In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the throne passed to his grandson, Emperor Jianwen. However, Emperor Jianwen's uncle, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was dissatisfied with his status and launched a rebellion known as the "Battle of Jingyan", successfully seizing the throne and becoming the new emperor - Ming Chengzu.

Although Zhu Di was victorious, he was not recognized by everyone. In particular, some local powers and nobles in the south expressed doubts and opposition to his rule. These reactionaries orchestrated an uprising known as the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" in an attempt to overthrow Zhu Di's rule.

Among the rebels, the most influential were the three feudal towns of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou. The military strength of these three feudal towns is strong, and if they are united, they will be a force to be reckoned with. Therefore, Zhu Di decided to go out in person to quell these three rebellions.

He first sent the general Lan Yu to attack the southwestern frontier of Yunnan, and achieved some initial success. He then sent another army to attack Sichuan and Guizhou. After a long period of fighting, the resistance of the three feudatories was gradually weakened.

In the end, Zhu Di personally led a large army to attack Yunnan. In this crucial battle, he outwitted and successfully defeated the enemy's main forces. Subsequently, the rebel armies in other regions were also defeated one by one, and the rebellion of the three feudatories finally came to an end.

Through this war, Zhu Di not only consolidated his power, but also demonstrated his leadership and military talents to the whole country. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to strengthen the centralization of power and further strengthen the political system of the Ming Dynasty.

But in any case, the war ended in Zhu Di's victory, marking a new stage of stable development for the Ming Dynasty.
