The detailed history of Rebecca's sweeping across the North.

The Prince of Yan was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of Ming Dynasty. His name was Di, and he led the troops to guard Beiping (now Beijing). Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, died young. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, according to legend, Zhu Biao's eldest son, Zhu Yunwen, succeeded to the throne and was named Wen Jian. At the suggestion of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other ministers, Wen Jian greatly reduced the vassals and deprived the enfeoffed uncles all over the country of their military power.

The prince borrowed the name of Huang Zhi and rose up, so-called "Jingnan". Emperor Wen Jian sent troops to suppress the rebellion. So there was a war in Hebei and Shandong for three or four years. History is called "the battle of Jingnan", that is, the "prince sweeping the north" circulated among the people.

Extended data

Why not sweep the south instead of sweeping the north? There are no comments in the history books. However, it can be inferred that regarding the north-south direction, the main points must be determined first. If the main point is in Peiping, we must sweep the north of Peiping. If the main point is set in Nanjing, yes. The prince swept across the north of Nanjing.

Why is Nanjing the focus? Because Nanjing was the capital. The prince stood in the capital and swept across the north of Nanjing. Geographically, Hebei and Shandong were originally the north, and the prince swept the north of Daming, so it can only be said that the prince swept the north.
