[Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang] 19 History of the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

Red Turban Army Northern Expedition Speaking of which, how many people still remember the West Route Army? They are already in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia area I have been playing jungle for a long time Because of the harsh conditions here The West Route Army was never able to break through the blockade of reinforcements. Liu Futong is also under a lot of pressure. So he sent an envoy Then Li Wutred had an improper work attitude. The two have been fighting against the wind for several years. I was already very angry Being scolded by Liu Taibao like this Surrendered directly to the warlord Li Siqi The ill-fated West Route Army was destroyed in this way Li Siqi just took over the West Route Army Defeated Sichuan Ming Yuzhen's attack again His position in Guanzhong is becoming more and more stable. then He set his sights on another warlord, Zhang Liangbi. The two started to have friction mentioned before After the warlords of the Yuan Dynasty took shape, they fought among themselves fiercely. Emperor Yuanshun wanted to mediate But the warlords didn't like him This is also normal It takes strength to break up a fight Dayuan Central Army Feila couldn't bear to have a companion Then Emperor Yuan Shun's words naturally have no weight. Stop it, stop it Don't fight anymore Don't fight anymore In February, Richardhan garrisoned Huozhou. Attack on Borodemur Bolo doesn't talk nonsense to him either. Backhand, he sent his generals to capture Yan'an. Prepare to go south to Shaanxi Richard Can lost such a large territory in one fell swoop Directly breaking the defense So I sent a person to deliver food to Dadu. Taking the opportunity to have a relationship with Prince Ayushri Dalara This person’s name is Wang Baobao Chahan has a prince platform So he attacked Boro again There is no difference between the two. Bo Luo also had a backing in the court. So he was ordered to work in the Hejian area. His sphere of influence expanded directly to the Hebei area A larger confrontation formed with Chahan Bo Luo is very good at fighting. Richard Han's men are basically no match. In order to keep Shaanxi Richard Han's family Since Luoyang came to Guanzhong to take charge It seems that they are preparing for a protracted war with Boro. The results are repeated He got good news Discord within the Shandong Rebels Since Mao Gui was killed by Zhao Junyong, The Shandong Rebels have no leader The interior is lined with hills Tian Feng calls himself the Flower Horse King Wang Shicheng calls himself the King of Sweepers The two are competing for the top spot attack each other Richard was overjoyed Decided to pick the soft persimmon Wait for him to pacify Shandong More prestige Come back and tidy up the pineapples In June, Li Chahan quickly returned to Luoyang Meeting with generals to discuss attacking Shandong According to the plan, the Red Turban Army Marching troops through Jingxing and Fukou Crossing Hakumaging Henan soldiers followed Chahan across Mengjin Then the two armies marched eastward together In July, Li Chahan captured Liaocheng August Li Chahan sent his adopted son Wang Baobao to attack Changqing Intimidating Dongping County East Route Army Tian Feng sent troops to fight The Red Turban Army was defeated More than 10,000 people were beheaded Wang Baobao took advantage of the situation and entered the city. Richard Han feels that if he insists on eating, he will suffer a lot of losses. So he wrote a letter to recruit Tian Feng to surrender. Tian Feng surrendered In this way, Dongping and Jining were also captured by Richard Han. Tianfeng has been operating in Shandong for many years Very popular among soldiers and civilians After his lobbying Other counties surrendered without a fight Only two isolated cities, Jinan and Yidu, are left. Richard Han personally led his troops across the river to attack The first general of Jinan left the city and surrendered The Shandong Rebels only have their last stronghold in Yidu Which is now Qingzhou City Yidu has always been a military center The defensive force is very strong Richard Han's army surrounded Yidu Built a large number of construction machinery Hundreds of engineering vehicles attack simultaneously A large wall was also built around the perimeter. Surround the whole righteousness Then the core penetrates the city However, the Yidu Red Turban Army resisted tenaciously. The reinforcements could never be defeated Richard Han took advantage of the internal fighting among the rebels Pull with the backing of force One group fights another group It only took two months to basically pacify Shandong. If he had been at the front overseeing the siege Yidu will be captured sooner or later But at this critical moment Li Chahan unexpectedly abandoned the great enemy of the Yuan Dynasty