I believe that readers who are involved in Chinese history are well aware of the truth behind the eight words of "long time must be united, and long time must be divided", in China's five thousand years of history, dynastic changes and institutional changes are very normal things. After all, the existence of the hereditary system leads to the fact that even the most powerful dynasty will encounter the emperor who is not in charge of the right business, so the change of dynasties is as normal as the law of nature.
However, whenever the dynasty changes, countless wars will occur in the vast Central Plains. During this period, there will always be countless chaotic tyrants, who are either born from the royal family or are only the children of the cold door, and finally those who can calm the world in the chaotic world can smoothly start a new dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a good example, he was born in the grass, but after half a lifetime of horse riding career, he laid a great ming for himself. However, the protagonist of today's story is not him, but Xu Shouhui, who is also from a commoner with Zhu Yuanzhang. Most people now don't remember his name, but he is indeed a Party Haojie who once served as the leader of Zhu Yuanzhang.
In 1351, the absurd and brutal rule of the Yuan rulers had aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the masses, and in April of that year, Jia Lu was ordered to lead more than 100,000 laborers to govern the Yellow River. Under Jia Lu's high-pressure management, the laborers complained, and the White Lotus Sect Member Han Shantong saw the opportunity to revolt, and they placed the Cyclops under the Huangling Gang and launched an uprising.
In order to make his rebels more recognizable, Han Santong asked his soldiers to wear red turbans. Han Santong's insurrection methods and troop management measures deeply affected a rural peddler, who was none other than the protagonist of today's story, Xu Shouhui.
Nearly 4 months after the Han Shantong uprising, Xu Shouhui also made a big wave in the Dabie Mountain area and established his own rebel army. In order to emulate Han Shantong, Xu Shouhui asked his rebel soldiers to wear red turbans. Although Xu Shouhui only sells cloth on weekdays, Xu Shouhui is absolutely unambiguous when fighting.
First of all, within the rebel army, not only Xu Shouhui's forces, Peng Yingyu, Zou Pusheng and others also had a considerable position. However, as the rebel army continued to grow, the leader could only be held by one person. With his integrity and decisiveness, Xu Shouhui received help and support from many people, which eventually made him a victor in the infighting and began to lead the uprising.
After the banner of the uprising was officially launched, Xu Shouhui judged the situation and saw that the people had long hated the decadent rule of the late Yuan Dynasty, so his army and civilians were very close. With the strength of civilians, Xu Shouhui's army was unstoppable, and they occupied most of what is now Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi in just one year.
During this year, Xu Shouhui's army also expanded several times, and his soldiers had hundreds of thousands of people. In order to better publicize his prestige, Xu Shouhui claimed that his army exceeded one million.
After the army had been formed, a monk named Peng Yingyu came to the door, who was proficient in medical skills and proficient in Wenzhi. With peng Yingyu's help, Xu Shouhui was like a tiger, and they quickly attacked the city of Xuzhou. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in Xu Shouhui's lineup.
After years of conquest, Xu Shouhui's ambitions also began to appear more and more, and he also wanted to become a commoner emperor like Liu Bang. So Xu Shouhui built the capital in Pushui and built his own country, with the name of "Heaven end".
After the establishment of the state, Xu Shouhui did his best to persuade Nongsang to do his best internally, and also minted the domestic unified currency "Xu Shouhui Money". Externally, he continued to march north, attracting a large number of haojie from the south to come and defect, and for a time Xu Shouhui was full of vigor and was very proud.
However, after successive conquests of Xiangyang and Jingmen, Xu Shouhui attracted the attention of the Yuan court, and they quickly began to dispatch troops to encircle and suppress Xu Shouhui. In order to deal with the encirclement and suppression, Peng Yingyu personally led the army to fight, but in the melee, Peng Yingyu died on the battlefield, and Xu Shouhui also began to go downhill.
Peng Yingyu's death caused Xu Shouhui to lose his think tank, and xu Shouhui was unable to send troops to fight for several years, and in the years when he was forced to adjust, the power of The Minister Ni Wenjun began to grow. Ni Wenjun colluded with a number of ministers in the court, which made Xu Shouhui gradually empty, and the emperor became nominal.
When the time was ripe, Ni Wenjun planned to directly assassinate Xu Shouhui and return to the imperial court. At this critical juncture, Chen Youyu discovered Ni Wenjun's plot and trickery, and he quickly sent troops to kill Ni Wenjun.
Chen Youyu's outstanding performance makes Xu Shouhui very important to him, how can Chen Youyu be just another "Ni Wenjun". Although Chen Youyu did not move his own idea of becoming emperor at first, he still kept pulling gangs and factions to weaken Xu Shouhui's real power.
Soon, Chen Youyu became the real leader of this Red Turban Army, so when Xu Shouhui proposed to move the capital to Longxing, Chen Youyu very domineeringly rejected this proposal.
After recognizing the true face of Chen Youyi, Xu Shouhui decided to lead his own people to move the capital, but Chen Youyi had already set up an ambush on the way, so Xu Shouhui completely lost his cronies and had to move the capital to Jiangzhou together with Chen Youyi.
In 1360, Chen Youyi, who had completely become the leader of the army, led his troops to Quarry Rock, and Xu Shouhui was also taken hostage. Since ancient times, quarry rocks have been a place of contention for soldiers, where countless wars have taken place and the blood of countless warriors has been shed. This made Xu Shouhui uneasy, but he couldn't do anything without the strength of the chicken.
Sure enough, Chen Youyu, who did not stay here for long, quickly sent his subordinates to assassinate Xu Shouhui, and they smashed Xu Shouhui's head with iron products, and this Haojie, who had commanded Zhu Yuanzhang, was killed here.
Chen Youyi, who killed Xu Shouhui, changed the country's national name, along with xu Shouhui's past. Although Xu Shouhui once served as the leader of Zhu Yuanzhang, after the establishment of the Ming regime, as a former enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the history of Xu Shouhui was more or less tainted.
In today's various history books, it is difficult for us to find detailed information about Xu Shouhui, and most of the information about him in the history of the Ming Dynasty has been blackened. But Ma Yuan told us that we should always look at problems in two, and Xu Shouhui also had his own brilliance.
