How Zhu Yuanzhang took refuge in the Red Scarf Army?

The legend of Zhu Yuanzhang, where is the singularity? Strangely, at the bottom of a society, such a grassroots, who is destitute, helpless, oppressed and exploited most mercilessly, has stepped onto the peak of power. The wonder of Zhu Yuanzhang lies in such a man who has not received much education and has been trained in practice. He started a 277-year-old Ming Dynasty, which has influenced China for more than 600 years, and has influenced it until now.

Where is Zhu Yuanzhang from? There is a song that is very good. "Fengyang Road Fengyang is a good place. Since Ming Chengzu Zhu, there have been nine years of famine in ten years. " This Emperor Zhu is not so easy to be taken. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang came out, Fengyang died, and there was nine famine in ten years. It seems that this man is not so good that he has impoverished his hometown. What's going on here? I'll explain later, not now. First of all, there is a saying here, which is called "from Zhu Yuanzhang". What does this mean? Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang. Is he from Fengyang? Now some people say no, according to the materials at hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral home is Jinling Jurong. So according to Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral home, he should be with our fellow countryman in Taizhou, Datong Township. Jurong, Jinling, not far from us, is a native of Nanjing. What does his family do? His family is a gold digger. As we all know, when mining gold, one is in the gold mine and the other is in the sand. Zhu Yuanzhang is a gold digger. It is difficult to find gold in the sand. Why are there gold diggers? In the Yuan Dynasty in ancient China, including the Ming Dynasty, there were different types of hukou. At present, we have two kinds of hukou: one is urban residents and the other is rural residents. However, there were many households in the Ming Dynasty, including Ming households, military households, craftsmen, doctors and gold diggers. The gold diggers are getting worse every generation. Your father's account says gold digger, and your son should also be a gold digger. Gold diggers should pay corresponding taxes to the government. What tax? Gold rush tax Since you are looking for gold, you must give the gold you have found to the government. It doesn't matter whether you find gold or not. Your gold prospector must pay the gold he needs. Where is there so much gold? No matter where this person escapes, as long as his household registration remains unchanged, he can't escape the tax policy. Zhu Yuanzhang's family fled from Jurong, Jinling to Xuyi, Jiangsu, which is not far from us in the north. I fled from Xuyi to Haozhou. Where is Haozhou? It belongs to Anhui. Dongxiang, which is separated from Haozhou and Zhong, and Dongxiang, which is separated from Zhong, is now Fengyang, Anhui. Zhu Yuanzhang himself wrote in his memoirs: I lived in Dongxiang, separated by a clock, but I was born. What does that mean? My father gave birth to me at the age of fifty in Zhongli Dongxiang, Haozhou. Now some people say that this is not accurate. Especially Xu Yi's friends said that we saw Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Xu Yi. It is said that Xu Yi Erniang Temple is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang was born and where Zhu Yuanzhang played. This material is recorded in the annals of Xuyi County. However, when did this material appear, after the Qing Dynasty, or in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties? In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote his own memories that he was born in the clock of Haozhou, which means he was from Fengyang.

But why is it so easy to confuse these two places? Many people can't tell the difference. It is because after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he renamed the city where he was born "Fengyang House". This Fengyang mansion includes not only clocks from Haozhou, but also Xuyi. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang, Ming Dynasty. In big places, including Li Zhong and Fengyang, later generations took Zhu Yuanzhang's father's residence as Zhu Yuanzhang's birthplace. So where is Zhu Yuanzhang from? Fengyang, Anhui. Born in Fengyang, his ancestors moved from Jinling Jurong to Xuyi and then to Fengyang.

