Chang Yuchun bravely marched forward, single-handedly holding a long go to the yuan army on the shore, the yuan army caught his long ge (meet the spring response, fight straight forward, the enemy took his spear), but did not think that Chang Yuchun's purpose was precisely here, he held the long ge in his hand and jumped on the shore (this seems to be a pole jumping action), killed several people in a row to open up the beachhead position, and the soldiers behind him rushed up and occupied the quarry.
This is the famous popular reading of the History of the Ming Dynasty, "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty", which depicts the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Kaiping, who often encountered the spring gods and bravely fought.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yuchun was second only to Xu Da, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. And the encounter between Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang is even more bizarre and bizarre.
Chang Yu Chun was originally a Huaiyuan man, he was born with divine powers, and he had a pair of ape arms that shot arrows, and was famous in the countryside. However, Chang Yuchun was not willing to be a farmer, so he often engaged in adultery. If it were not for the chaos in the world, Chang Yuchun would not have been arrested by the government, let alone exiled, and it was possible to lose his head.
However, Chang Yuchun was very lucky, he was born in a chaotic world, and for this "killing god", it was the time to make a big show. The endless "killing desire" in Chang Yuchun's heart can be released freely in the chaotic world.
During the Red Turban Rebellion, Chang Yuchun joined the cottage of the robber Liu Ju. However, Chang Yuchun found that this Liu Ju had no great ambitions at all, and only liked to rob the family and rob women, and had no future. Therefore, disappointed to the extreme, Chang Yuchun decided to defect to zhu Yuanzhang, a small warlord who was in the limelight.
Halfway to the road, I was often sleepy and hungry in the spring, so I took a nap in the empty field ridge. Halfway through his sleep, Chang Yuchun suddenly had a strange dream: a murderous god of killing, clad in armor and holding a large shield, yelled at himself:
"Rise up, Lord!"
Translated into modern chinese: "Wake up, your lord is coming."
So Chang Yuchun suddenly woke up and saw an army with the "Zhu" character flag passing by from Tanabe. There is really no place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. Chang Yuchun rushed to this army and found that it was indeed Zhu Yuanzhang's troops. As a result, Chang Yuchun joined Zhu Yuanzhang's department and became a soldier.
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was not kind to Chang Yuchun, believing that he was just a strong thief who wanted to eat enough. But what? Chang Yuchun asked Zhu Yuanzhang all day long: "I want to play forward." But Zhu Yuanzhang, out of suspicion of him, has been unwilling to agree.
In April of the fifteenth year of Zhengzheng (1355), Zhu Yuanzhang attacked the quarry, while the Yuan army waited on the other side of the river and could not attack for a long time. So Zhu Yuanzhang said to Chang Yuchun, "Don't you want to strike forward?" Do you want to try it? ”
And what about spring? Waiting for this opportunity, he single-handedly opened up a position at the quarry beachhead. Although the Yuan army was numerous, they did not dare to get close. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed to see this, so he immediately poured in from the gap opened by Chang Yuchun and successfully conquered the quarry.
Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has taken Chang Yuchun as the vanguard whenever he has fought, and it can really be said that those who deserve to be broken and those who are hit are served. However, compared with Xu Da, who did not commit any crimes in autumn, he often encountered spring love and murderous nature, as long as he broke through the city, he would slaughter the city with arson, and as long as he captured the prisoners, he would definitely slaughter the pieces of armor.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly warned Chang Yuchun: "Conquer the city and don't kill too many people, if there are no people, even if you get the land, what is the use?" "However, chang yuchun who killed the red-eyed one managed so much, or killed it." Although he often disobeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's general orders, Chang Yuchun would indeed fight, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also well aware of the principle that Ci was not in charge of the army, so he was also very kind to him.
In the battle against Chen Youyu, Chang Yuchun took the lead many times and made great achievements. In the fateful Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youyi's fierce general Zhang Dingbian killed zhu Yuanzhang's three generals in a row and pounced on Zhu Yuanzhang's ship. Zhu Yuanzhang could not escape, and was almost killed by Zhang Dingbian. Chang Yuchun arrived at the right time and shot Zhang Dingbian with an arrow, saving the life of the Lord.
Subsequently, Chang Yuchun and others set fire to Chen Youyu's warship, killing the enemy army in a big defeat, and Chen Youyu himself was shot and killed. After the demise of Chen Youyi's forces, Chang Yuchun was designated as the number one hero by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang praised him: "When there are millions of people, the destruction of the front is like a deputy general." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang successively pacified Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng, two strong enemies, and already had the capital to attack the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition, so with Xu Da as the general and Chang Yuchun as the deputy general, the army attacked the Yuan Dynasty in two ways.
Before the expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang warned him: "You lead the soldiers too much like to lead the soldiers, but with a million troops, who can personally cut people like a small colonel, I hope you pay attention." ”
However, often in the spring which will listen. In the battle against Shandong, he often encountered a recurrence of old spring diseases, and even abandoned the large army to charge alone. More than 20 knights of the Yuan army, armed with spears, came to stab him together, and as a result, they were killed several times by Chang Yuchun. The Ming army saw that Chang Yuchun was so brave, so they followed him to the enemy army and killed the Yuan army in a big defeat.
After conquering Shandong and Tongguan, most of the Yuan Dynasty was already alone. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun marched forward in two directions, and finally captured Dadu without a fight, destroying the Yuan Dynasty.
After most of them were conquered, Chang Yuchun followed Xu Da to sweep through the Northern Yuan forces and conquer his capital Kaiping. However, in the process of returning to the division, Chang Yuchun suffered from "armor removal wind" and unfortunately died of stroke at the age of 40.
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised to hear the news of Chang Yuchun's death. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang personally paid tribute to Chang Yuchun and posthumously honored him as the King of Kaiping.
As a general, Chang Yuchun never lost his army, and together with Xu Da, he was known as the Ming Empire Shuangbi. Chang Yuchun often said that as long as he was given 100,000 troops, he could run amok in the world, so Chang Yuchun also got the nickname of "Chang 100,000".
However, he often encountered spring bloodlust, slaughtering the city and killing prisoners many times, and his hands were stained with blood. During the war, Zhu Yuanzhang was still able to forgive Chang Yuchun's mistakes; but in peacetime, if Chang Yuchun could not restrain his character, I am afraid that he would only be unable to eat and walk. Moreover, Chang Yuchun's nephew was still the blue jade who was later condemned by Zhu Yuanzhang's clan. At that time, how can the Chang Yu chun family be spared? Therefore, Chang Yuchun's early death was his luck, at least to keep his name behind him.
For chang Yuchun's death, Mingyue once spoke highly of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty":
"Chang Yuchun's life, from volunteering in the Taiping War to going north out of the desert, invincible, he proved with his own actions that he was a true military genius and a true first pioneer. His life was like a brilliant shooting star, short but shining. ”
