In history, most of the people who are good at war have short lives, and the ancients believed that after killing people, there will be resentment on the body of the people who are killed, and the more people kill, the more resentment there will be. Bai Qi, who killed 300,000 Zhao troops, Nian Qianyao, a famous general of the Qing Dynasty, and Chang Yuchun, the ming dynasty general we want to talk about today, these generals who make people feel frightened on the battlefield are all people who kill, but they do not live long.
There are only a few peasant emperors in history, Zhu Yuanzhang can become an emperor from a peasant, there must be something superior in him, Zhu Yuanzhang's superiority lies in his skill of taming people, Zhu Yuanzhang can make his military generals loyally follow him to fight the world. And Chang Yuchun is one of the most capable warriors under Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun is known as "Chang Hundred Thousand", he claims that he can lead 100,000 troops to sweep the world, Chang Yuchun is a victorious general on the battlefield, more victories and fewer defeats on the battlefield, he began to fight from the age of 25, fought back and forth for more than ten years, but died violently at the age of only 39.
In the middle of 1369, the Yuan army attacked Tongzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chang Yuchun to meet the Yuan army, Chang Yuchun won a great victory, and when the Banshi returned to the dynasty, Chang Yuchun suddenly died on the road, only 39 years old. There are many theories about the cause of Chang Yuchun's death, but most people agree that there is only one reason, that is, Chang Yuchun is eager to "lower the fire" after every battle.
Chang Yuchun has been fighting outside all year round, and in the 39 years of his life, more than ten years have been spent on war horses, and the quality of sleep cannot be guaranteed, which makes his body in a sub-healthy state for a long time. And Chang Yuchun has a very bad habit, that is, after the battle, he will rush to take off the armor and immediately cool his body. Ancient armor is very thick, when fighting a war, the warriors will sweat, in the front of the killing of chang yu chun will sweat more than other warriors, after the battle often meet the spring armor are soaked with sweat, in order to make themselves quickly cool, just after the battle often meet the spring will take off the armor, blow the wind.
If in the south, often after spring sweating, take off the clothes to wash will not have any problems, but Hebei is the climate of the north, it was still spring, in the sweat did not go down to take off the clothes, but also washed with cold water, friends who understand medicine must know that sweat contains a lot of salt, a short time temperature plummet, will form crystals in the body, so it will get sick, it is not easy to get good. At that time, the northern weather was no longer warm, the strength of the cold wind was also particularly large, in order to pursue a temporary coolness led to frequent spring with a heavy cold, this disease is not a big problem now, take some medicine to sleep and sweat. However, in the harsh conditions of the battlefield at that time, it was fatal, not only did there was no effective medicine to eat, but also could not get a good rest, chang Yuchun died and whimpered.
After Zhu Yuanzhang learned of Chang Yuchun's death, he could not suppress the pain in his heart, and did not hesitate to go far away to welcome back Chang Yuchun's coffin, and posthumously sealed him, the coffin was placed in the Taimiao Temple, and let his crown prince marry Chang Yuchun's daughter as his wife. Many people regret the cause of death of Chang Yuchun, it seems that no matter how good the physical condition is, we must pay attention to maintenance, especially when changing seasons, do not think that carelessness will cause irreparable consequences.
