Chen Youliang was originally a subordinate of Red Scarf general Ni Wenjun. In the seventeenth year of Zhengzheng (1357), Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui, the leader of the Red Turban Army, had an infighting. Ni Wenjun was killed by Chen Youliang on his way to Chen Youliang. As a result, Chen Youliang gained Xu Shouhui's trust and swallowed Ni Wenjun's people as his own. In fact, he seized the real power of the Tianwan regime established by Xu Shouhui. From
to the 20th year of Zhengzheng (1360), after Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui in Caishiji, he built Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, with strong soldiers and strong horses.
At this time, Chen Youliang dominates Jiangxi and Huguang, and is the biggest opponent of Zhu Yuanzhang who occupies Yingtian. The ambitious Chen Youliang challenged Yingtian's Zhu Yuanzhang. In the 20th year of
, after occupying Taiping in Anhui, Chen Youliang wanted to unite with another anti-yuan force, Zhang Shicheng, to jointly attack Yingtian.
Zhu Yuanzhang has a general, Kang Maocai, who is acquainted with Chen Youliang. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's design allowed Kang Mao to surrender Chen Youliang.
Kang Maocai wrote to Chen Youliang, deceiving Chen Youliang's internal response and tricking Chen Youliang into lightly entering.
Chen Youliang believed it was true and led his troops to the Jiangdong Wooden Bridge, and found that the wooden bridge had been changed to a stone bridge by Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, and Kang Maocai did not show up.
Chen Youqing knew it was not good, and led his army to retreat quickly, but it was too late. In Longwan, Kang Maocai led his troops to beat Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang suffered heavy losses and subsequently lost many places in Anqing and Jiangzhou.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's sphere of influence continues to expand, Chen Youliang's territory continues to shrink, which makes Chen Youliang very upset. From
to the twenty-third year (1363), Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 troops to attack Nanchang.
is stationed in Nanchang by Zhu Yuanzhang's generals Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu. With Zhu and Deng's insistence, Chen Youliang failed to capture Nanchang in three months.
In July of the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da led their troops to assist Nanchang. Upon hearing the news, Chen Youliang immediately relieved Nanchang and headed east out of Poyang Lake to start a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because Chen Youliang's warship is several feet high and heavy in shape, Zhu Yuanzhang's warship is small and flexible. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang used the wind direction and burned Chen Youliang's ship with fire. Chen Youliang's younger brother Chen Youren was also burned to death.
Chen Youliang was shot dead on the spot by Zhu Jun's flying arrows when he broke through after the defeat.
Because of this battle, Chen Youliang was carrying his family, and his prince Chen Shan'er and concubine Jia were also captured by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Chen Shaner was captured, there is no record of his ending in the historical records. However, what is certain is that Chen Shaner will never be a good death.
Because Chen Youliang has repeatedly challenged Zhu Yuanzhang, out of revenge against Chen Youliang, the beautiful Jah is taken by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because of Zhang Dingbian's efforts to cover, Chen Youliang's second son, Chen Li, escaped the disaster and became emperor after escaping back to Wuchang.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang chased Chen Li fiercely and personally led his troops to attack Wuchang twice in a row.
Because of Chen Li’s reinforcements, the prime minister Zhang must be captured by Chang Yuchun first, Chen Li’s general trend has gone and he has returned to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because Chen Li surrendered on his own initiative, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Chen Li in order to surrender and accept the rebellion.
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Chen Li was already older and often complained. Zhu Yuanzhang still had concerns about it.
At the suggestion of Minister Wang Guangyang, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chen Li away to Goryeo.
In addition, Ming Yuzhen's son, Guiyi Hou Mingsheng, went with Chen Li.
In Goryeo, although Chen Li was named the King of Chen, his life has been very difficult and almost unsustainable. Later, the poor and sick Chen Li died of illness in Yongle six years.
Chen Li has a son, Chen Mingshan. Since then, the descendants of the Chen family opened their branches and leaves on the peninsula.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was brought into the harem, gave birth to a son, Zhu Zi.
According to the "Sin Wei Lu" by Zha Jizuo, Zhu Zi is the posthumous son of Chen Youliang.
was named the King of Tan in Zhuzi, and when he went to the fief, his mother, Jia Shi, told the truth. Zhu Zi then planned a rebellion to avenge Chen Youliang. After Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to crusade
, Zhu Zi and his family set themselves on fire.
This is actually just a legend of wild history.
According to historical records, Zhan's was captured in 1363, and Zhu Zi was born in 1369. In other words, Chen Youliang gave birth to Zhu Zi only 6 years after his death.
Obviously, the argument that Zhu Zi is the posthumous child of Chen Youliang cannot standDeliberate.
