Chapter 9 Chapter Eight: The Terrible Chen Youliang

After Chen Youliang killed Ni Wenjun, he became the most important minister of the Tianwan Kingdom with his so-called Kuangfu. He is a man of great leadership ability. Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, asked Han Xin how many soldiers he could bring. Han Xin told him that there were only 100,000 soldiers. It cannot be accommodated by one hundred thousand soldiers. Compared with him, Xu Shouhui is far behind. This person is indeed a good person, but he is nothing but a good person. Chen Youliang gets angry when he sees Xu Shouhui sitting on the throne every day. Why is this trash sitting on it? Also ask him for instructions, when the frequency of this idea appears more and more frequently, the plot in the mind will become an action.

It was easy to get rid of Xu Shouhui, but first he had to get rid of his Mingjiao brothers, and the first one was Zhao Pusheng. So, not long after, Zhao Pusheng was killed in the name of conspiracy. Ding Pulang and Fu Youde were not idiots. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they slipped away and went to Zhu Yuanzhang to continue working. At this time, Xu Shouhui really became the polished commander, and he was a pawn in Chen Youliang's hands. Therefore, there is such a strange description in almost all history books: In the 20th year of Zhengzheng (1360 AD), Xu Shouhui attacked under the hostage of Chen Youliang. Zhu Yuanzhang.

Attacking is still being hijacked by others. Being an emperor to this point, he might as well die. Xu Shouhui didn't want to die, he handed over the power to Chen Youliang, he just wanted to live. Chen Youliang belonged to the kind of person who "would not allow others to sleep soundly before lying on the couch", and he would never let Xu Shouhui go. This day finally came. On June 16th (accurate enough) in the 20th year of Zhengzheng (1360 A.D.), Chen Youliang led an army of 100,000 troops down the river to conquer Zhu Yuanzhang's quarrying. Xu Shouhui has always been very enthusiastic about these activities.So he was invited to the temple.

When he came to the temple, Chen Youliang was standing in front of the window with two guards standing beside him, and it was raining heavily outside. Chen Youliang ignored him, Xu Shouhui was somewhat embarrassed, he walked to Chen Youliang's side, and said in a flattering tone: "We are about to take down Yingtian, it's all thanks to you." Chen Youliang didn't look back, but said lightly: "It's a pity that you won't see that day." Xu Shouhui was stunned. It's not that he didn't think about this day coming, but when it came, it was still so cruel.

Neither of them spoke. Deathly silence. Xu Shouhui's sweat and tears came down, and the fear in his heart was like a big hand dragging him into the bottomless abyss. "I'll give you the throne, and I'll make a seal, do you think it's okay?" Chen Youliang finally turned his head. He looked at Xu Shouhui with an unbelievable look, and said the last words he heard in his life, "How did you survive in this troubled world?" The guard stepped forward and smashed Xu Shouhui's head with a hammer prepared in advance. When Xu Shouhui fell down, the last thing he saw was Chen Youliang's cold gaze.

The guards washed away the blood of the former boss and arranged the hall, because the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor will be held here soon. In the 20th year of Zhizheng (AD 1360), on June 16th, Chen Youliang was enthroned as emperor in Wutong Temple in a storm, and the name of the country was Han. This is the law of survival in troubled times, Xu Shouhui, you don't understand. Although Chen Youliang is an out-and-out immoral person, he is a person who dares to act and act. His reign title of the Han Dynasty is "Dayi". It's really cruel. The person who killed the king dared to name his year name righteously. This tells us another message. This is a person who does not follow the rules of the game. In his eyes, all benevolence, righteousness and morality are bullshit , Aren’t you not ashamed of the act of regicide, gentlemen of Taoism, I will show you, my reign name is Dayi!

