Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled. Although it was two years later than in history, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer the turbulent dynasty it had been before, this ambitious guy was eventually dazzled by the throne and raised a flag to rebel in Nanchang.  The banner that came out was even more ridiculous. It even said that neither Zhengde nor Zhou Zhong was the son of the late emperor, and that he wanted to restore the orthodoxy of the Zhu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.  Zhou Zhong had always been wary of King Ning, especially after the last meeting in Beijing. Zhou Zhong began to suppress King Ning's power. However, at that time, his main power was concentrated on the sea, so he was in Nanchang.  King Ning's influence was relatively small. Only after he restored his identity and became King Zhao and Supervisor did he begin to truly suppress King Ning.  In addition, Zhou Zhong also warned Zhengde several times that Prince Ning was disloyal. However, although Zhengde said that he would pay attention to it on the surface, he actually didn't take it to heart at all. Even Zhou Zhong's proposal to reduce the number of guards in Prince Ning's palace was ignored.  He was also interrupted by Zhengde's laughter. Later Zhou Zhong mentioned it several times, but Zhengde didn't pay attention to it, and Zhou Zhong was helpless about it.  In fact, Zhengde is not to blame. When Emperor Xiaozong died, Zhengde was only fifteen years old when he took over the throne. Moreover, due to the doting of Xiaozong and Empress Zhang, Zhengde's character was like that of a child who had not grown up and usually only knew how to have fun.  , but now that his father has passed away, he feels as if he has lost his biggest support, and he has become a little confused and helpless.  It was at this time that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, who was ten years older than Zhengde, appeared. Not only did he often give Zhengde fun things, he even often chatted with Zhengde to relieve his boredom, although Zhu Chenhao approached Zhengde for his own purposes.  But he showed up.  But it fills in the family affection that Zhengde lacks.  Even in Zhengde's heart, Zhu Chenhao is equivalent to his father and brother. In addition, Zhengde is a person who pays more attention to family ties. Therefore, Prince Ning has always been an irreplaceable role in Zhengde's heart. This is why Prince Ning can do it several times.  The reason for leaving Nanchang and going to Beijing was that if it were another vassal king, he might not even be able to leave his own fiefdom.  Let alone entering Beijing.  Zhengde's connivance with Zhu Chenhao made Zhou Chong's suppression of King Ning not very smooth. He could only use the outside to eliminate the forces that aroused King Ning. For example, in order to raise money for the rebellion, Zhu Chenhao actually recruited many Jianghu  Almost all of the characters, especially the water pirates in Taihu Lake, created Prince Ning's Mansion, which also made bandits rampant in Nanchang. Countless families were attacked by bandits, resulting in the destruction of their families.  Speaking of which, Ming Dynasty has improved in all aspects in recent years.  The situation across the country is also gradually improving, and many places are showing a prosperous scene.  However, the situation in Nanchang has not improved. On the contrary, many local people have left their hometowns with their families and fled to the coastal areas of Ningbo and Songjiang to make a living. Many people in Nanchang have even taken the initiative to join the overseas immigration plan.  Move your whole family to live overseas. After all, although the overseas environment is not stable, it is much safer than living under the knife of a robber.  In addition, officials in Jiangxi and Nanjing had long been aware of King Ning's unusual behavior and wrote to the court several times, pointing out that King Ning had disobedient intentions. For example, Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, wrote to the court seven times to report King Ning's rebellion.  In fact, Zhu Chenhao not only established a relationship with Zhengde, but also bribed Zhengde's confidant Qian Ning. Qian Ning not only leaked Zhengde's every move to him, but also helped him intercept the impeachment of local officials against him.  Qian Ning even gave the royal guards of Jiangxi to King Ning to command. Many Jiangxi officials were retaliated by King Ning because they were unwilling to rely on King Ning. Many of them died in unknown circumstances, even the bachelor who became an official.  Fei Hong almost died in the hands of King Ning, and King Ning commanded the Jin Yiwei to do many of these things for him.  It can be said that in Jiangxi, especially in Nanchang, King Ning is the emperor, and his orders are more useful than Zhengde's imperial edicts. Local officials also have to look at King Ning's face to act, and they may be killed if they are not careful.  In addition, there were two counselors under King Ning, namely Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng. These two people helped King Ning make plans and actively prepared for the rebellion.  After Zhou Zhong restored his identity as King Zhao, he began to eliminate Zhu Chenhao's forces. He first ordered his army to enter Jiangxi in the name of suppressing bandits, and cleaned up the lake bandits who were attached to King Ning, and then used economic means to  In order to hit the economic income of Ning Prince's Mansion, they even sent people to Nanchang to publicize and call on the local people to move out. Although this is obviously somewhat impossible, the fewer people in Nanchang, the smaller Zhu Chenhao's influence will be. Even in the future,  It is a rebellion, but it is difficult to form a large scale.  Perhaps it was Zhou Chong's suppression that made Zhu Chenhao dare not act rashly. After all, before he dared to expand his power unscrupulously, it was because he knew that the top leaders of Ming Dynasty had been bribed by him, and Zhengde was very relieved of himself, but now he  Suddenly a King Zhao appeared, and his status was only lower than Zhengde, and he was wary of himself, so he could only shrink his strength, hoping that he could slowly?Let Zhou Zhong forget his existence.  