Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

After these days of careful planning, he finally began to see results. These wavering ministers were beginning to be influenced by the false intelligence, and the situation was gradually moving into the track he had designed.

"Prince, it seems that everything is as you expected."

Xiao Jinghong walked up to Zhu Han and whispered, "Some key figures in the court have begun to waver. I'm afraid the situation will gradually change."

"It's time." Zhu Han responded calmly, "Next, we need to make Zhu Di's generals feel threatened and start to distrust him. This will be the key to completely disintegrating his camp."

One morning a few days later, news came that unrest had begun to appear in Zhu Di's army.

The relationship between his trusted generals changed subtly. Several core figures no longer trusted Zhu Di as much as before, but quietly began to contact those ministers who had originally kept their distance from the prince.

"These generals are finally starting to have doubts about him."

Zhu Han smiled slightly, with a hint of sneer on his lips, "Zhu Di's confidants are beginning to waver, and he is about to face attacks from both sides."

"Prince, can we start now?" General Lu Dawei asked, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "Should we take this opportunity to completely defeat Zhu Di's forces?"

Zhu Han hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Everything is ready. Next up is the final battle. We will overwhelm Zhu Di in one fell swoop, leaving him no chance of turning the tables."

In the following days, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Zhu Di's counterattack plan was discovered in advance, and the generals he relied on gradually began to alienate him and even secretly contacted supporters of the Prince's Mansion.

At this time, the Prince's army had quietly assembled and was ready to launch the final decisive battle.

Zhu Biao stood in front of the military camp, his eyes burning, "In this battle, we must completely defeat Zhu Di and make him lose any chance of turning the tables. Uncle, the next situation will be handed over to you to command."

Zhu Han took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "Biao'er, today's battle will determine the future direction of Ming Dynasty."

At this moment, the battle horn sounded, and the Prince's army quickly advanced forward, with all the prepared weapons and tactics fully deployed.

Zhu Biao's army once again confronted Zhu Di's main force, and this time, the Prince's army's offensive was extremely fierce, leaving Zhu Di's army with almost no chance to breathe.

As the Prince's army pressed forward step by step, Zhu Di's army finally fell into complete chaos, and Zhu Di's trusted generals also began to show flaws in this chaos.

In the end, Zhu Biao and Zhu Han's ingenious planning caused Zhu Di's supporters to defect one after another, and Zhu Di's power completely collapsed.

"Victory." Gu Qingping stood behind the prince's army, her eyes full of excitement, "In this battle, the prince finally secured his position."

Zhu Han did not respond immediately, but stared at the smoke of the battlefield in the distance, with no extra expression on his face.

Everyone returned to the Prince's Mansion to discuss what to do next.

"Qingping, the situation is becoming increasingly complicated." Zhu Han said in a low voice, "We have successfully weakened Zhu Di's military power, but the supporters behind him have not yet completely collapsed. What's worse is that some ministers in the court have begun to quietly waver in their support for the prince."

Gu Qingping stood aside, silent for a moment, and whispered, "Are you saying that the prince's path to succession is still full of uncertainties?"

"That's right." Zhu Han responded calmly, "Your Majesty's attitude has never been completely determined, and although the crown prince has temporarily won, he still cannot gain the recognition of all power centers. If those originally wavering ministers in the court cannot be stabilized in time, their attitudes will become the key to the situation."

Zhu Biao walked into the study with a solemn expression, obviously feeling the pressure. "Uncle, you have always said that we cannot relax. Does the current situation mean that I still have an unstable position?"

Zhu Han's eyes flickered and his tone was firm: "Biao'er, this struggle has never really ended. Victory is only temporary. What really determines whether you can maintain your position as the crown prince is not just the outcome of the military campaign, but the attitude of every minister in the court."

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "I understand. If I can't maintain the support of the court, my position as crown prince may be taken away at any time. So what should we do next?"

Zhu Han sat down slowly, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes. "We need to divide the enemy camp and make those ministers and generals who support Zhu Di begin to doubt the correctness of their stance."

