After conquering Pingjiang, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded meritorious deeds, named Li Shanchang as the Duke of Xuanguo, Xu Da as the Duke of Xinguo, Chang Yuchun as the Duke of Hubei, and the rest of the soldiers had their own rewards. Of course, he did not forget to reward himself, and this time he planned to crown himself emperor.

For this he needs a greater victory to present for the birth of the new dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the troops to sweep the country in four ways, Tang He for the general to conquer Fang Guozhen, Xu Da for the general to conquer the general, Chang Yuchun deputy, led 250,000 people to the north to the Central Plains, Hu Tingrui for the general of the south, He Wenhui for the deputy general, take Fujian Chen Youding, Huguang Province Pingzhang Yang Jing, Zuo Cheng Zhou Dexing, and Zhang Bin for political participation in Guangxi.

Three of the four roads of the army pointed to the south, Fang Guozhen bore the brunt, Fang Guozhen was a native of Huangyan, Zhejiang, he and Zhang Shicheng had many similarities, both of them had sold salt, Zhang Shicheng was a boat transporting salt, and Fang Guozhen was selling salt floating in the sea; both of them killed people because of passion, Zhang Shicheng was bullied and repaid, and Fang Guozhen was falsely accused of colluding with pirates; both of them had the help of brothers, Zhang Shicheng had Shixin and Shide, and Fang Guozhen had Guozhang, Guoying, and Guomin, and Chen Youliang also had similarities with them.

After the uprising, both of them obstructed the trough transportation of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng obstructed the river transportation, and Fang Shizhen obstructed the shipping of the sea; neither of them belonged to the Red Turban Army system and did not have a strong anti-Yuan consciousness, so they had no ambitions and were satisfied with separating one side; in order to protect themselves, both of them had nominally surrendered to the Yuan court and supplied a certain amount of grain to the Yuan capital through Cao Yun.

Fang Guozhen's face is very dark, but his body is very white, and his personality is the same as his skin color. In the process of dealing with the Yuan government, he rebelled and descended, and there were many changes, and before Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng crossed the river to the south, he had at least four rebellions.

Fang Guozhen was naughty many times, but the Yuan government held up carrots to him and rarely used a stick, mainly because Fang Guozhen was good at sailing, and the Yuan army couldn't whip him. Especially after Zhang Shicheng's uprising, he was between the Yuan Court and Fang Guozhen, objectively acting as Fang Guozhen's human shield, and the court was even more out of reach of Fang Guozhen. After Zhang Shicheng blocked the river transportation, the imperial court had to ask Fang Guozhen for shipping, so he had to persuade him with kind words, and tempted him with high-ranking officials instead of violent means.

When the Yuan court seduced Fang Guozhen to surrender, his subordinates advised him not to accept the appeasement, and should take the opportunity to expand his territory and divide one side, Fang Guozhen said: "I don't have that much ambition. In the end, Fang Guozhen accepted the position of the Yuan Dynasty's Haidao Caoyun Wanhu, and was content to occupy Qingyuan, Wenzhou, Taizhou and other places in eastern Zhejiang.

Fang Guozhen benefited from Zhang Shicheng, but also suffered from his scourge, after Zhang Shicheng crossed south, Fang Guozhen bore the brunt, so when the Yuan court asked Fang Guozhen to attack Zhang Shicheng, he readily agreed and worked very hard, the two sides fought in Kunshan, Fang Guozhen won seven battles and seven victories, stopping Zhang Shicheng's footsteps to the south.

After Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang fell out, they were attacked on all sides, and in order to deal with the main enemy, Zhang Shicheng had to surrender to the Yuan court, and reached an understanding through the Yuan court and Fang Guozhen. As soon as Fang Guozhen blocked Zhang Shicheng's footsteps to the south, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand stretched out from the west, and after Zhu Yuanzhang captured Wuzhou, he sent an envoy Cai Yuangang to Qingyuan to seek Fang Guozhen's support.

At this time, Fang Guozhen had Chen Youding in the south, Zhang Shicheng in the north, and Zhu Yuanzhang in the west, and was surrounded by enemies on all sides. So Fang Guozhen sent an envoy to pay a tribute of 50 catties of gold, 100 catties of silver, and 100 horses of silk to show obedience, and then pretended to be willing to sacrifice the three counties of Wen, Taiwan, and Qingyuan, and asked to send his second son Fang Guan to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp as a hostage.