It is true that such a person is difficult to deal with. To deal with such a person, it is impossible to behave like a gentleman, and it is impossible to follow the rules. Who can stand against such a terrible person. It seems that only Zhu Yuanzhang is left. After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yingtian, both Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng felt the potential of this opponent.They are all very powerful people, who is the biggest threat to them, they are very clear in their hearts.Although Zhu Yuanzhang is still very weak, he must not be underestimated. But Chen Youliang did not control the regime of Tianwan Kingdom at that time, so it was Zhang Shicheng who first clashed with Zhu Yuanzhang. The two sides have never stopped since Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Yingtian in the 16th year of Zhizheng (AD 1356). For hundreds of battles, Zhu Yuanzhang had a great headache for Zhang Shicheng. He only occupied some territory, so why did he make it difficult for him? Originally, the strength of the troops was already beyond their reach, but the house leaked and it rained all night. In June of the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang’s generals surrendered to Zhang Shicheng. At this time Zhu Yuanzhang made an important decision.

He wanted to negotiate with Zhang Shicheng and wrote a letter to Zhang Shicheng. The general content was: I am a poor farmer, you are a private salt dealer, everyone is a poor person, why do you have to beat me, let us live in peace, from time to time Wouldn't it be nice to drop by? Zhu Yuanzhang did this because he had already started a war with Xu Shouhui, and fighting on two fronts was very unfavorable to him, but Zhang Shicheng was not an idler, and he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy, so he wrote back to Zhu Yuanzhang, to the effect: Get lost wherever you come from Where to go back, I have already made an appointment with Xu Shouhui, and I must kill you.

If you can't agree, let's fight. In July of the same year, Zhang Shicheng aggressively attacked Zhenjiang controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang had been prepared for a long time and ordered his ace generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to fight. Changzhou was conquered in 1357, and then in the battle to conquer Ningguo, Chang Yuchun fully inherited Xia Houdun's spirit of being injured and unable to go to the front line. He still insisted on fighting after being hit by three arrows (penetrating wounds), and captured Ningguo again.Zhang Shicheng suffered a crushing defeat. In fact, Zhang Shicheng's army was not bad in combat effectiveness, and its number was larger than that of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, but it was defeated miserably. From the above situation, we can draw the conclusion that it is easy to get thousands of troops, but hard to find one general.

Chang Yuchun didn't follow Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time. He didn't come to join him until Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Hezhou in the fifteenth year of Zhizheng (1355 AD). Although he came late, he was not polite at all. He just said, I'm here Here is to be a pioneer, print the pioneer to me. Zhu Yuanzhang has seen many madmen, but he has never seen such a madman. He said angrily: "Your boy is just a refugee who doesn't have enough to eat. How could I give you such What about official positions (Ming History Chronicle).Chang Yuchun smiled and said: Just wait and see. He proved his strength with actions.

During Zhu Yuanzhang's battle to conquer the quarry, the Yuan Dynasty army lined up on the shore, Zhu Yuanzhang's navy could not approach, and looked anxious. At this moment, Chang Yuchun's ship passed by, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered his words, and expressed his gratitude to Chang Yuchun. Chun Da shouted: Boy, don't you want to be a pioneer, now is the time!Chang Yuchun stepped forward courageously in response to the sound, single-handedly stabbing at the Yuan army on the shore with his long spear, and the Yuan army caught his long spear (Yu Chun responded, and went forward, the enemy caught his spear), but he did not expect Chang Yuchun's attack It was for this purpose that he jumped onto the shore with a long dagger in his hand (this seemed to be a pole-vaulting action), killed several people in a row and opened up a beachhead, and the soldiers behind swarmed up and occupied the quarry. After this war, Zhu Yuanzhang re-acquainted with this young man named Chang Yuchun, and personally awarded him the official position of pioneer in the Governor's Mansion. Chang Yuchun is a natural pioneer material. He is good at using cavalry to make a breakthrough, chooses the attacking position accurately, and can judge the battlefield situation calmly. In addition, he is also a master of martial arts, and his personal martial arts are also very good. This advantage lies in Later played a great role. But he also has a fatal weakness, he likes to kill, and it is the most immoral kind - killing surrender. There is an old saying that killing and surrendering is inauspicious. From a moral point of view, the opponent has already surrendered, and it seems that it will not be so honorable to do it again, but he just likes this, and this hobby has also caused Zhu Yuanzhang a catastrophe.
