The most difficult founding emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, the basis of this theory is based on Zhu Yuanzhang's origin, he is the worst grassroots emperor in the history of the founding emperor of the great unification, completed the Jedi counterattack from the trough to the ninth five-year plan, is a founding emperor who shocked the ancient and modern!
Before Zhu Yuanzhang participated in the uprising
Before the old man joined the uprising, his life was the same as that of the broad masses of toiling people, and he was born into a poor peasant family, which had been turned up several generations, and was a poor peasant, without any celebrities.
As soon as they were a large family, they wandered around to hide debts, and they wanted to be tenants in peace and stability, as long as they could live and have food to eat, they would be satisfied, but such a wish was extremely difficult to realize at the end of the Yuan, causing Zhu Yuanzhang's family to be forced to begin to fall apart. Zhu Yuanzhang was the fourth oldest in the family, the eighth in the family, there was a plague one year, his parents and eldest brother left this family, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to survive separately from the second brother's family, and embarked on the road of survival.
This way, Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk, the monk did not eat and went out to be a beggar for 3 years, 3 years of begging life let him see the people's feelings everywhere, he also saw through human nature in a series of life and death crises, in order to survive, his personality has also undergone great changes, the impact on him is quite deep, in fact, think carefully, in the era of the people do not talk about life for three years to eat, should have experienced anything, Han Xin's crotch humiliation is what?
In the chaotic world, the eldest husband made meritorious achievements, in the face of such a broken mountain and river, in the face of such a decadent and brutal Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang received an invitation from his partner, he resolutely joined Guo Zixing's Red Turban Army, and the 25-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang changed from a beggar to a rebel and embarked on his legendary road.
Struggling Zhu Yuanzhang
Zhu Yuanzhang knew the suffering of the world, Zhu Yuanzhang was on the verge of death many times, at this moment he could fight and have food to eat, Zhu Yuanzhang released all the emotions he had suppressed in his heart, and he quickly got Guo Zixing's appreciation by virtue of his lifeless bravery and combat wisdom. He was well aware of the characteristics of the peasant rebel army's greed for small profits, he always gave all the booty to Guo Zixing, Guo Zixing liked him very much, in fact, everyone would like him, after all, he did not want anything, how did Guo Zixing know, he wanted the world, how could he be moved by these small profits?
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang married Guo Zixing's adopted daughter, known as Zhu Gongzi, and also had the character Guorui. Xuzhou Red Turban Army commander Sesame Li, infighting began, Guo Zixing was kidnapped, Zhu Yuanzhang rescued him, felt that he still had to have his own forces, so he recruited troops against the hometown, a total of more than 700 people were recruited, including Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying and so on. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang had his own confidant, so he was sealed by Guo Zixing as a townman. However, seeing that half a year had passed, this rebel army still did not make any moves in Haozhou, so Zhu Yuanzhang led 24 henchmen to choose to leave, and the south was slightly far away. Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang Zhangjiabao Donkey Brand Village, summoned the open-nose Qin to take the head, and attacked the Yuan army camp in Dingyuan Hengjian Mountain. Expanded the army to 20,000 people, captured Chuzhou, and became acquainted with Li Shanchang. When Guo Zixing came to Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the military power to Guo Zixing, and Guo Zixing was very happy, looking at these thirty thousand elite soldiers, he felt a thousand emotions!
Until Guo Zixing's death, his son Guo Tianxu became the marshal of the capital, but it was Indeed Zhu Yuanzhang who held real power, after all, these people were all soldiers brought out by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was stable in western Zhejiang for 6 years, and his slogan was "build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king".
The road to growth
After Zhu Yuanzhang had primitive accumulation, he began to develop and grow, at this time he was no longer a beggar with nothing, but a strivers of some capital, although some family foundations, but he was still a rootless duckweed, everything in the future depended on his own efforts, and there was no support behind the gold lords and big forces.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was stationed in Hezhou, he had no food, perhaps God helped him, just two Red Turban Army's Chaohu Water Army came to defect, So Zhu Yuanzhang took his own troops, took the water army ships, reached the opposite shore and seized the quarry, and got a lot of grain in the quarry. The soldiers were happy, because this victory had satisfied their food and clothing, they wanted to take home to celebrate the victory, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition was not just to live a good life, he wanted to dominate the world, so he gritted his teeth, let go of all the ships, and cut off the way back. Seeing this move, everyone understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, so the military was greatly encouraged, and they forged ahead and took Taiping. In Taiping Zhu Yuanzhang completed the construction of the base area, set up the Marshal's Office of the Taiping Xingguo Wing, made himself a marshal, and appointed Li Shanchang as the capital of the Shuai Mansion.