Unfortunately, Zhou Chong knew very well what Zhu Chenhao would do in the future, so he did not relax his vigilance against Zhu Chenhao for a moment. Even after he became the supervisor, he once again increased his control over the vassal king, and Prince Ning's Mansion was  The main areas he paid attention to, such as the previous official reform, some officials appointed by King Ning were all cleared out by Zhou Zhong. In addition, Qian Ning fell out of favor in front of Zhengde and went to Xuanfu and Liaodong. This also made Zhu Chen  Hao lost his understanding of the situation in the capital.  As Zhou Zhong continued to attack Zhu Chenhao, the power that Prince Ning's Mansion had finally accumulated was greatly damaged. Especially the water bandits and thieves were unable to gain a foothold outside. In the end, they had to ask Zhu Chenhao for help.  Zhu Chenhao also needed these people to work for him in the future, so he hid these people in the palace. After several expansions, his palace occupied almost half of Nanchang City, and it was more than enough to hide tens of thousands of people.  Zhu Chenhao saw that his strength was constantly being damaged. He also knew that Zhou Zhong must have caught the ironclad evidence of his rebellion, so he would hit him so relentlessly. This made him shocked and angry. If it had been before,  He would definitely run to Zhengde and cry and then beat him up, but Zhou Zhong was Zhengde's biological brother and was much closer to him by blood, so even if he went to Zhengde to complain, he would probably end up humiliating himself.  The first King Ning was named Zhu Quan. He was Zhu Di's younger brother, and like Zhu Di, he was a vassal king with a heavy army. When Zhu Di rebelled, he raised troops to threaten Zhu Quan and promised to divide the world equally in the future. As a result, Zhu Di  Quan had no choice but to agree to send troops. However, after Zhu Di won the world, he never mentioned the matter of dividing the world equally. He also deprived Zhu Quan of military power and sent him to Nanchang to become king. Zhu Quan was only 25 years old at the time, but he had to  And wasting his life in wine and sex.  Zhu Quan was good at both civil and military affairs. He also made great achievements in battle when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, when he was in Nanchang, he could only amuse himself with Jingzi, Jiuliu, ephemeris, medical divination, and Huang Lao. This also made him very happy. Unfortunately,  Zhu Di was powerful at that time, and he had no chance at all, so he could only be a vassal king honestly. However, his ambition to regain half of the country that belonged to him has never been extinguished.  After Zhu Quan's death, his descendants also inherited his legacy and were always looking for opportunities to regain their own country. However, in Zhu Chenhao's generation, he finally got the opportunity. It can be said that Zhu Chenhao has the responsibility of all generations.  It was Prince Ning's legacy, and he had almost paid the price for the first half of his life for it, and he would not give up no matter what.  It is precisely because of this that when Zhu Chenhao saw that the power of Ning Prince's Mansion was shrinking under Zhou Zhong's blow, and the Ming Dynasty was getting stronger day by day, if this continued, he would have no chance to rebel, so here he  Under such circumstances, Zhu Chenhao, who had become somewhat crazy, resolutely launched a rebellion suddenly, regardless of the opposition of his advisers.  Zhou Chong also didn't expect that Zhu Chenhao would be so crazy and would actually start a rebellion when the situation was unfavorable. This caught him off guard for a while, especially now that Ming Dynasty's main focus was on conquering the northern grasslands and developing maritime trade.  , so there is less attention paid to the country.  The military strength in the south was already weak. Although Zhou Zhong had previously sent some troops to Jiangxi to suppress bandits, these troops were all newly formed armies drawn from the previous southern army. Although there were some graduates from military academies in these armies  , but the soldiers under his command, not to mention the elite border troops, are not even comparable to the garrisons in some places in the north. At most, they can only bully the bandits, and they must be several times the strength of the opponent.  But now Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled, killed the governor Sun Sui, and Jiangxi deputy envoy Xu Kui, and then formed a large army, known as one hundred thousand. Although the actual number of troops was definitely not that many, there were still 50,000 or 60,000, and these rebel troops were a small number.  They were Zhu Chenhao's former private soldiers, and some were bandits and water thieves who had gathered together, plus ordinary people who were forced to rebel. They took boats down the Yangtze River to attack Anqing. It seemed that he wanted to imitate Taizu back then.  Zhu Yuanzhang first captured Nanjing, and then relied on the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Even if he could not seize the throne of the Ming Dynasty, he could at least rule across the river from the Ming Dynasty.  According to the original history, after the Zhu Chenhao Rebellion occurred, Wang Shouren, who was the governor of Tinggan and Gandu and the censor of Qiandu at the time, immediately organized troops to serve the king, and used the tactic of drawing wages from the bottom of the cauldron. Instead of saving Nanjing first, he sent troops to  When setting out for Nanchang, they first raided Zhu Chenhao's lair. As a result, Zhu Chenhao, who was attacking Anqing at that time, had to return his troops to rescue him. Unfortunately, Wang Shouren defeated Zhu Chenhao at Huangjiadu in the northeast of Nanchang. This battle also laid the foundation for Zhu Chenhao's success.  Chen Hao's defeat was due to the fact that history has changed now. Wang Shouren had been serving in the capital and had no chance to quell the rebellion. In this case, who could stop Zhu Chenhao's army?  (To be continued)
