The Battle of Jingnan was a famous imperial succession event in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which resulted in Ming Chengzu Zhu Di invading Nanjing, Emperor Jianwen disappearing, and successfully seizing power.
Zhu Di used the strength of the king of the domain to hang the Central Dynasty of Emperor Jianwen, and its strength was obvious to all. But in the early stage of the Jing Dynasty, how did Zhu Di save his life in a dangerous situation, and finally turn defeat into victory?

First, pretend to be crazy and sell stupid
In 1398, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the west with his life, and the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Yunjiao ascended the throne as emperor, and the newly reigned Jianwen Emperor, at the instigation of Qi Tai and Crown Prince Cheng, carried out a slash of the domain.

Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Di had removed hundreds of guards from the palace in his hands, and he did not have any military power. Because Emperor Jianwen was too quick to do it, in order to save his life, he began to pretend to be crazy and stupid.
He talked nonsense and wore a shawl all day long, completely blinding Emperor Jianwen's men. Zhu Di is pretending to be crazy and stupid on the surface, but secretly he has been planning rebellion. At that time, Zhu Di only had eight hundred royal guards in his hands. Every night in his own back garden, he trained soldiers and crafted weapons.
In order to be able to carry out in secret, he bought many chickens and ducks and put them in the back garden to cover up the sound of military training. At this time, it is estimated that Zhu Di did not expect that he would rely on these eight hundred soldiers to successfully defeat and win in the future.

2. Zhang Xin rebelled
The main reason why Zhu Di was able to save his life in the early stage was also because of one person, that is, Zhang Xin, who had followed Zhu Di a long time ago, and later, he was promoted by the imperial court to the position of commander of the capital and left Zhu Di.
In the first year of Jianwen, after Zhu Yunzhi ascended the throne, in order to cut Zhu Di's domain, he decided to send someone to take over the army in Zhu Di's hands, and the chancellor recommended Zhang Xin, believing that he had courage and strategy, so he transferred Zhang Xin to beiping dusi, and together with Zhang Fu, the envoy of Beiping, he commanded Xie Gui to go to Beijing with him, and took over and transferred Zhu Di's army in Beijing.
Subsequently, Zhang Xin received a secret edict and asked to kill Zhu Di, but Zhang Xin could not bear to do so, so he told Zhu Di the news, and after Zhu Di heard it, he immediately rebelled, attacked jiumen, and began his road of rebellion.

3. Heaven's providence
Zhu Di had just raised an army, and although his strength had increased after pacifying Beijing, it was still very different from emperor Jianwen's central dynasty. However, in three important battles, the defeat turned into victory.
In the "Battle of Baigou River", when Zhu Di was about to lose, a sudden gust of demonic wind blew up, blowing li Jinglong's flag, which instantly demoralized the 600,000 Ming troops, because the fall of the ancient flag meant that the battle was lost, Zhu Di seized the opportunity to carry out a counter-offensive and won a great victory; in the "Battle of the Jiahe River" and the "Battle of the Tuotuo River", there were many strong winds to help Zhu Di defeat the Ming army.
Throughout the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di led his army to charge into battle, but he was almost unharmed. It shows its good luck.

Fourth, Emperor Jianwen frequently made faint moves
Throughout the Battle of Jingnan, Emperor Jianwen had many opportunities to kill Zhu Di, but he missed it.
The first thing was that at the beginning of the war, Zhu Di was weak and did not fight smoothly, at this time, Zhu Yunjiao ordered the front-line generals to "not make it necessary to kill his uncle's name", ordered the front-line soldiers not to hurt Zhu Di, and the front-line soldiers fought in fear. He spared Zhu Di's life many times.
Second, when he first began to cut the domain, he did not directly attack the King of Yan, but instead shot at several kings of the clan who had no strength, causing zhu Di, the king of Yan, to make preparations in advance. In the end, he successfully counter-killed.
Third, before cutting the domain, Zhu Di placed his three sons in Nanjing as hostages. With these three men in hand, Emperor Jianwen was able to easily balance Zhu Di, but he was soft-hearted and put him back in Beijing. After his son returned, Zhu Di immediately rebelled.

5. Summary
In the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di used a domain to oppose the central government and successfully seized power, which was a special case in Chinese history. In addition to Zhu Di's own strength, the strength of his qi luck is also rare in the world. No wonder Yao Guangxiao, the black-clad prime minister, said, "The Heavenly Dao is in Yan."
