Yuan In the late years of Emperor Shun, political corruption, serious corruption, and years of natural disasters, the people of the people had to raise troops to rebel in order to survive. For a time, the entire country fell into turmoil. Among the many rebel troops, the Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui, was the most powerful.
According to historical records, in October 1351, Xu Shouhui established the day-to-day regime in Qishui . However, in the 9th year of the establishment of the regime, Xu Shouhui died bizarrely at the hands of his subordinates Chen Youliang .
Before his death, Xu Shouhui asked Chen Youliang to bypass him, but the latter did not agree. So, what kind of story happened? Let’s talk about it today.
Red Turban Army and Xu Shouhui
If you want to understand this bizarre thing, everything has to start with the Red Turban Army uprising! In 1351 AD, the Central Plains suddenly encountered heavy rain. The heavy rains for dozens of days have caused the banks of the Yellow River to rise.
It is not surprising that the Central Plains began to flood again. In order to control the water, the Yuan Dynasty government urgently summoned tens of thousands of people to repair the river embankment, but it did not improve the hardship of the people.
It was also during this time of building the river embankment that Han Shantong used White Lotus Sect as a link to shout the slogan " Maitreya was born, and Mingwang was born." This sentence completely ignited the flames of armed resistance to the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.
It is also in this context that a general named Xu Shouhui stood out among the numerous uprising troops with his intelligence. In August of the same year, Xu Shouhui, influenced by the thoughts of the Red Turban Army, held a gathering ceremony at Duoyun Villa on Dabie Mountains .
Tens of thousands of rebels under him began to attack Luotian County County. A few days later, Luotian County was defeated. Since then, the Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui has also had a decent base camp.
The extremely glorious Yuan Dynasty is about to fall, but Xu Shouhui's power is booming, and countless people choose to join it.
As time goes by, Xu Shouhui's team, which had only tens of thousands of people at the beginning, suddenly became a huge team that gathered hundreds of thousands of people. Logically speaking, no matter how you look at the rebel army, it is a good thing. Since it is to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty by force, the stronger the strength, the better the results will be.
However, Xu Shouhui is not a handsome man with the ability to command such a large team. Although the Red Turban Army seems to be huge, it is actually in its own right. It is precisely because of this internal structure that a rebellion that no one expected occurred.
At that time, in Xu Shouhui's team, there was a general named Ni Wenjun . Although this person was only a fisherman and had not received education before the uprising, he had very outstanding military talents.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ni Wenjun's contribution was the greatest to Xu Shouhuizhi's ability to finally establish the Tianwan regime from a commoner born in a commoner and call himself the emperor. When the Tianwan regime was established, Ni Wenjun was also enthroned as prime minister, second only to Xu Shouhui. After the establishment of the regime, Ni Wenjun led the army of the Tianwan regime to conquer everywhere, and Mianyang , Wuchang and Xiangyang were all occupied. As the Tianwan regime grew gradually, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty could no longer sit still.
Since the military conquest cannot defeat Ni Wenjun, please recruit you. Countless gold, silver, jewelry and beauties were sent to Ni Wenjun's mansion. The officials sent by the Yuan Dynasty to negotiate moved Ni Wenjun with their position as Pingzhang in Huguang Province.
The extremely confused emperor
In September 1357 AD, Ni Wenjun took the opportunity of reporting his duties and led thousands of soldiers to the capital. Since he had not received much education, Ni Wenjun's view of the rebellion was too simple.
He thought that with his reputation in the army, it would be easy to replace Xu Shouhui, but the direction of the matter was much beyond his expectations. Shortly after arriving at the capital, Xu Shouhui ordered people to detain all Ni Wenjun's soldiers.
The matter has come to this point, and even a fool can see that Ni Wenjun's rebellion must have leaked the news in advance. It turned out that the so-called rebellion of the Yuan Dynasty was actually a trick of killing two birds with one stone.
Ni Wenjun escaped from the capital overnight and fled to Huangzhou by chance. Huangzhou belongs to Chen Youliang's place, and Chen Youliang is a general brought out by Ni Wenjun. The reason why the latter chose to escape here was that he hoped to make a comeback with Chen Youliang's troops.
At first, things were indeed as Ni Wenjun expected. As soon as he arrived in Huangzhou, he was warmly entertained by Chen Youliang. During the banquet, Chen Youliang even cried and said to Ni Wenjun: "
Where is Xu Shouhui qualified to be the emperor? His position should be General Ni. Now that the general wants to take his position back, his subordinates will definitely help him."
Chapter 0 As for this, Ni Wenjun was naturally satisfied with Chen Youliang, but what he didn't expect was that it was his most proud disciple who suddenly raised the butcher knife to his head after the banquet.
Even Ni Wenjun's neck was given as a gift to Xu Shouhui's palace. With such achievements as the stepping stone, Chen Youliang successfully transformed from a young general to the number one hero in supporting the country.
