A knife in love

Chapter 3548

After the Battle of Mobei, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was impossible to completely wipe out Meng Yuan at the moment, so he changed from attack to defense, and no longer thought about chasing Meng Yuan's defeated remnants.Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about famous generals in the world with his ministers, he once asked the generals who could be called a strange man in the world.Some people say that General Xu Da led the army to fight in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle. He can be called a strange man in the world.Some people say that the general Chang Yuchun was brave and invincible, he commanded an army of [-] troops across the world, and he never lost a single defeat in his life, so he should be a strange man in the world.After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again and again, and said in his mouth, when I was planning the Northern Expedition to Mengyuan in Yingtianfu, Mr. Liu Ji once reminded me that Wang Baobao was brave and good at fighting, very wise, and he must never underestimate the enemy.I know how powerful Wang Baobao is, so I remind the generals to be very careful when they meet Wang Baobao, and not to be careless in the slightest.But the generals still underestimated this person, and finally the army was defeated by Wang Baobao in Mobei.Xu Da is clever and cunning, and Chang Yuchun is brave and invincible. Together, there is almost no one in the world.I can keep the two generals under my tent, but I can't convince Wang Baobao, this man deserves the name of a strange man in the world.

The second great enemy Zhu Yuanzhang encountered in his life was Zhang Shicheng who ruled the southeast.Zhu Yuanzhang once became an ally with Zhang Shicheng and communicated with each other, but in the end they turned into enemies and fought.It is a pity that Zhang Shicheng was defeated and captured, and died under the chaos of sticks.However, it was the third enemy that Zhu Yuanzhang encountered in his life that made Zhu Yuanzhang terrified and uneasy, and even almost made Zhu Yuanzhang doomed. This person was Chen Youliang, who established himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.Chen Youliang was born in a poor fisherman's family. He has gone through many hardships. In the end, he held an army of hundreds of thousands and claimed to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang turned against Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. In terms of power, Zhu Yuanzhang was at the bottom and was surrounded by Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's two powerful enemies. The situation was the most unfavorable.And Chen Youliang occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, taking advantage of the terrain, holding 60 to [-] soldiers, and has the heart to enter the south of the Yangtze River.Zhang Shicheng has enough troops and food, and has occupied the affluent Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In terms of money, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang are far behind him.

When Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang fell out with Zhu Yuanzhang, all the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Chen Youliang's territory was thousands of miles away from Yingtian Mansion and would not attack easily, but Zhang Shicheng was close at hand, and Ying Tianfu was the greatest threat. Zhang Shicheng had to be defeated first, and then Go back to the teacher to deal with Chen Youliang.Zhu Yuanzhang thought that although Zhang Shicheng had enough soldiers and food, he had no ambitions, and he would be safe if he was a little rich. He only wanted to occupy Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to enjoy happiness, and he had no ambition to enter the world at all.And Chen Youliang is a hero of a generation, with the ambition to annex the world, always thinking of leading hundreds of thousands of troops down the Yangtze River, capturing Jiangnan in one fell swoop, and then competing with Meng Yuan for the world.If he tried his best to deal with Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang would definitely take the opportunity to march eastward, and he would be defeated by the enemy at that time.If Chen Youliang was marched west, Zhang Shicheng only wanted to protect himself, thinking that he could sit on the sidelines, watch the tigers fight from the sidelines, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and would never send troops to attack Yingtian Mansion.

After the generals heard Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, many people disagreed.Knowing that the generals were not convinced, Zhu Yuanzhang had no time to explain in times of crisis, so he could only act arbitrarily, and personally led an army of 20 to the west to fight Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake.Although Zhu Yuanzhang had a cloud of fierce generals under his command, but Chen Youliang had 60 troops under his command, and his brave generals were not much worse than those under Zhu Yuanzhang's command.As soon as the two armies clashed, Chen Youliang's navy immediately gained the upper hand due to their large numbers and huge warships.Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers and horses were in a bad situation, Chen Youliang thought that he was sure of winning, so complacent, he even drove the boat close to the water surface where the two armies were confronting each other, and opened the wooden window of the cabin from time to time, sticking his head out to look around.

It was Chen Youliang who deserved his death. His ship was far taller than other warships, and yellow flags were planted all over the ship. When he appeared on the battlefield, he was immediately spotted by Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers.These soldiers guessed that this big ship must be the ship of the enemy general, or even the warship of the enemy general Chen Youliang, so they made up their minds to shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first. As the boat approached, not only were these soldiers not afraid, but they rushed towards Chen Youliang's boat in small boats.Chen Youliang's soldiers tried their best to stop them, and they fought to the death without retreating.Sitting in the cabin, Chen Youliang heard the roar of killing outside, thinking that his soldiers had already defeated Zhu Yuanzhang's navy, so he poked his head out of the wooden window to check the battle situation, and suddenly a cold arrow shot over, hitting Chen Youliang's forehead .Chen Youliang let out a scream, and immediately fell to the ground. The soldiers under him saw that the lord was hit by an arrow, and they were in chaos. They didn't have the mind to fight the enemy, and they all ran away. Zhu Yuanzhang's navy took the opportunity to cover up and kill Chen Youliang's navy. It was almost annihilated.

After the fall of Chen Youliang's naval army, most of the soldiers on land were disorganized without fighting. The remaining defeated soldiers fled desperately and retreated to Chen Youliang's lair.Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to pursue and kill Chen Youliang, and went straight to Chen Youliang's lair, and finally forced Chen Youliang's son to surrender.Although Zhu Yuanzhang killed Chen Youliang, whenever he thinks of this great battle, he is always terrified, thinking that he can defeat Chen Youliang, not because his soldiers are better than Chen Youliang's soldiers, but because God has mercy on him and helped him Big win.Thinking of the difficult and dangerous moments of the Poyang Lake War, Zhu Yuanzhang hated Chen Youliang even more. He was extremely jealous of Chen Youliang's soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, and wished he could kill them all.It's just that when the Ming Dynasty was first established, most of the enemy soldiers who were lucky enough to survive also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. If they killed people indiscriminately, they might stir up civil uprisings and the Ming Dynasty might be overthrown.Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, so he didn't attack Chen Youliang's followers.

As the saying goes, capital crimes can be pardoned, but living crimes are inevitable. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a narrow-minded person who would repay Chen Youliang's subordinates. Although he did not kill Chen Youliang's generals for a while, he hated these people very much.When the world was at peace and no one dared to raise troops to rebel, he secretly sent his confidantes to leave the capital and led people to arrest Chen Youliang's most capable generals, their parents, wives, children and clan members, although they did not exterminate them However, these people were all driven onto the boat, and all their clan members were included in the lowly status. The descendants can only be fishermen for generations, and their feet are not allowed to step on the shore, otherwise it will be a serious crime of extermination.
