Chapter 188 The Battle of Baihegou

"At the same time, Zhu Yunwen promulgated the imperial edict of King Qin, ordering the kings of Qin to be kings all over the world. He said in the imperial edict, I will obey the order of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to become the emperor and serve the gods of heaven and earth."

"There is more in the back. It is said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not pay attention to martial arts, rebelled without authorization, harmed the people, and led large armies to crusade against me many times."

"Many people around me were scared to death. Zhu Di's rebel army attacked Huainan, intending to cross the south of the Yangtze River and continue to attack. I have asked the general to lead the army to stop it. I don't know if I can stop it."

"I don't know who the general Zhu Yunxuan is talking about here. I just said that he sent a general to lead an army to resist Zhu Di."

"Okay, there are still below. Now I am in danger. You, the capitals from all over the country, as well as the chief envoys, the inspectors, and the civil and military officials of various palaces, are in danger now. You have to quickly lead loyal and brave men to Nanjing to help. I."

"As long as you put down Zhu Di's rebellion, then you will be meritorious ministers, and you will also contribute to the Zongmiao Society."

"Oh! I'm so ashamed! Because of my lack of virtue, Zhu Di rebelled. Although this is a certainty, you ministers, do you really want to abandon me as the emperor?"

"As long as we work together to quell Zhu Di's rebellion, I will bring you all together! What I have said now will definitely be fulfilled, and I hope you will lead troops to serve the king!"

"Okay, the content of the edict is almost the same. It means that Zhu Yunqi can't beat Zhu Di, so officials from all over the country will come to help him, saying that as long as Zhu Di is defeated, rewards for meritorious deeds are a must!"

"I don't know if anyone responded to Zhu Yunqi's call at the time, but the story has to continue."

"On June [-]th, Zhu Di led the rebels to the gate of Jinchuan. The king of Gu, Zhu Wei, and the Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, opened the gate and surrendered. The capital then fell."

"It is said that Zhu Di's rebels entered Nanjing swaggeringly and fought with the imperial guards who were still desperately resisting. In the end, they fought. Hey, the palace caught fire."

"After the fire was extinguished, the rebels found several remains that had been badly burned by the fire. Some eunuchs said that these were the bodies of Emperor Zhu Yunqi, his empress, and Crown Prince Zhu Wenkui."

"After Zhu Di ascended the throne in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor, he killed a large number of old ministers who were loyal to Zhu Yunqi. It is said in history that Renwu was martyred. Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to BJ."

"Okay, that's the end of the story of Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Di. As an uncle, Zhu Di rebelled because he was dissatisfied with his nephew's cutting down the domain, and he accidentally became the emperor. This is very understandable."

"After talking about Zhu Di and Zhu Yunzhen, let's turn our attention to Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County again."

"Then why did we talk about the Battle of Jingnan before that? Hey, it was because of Zhu Di's rebellion that his second son Zhu Gaoxu had the opportunity to perform."

"Although this Zhu Gaoxu is not very good at studying, he has been aggressive since he was a child. He is not afraid of killing people, and even has a bloodthirsty appetite! This is a natural fighter!"

"It is said that in the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di rebelled and left his eldest son Zhu Gaochi behind in Beiping, and then took his second son Zhu Gaoxu to fight, and Zhu Gaoxu often served as the vanguard of the army!"

"In the second year of Jianwen, that is, in 1400 A.D., Zhu Gaoxu participated in the famous battle of Baigouhe in history. He led the cavalry to charge repeatedly, and finally succeeded in beheading Zhai Neng and his son."

"I think it is necessary to tell you about the battle of Baigouhe here. In April of the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunqi sent General Li Jinglong to lead an army of 60, known as an army of one million, to Baihegou."

"Then what did Li Jinglong want to do when he brought so many people here? He had only one purpose at the time, and that was to go straight to Huanglong and take down Zhu Di's Yan Palace!"

"It is said that Zhu Di was very panicked after hearing the news! But he still bit the bullet and led an army of [-] to Baihegou to fight!"

"Look, this Zhu Di is brave! Isn't it? With such courage, it seems reasonable for him to beat his nephew, doesn't it?"

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and get on with the business."

"On April 24th, Zhu Di led [-] infantry from Sujiaqiao, which is the northeast of Baoding, Hebei today, and said that they followed the river gradually!"

"As a result, they were ambushed by more than 1 people from the imperial army's Ping'an Division. Zhu Di's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the vanguard officer Ping An and the governor Zhai Neng and his son led the war. The imperial army was invincible! So Zhu Di's rebels could not No retreat.”

"On the second day, Zhu Di led his army across the river again, wanting to fight a decisive battle with Li Jinglong's troops, so Li Jinglong took advantage of the large number of people and led his army to fight!"

"At the beginning, Li Jinglong's troops relied on their strength to restrain Zhu Di's rebels everywhere, and General Ping'an's troops even defeated Zhu Di's rear army's general Fang Kuan's troops. Chen Xiangna, the general, was also injured and fled!"

"At this time, Zhu Di led a thousand cavalry from one side, and rushed directly into Li Jinglong's troops. It is said that Zhu Di's troops killed many soldiers and generals of Li Jinglong's troops."

"However, it was at this time that Li Jinglong's troops appeared behind Zhu Di's rebels! Together with the troops in front, they attacked the rebels!"

"It is said that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, changed his horse three times in this battle, and fought with his sword. It means that the battle was very fierce at that time, and Zhu Di fell off his horse three times. Fighting with a sword, and was almost caught by Zhai Neng."

"In the evening, Zhai Neng continued to lead his army to fight against the rebels. Yu Tongyuan and his commander Teng Ju also led the troops to fight. The rebels were terrified."

"Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew and broke Li Jinglong's flag. The rebels thought this was a good sign, so they looked at each other."

"Soon, a cavalry force rushed out of the rebel army and ran to Li Jinglong's garrison. After seeing the direction of the wind, Li Jinglong's garrison was set ablaze!"

"At the same time, Zhu Di personally led the army to attack Li Jinglong's troops, and finally beheaded Zhai Neng and his son, as well as Yu Tongyuan, Teng Ju and other court generals."

"And the Ministry of Security, which was going well at first, was also defeated by Zhu Neng. Several generals were killed, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed, and more than [-] people were killed or injured."

"Zhu Di ordered the rebels to pursue the fleeing imperial troops all the way to Yuexiang Bridge, where they defeated the imperial troops again, killing more than 1 people who were drowned and ravaged."

"But Li Jinglong, who saw the situation was not good, led his defeated soldiers and fled all the way south, all the way to Jinan."
