Zhu Yuanzhang is said to have a long appearance, but people are born with the appearance of emperors. Of course, he was able to create the Ming Dynasty, not because his ears were blessed, but because his personal ability was the most critical.
Then again, no matter how great the ability, the strength of one is also limited, and Zhu Yuanzhang understands this truth better than anyone. Therefore, in the process of planning the throne, the exploration of talents was placed in the first place. Wherever the sword blade went, except for the strategists on the turf, all of them were included in the account.
Once Lao Zhu led his troops to Wuyuan City, he could not attack for a long time, depressed to death, and shrugged his face all day. A general in front of the tent told him that there was a man named Zhu Sheng in this area, who was said to have an unusual strategy, and was called Zhuge Alive by the locals, so why not invite him to tell him about it. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately ordered someone to prepare horse gifts and personally visit them. Before leaving, Zhu Sheng shoved a note into Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said to open it again when he returned home. After Zhu Yuanzhang returned home, he opened the note and looked at it, and there were 9 words on it: "Build a wall high, accumulate grain, and slowly claim the king", he thought about it for a while, frequently nodding his head, thinking that this is called strategy.
Zhu Sheng was only one of the strategists beside Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to him, there were Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Zhang Zhong and others. Liu Bowen's fame is very large, in fact, Zhang Zhong is better than Liu Bowen, it is said that Liu Bowen's skills are taught by Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong once said to Zhu Yuanzhang, who had only one side of the relationship: "This person is not ordinary, and he will become a great unification in the future." Then, in the process of following Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the four sides, he designed to destroy Chen Youyu and remove Zhu Yuanzhang's major troubles. However, later, when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he suddenly disappeared.
Later, people speculated that he was originally a cloth cloth, accustomed to a pastoral life, not interested in the mixing of fish and dragons in the official field, and traveled in the clouds.
