Great Ming: The Prince of Ning Rebels First, Leaving Zhu Di Stunned

【No System】+【Ming Dynasty Power Struggle】+【Outmaneuvering Zhu Di】+【Decisive and Ruthless】 After transmigrating, he became Zhu Quan, Prince of Ning of the Ming dynasty. He commanded the powerful forces of Daning and controlled the Three Guards of Duoyan, with a strong army guarding the northern frontier beyond the passes. While other transmigrators were still figuring out how to protect themselves, Zhu Quan knew all too well that before long, his fourth brother, the Prince of Yan Zhu Di, would come to “borrow troops.” Put nicely, it was brothers joining forces to save the realm. Put bluntly, it meant tricking him out of his soldiers, swallowing his territory, then dangling the promise of “dividing the realm equally” in front of him. Unfortunately, Zhu Quan was no longer the man he used to be. He knew history, and he knew that the so-called Jingnan Campaign was simply a matter of whoever had the biggest fist getting the throne! Rather than wait for his fourth brother to fool him, he might as well strike first. The Jianwen Emperor is stripping the princes of their fiefs? Then let there be rebellion! The Prince of Yan is pretending to be insane? Then march straight into Beiping and drag his fourth brother out of the pigsty! “Fourth Brother, don't panic. You haven't rebelled yet? No problem, I'll start the rebellion for you!” “I'll take over Beiping, issue the proclamation, and lead the campaign. You can relax and be my deputy commander.” And so the Ming dynasty descended into utter chaos. Zhu Quan held Daning in the north, took the Three Guards of Duoyan, seized Beiping, kept Zhu Di in check, outsmarted Li Jinglong, fought Geng Bingwen, and toppled the Jianwen court. Stepping over the corpses of the Jingnan Campaign, he climbed step by step onto the throne that should have belonged to someone else. In this life, he would not be confined in Nanchang. In this life, he would take the entire realm.