Cao Ye's hardships

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang's family move frequently? To survive. The family is poor and has no land, so we can only plant other people's land. We saw that after Zhu Yuanzhang's family moved out of Xuyi, they moved to many counties, moved to three or four counties, and finally came to Fengyang, Anhui Province, almost like fleeing. In order to make a living, I finally arrived in Fengyang. When Zhu Yuanzhang 17 years old, there was a disaster in this place, first drought, then locust plague, and then plague. Many people can't eat, even bark and grass roots, and many people are dead. Many people were infected with the plague. Zhu Yuanzhang's father, mother and brother all died of this plague. When Zhu Yuanzhang's father, mother and brother died, they wanted to find a place to be buried, and there was no place. All the land belongs to the landlord. He asked others if there was a piece of land where his parents could be buried, and the answer was loudly reprimanded, "The land is not yours. Why should I give you land to bury the dead?" This scene has a very loyal memory after Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, which is great and respected by a country. China people attach great importance to genealogy. What does Zhu Yuanzhang's genealogy say? Many people think that an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang should have a glorious ancestor. It's good to find a historical surnamed Zhu, climb him to relatives and say that Zhu Yuanzhang is an ancestor. So, someone found a person and found Zhu, a university official in the Song Dynasty. It would be a great honor to have such a person among your ancestors. Write genealogy. Write him down in the family tree. This is your ancestor. Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed this and told others, "Don't". I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am Zhu Yuanzhang. He asked his scholars to write down my family history as it is, and write down all my painful experiences without disguise. However, these bachelors dare not write when they put pen to paper. Because Zhu Yuanzhang's family is too poor, too outrageous and too shabby to write. Zhu Yuanzhang read the articles written by these Confucian scholars and was very dissatisfied. No, I write it myself. So he wrote an article, what was it called? Tomb tablet. Now we can still see this big stone tablet in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents' grave in Fengyang, Anhui. On this big stone tablet, Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote the imperial tomb. "Huangling Huangling" began to be written like this. He said, "When I catch it, show me its shape." I often look at my appearance in the mirror. "When I was ready, I caught a glimpse of the shape, but I saw the pale face and white head", that is, I saw the old face in the mirror and the hair of "Hao Shou" was white. "I suddenly remembered the hardships of the past", and I suddenly remembered the hard life of a few years ago, which was very painful. He said: "The inscriptions on the imperial tomb were all washed white by Confucian officials, which is not enough for future generations. It is difficult to describe it in detail, so that it is passed down from generation to generation. " A few years ago, Confucian scholars washed my white clothes. Before, I forgot to write my life and memoirs. They washed me white and gave me good words. How can these whitewashers say that they are not enough for future generations to see? It contains false questions, so it can't leave a real situation for future generations and can't be used as their reference. Now, I want to write my life experience to you. He told how he moved to Dongxiang Town, Zhongli, Haozhou, how he was born, how he met with disaster, and his parents and brother died tragically. The last kind man, his brother Tian Zhu, gave a small piece of land, wasteland. Go and bury your parents. He will bury it. Bury what? Zhu Yuanzhang wrote: "Without coffins, the body is ugly", saying that there is no coffin for burial and no coffin for burial; I'm badly dressed, and I'm wearing shabby clothes. So, what do you mean by "floating three feet"? I buried my father with three feet of loess. I didn't have a coffin to cover with a few rags, so I buried him with loess. What do you mean, "what kind of food do you drink?" Now we call to pay homage to our ancestors, give him something to eat and drink. Nothing but loess buried our father. After Zhu Yuanzhang buried his parents and younger brother together (eldest brother died in famine), he had no life to live. He wrote: "Brother Zhong is weak and has a poor livelihood. Sister Meng took her young children and went east to her hometown." My younger brother is weak and can't live any longer. My sister-in-law has gone back to her mother's house with her children. So, how do you live now? The two broke up in tears, and they lived far apart.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a wandering monk

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's tragic experience and tragic situation touched one of his neighbors, Wang Ma. This queen mother, look at Zhu Yuanzhang. The child is so poor. What shall we do? If you want to help him, how can you help him? Let your son go to the temple with a gift and ask the abbot to take the child in and let him beg for food in the temple. In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to enter the temple as a young monk. However, temples are not places to stay for a long time. Why? There is a disaster in the society, there is no food everywhere, and the food in the temple is terrible. There is no time for 50 days. The temple owner said that there was nothing I could do, and there was no food for everyone. Everyone goes his own way and finds his own way. So, in less than two months and fifty days, Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to leave the temple. What do we do? Monks call it charity, and charity is called transformation. In the name of a monk, he is called a monk. Nice name. In essence, it is called begging everywhere, begging everywhere. He traveled all over northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui and eastern Henan. Often hungry and cold, once almost died on the road. He wrote that when he got up in the morning, his chimney caught fire and smoked. Get up early and get home. After going late at night, I had nothing to eat. When I saw a temple in the distance, I took a few steps to stay here. No food, no shelter. At night, I often lean against the mountain wall, listen to monkeys, miss my parents and watch the moon. Very bleak. This kind of life, Zhu Yuanzhang * * * for four years, four years he traveled all over this land, these four years is a very beneficial exercise for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang learned about life and society here, and he learned how to save himself and survive under the most difficult conditions. He learned to treat people well, and at the same time he learned about the people's feelings in various places, especially the secret white lotus religion in these places.

