Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 73: Two emperors in one dynasty? There is no such rule.

Chapter 73 Two emperors in one dynasty? There is no such rule.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to know why the King of Han was able to rebel successfully?"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"The emperor is incompetent. What other reason could there be?"

His military ability and ability to seize opportunities were important to the success of the Fengtian Rebellion.

Similarly, Zhu Yunwen’s confused operations were also crucial.

Otherwise, even if he had three powerful generals like Zhu Gaoxu, he might not be able to succeed in the Jingnan Rebellion.

There are other factors, but the main factor is the emperor himself.

Looking at Zhu Di's indifferent expression, Yao Guangxiao said softly.

"In the 14th year of Zhengtong, the Oirat tribe attacked the border of the Ming Dynasty. When Emperor Zhu Qizhen learned about it, he was instigated by the eunuch Wang Zhen."

"Be prepared to learn from Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong, who led the army in person."

"Lead the elite troops of the capital, 3,000 battalions, and the Shenji Battalion with a strength of 500,000, to attack the Wala tribe."

Five hundred thousand troops are actually not a lot, including the baggage troops and the soldiers' families.

Bringing family members along can stabilize the morale of the army and can also be used as baggage soldiers.

When he launched several northern expeditions, he raised an army of hundreds of thousands, otherwise Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi would not have cried poor so often.

War does cost money.

"With 500,000 troops, the capital should be empty. It is indeed a good time to raise an army now."

"That's not right. Didn't Zhuang Mu say that this was a dream specifically for the second child to become an emperor?"

"Even though he can temporarily occupy the capital, won't he have to go back when the 500,000-strong army returns?"

The Three Thousand Battalions and the Divine Machine Battalion were both elite divisions that he had invested a lot of time and money to build.

It would be a foolish dream for Zhu Gaoxu to rely solely on his few soldiers to compete with the Three Thousand Battalions and the Shenji Battalion.

Besides, Zhu Qizhen.

It seems that this person should be Zhan Ji's child.

Gaozhan, Qi, Jianyou, Houzai, Yi, Changyou, these are the generation names Zhu Yuanzhang gave to his lineage.

Yao Guangxiao continued, "Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne at a young age and was not under any supervision, which led him to believe in slander."

"The troops changed their routes at will, and even allowed the eunuchs around them to command the troops, thus exposing their whereabouts."

"Yesen of the Oirat tribe seized the opportunity and defeated Zhu Qizhen and his 500,000-man army at Tumubao."

"The emperor was captured, and Zhang Fu and other senior officials, totaling more than 50 officials and generals, were all killed in the battle."

"More than half of the 500,000-man army was killed."

Zhu Di's smile froze instantly.

The weathered face showed a hint of anger.

Zhang Fu, the Three Thousand Battalions, the Shenji Battalion, these were all his hard work, and they were buried in Tumu Fort?
Also, what the hell is going on with the emperor being captured?

It's unreasonable! It's totally unreasonable!
Then, in order to make amends, Zhu Di said, "Old monk, it seems that Zhuang Mu's dream is not that real."

"But come to think of it, if you want the second son to become the emperor, it is unlikely that there will be no changes in the court."

In his opinion, the Battle of Tumu was probably fabricated by Zhuang Mu in order to help Zhu Gaoxu realize his dream of becoming emperor.

Otherwise... an army of 500,000, the elite 3,000-man battalion, the Shenji battalion, and even Zhang Fu who had followed him in battle for many years.

How could they all be defeated in Tumubao?
Still defeated by the Oirat tribe.

He actually knew Yesen.

The grandson of Mahamu, the leader of the Oirat tribe during the Yongle reign, he only attacked the Oirat tribe once during the Yongle reign.

After that, he never recovered.

After this blow, Mahamu died in the grassland civil war not long after.

It can be said that the forces of the grasslands, such as the Wala and Tatar tribes, were all terrified when facing the Ming army.

How dare I face you?

As a result, in a short time, the Oirat tribe almost wiped out the Ming Dynasty's 500,000 troops and even captured the emperor.

how can that be!

This is absolutely impossible!

Yao Guangxiao's emotions did not fluctuate much, he just continued to talk about the news he had found out: "It took the King of Han and the King of Zhao nearly a month."

"He led his troops into the capital secretly, and after entering the capital, he killed Wang Zhen's followers and Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyiwei."

"And calm the hearts of the ministers." "Begin preparations for the ascension to the throne."

"I think the time of enthronement should be within these few days."

Zhu Di's expression no longer had the calmness he had just had.

"Zhu Qizhen..."

"Old monk, is that bastard Zhu Qizhen still in Yesen's hands?"

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao nodded.

"Being able to capture the emperor, this Yesen must not be a fool."

"If they capture the emperor, they will probably use this as a threat to demand benefits and achieve their goals."

"Therefore, Zhu Qizhen will most likely not be killed, and will even be well taken care of."

If the emperor died, they would have no bargaining chip to demand benefits from the Ming Dynasty, so naturally, they would take good care of Zhu Qizhen.

At least nothing will happen until it still has value.

The fact that he was captured shows that Zhu Qizhen was not a very tough person, otherwise he would not have been captured but would have died in the battle at Tumu Fort.

"Let's go to Beijing first and look for the second and third brothers."

"By the way, let them kill this unfilial descendant."

It is a disgrace for the emperor to be captured, and even his own descendants cannot tolerate it.

If my father knew this.

Since his descendants are so useless, it will be extremely difficult for him to be forgiven.

If his descendants could be like those in the Western Han Dynasty, then at least he would have the confidence and courage to face Zhu Yuanzhang.

But this...

Fortunately, this is just a dream. If it were real, what would happen?
If this is true, wouldn't Zhu Yuanzhang be skinned alive?

I'm afraid even my elder brother may not be able to forgive himself.

That would be true. If his descendants made mistakes, even if he, as the grandfather, kowtowed and broke his head, he might not be forgiven.

……

at the same time.

Beijing Imperial Palace.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were still unaware of the arrival of Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was holding the enthronement edict written by Xu Youzhen.

There is a lot of gibberish said above, but to put it simply, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne and became emperor.

Looking at the content above, his face looked somewhat displeased.

He said, "Xu Youzhen, didn't I tell you that I will ascend the throne together with King Zhao?"

“Why isn’t the third brother’s name there?”

This sentence completely confused Xu Youzhen?

No, I thought you were just talking big. Are you serious?
Even Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Gaoxu with some surprise.

He always thought that his second brother was just making big promises for him, but he didn't expect that he was serious?

Zhu Gaosui looked at his second brother who kept his promise, and said with some reluctance: "Second brother, this is not good, right?"

Zhu Gaoxu, however, embraced Zhu Gaosui and said with a smile: "Third brother, I will keep my word and never make empty promises like my father did."

"We agreed that you and I will sit together in this world, so let's sit together."

"Change, King Zhao and I will ascend the throne together and become emperor."

"When the time comes, you, the Third Brother, will be in charge of Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, and I will be in charge of Beijing Shuntian Prefecture, and we will rule the world together."

Xu Youzhen felt a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

"How can there be two emperors in one dynasty?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xu Youzhen indifferently.

"No? Aren't Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu two emperors in one dynasty?"

In fact, if he had come a few days later, Zhu Qiyu would have become the emperor. At that time, one emperor would be in the grassland and the other emperor would be in the Central Plains.
