After all, the Dayuan Empire is not a native ethnic group in the Central Plains, even if the Southern Song Dynasty is destroyed, the rule of the Dayuan Empire in China is still very difficult, although the Dayuan adopts a high-pressure policy, but it cannot stand the large population of the Central Plains, and the Yuan Dynasty government gives more benefits? And they are all occupied by the ugliness of the nobles below, and give more oppression? The officials below took advantage of this to amass wealth, and the Yuan Dynasty made the people's livelihood in the country poor. So this dynasty is destined to be a short-lived dynasty.
So the Ming Dynasty ruled so corruptly, why didn't the Central Plains people resist sooner? In fact, it is not that they do not resist, but they have been waiting for the opportunity, the Central Plains people are the most able to endure and Taoguang obscure people, the result of the premature uprising is to be ruthlessly crushed, so for the sake of safety, wait for the opportunity, the opportunity to turn the face immediately (can also be said to judge the situation).
Later, in the late Yuan Dynasty, because of the death of the nobles in the Central Plains, the Central Plains people saw that the Mongol cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty had long since fallen into disrepair, and the Yuan army was also more than one dish, so the rebellion began, which was the wisdom of the Central Plains. What everyone may not know is that there are many peasant uprisings at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the uprisings of the nobles of the Central Plains, and it can be said that there are uprisings all over China, as large as a prefecture and county, as small as a township, and almost all the people in the Central Plains are fighting against the tyrannical Yuan with the same enemy, and during this period, a tyrant-like figure appeared - Chen Youyu.
Who is Chen Youyi? If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang, we might not have known who he was. Chen Youyu is the son of a fisherman's family, the family is relatively poor, but Chen Youyu this person is very treacherous, but also knows how to speculate, he looked at the four walls of the family and thought that I will definitely not be like my father in the future, a lifetime of nests, but although I have culture, but there is no way, and I am relatively lazy and unwilling to do farm work, how to get rich?
Chen Youyu set his eyes on his future wife, Chen Youyu went down three or four times to seduce the big miss of a local family that was still relatively wealthy, Chen Youyu used all his strength to climb a yellow flower girl, and also got a Fengzi to get married.
In the end, the family saw that although Chen Youyu's family was poor, but Chen Youyu was still an elf, they acquiesced to this marriage, so Chen Youyu completed the first goal of life, but the disparity between Chen Youyu's identity and his wife's family was too big, and this disparity made Chen Youyu, who had strong self-esteem, very uncomfortable, but there was no way, who did not bow his head under the eaves.
After getting married, Yue Zhang found him a job as a county official, although the small official was not as good as the official, but he was also very oily, plus Chen Youyi's brain was fast, and he soon made himself the leader of the small official in the county town through some operations, and he also constantly begged the county official, hoping that he could make himself an official.
However, Chen Youyu was still too knowledgeable, and officials could not become officials unless they went to participate in the imperial examination, but Chen Youyu thought that the imperial examination of the Yuan Dynasty was very dark, and it was not a waste of time to participate in it himself, so he worked in the position of a small official for several years, feeling that promotion was hopeless, so he set his sights on power.
He saw through the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and thought that sooner or later it would be over; the ambition and desire for power in his heart made him can't help but want to slaughter the county officials and pull up a group of people to rebel vigorously, but reason still defeated desire, his own strength was weak, and sooner or later he would be doomed, so Chen Youyu also became one of the thousands of Central Plains people who were ready to rebel, ready to rebel at any time.
The rebel army Xu Shouhui's troops hit Chen Youyi's hometown, and the general who took over here was Xu Shouhui's beloved general Ni Wenjun. He is actually a distant relative of Xu Shouhui, relying on the relationship between relatives and xu Shouhui's army, the better, Ni Wenjun this person has no great ability, but also particularly greedy and lustful.
But Chen Youyu did not understand this Ni Wenjun, he just simply felt that following Xu Shouhui should be able to achieve a career, Xu Shouhui this person is not a qualified leader, the ability is not good, the shelf is still large, but Xu Shouhui's family is strong, Xu Shouhui relies on rich financial resources to pull up a team of people and horses, so the fight is getting bigger and bigger.
Chen Youyu knows that if he goes alone to surrender, people will certainly not want himself, even if he wants to be only a small soldier, then if he wants to prove his worth, then he will pull up a unit by himself, and then with this unit join the Red Turban Army, that is, the peasant rebel army in Jiangnan and the Central Plains at that time, Chen Youyu is still very capable, after he joined the Red Turban Army, not only reversed the disadvantage of the Red Turban Army that has not been able to defeat the elite of the Yuan Dynasty, but also helped the Red Turban Army to conquer many cities, So Xu Shouhui, the boss of the Red Turban Army, made him a marshal, in fact, the marshal of the Red Turban Army grabbed a large number.
