I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

【In the middle of this year, Guo Zixing died of illness】

【Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, appointed Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu as the capital marshal, his wife's brother Zhang Tianyou as the right deputy marshal, and Zhu Yuanzhang as the left deputy marshal.】

【But in fact, most of the armies in Chuzhou and Hezhou were recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang】

【Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is the coach of this team】

【In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to be controlled by King Xiao Ming, but considering that Han and Song Dynasties were powerful and could use their power, he used the dragon and phoenix to order the army.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang followed the strategy of"building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly" proposed by Huizhou counselor Zhu Sheng, and quickly and secretly expanded his power. These three strategies were the guiding ideology of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early stages of his development.】

【...】

【After accumulating strength, Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with his current situation】

【His eyes looked towards Jiqing (nan)】

【Superstition is a common problem among people in the feudal era. If you want to dominate the world, you must occupy the land of kingly aura.】

【At that time, Jiqing was such a place. Purple Mountain stretched across the north and south, just like a giant dragon lurking, while Stone Mountain was steep along the river, like a tiger entrenched. This is the origin of Jiqing's dragon, pan, and tiger.】

【In addition, there is a Yangtze River in front of Jiqing】

【Jiqing is a geomantic treasure with mountains behind it and water on its side.】

【Before the Ming Dynasty, six dynasties had already established their capital here. By the Yuan Dynasty, this place was called Jiqing Road.】

【Not only is the terrain difficult, but it is also rich.】

【The nearby area is not only an important grain-producing area, but also has developed commerce. Most importantly, it has the benefit of a canal.】

【Feng Guosheng (Feng Sheng) is not only brave in battle, but also very far-sighted】

【He suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that he should immediately cross the Yangtze River and occupy Jiqing. This suggestion deeply moved Zhu Yuanzhang, and he made up his mind to occupy Jiqing!】

【In March of the 16th year of Zhizheng (1356), Zhang Shicheng launched an offensive in the Yangtze River Delta to attack the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River.】

【Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the land and water armies to attack Jiqing for the third time.】

【In less than ten days this time, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing】

【After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the city, he ordered to appease the people and renamed Jiqing as Yingtianfu.】

【After Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er received the report, he was promoted to Zhu Yuanzhang as a peer of the Privy Council, and soon he was promoted to Pingzhang of Jiangnan and other places.】

【After that, Zhu Yuanzhang built the Kangyi Grand Marshal's Mansion in Yingtianze, with Liao Yong'an as the commander-in-chief and Li Shanchang as the left and right doctor.】

【...】

【In the 19th year of Zhengzheng (1359), Zhu Yuanzhang successively captured the remaining places in eastern Zhejiang, Chang Yuchun Ke Quzhou and Hu Dahai Ke Chuzhou....】

【At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops controlled various places on the left and right sides of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and were adjacent to Chen Youliang to the west.】

【At this time, although Zhu Yuanzhang had 100,000 troops, he still occupied very little territory and was surrounded by enemies on all sides.】

【To the east and south were the Yuan troops, to the southeast were Zhang Shicheng, and to the west were Xu Shouhui. Although they were all anti-Yuan armed forces, Zhang and Xu and King Xiao Ming were hostile to each other.】

【In the 20th year of Zhizheng (1360), Liu Ji was invited to Yingtian by Zhu Yuanzhang and appointed him as an adviser.】

【In response to the situation at that time, Liu Ji proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang the strategy of avoiding two-front battles and defeating them one by one, which was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang.】

【In the 20th year of Zhizheng (1360), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that"village grain" should no longer be collected to reduce the burden on farmers.】

【In order to accumulate food, Zhu Yuanzhang banned alcohol, but his general Hu Dahai's son Hu Sanshe and others violated the ban and made money by brewing wine privately.】

【After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he ordered Hu Sanshe to be killed.】

【Someone came forward and said that Hu Dahai was attacking Shaoxing at this time, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would let Hu Sanshe go for Hu Dahai's sake.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and insisted on strict military discipline, so he killed Hu Sanshe himself.】

【While winning the hearts and minds of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang also continued to recruit talents, especially intellectuals. Zhu Yuanzhang also built a Lixian Hall in Yingtian to receive them.】

