(Chahan Timuer image)
Chahan Timuer, whose name is translated into "white iron".
Just like his life, pure white and flawless, tough as iron.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, his name seemed to be unknown, let alone his deeds.
This gentleman was born in the first year of Zhihe, in 1328 AD. He is seven feet tall and has beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He can be said to be a natural good skin. It’s okay if you are handsome, Chahan Timur has always had great ambitions and studied poetry since childhood, so he quickly passed the exam.
Excellent characters are like cranes standing out in the crowd. They can’t meet in the vast sea of people. It is your and my luck to meet in history.
Scholars are dedicated to the world. After passing the exam, the metropolis shines on the political stage to serve the country. However, the opportunity for Chahan Timur to enter the court was not very good.
Kublai , Temujin and others are all over the world. The era of storm over the world has passed, and the light of the Golden Family on this land has also dimmed.
At that time, the court ruled the darkness, the bureaucrats were incompetent, and the peasant uprising was in full swing. At this time, the court was a mess full of holes.
(The chaotic times of the end of the Yuan Dynasty)
Yuan Dynasty royal family, senior generals and officers, basically they are either iron or pot. For example, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shundi Tuoye Temuer's name is translated, which means iron pot.
Then we can also say that Dayuan, just like the name of Emperor Shun of Yuan, has become a big iron pot full of holes.
" New Yuan History ": Spread Ru and Ying. Within a few months, all walks of life in the Jianghuai River were trapped. Chaoyan recruited troops to fight against the thieves, but he was useless.
In the past, the Mongolian cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent, but now the millions of troops of the Yuan Dynasty encircled and suppressed Red Turban Army, but they lost many times and were at a loss.
" Huangdi Neijing " says: If you don't treat the disease before you have not been cured, you won't treat the disease before you have not been cured, and if you don't treat the disease before you have not been cured, the chaos will be cured.
The meaning of this sentence means that a skilled doctor will not treat diseases that have been generated, but will treat diseases that have not yet been generated, and will not deal with the disorder that has occurred, but will start to deal with the disorder that may occur.
Yuan Dynasty has accumulated illness for a long time and cannot be cured without a dose of strong medicine. Although Chahan Timur cannot see a doctor, he is obviously very keen on dealing with the evil diseases of the Yuan Dynasty.
"New Yuan History": We have a single army, stationed in Shenqiu, and fought with the bandits, and win the victory.
Faced with such a crisis, Chahan Timur resolutely gave up entering the central government, became a free and at ease civil servant, but formed an army and began to actively encircle and suppress the Red Turban Army, and soon achieved a phased victory.
The life trajectory of the Yuan Dynasty general who abandoned his pen and joined the army can be roughly divided into three stages, namely: fighting in the Central Plains, defeating Shanxi, seizing Bianliang , and restoring Shandong.
Talents are talents, and talent is talent. If you are handsome, you will naturally be handsome.
Read through history, you will find that few people who are powerful in war are hard-working, most of them are talented.
(Song Dynasty regime)
"New Yuan History": Leading the sharp soldiers to attack the backbone, the thief was invincible and flee at night. In the Central Plains, Chahan Timur mainly targeted the rebel general Liu Futong supporting the Song Dynasty regime established by the King of Ming Han Liner . He once led more than 10,000 Yuan troops to resist the attack of Liu Futong's army's 200,000 troops, led the soldiers to bravely kill the enemy, but actually turned defeat into victory, and counterattacked with one go, chasing Liu Futong for dozens of miles.
Do you think Chahan Timur is afraid? In fact, he was also afraid, but even if he was afraid, he would go, because although he had many things he was afraid of in his life, what he was most afraid of was that he did not dare to do those things.
"New Yuan History": Restore the city, and then the counties of Datong were successively captured, and Guan Bao was sent to defeat him again.
The leader of the Red Turban Army in Shandong Mao Gui , who led his troops to the Northern Expedition, wanted to attack Huanglong and seize the Dayuan Capital, but most of the Yuan army could not resist. Only Chahan Timur set up an ambush halfway and defeated the rebel army.
"New Yuan History": Chahan Timur established Henan.
Liu Futong conquered Bianliang, Henan, and moved the capital of the Song Dynasty. Chahan Timur pursued him again and captured Bianliang in one fell swoop, dispersing the Red Turban Army under Liu Futong.
"New Yuan History": In March, the city was besieged. After
recovered Henan, Chahan Timur worked tirelessly and quickly recovered the entire Shandong except Yidu .
dare to fight, can fight, can fight, and can fight. Chahan Timur can be called a famous general of a generation.
(Red Turban Army)
In the history of the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, we often think that the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was mediocre, incompetent, and at a loss. Zhang Shicheng punched Jiangnan, Fang Guozhen kicked Zhejiang East slaughtered the two lakes, Zhu Yuanzhang swept Huaixi snail Bashu with a blink of an eye. Under this idea, beating the Yuan Dynasty is as simple as cutting a watermelon with a kitchen knife. When talking about this history, people often talk about the competition among the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan army became tool people and so on.
However, this is not the case. History is not a TV series, history is cruel.
Red Turban Army is just a peasant uprising army after all. In essence, their combat effectiveness is actually very average, and the fighting style they generally adopt is basically just a sea of people tactics.