Chen Youyu's uprising made his father-in-law panic, and even his father-in-law wanted to break off relations with him, but Chen Youyu's daughter-in-law was a female Haojie, and she directly broke off relations with her father, and she followed her husband to start a business. Although Chen Youyu is more ruthless and ruthless, he is really good to his relatives, it can be said that he is a look on the outside, and a look on the inside, and even has a wild history record, Chen Youyu is a wife who is strict, and his daughter-in-law puts his management under the obedience.
Chen Youyu initially thought that he must become the first major contributor around Xu Shouhui, but later he found that Xu Shouhui was a scum, indecisive, no talent, or even no opinion, can such a person unify the world? Chen Youyu did not believe it, and it was also at this time that Chen Youyu planted the seeds of usurpation in his heart, but now his own strength was not good, and he could only be regarded as the downstream strength in the Red Turban Army; Chen Youyu was constantly waiting for opportunities.
Later, Chen Youyu found that Xu Shouhui's distant relative Ni Wenjun wanted to kill the boss Xu Shouhui, Chen Youyu found that this was a good opportunity, Ni Wenjun's troops were not only well-equipped, but also had a lot of fertile base areas, if he could swallow him, then he was the biggest marshal of the Red Turban Army, so Chen Youyu knew that Ni Wenjun was going to rebel, he did not say, nor did he tell Xu Shouhui, just waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but unfortunately Ni Wenjun's rebellion failed, but was hunted down and killed by Xu Shouhui.
Ni Wenjun ran to Chen Youyu here, he felt that Chen Youyu was brought up by himself, then I came here, he would help himself, but Ni Wenjun still did not understand Chen Youyu, Chen Youjun was polite on the surface, and when Ni Wenjun did not pay attention, he killed him when the knife fell, and then sent Ni Wenjun's corpse to Xu Shouhui to ask for credit.
Xu Shouhui took a look, Chen Youyu was a loyal general, I want to use him well, so Chen Youyu swallowed Ni Wenjun's soldiers and horses, and also distributed some of Xu Shouhui's soldiers and horses and grain, for a while Chen Youyi's wings began to harden, but Xu Shouhui did not have the slightest doubt.
Chen Youyu still understood the advantage, he knew that now that Xu Shouhui had been slaughtered, he was very unfavorable to himself, first when he made his wings hard, and then talked about something else, so Chen Youyu began to hang his life, he attacked Anqing, Longxing, Ruizhou, Fuzhou, and later laid down Chudi, for a time Chen Youyu became the biggest force in the resistance to the Yuan, but nominally Xu Shouhui, but in fact Chen Youyu had already controlled the central power of the Red Turban Army.
At that time, it can be said that in the whole area south of the Yangtze River, Chen Youyu was the strongest army that deserved it, and even the Yuan army did not dare to confront Chen Youyu, chen Youyu was fierce and fierce, but he was very good at using people, the people he used were very capable, and he himself was also very strong in fighting, so Chen Youyu's troops as a whole were very strong.
Later, Chen Youyu felt that Xu Shouhui had no use value, so he took up the knife and slaughtered Xu Shouhui, and then established himself as Han and himself was the emperor.
Li Shanchang once said a strategy to Zhu Yuanzhang, "accumulate grain and slowly become king", which means that even in the chaotic world, whoever is called emperor first and who dies the most tragically, Chen Youyu is somewhat inflated, after he occupied a large area of land in the south, he thought that he was already the co-lord of the world who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, but his subordinates said to him: "Your Majesty, you see, Zhu Yuanzhang's power north of the Yangtze River is not small, and if His Majesty wants to become the co-lord of the world, he must first destroy him." ”
Under Liu Ji's planning, Zhang Shicheng did not help anyone, so the great battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youyu began vigorously, do you know how rich Chen Youyu's family foundation is in this big battle? Hundreds of building ships are still very large, and they bring 600,000 troops.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang, although his own family foundation is also OK, there are nearly 200,000 people, but the water army is still better than Chen Youyu, Zhu Yuanzhang is a bit weak, in the battle between the two armies, Zhu Yuanzhang's first direction core Nanchang City is the main strategic point, Chen Youyu sent more than 100,000 troops to besiege here for several months, and finally stunned is not broken, but also because of the Battle of Nanchang, let Chen Youyu's army be a little scattered, also because of this battle, Chen Youyu and Zhu Yuanzhang directly fought the main force, and Zhu Yuanzhang relied on fire to destroy Chen Youyu's building ship army, A generation of tyrants Chen Youyu fell.
