To say that Zhu Yuanzhang's most feared opponent is Chen Youyu, from a nameless pawn to a generation of tyrants, Chen Youyu's uprising cause is not simple, in the process of uprising, Chen Youyu has always been known for his fierce heart, I don't know how much blood is stained on his hands, even Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid of him, how did Chen Youyu ascend to the throne of God? And what kind of means did Zhu Yuanzhang feel ashamed of himself?
Hello everyone, welcome to spring and autumn record, there is something wrong welcome to correct, like my video remember to like and pay attention! Thank you
Zhu Yuanzhang as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty is well known to the world, and Chen Youyu was once the leader of the rebel army with the same name as Zhu Yuanzhang, the two people have been secretly fighting for many years, just as the so-called winner is the king, the loser is Kou, if Chen Youyu wins, perhaps history will change accordingly, in a game or battle, we often only remember the victorious side, but the strength of the losing side should not be underestimated, can be juxtaposed with the victor, where will the strength be? Similarly, Chen Youyu was also a jealous opponent of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The only thing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youyu have in common is probably that they climbed up step by step from the bottom. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family, often hungry and muddy life, in order to survive, in desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang can only go to be a monk, the monk's life is hard, but the good gangsters can barely get by; in contrast, Chen Youyu's life is much better, should inherit the glory of the ancestors, Chen Youyu also went to school when he was a child, and even became an official, the basic life is not worried.
The difference between the two is the starting point, Chen Youyu revolted because of ambition, he firmly believes that he will become a rich and noble person like the fortune teller said, although the current life is very comfortable, but Chen Youyu is not satisfied with this, he still wants more. The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising was because the temple could not provide him with continued survival, and at this time his friend suggested that he join the ranks of the rebel army, instead of starving like this, it was better to go out and find a way to survive, so Zhu Yuanzhang joined the ranks of the local rebel army Guo Zixing.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a man of great brains and strategies, especially prominent in the rebel army, so Guo Zixing admired Zhu Yuanzhang very much, Zhu Yuanzhang was also used by Guo Zixing's adopted daughter, and gradually Zhu Yuanzhang became an important member of Guo Zixing's rebel army; on the other hand, Chen Youyu did not lag behind, he was still personally recruited into the army by Ni Wenjun, before Ni Wenjun was an anti-thief, Chen Youyu helped Ni Wenjun to do some traitorous things, so he was highly valued by Ni Wenjun. Soon Chen Youyu's second rebellion came again, when Ni Wenjun also had a superior Xu Shouhui, Ni Wenjun always wanted to replace him, so Ni Wenjun did not expect that Chen Youyu, who was on his side, betrayed him, and actually helped Xu Shouhui solve Ni Wenjun, and the two rebellions can be seen that Chen Youyu is an extremely cunning and greedy person.
Chen Youyu's timely "taking sides" brought him a lot of benefits, on the one hand, more and more people in the army convinced Chen Youyi, on the other hand, Chen Youyu also accumulated his own troops, a big move, Chen Youyu's swagger made Xu Shouhui feel a crisis, but before Xu Shouhui could move, Chen Youyu took the lead in leading his subordinates to kill Xu Shouhui, which was the third rebellion. Since then, Chen Youyu has become the supreme leader of the Southern Red Turban Army, of course, his ambitions are more than this, he also wants the world to belong to himself, all the way to lead the rebel army to conquer the four sides. Chen Youyu can abandon one person after another who trusts him for the sake of immediate interests, and since ancient times, the fate of treacherous people will not be good. After chen youyi captured several important military towns, he began to arrange his great cause of becoming emperor, and on the day of Chen Youyu's ascension to the throne, it happened to be a cloudy and uncertain weather, which seemed to be a metaphor for the instability of Chen Han's regime. In fact, when the national rebel army rose, their goal was the same, that is, to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youyu and Zhu Yuanzhang were not yet hostile relations at that time, and after the complete overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty, the two sides began to compete for each other's regions, and the two formally had a duel.
The first duel is the Battle of Longwan, this battle from the strength of both sides, Chen Youyu is better, after Chen Youyu attacked Taiping, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the situation was not good, and then continue like this, soon other positions will also be swallowed up by Chen Youyu, at this time Liu Bowen proposed a way to deal with it, everyone knows that Chen Youyu is arrogant and arrogant, simply use this feature of him to lure into the trap that has been ambushed in advance, and then sweep it away, just as Liu Bowen predicted, Chen Youyu's heart is uncertain and eager to succeed, However, this battle did not completely defeat Chen Youyou, after all, the military strength that Chen Youyu had accumulated earlier was still very solid, and what really made Chen Youyu completely collapse was the Battle of Poyang Lake.
This battle is an even match, the strength and military strength of both sides are similar, and both have the blessing of famous generals, in such a crucial battle, Chen Youyu's shortcomings were exposed, before he betrayed the ancestors one after another, he did not trust any one person, even the current enemy did not believe in his subordinates, in the stage of the stalemate between the two sides, Chen Youyu's main forces were surrounded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and when Chen Youyu discussed countermeasures with his two generals, the two generals each held different opinions. As the leader, Chen Youyu did not stand up and reconcile, but instead adopted the suggestion of one of the generals, and the other general was not happy, and felt more and more that Chen Youyu was not the material of the block, so the general turned to Zhu Yuanzhang, and what was more interesting was that the general who was preparing to lead the army to break through heard that the general had defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also left, and before leaving, he also took the army with him.
In the end, only Chen Youyu was left alone, without exception, he was subdued by Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and Chen Youyu also died in a chaotic arrow, only four years of being called emperor, Chen Youyu was both brave and good at war and had the thoroughness of current affairs, but in the end he was defeated in his conceit and suspiciousness, why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to win the Battle of Poyang Lake, it was precisely because he was thirsty for talent, knew how to win people's hearts, and the first thing to do to serve the people was humility, but it was a pity that Chen Youyu did not understand this truth.
