Smuggling Daming

King Ning Zhu Chenhao rebelled. Although it was two years later than in history, and Ming Dynasty was no longer the precarious dynasty before, this ambitious guy was finally dazed by the throne and raised his flag in Nanchang to rebel. The banner that comes out is even more ridiculous, even saying that Zhengde and Zhou Zhong are not the sons of the former emperor, and he wants to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty's Zhu Dynasty.

Zhou Zhong has always been wary of this King Ning, especially since the last time he met in Beijing, Zhou Zhong began to suppress King Ning's forces, but at that time his main forces were concentrated on the sea, so the opponent in Nanchang The influence of King Ning was relatively small, and only after he regained his identity and became King Zhao and Jian Guo did he start to really suppress King Ning.

In addition, Zhou Zhong also warned Zhengde several times that King Ning had the heart of disobedience, but Zhengde said on the surface that he would pay attention, but in fact he didn't take it to heart at all. Even Zhou Zhong's proposal to reduce the guards of Prince Ning's mansion It was also interrupted by Zhengde's laughter, and Zhou Zhong mentioned it several times later, but Zhengde didn't pay attention to it, and Zhou Zhong was very helpless about it.

In fact, I don’t blame Zhengde. When Emperor Xiaozong died, Zhengde was only 15 years old when he took over the throne, and because of the doting of Xiaozong and Empress Zhang, Zhengde’s heart was like a child who didn’t grow up. He usually only knew how to play. As a result, now that his father has passed away, he feels as if he has lost his greatest support, and the whole person has become a little confused and helpless.

At this time, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, who was ten years older than Zhengde, appeared. Not only did he often give Zhengde interesting things, but he often chatted with Zhengde to relieve boredom, although Zhu Chenhao had his own purpose to get close to Zhengde.But his appearance.But it made up for the family affection that Zhengde lacked.Even in Zhengde's heart, Zhu Chenhao is equivalent to his father and brother, and Zhengde is a person who pays more attention to family affection, so King Ning has always been an irreplaceable role in Zhengde's heart, which is why King Ning can repeat it several times. The reason for leaving Nanchang and going to Beijing is that if it was replaced by other feudal lords, he might not even be able to leave his fiefdom.Not to mention entering Beijing.

Zhengde's connivance with Zhu Chenhao made Zhou Zhong's suppression of King Ning not very smooth. He could only use the forces that caused King Ning to be suppressed from the periphery. Characters, especially the water pirates in Taihu Lake, almost all created Prince Ning's Mansion, which also made bandits rampant in Nanchang, and countless people were attacked by bandits, resulting in the destruction of their families.

Speaking of which, with the improvement of Daming in all aspects over the years.The situation across the country is gradually improving, and many places are showing a scene of prosperity.However, the situation in Nanchang has not improved. On the contrary, many local people have left their homes with their families and fled to the coastal areas of Ningbo and Songjiang to make a living. Many people in Nanchang even actively joined the overseas immigration plan. Bringing the whole family to live overseas. After all, although the overseas environment is not stable, it is much safer than living under the knife of robbers.

In addition, the officials in Jiangxi and Nanjing have also noticed the change of King Ning for a long time, and have written to the court several times, pointing out that King Ning has the heart of disobedience. In fact, Zhu Chenhao not only established a relationship with Zhengde, but also bought Qian Ning, a confidant beside Zhengde. Qian Ning not only leaked Zhengde's every move to him, but also helped him intercept the impeachment of him by local officials.

Even Qian Ning sent Jiangxi's Jinyiwei to King Ning to command. Many officials in Jiangxi were retaliated by King Ning because they were unwilling to attach to King Ning. Fei Hong almost died in the hands of King Ning, and many of these things were done for him by commanding Jin Yiwei.

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 decree. Local officials also have to act according to King Ning's face.In addition, King Ning also had two advisers, namely Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, who helped King Ning make suggestions and actively prepare for the rebellion.

After Zhou Zhong regained his identity as King Zhao, he began to clear Zhu Chenhao's power. He first ordered the 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 It hit the economic income of King Ning's Mansion, and even specially sent people to promote it in Nanchang, calling on the local people to move out. Although this is obviously impossible, the fewer people in Nanchang, the less influential Zhu Chenhao will be. It is a rebellion, and it is difficult to form a scale.

