It is too low to be named an earl with Liu Bowen's merits, after all, the duke, the marquis, the earl, and the earl are ranked last, even if Liu Bowen is not good, he can be crowned a marquis.
But why did Zhu Yuanzhang only give him an earl? On the contrary, he directly gave you a duke to Li Shanchang? In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is not to blame, but Liu Bowen himself is to blame.
Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang's work in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp is similar to Zhang Liang and Xiao He, Liu Bowen is Zhang Liang, and Li Shanchang is Xiao He.
Since the first day of Li Shanchang's defection to Zhu Yuanzhang, the work he has presided over is logistics.
The army needs logistics to prepare food for war, and the army's expenses need to be carefully calculated by logistics; if there is a problem in any aspect that affects the development of the army, the logistics will certainly not be able to escape.
All in all, logistics is a hard, tiring and thankless job, and few people are willing to do it, let alone do it well. And Li Shanchang is not only willing to do it, but also able to do it well.
During Zhu Yuanzhang's conquest of the world, there has never been a problem with food, which mainly depends on Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang was not only able to solve the food problem calmly, but also made some unexpected work achievements that made Zhu Yuanzhang happy.
For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Quarry Rock and Taiping Road.
At that time, the army was exhausted, and if the quarry rock and Taiping Road were captured, the army was likely to burn and loot in order to vent, which would definitely cause strong dissatisfaction among the people.
And Li Shanchang had already thought of this, and prepared the announcement of strict military discipline in advance, and as soon as he captured the quarry, Taiping Road, he immediately sent people to post it on the street.
So that Zhu Yuanzhang successfully avoided a riot.
In view of Li Shanchang's excellent work ability, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang personally goes out to fight, the rear will definitely be handed over to Li Shanchang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to Anfeng to save Han Lin'er, it was Li Shanchang who sat in the rear; when Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to Poyang Lake to fight Chen Youliang, it was also Li Shanchang who sat in the rear;
When Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to Hubei to exterminate the remnants of Chen Youliang's forces, it was Li Shanchang who sat in the rear.
Li Shanchang is like Zhu Yuanzhang's virtuous helper, who has been silently solving problems for Zhu Yuanzhang, but Liu Bowen is different, compared to Li Shanchang, he brings more uneasiness to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's base for fighting the world was in Yingtian, and when the Battle of Longwan occurred, Zhu Yuanzhang had just stabilized the situation in Yingtian.
In the face of Chen Youliang's 100,000-strong army going downstream, most of Zhu Yuanzhang's advisers advocated abandoning Yingtian and preserving their strength for later plans.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to, after all, he finally had a place to live in this troubled world, if he gave up Yingtian, would Chen Youliang let him go?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this group of unbeatable strategists in the past, and was very cold. But before Zhu Yuanzhang could express his meaning, another person expressed his meaning, and this person was Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen believes that although Zhu Yuanzhang is not comparable to Chen Youliang in terms of strength, he is still barely able to fight with Chen Youliang.
After all, it was Chen Youliang who came to fight Zhu Yuanzhang, not Zhu Yuanzhang who fought Chen Youliang, plus Chen Youliang was not familiar with the terrain near Nanjing, and Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly familiar with the terrain near Nanjing, so it should not be difficult to win a battle.
Later things developed completely according to Liu Bowen's intentions.
Zhu Yuanzhang set up an ambush in Longwan early, and it was night, as soon as Chen Youliang came ashore, he was caught off guard by Zhu Yuanzhang, and lost nearly 30,000 soldiers, and returned defeated.
If Liu Bowen was just a clever plan, Zhu Yuanzhang might not be afraid of him, what made Zhu Yuanzhang afraid of him was that he was not only clever, but also had a very high level of thick black studies.
Zhu Yuanzhang belongs to the Red Turban Army system, and the leader of the Red Turban Army is Han Lin'er.
In the twenty-third year of Zhizheng, Han Lin'er was surrounded by Zhang Shicheng in Anfeng, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to save it, but Liu Bowen didn't let Zhu Yuanzhang save it.
The reason is very simple, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's power was the most powerful in the Red Turban Army system, and Han Lin'er, the nominal leader, should have died a long time ago.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen, and decided to save Han Lin'er, until he saved Han Lin'er, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
I believe that after Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, every time he thought of this incident, his back couldn't help but feel cold, if a certain situation occurred one day, Liu Bowen would also come to himself like this, would he be able to withstand it.
No one likes people who are a threat to themselves, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. Li Shanchang was named the Duke of Korea, and he was the only civil servant among the dukes, and the other five dukes were all military generals.
