Wars are both cruel and cruel, especially in ancient times, and battlefields full of blood are simply common. And the most innocent in war are undoubtedly the prisoners of war and the people, who only want to live in the chaotic world.
However, many generals and emperors did not want them to live, and the more brilliant the generals, the more like a killer in their youth. Their hands were stained not only with the blood of the enemy, but also with the blood of the people.
Chang Yuchun, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, was such a general, he had extremely high military talent and combat ability, but his murderous personality also made people feel frightened. Chang Yuchun was even known as the first person in Daming Slaughter City.
From the fields
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and many rebel armies rose up. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor was incompetent and brutal, and he was flattered by the invasion of foreign tribes. But he was cruel to the people at home, and he slaughtered them many times.
In fact, the people don't want much, they just want to eat and wear and warm, and then live in peace and stability. But in the midst of the chaos, human life is like grass, trampled and insulted by brutal rulers.
Chang Yuchun started out as a farmer, he farmed in the field and was self-sufficient. But who can save themselves in the chaotic world, Chang Yuchun thought of finding a patron, at least to find a patron who could keep him alive.
However, Chang Yuchun still had some means, and in his youth, Chang Yuchun followed a military attaché who had retired from the Yuan Dynasty court. Because his family was poor, he helped the military attaché to cultivate the land and do miscellaneous work in exchange for the opportunity to study.
Chang Yuchun grew up strong and strong, is indeed a good material for martial arts training, in the process of learning from this person, his martial arts talent was slowly discovered. Therefore, it is indeed easy to stand firm in the chaotic world.
However, at the beginning, Chang Yuchun found the wrong person, and he first defected to Liu Ju, a bandit in the green forest. Liu Ju said that the good point is a good man in the green forest, and the ugly point is a robber who takes advantage of the chaotic world to rob the house.
It is reasonable to say that it is normal for a poor people to become robbers because they cannot survive, because it is a chaotic time, and there are countless bandits and robbers. However, Liu Ju was a different kind of person, he did not dare to oppose the officers and soldiers, did not dare to rob the rich and help the poor, but went to the job of robbing the people.
Chang Yuchun couldn't look at it, originally he was because he was poor, he fell into the grass, found a big brother, and he also robbed the poor. Chang Yuchun believes that his ambition in this life is not here, so he stays away from Liu Ju and plans to find another way out.
Chance encounter with Ming Jun
After leaving, Chang Yuchun encountered Zhu Yuanzhang, who attacked Hezhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang had become the leader of the Red Turban Army. Chang Yuchun therefore wanted to fight under Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, but Chang Yuchun had already met someone unladylike once, so this time he learned to be smart.
Chang Yuchun dressed as a commoner observing Zhu Yuanzhang's words and deeds in Hezhou, and he found that Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed the same as the people around him, not only approachable, but also very loving and protective of the people. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang only has one word for treating the people, that is, good.
Chang Yuchun also agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang, and he wanted to serve Zhu Yuanzhang in order to make a contribution. Therefore, Chang Yuchun hurriedly went to visit Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not a fledgling hairy boy at this time, and he had experienced many major wars and encountered too many incompetent people.
Therefore, Chang Yuchun wanted to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no interest in this. Chang Yuchun's next words made Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind. Chang Yuchun told Zhu Yuanzhang that if he wanted to cross the river to fight, he was willing to be a pioneer.
This vanguard position is not easy to do, and those who say it is good to hear are called pioneers, and those who say it are ugly are the captains of the death squad. And Zhu Yuanzhang was also impressed by it, after all, the most feared thing on the battlefield was not to die. Chang Yuchun also had the opportunity to follow Zhu Yuanzhang.
Chang Yuchun, who has made great achievements in battle
He was born in the spring and had a momentum, and he always took the lead in facing the enemy, and he would take the lead in charge no matter what the war. There was such a pioneer official, but Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and Zhu Yuanzhang directly called out to find the treasure.
Chang Yuchun turned to fight for 30,000 miles in his lifetime, from Quzhou to Jiuhua Mountain, where Chang Yuchun was present, he never lost a battle. Every time Chang Yuchun sent troops, he beat the Yuan army bitterly, and when he saw Chang Yuchun's troops, they were terrified.
The war at Jiuhua Mountain made Chang Yuchun famous. At that time, chang yuchun's troops were stationed in Jiuhua Mountain, but they encountered drought, and the huge sun actually dried up the entire river of Jiuhua Mountain.
Without water resources, it is not only impossible to cook, but also makes the soldiers seriously short of water, and seeing that the local troops are coming, Chang Yuchun fell into death. However, it can be said that there is no invincible road in heaven, and Chang Yuchun actually dug out six sweet springs in the Jiuhua Mountain.
These six springs could solve Chang Yuchun's urgent need, and he asked the soldiers to urgently replenish the water source, and with these water resources, Chang Yuchun led his troops to lie in ambush at Jiuhua Mountain. In the end, Chang Yuchun's troops defeated the Yuan army, and this battle also laid the foundation for the defeat of the Yuan army.
Brutal slaughter of the city
Although Chang Yuchun was said to be a tiger general, with the accumulation of military achievements and the improvement of his status, he gradually lost himself in power. Having lost his heart, he became cruel and unkind, and the slaughtering people were unwilling to blink their eyes.
Once Chang Yuchun attacked Huaiqing City in Jiaozuo, Henan, chang yuchun defeated the enemy and defeated the Yuan army. This was too good for the entire people of Huaiqing City, because the rule of the Yuan Army was too brutal.
But at that time, the people did not expect that they had just driven away the jackal, but turned around and met the man-eating tiger. After Chang Yuchun entered Huaiqing City, the people welcomed him. Welcome the arrival of the victors, but also welcome the arrival of a new era.
But Chang Yuchun looked at the people around him, but he sneered and ordered the soldiers to slaughter the city. In the end, tens of thousands of people in the city did not leave a single living person, and Chang Yuchun did not have any shame about this, but felt that he had done the right thing.
Because the people at that time were holding signs congratulating the Yuan army, he believed that these people were all the people of the Yuan Dynasty, so they went on a killing spree. But in reality, the people are just holding up the wrong sign, they just want to live.
The names of tens of thousands of people were slaughtered in the blink of an eye, and such a brutal crime could not be seen by even casual soldiers. But the military orders are like mountains, they can only do this, and it is these innocent people who are poor.
epilogue
Chang Yuchun's lifelong merits were all, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang attack the world, and his feats were only comparable to those of the founding generals. He himself is cruel and violent, and his murderous methods are infuriating.
In the end, Chang Yuchun may have killed too many people and died violently at the age of 40. The story of Chang Yuchun tells us that no matter what, we must give people a way out, completely put people to death, and eventually we will be punished ourselves.
