Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 185 The First Coach of Ming Dynasty, Xu Da

Sun Wu, a famous military strategist and statesman in the Spring and Autumn Period of China.

The most holy military strategist, the master of a century of military strategists, can also be called the originator of oriental military science.

Sun Wu's merits will last for thousands of years.

Because of Sun Wu's unique status, rewards were given.

One of the rewards: a Shouyuan Pill, which can increase the lifespan by three years.

Reward [-]: There are several books of war in later generations, which can be used to enrich the connotation of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Reward [-]: one piece of green pill.

After Sun Tzu's inventory video ended, many people were already waiting for the next character to appear.

But at this moment, the civil servants of various dynasties are in very complicated moods.

This fierce general and the commander-in-chief of the three armies are all military officers.

The military attache has made two lists.

But what about their civil servants?

not a single one.

Therefore, the civil servants of various dynasties are envious and jealous!

This is especially true for civil officials in the Song Dynasty.

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were not angry when they saw those military officers with low status in their eyes appearing on the inventory list one by one.

In their view, they are nothing more than a bunch of fools.

It depends on them to govern the country.

Their self-confidence is costly.

In the Song Dynasty, the status of civil servants was indeed higher than that of military officials.

There is no way.

But the formation of this situation did not start when Zhao Kuangyin "drinking wine and releasing military power", but a gradual process.

During the period of Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty began to implement the system that meritorious officials should share the Taimiao.

If your achievements in life are good, your status will be high.

The two ministers who were assigned to the court of Song Taizu were the prime minister Zhao Pu and the famous general Cao Bin. Through such a configuration of one civil and one military, it can be seen that civil and military were relatively balanced in the early Song Dynasty.

After all, in the early days of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were still threats from the Northern Han and Khitan countries.

Song Taizu and Song Taizong also strongly hoped that one day they could recover Youyun Sixteen States, and they also made a lot of attempts for this, which made the generals still have a lot of use in these two dynasties.

When Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng arrived, he took over a relatively stable society and a revived Song Dynasty.

He no longer paid as much attention to generals as he did in the previous two dynasties.

He deserved the meritorious service for his father and became three people, two literate and one military, namely Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, and Pan Mei.

This time, the sharing of the Taimiao began to show the idea that civil servants are higher than generals, but during this period, we must also pay attention to armaments, and the hearts of generals should not be left out in the cold.

After Song Zhenzong's death, his supporting heroes were Li Hang, Wang Dan, and Li Jilong.

Although Li Jilong was relieved of his military power for a period of time, he still became a representative of generals by virtue of his performance in the Chanyuan League.

After the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty's foreign wars gradually decreased. For a while, literati ruled the army became the mainstream at that time, and generals became vassals of literati instead.

So starting from Song Shenzong, the names of military generals were no longer included in the list of meritorious officials in the Song Dynasty.

Under the idea that the imperial power and scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, the social status of military generals began to decline rapidly. The Song Dynasty, from the imperial court to the common people, showed more and more contempt for military generals.

It wasn't until the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty that the imperial court's attitude towards generals improved somewhat due to the continuous pursuit of Jin soldiers.

In Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's distribution of heroes, the names of generals appeared again. They were Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun.

But this phenomenon was only short-lived. After Song Xiaozong and Zhao Yu, the Song Dynasty immediately restored the era of exclusive civil servants.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the status of civil officials was indeed much higher than that of generals.

…………

Da Song, the civil servant watching the inventory video became more and more restless.

"Damn it, why are all the military generals appearing in the inventory, instead of us civil servants."

"Yeah, I also think it's just a bunch of reckless people, why should they be on the list."

"When will it be our civil servants' turn!"

"If it's the civil servant's turn, I, Da Song, will definitely be able to pass the list."

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty are complacent.

At the same time, Lin Zhou has also uploaded the video of the next character to appear on the Tianwanjie website.

The emperors and civil and military officials of various dynasties in parallel time and space looked at the projection on the sky.

I was the first to see the very familiar opening poem:

Don't be arrogant, and Xianglin is buried in the fields.

When the dragon and the tiger meet, the language is in vain.

Swing Ge to establish peace, Jiaolong dives into shallow water.

When you are sad and unable to understand, hold Ling Yunzhi in your arms.

The prison car is trapped, and it is very difficult.

Bian and Qu Zhen implement loyalty with their swords.

"Nice poem!"

"Hahaha! Let's say it should be my turn for this spot."

"Think of me, Guo Ziyi, who was born as a martial arts champion and was the No. 1 martial arts exam during the empress's time. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the real materials."

"Also, I, Guo Ziyi, went deep into Hebei and stabilized the general situation of the world with my own strength. I, Guo Ziyi, lived up to the expectations of me and regained Hedong without any effort."

"Severely injure the Anshi rebels, endure humiliation, persevere, and rebuild Datang!"

