Thinking of this, Zhu Quan made up his mind.
Anyway, there wouldn't be a worse outcome than this.
If Fourth Brother really succeeded, his life would be guaranteed.
As for splitting the world equally, just take it as a big cake that Fourth Brother drew for himself.
After making up his mind, Zhu Quan no longer hesitated.
He said to Zhu Di's guard who came to deliver the letter,
"This king has already understood the meaning of fourth brother's letter.”
"This king also agrees to fourth brother's request.”
"Later, this king will reply to fourth brother.”
"Take it back and hand it to Fourth Brother personally.”
When the personal guard heard Zhu Quan's words, he immediately bowed in response.
Then, Zhu Quan wrote a reply to Zhu Di on the table.
After handing it over to the guard, the guard did not dare to delay and immediately took the letter back to Beiping.
After Zhu Di's personal guard left.
Zhu Quan immediately ordered his soldiers to gather.
After weighing the pros and cons.
Zhu Quan left behind the smallest number of troops to guard against any sneak attacks from the enemy.
The remaining eighty thousand elite soldiers were all handed over to his trusted aides.
This confidant would then lead the 80,000 elite soldiers to Beiping.
Before leaving, Zhu Quan instructed his trusted aide,
"When you reach Beiping, hand over all your troops to the King of Yan.”
"If the King of Yan asks you to stay, then stay. If he doesn't, then come back immediately.”
"Do you understand?"
After the trusted aide heard Zhu Quan's instructions, he immediately expressed that he understood.
Then, he brought 80,000 elite soldiers to Beiping.
On the other side, Zhu Di had already received Zhu Quan's reply.
In the letter, Zhu Quan expressed that he was willing to help Zhu Di to get rid of the traitor for the country.
He also expressed that he did not want any credit.
As long as Fourth Brother could treat his brothers well in the future, it would be fine.
Yao Guangxiao read the letter beside Zhu Di.
He smiled and said to Zhu Di,
"Prince Ning is a reasonable person.”
"With so many soldiers, Your Highness no longer needs to worry.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, also saw Zhu Quan's secret letter.
When the contents of the secret letter were presented to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but feel gratified.
Both Old Seventeen and Old Eighteen were extraordinary.
One could see the future situation clearly, while the other knew how to judge the situation.
They were not mortals. To be able to have such an outstanding son was simply a blessing bestowed by the heavens to the Zhu family.
However, when Zhu Di saw his seventeenth brother's reply, he was shocked.
However, he did not show the ecstasy he had imagined.
On the contrary, his fear of Zhu Quan deepened.
It was impossible for a person to not have desires. Just like his current desire was how to live a better life.
If the Seventeenth had desires, he would not be so afraid.
However, Zhu Quan appeared to have no desires. This immediately made Zhu Di feel like he had nowhere to start.
However, Zhu Di couldn't care less about this now.
Because a guard walked in and reported a piece of exciting news to Zhu Di.
"Your Highness, a general outside the city requests an audience.”
After Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, Zhu Di said,
"Let him in."
After a while, a general in armor came in front of Zhu Di.
After bowing to Zhu Di, he said,
"This general is wearing armor and can't be polite. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
Zhu Di didn't look angry at all.
Instead, he said to the general,
"General, there's no need to be so polite."
"General, what brings you to Beiping?"
This was asking the obvious.
However, the general did not mind. Instead, he said,
"I have brought 80,000 elite soldiers for the King of Yan under the name of His Highness Prince Ning. They are now stationed outside the city.”
Hearing this person's words, Zhu Di gasped in his heart.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing at the side, gasped.
Eighty thousand elite soldiers! What was Old Seventeen trying to do?
Back when he conferred the titles of these Sai Kings, he had carefully calculated the number of troops in each person's hands.
It could allow them to calmly resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
It could also make them not have enough strength to do evil things.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew what these 80,000 elite soldiers meant.
This meant that Zhu Quan had handed over almost all of his troops to Zhu Di.
He wanted to help his fourth brother succeed in his rebellion.
Zhu Di also knew this.
He also saw the shock in Yao Guangxiao's eyes.
Yao Guangxiao also didn't expect Prince Ning to do it so well.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Yao Guangxiao couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
He bowed to Zhu Di and said,
"With the 80,000 elite soldiers that His Highness Ning Wang lent us.”
"Your Highness 'desire to purge the side of the ruler and get rid of this villain is just around the corner!”
Zhu Di could not hide the joy on his face.
He said to Yao Guangxiao and the general,
"Let's go, follow this king out of the city and see how majestic Prince Ning's troops are!”
After saying that, he did not wait for the two of them to reply and strode out of the city.
Not long after, Zhu Di arrived outside the city. What greeted his eyes was an endless number of Great Ming soldiers.