Throw the army into chaos

Four years of travel has become a very favorable experience for Zhu Yuanzhang, but as an ordinary traveling monk, there is no way out. After the famine, he once again returned to the "Imperial Temple" where he once became a monk. In this "imperial temple", he began to read books, classics, Buddhist scriptures, four books and five classics, and began to learn culture. Zhu Yuanzhang can write poetry and composition, which laid a very important foundation during this period. If there is no big change, Zhu Yuanzhang will probably become a good monk, or a monk, or at most an abbot, and live his life. But this time, the world has changed. What changes? Is the rule of the yuan dynasty has begun to come to an end. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was no rule of law, bribery prevailed, officialdom was corrupt, and disasters occurred frequently. People everywhere rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty through the secret organization of Bailian Sect.

At this time he was in the temple, and his quiet life was suddenly broken. Zhu Yuanzhang received a letter. What letter? A letter written by his childhood cowherd partner Tang He. This letter caused an uproar, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves. Why? By this time, Tang He had defected to the Red Scarf Army, and Zhu Yuanzhang got this letter, which was tantamount to getting through the anti-thief. Where is Zhu Yuanzhang?

Zhu Yuanzhang used to herd cattle when he was a child. There are many legends that he is very clever. He is the leader of many small partners, including a small partner, Tang He. It is said that they used to herd cattle. When they were hungry, they suddenly thought that we rode cows every day and we didn't eat meat. Did we kill the calf and eat it Finally Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, so they killed the calf and ate it. What should we do if the landlord asks them for cattle? Zhu Yuanzhang left a oxtail, buried it underground, and left a tail outside. They lied to the landlord that the calf couldn't get out underground and the landlord was cheated by them. This is just a legend. I think this legend is fantastic. He also said that Zhu Yuanzhang liked to play war games. He is a leader. Zhu Yuanzhang likes to dress up as an emperor. He secretly made a board, made a crown, sat on a basket for mowing grass, and accepted the worship of his friends. Is that he has been very organized since he was a child.

