If a common person wants to ascend to heaven and become an emperor in one step, this can be said to be an absolutely impossible thing to do. If, if a small baby herding sheep is paired with a childhood of begging and displacement everywhere, then this child says that I will become the emperor in the future, and you must think that he must be crazy. But one of our protagonists today, Zhu Yuanzhang, Comrade Lao Zhu, did it. After browsing the twenty-four histories, the only one who can go from ordinary people to the founding emperor is probably Comrade Zhu. What needs to be said to friends in particular is that someone may mention Liu Bang to me, you can go to the history textbook, before the old Liu uprising, the good villain was a "pavilion chief". Only our old Comrade Zhu was poor and white, and with his own wisdom and extraordinary courage, he worked hard step by step, and eventually became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, among them, Comrade Zhu also has many nobles. One of his nobles is our other protagonist today, Guo Zixing, who later became his father-in-law.
Guo Zixing's father, Guo Laopa, makes a living by counting for others, and he is different from the pits and deceptions of the city, and Guo Zixing's calculation is very accurate, and he is also quite famous in the local area. At this time when Guo Zixing was born, Guo Zixing's father calculated a gua for Guo Zixing, and the result showed that it was auspicious. Old Father Guo was very happy, which also indicated that the Guo Zixing family would become rich and famous with Guo Zixing. Father Guo is not only a person to hang up, but also very good at educating children. Guo Zixing was clever and clever since childhood, and he was also very moralistic, and he also made many and reliable friends in the jianghu, and these friends later became his very powerful assistants.
When Guo Zixing was young, it was the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were corrupt and faint, and there were constant uprisings in various places. In order for the people to have a stable life, Guo Zixing resolutely sold all the valuable belongings in the family in spite of the opposition of his family, and led his assistants into the rebel army. Their troops were very powerful, and the capture of Haozhou also made Guo Zixing famous. It is precisely because of this battle that our two protagonists today came together. Zhu Yuanzhang heard Guo Zixing's reputation and felt that Guo Zixing was a character who would definitely become a prince in the future, so Comrade Zhu also joined the Guo family army.
After Guo Zixing led an army to capture Haozhou, Guo Zixing and his other four generals did not adapt to the change of identity, gradually forgot the great ambition to overthrow the Yuan court, and began to fight for power and profit internally. In the process of power struggle, the four generals under Guo Zixing united to isolate Guo Zixing, making it difficult for Guo Zixing to control military affairs, and Guo Zixing simply stayed at home and no longer participated in military affairs. However, Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed out the smell of danger in time and reminded Guo Zixing to increase his participation in military affairs. However, Guo Zixing once again gave up his participation in military affairs after some unsuccessful efforts, and gradually was overpowered by his generals. Zhu Yuanzhang could do nothing about this, so he planted his own forces in the army, both for long-term planning and self-preservation.
After Xuzhou was breached by the Yuan army, Peng Da and Zhao both led the remnants to Haozhou and were accepted. However, guo Zixing treated Peng Da and Zhao Junyong with kindness and contempt for Zhao Junyong, causing Zhao Junyong's hatred. One day, Zhao Jun used to arrest Guo Zixing and imprison him. When Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this, he quickly went to the rescue and helped Guo Zixing home. However, since then, it is difficult for Guo Zixing to have the power of a commander-in-chief, and Zhao Junyong has gradually become anti-guest. Zhu Yuanzhang hindered his own weak power, and did not have any seizures about this, but accelerated the development of his own power.
After the siege crisis in Haozhou was resolved, Zhao Junyong once again wanted to harm Guo Zixing, but Zhu Yuanzhang came forward to persuade and repeatedly obstructEd Zhao Junyong, (at this time Zhu Yuanzhang already had 30,000 strong troops, and Zhao Junyong had some scruples about this), Guo Zixing escaped to death again, but he could not stay in Haozhou, so he went to Chuzhou to join Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also a good host.
After Guo Zixing entered Chuzhou, Guo Zixing, instead of reflecting on why he was squeezed to such a fate, instead moved his mind to the territory laid down by his son-in-law, trying to oppose the guests. Because Zhu Yuanzhang still took Guo Zixing as his commander, Guo Zixing used this name to begin to encroach on Zhu Yuanzhang's power.
Guo Zixing first made Zhu Yuanzhang the governor of Chuzhou, limiting Zhu Yuanzhang's authority with an unsympathetic title, and then sealing his own cronies to restrain Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very respectful to his father-in-law, and did not openly resist, but relied on his own strength to establish his prestige among the people of Chuzhou.
After that, Guo Zixing began to divide Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates, adopt them for his own use, and deprive Zhu Yuanzhang of his military power, and Zhu Yuanzhang obstructed the patriarchal etiquette and tried to restrain himself, not tearing his face with his father-in-law. However, Guo Zixing was not polite to Zhu Yuanzhang, and once Guo Zixing also imprisoned Zhu Yuanzhang on the pretext of an excuse, thanks to empress Ma's mediation, he rescued Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not die in Chuzhou and his father-in-law, but went to attack Hezhou again. When Zhu Yuanzhang was stationed in Hezhou, Guo Zixing's enemy Sun Deya requested to lead an army to eat Hezhou because of famine, and Zhu Yuanzhang accepted them. But this aroused Guo Zixing's suspicions, and Guo Zixing led his troops to come overnight to question Zhu Yuanzhang, who vigorously defended himself and was forgiven. Sun Deya saw that the situation was not good and wanted to lead his troops to withdraw, but Guo Zixing arrested Sun Deya, and Sun Deya's troops simply arrested Zhu Yuanzhang because the commander was arrested, and demanded that one person be replaced.
Zhu Yuanzhang's life gave him a platform for development. Zhu Yuanzhang saw this very clearly and was also grateful. Although Zhu Yuanzhang may have been dissatisfied with his father-in-law's extortion, he still posthumously honored Guo Zixing and gave him high praise in the altar text, saying that without his father-in-law, there would be no him today.