The Red Scarf Army doesn’t care Ran back to Shaanxi again Helped his good partner Li Siqi to beat Zhang Liangbi Gave the Red Scarf Army a chance to continue to hold on Did you see that this is a warlord? The previous issue talked about Chen Youliang and his army in Eastern Xia However, he was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang in an ambush at Longwan. Zhu Yuanzhang was conferred the title of Duke of Wu by Song Emperor Han Ling'er Formally establish his centralized system Then began a series of organizational and personnel adjustments First is the central In March, Duke Wu transferred the Privy Council, the highest military institution, to Changed to the Governor's Office The nephew Zhu Wenzheng was born as the governor. Commander-in-Chief of Chinese and foreign military affairs The birth of Shaorong was the provincial Pingzhang in local Wu Guogong gave birth to Hu Dahai, who participated in politics in each province. Guard Beijing Fully responsible for southern line affairs besides Zhu Yuanzhang also improved the administrative system In the first month of the first month, Duke Wu established the Salt Law Started selling official salt exclusively The tax amount is 1% out of 20 February Zhu Yuanzhang established Baoyuan Bureau, a coin casting institution Issue Dazhong Tongbao Later, Zhu Yuanzhang established the tea method and Cu method Charge taxes on related goods Through strict inspection and currency control Wu Guogong has a stable source of military pay This is his military discipline Necessary conditions that are different from other weapons It is precisely because of stable logistics and good military discipline that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to survive the cruel multi-party tug of war. Stand firm Fang Guozhen saw Zhu Yuanzhang defeat Chen Youliang The base area is also running smoothly So the old disease relapses Here he comes to curry favor with Chong Bage again. He sent people to deliver exquisite jade and gold ornaments and a gorgeous saddle. Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily that now there are powerful forces in all directions. What I need is money for soldiers and horses Food and civil and military talents Why did you give these things? So I returned everything The construction base of Wu Guogong in the Song Dynasty was in full swing The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was not idle either He knew that he could no longer eliminate the opponent in one battle. So we embarked on the path of sustainable development In 812, Chen Youliang promulgated new academic licenses for prefectures and counties. It is stipulated that every state and county must establish a Confucian school on economic In addition to continuing to seize the Yuan Dynasty treasury, he and the property of the great landowner He also started to farm and produce grain. Distribute messages to farmers in all state capitals Chen Youliang also built a trade market in Jiangzhou Issuance of Dayi Tongbao The Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Duke Wu of the Song Dynasty The fight is fierce south of the Yangtze River The Iron Pot Emperor who is far away in Dadu naturally knows Emperor Yuan Shun felt that You, Chen Youliang, can do it for your rights Killed so many teammates He's probably a dishonest person. So he sent Wailang Jiangshuo, a minister of rites, across the sea to recruit him for surrender. I want Chen Youliang to bring his talent to Dadu Chen Youliang was furious after hearing the news Behead Jiang Shuo in public display This can only show that Emperor Yuan Shun did not understand the other party Lao Chen also climbed from the bottom of society to the top Surrendering means surrendering one's imperial title Chen Youliang has a strong self-esteem and a straightforward personality I would rather go to the dark side He won't accept recruitment either. To put it bluntly, Emperor Dayi is still very confident. So what if Longwan loses? Victory or defeat is standard issue Just play it steadily No longer underestimate the enemy He still has the greatest chance of winning So he started war with the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty at the same time. The Han army divided into three groups Attack Fujian on the South Road Attack Shangrao from the middle North Road Attacks Anqing First is South Road Chen Youliang takes Nanchang’s first general Hu Mei as his coach Massive attack on Nanping Defeated miserably at the hands of former general Chen Youding Look at the middle road again First, Song general Zhu Liangzu attacked Yingtan Repelled by the Han army The Han army was unwilling to be outdone Send troops to counterattack Shangrao Hu Deji can't defend Hu Dahai I learned that my adopted son was surrounded Come to rescue immediately from Jinghua Hu Deji also went out of the city to fight back The Han army was sandwiched Returned in defeat Finally, it was Chen