Facing the fierce general who sacrificed his life and forgot to pull himself back from the brink of death, Zhu Yuanzhang said to him: "He will live up to his glory one day!"
Seeing this sentence, many people must think of the "death-free iron ticket", but in fact, it is useless, it is still necessary to die.
Take this fierce general who saved Zhu Yuanzhang as an example, although he was not killed, but his descendants suffered, what is going on? Who saved Zhu Yuanzhang in the first place? Why were his children and grandchildren killed?
Qi Guogong
"Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin......" Zhu Yuanzhang's experience can be said to be worthy of this sentence.
From a poor child who couldn't even afford to eat at the beginning, to finally become the king of a country, it is rare in the world.
Haozhou can be said to be the place where Zhu Yuanzhang's dream began, where not only his nobles, but also his future queen Ma.
At that time, there were many rebel generals in Haozhou City, but many of them had no great ambitions. Some of them just want to guard their own one-third of an acre.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, his ambitions were much greater than those of the rebel generals. Just such a small place can be satisfied, then such a person is too unambitious.
Living with such a group of people all day long, Zhu Yuanzhang's lofty ideals will be wiped out by them sooner or later, so Zhu Yuanzhang went back to his hometown to recruit soldiers.
These rebel generals in Haozhou City, they didn't have any idea of sending troops to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, and they were engaged in civil strife all day long. Today I don't like you, tomorrow I don't like him.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this group of people just has nothing to do when they are full every day, and they are all broken.
It would not be good to continue to stay with such a person, so Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely chose to leave this group that affected his future.
Zhu Yuanzhang recruited about a few hundred people in his hometown, and then they went south to attack Dingyuan City.
Along the way, they recruited troops and horses, and finally the force grew to more than 5,000 people.
With the joint efforts of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others, the Yuan army in the city was quickly defeated and fled, and their first base came like this.
After the victory of this battle, many people came to Zhu Yuanzhang. Among them, there is a very strong young man named Chen De, who is a fellow villager with Zhu Yuanzhang.
This person is the fierce general mentioned at the beginning, as for why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sign up when he went home to recruit soldiers, many people speculated that he shouldn't have caught up, or he hadn't heard of it at all.
Chen De's family has been farming for generations, and although their lives are not very rich, at least they can fill their stomachs at every meal, which was already a very good family at that time.
Perhaps because he was able to eat enough, Chen De grew very tall and strong, similar to Chang Yuchun, who later enlisted in the army.
With such capable people joining, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very welcome, and their uprising troops gradually grew stronger.
Since following Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen De has participated in many battles, large and small, and has also served as the former generalissimo.
It is precisely because of his growing strength that Zhu Yuanzhang has become a hegemon in the south.
Although it is said that it has developed, Zhu Yuanzhang's situation is becoming more and more dangerous. There is Zhang Shicheng in the north and Chen Youliang in the south, all of them are stronger than him, and in addition to these two people, there are other overlords.
Lay down His life as a Savior
The only way to survive in such an environment is to try to become stronger and then destroy your opponents.
However, no matter which side of the war with Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng starts, Zhu Yuanzhang is easy to suffer from the enemy, but the battle will be fought after all, and some generals may have to be sacrificed.
For example, if you beat Zhang Shicheng, then the other side must withstand Chen Youliang's pressure and hold on until the other side finishes fighting.
When Zhu Yuanzhang first started to fight against Chen Youliang, he pretended to surrender, wanted to bow down, and then asked Chen Youliang to come and surrender in person.
It was Chen Youliang's former good friend who sent the surrender letter, so he came over without too much suspicion. After arriving at the destination, Chen Youliang found that it was empty and terrifyingly quiet.
Just when Chen Youliang was puzzled, Zhu Yuanzhang had arranged all the ambush troops in advance. Because they did not take precautions in advance, most of the soldiers brought by Chen Youliang died here.
After this battle, Chen Youliang suffered a little heavy damage and needed time to recover.
After almost recovering, Chen Youliang took revenge with a large army.
If you want to say that Chen Youliang came at the right time, Zhang Shicheng sent troops to attack King Xiao Ming. Zhu Yuanzhang received their call for help, so naturally he couldn't die without help, so Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng were fighting hotly.
At this time, troops must not be transferred, otherwise there is a risk of fall on both sides, so what should I do?
Zhu Yuanzhang said to one of his nephews: "Now you take some men and horses to guard Hongdu, stop as long as you can, and try to buy more time for the army on the other side to defeat Zhang Shicheng." ”
This battle will be very difficult and dangerous, but Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew did not hesitate, he got on the horse and set off directly.
Under their difficult defense, Chen Youliang fought fiercely in Hongdu for nearly three months, and finally had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
At that time, Chen Youliang was in a hurry, and he angrily reprimanded his subordinate generals: "You said that you could take it in less than a week, but you have been fighting for almost three months, this is your invincibility?"
