Zhu Chenhao gathered tens of thousands of troops, claiming to be a 100,000 troops to launch Nanjing, and the vanguard troops will soon arrive in Anqing. As long as Anqing is captured, Nanjing will be safe and will be able to defend. At that time, it is likely that Zhu Chenhao will be captured in one fell swoop, and Nanjing will be

It is one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty and the land of the Dragon Rising of Taizu back then. If it was occupied by Zhu Chenhao, it would have a great impact on the morale of the Ming Dynasty and the people.

At this dangerous moment, Nanjing hurriedly released help from all over the country, especially Ningbo and Songjiang Prefectures. Songjiang Prefecture was the original governor's office of the Sihai Governor's Office. Although the establishment of the Governor's Office has been abolished by Zhou Chong, the Naval School is still there

There, and Shanghai New City is also developing extremely rapidly. In order to ensure the safety there, Songjiang is stationed with an elite force of tens of thousands of people. In addition, Songjiang is not far from Nanjing, so it is the most suitable target for help.

As for Ningbo, it is also related to the Sihai Governor's Office. Shuangyu Port has been classified as a port area with Ningbo Port, forming the largest port along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. There are also many troops stationed there, and although the new magistrate of Ningbo Wu Wending was a Jinshi.

, but he is extremely brave. He is not only skilled in archery and horses, but also read military books, but also attaches great importance to military affairs. He is one of the few civil servants who are both civil and military. Therefore, as long as Ningbo and Songjiang are willing to send troops, King Ning is not worth worrying.

After receiving the emergency documents from Nanjing, officials in Songjiang and Ningbo did not dare to neglect. After all, this is not an ordinary trivial matter, but a rebellion of the vassal king. If someone dares to delay at this time, he will probably be detained in the future.

The thief's hat is a crime of extermination, so Songjiang and Ningbo immediately sent troops.

Among them, Songjiang Prefecture is closest to Nanjing. So the local troops rushed to Anqing to assist in the defense, with the addition of these ten thousand elite soldiers. In addition, Anqing is another strong city, and the bandits and thieves gathered by King Ning are probably the ones.

It is difficult to break this strong city if all died under Anqing City.

Wu Wending was both civil and military. After receiving the emergency documents from Nanjing, he also expected that the army in Songjiang would definitely rush to Anqing, and that at that time, it would definitely ensure that Nanjing was worry-free. If he also brought the army to Nanjing, on the one hand, he would go on the road.

It is far away, and on the other hand, it cannot help much. Even if he is not subordinate to the Songjiang Prefecture army, he may have some conflicts.

It was precisely because of these things that Wu Wending finally decided not to go to Nanjing, but to lead the army westward and fight to Nanchang, the old nest of Ning Wang. Because Zhu Chenhao took most of his troops away and attacked Nanjing, Nanchang

The troops are quite weak. If he can conquer Nanchang in one fell swoop, it will cause a huge blow to Zhu Chenhao, and maybe even force the opponent to return to the rescue. If he ambushed halfway, he will definitely be able to beat the opponent.

defeat.

Wu Wending's troops were sent to Nanchang, and spread the news that he was going to attack Nanchang in a high-profile manner. As a result, when they arrived in Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao, who was already besieging Anqing, also received the news, which surprised him. He immediately prepared to give up Anqing.

Return to Nanchang.

However, King Ning's move was a taboo in military strategists. Since the troops were dispatched, if they returned without success, it would definitely cause a serious blow to morale. In addition, they were rebelling again, and if they could not do it at the beginning, they would not be able to do so at the beginning.

Conquering one or two important towns in the Ming Dynasty will definitely make morale lower, so Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, who are beside Ning Wang, both tried their best to dissuade Ning Wang and told him that morale is not to be extinguished. If the troops were withdrawn at this time, they would probably not be able to save Nanchang.

, and it will also make the army exhausted. At that time, as long as the Ming Dynasty ambushed halfway, they will die without a place to bury them.

Unfortunately, Zhu Chenhao was not his ancestor Zhu Quan. Although he was good at scheming, he knew nothing about leading troops, and he did not have the decision of a commander. Therefore, he did not listen to the dissuasion of his subordinates, and finally insisted on taking the army back to Nanchang with his army.

It also caused the siege of Anqing to be lifted immediately.

Zhu Chenhao did not listen to the dissuasion, and had already laid the root of his defeat. When his army was still halfway, he had already received news of the fall of Nanchang, which shocked Zhu Chenhao and hurriedly stopped the army.

, consider whether I should continue to save Nanchang, or turn around and kill Anqing?

Unfortunately, the Ming army did not give Zhu Chenhao time to consider. Not long after his army stopped, the Songjiang army, which was originally aiding Anqing, suddenly came from behind Zhu Chenhao's army, and used a sneak attack at night.

As a result, Zhu Chenhao's army was defeated.

As the saying goes, misfortune never comes alone. After conquering Nanchang, Wu Wending also received news that Zhu Chenhao would return to help, so he led his troops to ambush the other party halfway. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Zhu Chenhao's defeated soldiers, which made him overjoyed and immediately ordered.

The entire army attacked, attacking the Songjiang soldiers in the rear, eventually causing the rebels to collapse.

