Did Li Jinglong go easy on him in the Battle of Jingnan?
There was no clear answer to the question of whether Li Jinglong had gone easy on them during the Battle of Jingnan. Some documents mentioned that Li Jinglong might have gone easy in the battle to ensure Zhu Di's victory, but there were other views that Li Jinglong's victory was a manifestation of his military talent. However, these opinions did not provide enough evidence to support or refute Li Jinglong's claim that he had gone easy on her. Therefore, it was impossible to determine if Li Jinglong had gone easy on them.

Jingnan War God Li Jinglong
Li Jinglong was a general during the Ming Dynasty. He played an important role in the Battle of Jingnan. He once led an army to attack Peiping, but failed to break through the city gates. After Zhu Di returned to reinforce him, Li Jinglong was defeated again and finally fled back to Nanjing. As for why he could become the head of the ministers, the literature did not mention a clear reason. However, his performance in the Battle of Jingnan and the fact that he was named the head of the meritorious officials by Zhu Di may be one of the reasons why he gained an important position among the ministers.
The Battle of Jingnan
The Battle of Jingnan was a battle between Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty (then King of Yan) Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen for the throne. It took place from the first year of Jianwen (1399) to the fourth year of Jianwen (1402). After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the policy of enfeoffment of kings. In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, ascended the throne. In order to eliminate the threat of the vassal kings to the throne, he implemented the policy of "cutting the vassal states" with the support of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others. In July of the same year, Zhu Di rebelled in the name of "Jingnan". After Zhu Di raised his army, he quickly removed the threat from the periphery of Peiping. At first, Zhu Yunwen worshiped Geng Bingwen as a general to crusade against Zhu Di. In August of the first year of Jianwen, Geng Bingwen was defeated in the Battle of Zhending. Zhu Yunwen replaced Geng Bingwen with Li Jinglong to take charge of the affairs of Pingyan. However, Li Jinglong's 500,000 troops were defeated by Zhu Di in less than a year in Zhengba Village, Baigou River, and other places. They were almost completely annihilated. Zhu Di's military strength was strengthened after he incorporated the troops of Zhu Quan, the Prince of Ning. After that, Zhu Di besieged Jinan for three months without success. In September of the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen took Sheng Yong as the general to crusade against Zhu Di. In the battle of Dongchang, Zhu Di was surrounded by Sheng Yong. Fortunately, he was saved by his second son Zhu Gaoxu. In March of the third year of Jianwen and March of Leap, Zhu Di successively defeated Sheng Yong in Jiahe and Gaocheng. Later, Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di's peace talks failed. In December of the same year, Zhu Di learned that the defense of Jinling, the capital, was empty and sent troops south. Although he was defeated at the foot of Qimei Mountain, he still insisted on advancing. After winning the Battle of Lingbi, he went all the way to Sizhou, conquered the fetus, occupied Yangzhou, and pointed straight to Jinling. Zhu Yunwen sent envoys several times to negotiate peace but was rejected. On June 13, the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Sui and Li Jinglong opened the gates of Jinling to welcome Zhu Di into the city. After Zhu Yunwen set fire to the palace, his whereabouts were unknown (some said he died of self-immolation, others said he fled the capital). The four-year battle of Jingnan ended with Zhu Di's victory. On June 27, the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

The Death of Li Jinglong
There was no clear record of Li Jinglong's cause of death. Some documents believe that he died in the fourth year of Ming Xuande (1429), while others record that he died in the last years of Yongle. Li Jinglong's descendants were conferred the title of Marquis of Linhuai during the Qing Dynasty and had been officials for generations. However, the search results did not provide any conclusive information about his specific cause of death and outcome. Therefore, it was impossible to accurately answer the cause of Li Jinglong's death.
Li Jinglong and Zhu Di
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 is not bad at fighting.
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
Li Jinglong's father was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Li Wenzhong.
Li Jinglong's Son
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 Descendant
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.
The Strongest Prodigal, Li Jinglong
There were many reasons why Li Jinglong was known as the " strongest prodigal." First of all, he was born in a prestigious family. His grandfather and father were founding heroes, especially his father, Li Wenzhong. Li Jinglong had received a good education since he was a child. Zhu Yuanzhang also valued him very much. He was still training troops in many places. He performed well in the tea horse trade and was entrusted with important tasks, such as serving as the general of the Krupp Breaking Army. These were all the team that Zhu Yuanzhang had arranged for Zhu Yunwen. However, his performance in the Battle of Jingnan was extremely terrible. During the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Yunwen trusted him greatly and assigned him 500,000 elite soldiers. However, he had been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield. He had even handed over more than a million stones of grain stored in the strategic town of Dezhou to the Yan army, causing the imperial court's army to wipe out millions of people. Not only did this consume a large amount of Jianwen Emperor's military power, but it also dealt a serious blow to the morale of the court. In the end, when the Yan army was approaching Nanjing, he and the King of the Valley, Zhu Wei, opened the city gate to welcome the surrender, which directly led to the fall of Nanjing and the death of the Jianwen court. His performance had completely betrayed Emperor Jianwen's trust, causing all the resources and advantages he had accumulated to go to waste. Therefore, he was called the " strongest prodigal."
The standpoint of the vassal kings in the battle of Jingnan
In the Battle of Jingnan, the vassal kings had three main standpoints. There were a total of five vassal kings who supported Zhu Di. They were the fifth prince of Zhou, Zhu Wei, the seventh prince of Qi, Zhu Wei, the thirteenth prince of Qi, Zhu Gui, the eighteenth prince of Min, Zhu Wei, and the seventeenth prince of Ning, Zhu Quan. Among them, Zhu Quan was forced to support Zhu Di, while the other four sincerely hoped that Zhu Di would succeed. This was because they had been imprisoned in Nanjing by Zhu Yunwen. After Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he was the first to attack Zhu Wei. Four vassal kings supported Zhu Yunwen. There were still eleven vassal kings who remained neutral. Most of them chose to remain neutral because they thought it was too risky to stand on the side. Although Emperor Jianwen was young, he had established a strong power base. Many vassal kings had been suppressed by the power reduction and did not dare to act rashly. Even if they had objections, they could only bear with it. At the same time, they were not sure whether Zhu Di could defeat Zhu Yunwen. They did not dare to support any side rashly and only wanted to keep their position.
