    Zhu Chenhao gathered tens of thousands of troops, claiming to send 100,000 troops to Nanjing. The vanguard troops soon arrived in Anqing. As long as Anqing was captured, Nanjing would be undefeated and would probably be captured by Zhu Chenhao in one fell swoop. Nanjing would do  As one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty, it was also the place where Taizu lived in Longxing. If it were occupied by Zhu Chenhao, it would have a great impact on the military and people's morale of the Ming Dynasty.  At this dangerous moment, Nanjing hurriedly released distress information to various places, especially Ningbo and Songjiang. Songjiang was the original seat of the Sihai Governor's Palace. Although the establishment of the Governor's Palace has been abolished by Zhou Chong, the Naval Academy is still there.  There, Shanghai New City is also developing extremely rapidly. In order to ensure the safety there, Songjiang stationed an elite force of tens of thousands of people. In addition, Songjiang is not far from Nanjing, so it is the most suitable target for help.  As for Ningbo, it is also related to the Sihai Governor's Palace. Shuangyu Port has been classified as a port area with Ningbo Port, forming the largest port along the Ming Dynasty. There are also many troops stationed there, and although Wu Wending, the new governor of Ningbo, is a Jinshi,  , but he is very brave. Not only is he proficient in bow and horse, he is familiar with military books, but he also attaches great importance to martial arts. He is one of the few civil servants with both civil and military talents. Therefore, as long as Ningbo and Songjiang are willing to send troops, then King Ning will not be worried.  After receiving the urgent document from Nanjing, officials from Songjiang and Ningbo did not dare to neglect it. After all, this was no ordinary trivial matter, but a rebellion by the vassal king. If anyone dared to delay at this time, I am afraid he would definitely be imprisoned in the future.  The hat of a thief is a crime of genocide, so Songjiang and Ningbo also immediately sent troops.  Among them, Songjiang Prefecture is the closest to Nanjing.  So the local garrison immediately rushed to Anqing to assist in the defense, and these 10,000 elite soldiers joined in.  In addition, Anqing is a fortified city. Even if all the bandits and thieves gathered by King Ning died under the city of Anqing, they would not be able to break this fortified city.  Wu Wending was both civil and military. After he received the emergency document from Nanjing, he also expected that the army from Songjiang would definitely rush to Anqing. By then, Nanjing would definitely be safe. And if he also rushed to Nanjing with his army.  On the one hand, the journey is long, and on the other hand, he can't be of much help. He and the Songjiang Prefecture's army are not under each other's command, so there might be some conflicts.  It was precisely with these considerations in mind that Wu Wending finally decided not to go to Nanjing, but to lead the army westward, all the way to Nanchang, the home of King Ning.  Because Zhu Chenhao took away most of his troops to attack Nanjing, Nanchang's military strength was quite weak. If he could capture Nanchang in one fell swoop, it would be a huge blow to Zhu Chenhao, and he might even force the opponent to do so.  Return reinforcements, if he ambushes you halfway.  It can definitely defeat the opponent.  Wu Wending sent troops to Nanchang, and spread the news that he was going to attack Nanchang in a very high-profile manner along the way. When they arrived in Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao, who was already besieging Anqing, also received the news, which surprised him.  Immediately prepare to abandon Anqing and return to Nanchang.  "But King Ning's move violated the taboo of military strategists, since the soldiers were dispatched.  If they return without success, it will definitely cause a serious blow to their morale. In addition, they are rebelling. If they fail to conquer one or two important towns of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, their morale will definitely be lowered.  Therefore, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, who were beside King Ning, tried their best to dissuade King Ning, telling him that his morale should not be weakened. If he withdrew his troops at this time, they would not only be unable to save Nanchang, but would also make the army exhausted. By then, Ming Dynasty would only have to ambush them halfway.  There will be no burial place for the dying.  It is a pity that Zhu Chenhao is not his ancestor Zhu Quan. Although he is good at strategizing, he knows nothing about leading troops, let alone the decision-making of a commander. Therefore, he did not listen to the dissuasion of his advisers, and finally insisted on leading the army back to Nanchang. This  It also caused the siege of Anqing to be lifted immediately.  Zhu Chenhao refused to listen to dissuasion and had already laid the root of his defeat. When his army was still halfway, he had received news of the fall of Nanchang. This shocked Zhu Chenhao and hurriedly stopped the army.  , considering whether he should continue to save Nanchang, or turn around and kill Anqing?  Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty's army did not give Zhu Chenhao time to think about it. Not long after his army stopped, the Songjiang army that was originally aiding Anqing suddenly came from behind Zhu Chenhao's army, and they also used a sneak attack at night.  As a result, Zhu Chenhao's army was severely defeated.  As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. After Wu Wending captured Nanchang, he also received news of Zhu Chenhao's return for reinforcements, so he led his troops to ambush the opponent halfway. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter Zhu Chenhao's defeated troops. This made him overjoyed and immediately ordered  The whole army attacked, and the Songjiang soldiers in the rear attacked from both sides, eventually causing the rebels to collapse.  Seeing that the situation was over, Zhu Chenhao immediately had all his concubines killed. Originally, he wanted to kill his son, but before his soldiers could take action, Wu Wending personally led the army and surrounded him.  , and finally from Zhu Chenhao down, all the princes and princes, as well as Li Shishi?Liu Yangzheng and others were all captured.  The capture of Zhu Chenhao and others also marked the end of King Ning's rebellion, and it only took a month from King Ning's rise to the end. However, although one month was short, it brought great benefits to the people of Jiangxi and other places.  This caused heavy disasters, especially since most of King Ning's troops were bandits and thieves, so wherever their army passed, almost ten rooms were empty. Not only were the people's money robbed, but many people were even kidnapped as thieves.  Many people even lost their families and their families because of this.  Just when Wu Wending and others put down King Ning's rebellion, Zhou Chong, who was far away in the capital, was also worried about this matter. He was not worried about King Ning's rebellion. The army in the south was enough to suppress this rebellion, but just now  Zhengde, who was about to return from the grassland, heard the news of King Ning's rebellion and immediately hurried back. Now they have arrived at Xuanfu, and Zhengde also sent someone to send a message to Zhou Chong, telling him not to rush to kill King Ning, but to  He personally led the troops to quell the situation, and he also wanted to ask King Ning personally that he had not treated him badly in any way, so why did he still rebel?  It turns out that when Zhengde in history put down the rebellion of King Ning, he was full of farces. For example, Wang Shouren had clearly put down the rebellion and captured King Ning, but after Zhengde arrived in Nanjing, he actually had King Ning released.  Then he led his troops to arrest King Ning again, and finally stayed in Nanjing to tour the mountains and rivers, never going back. Later historians said that Zhengde was fooling around and took the opportunity to annihilate King Ning to go out for fun, but in fact if  If you think about Masanori's personal feelings, you can understand Masanori's mood at that time.  As mentioned before, after the death of Emperor Xiaozong, Prince Ning has been playing the role of father and brother in Zhengde's relationship. For this elder who is only a few years older than himself, Zhengde actually has very deep feelings for him. Originally, Zhengde  He was shrewd and should have noticed King Ning's abnormal behavior long ago. However, Zhengde himself has always been unwilling to believe it, so he indulged King Ning in every possible way. However, he did not expect that King Ning would still rebel in the end, which dealt a huge blow to Zhengde.  It was precisely because of the betrayal of King Ning, a father-brother-like elder, that Zhengde insisted on going to Nanjing to put down the rebellion in person. This was mainly because Zhengde wanted to ask King Ning personally why he wanted to rebel?  As for the absurd behavior of Zhengde along the way, it is also a way of Zhengde venting his pain.  Although Zhou Zhong's time travel has changed the history of the Ming Dynasty, his emotional impact on historical figures is not great. For example, Zhengde's feelings for Prince Ning were not greatly affected by him.  After receiving the news of King Ning's rebellion, his spirit was also greatly affected. However, after training in the army, his mental endurance was much stronger than before, so he quickly cheered up and rushed to Nanjing to put down the rebellion.  Even when passing through the capital, he did not enter the capital to meet Zhou Chong and his cabinet. He went directly to Tianjin and took a boat to Shanghai.  Zhou Chong and the cabinet had long been accustomed to Zhengde's actions. They could only help Zhengde deal with the aftermath while ordering the southern army to speed up the quelling of Prince Ning's rebellion. Although Zhengde had said that he would personally quell the rebellion, this kind of rebellion was  Every day of delay will lead to huge losses. In addition, Zhengde has not officially issued an imperial edict. Even if an imperial edict is issued, the cabinet has the right to reject such chaos.  Fortunately, Wu Wending and others worked very hard to put down the rebellion and captured Zhu Chenhao before the court's order was issued. When the news reached the court, Zhou Chong and the cabinet breathed a sigh of relief. They were indeed a little worried about Zhengde.  After arriving, King Ning has not yet been pacified. If Zhengde leads the army and does something, it will be difficult for the court to deal with it.  As Zhu Chenhao's rebellion was put down, some people in the court who colluded with Zhu Chenhao also began to be liquidated. For example, Qian Ning, who was bribed by Zhu Chenhao, not only provided intelligence to King Ning, but also brought Jiangxi's  Jin Yiwei was handed over to King Ning. This was extremely daring. Therefore, when Zhu Chenhao rebelled, Qian Ning was arrested and imprisoned.  In addition, there was Lu Wan, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at the time. This man colluded with King Ning when he was an envoy in Jiangxi. Later, after entering the court, he even opened the door for King Ning, and even opened the door for officials in Jiangxi and other places.  Several memorials to impeach King Ning were suppressed by Lu Wan. It can be said that the reason why King Ning was able to run rampant in Jiangxi for so many years was Lu Wan's indelible contribution.  In addition to Qian Ning and Lu Wan, there were also some eunuchs in the palace, as well as some middle and low-level officials in the court, who were all related to Zhu Chenhao's rebellion. As a result, these people were all arrested and imprisoned, although Zhou Chong felt that  Some people just provided some information to King Ning because of their greed for money. It was not a big crime. However, the cabinet considered it a serious crime of rebellion and all those involved must be severely punished. As a result, these people were either killed or demoted and exiled.  A total of more than 400 people were dealt with. Although it was not as good as several major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, it was still the largest case during the Zhengde Dynasty.  PS: Sorry, something was delayed today.