These soldiers were neat and orderly, and one could tell at a glance that they were strong troops.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who came out with Zhu Di, was also very satisfied.
At the same time, he secretly despised Zhu Yunwen, this trash.
With such elite soldiers.
If Zhu Yunwen didn't know how to make good use of it, then forget it.
Instead, they were forced to rebel.
Now, with these 80,000 elite soldiers and Zhu Di, a vassal king who could fight and fight, he was able to fight.
If Zhu Yunwen didn't gather an army to attack Zhu Zhe, he would still have the strength to fight.
Now, how could Jin Ling City defend against Zhu Di's army?
Zhu Di looked at the elite soldiers in front of him and sighed at Zhu Quan's ability.
He was also full of confidence in this uprising.
Zhu Di said to the soldiers,
"Soldiers, there is a traitor in the Ming court who has deceived the emperor.”
"I gathered all of you to eradicate these villains and return the Great Ming to a peaceful era.”
"I promise you that I will definitely not mistreat you in the future!”
When the soldiers heard Zhu Di's words, they all shouted,
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
Now that he had the troops, Zhu Di no longer hesitated.
After returning to the Imperial Residence, Zhu Di called his son, Zhu Gaochi.
As the heir of the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Gaochi had a high reputation in Beiping.
He was about to lead his troops out, and the huge Imperial Residence also needed people to take care of it.
And this candidate was naturally the son of the King of Yan.
Zhu Di said to the respectful Zhu Gaochi,"
"Father will lead troops into the capital to eliminate the traitors."
"I'll leave everything in the house to you.”
"You have to take good care of everything in the residence and wait for me to return!”
Zhu Gaochi wasn't stupid, so he naturally knew what his father was going to Jinling for.
However, Zhu Gaochi did not object. He had long had enough of being a coward.
The face of the imperial envoy appeared in front of him again and again, even though his father had already killed the imperial envoy.
Zhu Gaochi still felt indignant.
At this moment, he hoped that his father would leave as soon as possible to avenge himself, his mother, and the King Yan Residence.
Therefore, Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Di,"
"Royal Father, you can set out in peace. I will take care of everything in the residence!”
Zhu Di was very confident in his son's ability.
Zhu Di then explained to Xu Miaoyun.
He brought along the money and food he had gathered, as well as the nine hundred personal guards in the residence.
Along with the 80,000 elite soldiers that Zhu Quan had sent over, it was said to be 200,000.
They rushed towards Jinling.
After leaving Beiping, Zhu Di marched all the way.
It was all thanks to the 80,000 elite soldiers sent by Zhu Quan.
Even with the high-intensity march requested by Zhu Di, these soldiers did not fall behind at all.
As for the cities along the way, Zhu Yunwen had transferred most of the elite soldiers.
The remaining old and weak soldiers could maintain law and order and collect city gate taxes.
There was no chance of winning against Zhu Di.
When he met someone sensible, Zhu Di raised him up high and landed gently.
They would not hold the local officials accountable.
Zhu Di naturally wouldn't be polite to those who didn't know better.
Kill all these people.
Just like that, Zhu Di attacked cities and conquered territories along the way, invincible.
Everywhere he went, no one was his match.
Zhu Di's ambition gradually began to swell.
He had originally thought that rebelling would be a difficult thing, but now it seemed that it was just so.
However, reality soon gave Zhu Di a hard blow.
When Zhu Di reached Jinan Prefecture.
He had encountered the first nail in the coffin.
He looked at the city in front of him that was blocking his way and unwilling to surrender.
Zhu Di did not say anything and immediately ordered his soldiers to attack.
He had thought that he could easily take down this city, but he did not expect that he would not be able to take it even after several attacks.
Zhu Di's attack could not help but pause.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Di shot a letter of persuasion into the city.
He told the people in the city that he had entered the capital this time to clear the emperor's side and get rid of villains.
It wasn't a rebellion. He wanted the city guards to quickly open the city gate and let him pass.
He had tried this trick many times along the way.
These so-called defenders in the city only wanted a righteous name.
I will not be a subject who surrenders to the thief.
The reason Zhu Di gave was to give them a way out.
Using the purge to justify his actions was the posthumous edict left behind by the former emperor.
If there are rebels and thieves in the court, the vassals can lead troops to the capital to eliminate them.
In this way, this became Old Zhu's family matter and had nothing to do with him.
Even if he were to pursue the matter, his crime was not worthy of death.
Therefore, most of the people opened the city gate and let Zhu Di pass.
Zhu Di stood at the foot of the city, waiting confidently for the moment the city gate opened.
However, what came was a rain of arrows, scaring Zhu Di into retreating quickly.
Then, a letter shot out from the city.
In the letter, Zhu Di was scolded as a traitor.
Instead of guarding his own vassal state, he actually dared to lead his troops to invade the territory.