In order to commend Chen Youliang's achievements, Xu Shouhui named him Prime Minister General and the National Military Affairs. It has to be said that Xu Shouhui really does not understand the truth that one can learn from one's mistakes, and he did not really learn from his lessons in Ni Wenjun's rebellion.
If the power of the court was firmly held by Xu Shouhui, what ability would Ni Wenjun dare to rebel? Now he has given power to Chen Youliang again, and this unwise move eventually brought him a life-threatening disaster.
Under the leadership of the new Prime Minister Chen Youliang, Tianwan's army was invincible. In a few years, it occupied Anqing , Longxing, Ruizhou and other places. Most of the territory south of the Yangtze River has become the territory of the Tianwan Dynasty.
Putting aside personal moral standards, Chen Youliang could have rarely had any rivals at that time when he talked about his ability to lead troops. In battles of all sizes, he was brave and resourceful, and even led by example every time he fought, and his prestige in the army increased day by day.
As time goes by, many soldiers only know General Chen but not Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui. In 1360 AD, Xu Shouhui insisted on moving the capital to Longxing despite the opposition of his ministers. Among these opponents, Chen Youliang was the figure.
Chen Youliang rebelled, Xu Shouhui ended
Perhaps in Xu Shouhui's view, the current Tianwan regime has expanded its territory and strength hundreds of times compared to when it was just established. It was a smooth matter to move the capital to the richer Longxing, and he is the emperor, and the ministers have no right to object.
However, this matter has changed a little bit in Chen Youliang's opinion. Since he became prime minister, the power of the entire Tianwan regime has been firmly held in his hands. Tianwan Chao is sooner or later, it is his own pocket.
Nowadays, the puppet emperor Xu Shouhui wants to move the capital regardless of his own objection, which is unbearable. When Xu Shouhui's team moved the capital to Chen Youliang's headquarters, Jiangzhou , Jiangzhou , Chen Youliang ordered people to ambush outside the city. When Xu Shouhui's team entered Jiangzhou City, he immediately closed the door.
According to historical records at that time, after the city defense gate of Jiangzhou City was closed, Xu Shouhui's face changed drastically. Countless soldiers surrounded his regiment. Xu Shouhui knelt down on the ground and cried, "Chun Aiqing, what do you mean? I can give you whatever you want. If it really doesn't work, you will be the emperor." Things have developed to this point, and there is no room for a step back.
Chen Youliang snorted coldly, "All this is a destiny. Emperor, you can't survive today." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Youliang took the shovel at his hand and smashed it towards Xu Shouhui's head. With a muffled sound, Xu Shouhui fell to the ground.
Since then, the Tianwan regime has completely fallen into the hands of Chen Youliang. In order to distinguish it from the previous dynasty, Chen Youliang officially changed Tianwan to "Dahan" Chen Youliang and set his year name for "Dayi".
Looking back at his entire history of making a fortune, Chen Youliang was completely a treacherous villain. The year name was Dayi, which was really ironic. As the saying goes, "Man is doing it, God is watching it. If you do evil things, you will die by yourself." If you do too many things that are unscrupulous, Chen Youliang will eventually die under an arrow.
After Xu Shouhui's death, Chen Youliang regarded the entire Jiangnan as his own, and the war with Zhu Yuanzhang had to be put on the agenda. In 1363 AD, the invincible Chen Youliang led an army of more than 600,000 to Nanchang in a mighty manner.
At that time, the garrison in Nanchang was Zhu Yuanzhang's cousin Zhu Wenzheng . Chen Youliang mobilized such a lot of people, and many people thought that the little Zhu Wenzheng could not resist it, but he not only withstanded it, but also bought three months for Zhu Yuanzhang.
3 months later, Zhu Yuanzhang led his generals to support him, and Chen Youliang immediately led his troops to confront him. The tired army was not Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent. Chen Youliang returned in the battle of Nanchang. Chen Youliang, who was dissatisfied, made a comeback soon after, and the warships of both sides started a battle in Poyang Lake .
As soon as the war started, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops retreated step by step. Seeing the main ship where Zhu Yuanzhang was exposed to his ice front, Chen Youliang's troops rushed over.
According to later historical records, Chen Youliang thought that a major event would become an uncontrollable joy, so he walked from the cabin to the deck to see the victory of the entire army.
At this moment, an arrow shot from somewhere and directly pierced Chen Youliang's head. The invincible Emperor Chen Youliang was killed on the spot. As soon as Chen Youliang died, the troops began to flee in all directions. It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to finally defeat Chen Youliang.
Zhu Yuanzhang calmly seized the fleeting fighter plane and ordered all warships to attack with all their might. Soon after, Chen Youliang's troops were completely wiped out. It was only after defeating Chen Youliang, the enemy that Zhu Yuanzhang finally obtained the capital to compete for the Central Plains.
Many people in later generations always say that Chen Youliang has the ability, but he is completely unlucky. But if such a traitor really becomes the emperor, how much suffering the people have to go through before they can live a peaceful life.
What do you think about this?
