How Zhu Di Defeated Li Jinglong

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.

Li Jinglong was Zhu Di's nephew. His father was Li Wenzhong, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. Li Jinglong and Zhu Di were relatives.

Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunwen were cousins. Li Jinglong was the son of Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, and Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, so Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunwen were relatives of the same generation. Zhu Yunwen had a good relationship with Li Jinglong before he ascended the throne, and Li Jinglong was the assistant minister Zhu Yuanzhang left to Zhu Yunwen, so Zhu Yunwen trusted Li Jinglong very much. Li Jinglong was also Zhu Yunwen's trusted aide and had once helped Zhu Yunwen destroy the residence of the Prince of Zhou, Zhu Xi. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen chose Li Jinglong as the commander to lead the army against Zhu Di. However, Li Jinglong was defeated repeatedly in the battle and finally became Zhu Di's hero.

The reason why Li Jinglong became a mole could be explained from the following aspects. First of all, Qin Wangfei told Li Jinglong that they not only wanted to gather intelligence, but also wanted to drive a wedge between the Zhu family's father and son, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, so as to plant the hidden danger of the dynasty collapsing. Hai Bie thought that Li Jinglong was a man who liked to be extravagant and self-righteous, and was easily deceived. Secondly, on the way to escort Princess Haibie, Li Jinglong was full of praise for Haibie's beauty and did not refuse her requests, showing that he liked Haibie and fell in love with her. Hai Bie recommended Li Jinglong because he had a good impression of her and could use him to achieve his own goals. In addition, Li Jinglong was at odds with Zhu Di during the Battle of Jingnan. The more he went, the more he leaned towards Zhu Di. In the end, he opened the door and surrendered, becoming Zhu Di's great hero. These clues indicated that Li Jinglong might be a mole planted by Zhu Di beside Emperor Jianwen. However, the specific details and motives of Li Jinglong becoming a mole were still unclear, and further research and understanding were needed.

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.