Youliang who was unwilling to fail in the North Road. Send Zhang Dingbian again to counterattack Anqing Zhang Dingbian lived up to expectations Finally got back the throat of the Yangtze River It's a major victory The leader, Marshal Yu, fled back to Nanjing in panic Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after hearing the news Behead him in public Chen Youliang was very worried about the defeat of Longwan Continuously launching troops to attack Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he worshiped Bage. Want to return the favor at this time A Han army surrendered general told Zhu Yuanzhang Chen Youliang killed Zhao Pusheng and Xu Shaohui in succession Internal up and down centrifugal Hilltops lined with trees Looks like there's strength in numbers Actually there is nothing to be afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang listened Determined to conquer Chen Youliang But since ancient times, when armies go to war, it depends on the weather. Exactly when will we depart? He hasn't made up his mind either What a coincidence Liu Bowen’s mother passed away in her hometown Liu Bowen was extremely sad I want to go back to Qingtian to honor my mother Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious I personally wrote a letter and asked Liu Bowen to keep it. Ask him to take good care of himself Give yourself a helping hand So Liu Bowen stayed He told Zhu Yuanzhang that he would watch the sky at night Venus first Mars behind This is a precursor to the victory of the army Migrant workers should obey the laws of heaven Step up the crusade against Chen Youliang Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said it was a coincidence. I also watched the world yesterday indeed It seems we have to send troops early Strengthen the veteran At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already fighting on both sides. Very strenuous If Jiangbei Li Chahan cannot be stabilized again, This game of chess is difficult to win Zhu Yuanzhang said to his left and right On the surface, Li Chahan was under the banner of reviving the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, they are attacking each other with Boro. He openly challenged the emperor many times Is this an act of loyalty? It can be seen that he is talking about seeking public good. Actually seeking personal gain And I heard this guy What a false name to show your magnanimity He actually kept Tian Feng by his side as his confidant It seems that Richard Han has no reputation for knowing people. Let's get through to him for now Find out the details of this person Let’s see what he wants So Zhu Yuanzhang sent Wang He as an envoy to the Central Plains Wang He is the same as Wang Guangyang Also a stupid student A talented man He is eloquent Like Richard is very descriptive Awesome, although the conversation has not been handed down. However, based on the situation at that time, it is speculated that Wang He’s lobbying ideas It should be to emphasize to Richardhan the threat of Boro at the rear The risk of fighting across the river ahead as the helmsman Of course, Li Chahan will consider many aspects. His soldiers are all northerners Water combat capability is negligible And Zhu Yuanzhang’s cross-river battle a few years ago was perfect. Play cross-river battle in front of him It feels like Guan Gong is showing off with a big knife in front of him The difficulty and danger can be imagined And now Boluo has taken away most of Shaanxi The tip of the knife is already pressed against Richard's back. Once crossing the river is frustrated Boro will definitely take the opportunity to attack behind the scenes. By then he will be the second Wan Yanliang When I think of this Richard was sweating coldly. After Wang He’s lobbying After Richard Han settled in Shandong Not only did they not go south And he aimed his fist at Boluo’s younger brother Zhang Liangbi This is his inevitable choice as a warlord rather than a loyal minister After Zhu Yuanzhang stabilized Richard's letter, Set off immediately The Song army divided into two groups All the way was led by Zhu Yuanzhang All the way was led by Yu Guang, an old general of Xu Song Dynasty Two groups of people entered the river to attack Raid on Jiangzhou Deng Yu set off from Wuyuan on August 6 Capture Fuliang County His fierce general Yu Guang also captured Leping County. Then enter Poyang Lake along the Le'an River Heading to Jiangzhou August 12 Duke Wu Guogong of the Song Dynasty led the army to set out from Longwan Go up the river Conquer Jiangzhou personally Plotting to eliminate Chen You in one fell swoop Forget about the mighty navy of the Song Dynasty There are eight characters written on the flag to condemn the people and punish them. Nashun surrenders There are tens of thousands of birds perched on the masts looking from a distance Like a black war cloud The sentries deployed by the Han army along the river all