And Liu Bowen was named Count of Sincerity, just an earl. Even if he is an earl, his Yulu is also the lowest among the earls, with only 240 stones a year, while Li Shanchang is as high as 4,000 stones.
It's almost understandable, but it's so much worse that it's hard to understand. I believe that Liu Bowen must have been stunned for a moment when he learned of his reward.
However, with Liu Bowen's IQ, he should be able to react soon, this is Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately suppressing him.
Liu Bowen is not only a 108,000-mile difference between his title and Li Shanchang. The position is also 108,000 miles away from Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang sits in Zhongshu Province, the official residence is the prime minister, under one person, above ten thousand people, and Liu Bowen is the official residence in the imperial history.
The prime minister has real power, can deal with twists and turns, meets individual prime ministers who love power, and can even privately determine the life and death of others.
And there is no real power in the hands of the imperial history, although he is the leader of the officials, but at most he has a political power, or sometimes he goes to the local place to show his prestige, and the power of the power center cannot be touched at all.
It is obvious that although Zhu Yuanzhang is wary of Liu Bowen, he is still reluctant to let Liu Bowen go, after all, at the beginning of the founding of the country, what was lacking was talent.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want Liu Bowen to go, Li Shanchang wanted Liu Bowen to go, because Liu Bowen didn't give him face.
Li Bin, a close confidant of Li Shanchang, was corrupt and committed a capital crime, and according to the decree of the time, he should be executed, and the person in charge of this matter was Liu Bowen.
Li Shanchang hoped that Liu Bowen could give face and let Li Bin go, but Liu Bowen refused and insisted on killing Li Bin, and Li Shanchang broke with Liu Bowen from then on.
Although Liu Bowen's methods are clever, they cannot reflect any effect in the face of absolute strength.
Li Shanchang, as the leader of the Huaixi Group, where is Liu Bowen his opponent.
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a native of Huaixi, and most of the heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world are also Huaixi people, which is why Huaixi dialect became an official dialect at that time.
Liu Bowen was squeezed back to his hometown Nantian by Li Shanchang, but Hu Weiyong, a close confidant of Li Shanchang, did not intend to let Liu Bowen go.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang once had the idea of making Hu Weiyong the prime minister (Li Shanchang knew the truth of retreating bravely in the torrent, and he disappeared into the court after defeating Liu Bowen), but Liu Bowen said that Hu Weiyong was neither talented nor virtuous, and was not suitable to be the prime minister.
At this time, Hu Weiyong was taking over the position of Li Shanchang's prime minister, and he wanted power and power, and he wanted people.
Hu Weiyong directly planted a crime of occupying Wang Qi's land on Liu Bowen's body.
Zhu Yuanzhang may not be nervous when others occupy the land of Wang Qi, but the person who occupies the land of Wang Qi is Liu Bowen, and Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit immediately collapsed.
immediately became furious and deprived Liu Bowen of his earl.
Liu Bowen knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was already suspicious of him, and if he stayed in his hometown Nantian any longer, he would probably die without a place to be buried, and there was only one way to die well.
That is to run under the nose of Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the capital Nanjing at that time.
Liu Bowen moved his family from Nantian to Nanjing, where he lived for three years, during which Zhu Yuanzhang never sent anyone to see him, until he fell ill.
The person sent is quite interesting, this person is Hu Weiyong.
Zhu Yuanzhang obviously wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and Hu Weiyong also took Zhu Yuanzhang's intention and put something that should not be put in Liu Bowenke's medicine, so that Liu Bowen felt a stone in his stomach since he took the medicine.
As the days passed, Liu Bowen felt that the stone in his stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and knew that he would die soon, so he wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang in the eighth year of Hongwu, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to return to his hometown.
The founder of Jinyiwei is Zhu Yuanzhang, with an eagle dog like Jinyiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang can know everything that happens in Nanjing for the first time.
He also knew what Hu Weiyong had done to Liu Bowen, so he put Liu Bowen back and returned to Nantian.
And Liu Bowen died less than a month after returning to Nantian. Liu Bowen lived all his life, and when he died, he died on his cleverness.
As long as the emperor Liu Bowen met was a suspicious emperor, no matter what he did, he would definitely die, who called him too smart.
Liu Bowen is dead, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong can't run away, whoever told them to meet is Zhu Yuanzhang.
First, Hu Weiyong was killed on the charge of rebellion, and then Li Shanchang was also killed by Zhu Yuanzhang on the charge of rebellion, and the three clans of Zhulian.
In contrast, Liu Bowen is still lucky, at least the three clans are still there, and only one of them died.
