Acting King Zhu Gui, this is a Sai King.

He has a violent personality, but he can be ranked as one of the kings of Cyprus, but he also has his ability.

This can be seen from the fiefdom Datong.

After Datong, it was one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty.

It is a gateway, as long as Datong is still there, then the north can not go south, which shows the importance of the position.

He is also a decisive master, seeing the miserable fate of many brothers, and knowing that he has a bad reputation, he is naturally unwilling to be arrested. What's more important is that this time Zhu Yunwen is not as justified as he once was, and his way of relying on Wenchen to promote him to the top has also made the world's generals very dissatisfied.

The acting king believes that there is something to be done.

So he simply led his guards to raise troops in Datong.

However, the acting king is brutal, and he is not as popular with the army as King Yan.

Even the rest of the generals of Datong, without the emperor's order, were not willing to obey the king's command at all.

This led to the fact that although the acting king unexpectedly seized control of Datong City, the generals led their troops to leave one after another, stationed in various transportation arteries, and at the same time urgently reported to the imperial court.

On behalf of the king of 30,000 soldiers, occupy Datong, send troops everywhere to plunder the land, but at this time, Qi Tai has been recalled to Beijing by Zhu Yunwen, and the two new commanders are one from the Ministry of Industry and the other from the Ministry of Households, both of whom are civil ministers, and they can't command the army at all.

In a month, the king broke the defense of Shanxi, defeated the generals, expanded the army to 70,000, and occupied the land of northern Jin.

The king is reversed!

The news spread all over the country in an instant, accompanied by the hot and dry winds of summer.

Zhu Yunwen and his ministers were dumbfounded.

They didn't even think that the other kings would rebel! Because except for King Yan, King Jin, King Ning and other kings, the strength of the rest of the kings is relatively poor, and tens of thousands of people are simply hitting stones with eggs to compete with the imperial court!

At this time, the usefulness of the old minister is reflected.

Compared with Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru, who are more inclined to etiquette literature and lack of experience in political affairs, they are at a loss at this time, Yan Ji and Qi Tai immediately stood up.

They spoke in unison and recommended Feng Sheng as the commander and went north to attack the dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen immediately agreed.

In July of the first year of Jianwen, Feng Shengbai, the Duke of Song, bailed out the rebellion general, led 200,000 troops, and marched north to Datong.

——

Beiping, Yanwangfu.

The defense of the palace has been strengthened again, the guards in excellent armor stand in the outer courtyard of the palace, and there are elite soldiers patrolling all around, even Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can vaguely see the soft armor hidden in the robe when he enters and exits, in this eventful autumn, it can't help but lead people to increase a little reverie.

At this time, in the palace, Yan Keng was discussing with Zhu Di about raising troops.

The acting king's army disrupted their deployment, and Yan Keng suggested that Zhu Di also follow suit, and then went west to support the acting king.

"Now that the king has raised his position, if your highness is interested in taking the throne, you should quickly raise the banner of opposition and support the king, so as to show your ability and gain the support of the clan. What's more, none of the single vassal kings are the opponents of the Southern Court, and they must unite to have a chance of winning. ”

"The Acting King is an introduction. As long as you also raise troops, the two kings unite against the Southern Court and survive the encirclement and suppression, it will become a prairie fire! In this way, Nanting is in danger! ”

"You have a point. But it was Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, who led the troops, and this king was really not sure to defeat him. ”

Zhu Di's face was a little ugly.

He himself is a very good commander, and Zhang Yuzhu can Yan Keng is also a good general, but he is still afraid of being inferior to Feng Sheng.

Zhu Di himself is a great achievement, but his opponent is the Mongolian tribes outside the Guan, in other words, the Yuan army that has been disabled, the Yuan army at that time has been completely driven out of the Guanwai, and has long been afraid of the Ming army, of course, beating them can also show Zhu Di's extraordinary command skills, but with the heyday of the Ming Dynasty to defeat the remnants of the Yuan, it is relatively simple.

But what Feng Sheng dealt with, however, was the Yuan Dynasty, which had generals such as Kuangguo Timur and Li Siqi, and the Yuan Dynasty, which still had an army of more than 100,000 troops.

It's not at all a level of power comparison between friend and foe.

The six founding princes, their command level is among the best among the Chinese generals.

It must be said that the Ming army under the leadership of Feng Sheng will be the fierce enemy of the Yan army, and it can even be said that it is a trench on the road to Zhu Di's seizure of the throne.

Yan Keng is confident.

He smiled mysteriously.

"His Royal Highness seems to have forgotten that in the Beiping Army, there is a famous general who is the same era as Song Guogong."

"You mean...... Brother! Zhu Di thought about it and suddenly realized.

Zhu Wenzheng.

He was also in the army of King Yan, to be precise, in the Ming army of the Northland.

At this time, Zhu Wenzheng was sixty-three years old, but his body was still strong. Judging by his uncle's lifespan, he estimated that he had several years to live.

Since he was saved from death by Zhu Yuanzhang, he has been serving in the army, but he really started from a hundred households, so that his name was almost impossible to see in the subsequent Hongwu Nian event.

He is a contemporary of Feng Sheng, he defended Hongdu, attacked Changzhou, and fought Poyang, standing in the north over the years, with outstanding military achievements, and his ability to lead troops was by no means inferior to Feng Sheng. If there is one person among the generals who can compete with him, it is only Zhu Wenzheng. You must know that he is the former governor of the capital, and he is the first person under Xu Da and Chang Yuchun!

It's just that after all, it is a rebellion, and it is said to be a write-off, but in fact, how can he not care, so Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately suppressed him, so over the years, Zhu Wenzheng is also over half a hundred years old, and he has accumulated merit and has been promoted to the command of the Beiping Metropolitan Envoy from the second rank of the governor Tongzhi, but he is no longer allowed to enter, let alone the title.

To say that Zhu Wenzheng doesn't want to go further, that's false, although his son was named the king of Jingjiang, but in fact it has nothing to do with him.

He knew that Zhu Yunwen's Jianwen court would never reuse him. A courtier like him who has a history of rebellion is most despised by these Confucian gentlemen, not to mention that there are Song Guogong, Ying Guogong, and Changxing Marquis in the court, even if he leads the troops, it will not be his turn.

These years of tempering have also changed his temperament of liking dogs and horses, making him much more stable, if he was young, Zhu Wenzheng might have had a hot head and agreed, but this time when King Yan found him, he spent several days thinking about it.

A few days later, Zhu Wenzheng came to King Yan's army.

The change of ancient and modern dynasties, how many talents have been stained with blood, and what is pictured is only the word fame and fortune.

Zhu Wenzheng once had it, but a big mistake made him fall from the clouds to the bottom.

But fortunately, fate still favored him, and when he was old, a man named Zhu Di stretched out his hand halfway up the mountain and invited him to climb up together.

He didn't want to give up this hard-won second chance.

He raised his arm and held Zhu Di's hand.