At this time, master Tang wrote him a letter. Why did he write to him? Tang knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was clever and organized. He took refuge in the Red Scarf Army, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang could lead them to do great things together, but Zhu Yuanzhang was very scared when he got this letter. Zhu Yuanzhang wrote an article called "Remembering Dreams", which is to recall the dreamlike days in the past. He wrote that he was ecstatic when he received the letter. Why? I already know that Zhu Yuanzhang will report the letter of the Red Scarf Army. Zhu Can Yuan Zhang walked away and left the temple to join the Red Scarf Army? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have this idea. He didn't want to resist. If he wants to rebel, he won't come back when he is traveling outside. He wants to be an ordinary monk. But if you continue to become a monk here, will you feel at ease? First of all, this letter has been exposed. Even if you don't leave, the government may give you trouble in the future, because you have turned against thieves. One more thing, the discipline of the Yuan Army and the Red Scarf Army at that time was very poor. How bad is it? The army of the Yuan Dynasty had no way to confront the Red Scarf Army, and often took the common people as the Red Scarf Army. What shall we do? After they arrested someone, they put a red scarf on their heads and said that I arrested a red scarf army and killed him. Even if I live in a temple, I can't find a place to live. However, can you live a good life if you leave the temple and go to the Red Scarf Army? Zhu Yuanzhang was very contradictory, so he came to the temple and begged God's help. We don't believe in God now. Because Confucius said, "Zi does not talk about strangeness, strength, chaos and divinity". The ancients were superstitious about God, to a great extent, hoping to strengthen their confidence and help them judge through a psychological suggestion. It is not true that God can help them.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the temple to tell fortune. Face is yang, back is yin. Say let me go with two backs, and let me stay with two backs. A few shots, Yin came back. Zhu Yuanzhang said, you let me uprising alone, just say that I can have a good future, and you give me one yin and one yang. Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind and threw it out. Zhu Yuanzhang defected to the Red Scarf Army, not on his own initiative, but under the impetus of the general environment, when his quiet life was broken and he could not guarantee that he could pass the customs safely, he defected to the Red Scarf Army. Therefore, his decision is driven by the times.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Haozhou, the nearest place where the Red Scarf Army was located. At that time, it was Guo Zixing's territory. Guo Zixing used the White Lotus Sect at that time to unite the people, held high the anti-Yuan banner, and put forward the slogan of restoring the political power of Dasong. Zhu Yuanzhang came to the gate, dressed in a monk's uniform, and was detained by the doorman, saying that the monk was not a monk and the people were not the people. There is a war outside the city now. What are you doing here? Must be a spy. Arrest him and kill him. Zhu Yuanzhang said that I defected to the Red Scarf Army, and the gatekeeper said that you had no evidence to kill. While they were arguing, Guo Zixing came. When Guo Zixing saw this man, he looked very unusual. It should be strange that Guo Zixing has feelings for his appearance. Now we see Zhu Yuanzhang's face in the Ming Tombs in Nanjing. The face is long, the chin is prominent, and the face is pockmarked, which is ugly. However, in words, this is the face of the richest man. He looks tall and strange. Guo Zixing suddenly said to stay and stay in Qin Bing. Guo Zixing took him in. Zhu Yuanzhang is a poor man. He is smart and does many things well. Gradually, he rose from an ordinary soldier to a small vice captain, managing several people like a monitor. Thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang is a talented person, he betrothed one of his goddaughters to Zhu Yuanzhang. This goddaughter's surname is Ma, which is the legendary Bigfoot. Who is this Ma Huanghou? Ma Huanghou is also a poor man. Her father didn't even leave his name, so he is called Ma San, because he is the third in his family. He is also a generous man, with a bumpy road and helps others. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, he killed someone because he saw the injustice in his hometown, so he couldn't stay in his hometown. He fled to Guo Zixing with his daughter and put her in foster care here. This Ma San later disappeared. However, Guo Zixing raised Ma San's daughter as his own. At this time he betrothed her to Zhu Yuanzhang, which actually strengthened his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang. He wanted to connect them through relationships, so Zhu Yuanzhang became Guo Zixing's son-in-law.

Why can Zhu Yuanzhang achieve great things? He can keep calm when he is frustrated and make a difference when Guo Zixing is in trouble. At that time, there was a conflict between Sun Deya, the leader of the Red Scarf Army, and Guo Zixing. Guo Zixing was in agony, locked in a room and dying. Zhu Yuanzhang rushed ahead to rescue Guo Zixing. In the most difficult time, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward, and in the most needy time, Zhu Yuanzhang made a move, so he was very popular in the military. But Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Guo Zixing and Sun Deya had many contradictions, and they were not people who could do things for a long time. So, he dedicated his army to Guo Zixing, and after returning home, he reorganized an army and formed his own. Later, people who helped him farm, such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, all came from his hometown. Zhu Yuanzhang's influence gradually increased, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not declare himself king and award titles like some grass kings.

Several important Confucian scholars

At this time, after Zhu Yuanzhang had a certain influence, his ideal was there. If Zhu Yuanzhang first joined the army to survive, his heart changed after he gained some influence. How did it change? There are several key figures. A key figure is Li Shanchang. Who's Li Shanchang? Fifteen years older than Zhu Yuanzhang, he is called Li Zongzhi's elder. When Zhu Yuanzhang met Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang said a word to Zhu Yuanzhang. What did he say? He said, "Gong Hao also produces." Say that you were born in Haozhou. Where is this place? This place is not far from Pei County, Liu Bang's hometown. Who is Liu Bang? Liu Bang was the first emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu bang also started from the grassroots and finally started from scratch. Your hometown is not far from Liu Bang's hometown, Pei County where Liu Bang is located. "Mountains and rivers are king, and the public should accept it." What do you mean? Speaking of Liu Bang's geographical environment, we now use an old saying that this place has royal Feng Shui. We now say that people should have an environment, and you should also accept him and be influenced by him. Therefore, if Liu Bang can succeed, you can also succeed. But one thing is not to kill, that is, benevolence and righteousness prosper the world, and Liu Bang can win the world without killing. You should learn from Liu Bang and win the world without killing.