【These people played an important role in Zhu Yuanzhang's unification of the country.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang also respected Confucian scholars very much. In the eighteenth year of Zhizheng (1358), he summoned the Confucian scholar Tang Zhongshi and asked Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty how to pacify the world.】

【This also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is determined to create a new dynasty】

【...】

【Zhu Yuanzhang established a base centered on Yingtian, with Chen Youliang in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhang Shicheng in the lower reaches, Fang Guozhen in the southeast, and Chen Youliang in the south.】

【Among them, Chen Youliang was the strongest and was the most dangerous enemy Zhu Yuanzhang encountered when he occupied Yingtian.】

【Chen Youliang was originally a subordinate of Xu Shouhui's general Ni Wenjun.】

【Later, he killed Ni Wenjun, and in the 20th year of Zhizheng (1360), he kidnapped Xu Shouhui and captured Taiping and Quishi.】

【So Chen Youliang thought that Yingtian could be easily obtained, so he killed Xu Shouhui.】

【He proclaimed himself emperor in Caishi, named his country Han, and changed his name to Yuan Dynasty.】

【Then, Chen Youliang asked Zhang Shicheng to attack Yingtian from east to west and divide Zhu Yuanzhang's territory equally.】

【It's urgent!】

【Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to summon the generals to discuss countermeasures, and everyone had different opinions for a while.】

【Only Liu Ji remained silent, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked for his opinion.】

【Liu Ji believes that the most dangerous enemy today is Chen Youliang, and he must concentrate his efforts to eliminate him. Although Chen Youliang is powerful, he kills the emperor to establish himself, his tribe is alienated, and the people are exhausted, so it is not difficult to defeat him. He only needs to wait for them to penetrate deep and then use an ambush. It's not difficult to win】

【Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Liu Ji's judgment, so he wanted to lure the enemy deeper and create a fighter opportunity】

【Zhu Yuanzhang's general Kang Maocai and Chen Youliang were old friends, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to Chen Youliang's camp, asking Chen to attack Yingtian and saying that he was willing to serve as internal support at Jiangdong Bridge.】

【Chen Youliang was indeed fooled】

【On the morning of June 23, Chen Youliang led the main force of the fleet to Jiangdong Bridge on the outskirts of Yingtian, only to find that the bridge was a stone bridge rather than a wooden bridge. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived and fell into a trap.】

【But it was too late, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambush troops rose up to attack, and Chen Youliang was defeated】

【Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Taiping and occupied Xinzhou and Anqing】

【Chen Youliang was defeated and fled to Jiujiang】

【Zhu Yuanzhang led his army directly to Jiangzhou, Chen Youliang's hometown. Chen Youliang had no choice but to continue fleeing to Wuchang, and then conquered Jiangxi and the southeastern region of Hubei.】

【At this time, the Central Plains Red Turban Army split and its strength weakened.】

【In February of the 23rd year of Zhizheng (1363), Zhang Shicheng took advantage of the danger and sent his troops to attack Anfeng.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to Anfeng and rescued Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er and others】

【Arrange them to live in Chuzhou】

【When Zhu Yuanzhang led the main force to rescue King Xiao Ming, Chen Youliang believed that the time had come for a counterattack, so he led his troops to attack Hongdu】

【Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, Zhu Wenzheng, led his soldiers to hold on for eighty-five days.】

【In July of the 23rd year of Zhizheng (1363), Zhu Yuanzhang commanded 200,000 troops and marched to Hongdu. After Chen Youliang learned about it, he withdrew his troops and faced Zhu Yuanzhang. The two sides launched a decisive battle at Poyang Lake.】

【The Poyang Lake Water Battle started on August 29th and ended on October 3rd, lasting for thirty-six days.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang's army made full use of the flexibility of the small boats, attacked Chen's army with fire, and finally won】

【Chen Youliang was shot to death by random arrows】

【After annexing Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang's next target was Zhang Shicheng】

【Zhang Shicheng made a living selling illegal salt in his early years. He launched a salt uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In the 14th year of Zhizheng (1354), he proclaimed himself King Cheng in Gaoyou. His founding title was Zhou, and his founding title was Tianyou. Later, he established his capital in Pingjiang.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Zhang Shicheng in October of the 25th year of Zhizheng (1365)】