fled in the face of the wind. After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Anqing First send the army ashore to attack the ocean After the Han army's attention was attracted, However, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sent Liao Yongzhong and Zhang Zhixiong to Lead Zhou division Attack the water stronghold from another direction Continue the attack on Anqing from Shuizhai But Zhang Dingbian is in charge Song Jun couldn't take it down no matter what. Just when Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache Liu Bowen stood up again He told Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhang Dingbian was too difficult to fight. Let's surround him Just don't let him come out Time is running out now Quickly turn around and raid Chen Youliang's hometown in Jiujiang. Zhu Yuanzhang deeply agreed So he ordered some Song troops to continue besieging Anqing. The large army moved up the river Heading to Jiujiang There is a particularly narrow river between Anqing and Jiujiang. It has been a strategic location for military strategists since ancient times. Right now in Xiaogushan Chen Youliang specially arranged two very powerful generals Guard here But they are also like Zhang Zhixiong Extremely dissatisfied with Chen Youliang's act of killing troops and usurping the throne Seeing Song Jun coming Directly defect to the One of these two generals is named Ding Pulang. The other one is Fu Youde After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Xiaogushan Head upstream immediately I happened to encounter the Han army patrol ship Chang Yuchun at Hukou. Leading the army into battle without saying a word beat it away The Song army marched in a hurry and was frozen Directly to Jiujiang at the same time Yu Guang's army on the other side also crossed Poyang Lake Come to join forces with Zhu Yuanzhang Chen Youliang was attacked Busy in town I had to leave Jiujiang behind Fleeing hastily back to Wuchang Zhu Yuanzhang seized more than 2,000 military horses Hundreds of thousands of tons of military rations After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiangzhou Quickly send Xu Da up the river Chasing Chen Youliang Xu Da chased him all the way to the Zhuankou area of ​​Hanyang And formed a blockade in the river Wuchang Qichun Huangzhou Wuxue Yangxin Huangmei They were all captured by Xu Da Zhu Yuanzhang himself divided his troops into four groups Explore the states and counties in Jiangxi The focus is on Nanchang and Fuzhou No matter how awesome Zhang Dingbian is, There is no way to undo the overall disastrous defeat. We can only break through from Anqing Withdraw to Wuchang Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's victories one after another Zhang Shicheng found the right opportunity to take action During the Battle of Longwan last year He thinks Chen Youliang is more terrifying than Zhu Yuanzhang So I didn't take action Now it seems no What if Zhu Yuanzhang really eliminates Chen Youliang this time? Then he's the next one So at the critical moment when Zhu Yuanzhang was sweeping Jiangxi, Lieutenant Zhang of the Great Yuan Dynasty once again sent Li Boxheng to lead 100,000 troops Changxing to Geng Bingwen’s assistant Launched an unprecedented crazy attack The purpose is to relieve Chen Youliang's pressure At that time, Geng Bingwen had only 7,000 people under his command. Once Changxing falls Yingtian is in danger Zhu Yuanzhang was worried Order Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to return to the eastern front quickly Support Changxing At the same time, we dispatched waste tools and others to rescue Wasted drama has just arrived at the front line The reinforcements launched a night attack All the armies were defeated Geng Bingwen saw that the situation was not good Send troops out of the city to counterattack Want to repel the enemy As a result, he was killed by Li Boxheng Reinforcements and severe punishment Created a circle of offensive They also used ships of fire to burn down the city gates. Attack the Holy Level Chen Youliang discovered that Zhang Shicheng actually took the initiative to help him attack Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed So I took advantage of Xu Da's return to the east. Send King Chen Youren to send troops again Take back Jiujiang Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to flee The situation is very dangerous at this time If the Eastern Front fails to relieve the siege, Zhu Yuanzhang could only continue to draw out the troops on the Western Front Go to support Chen Youliang The army will enter Jiangxi from Jiujiang again At that time, we will unite with the defenders from all over Jiangxi to west The conscripting army will inevitably be annihilated Then the two took advantage of the situation to counterattack Carve up Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop This guy Zhang Shicheng is really insidious. It was not