"Zhu Jian was loyal to Zhu Yunwen and tried his best to encourage King Ning to obey the court's orders. However, at present, Zhu Quan just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
"well."
Zhu Di held Xu Li's hands with both hands and said emotionally:
"My dear brother, if this is done, I will give you the credit."
After hearing this, Xu Li smiled and said, "The general will not consider the first merit but not the first. The younger brother must obey the order of the eldest sister Xu."
"Your Highness, King Yan, will not be able to stay here for long. You will go to the city later and continue to deal with King Ning. After I deal with Chen Wen, I will try to discuss the follow-up matters with you."
"Okay." Zhu Di agreed repeatedly.
He was like an open-mouthed Bodhisattva, smiling from ear to ear.
God help me!
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
After Xu Li left the commander's tent, Zhu Di quickly summoned Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and other generals to come over for discussion.
…
Four days later.
Early morning, Daning City.
"Seventeenth Brother, please take care of yourself when Fourth Brother is gone. Thank you for the food and supplies. I will fight to the death with Li Jinglong when I get back. Life or death is uncertain."
"We, brothers, say goodbye here, maybe forever."
Zhu Di held Zhu Quan's hand while walking, his voice hoarse and his face blank.
"Fourth brother is brave and good at fighting. He will definitely be able to defeat Li Jinglong's siege. Let's go... I will take you to Shiliting. Let's say goodbye over the wine."
At this time, Zhu Quan was also quite sad.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Zhu Di to fail.
Once Li Jinglong captured Beiping City and defeated the Yan army, his next target would be his Daning City.
He funded Zhu Di with grain, grass, supplies, etc., with the purpose of allowing the Yan army to compete with the Central Army and hold off Li Jinglong for at least a year and a half.
And he planned to free up his hands to collect the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, prepare to form a strong army, and then turn around to clean up the mess in northern Xinjiang.
He has thought it through in the past few days and is preparing to take the path of armed separatism in northern Xinjiang.
Therefore, he decided to send Zhu Di and his Yan army soldiers out of the city in person in the morning.
It is said that brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Quan walked hand in hand and slowly walked out of Daning City.
The few carriages behind were pulling strong old roasted pot and roasted whole lamb.
Zhu Quan went out of the city to see him off, and Xu Li's Yingzhou Central Guards, with more than 5,000 elite cavalry, were responsible for guarding him throughout the whole journey.
In Daning City, Zhu Jian's right guard and Chen Wen's left guard were responsible for defending the city and providing support.
The team walked slowly to Shiliting, where they saw 60,000 Yan troops already waiting in formation.
There was no object on display in Shiliting, but a Ming general covered in blood was tied up.
"This...isn't this Songting Pass guard general Liu Zhen?"
Zhu Quan was shocked when he saw this.
"That's right, Seventeenth Brother. Everyone has nothing to do these days, so they captured Songting Pass to practice their skills."
Zhu Di smiled and looked calm.
"But Fourth Brother, this Songting Pass is under the jurisdiction of my Daning Capital, and Liu Zhen is my subordinate..."
Zhu Quan started to defend loudly, but then his voice suddenly became quieter, and he felt something was wrong.
He turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Where is Xu Li?"
"Your Highness Prince Ning, if you can't go back, let's just follow Prince Yan."
"Emperor Jianwen acted rebelliously, violated Taizu's instructions, trusted treacherous ministers, and brought disaster to the country and the people. We should obey the destiny."
Xu Li led hundreds of guards to block Zhu Quan's retreat.
The Yingzhou Central Guards were originally Zhu Quan's close guards. They were instigated to rebel, and Zhu Quan was left alone.
"Brother Seventeen, come with me. Let's join forces in Yanning and fight side by side as brothers. If things get done, we will share the world."
Zhu Di still persuaded with a smile.
His saying, 'When things are done, the world will be divided' is very tempting.
Although Zhu Quan is young and may not have the experience of veteran Zhu Di, he still has the ability to judge the situation.
Xu Li was instigated to rebel, and he himself was the turtle in the urn.