"Such a feat, isn't it worthy of this handsome list?"

In Datang, Guo Ziyi is very much looking forward to being on the list.

The video inventory in the sky continues:

Take stock of China's top ten marshals.

The person on the list-Xu Da.

The dynasty it belonged to - Ming Dynasty.

"Hahaha! Here we come!"

"finally come!"

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud.

It was finally Daming's turn.

Xu Da is his favorite general.

Now that he is in the Ming Dynasty, both Chang Yuchun and Xu Da are on the list, how wonderful it is.

"Xu Da? This fierce man really deserves to be on this list."

"Yes, this is the ruthless person who helped Zhu Yuanzhang take down the country."

"And killed a lot of Mongolian and Yuan troops, which can be said to give me a long face for the Han people."

"Correct."

…………

Xu Da was born in a poor peasant family. When he was young, he and Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and others often herded cattle for landlords. They were good friends who grew up in bitter waters.

Although Xu Da is four years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, he was born with "long, tall cheekbones, resolute and brave", and "has little ambition", so he fits well with Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters, plagues, and famines spread everywhere, especially in AH.

The poor could not survive, and they staged uprisings against the dark rule of the Yuan Dynasty, among which the Red Turban Army was the most powerful.

Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing's rebel army in the 11th year of the Yuan Dynasty and became the commander of the Red Scarf Army. He returned to his hometown to recruit soldiers in the summer of the following year.

Xu Da was very happy when he heard about it, and decided to join the Red Turban Army.

At that time, Xu Da was 22 years old. Because he was brave and good at fighting and knew a little about strategy, he soon became Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man.

Xu Da also began his military career from then on.

When he was first awarded the township governor, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Xu Da's talents surpassed all others, so he entrusted him with the important task of fighting in all directions instead of himself.

Guo Zixing was at odds with Sun Deya and others who were involved in the incident.

Zhao Junyong and Peng Da who occupied Xuzhou were defeated and defected to Haozhou.

Soon, Zhao and Peng became kings, and Guo Zixing was under the control and was almost killed.

Seeing that it was difficult to achieve great things in Haozhou, Zhu Yuanzhang led Xu Da, Tang He and other 14 generals to leave Haozhou in the autumn of the 24th year of Zhizheng, marched south to Dingyuan, and captured Chuzhou.

Xu Da charged into the battle, showing his bravery for the first time.

In February of the 15th year of Zhengzheng, there was no food and grass in Chuzhou, and Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Hezhou.

After attacking Hezhou, Guo Zixing captured Sun Deya, and Sun Deya's army also captured Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Da proposed to exchange himself for Zhu Yuanzhang, which resolved the conflict.

In June, Zhu Yuanzhang led Xu Da and others to cross the river, pull out quarries, go to Taiping, and further plot Jiqing.

In the battle against Caishiji and Taiping Mansion, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun charged forward and won the battle.

In August, Xu Da and others attacked Lishui, Liyang, Jurong, and Wuhu separately, all of which were defeated.

In February of the 16th year of Zhengzheng, the Hague Navy broke the barbarian.

In March, Jiqing was captured and changed to Yingtianfu.

Going east to Jingkou to conquer the city in one day, he was awarded the Marshal of Huai Xingyi Commanding Army.

In July, Zhu Yuanzhang called Wu Guogong and set up the Privy Council on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and took Xu Da as a colleague of the Privy Council.

Besieged Piling, captured Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shide alive, and captured his subordinate Zhang De alive with Chang Yuchun. In February of the following year, he captured Piling and was promoted to the Privy Council.

He conquered Ningguo and Xuancheng successively.

In October of the 18th year, Yixing was conquered.

In November, Zhu Yuanzhang personally conquered Wuzhou, and Xu Da stayed in Yingtianfu.

How fierce is Xu Da?
In October of the 27th year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was the time of high autumn and the fragrance of sweet osmanthus. Zhu Yuanzhang put on a helmet and armor, held a three-foot sword, stood on the general platform, and started the launching ceremony of his "Autumn Harvest Revolution".

After the four procedures of ordering generals, offering sacrifices to flags, passing on calls, and swearing in teachers.

Zhu Yuanzhang filled bowls full of wine for Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the commander and deputy commander of the expedition, and then said slowly: "We first started the revolution to save the people from the fire and water. With the joint efforts and support of everyone, First destroy Chen Youliang, then punish Zhang Shicheng, and then pacify the heroes of Fujian, Guangxi and other places, and then go to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, success or failure depends on one action, wait for your triumphant return, and then drink with him."

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun said in unison: "I will definitely live up to my lord's love."