without reason that Zhu Yuanzhang hated him deeply. At this critical moment Strong man Chang Yuchun finally arrived at the front line Defeat Li Boxheng Beheaded more than 5,000 reinforcements Resolved the siege of Changxing Xu Da received good news on the way Immediately turn around trick Defeat Chen Youren Jiujiang was recaptured again and annihilated tens of thousands of Han troops Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Jiujiang to take charge Xu Dama continued to come to Hanyang to put pressure on him without stopping. Chen Youliang was blocked in Wuchang City by him and did not dare to come out. Wu Guogong of the Song Dynasty sat in Jiujiang Cut off the Wuchang headquarters of the Han Dynasty again Contact with Jiangxi branch The Han army in Jiangxi saw no hope of reinforcements Gradually lost the confidence to hold on Fuzhou guard Deng Keming Expressed his intention to surrender to the city to Deng Yu But Deng Yu realized that he was pretending to surrender. So I walked the mountain trails all night Conquer Fuzhou in one fell swoop Deng Keming fled immediately Nanchang’s first general Hu Mei could not withstand the pressure later. Send envoys to Jiujiang to discuss restoration matters with Zhu Yuanzhang Zhu Yuanzhang warmly entertained the envoy As a result, we were halfway through the conversation The messenger suddenly made a condition Hu Mei demands to retain the independent organization of his troops To put it bluntly, he wants to continue to control this army. When Zhu Yuanzhang accepted surrender from others a few years ago, This is indeed allowed Because he was not strong enough at that time It would be great if someone is willing to join us. Who are you to be picky and picky? But it's different now He has full wings The internal integration is also very good. Naturally, I hope to break up the opponent's sword in order to control If you let it go, surrender and keep your independent sword What if he causes trouble in the future? Will cause disaster How did Chen Yexian kill Guo Tianxu? How did Zhang Zhixiong betray Chen Youren? Zhu Yuanzhang will never forget it for the rest of his life Think of this He looked embarrassed hesitated It’s actually very subtle at this time If the messenger could see Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts Go back and tell Hu Mei I'm afraid he will fight to the end At this critical moment Liu Bowen was suddenly behind him Kicked the bed made by Boss Zhu Boss Zhu woke up instantly Change your face immediately Laughing loudly Tell the messenger that a man should act openly and aboveboard Don't tell me that you should retain your independent organization. Various benefits in the future Promotions and salary increases are the same as those of colleagues who joined in the early years. Let Hu Mei feel at ease Later, Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote a letter to Hu Mei Hu Mei dominates The auspiciousness is over After Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered Change the name of Nanchang from Longxing to Hongdu And held a banquet for all ministers in Tengwang Pavilion Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Poyang Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it only after entering Nanchang In order to expand in all directions, Chen Youliang Jiangxi's tax rate is set extremely high We also raised a large number of real animals for viewing The people are overwhelmed So he ordered that these taxes be exempted Return the deer that Lao Chen raised to the mountains and forests People are happy word spreads The generals from all over Jiangxi surrendered one after another Only Xiong Tianrui from Ganzhou is still struggling to support himself In this year's Western Expedition, Generals from Deng Yu’s line shine brightly Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy Appoint him to participate in politics in Jiangxi Led the army to guard Nanchang Xu Da also made great contributions to the western expedition to Wuchang Was promoted to central right minister At this time, the chicken eating competition at the end of the Yuan Dynasty It has been clearly divided into two major competition areas: North and South. North zone seeds are Richard Ham and Boro The seed player in the Southern District is Zhu Chenzhang It depends on which division will decide the champion first Originally, Richard Han's pace was faster. He has already captured most of Shandong. Zhu Yuanzhang had just begun to take action But Li Chahan was disloyal to his ministers Let the Red Scarf Army not suppress it Go and beat up fellow The matter was delayed for several months in vain Zhu Yuanzhang seized these precious months Take down the entire Jiangxi with one against two Push the front line back thousands of miles laid a solid foundation for the subsequent decisive battle And Li Chahan also felt guilty because of this unfaithful act. Laying the foundation for one's own disaster