He whispered, "If we can make them feel neglected, or even lose Zhu Di's trust, they will make changes at the critical moment."

"How do you do this?" Zhu Biao frowned. "Zhu Di's supporters seem to be deeply rooted. They not only have military power, but also a very deep political foundation."

Zhu Han sneered, "That's why we have to use indirect means to gradually alienate them from Zhu Di. We have to make Zhu Di feel the crisis of the situation. The more uneasy he feels, the more likely he is to make wrong decisions. In this way, we can weaken his power from within."

"I understand." Zhu Biao nodded, his eyes flashing with determination, "We need to make the enemy lose confidence and completely destroy their dependence."

A few days later, Zhu Han began to implement his plan. The "Modern War Command Simulation System" he obtained through the sign-in system helped him to accurately simulate and analyze the situation.

Through this system, he was able to quickly identify the enemy's weaknesses at all levels, especially the cracks in Zhu Di's camp.

"System, retrieve the latest intelligence and analyze the cracks in Zhu Di's camp." Zhu Han ordered in a low voice.

A detailed enemy analysis report appeared in front of him.

The report showed that some senior generals in Zhu Di's camp began to doubt him, especially in the allocation of military resources and the struggle for command power. Zhu Di's decisions caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

"It seems that Zhu Di has begun to expose his weaknesses." Zhu Han said to himself, with a sneer on his face, "By taking advantage of these internal dissatisfactions, we can further shake his camp."

"Qingping, for the next step, I need you to help me create chaos in the court."

Zhu Han turned to Gu Qingping and said in a deep voice, "We need to use a series of false intelligence to make Zhu Di's trusted generals suspicious of each other and force a rift between them."

Gu Qingping nodded. "We can secretly control some sources of information and spread news about Zhu Di's wrong decisions. As long as these generals begin to doubt Zhu Di's ability, the situation will begin to turn."

"Yes." A hint of coldness flashed in Zhu Han's eyes. "The most important thing in this struggle is to make the enemy lose their composure." At the same time, Zhu Biao has begun to strengthen his influence through meticulous planning.

He increased his support for some ministers, gradually gained their trust, and relieved his own pressure by secretly contacting other influential figures in the court.

"My father still refuses to make a clear statement." Zhu Biao confided his troubles to Gu Qingping during a late-night meeting.

"No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to gain my father's complete trust. Every decision I make is scrutinized by him."

Gu Qingping sighed softly, with worry flashing in her eyes, "This is exactly the difficulty for the prince. Father always has too many concerns in his heart. Moreover, in this power game, Zhu Di represents not only a challenge to the prince, but also the continuation of another ideal of father."

"But if we can't completely break Zhu Di's power, the position of the crown prince will always be unstable." Zhu Biao's voice was calm and resolute, "We can't wait any longer."

Just then, urgent footsteps were heard outside, and a personal guard hurried in, handing over a secret letter.

"Prince, urgent news has come from the front. Zhu Di seems to have begun to secretly gather some of his confidants, and the rifts between the generals are becoming more and more obvious. He seems to be planning to take the opportunity to launch a new attack." The personal guard reported in a low voice.

"Zhu Di has finally taken action." Zhu Biao's face changed and he stood up quickly. "Uncle, the situation has reached a critical point. We must seize this moment and completely destroy Zhu Di's power."

Zhu Han nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "We have already obtained some key information about Zhu Di's camp. Next, we need to create more rifts and make the people around him start to distrust him."

"Biao'er, this time, our goal is not just to defeat Zhu Di's army."

Zhu Han whispered, "We have to break his close support and make him lose his composure. As long as he can't recover in the short term, he will never be able to regain control of the situation."

Zhu Biao nodded, "This struggle is not only a contest of military strength, but also a comprehensive test of mind and decision-making."

A few days later, the situation changed like a storm. Zhu Biao personally led the Prince's Army to fight against Zhu Di's Army again.

This time, under the command of Zhu Han, the Prince's Army, after careful deployment, took advantage of the enemy's vacillation and internal conflicts and quickly broke through Zhu Di's defense line.