If you resist, Liu Zhen will end up.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
Besides, even if Li Jinglong wins, he won't get any good results either.
Following the fourth brother Zhu Di's rebellion, if it succeeds, King Yan's promise in front of everyone, not to mention dividing the world, having 20-30% of the territory will be enough.
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Zhu Quan's face, he cupped his fists at Zhu Di and said:
"Oh, fourth brother, you want Yan and Ning to join forces and raise the banner of Jingnan together, why do you need to go to war like this?"
"Actually, I had a rest last night and was ready to follow my fourth brother. I wanted to say it when I said goodbye to Shiliting."
"Let the Yan army go first, and the Ning army will follow after cleaning up."
"So, then... let me go back to the city and let Chen Wen and Zhu Jian prepare themselves and go out of the city to accept the adaptation."
Zhu Di's change in Prince Ning was unexpected. He still said with a smile:
"Brother Seventeen doesn't need to go back in person. As expected, Daning City already belongs to me."
"Zhu Jian and more than a dozen of his cronies have been dealt with by Chen Wen, and the Yingzhou Guard has basically not been damaged."
"Another thing I want to tell you is that Zhu Jian is Jianwen's best friend. Yesterday, Yan Jun intercepted a six-hundred-mile express order. It was Jianwen's secret order to Zhu Jian."
"Appoint Zhu Jian as the commander of Daning City, and ask him to wait for an opportunity to kill you, Prince Ning, and control the entire Daning City."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he asked someone to present the secret edict to Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan's face turned livid, he clenched his fists and cursed angrily:
"Shu Zi is not enough to keep up with you."
"Stop the wine and meat and swear an alliance here. From now on, Yan and Ning will join forces and Fengtian will be at peace!" Zhu Di shouted loudly.
"Yan Ning joins forces, Fengtian Jingnan!"
"..."
The scene roared like thunder and lightning, and the crowd was in a state of excitement.
Chen Wen and others from the city also rushed over, their shirts still stained with blood.
Everyone drank and swore together.
…
"Teacher, is this the true situation of the Yanning merger?"
"Of course, I am also a compilation member of Yongle Dadian, Ming Shilu, etc. How can it be false?"
Jian Yi said in surprise.
Regarding the process of the confluence of Yan and Ding, the contents recorded in "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Records of the Ming Dynasty" are quite different.
There are many versions and stories about this in later generations.
The one with the highest concentration is said to be King Ning Zhu Quan who had "80,000 soldiers and 6,000 chariots."
The guards of King Ning were the three guards of Wu Liangha.
Zhu Di quietly sneaked into Daning City with the elite of the Yan army, dragging boxes after boxes of gold and silver treasures, and bribed Zhu Quan's three guards of Wuliangha.
He also planned to ambush King Ning outside the city and take him hostage on the Jingnan ship.
As a historian, Xu Qin finally figured out the truth of this period of history.
This historical mystery is revealed.
The relationship between Zhu Quan and the three guards of Wuliangha is a very loose semi-employee relationship.
"Eighty thousand in armor and six thousand in leather chariots"
It was entirely the result of people in later generations praising King Ning's face and praising his virtues.
Just imagine, Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral training of the Ming Emperor stipulates that the vassal king is only allowed to have one guard, that is, three thousand to five thousand troops.
Only frontier vassal kings are allowed to have three guards, about 150,000 to 20,000 horses.
For example, Zhu Su, the Valley King of Xuanfu, was also a frontier vassal king, and his bodyguard only had 3,000 riders.
Zhu Di, who has been in charge of the vassal for nearly 20 years, and has 20,000 Yanshan guards, is still inexplicably blamed for the biggest vassal king?
If Zhu Quan, who was only 21 years old, was so powerful, would Zhu Yuanzhang allow him to exist?
This is an obvious sign of treason.
The emperor had already issued an edict to investigate the crime.
There is also Zhu Yunwen. The first person who came to power to cut off the vassal vassal was Ning Wang Zhu Quan.
There are indeed people in history who are able to make up random facts and make things up.
