Judy (1360- 1424) is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Judy was made the prince. I used to live in Fengyang and I know people's feelings very well.
Hongwu went to Beiping in thirteen years and was ordered to participate in military activities in the north many times. He led his troops to the north twice, which strengthened his influence in the northern army.
As the son of Zhu Yuanzhang who is best at strategy and war, Judy certainly doesn't want to be a captaincy for life, because his brother, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, died young. Judy moved her mind to seek power and usurp the throne.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he passed the throne to the emperor's great-grandson Zhu Yunwen, and Judy's thoughts became more vivid.
In addition, he was young and inexperienced. Zhu Yunwen wanted to cut the rights of the captaincy, but he was too hasty.
Wen Jian, the newly enthroned emperor, was unstable and lacked talents. At that time, the court was in the transitional stage of talents.
Geng Bingwen is the only general in the older generation, and there is another general in the second generation: Cao Guogong and Li Wenzhong's son Li Jinglong. The younger generation of Sheng Yong, Ping An, Tie Xuan, Xu Huizu and Guo Ying are still working at the grassroots level. At the beginning of the battle of Jingnan, Zhu Yunwen wanted to defeat Judy with military superiority. As a result, he lost the opportunity because of the low quality of his generals and a series of decision-making mistakes.
In the middle of the war, Li Jinglong, as the commander-in-chief of the army, did his best, but his own ability was mediocre. Judy, the prince of Yan, used the cavalry circuitous counterattack tactics to the extreme, turning the tide many times and defeating the imperial army. By the end of the war, the gap between the two sides gradually narrowed. Sheng Yong, Ping An, Tie Xuan and other generals of the Central Army of the imperial court also went into battle, and the two sides fought fiercely, each winning or losing.
Finally, Judy found herself in a dilemma. The world is still a nephew. He can do whatever he can, and it will only be himself who will suffer if he consumes it.
So he listened to the counsel of the counselor Yao, seized the key point, crossed the heavily guarded defense line of the Central Army, and suddenly attacked Yingtian (Nanjing), the capital city with empty guards, and then took Li Jinglong, the defeated man, as an insider and occupied Nanjing as the emperor.
Why does Yao's strategy grasp the key point?
First of all, Judy rebelled because the emperor had traitors around him, so his rebellion was "legal". As long as Judy controls Jianwen Emperor and worships his father Zhu Maoyuan Zhang after the capture of Nanjing, he can legally inherit the great unification. So Judy is different from ordinary rebels. Yao's plan, like a sharp arrow, hit the center of the contradiction accurately.
Of course, strike while the iron is hot. Judy's military ability is rare in the history of China.
In the stage of strategic stalemate, the Central Army constantly consumed the Jingnan Army. Judy entered the most difficult stage. Shandong urban agglomeration is difficult to chew, and the South Army's tactics are conservative and stable.
However, the confederate army never won a decisive victory, did not annihilate the effective forces of the northern army in large numbers, did not shake the loyalty and support of the northern army to Judy, and also laid the groundwork for Judy's final lore.