Li Shanchang is the key figure. Are there any key people? Liu Ji, Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen was born in Qingtian, Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty. There were four bachelors who came to Zhu Yuanzhang's army with Liu Bowen, all celebrities at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Liu Bowen, Song Shu, Zhang Yi and Ye Chen have bachelor's degrees. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also said a word when he met Liu Bowen. What did he say? He said, "I have won four bachelor's degrees for the world." How do you say this? Say I wronged you four gentlemen for the sake of the whole world, do me a favor, and you will help you wronged. You have to work hard, but I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for the whole world. Zhu Yuanzhang was born an ordinary monk. He is a poor man. How can he be from the same world? My heart has changed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang had a certain influence, he put forward the slogan of northern expedition to the Central Plains and opposed the Yuan Dynasty. How do you say this slogan? As we all know, "expel the Tatars, restore China, establish discipline and relieve the people", as Dr. Sun Yat-sen said, Sun Yat-sen once regarded his anti-Qing revolution and anti-Qing revolution as Zhu Yuanzhang's legacy. Sun Yat-sen also used the slogan of "expelling Tatars and restoring China". It is easy to understand that "expel the Tatars, restore China" and drive away the Mongolian-dominated rule. The Mongols oppress the Han people, the Mongols are the first, the Semu people are the second, the northern Han people are the third, and the southern Han people are the fourth. Now we are Han people in the south, the fourth in the Yuan Dynasty. If the Mongols kill a Han Chinese and a long-term laborer, they will send someone to pay for the burial, and that's it. The Yuan Dynasty was a national prison, and Zhu Yuanzhang put forward the idea of "expelling Tatars, restoring China, establishing Ji Chen Gang and helping the Sri Lankan people". In fact, in order to restore the dignity of the Han people, we should have human rights as human beings. He put forward the idea of "establishing discipline and helping the people in Chen Gang", aiming at rectifying the order of the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was no law, no order, corruption and corrupt officials were rampant. He wants to establish discipline and discipline. Chen Liji gang, set up this program, for the sake of what? Help people, save people. So, he proposed, "Save the people from fire and water and restore the dignity of Han officials." Save the people from fire and water and restore the dignity of the Han people. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang established his ambition to seize the world from a small leader who controlled a piece of territory. So he said to Liu Ji and others, "I am Mr. Qu Si for the world." I wronged you. And Liu Ji, like Li Shanchang, told Zhu Yuanzhang that you should govern the country with righteousness. Governing the country with benevolence and righteousness will win the world and the hearts of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also influenced by one person. As we all know, a bachelor named Zhu Sheng gave Zhu Yuanzhang an opinion, that is, "build a high wall, accumulate grain widely, and slowly claim the title of king." What if Zhu Yuanzhang has a certain influence? Are you going to be emperor soon? Are you going to declare yourself king soon? Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Zhu Sheng's suggestion. Build a wall, strengthen the construction of their own base areas, and guard against the enemy's * *. Accumulate grain widely and develop the economy in your own fields. He set up a field management office and a water management office to manage water conservancy and fields. Grow your own food and don't disturb the people. He established a salt monopoly system in his own territory, collecting taxes and distributing them. Issue money in your own field and manage the economy. These Confucian scholars, including Li Shanchang, Liu Ji and Zhu Sheng, helped him make suggestions. He was gradually brought into the orbit of the traditional emperor of China. He established his political position according to Confucianism.

There is no harm in joint forces fighting.