"Prince, Zhu Di's army has begun to lose its composure, and our counterattack has achieved a decisive victory." Xiao Jinghong quickly reported to Zhu Biao.

"We have won." Zhu Biao said softly, but his eyes were still vigilant, "But we must ensure that Zhu Di's power is completely eliminated."

Zhu Han stood nearby, his eyes filled with calm thought, "This is the best opportunity, Crown Prince. We must seize the opportunity to completely cut off Zhu Di's foundation and prevent him from having any chance to turn things around."

In the study of the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Han and Gu Qingping sat at their desks in a solemn atmosphere.

"Biao'er, victory now is not certain." Zhu Han said in a low voice, his eyes full of deep thought, "The surface situation we are currently seeing still hides huge dangers."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes, "Are you saying that my position as crown prince is still not stable, and the forces behind Zhu Di have not dissipated?"

"That's right." Zhu Han responded in a deep voice, "Although Zhu Di's power has been hit in a short period of time, some ministers in the court are still suspicious and have even begun to look for new supporters. Although my brother remains neutral for the time being, his support for the prince is not firm. At this time, any slackness will put us in danger."

Zhu Biao listened quietly, pondering Zhu Han's words in his heart. "So what should we do next?"

Zhu Han smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "We must take the initiative to attack, rather than passively defend. Although the situation is not optimistic, this just gives us an opportunity. If we can completely shake Zhu Di's supporters, then the camp behind him will inevitably change dramatically. Only then will Zhu Biao's position be consolidated."

Zhu Biao's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have understood what Zhu Han meant. "You mean, by dividing Zhu Di's supporters, causing them to distrust and disagree?"

"Yes," Zhu Han nodded, "We must use all available means to create internal conflicts and make Zhu Di's supporters abandon him at a critical moment. At the same time, we must strengthen our ties with those neutral generals and ministers to win more support for you."

A few days later, Zhu Han's plan began to unfold quietly. Zhu Han secretly contacted several trusted generals and quickly spread false news about Zhu Di's decision-making mistakes and potential conflicts, making his supporters uneasy.

In the process, he deliberately let some important enemy generals know about Zhu Di's unfair distribution of military resources, trying to arouse their dissatisfaction.

"Once this news spreads, cracks will appear in Zhu Di's core strength."

Zhu Han thought to himself, his eyes glittering with cunning, "And when Zhu Di's confidants begin to distrust him, the prince can take advantage of the situation."

"Uncle, the situation has become increasingly complicated." Zhu Biao said in a low voice, with a hint of heaviness in his tone. "We have temporarily stabilized the situation, but some people in the court are still wavering. I know very well that if we cannot gain their support, father may change his position at any time."

Zhu Han's eyes were sharp, and his gaze penetrated Zhu Biao, as if he could see through all the doubts in his heart.

"Biao'er, you must understand that your father's attitude is always unpredictable. He does not support you wholeheartedly, and if you want to completely stabilize your position in this struggle, you must strengthen your voice in the court, especially to make those ministers who intend to defect to Zhu Di completely lose their trust in Zhu Di."

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, with a gleam of determination in his eyes, "Uncle, I understand. I will do my best to help you complete this plan."

"Prince, the situation is as you expected. There are indeed cracks in Zhu Di's camp." General Lu Dawei walked to Zhu Biao's side and whispered, "We have gained more advantages, and the enemy's morale seems to have fluctuated."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "We must speed up the attack and destroy Zhu Di's main force in one fell swoop while his generals are suspicious."

Zhu Han stood behind the Prince's Army with a calm look. He had accurately grasped the battlefield situation through the modern war command system and arranged the best tactical deployment for the Prince's Army.

At the same time, conflicts among Zhu Di's generals began to break out openly.

Several generals who were originally loyal to Zhu Di began to openly question his command and decision-making. Their dissatisfaction eventually broke out on the battlefield, causing the enemy's morale to waver.

As the battle reached its climax, Zhu Biao personally led the elite troops to defeat Zhu Di's main force. (End of this chapter)
