Hua Yunlong, a native of Dingyuan, Anhui Province, when he was a child, he grew strong, tall and tall, and he was very strong, and in order to be able to live better in the chaotic world, he immediately took a group of brothers, entrenched on the Leek Mountain, gathered the crowds as thieves, and started a bandit business.
The Yuan Dynasty sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but they were all repelled, but being a bandit was not a long-term solution after all, when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang next door pull up the anti-flag and raise troops, he immediately pulled the brothers together to surrender, becoming one of the twenty-four generals in Huaixi.
Hua Yunlong showed great bravery on the battlefield, and in the battles of attacking Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Crossing the River, he performed well and fought bravely, and soon made great achievements and was promoted to the position of right deputy marshal.
Chang Yuchun was recognized as the first fierce general under Zhu Yuanzhang, but he himself once said that on the basis of bravery, Hua Yunlong and so on should be above himself.
Later, in the Battle of Longwan, which was related to Zhu Yuanzhang's fate, Hua Yunlong showed this bravery to the fullest.
At that time, the situation was roughly like this, after Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Nanjing, he gradually became a prince of one side, and there was a lot of friction with the forces of the neighboring Chen Youyi, and the two sides gradually and inevitably moved towards a decisive battle.
Before the decisive battle, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to adopt Liu Bowen's strategy, so that Kang Maocai wrote a letter to deceive Chen Youyu, lured him to Longwan Town, set up an ambush here, and defeated Chen Youyu. During this period, the two generals in charge of the first wave of ambush were Chang Yuchun and Hua Yunlong.
According to the original plan, the success of the first wave of ambush is crucial, and only if the first wave of ambush successfully defeated Chen Youyu in chaos, the second and third waves of ambushes can greatly expand the results of the battle.
At that time, as soon as the drum sounded, Chang Yuchun and Hua Yunlong led people to raise a flag and rushed to kill them, although Chen Youyu was confused, but there were still Zhang Dingbian, Zou Pusheng and other fierce generals around him, and their strength could not be underestimated.
According to historical records, at first, Chang Yuchun and Chen Youyu killed and wounded equally, until Hua Yunlong prancing horses shouted and smashed the backbone, and finally was able to reverse the war situation and win the Battle of Longwan.
This battle made Zhu Yuanzhang very impressed, and in the subsequent battles against Chen Youyu, Zhang Shicheng and many other battles, he accumulated a lot of battle achievements, and after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he was named the Marquis of Huai'an, eating 1,500 stones.
It is worth mentioning that when Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da and Chang Yuchun on the Northern Expedition in the second year of Hongwu, Xu Da asked Zhu Yuanzhang by name for a person, that is, Hua Yunlong, who was assisting Fu Youde in cutting down Shu, zhu Yuanzhang agreed, and then asked Hua Yunlong to help Xu Da.
During the Northern Expedition, Hua Yunlong really showed xiao courage and helped Xu Da a lot, and after the victory of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang also left him in Yanjing.
In the seventh year of Hongwu, someone impeached Hua Yunlong for privately occupying the mansion of Yuan Chengxiang, and Zhu Yuanzhang quickly ordered him to be recalled to Nanjing, and as a result, in the middle of the way, Hua Yunlong died of a violent illness, the cause of death is unknown, and it has become a major historical mystery.
At that time, Hua Yunlong was only forty-two years old, and he didn't have any signs of illness before, so how could he suddenly disappear? It may not be related to politics. Some people even directly speculated that Hua Yunlong was assassinated by Zhu Yuanzhang on the halfway halfway.
Some ye shi said it more freely, they thought that Hua Yunlong was a fraudulent death, he hid his identity and came to a Quanzhen Taoist temple near Zhoukoudian in Beijing, became a Guiyin Daoist, lived for nearly two hundred years, concentrated on practicing kendo, and left a precious sword book, "Hun Yuan Sword Spectrum", and successfully entered the immortal with a sword!
