What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Since the founding emperors of ancient times, they have gathered a group of wizards from all over the world. There are both strategists and tiger generals who charge into battle, all of which are indispensable. Zhu Yuanzhang created Daming, and he also relied on this group of good ministers and brave generals who could fight in battle. During the Hongwu period, he was a great meritorious warrior, with a total of six dukes and twenty-eight marquises, who were outstanding representatives of this group of people. But they are all lucky, surviving in the fierce battlefield fighting, and many excellent generals have died on the battlefield in the conquest, and they have not survived to the day of victory.
Of these generals killed in battle, one is the most remarkable. He is Hua Yun, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. The "History of Ming" records that Hua Yun was tall and powerful, his face was dark, and he was brave and good at war. Among the many brave generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, Hua Yun flourished. He was 39 years old for a short lifetime, but he repeatedly set a legendary record. The first record was one man against a thousand people, the second was to save Zhu Yuanzhang's life, and the third was to grab the knife and slash the knife and axe hand with the backhand before being killed.
Before the Battle of Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang led several retinues to reconnoiter the terrain, and Hua Yun was also among them. As a result, he had bad luck and bumped into thousands of Yuan troops. Everyone was afraid, they couldn't fight and fight, they couldn't run and they couldn't run. Hua Yun was not in danger, "drawing his sword and leaping horses to rush forward", extraordinary courage and martial arts shocked the enemy army, and the enemy troops shouted: "This black general is so brave that he must not be his front!" As a result, they scattered and fled, and Zhu Yuanzhang was able to escape the disaster.
Zhu Yuanzhang led his army across the river, and Hua Yun took the lead in landing on the shore against the rain of arrows on the sword mountain. When attacking Ningguo, Hua Yun's lone army went deep, and as a result, he lost his way in the mountains and lost contact with the rear for eight days. A large number of enemy troops swarmed to destroy his lone army. Hua Yun rose up again, holding a spear and shouting at the front, his subordinates saw him so heroic, they all won the first rank of the enemy army with a hundred, and finally broke through the siege and returned safely.
During Hua Yun's garrison at Taiping, Chen Youyi led the warships of the Marine Division to attack. Hua Yun and Marshal Zhu Wenxun led their troops to meet the battle, and Chen Youyu attacked for three consecutive days, losing his troops and unable to capture Taiping. Who knew that Chen Youyu was cunning and cunning, taking advantage of the high tide, manipulating large warships to approach the city walls, and the soldiers climbed directly from the ships to the head of the city, Chen Youyu's army was able to break through the city defenses and capture Taiping. Hua Yun did not retreat from the battle, and he was finally wounded and captured.
Chen Youyi's soldiers tied up Hua Yun wuhua and escorted them to the court to be beheaded. The "History of Ming" records that before Hua Yun was dying, he suddenly "shouted and cried out, tied up and cracked", shouted loudly and actually broke the rope, the executioners and knife axe hands were stunned, Hua Yun grabbed the big knife, raised the knife in his hand, and cut down five or six people in succession, scolding angrily: "You are not my lord's opponent at all, don't surrender quickly!" Chen Youyi's soldiers returned to their senses, relied on the crowd of people to rush up, and tied up the flower cloud again.
They hated Hua Yun Xiao Yong, hung him on the mast of the big ship, and shot him to death with random arrows, and Hua Yun cursed him to death. Hua Yun had a three-year-old boy who was taken in by a servant surnamed Sun and defected to Zhu Yuanzhang several times. Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Hua Yun's child to his knee, tears flowing, and said, "This child is a seed." He personally named the child Hua Wei, and later became a Ming Dynasty warrior.
