chen Tianping, the younger brother of the former king, also fled to BJ."

"In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent 5,000 men and horses to escort Chen Tianping back to Annan, but who knew that the king of Annan arranged an ambush to kill Chen Tianping, and the Ming soldiers who escorted him were also killed."

"Zhu Di is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!"

"Zhu Di's whole life is all about him playing conspiracy to harm people, and this time he is cunning and cunning, and he actually fell into the trap of others."

"In July of the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di appointed Zhu Neng as the commander and sent 800,000 troops to attack Annan, Zhu Neng died of illness on the way, and Zhang Fu took over the army."

"The Ming army pacified Annan with the momentum of devastation, and then Zhu Di issued an edict to find the descendants of the Chen family, but the Chen family was already extinct, so Zhu Di issued an edict to change Annan to Jiaozhi, and incorporated it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and set up the political envoy department, the inspection envoy department and the command envoy department for management."

Another war made Zhu Di known as the "emperor on horseback", and he spent his whole life in political warfare. ”

"At the beginning of Yongle, Mongolia had already been divided into three tribes: Vashang, Tatar and Uliangha."

"The Tatars are stronger, their khan is Benyasuri, and the actual ruler is Arutai, who is ambitious, trying to reunite Mongolia and fight against the Ming Dynasty."

"In February of the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent an envoy to Tatar to ask for a good pass, but he was refused, and the envoy was also killed."

"Zhu Di was very angry when he learned the news, in July of that year, he sent 100,000 troops, with Qiu Fu as the main general to crusade against the Tatars, because Qiu Fu lightly attacked the enemy, the Ming army was ambushed, and the whole army was annihilated."

"Zhu Di decided to drive the expedition in person, in February of the eighth year of Yongle, Zhu Di led an army of 500,000 to go out, on May 13, Zhu Di and Benjamin met in the Hannan River, Zhu Di personally went into battle, and Benjamin fled with 7 horsemen."

"On the ninth day of the first month of June, Zhu Di met with the Arutai army in Feiyungul, Arutai escaped after falling from his horse in the war, and the Ming army suffered heavy losses on the Tatars. After that, the Tatars submitted to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"After the Tatars weakened, the Tile Thorn Department took the opportunity to rise and threaten the Ming border."

In March of the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Di led an army of 300,000 to conquer Mongolia for the second time. The army met the Tile Thorn Army in Hulan, and Zhu Di gave the Tile Thorn Army a vivid military lesson and inflicted heavy damage on the Tile Thorn. In the second year, the tile thorn apologized to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"After several years of recovery, the Tatars regained their strength, so they betrayed the Ming Dynasty and re-established themselves as enemies of the Ming Dynasty."

"So Zhu Di carried out three more northern expeditions in the twentieth, twenty-first and twenty-second years of Yongle, but because the Tatar Arutai adopted the strategy of avoiding war, Zhu Di's three northern expeditions did not achieve military goals."

"Although the five expeditions to Mongolia consolidated the frontier, they also led to an empty treasury, and Zhu Di led hundreds of thousands of troops to go out each time, spending countless money and food."

"Seeing these exploits accomplished by Zhu Di, the male master of the previous generation can be called almost incorrect and brutal for him."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Fourth, you said that you can also use force, why can't you defeat this Mongolia.

Zhao Kuangyin: When this alien race becomes an emperor, it is always a failure.

Zhu Di: It's not your Zhao Kuangyin's descendants who did it, you still have the face to say.

Qianlong: I know that I don't attack people properly, Emperor Yongle is not the emperor, this Ming may die second, then Emperor Jianwen has no ability, and let him be the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Why can't my grandson!

Kangxi: Tut-tut! You can't see the fourth child with strong ability, every day baby your grandson, you heir, you are really stupid!

"Let me talk to you about this Emperor Jianwen, in terms of the choice of heirs, Zhu Yuanzhang really saw the wrong person."

"If you want to talk about Emperor Jianwen, you have to talk about the "Battle of Jingjiang" that affected the front and back, this Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Youzhen are about the same level, and they want to make a meritorious achievement, but their ability is insufficient, they don't have much to think about, and the policies they think about have not been made, just like cutting Pan, and finally it was Zhu Di who completed it. ”

"But during the period of being in power, he was still conscientious, this is a bit similar to Zhu Youzhen, his reign was short, and Zhu Youzhen was actually almost, this can be called a "Yongjun"! ”

This "Battle of Jingjiang" is actually a stain on Zhu Di. ”

"Zhu Di's position as emperor did not come from inheriting the unification, but from a military coup, which may be a stain that he can never erase."

There is also Tang Taizong Li Shimin, but the difference is that Tang Taizong Li Shimin launched the "Xuanwumen Incident" and succeeded to the throne after killing the crown prince Li Jiancheng, although it is not the inheritance of the unification, but it is also a little commendable, because if Li Jiancheng becomes the emperor, the people of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be miserable. ”

"On the contrary, Li Shimin relied on his own ability to create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty."

And Zhu Di launched the "Battle of Jingjiang", in which the victim Zhu Yunwen was a loyal, honest, weak and bullying figure, so he was sympathized. ”

"But Zhu Di's brutality towards Emperor Jianwen's former ministers after he ascended the throne was also intimidating and criticized."

"Not only the old ministers, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in Emperor Jianwen's palace have a good end."

"According to historical records, during Zhu Di's seizure of power, a total of 14,000 of Zhu Yunwen's old subordinates and their families were killed."

"It is reported that at that time, there was a minister who really couldn't look past it, so he sent a warning, but the minister's lips were directly cut off, and nearly 900 of his nine clans and students under his name were implicated, and no one felt the advice after that."

"And some ministers who disobeyed Zhu Di's control were directly cooked to death in an oil pot, and the death was unbearable."

Woman: It's kind of similar!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Fourth, you are really ruthless! I don't want to make Yun Wei the emperor, I can't help it, I can't make Zhu Biao the emperor! I don't know the character of my grandson? He is weak and honest, the fourth child has robbed you of the throne, how can you kill them all so cruelly.

Zhu Di: If the prince can't do it, don't you have another son? Hum!

Liu Che: There is something wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang's words, since the fourth child has succeeded to the throne, there must be the eldest and the second and third children, and you have a lot of sons? Why can't the prince or grandson, you can't choose your son, you are excluding your son! The one from the Qing Dynasty is right, but your successor is really not very good.
