"After being promoted, Zhu Yuanzhang left Haozhou City and headed south to Dingyuan."

"On the way to Dingyuan, he successfully recruited thousands more people. Zhu Yuanzhang led this team to attack the Yuan army camp in Dingyuan. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited new soldiers while fighting, and at the same time he continued to recruit and surrender to expand his team. Zhu Yuanzhang The wings are also gradually becoming fuller.”

"After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chuzhou, the old leader Guo Zixing was forced to fight internally in Haozhou, so he had to leave Haozhou and sneak into Chuzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately handed over his military power. In 1355, Zhu Yuanzhang captured He County. Guo Zixing immediately appointed Zhu Yuanzhang as the chief military officer and guarded it. and the state.”

"In the 16th year of Zhizheng (1356), Guo Zixing died of illness, and the 28-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang became the actual coach of this team, taking advantage of Zhang Shicheng's opportunity to attack the Yuan army in Jiangnan."

"Zhu Yuanzhang, who was recharging his strength, finally took action. He personally led the land and sea army and divided his troops into three groups to attack Jiqing. He captured Jiqing in just 10 days. He renamed Yingtianfu (today's Nanjing)."

"After Zhu Yuanzhang obtained the territory of Yingtian, he recuperated and rapidly expanded his strength. He was also a warlord at the time."

"While fighting for the hearts and minds of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang have one thing in common: they are very capable of recognizing and employing people, so all kinds of talents are willing to join Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Zhu Yuanzhang always respected Confucian scholars very much in the process of opening up new territories."

"These people played a big role in Zhu Yuanzhang's unification of the country."

"Zhu Yuanzhang established a base centered on Yingtian, but his own territory was also the smallest. At that time, there were many heroes in the Central Plains. There was Chen Youliang to the west of Yingtian, Zhang Shicheng to the east, Chen Youding to the south, and Guozhen to the southeast. Zhu Yuanzhang could be said to be the capital of both the front and the back. It’s the enemy.”

"Chen Youding's goal is to protect the territory and establish a stronghold. He doesn't have much ambition."

"Zhang Shicheng is a wallflower. He has two rivals for the leader of the Yuan Dynasty. Among them, Chen Youliang in the west is the strongest, and he is also the most ambitious. He is the most dangerous enemy Zhu Yuanli encountered after he occupied Yingtian."

"Sure enough, as Zhu Yuanzhang expected, Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui and proclaimed himself emperor in Caishi soon. However, these territories were obviously not enough for Chen Youliang. He persuaded Zhang Shicheng to attack Yingtian from east to west. After that, he agreed to divide Zhu Yuanzhang's territory equally. Yingtian's situation was critical. .”

"Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. At that time, everyone had different opinions and it was difficult to come up with a good strategy."

"Zhu Yuanzhang then asked Liu Bowen for his opinion. Liu Bowen believed that although Chen Youliang was the most powerful, he would kill the emperor and stand on his own initiative, which was unpopular with the people. Zhang Shicheng had always been a weakling. If he attacked Chen Youliang, he would definitely sit back and ignore it. If he attacked Zhang Shicheng first, Chen Youliang would take advantage of the troubled waters. .”

"Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with his judgment, so he designed to lure Chen Youliang deep into his trap."

"Zhu Yuanzhang learned that his general Kang Maocai and Chen Youliang were old friends. Kang Maocai played the role of Huang Gai in the Three Kingdoms. He compiled a letter and sent it to Chen Youliang's camp. Kang Maocai pretended to meet Chen Youliang at Jiangdong Bridge and made an appointment with Chen Youliang. Attacking Yingtian, Chen Youliang believed it to be true."

Huang Gai:......

Qianlong: Haha!The description is spot on, Huang Gai, you can let Ms. Zhang talk about your problem later when there is time, but we can’t talk about it.

"A remark: When Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer! We will talk about the specific details later. The general meaning is that I am willing to be deceived!"

Fusu:? ?Is this how this sentence is explained?Anyone else want to be cheated?

Zhao Kuangyin: Ahem!right!That's what I mean!
"At this moment, Chen Youliang led the main force of the fleet to Jiangdong Bridge on the outskirts of Yingtian. He thought he could catch Zhu Yuanzhang off guard, but when he arrived, he found that he had been deceived." "But it was too late, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led his generals to ambush , the unprepared Chen Youliang fled in defeat."

"Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to launch an all-out attack on Jiangxi and southeastern Hubei. Even Chen Youliang's hometown, Jiangzhou, was taken away. Chen Youliang was homeless and forced to flee to Wuchang."

"As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Three years later, Chen Youliang, who had regained his strength, had another decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang at Poyang Lake. The battle between the two sides lasted for 36 days. Because Chen Youliang's fleet was not as agile as Zhu Yuanzhang's small boat, he was burned by Zhu Yuanzhang. The serial boat was defeated and fled.”

"On October 1363, 10, Chen Youliang, one of the heroes in the late Yuan Dynasty, was shot to death by a cold arrow while breaking through."

"After killing Chen Youliang, his next target is Zhang Shicheng."

"In May of the 26th year of Zhengzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang officially issued an order to attack Zhang Shicheng."

"Zhu Yuanzhang first surrounded Pingjiang with heavy troops, and then sent people to start a public opinion war. In his crusade, he revealed the decadence of the rule in the late Yuan Dynasty, won over the masses, and stabilized people's hearts. In November of the same year, Hangzhou, Huzhou and other places surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhang Shicheng is now isolated and helpless and can only defend Pingjiang."

"In the end, Zhang Shicheng was captured and taken to Yingtian."

"In the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Tang He as the general in the southern expedition to attack Fang Guozhen, who had been separatist in eastern Zhejiang for many years. Finally, Fang Guozhen also surrendered."

"After Zhang Shicheng was eliminated and Jiangnan was unified, in the first year of Hongwu, 40-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and his country was named Daming. At this time, there were still some Yuan troops remaining in the north, but their military capabilities and power should not be underestimated."

"Zhu Yuanzhang began to order the Northern Expedition. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da as the chief general and Chang Yuchun as the deputy general, leading an army of 25 to march north to the Central Plains."

"It took just over a year for the Northern Expedition to capture Dadu, and the Yuan Dynasty was over. Emperor Yuan Shun had no choice but to abandon the city and flee to the Mongolian grasslands. At this point, the 98-year rule of the Mongolian nobles in the Central Plains was completely ended."

"Zhu Yuanzhang was a shepherd boy without any background or aristocratic blood, but he miraculously rose to become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty and ushered in the Ming Dynasty era."

"This scene can be said to be a miracle in history, and it makes people want to understand the reason for Zhu Yuanzhang's rise."

"Zhu Yuanzhang's early life experience seems not surprising, but the leadership talent he displayed when he was young is amazing."

"He has strong understanding and insight. He quickly sees through the strategies and tricks of others and avoids many dangers with his clever mind."

"In addition, he is extremely mobile, which can be seen from the things he rewards. He is really good at hunting, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also proficient in equestrian and bow and arrow skills, and he also has a high interest in war and military strategy. understand."

"Also, Zhu Yuanzhang's leadership style is also unusual. On many occasions, he will go into battle personally, charge into battle, and not be afraid of the enemy."

"This particularly courageous act made his soldiers think of him not only as a leader, but also as a military commander who would fight to the end for his beliefs and his country."