However, his invitation to Xiansanjun only stayed in words and did not put it into practice, and sent his second son Fang Guan as a hostage, just to spy on Zhu Yuanzhang's strength. Zhu Yuanzhang saw through Fang Guozhen's tricks, he refused to accept hostages, and named Fang Guozhen as the Pingzhang of Fujian Province, and wanted to transfer him out of the base, but Fang Guozhen said that he was sick and refused Zhu Yuanzhang's appointment, Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with this, and wrote twice to criticize.

After the rebellion, Jin Huamiao carried Hu Dahai's head to Fang Guozhen, Fang Guozhen was afraid of setting fire to his body, and refused to accept it, and the two sides fought, and his younger brother Fang Guozhang was killed in battle, Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated this very much and sent someone to pay tribute. But in the second year, there was some friction between the two sides, Hu Shen broke through Ruian and marched to Wenzhou, Fang Guozhen was very afraid, asked for an annual tribute of 30,000 taels of silver, and promised that if Zhu Yuanzhang captured Zhang Shicheng's Hangzhou, he would return with the land.

Fang Guozhen instigated Zhu Yuanzhang to attack Hangzhou, but it was really a weasel to give New Year's greetings to the chickens, and he didn't have a good heart. Sandwiched between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen hopes that these two opponents will fight each other, while he will watch the situation from the sidelines, and wait until both sides are killed and injured, and then take the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng's war did not weaken each other as he expected, but presented a one-sided situation, when Zhu Yuanzhang captured Hangzhou and surrounded Pingjiang, Fang Guozhen seemed to see his doomsday, but he did not fulfill his promise, but secretly communicated with the northern Yuan general to expand Timur, and contacted each other with Chen Youding in Fujian, trying to be each other's horns, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry, he issued an ultimatum to Fang Guozhen, and asked the ATM to pay an annual tribute of 230,000 stone of grain, Fang Guozhen knew that time was running out, and he was busy building big ships all day, carrying treasures, trying to escape to the sea。

After eliminating Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang successively sent Zhu Liangzu and Tang He to lead the army to recruit Fang Guozhen, Fang Guozhen sacrificed his nirvana after the defeat - escaped into the sea, Tang He entered the sea to pursue, Fang Guozhen was cornered, had to wag his tail and beg for mercy, he sent his son Fang Mingwan to Nanjing to ask for surrender, and brought Zhu Yuanzhang a poignant letter, this letter is very low and full of human feelings, in the letter Fang Guozhen compared himself to a filial son, Zhu Yuanzhang read the strike section and said with appreciation: "Who said that Fang's subordinates have no one?" Immediately decided to allow surrender, he wrote back to Fang Guozhen and said: "I should be honest with you, not the past, and you should not doubt yourself." ”

When Fang Guozhen came to Nanjing and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang teased: "Why did you come so late?"

Fang Guozhen was ashamed, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang was planning to be the emperor, and he was in a good mood, so he not only forgave Fang Guozhen, but also awarded him the post of Zuo Cheng of Guangxi Province, but only Shilu did not take office, a few years later Fang Guozhen died in Nanjing, and his death was related to his old opponent Liu Ji.

After the elimination of the eastern national treasure of Zhejiang, Tang and the victory to attack the Yuan general Chen Youding from Fujian, Chen Youding is a native of Qingliu County, Fujian, Shen Yong, often chivalrous and righteous, has a certain prestige among the people, the late Ming Dynasty thieves and thieves, Tingzhou Governor Cai Gong'an to Qingliu County to recruit militia, Chen Youding brought a group of people to recruit, Cai Gong'an saw that he talked well, he gave him the position of inspection, Chen Youding did not disappoint Cai Gong'an, not only swept away the local bandits, but also defeated the invasion of Fujian by Huguang Jukou Chen Youliang, accumulated merit and rose to Pingzhang, Fujian Province, and gradually controlled the entire Fujian Province。

After taking control of Fujian, Chen Youding killed some disobedient local officials, and held the political, military, economic, and personnel power in his hands, but he was different from Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others, the former was only an expedient measure, Chen Youding was loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, and was militarily willing to defend Fujian for the Great Yuan, to ensure the safety of one party, and to support the central government economically.