Although Chen Youliang also has fierce generals, they are far less than Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
If you want to say the most exciting battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, it must be the Battle of Poyang Lake.
For this battle on the lake, Chen Youliang is still full of confidence. Because their naval combat effectiveness is indeed strong, the warship alone is much larger than Zhu Yuanzhang and them.
This battle can be described as very fierce, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally took a boat to the front line to command.
Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang had come in person, Chen Youliang ordered that Zhu Yuanzhang must be caught or killed on the spot at all costs, and he must not be allowed to escape from Poyang Lake alive.
So many large warships began to move closer to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Lao Zhu was very panicked when he saw this.
One of them was led by the fierce general Zhang Dingbian, it is said that this person was very strong in martial arts, and he broke into the enemy army alone as if he were in a no-man's land, and soon he came to Zhu Yuanzhang's warship.
Just when Zhang Dingbian was chasing Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen De suddenly killed with a spear in his hand, and he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to go first, and he was behind.
At that time, there were not only Zhang Dingbian blocking, but also enemy arrows. Chen De had no time to care about Zhang Dingbian when he blocked him, which led to several arrows in his body in the end.
Later, it was the fierce general Chang Yuchun who came to his aid, and only then did he successfully save Chen De.
When they returned, everyone found that Chen De had about nine arrow wounds on his body.
After seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very moved, and he immediately said to Chen De: "He will live up to his reputation one day!"
With Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chen De was also moved to a mess, so he worked even harder in the war later, and finally Chen De died of illness. In order to commemorate this fierce general, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered the suspension of the previous dynasty for three days, and at the same time posthumously crowned Chen De as the Duke of Qiguo.
In fact, in this war, not only Chang Yuchun and Chen De saved Zhu Yuanzhang, but a good man even sacrificed his life to save him.
At that time, the clothes Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing were so dazzling that even if he hadn't seen this person, he could tell at a glance who was coming, so if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to escape, he had to throw away this clothes.
In the process of breaking through, a person named Han Cheng said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Let's change clothes." ”
After changing into Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes, Han Cheng jumped directly into the lake in front of the enemy. Many people mistakenly thought that Zhu Yuanzhang committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, and chose to stop the pursuit, and Zhu Yuanzhang successfully escaped.
Decisively cut the former grace
People like Han Cheng and Chen De who sacrificed their lives to protect their lords have walked too wide. Chen Tak was so loyal and brave, and his family benefited from him after his death.
thought that Chen De's descendants would pass on the title all the time, but there was an accident halfway.
There was a very famous prime minister in the Ming Dynasty named Hu Weiyong, who was still very famous.
Hu Weiyong was relatively honest at the beginning, and he did a good job in all aspects, but after all, this prime minister is "one person under ten thousand people", and when he has great power, his ambition will naturally be greater.
At that time, someone said to Hu Weiyong: "I have seen your family's ancestral tomb, and there is actually a yellow light shrouded in it, it should be the emperor's dragon qi." ”
The meaning is very obvious, this person said that Hu Weiyong has the destiny to be the emperor. According to normal thinking, when he heard this kind of rebellious words, Hu Weiyong should have scolded him, but not only did they not scold, but they gave him a reward.
Since he felt that he could become the emperor, Hu Weiyong began to secretly develop his own power, thinking that one day he could kick Zhu Yuanzhang off the throne.
This idea is really ridiculous, judging by the nonsense he believes in other people's babble, this man's IQ is really a little worrying. Even if he finally rebelled, it was doomed to failure.
If it was a very decaying dynasty with an incompetent emperor, then he still had some hope.
Soon this matter was revealed, and when he heard that someone dared to fight for his own throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and finally Hu Weiyong was executed.
Although Hu Weiyong is dead, this matter is far from over. Like Hu Weiyong's henchmen, almost all of them went to heaven and earth together.
Chen De's descendants died and were injured because they were implicated in Hu Weiyong's case.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be angry, and after he heard that Chen De's descendants were related to this matter, he decisively withdrew the title given to Chen De at the beginning.
In addition, even Chen De's spiritual position was destroyed.
"He will live up to his promise" back then is really tearful! However, more than 10 years later, Zhu Yuanzhang's methods are also very decisive! Perhaps after so many years, it is no longer important to save the group of people who saved him at the beginning.
Although Chen De's descendants suffered, he himself was still very lucky, and at least he got a good death in the end.
I don't know how Chen De will feel after seeing what Zhu Yuanzhang did later, and I don't know if he will regret saving Zhu Yuanzhang in the first place.
finally exchanged his life for the carefree future generations, and the result was such a tragic situation.