When the matter is underway, they will be surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers, and will be suppressed by the court during the uprising. When siege the city, they will encounter tenacious resistance from the defenders. When fighting, they will also be defeated due to poor equipment and improper command.
Liu Futong During the Han Shantong Uprising, officers and soldiers searched. Han Shantong , one of the leaders of the uprising, directly received the bento. When Zhang Shicheng was entrenched in Jiangnan, he was besieged by a million-yuan army for several months, and he almost explained it.
Ming Yuzhen fought with the Yuan army and was shot in the face by a cold arrow, directly destroying his right eye.
The rest of the world, such as Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, also suffered defeats under the Yuan army.
and, in most cases, are defeats.
(Zhu Yuanzhang image)
Therefore, this unprecedented peasant uprising was far from happening as overnight.
War is cruel, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of people. Under a tragic war, it is just a number.
The war was gone, everything would change.
For several years, things in my hometown have changed. The old young girl who was old and died before she could grow up. The loving couple in the past may have turned into loess and white bones, but it is difficult to be buried together. Even the peach blossoms of the past have been frozen in the cold winter.
Just now we said that Chahan Timuer recovered the entire Shandong area except Yidu, which was in the distant Zhizheng for twenty-two years.
Yidu, which is today a small county town under Weifang, Shandong.
It is here that Chahan Timur ended his life - he was assassinated by Wang Shicheng, a general of the Red Turban Army who pretended to surrender, and was 34 years old.
A generation of famous generals died in a hurry.
The light is dark and the light is gone, creating brilliance and darkness. Seeing the general's body slowly falling down, the soldiers were a little panic.
One to defeat Luoshan, World War II Hebei, three to pacify Shaanxi, four to restore Bianliang, and five to Shandong...
All the glory was dispersed and became a spark in the sky.
Compared with those peerless famous generals who died vigorously in a great war, Chahan Timur's way of death is really a bit sad.
It turns out that when a famous general falls, he may not make a loud noise that will shock the sky all his life. Sometimes, it will be just a low sob.
The vision of reviving mountains and rivers was so awe-inspiring that day that he wanted to revive mountains and rivers would have completely withered.
At the age of thirty-four, how many wishes are still not fulfilled? How many ambitions are there to be unfulfilled?
Reading history has come to this point, and I can’t help but feel worried.
(Portrait of Yuan Shundi)
We have no way of understanding the inner ups and downs of Chahan Timuer's last moments in his life, but when Yuan Shundi learned of his death, he must have been quite collapsed.
is different from the last king in the traditional sense, such as Southern Qi Xiao Baojuan, Southern Song Zhao Ji, the difference between the Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty is that Emperor Shun of Yuan can barely be regarded as a promising king.
After the emperor came to power, he had been trying to save the Yuan Dynasty that was trapped in the abyss, and the news of Chahan Timur's death undoubtedly made him feel waves of despair.
Of course, history will not treat the last kings after that, and the Chongzhen emperors a hundred years later will also taste despair alone like Emperor Shun of Yuan at this time.
In history books, we can see a record like this:
"Gengshen Foreign Historian": The emperor heard that his death was so heartbroken. Boluo Timuer heard it and cried in Xijing , saying, "If Chahan is here, how much effort will we use!"
Yuan Shun Emperor cried loudly after learning that the famous general was killed, and could not himself. Another Yuan Dynasty general, Boluo Timuer, also shed tears for it, lamenting that Chahan Timuer's resignation, once the scene was completed, he would have to be exhausted in the future.
The grief of the emperor and his colleagues was a recognition of Chahan Timuer's military achievements. What was unexpected was that the people at that time also had a good review of Chahan Timuer.
"Gengshen Foreign Historian": When I heard that Chahan died in the Central Plains, all the women and children burst into tears.
The people in the pass heard that Chahan Timur was dead, and both women and children couldn't help but shed tears.
These tears flow for the fall of the general star, and for the birth of a chaotic world, life is like fallen leaves in the wind and duckweed in the water.
Chahan Timur, when he raised his army, there were only a few hundred people, but in just ten years, he developed to one million people, fighting in the east, fighting in the south and north. During his decades of uninterrupted combat, he almost completely eliminated the vitality of the Red Turban Army and became the greatest hope to save the Yuan Dynasty.
However, just when everything first appeared, he was killed by a rebel general and died in a hurry.
Let me ask, if this famous general survived and lived for more than ten years, would it change the fate of the Yuan Dynasty?
(Chahan Timuer Tomb site)
does not blow or black, and this result is still unknown.
Because even our Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news of Chahan Timur's death, he exclaimed like this:
" Ming Shi ": There is no one in the world! The meaning of this sentence
is that once Chahan Timur died, there would be no general in the Yuan Dynasty who could take advantage of it, and I, Zhu Yuanzhang, would no longer have any strong enemies.
has this evaluation, and Chahan Timur's life has not been in vain.
After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, the vassal state Goryeo gave birth to a poet named Li Yu . He admired Chahan Timuer's lifelong achievements and left a poem. The author Lu Du, and he hoped to use this as a conclusion:
Chahan raised his troops alone that day, and the big stars fell in the camp overnight.
Even though the achievements of ZTE have not been completed, the cypress trees in front of the temple will be green until now.
Fire is born with the wind, and the wind helps the fire. The wars from many years ago have dissipated, leaving only some sloppy words, silently telling these past events.