Chen Youding is not only loyal and commendable, but also a good hand in the military, in the process of fighting with the heroes of Jiangnan, Zhu Yuanzhang has never missed, but in the battle with Chen Youding, he tasted defeat for the first time, and the general Hu Shen tried to get involved in Fujian, and was defeated and killed.

After eliminating Fang Guozhen, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops attacked Chen Youding in three ways, the generals Hu Tingmei and He Wenhui went to Shanguan from Jiangxi, Tang He and Liao Yongzhong took Fuzhou from Mingzhou Haidao, and Li Wenzhong took Jianning from Pucheng. This series of military operations is part of Zhu Yuanzhang's grand blueprint for achieving national reunification.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has flattened the heroes and it is inevitable to level South China, Chen Youding still decided to resist stubbornly, he wants to be the strongest bubble, but his people are unwilling to make senseless sacrifices, and some people have already held the attitude of knowing the times as a handsome man.

In order to cut off the idea of surrender of his subordinates, Chen Youliang directed a bloody oath drama, he held a banquet to invite the generals and staff, at the banquet Chen Youding beheaded the messenger sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to persuade him to surrender, and then poured his blood in the vat of wine and distributed it to everyone to drink, in order to show his determination to fight to the end. After drinking for thirty years, Chen Youding suddenly stood up and said sharply: "We are all deeply favored by the Yuan Dynasty, if anyone wants to surrender, I will execute him Ling Chi, and his wife and children will also be executed." ”

After completing the intimidation, Chen Youding immediately carried out military deployment, he personally rushed to Fuzhou to arrange the city defense, he ordered people to build a wall outside the city of Fuzhou, the new wall around the city of Fuzhou, every 50 steps to build a tower, very strong. As soon as the new city wall was completed, there was a battle report from the rear, Hu Tingrui's army had conquered Shanguan, so Chen Youding personally led the army back to Yanping, trying to hold the northern line and form a corner with Fuzhou.

When the sailors led by Tang He arrived at the Five Tigers Gate in Fuzhou, Yuan Ping Zhangqu led his troops to meet him, and Tang He defeated him and chased him to the city of Fuzhou. The newly built fortified city of Fuzhou did not block the attack of the Ming army, the soldiers climbed the city wall like ants, the Nantai guard saw that the situation was not good, gave up his duties and fled for his life, the Ming army attacked the city, the Yuan participated in the government Yin Keren, Xuanzheng made Duo Erma was killed, and Timur, the court of the court, killed his wife and concubine and two daughters, and set himself on fire.

Tang He took advantage of the victory to attack Yanping, Chen Youding stubbornly resisted according to the city, and made a trapped beast still fighting, but his subordinates were unwilling to act as cannon fodder for the Yuan court, the blood of the envoy and the fearsome intimidation did not work, and there were constantly some generals who surrendered to the Ming army in the name of going to war, and later whenever the generals asked to go to war, Chen Youding suspected that they wanted to go out of the city and surrender, and all refused, and there was suspicion within the team, Chen Youding killed the Xiao Yuan who wanted to surrender.

Although Chen Youding forcibly tied the soldiers to his chariot, the centrifugal force still destroyed the chariot. Soon there was a mutiny in the city, the armory caught fire, and the Ming army took the opportunity to attack the city. After saying that, he retreated into the government office, put on his official uniform and bowed to the north and committed suicide by poisoning, his subordinates not only did not work hard, but rushed to open the door to meet the Ming army.

The Ming army rushed into the government office and found that Chen Youding had not yet lost his breath, so they carried him out and escorted him to Nanjing. After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chen Youding, he counted his sins in person, Chen Youding was not convinced, and said sharply: "The country is ruined, there is only one death, there is nothing to say." So Zhu Yuanzhang put him to death, and at the same time killed Chen Hai, the son of Chen Youding, who beat gongs and drums after learning that his father was captured.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people rose up one after another, and many people raised troops to fight under the banner of protecting the territory and the people and maintaining the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, but most of them were speculative and wait-and-see, and often changed their ways for personal gain.

After Chen Youding's death, most of Fujian looked down on the wind, only Zhangzhou Ludalu Hua Chidieli Mishi Ning died unyieldingly, he put on an official uniform and went north to worship, and picked up an axe to cut off the seal, and then pulled out a saber and cut his throat and died.

Chen Youding, Bai Timur, and Dieri Mishi were all Fujian representatives who died in the Yuan Dynasty, and the people of the time were called Fujian Yousanzhong.
