The Ming Dynasty was a legendary dynasty. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, peasants revolted everywhere, and among them, the three most powerful forces, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youyu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youyu fought in the water battle at Poyang Lake, and finally defeated Chen Youyu, and then destroyed Zhang Shicheng, and then Xu Da as the main general and then marched north to regain Beijing, and at the same time he proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing to establish the Ming Empire; in the following years, the Ming army went out several times to drive the Northern Yuan back to mobei; the Ming Empire was stable from then on.
In the process of establishing the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to defeat many enemies and successfully establish the Ming Empire because of the help of many fierce generals. Among the many founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that everyone has heard of Chang Yuchun, and today we will talk about the story of this famous Ming Dynasty general.
Spring is often encountered
Chang Yuchun followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer several sides, and it is not too much to describe him as a general with unparalleled talent, he is a figure who laid the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang, made great meritorious contributions, and indeed deserves to be a founding hero. Leaving aside his great achievements, he was also a general under Zhu Yuanzhang who had never lost a battle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as an undefeated general. It is precisely because of his bravery that he has a nickname called "Chang 100,000", which is also because he himself said that as long as he is given 100,000 soldiers and horses, he can run amok in the world, which is enough to show his confidence in himself.
This sentence can be said to be very domineering, maybe you can seal the title of a tyrant, whether he can lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to run amok in the world, I really don't know, but he fought bravely and made great achievements. Looking back at the history of Zhu Yuanzhang's domination of the world, in many important battles and nodes, it is true that there is a constant spring.
Chang Yu Chunben came from a poor peasant family, and his poor family was no longer enough to support his tuition. So from a very young age, he looked for handymen in exchange for the opportunity to study. When he grew up, he was born again and ran to learn martial arts. He himself is quite talented in this area, riding and shooting, mastering martial arts, and proficient in various weapons.
Often encounter spring battles
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, bandits and rebels began to run rampant, and at that time, Chang Yuchun actually ran to become a bandit. He turned to a green forest thief named Liu Ju, because his martial arts were more outstanding among the people and was appreciated by Liu Ju, so he naturally became a small leader.
At the beginning, the life of a bandit also made Chang Yuchun feel very satisfied, drinking wine and eating meat, robbing the house, and getting a lot of silver, which not only enriched his life, but also made him feel satisfied. But day after day, after this freshness has passed, Chang Yu Chun is somewhat dissatisfied with the status quo. What does it mean to be a robber except to rob or rob all day? Chang Yuchun felt that there was no future in being a bandit, so he also began to seek a new way out.
In the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, when he was following Liu Ju to plunder, he happened to encounter Zhu Yuanzhang's team. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang already had a lot of fame, and Chang Yuchun had already heard of Zhu Yuanzhang's heroic name. So he resolutely gave up the life of a bandit and went to zhu Yuanzhang. And Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Chang Yuchun was tall and strong in martial arts, so he had the heart of love and took Chang Yuchun into his pocket, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang at that time did not expect that Chang Yuchun would help him so much.
Chang Yuchun fought all his life and was known for his bravery. After following Zhu Yuanzhang, every time there is a battle, please be the vanguard. It is by relying on this brute force that he has made great achievements many times.
Zhu Yuanzhang
It was also in the fifteenth year of Zhizheng that Chang Yuchun surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, and he made a miraculous contribution in the Battle of Quarry Rock. In the face of the iron-like defense of the iron wall of the barbarian Hague, the marshal of the Yuan Dynasty water army at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless against this and did not know how to start. Later, it was precisely by virtue of the bravery of Chang Yuchun that Chang Yuchun took a small boat, was not afraid of strong enemies, and bravely advanced in the rapids, taking the lead in rushing into the enemy army and began to kill all sides.
It was precisely because Chang Yuchun opened a breakthrough that Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to drive straight into the landing to attack. The Yuan army was defeated and retreated, allowing the Ming army to successfully take Taiping and Jiqing and other places.
In the nineteenth year of Zhizheng, Chang Yuchun was ordered to attack Quzhou. He was murderous all the way, and his momentum was matchless, when he first defeated the Dragon Tour City, leaving the Dragon Tour Road. "Stray Dragon Travels, West Wind Jealous Brigade Robe." Red with autumn tree blood, green with long dry pond hair. More luxurious than the house, the plain is highly murderous. Yue Shan Qing into the eyes, looking back at the sideburns scratching", full of domineering.
Later, he attacked quzhou city, due to the stubborn resistance of Boyan Buhua. Coupled with the fortification of the city, it is often impossible to attack in the spring. In the end, he boldly led a team of elite troops to make a surprise attack, and finally broke the morale of the Yuan army and took Quzhou City, which he could be said to have made great contributions in this battle.
In Chang Yuchun's lifelong conquest, several battles with Chen Youyu were typical. In the twentieth year, Chen Youyu led two large armies to menacingly. Chang Yuchun saw the move and twice led the ambush troops to attack, so that Chen Youyu was forced to retreat. Zhu Yuanzhang also took this opportunity to further expand his power.
Three years later, Chen Youyi led the so-called 600,000-strong army out of the nest. Chen Youyu was not only menacing, but also had a majestic warship and occupied the upper hand. Zhu Yuanzhang's side was temporarily weak, and during the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang's warship was once fiercely attacked by the enemy.
Chang Yuchun did not panic in the face of such a crisis, and first used his own ship to crash into Zhu Yuanzhang's warship, so that Zhu Yuanzhang successfully escaped from the melee. Immediately, he actively organized a fire attack and set a fire to burn Chen Youyi's fleet into flames. When Chen Youyu retreated, Chang Yuchun led his army in pursuit. In the end, Chen Youyu was shot and killed in the melee, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
It can be said that following Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to the founding of the country, Chang Yuchun can be described as indispensable. At that time, the name of Chang Yuchun was well known, but it was a pity that he died violently in the army at the age of forty and died young, and the world was sorry for him.
After Chang Yuchun's death, Zhu Yuanzhang even used "There are thousands of lines of pig iron juice, and I don't cry for my children in my life." I overheard yesterday's often public grass, tears sprinkled on the grass and trees wet. A poem came to mourn him. He also ordered people to make a portrait of Chang Yuchun wearing a dragon robe, which shows his mourning. In any case, Chang Yuchun's bravery deserves our admiration, if there is no him, I believe that the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan will not be so easy to fight down!
