The Death of Li Jinglong

Li Jinglong's ending was not ideal. After Zhu Di entered the city, Li Jinglong was placed under house arrest and stripped of his title and property. He could not leave his home for the rest of his life until he died of depression at the end of Yongle. Therefore, it could be said that Li Jinglong did not have a good ending.

Li Jinglong was the son of Li Wenzhong, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and was ranked third on the list of meritorious officials. Therefore, Li Jinglong was Zhu Di's nephew, and Zhu Di was Li Jinglong's uncle. Their relationship could be called uncle and nephew.

Li Jinglong's son was Li Jingtai. Li Jingtai was Li Jinglong's eldest son. He became an important general in the Ming Dynasty. As for whether Li Jinglong had other sons, the search results did not mention any relevant information, so it was impossible to confirm.

Li Jinglong's father was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Li Wenzhong.

Li Jinglong's descendant was Li Zongcheng. Li Zongcheng was Li Jinglong's great-grandson. He had inherited Li Wenzhong's family background and served as the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei during the Ming Dynasty. When Li Zongcheng was invaded by the Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to support him. After several battles, the two sides decided to reconcile. The records of Li Jinglong's son and other descendants were not detailed. They only knew that Li Jinglong's great-grandson, Li Xuan, was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of the Nanjing Brocade Guard.

Li Jinglong's performance in the war was not outstanding. He had been defeated many times and was even more arrogant and ignorant than Zhao Kuo. Although he was the son of a general, he did not understand military affairs. He did not know how to lead troops, nor did he know how to fight. However, his background and family background made him important. His father was Li Wenzhong, the general of the early Ming Dynasty, his mother was Zhu Yuanzhang's sister, and he himself was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. Li Jinglong inherited his father's title and was put in an important position during Zhu Yunwen's time. However, he did not perform well in the war with Zhu Di and eventually retreated and surrendered. Therefore, according to the information provided, Li Jinglong did not perform well in the war.

Li Jinglong's father was Li Wenzhong.

In the end, Li Jinglong surrendered to Zhu Di and was awarded the title of meritorious minister in the Battle of Jingnan. During the Battle of Jingnan, he opened the gates of Nanjing to welcome Zhu Di into the city, which led to the fall of the Jianwen court. Zhu Di eventually won the throne, while Li Jinglong was granted an official position and title, enjoying special treatment. However, Zhu Di only used Li Jinglong's remaining value. When his value was squeezed dry, he abandoned him. Li Jinglong's ending showed that he was just a tool in Zhu Di's eyes.

Li Jinglong was a general of the Ming Dynasty. His birth and death years were unknown. His nickname was Jiujiang. He was from Xuyi (now Xuyi, Jiangsu Province) and was the son of Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao. When he was young, he liked to read military books. His behavior was graceful and he was deeply valued by Ming Taizu. In the 19th year of Hongwu (1386), after inheriting the title of Duke Cao, he went to Huguang, Shaanxi, Henan and other places to train his army many times, and was responsible for the tea and horse trade with the West. Later, he assisted Emperor Jianwen in cutting down the vassal state and was appointed as the general in the Battle of Jingnan, leading the imperial army to attack the King of Yan, Zhu Di. However, he was defeated by the Yan army many times in battle, which led to a reversal of the offensive and defensive situation. He was finally recalled from his post. When the Yan army approached Nanjing, Li Jinglong opened Jinchuan Gate to meet the enemy, causing Nanjing to fall. There were no more details about his life experiences in the documents.

Li Jinglong was a general during the Ming Dynasty. He led 500,000 troops to the north during the Battle of Jingnan, but he was defeated by Zhu Di in the end. Under Zhu Di's pincer attack from both inside and outside, Li Jinglong's army was defeated without attacking. In the end, he could only save his life and surrender to Zhu Di. Li Jinglong's failure might be related to his lack of adequate military strategy and lack of understanding of the importance of military logistics. Zhu Di was considered a famous general who had been baptized by many great battles. There was no clear information on whether Li Jinglong was Zhu Di's spy or spy.