【In one fell swoop, they captured Tongzhou, Xinghua, Yancheng, Taizhou, Gaoyou, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Suzhou, and Anfeng counties, and drove the Soochow forces out of Jiangbei.】

【In May of the 26th year of Zhizheng (1366), Zhu Yuanzhang issued a proclamation to denounce Zhang Shicheng】

【In November of the same year, Hangzhou and Huzhou surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Pingjiang became an isolated city. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【So Zhu Yuanzhang surrounded Pingjiang with heavy troops and launched the Battle of Pingjiang.】

【When the Battle of Pingjiang began, Zhu Yuanzhang built a wall to surround the city and built a three-story wooden tower higher than the city wall. He used crossbows and muskets to shoot into the city, and also set up Xiangyang artillery to bombard the city day and night.】

【There was panic in the city, and Zhang Shicheng failed to break through several times.】

【Zhang Shicheng is capricious, greedy for enjoyment, and very indulgent to his subordinates】

【On the last day of the siege of Pingjiang, Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin was supervising the battle at the top of the city. He still did not forget to enjoy himself. He sat on a silver chair and drank. The people serving on the left and right handed him peaches. As a result, before the peach could reach his mouth, a cannon hit him on the head. beaten to pieces】

【Until the eighth day of September in the twenty-seventh year of Zheng (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to attack Pingjiang City.】

【Zhang Shicheng launched a street fight to resist, but failed and was captured, then hanged himself to death.】

【The fall of Soochow】

【...】

【On October 21, the first year of Wu (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da, the prime minister on the right, to be the general of the conquest of prisoners, and Pingzhang Chang Yuchun to be the deputy general. He led an army of 250,000 and marched north to the Central Plains.】

【During the Northern Expedition, the"Edict to the Central Plains" was issued, which proposed the program of"expelling the barbarians, restoring China, establishing a program of discipline, and relieving the people of Sri Lanka", thereby inspiring the people of the north to rise up against the Yuan Dynasty.】

【The fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Hongwu (1368)】

【Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, his country was named Daming, and his reign was named Hongwu.】

【......】

"Finally proclaimed emperor!"

"If Zhu Yuanzhang becomes emperor, he will definitely be better than the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and the people will be better off."

"Yes, he is also from a peasant background, and it is not easy for him to understand the people. It is better for him to be the emperor than the Yuan Dynasty who did not regard the people as human beings."

"......"

The people were eager to see what Zhu Yuanzhang would do after he became emperor.

Was he, as they predicted, a good emperor who cared about his people?

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng smiled and murmured:"Oh, build the wall high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become the king.""

"This strategy is good"

"I think Liu Bang also used this method."

He has already ordered people to put Liu Bang in jail.

There is no need to worry about anything.

Now all he needs to do isBy cultivating a good successor, Da Qin may be able to change the original outcome.

In addition, Ying Zheng agreed very much with Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal of"expelling the barbarians, restoring China, establishing principles and discipline, and relieving the people."[]

How can a couch allow others to sleep peacefully?

Since the Yuan Dynasty was to be overthrown, they must be completely driven back to the grasslands to graze.

In the country, where wars have been going on all year round, it is also the right thing to do to appease the people.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was numb.

It turns out that Zhu Di learned his ability to rebel from his father!

Both father and son are masters of rebellion.

This family is too dangerous.

Li Shimin said lightly:"As an emperor now, it's time for me to see how kind and soft-hearted you are."

He still couldn't figure out why being soft-hearted could describe Zhu Yuanzhang.

How could a person who rebelled and killed the enemy all the way from a peasant be merciful?

Li Shimin discovered in the light curtain that King Xiao Ming was gone!

As for why it didn’t show up again.

No need to think too much at all.

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with emotions

"It's not easy for us to come all the way"

"This is the country we have built with our own hands."

After saying that, he stared at the light screen in a daze. Where did his soft-heartedness come from?

Suddenly.

He patted his head and figured it out.

"Oh, we know, saying we are merciful is to the people of the Ming Dynasty"

【Popular science continues】

【After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he became even more"merciful and soft-hearted". Paper】

【From this, he created the"Four Major Hongwu Cases""】

【These are all typical examples of his soft-heartedness! 】.