Perhaps it was Zhou Zhong's suppression that made Zhu Chenhao dare not act rashly anymore. After all, he dared to expand his power unscrupulously before, it was because he knew that the top management of Daming had been bought by him, and Zhengde was very relieved of himself, but now Suddenly a King Zhao appeared, and his status was only below Zhengde, and he was wary of himself, so he could only shrink his strength, hoping to slowly make Zhou Zhong forget his existence.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhong knew very well what Zhu Chenhao would do in the future, so he never let down his vigilance against Zhu Chenhao for a moment. Even after he became the supervisor of the country, he once again increased his control over the feudal lord, and Ning Wang's mansion is exactly The main areas he paid attention to, such as the previous bureaucratic reform, some officials placed by King Ning were all cleared out by Zhou Zhong, and Qian Ning fell out of favor in front of Zhengde, and went to Xuanfu and Liaodong, which also made Zhu Chen Hao lost his understanding of the situation in the capital.

With Zhou Zhong's continuous attack on Zhu Chenhao, the power accumulated by King Ning's Mansion was greatly damaged, especially those water bandits and thieves who couldn't stand outside at all, and finally had to ask Zhu Chenhao for help. And Zhu Chenhao also needed these people to work for him in the future, so he hid these people in the palace. After several times of expansion, his palace occupied almost half of Nanchang City, and it was more than enough to hide tens of thousands of people.

Zhu Chenhao watched his own strength continue to be damaged, and he also knew that Zhou Zhong must have caught the ironclad evidence of his rebellion, so he hit him so relentlessly, which made him startled and angry. If it was the same as before, He will definitely go to Zhengde to cry and complain, and then beat him up, but Zhou Zhong is Zhengde's younger brother, who is much closer in blood than him, so even if he goes to Zhengde to complain, he may end up humiliating himself.

The name of the first King Ning back then was 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. In desperation, 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. And wasting his life in debauchery.

Zhu Quan is both civil and military. When he followed Zhu Yuanzhang, he also made great military exploits. Later, when he was in Nanchang, he could only entertain himself with the classics, Jiuliu, ephemeris, medical divination, and Huang Lao. This also made him very happy. It's a pity At that time, Zhu Di was powerful, and he didn't have any chance at all, so he could only be a vassal king honestly, but his ambition to take back half of the country that belonged to him has never been extinguished.

After Zhu Quan's death, his descendants also inherited his will, and they have been looking for opportunities to retake their own country. As a result, Zhu Chenhao's generation finally made him wait for the opportunity. It can be said that Zhu Chenhao bears the burden of all generations. King Ning's last will, and he has almost paid the price of the first half of his life for it, and he will never give up no matter what.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Chenhao saw that the power of King Ning's Mansion was shrinking under Zhou Zhong's attack, and that Da Ming was getting stronger day by day. If this continued, he would have no chance of rebelling, so here Under such circumstances, Zhu Chenhao, who had become a little crazy, resolutely and suddenly rebelled regardless of the opposition of his advisers.

Zhou Zhong did not expect that Zhu Chenhao would be so crazy that he would rebel against the unfavorable situation. This made him a little unprepared for a while, especially now that Daming's main energy is focused on conquering the northern grasslands and developing sea trade. , so the domestic attention is less.

The military force in the south is inherently weak. Although Zhou Zhong sent some troops into Jiangxi to suppress the bandits, these troops were drawn from the former southern army and were newly formed. Although some of these troops were graduates from military academies , but the soldiers under his command are not even comparable to the elite frontier army, even the garrisons in some places in the north.

But now Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled, killed the governor Sun Sui, and Jiangxi Deputy Commissioner Xu Kui, and then formed a large army, claiming to be [-]. Although the actual number of troops is definitely not so many, there are still [-] to [-]. These rebellious troops are a small number It was Zhu Chenhao's former private soldiers, and some of them were bandits and water thieves, together with the ordinary people who were forced to rebel by them, they took a boat along the Yangtze River to attack Anqing. It seems that he wanted to learn from the Taizu of the year Zhu Yuanzhang took Nanjing first, and then relied on the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Even if he couldn't win the throne of Ming Dynasty, he could at least rule the river with Ming Dynasty.

According to the original history, after the Zhu Chenhao Rebellion, Wang Shouren, the governor of Tinggan and the censor of Qiandu at that time, immediately organized troops to serve the king, and used the strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. When sending to Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao's old lair was first copied. As a result, Zhu Chenhao who attacked Anqing had to return to rescue him. Unfortunately, at Huangjiadu in the northeast of Nanchang, Wang Shouren defeated Zhu Chenhao. This battle also laid the foundation for Zhu Chenhao. Chen Hao's defeat was due to the fact that the current history has changed. Wang Shouren has been serving in the capital and has no chance to put down the rebellion. Under such circumstances, who can stop Zhu Chenhao's army? (To be continued..)
