As a result, we failed to break the city and finally had no choice but to withdraw. The reason why Jinan has never been captured is not only because Tiexuan and Shengyong are well-directed, but also because Tiexuan's one-step move is bad. Judy has won many battles, but the situation is unfavorable. Jinan's strategic position is extremely important. After the "Battle of Jingnan" broke out, relying on the prestige of leading troops for many years, it quickly captured the surrounding areas of Beiping.
The imperial court did not lead a crusade, but was defeated by Judy in the battle of Hutuo River. The imperial court reassigned Li Jinglong to lead the 500,000 Northern Expedition and was defeated again in the battle of Zhengcunba. In April of the second year of his reign (1400), the imperial court sent reinforcements again, and Li Jinglong led 600,000 troops to the northern expedition again, and the two sides fought fiercely in Baigou River.
The imperial army already had the absolute upper hand, but at the critical moment, a strange wind broke Li Jinglong's handsome flag, which led to the chaos of the imperial army and was defeated by Judy's army. For Judy, Jingnan has won many battles, but it has always been confined to Hebei, so it is difficult to expand, and it can still win the battle against the imperial court in a short time.
But after a long time, the disadvantages of conquering the world with one corner's strength will be exposed, and Judy, who has difficulties in logistics supply, will inevitably be unable to compete with Zhu Yunwen, who is the best in the world. If Jinan can be captured, the Yan army can cut off the north-south ties of the imperial court, cross the river south and threaten Nanjing, and retreat to defend itself.
Moreover, Judy's control will be greatly expanded, so that she is truly qualified to go global. Therefore, Jinan is an extremely important step for Judy to compete for the world, and Judy can say that she is sure to win. Judy besieged Jinan for three months, and Tie Xuan forced Judy's army to retreat.
After the defense of Jinan began, Judy first sent a letter to the city to invite surrender, but failed. On May 17th, the third year of Wen Jian (1400), Tie Xuan, in order to win the Yanjun in Jinan as soon as possible, got a genial smile and decided to catch the thief first, and sent more than a thousand people out of the city to cheat and surrender, hoping to lure Judy into the city and slay her.
The next day, Judy personally led the army into the city. As a result, when he reached the city gate, the iron plate preset at the city gate fell, but because it fell a little faster, it only hit Judy's mount head. Judy was shocked by what she saw and quickly changed horses and fled back to the camp. Judy was furious and ordered an army to besiege Jinan.
The siege lasted for three months, but Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan mobilized all the forces in the city to defend their positions. Although Judy used the most elite troops, it was still difficult to break the city. In desperation, Judy decided to attack the city with artillery. Under the bombardment of artillery, even a big city like Jinan could not bear to live.
In times of crisis, Tiexuan made a bad move. He ordered people to write the words "God of the Supreme Emperor" on some wooden signs, and then hang them around the city head. When Yan Jun saw it, who would dare to bombard the wall with artillery again? Even if Judy saw the battle, there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, Ping An and his subordinates, who are active in Hejian area, often harass Yan Lu. In addition, the Yan army went to war for several months, and the soldiers were already exhausted. At Yao's suggestion, there was no choice but to quit. Seeing Yan Jun's defeat, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong pursued the whole army and successively recovered Texas and other places. As a result, Judy was driven back to Hebei.
Although Tie Xuan's actions were enough to cause damage, Judy could do nothing about it. Prince Judy has begun to resist. In the case that Jinan's strategic position is so important, why did Tie Xuan finally give up the siege because he let Zhu Yuanzhang ascend to the throne? There are two main reasons.
1, ancient extreme filial piety
Since the Western Han Dynasty, kings began to govern the country with filial piety, and at the same time, they educated the people with filial piety, so that the concept of filial piety was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the ancestral temple is nothing but a dead thing to ordinary people, influenced by ancient ethics, no one dares to violate it easily.
For ordinary people, if they don't respect the portraits and spiritual positions of their ancestors, they will also be accused of disloyalty and unfilial. What's more, for the prince who is determined to live in the world, he dare not point a knife and gun at his father's throne, otherwise he will fall into public criticism.
2. Judy dare not disrespect.
"People's heart" is invisible and intangible, but it is the foundation for kings to rule the world. Zhu Dijing was originally accused of being a "traitor", and the key to winning people's hearts is "ancestral training". Judy held high the banner of "Jun Qing side" from the day she joined the army, in order to "clear her name".
The so-called "Jun Qing side" originated from Zhu Yuanzhang's "imperial court has no officials, and if there is treachery, Judy, who has mobilized troops and dispatched troops to take the" Jun Qing side ",will really become a disloyal and unfilial" traitor "if she dares to disrespect Zhu Yuanzhang's throne and can no longer fight in the name of" Jun Qing side ".
