We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang was the kind of founding emperor who liked to kill heroes indiscriminately, a Hu Weiyong case, a blue jade case, so that a large number of meritorious people were slaughtered, such as Li Shanchang, Blue Jade, Fu Youde, Hu Weiyong, and so on were all given knives by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Therefore, there is a saying in later generations that being a founding hero in the Ming Dynasty was a high-risk profession. But there are still some heroes who have been spared, such as Tang He, Mu Ying and so on. Why tang he was able to survive and die well in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's great purge.
Tang He grew up with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the two lived on the same street, and their feelings could not be described as deep. In terms of boldness, Tang He was even older than Zhu Yuanzhang, he joined the rebel army early, and after achieving certain achievements, he wrote a letter to ask him to join the rebel army.
After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, he quickly showed his protagonist aura, showed his leadership talent to the fullest, and soon achieved a position higher than Tang He, who had become Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate at this time.
According to the psychology of normal people, Tang He will inevitably feel unhappy, and the two may not be able to avoid making trouble. But in fact, there was none, mainly due to The fact that Tang He's heart was very open-minded, and he willingly followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the north and saddle his horse.
Tang He was undoubtedly a fierce general, he served as a forward for Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he was physically injured and bleeding badly, he still threw himself into the battle without hesitation.
When Tang He led the army alone, he ordered the ban and attacked and defended properly, and once when he was stationed in a strategic place in Changzhou, he easily repelled the attack of Zhang Shicheng's army many times.
Although Tang He's merits were not as good as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun' first-class famous generals, they were not small, and he could be seen in the pacification of Zhang Shicheng, the crusade against Fang Guozhen, the Dingshan Pingshu, and the Northern Yuan Army.
But even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was very harsh on this former friend, often because of some small mistakes, and went to beat him and cancel his reward, which seemed a little unkind.
In fact, the heroes who were beaten could not only be Tang and one, but some of the heroes who were beaten were still unconscious, proud of their merits, blind to the king' law, and began to die continuously.
But Tang is different from the same, he is deeply familiar with the rabbit dead dog cooking, the bird bow hidden the truth, know the advance and retreat, know the current affairs, honestly do what he should do.
When discussing major military and state affairs with Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He often looked cautious and cautious, which was to put forward his own opinions, but he did not dare to make good claims for Zhu Yuanzhang.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, Tang He realized that he was jealous of these meritorious ministers, so he took the initiative to propose to Zhu Yuanzhang to resign his official position and go home, hand over the army in his hands, and become a rich man.
From then on, Tang He only needed to run to Zhu Yuanzhang once a year to meet him. Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang decided that he Tang He was no longer a threat to the world of his old Zhu family, so he did not give it a knife. Tang He was able to die!
