History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 283 Xu Da
I haven’t thought of a screen name yet, let’s use this first: I’ll go! That is to say, I can’t see anything wrong with him at all!

Jiangnan is already in mist: This is his wisdom. Do you understand Li Linfu's sweet words and swords? This is a more advanced handwriting
My charming and short-lived ancestor: I think the most advanced thing is that everyone knows it was him, but no one has proof.

Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): I'm different. I think the most amazing thing is that no one knows it's him, and everyone thinks he is a good person!

Fuling (Guan): No! The most powerful one is the one who kills invisibly, that is, he doesn't even know that the person who did it is him, and thinks that he wants to do it!
Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: All in all, it's not Li Si's kind of thing that everyone knows is you.
Yu Yusning: So, Si Xiang is not good at political struggle, otherwise how could he not even be able to defeat Zhao Gao!
My charming but short-lived ancestor: You yourself remind me of the saying 'I want to climb up step by step, I want to climb to the highest, I want to be Zhao Gao'

Jiangnan is already in mist: This is really a classic
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Yes! I got it before I even joined the circle!
I didn’t think about using this online name first: So Brother Zheng really loves Si Xiang!
Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Agreed! So Zheng Ge was dead and had no one to protect him, so he went to his death.

I can't sleep at night (Guan): It means that Si Xiang is ten or twenty years older than Brother Zheng, and his death is not far away!
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed! Very much agree!
Jiangnan is already in mist: Yes, so, Si Xiang can have many kings, but his majesty only has Ying Zheng!

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: just like what he said, 'You are a lonely young man, the only ones who know you are the king and the young master'!
Yu Yusning: The key is that the king is still ahead!

Su Yue looked at the comment area and said: "Okay, now let's take a look at the next one! This one is awesome! He is the Ming Dynasty Military God-Xu Da!"

Follow the call
Xu Da was born in the third year of Zhishun in the Yuan Dynasty (1332). He was a native of Yongfeng Township, Zhongli, Haozhou (now northeast of Fengyang, Anhui) and came from a farm family.

He has a resolute temperament, a slim face, a tall figure, and is good at using his brain when encountering problems.

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has developed a good kung fu.

In the twelfth year of Zhizheng (1352), Guo Zixing of Dingyuan (now part of Anhui) gathered a crowd to demonstrate his righteousness and captured Haozhou. Tang He, a native of Haozhou, led more than ten warriors to participate.

At Tang He's invitation, Zhu Yuanzhang also joined Guo Zixing's ministry.

In June of the thirteenth year of Zhizheng (1353), Zhu Yuanzhang was ordered by Guo Zixing to return to his hometown to recruit troops. Xu Da, who was only years old, readily accepted the call.

From then on, his military career began.

Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that Xu Da was "a leader in all the heroes despite his movements and silence", so he entrusted him with the important task of fighting in all directions on his behalf.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang said in his reminiscences that Xu Da "used to be concise in his words and thoughtful in his words, but when he raised troops, his orders were consistent." This shows that his cultivation has made him a talented general.

Showing talent for the first time
In the thirteenth year of Zhizheng (1353), after joining the rebel army, Xu Da and others followed Zhu Yuanzhang to successively conquer Xintang, Sanchahe, and Yangquan in Hezhou, defended the Daruhuachi Camp, and captured the Xuguancang Village. Zhu Yuanzhang's tribe gained momentum. Vibrate.

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

Zhao Junyong and Peng Da, who occupied Xuzhou (now part of Jiangsu), were defeated and defected to Haozhou.

Soon, Zhao Junyong and Peng Da became kings, and Guo Zixing was controlled by them and was almost killed.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was difficult to achieve great things in Haozhou, so in the autumn of the 1354th year of Zhizheng (), he led Xu Da, Tang He and other people (see the entry Huaixi Twenty-four Generals) to leave Haozhou and march south to Ding. Far away, Chuzhou was captured.

In the process, Xu Da charged into battle and showed his courage.

In February of the fifteenth year of Zhizheng (1355), due to the lack of food and grass in Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to capture Hezhou (now Hexian, Anhui) in order to raise military supplies.

Xu Da led his army first and captured Hezhou together with Zhang Tianyou and Tang He. Xu Da was promoted to governor for his merits in attacking Hezhou. After attacking Hezhou, Sun Deya came to Hezhou because his troops were short of food and asked Zhu Yuanzhang for funding. Zhu Yuanzhang put the overall situation first and accepted his troops regardless of previous suspicions.

After hearing this, Guo Zixing came to Hezhou to reprimand Zhu Yuanzhang. Sun Deya was worried about his own safety and wanted to sneak away secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't keep him, so he had to see him off.

About thirty miles outside the city, someone suddenly came to report that Guo Zixing had started a fight with Sun Deya who had not yet left the city. Sun Deya had been captured by Guo Zixing and detained in the city.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was shocked and wanted to ride back to the city to persuade Guo Zixing to let Sun Deya go.

Sun Deya's subordinates mistakenly thought that this was a conspiracy planned by Zhu Yuanzhang, so they kidnapped him and threatened to kill Zhu Yuanzhang to avenge his coach.

Xu Da heard in the city that Zhu Yuanzhang was being detained by Sun's subordinates and his life or death was uncertain, so he resolutely requested to replace Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage to calm the incident.

After many mediations, Sun Deya and Zhu Yuanzhang were both released by the other party, and the crisis was finally settled.

However, in this incident, Xu Da's sacrifice of his life to save others was highly praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the relationship between the two became closer.

Soon, Guo Zixing fell ill and died, and Zhu Yuanzhang became the actual leader of the rebel army.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was difficult to realize his grand plan by merely occupying Hezhou, and he had to cross the Yangtze River to develop southward, but he also suffered from the lack of ships.

While hesitating, Chaohu navy leaders Zhao Pusheng, Yu Tingyu, Yu Tonghai, Liao Yongan, Liao Yongzhong and others led their troops to surrender.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and in June of the fifteenth year of Zhizheng (1355), he sent troops to directly capture Niuzhuji (now in the Yangtze River southwest of Ma'anshan, Anhui).

Xu Da and the generals obeyed the order and marched forward to occupy Niuzhu and Caishi (now southwest of Ma'anshan, Anhui).

Yuan soldiers along the river looked at the wind and descended. Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed a plan to continue attacking surrounding prefectures and counties based on the situation, which was approved by Xu Da and others.

All the troops worked together to capture Taiping (today's Dangtu, Anhui). The Yuan army defending the city abandoned the city and fled. Yuan Wanhu Naha and others were captured.

In March of the 1356th year of Zhengzheng (), Zhu Yuanzhang personally led an army to attack Jiqing Road (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province). Xu Da was ordered to be the vanguard and led the navy and army soldiers to advance together.

Arriving at Jiangning Town, Luzhi's headquarters, he broke through the camp of Yuan general Chen Zhaoxian. Chen Zhaoxian surrendered his troops and gained more than 36,000 troops.

Ten months later, he attacked Jiqing again and defeated the Yuan soldiers in Jiangshan (now Zhongshan, Nanjing).

Fushou, the imperial censor of the Yuan Dynasty, led his troops out of the city to engage in battle, but was defeated by Xu Da and others.

Taking advantage of the victory, the army attacked the city, and General Feng Guoyong led the army into the city first.

Fu Shou died in battle, Yuan general Barbarian Hague fled to Zhang Shicheng, who ruled Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Navy Marshal Kang Maocai surrendered with more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians.

After occupying Jiqing, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Jiqing Road to Yingtianfu.