Zhu Yuanzhang also has a number of generals who can be good at fighting, such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, etc., and Zhu Yuanzhang can control them. Zhu Yuanzhang managed his army with iron discipline. Shortly after Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Luzhou, his influence was not too great. There was a general in his army named Hu Dahai. This Hu Dahai was a general that Zhu Yuanzhang relied on very much, because he was good at fighting. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a tense battle with the Yuan Dynasty, but at this time, the army was short of food and the salary was not enough. In order to let the soldiers have more food to fight, Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order that all people were not allowed to make wine with food. If someone makes wine, it violates the military law and must be punished. However, Hu Dahai's son used grain to make wine. Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it. What shall we do? Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order that anyone who makes wine should be dealt with by military law, and Hu Dahai's son is the one who makes wine. What should I do? Some ministers said that Hu Dahai is fighting at the front, so you can't break his heart. You have to give him a break and let his son brew. Otherwise, Hu Dahai betrayed? Zhu Yuanzhang weighed the pros and cons, thought about it and made a decision: "Kill!" Hu Dahai's son resolutely beheaded! He once said: "I would rather let Hu Dahai betray me than let my decree fail." Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang not only rectified the military discipline, but Hu Dahai did not betray him. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to control these ministers, use these civil servants and use these military commanders to contribute to him because of his strict law enforcement.

What does it mean to be king slowly? Don't be king until then. If you become king first, you will become the target of public criticism. Therefore, many modern people say that we do not strive for the first place, but only for the second. First, there are always people who are tempted, and second, no one is tempted, so this is a strategy of keeping a low profile. So when Zhu Yuanzhang was very influential, he didn't immediately become king. He has Wang Ming Jr. and Wang Xiaoming Han Liner. Liu Futong believed that Han Liner was the emperor of the Song Dynasty. They claimed that the Sun and Moon would reopen the Song Dynasty, hoping to restore the political power of the Song Dynasty. They used the number of dragon and phoenix years. Therefore, after gaining great influence, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not abandon Wang Xiaoming and put Wang Xiaoming first. He was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the general below. It was not until A.D. 1364 that Zhu Yuanzhang began to call the King of Wu. He took control of Nanjing and declared himself the king of Wu. But at this time, the emperor still let Han Liner do it. He is a prince. Liu Ji once criticized him for this. Why? Every New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang will set up a post of Wang Xiaoming in the army, and everyone will kowtow to Wang Xiaoming. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang do this? Let's see. Don't be emperor, don't be king, don't be emperor. Liu Ji said, "Why is a child herding cattle like this?" Zhu Yuanzhang has his own ideas. But in 1367, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to take Wang Xiaoming to Nanking. Who picked him up? Liao Yongzhong was sent to take Wang Xiaoming to Nanking. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the ferry in Guabu, I was caught in a big storm and the boat capsized. Wang Xiaoming and all the officials accompanying him drowned. Liao Yongzhong went to report to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Look, I was on the way to our emperor, but unfortunately the ship sank and drowned." The following people say that Liao Yongzhong is very brave. You see, he tried his best to save the emperor, but he didn't. He died. Come on, this is a big deal. Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish him. Why? So many people think that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to do this and get rid of Wang Xiaoming. Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was full-fledged and could be emperor. If Wang Xiaoming is still on it at this time, there is no way to straighten his position. If getting rid of Wang Xiaoming is a natural disaster, this coincidence is very suitable for Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, Liao Yongzhong escorted Emperor Dasong and met with natural and man-made disasters, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish him. This is the year 1367. That is, in this year, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the title of Dasong, and the year of Longfeng was no longer needed, and the title was changed to the first year of Wu.

In the second year, 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to the Northern Expedition to seize the national political power. Before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang held a meeting and called Xu Da and Chang Yuchun together. How do you think this war should be fought? Xu Da said, "Now we go directly to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. We have controlled most parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yuan Dynasty is simply vulnerable. " Zhu Yuanzhang said, "No! The Yuan Dynasty built its capital for a hundred years, and its defense must be solid. Beijing, where the century-old metropolis is located, has a strong defense and cannot fight first. We must attack Shandong first, control Shandong, advance westward and control Henan. Then go north and control Shaanxi and Shanxi so that the RMB can be broken. " According to Zhu Yuanzhang's deployment, when Xu Da hit Beijing and Tongzhou near the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shundi opened the Jiande Gate in Beijing with his concubines, queens and ministers and fled. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang was in command of the battle, we really felt that he had the great wisdom of strategizing and winning thousands of miles. He saw clearly the situation on the battlefield, who would fight first and who would fight later. What you want to achieve in the first step, what you want to achieve in the second step, and what you want to achieve in the end. Zhu Yuanzhang is resourceful.

Hope to adopt! !