Then he took the Chen Zhaoxian military camp outside the city, and his 36,000 people surrendered, in order to buy people's hearts, Zhu Yuanzhang did a bold thing, he selected 500 people to be pro-army in the army, in addition to these 500 people, only the pro-soldiers were left around to command Feng Guoyong. When the troops saw that Zhu Yuanzhang trusted them so much, they all followed Zhu Yuanzhang with all their hearts. This reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's boldness and strategy, if it were not for this, these thirty-six thousand troops would probably not have any help, but rather a stubborn disease that would be painful to stay.
Subsequently, after the fight of Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, although his territory was not large, he had already played an important role in the Xiaoming King's department, and at this moment, with 100,000 troops, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of confidence in the future. Although there were Zhang Shicheng, Xu Shouhui, Yuan Jun, and other enemies as neighbors on all sides, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid at all, and still proceeded according to his own strategy, that is, "building a high wall, accumulating grain in a wide area, and slowly becoming king." At this moment, he had completed the "high construction of a wall" with a base area, and then he began to "accumulate grain in a wide range." Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the original system of compulsory expropriation, vigorously developed tuntian, built water conservancy, and at the same time reduced taxes.
At the same time of "extensive accumulation of grain", Zhu Yuanzhang has also accumulated a lot of talents, he attaches great importance to talents, in the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang Taoguang has cultivated obscurity, completed self-transformation, and its strength can not be underestimated.
Destroy the enemy
Zhu Yuanzhang's main enemies were Chen Youyi, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youding. Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding belong to the people who are small and rich, and they are not worried, and Zhang Shicheng belongs to the swing people and has no ambitions. Only Chen Youyu was Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce enemy.
Chen Youyi
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally realized this, and his main attack direction was set on Chen Youyu. Why is the primary enemy under Chen Youyu not Zhu Yuanzhang?
Chen Youyi asked Zhang Shicheng to attack Yingtian together and divide Zhu Yuanzhang's territory. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately responded, letting his subordinate Kang Maocai fraudulently surrender, claiming that he was internal and should cooperate with Chen Youyi, Kang Maocai and Chen Youyu were old friends, Chen Youyu thought that Kang Maocai had made the choice of good birds to choose trees and live under the pressure of him and Zhang Shicheng, where did he know that this was a strategy? With Chen Youyu's plan, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to use the ambush to defeat Chen Youyu and seize several of Chen Youyu's territories.
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youyu met again, it was already August 29, and this day began, and they began the final decisive battle, the Battle of Poyang Lake. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang used the flexibility of the small boat to burn Chen Youyi's army, and Chen Youyi was killed by random arrows after being defeated and withdrew from the stage of history.
Zhang Shicheng
When Zhu Yuanzhang first began to clean up Zhang Shicheng, Tan Wen just released it, and in the same year, Hangzhou and Huzhou surrendered successively. Zhang Shicheng stubbornly defended the Pingjiang River, and Zhu Yuanzhang surrounded the Pingjiang River, slowly hit, built walls, built high-rise buildings, harassed the city day and night, and shot arrows, making Zhang Shicheng's troops miserable. In this way, zhang Shicheng swore to die and stubbornly resisted, until the city was destroyed, and Zhang Shicheng still resisted in the form of street battles. However, Zhang Shicheng's struggle could not stop the trend of the times, and he was finally captured by Zhu Yuanzhang and beaten to death.
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated his main enemy and cleaned up other small forces to complete the unification of Jiangnan.
Establish Daming
After half a lifetime of fighting horses, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came to the front of Dayuan, he pointed his sword at Dayuan, swung his army to charge, with the program of "expelling Hu Yu, restoring China, establishing the program Chen Ji, and relieving the Si people".
Zhu Yuanzhang eventually established the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang declared himself emperor in Nanjing.
epilogue
In the absence of the support of everyone in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang, as a beggar, completed the counterattack in the chaotic world, from the bottom of the human food chain, experienced countless life and death crises, and finally became the Ninth Five-Year Dignity with his own efforts and the care of heaven! Among the founding emperors of previous dynasties, there is no founding emperor with such a low birth, which is a miracle!