"The road to the Northern Expedition is full of dangers. I don't know what good plan you two have?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, looking at Xu Chang and Xu Chang with fiery eyes, and said after a while: "The first step is to take Shandong and clear its periphery. The second step is to march into Henan. , cut its wings. The third step is to attack Xuanguan, according to its gate. At this time, the Yuan Dynasty must be destroyed even if it is not destroyed."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words pointed out the direction for them who were in confusion, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun could only nod their heads.

After Zhu Yuanzhang "presented his plan", he continued: "In addition, this Northern Expedition is in accordance with the will of God and the will of the people.

The purpose is to pacify the Central Plains, overthrow the Yuan Dynasty regime, liberate the people, save the people, calm the people, and serve the people, so people's livelihood is a very important issue.Therefore, you are only fighting this time and cannot disturb the people.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are worthy of the twin constellations, they marched swiftly and arrived in Huai'an in only three days after leaving the army.

Then, Xu Da decided to adopt a "soft" policy-surrender to Wang Xuan and his son who guarded Yizhou.

Facing Xu Da's move of "Huairou", Wang Xuan and his son's move was "pregnancy".

Wang Xuan immediately sent people to Huai'an to express his willingness to surrender and present rewards.

On the other side, he sent his son Wang Xin to contact everywhere, actively recruiting troops to prepare for the war.

It is also indecent to come and not to go. In this regard, on the one hand, Xu Da hurriedly reported the surrender letter of Wang Xuan and his son to Zhu Yuanzhang, and on the other hand, he tried his best to appease Wang Xuan and his son.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately replied to Xu Da, and named Wang Xin, the son of Wang Xuan, the Pingzhang of Jianghuai Province.Attached is a letter to Xu Da, in which there is only one sentence: You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

Xu Da is a smart man, so he naturally understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and became wary of Wang Xuan and his son.

Sure enough, when Xu Da sent envoys to "send happiness" to Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan detained the envoys and prepared to kill them in flagrant violation of "international law".

Seeing that the envoys sent by Xu Da had "gone and never returned", he immediately sent troops to Yizhou to "forcibly attack". Of course, in line with the principle of etiquette before soldiers, Xu Da still sent people to persuade Wang Xuan again.

On the surface, Wang Xuan still agreed to surrender and had no other intentions, but after the persuaders were dismissed, they closed the city gates tightly and refused to let Xu Da's army enter the city.

Now, Xu Da finally saw that Wang Xuan and his son were fooling him, and that everything they did was just a plan to slow down the army. Regarding this, the furious Xu Da no longer "talked", "sealed" and "rewarded", but "Hit" directly.

The city of Yizhou is small, and the reason why Wang Xuan dared to openly quarrel with Xu Da was entirely because of his son Wang Xin's beautiful belief of recruiting soldiers to help.

Therefore, when Xu Da got angry, the consequences were very serious, and he immediately attacked him, and he chose to defend.

However, he waited and waited for three days in a row, but there was no sign of Wang Xin.At this time, he was unable to resist Xu Da's offensive, so he had no choice but to open the door and surrender.

Xu Da showed a lot. He accepted Wang Xuan's "second entry" to the palace. The only condition was that he immediately recruited his son Wang Xin.

At this time, Wang Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and write a letter of persuasion to his son Wang Xin.Wang Xuan originally thought that the letter would come from someone, but unexpectedly, when Wang Xin received the letter, the letter did not come, and he even killed the messenger sent by Xu Da.

In a rage, Xu Da sent out troops again. As a result, Wang Xin was beaten all over the place, and he fled to Shanxi alone to seek refuge. Yizhou and nearby counties naturally became Xu Da's territory.

A monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. With Wang Xin gone, the time for Wang Xuan's death is also approaching.

Xu Da sent Wang Xuan to the guillotine for only one purpose: to kill chickens and monkeys.

After capturing Yizhou, Xu Da made persistent efforts, and immediately came to a three-step walk.

The first step was to stand still. Xu Da left some soldiers to guard the important areas of the Yellow River in Yizhou, with the purpose of blocking the reinforcements of the Yuan Dynasty in Shandong.

The second step is to advance steadily. Xu Da sent some soldiers from Xuzhou along the Grand Canal to attack Dongping, Jining and other places.

The third step is to carry on the past and open up the future. Xu Da personally led the main force to attack Yidu.

As a result, although Puyan Buhua, the defender of Yidu, Yuan Xuanfu made a tenacious resistance, he still couldn't stop Xu Da's progress. In the end, Puyan Buhua chose to live and die with Yizhou.

After Xu Da captured Yidu, he went all the way like a broken bamboo, taking Linzi, Changle and other six states one after another.

And Chang Yuchun was not far behind, and soon led the army to take Dongchang.In this way, in just three months, the whole of Shandong became the domain of "Zhu".

So far, Zhu Yuanzhang's first step in the Northern Expedition to "clear its periphery" plan has been successfully realized.

This also shows the role of Xu Da
