At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the continuous diversion of the Yellow River and various natural disasters, coupled with the stimulation of various other reasons, a large-scale Red Turban uprising finally broke out.

The Longfeng regime is not some separatist local regime of the Yuan Dynasty . It is the predecessor of the orthodox Ming Dynasty.

• The name of the country in the Ming Dynasty was Daming; the source was the uprising of the Mingjiao Red Turban Army and the birth of King Ming.
• At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the continuous diversion of the Yellow River and various natural disasters, coupled with the stimulation of various other reasons, a large-scale Red Turban uprising finally broke out. At that time, there was a saying that "one eye of the stone man stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River".
• So what was the direct cause of the Red Scarf Army uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?

• html In 11351, Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty recruited 150,000 migrant workers to build the Yellow River. In fact, these migrant workers were poor people. In order to make a living, they accepted this "reform and relief" method. It's a pity that the court underestimated the local officials. Many river workers worked very hard to repair the river, but in the end they still couldn't fill their stomachs. The emperor was extravagant and extravagant, ignored government affairs, traitors were in power, the gap between the rich and the poor was too wide, officials were corrupt, conflicts among the people were prominent, and so on. Just like after an accident, the investigation and management were chaotic, training was not in place, assessment was not in place, safety facilities were not maintained, the inspection and supervision system was ineffective, and even a temporary worker was hired to take the blame. The Mongolian and Yuan Tatars belonged to the nomadic regime and did not know the importance of agriculture, coupled with the four-class system of ethnic conflicts. The destructiveness to the Han people in the Central Plains is unprecedented.

The total population of the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty exceeded 100 million. After the Mongols conquered China, the country's population was only over 20 million. In other words, the Mongolian invasion caused the abnormal death of 780 million people. This excludes the Khitan, Jurchen, Xixia and other ethnic minorities (whose population is already very small). Most of them are Han people. According to incomplete statistics, the northern provinces have lost more than 90% of their population, and the south has lost 60% of their population. In Sichuan Province alone, 20 million people were killed, and 1.2 million bones were collected in Chengdu. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, during the Hongwu period, there were still many remains that had not been buried. Without these population losses, there would not have been more than half a century of uninterrupted nationwide immigration in Hongwu Yongle.

Longfeng regime

The Red Scarf Army Uprising was a great peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty led by Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui and others. It broke out in Yingzhou in the eleventh year of Emperor Shun's reign (1351). Because the rebels wore red scarves on their heads, they were called the "Red Scarf Army", and because they burned incense and gathered people, they were also called the "Incense Army". From 1355 to 1366, Liu Futong established Han Lin'er as "King Xiao Ming" in Bozhou (now Qiaocheng District, Bozhou, Anhui), with the country name "Da Song Dynasty" and the reign name "Longfeng". Zhu Yuanzhang , who originally belonged to the Red Scarf Army, set up his own flag. In the first month of 1368, he proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, founded the Yuan Dynasty Hongwu, and the country was named Daming.

The leadership organization model of the Red Scarf Army uprising was that King Xiao Ming was the nominal leader, Xu Shouhui taught the central Hubei and Hunan areas, and finally Chen Youliang killed his boss Xu Shouhui and replaced him. They all work on their own, with the goal of destroying the Yuan Dynasty. In other places, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Sichuan, Ming Yuzhen, and Fujian, they are all landlord class warlords.

After Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army, he became active near his hometown of Haozhou. After the death of Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang led the rebel army to gradually expand the base area. Finally, they captured Nanjing, the economic, cultural, and political center of the southeastern region of the Yuan Dynasty, which was called Jiqing Road at the time. After occupying Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the prosperous southeastern region to expand his strength, recruit troops, and emerged as a rebel force that should not be underestimated in the south. Then eliminate Chen Youliang, Sunan Zhang Shicheng, and Zhejiang Dongfang Guozhen from Jiangxi and Hunan. Gradually unify the world.

Without the uprising of the Red Turban Army in the north, which subversively destroyed the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty's rule, it would be difficult for the warlords in the south to eliminate the Yuan Dynasty in the end. Zhang Shicheng was the Tu emperor who rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and united with the Yuan army to fight against the Red Turban Army in the north. Due to internal strife, the Northern Red Scarf Army was gradually weakened and defeated due to the mistakes of Liu Futong's arbitrary advance...Lao Zhu sent Liao Yongzhong to Chuzhou to pick up Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er to Yingtian, but when he was crossing the river, he secretly dug a leak in the bottom of the boat, and Xiao Ming Wang sank to the bottom of the river. Then, Zhu Yuanzhang announced that he would no longer use dragons and phoenixes to mark the year. Lao Zhu killed his immediate boss, Prince Xiao Ming. The following year, the Ming Dynasty was established and he was named emperor Hongwu.

1355~1366; the Dragon and Phoenix era names are orthodox Chinese era names, not local government era names. The appearance of the dragon and phoenix era names represents the return of the Yuan Dynasty to the north.