He even advised Zhu Di to surrender so that he could plead for mercy on Zhu Di's behalf.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to escape death.
A letter was written by Zhu Di.
He cursed at the city wall.
Zhu Di was met with another volley of arrows.
Zhu Di did not hesitate and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the Jinan Prefecture again.
Who would have thought that this general was someone who knew the art of war, and had deployed troops to defend the city flawlessly.
Zhu Di had lost many soldiers and generals, but he had not been able to take down the Jinan Prefecture.
Zhu Di pointed at the man standing on the city wall and said,"
"What is this person's name?"
Hearing Zhu Di's words.
A military official quickly said to Zhu Di,"
"Your Highness, this person is called Tie Xuan.”
"He's the general guarding the Ji 'nan Prefecture."
Zhu Di looked at the iron poles on the city wall. At this moment, Zhu Di had already calmed down from his anger.
He remembered what Yao Guangxiao had told him before he left. He couldn't waste too much time on the cities along the way.
He had to take advantage of the fact that the King of Yue, Zhu Zhe, was currently attracting the Imperial Court's forces to take down the capital with lightning speed.
Zhu Di, who followed good advice, did not tangle with Tie Xuan under Jinan City like in history.
Moreover, they even invited each other's ancestors.
Instead, he stared at the city wall and ordered all the soldiers to break camp.
They went around Jinan Prefecture and continued to head towards Jinling.
Zhu Di knew very well that this Tie Xuan in front of him was not a problem for him.
As long as he could enter Jinling and successfully become the emperor.
Tie Xuan would naturally surrender.
Because Zhu Di knew that Tie Xuan was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, not Zhu Yunwen.
After bypassing Jinan Prefecture, Zhu Di did not encounter any decent resistance.
The path was like a hot knife through butter, as if they had entered a no-man's land.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at what he had done along the way.
He felt very emotional in his heart.
Zhu Yunwen didn't use such a good fighter and forced Zhu Di to rebel step by step.
He could hand Big Ming over to such a waste.
He could be considered blind.
Now that there was an even stronger fourth brother who could take over the country, Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite satisfied.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care who the emperor was. He only cared if the emperor's surname was Zhu.
However, Zhu Di's series of victories were unstoppable.
When it came to Zhu Yunwen, it was not good news.
In the Imperial City of Jinling, Zhu Yunwen was holding a battle report from the Jinyiwei.
He looked at the officials with bloodshot eyes.
He roared angrily,"
"I lost again!"
"How did you lose again!"
"Do you know how many reports of defeat have been sent?”
Zhu Yunwen pointed at the pile of reports on the imperial table and said to the civil and military officials,
"Come up and count yourselves!”
Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the civil and military officials did not dare to answer. They only dared to say,
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
However, it would have been better if he didn't say this.
After saying that, Zhu Yunwen became even angrier.
"Calm down, calm down!"
"You bunch of good-for-nothings."
"How can I calm down!"
"Zhu Di is about to attack the capital!”
"He's here to take my life!"
He heard Zhu Yunwen's angry and desperate roar.
There was not a single official in the court who could give him advice.
No one could resist Zhu Di.
At this moment, Huang Zicheng stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, we still have 600,000 soldiers.”
"I might not be afraid of Yan Fan."
Zhu Yunwen heard Huang Zicheng's words and suddenly remembered.
He still had 600,000 soldiers.
Although these 600,000 soldiers were not in the capital now.
However, as long as he immediately ordered Li Jinglong to return to Jinling with 800 Li, he would be able to do so.
Zhu Di was definitely not his match.
When the other ministers heard Huang Zicheng's words, they quickly said,
"Your Majesty, please recall 600,000 troops to defend against Yan Fan.”
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen felt very regretful.
Wasn't he just a mere imperial envoy? So what if he was killed?
Why did he have to send 600,000 troops to attack?
If not for the fact that these 600,000 soldiers had all gone to South Yue, he would have given Zhu Di a hundred guts.
He did not dare to rebel.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to wake up.
So Zhu Yunwen quickly said,
"Master Huang has a way."
"Embroidered Uniform Guards, hurry up and send out an 800-mile team.”
"Tell Li Jinglong to drop everything and come back to save the Emperor.”
The Jinyiwei who received the order carried Zhu Yunwen's edict.
After the horse left the capital, it sprinted towards South Vietnam.
At this time, Zhu Di had already arrived at a place less than a hundred miles away from Jinling.
Zhu Di's eyes were still sharp, even though he looked exhausted.
After taking out the map and confirming his location from Jinling.
A hint of joy flashed across Zhu Di's face.
From here to Jinling, there was no place to defend.
More importantly, Zhu Yunwen, this trash, had sent out all the men in the Jing camp.
At this time, Jinling was an empty city for Zhu Di.
