Great Ming: You Were Told to Defend the City, Not Overthrow the Jianwen Emperor

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, the founding emperor died and Jianwen ascended the throne. Zhu Gaochi, who had transmigrated, was being held hostage in the capital.

As a history PhD, Zhu Gaochi knew that before long, Prince of Yan Zhu Di would pretend to be ill and summon them back.

But Zhu Gaochi felt he couldn't just leave like that.

Jianwen began stripping the vassal princes of their power, and an army of five hundred thousand would surround Beiping.

Prince of Yan Zhu Di went to seek reinforcements, while Zhu Gaochi had to take on the role of defending the city.

Beiping had fewer than ten thousand defenders. How could they possibly hold off five hundred thousand troops?

Fortunately, Zhu Gaochi knew that toward the end of the Jingnan Campaign, Li Jinglong had once led his forces in opening the capital's gates.

During the Jingnan Campaign, as five hundred thousand troops surrounded Beiping, Li Jinglong, commander of the army, suddenly bowed.