Zhu Chenhao saw that the situation was hopeless, and he immediately asked someone to kill all his concubines. He originally wanted to kill his son, but before his personal soldiers could take action, Wu Wending led the army to surround him.

In the end, all the princes, Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and others were captured from Zhu Chenhao.

Zhu Chenhao and others were captured, which also marked the end of the Ning King's Rebellion. It took only one month from the rise of King Ning to the destruction. However, although a month was short, it was given to the people of Jiangxi and other places.

This caused heavy disasters, especially the Ningwang army was mostly bandits and thieves, so wherever their army passed, there were almost ten houses empty. Not only were the people's money plundered, but many people were even carried into thieves.

Many people even lost their families and died because of this.

Just when Wu Wending and others quelled the rebellion of King Ning, Zhou Chong, who was far away in the capital, was also worried about this matter. He was not worried about King Ning's rebellion. The southern army was enough to suppress the rebellion, but just now

Zhengde, who was about to return from the grassland, immediately rushed back after hearing the news of King Ning's rebellion. Now the people have arrived at Xuanfu, and Zhengde also sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Chong, asking him not to rush to wipe out King Ning, he wants

He personally led his troops to pacify, and he also asked King Ning personally that he had not treated him badly, so why did he rebel?

It turns out that Zhengde in history was full of farces when he quelled the rebellion of King Ning. For example, Wang Shouren had obviously quelled the rebellion and captured King Ning, but after Zhengde arrived in Nanjing, he actually let King Ning release him.

Then he led his troops to capture King Ning again, and finally stayed in Nanjing to travel around and never returned. Later historians said that Zhengde was making a fuss and took the opportunity to wipe out King Ning to play outside, but in fact, if it was

Thinking about Zhengde's personal feelings can make you understand Zhengde's mood at that time.

As mentioned before, after Emperor Xiaozong's death, King Ning has always played the role of father and brother in Zhengde's relationship. For this elder who is not a few years older than him, Zhengde actually has a deep relationship with him. He was originally Zhengde

He should have long noticed King Ning's abnormal movements, but Zhengde himself was unwilling to believe it, so he indulged in King Ning in every possible way. However, he did not expect that King Ning would rebel in the end, which caused a huge blow to Zhengde.

It was also because of the betrayal of King Ning, a father-brother-like elder that Zhengde insisted on going to Nanjing to quell the rebellion himself. This was mainly because Zhengde wanted to ask King Ning himself why he wanted to rebel? As for Zhengde's absurd behavior along the way

, it is also a kind of venting pain by Zhengde.

Although Zhou Chong's time travel has changed the history of the Ming Dynasty, his feelings on historical figures are not very important. For example, Zhengde's feelings for King Ning were not greatly affected by him, which also made Zhengde

After receiving the news of the rebellion of King Ning, his spirit was also greatly hit. However, after the military's training, his psychological endurance was much stronger than before, so he quickly cheered up and rushed to Nanjing to quell the rebellion.

Even when he passed by the capital, he did not go to the capital to meet Zhou Chong and the cabinet, and ran directly to Tianjin to take a boat to Shanghai.

Zhou Chong and the cabinet had long been used to Zhengde's actions. They could only help Zhengde to recover the aftermath while ordering the southern army to speed up the rebellion of King Ning. Although Zhengde said that he would personally quell the rebellion, the rebellion was like this.

Things will suffer huge losses every day, and Zhengde has not issued an imperial edict, and even if it is issued an imperial edict, a cabinet like this has the right to reject it.

Fortunately, Wu Wending and others worked very hard to quell the rebellion. Before the court's order was issued, they had already captured Zhu Chenhao. When the news reached the court, Zhou Chong and the cabinet were relieved. They were indeed a little worried about Zhengde.

After arriving, King Ning had not been pacified. If Zhengde led the army to arouse his mind and do anything, the court would not be able to deal with it.

As Zhu Chenhao's rebellion was quelled, some people who colluded with Zhu Chenhao in the court also began to liquidate. For example, Qian Ning, who was bribed by Zhu Chenhao, not only provided information to King Ning, but also brought Jiangxi's

The Jinyiwei handed over to King Ning, and this was extremely bold and arrogant. Therefore, while Zhu Chenhao rebelled, Qian Ning was arrested and imprisoned.

In addition, Lu Wan, who was the Minister of Personnel at the time, colluded with King Ning when he was a censor in Jiangxi. Later, after entering the court, he opened a convenient door for King Ning, and even officials in Jiangxi and other places.

The memorials impeaching King Ning several times were suppressed by Lu Wan. It can be said that Lu Wan has made indelible contributions to the reason why King Ning was able to be rampant in Jiangxi for so many years.

In addition to Qian Ning and Lu Wan, there were also some eunuchs in the palace and some middle and low-level officials in the court, all of whom were related to Zhu Chenhao's rebellion. As a result, all of these people were arrested and imprisoned, although Zhou Chong felt that

Some people only provide some information for King Ning because of their greed for money, which is not a big crime, but the cabinet believes that the crime of treason must be severely punished. As a result, these people were either killed or demoted or exiled.

A total of more than 400 people were dealt with, although not as good as several major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, it was also the largest case in the Zhengde Dynasty.
