Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<..."So what? How long can the Ming emperor hold out? Their grandson is in our hands, what can he possibly do to us?"
At that time, we can use the Crown Prince as hostage to make many demands on them. For example, we can ask them to cede some of the southwestern territory to Annam.
Alternatively, we could demand a large amount of gold, silver, and powerful weapons. In short, once the Crown Prince falls into our hands, we will have enough confidence to challenge the Ming Dynasty.
If the old emperor of the Ming Dynasty dies because of this, we can take the crown prince and seize the Ming territory. If the old emperor does not die because of this, he will never give up the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
As I said before, if he cannot give up the Ming Dynasty's crown prince, then we have the right to negotiate with him and can obtain more benefits from the Ming Dynasty.
Then we still won't release the crown prince back to them. We'll wait until their old emperor dies, then we can take the crown prince and occupy the Ming territory again.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Annamite court, from the prince to the ministers, had their eyes light up.
They thought the plan was absolutely brilliant, so perfect it could be described as flawless.
In fact, this plan is quite good and has a certain degree of feasibility.
Of course, this is just a normal way of thinking about the Ming Dynasty.
There might still be a chance of success.
After all, if Annam had an army of 300,000 to attack Yunnan, the chances of victory would have been much higher with an army of 100,000.
And this grandson of the Ming Dynasty took a very risky trip to the border.
If Annam were to actually conquer Yunnan, then the Crown Prince would definitely fall into their hands.
If the crown prince falls into their hands, their plan to use him to threaten Zhu Yuanzhang and eventually conquer the Ming Dynasty might actually come to fruition.
But unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty can only be judged by common sense.
How can we judge Zhu Yunwen by common sense?
