During the Ming Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang went out on a tour and was stopped by a female beggar and scolded: Ungrateful guy! And the dog-like day with the face! When Zhu Yuanzhang learned of the maid's origin, he immediately knelt down and confessed his mistake and ordered someone to put her into the palace for good life.
As we all know, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was suspicious and irritable, and he did not kill people. What kind of person could actually scold Zhu Yuanzhang without any damage?
The female beggar told her son, named Han Cheng, who had been a subordinate of Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this name, he immediately blushed, and instead of blaming the female beggar for her unreasonableness, he knelt down and bowed his head to apologize sincerely to her, and also swore an oath: In the future, I will be your son
Saying that the old man would be brought into the palace and sent people to serve him well, he not only rewarded him with rich gifts, but also gave the old man's descendants the title of official.
How much did Zhu Yuanzhang owe Han Cheng's affection to compensate the Han family in this way?
Zhu Yuanzhang owed Han Cheng a life!
It turned out that when Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to fight Chen Youyu to the death at Poyang Lake, the warship he himself was riding on was beaten by Chen Youyu's fierce general Zhang Dingbian, with three warships.
In the panic, Zhu Yuanzhang's warships were surrounded by the opposing water corps and could not move on the shore, and Chen Youyifang demanded that Zhu Yuanzhang commit suicide, otherwise he would be exterminated.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the general trend had gone, and lamented: The lone ship is trapped and cannot move, even if the immortals have reached the point where I am, there is no way. After saying that, in order not to implicate the innocent, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake, and when he returned to the cabin to write a suicide note, the heavens gave Zhu Yuanzhang a chance to be reborn and sent a person like a "life-saving bodhisattva" to save him.
This person was Zhu Yuanzhang's fellow han cheng, who was Zhu Yuanzhang's bodyguard at that time, and he was a native of Xiaohanzhuang, Bengbu, Anhui. Han Cheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang when he was still a general under Guo Zixing, loyal and courageous, honest and straightforward.
At this moment of life and death, Han Cheng stepped forward and said: The subject is willing to die on behalf of the lord, and quickly take off your coat and jade belt to change with me. After I surrendered to the lake and retreated, the lord could take the opportunity to escape with the other brothers.
Zhu Yuanzhang said movingly: How can I bear to exchange your life for my secret life?
Han Cheng dayi said awefully: We have gone through all kinds of hardships and uprisings, and now we see that the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed, and the people will see the light of day again, at this time, if the lord dies and the dragons are leaderless, everything will be abandoned, and the people will suffer again.
The old saying is good, killing to become a benevolent, although I have no talent, but the figure is very similar to the lord, can save the life of the lord, although dead, but also worthy of the father and fellow countrymen.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Han Cheng with tears what happened. Han Cheng replied frankly: I am dedicated to the country and do not think about my own family.
After Han Cheng finished speaking, he began to take off Zhu Yuanzhang's robe and jade belt, and after putting them on, he walked out of the cabin and stood at the bow of the ship and shouted: If I can release my subordinates, I will throw myself into the water and die.
Before the words could be heard, Han Chengcheng jumped into the lake, and Chen Youyi immediately jumped into the water and turned around to kill "Zhu Yuanzhang" in order to go back to ask for credit.
In this way, Han Cheng used his life to give Zhu Yuanzhang precious breakthrough time.
After fleeing back to the camp, Zhu Yuanzhang reorganized his soldiers and horses to fight again, and took advantage of the bulky characteristics of Chen Youyu's ships to defeat Chen Youyu in one fell swoop with a fire attack, and won the victory in the Battle of Poyang Lake, laying a solid foundation for him to later ascend the throne and become emperor.
It can be said that if Han Cheng had not jumped into the lake for Zhu Yuanzhang, there would have been nothing that Zhu Yuanzhang had since.
Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to become emperor was entirely Han Cheng's sacrifice.
However, perhaps it was Rong Ma Andyo, or perhaps it was said that the empress dowager was busy with affairs, in short, Han Cheng's such a loyal sacrifice was finally exchanged for Zhu Yuanzhang's oblivion.
Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang forget, but even when his life was hanging by a thread, the group of brothers he saved, after developing, no one thought of Han Cheng.
Remembering Han Cheng's only relatives, he did not entrust his family to Zhu Yuanzhang before he left, in fact, he also had his underage son, a weak wife and an elderly mother.
After losing Han Cheng, the pillar of the family, the Han family was poor and even eating became a problem.
Han Cheng's mother, who was angry, went to Nanjing on foot, and waited for more than half a month before she met Zhu Yuanzhang luan driving out of the palace, and Han Cheng's mother, who was already ragged and disheveled, could not take much care of much, and hurriedly stopped Zhu Yuanzhang's magnificent Luan driving.
Remembering that his son's sacrifice had been exchanged for such a fate, the old man could not help but scold Zhu Yuanzhang in public for being ungrateful like the opening chapter.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the scolding, he was furious and asked the guards to arrest the old woman who was cursing, and the old woman in ragged clothes only said one sentence: Do you remember Han Cheng? I am Han Cheng's mother.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was wrong, remembered Han Cheng's great kindness to himself, and remembered the years when the war was raging and the world was raging, he wept and wept, and quickly knelt down to apologize to Han Cheng's mother.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered han cheng's mother to be brought into the palace and treated her as a mother.
After returning home, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Han to be posthumously made the Marquis of Gaoyang, and made Han's wife the Lady of the Commandments. He also ordered people to repair the Marquis of Gaoyang, and always repaired the house to be luxurious, and equipped the servants and servants with all the equipment before sending Han Mu back from the palace.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he had done too much, so he recruited Han Cheng's son as a donkey.
The end of this matter is satisfactory, history has a temperature, after reading this story, people can't help but admire Han Cheng's loyalty and courage, and the fearless spirit of serving the country and the people.
Chinese since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people like Han Cheng, who are fearless in the face of great righteousness and sacrifice their lives for the country and the people.
If it were not for Han Cheng's old mother, a stubborn old man, who insisted on seeking an explanation for his son, Han Cheng, a loyal and heroic person, would be buried in the dust of history forever.
But at the moment when he chose to sacrifice for others, he did not think about what kind of reward he wanted, how much fame and fortune he wanted for his family, and it was this selfless spirit that made people more moved.
Life is very fragile, but also very strong, Han Cheng used his fragile life, left a story that people admire to this day, and it is still full of anger and admiration when read to this day...
