When Emperor Yuan Shun spewed his anger at Kuangkuo, he himself had already burned his eyebrows, and both the north and south lines were in danger.

On the southern front, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's deployment, Hu Tingrui was responsible for attacking Fujian from Jiangxi, and Yang Jing attacked Guangxi from Huguang. After eliminating Chen Youding in Fujian, Liao Yongzhong and Zhu Liangzu continued to attack Liangguang from Fujian, Lu Zhongheng, who was stationed in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, attacked Guangdong, and Yang Jing went south from Wuchang to Guangxi, forming a situation of three breads sandwiched between two Guangzhou.

He Zhen, the warlord who was in Guangzhou, quickly surrendered, and Zhu Liangzu marched west from Guangdong to cooperate with Yang Jing to attack Guangxi, Yang Jing encountered stubborn resistance in Hunan and Guangxi, and it took four months to take Yongzhou, and then marched to Jingzhou, and the two Ming armies met under the city of Jingzhou, and it took two months to take Jingzhou, and then pacified all parts of Guangxi, so far South China has all fallen into Zhu Yuanzhang's pocket.

On the northern front, Zhu Yuanzhang personally formulated a strategy for advancing the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang convened his subordinates to discuss the strategy of defeating Yuan, and said: "Now that the north is in chaos, the generals are arrogant, Yuan Zuo is about to die, and the Central Plains is in ruins.

Chang Yuchun advocated that the Black Tiger dig out his heart: "Our army has experienced a hundred battles, and their army has enjoyed peace for a long time, and our comfortable army that attacks them with a division of a hundred battles will definitely be like a bamboo, and it should go straight to Dadu." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said disapprovingly: "No, the Yuan Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, the garrison of the capital city must be solid, the lone army is deep, once the troops are under the city, the long-term attack cannot be overcome, our food and salary are difficult to transport long-distance, and the enemy's reinforcements are four sets, the situation is very unfavorable, it is better to take Shandong step by step, first take Shandong, remove its shield, and then move the troops to the Central Plains, break its fence, and then capture Tongguan, strangle its household threshold, and block the elite soldiers of Shaanxi in the pass. In this way, the world's victorious places are all in our hands, and the Yuan capital will be lonely and helpless, and it will be self-defeating without a fight. After capturing Dadu, and then marching westward, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Guanlong and other military important places can be swept down. "Then it's time for the generals to shoot their horses.

The general Xu Da and the deputy general Chang Yuchun led an army of 250,000 troops from the Huai River into the Yellow River Valley. The Ming army first pointed to Shandong, and it only took more than a month to occupy and lead Shandong, and the younger brother of Timur, who was in charge of Shandong's military expansion, fled to Henan after the defeat.

The capture of Shandong created the conditions for transporting troops from the canal to the north to capture Dadu, but Xu Da and Chang Yuchun did not immediately attack Dadu, and according to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic spirit of removing its barriers, their next step was to go west to Henan.

At this time, it was the end of the year, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to be the emperor in the New Year, in order to make way for the founding ceremony, the Ming army took a break in Shandong, and the soldiers put down their swords and guns, so as to free up their hands to applaud the birth of the new dynasty. Da Yuan is not dead, but the new dynasty is about to be born in a hurry, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is full of confidence in overthrowing Da Yuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor in Nanjing, Jianyuan Hongwu, the country name Ming, and at the same time the concubine Ma was the queen, and the prince Zhu Biao was the crown prince.

Zhu Yuanzhang had previously drawn a clear line with Mingjiao and the Red Army, slandering Mingjiao as a fallacy, and the Red Army was a demon who was encouraged by the rumors to commit heinous crimes. This country name comes from the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and it is the idea of the metaphysician Liu Ji. Ming is the meaning of light, is fire, according to the theory of yin and yang, the south is fire, is yang, the god is Zhurong, the color is red, the north is water, it belongs to yin, and the god is Xuanming, the color is black.

The new dynasty started in the south, and the previous dynasties from the north to pacify the south is just the opposite, taking the name of the country as Ming, which means to make water with fire, clear yin with yang, and overcome darkness with light. Hundreds of years later, the meaning of the Qing Dynasty is the same, but the meaning is just the opposite, using water to overcome fire.

The founding of the Emperor has greatly boosted the morale of the front, and every soldier will benefit from it, and the results of their previous efforts will be solidified, and they will be rewarded, and their future contributions will also be rewarded, so their combat effectiveness will be improved.

As soon as the bell of the first year of Hongwu rang, the Ming army went on a big and fast march and launched a military Great Leap Forward.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Deng Yu, who was stationed in Jingxiang, to lead the troops north to Nanyang, this young tiger general had been lurking in the west for some time, his work in running Chen Youliang's hometown was as good as his performance in the defense of Nanchang, now was the time to move his muscles, his army went north to western Henan and southern Shaanxi as a partial division, and the task was to complete Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic concept of eliminating the Yuan army in Henan and blocking the Yuan army in Shaanxi in Tongguan. Chang Yuchun went north to attack most of the conditions to create conditions, and he still did an excellent job, and continued to go north after conquering Nanyang.

Xu Da completed the task of cleaning up the Shandong battlefield and set off from Jining, killing to Kaifeng, Henan, after the Ming army arrived at Chenqiao, Kaifeng guard Li Keyi ordered Zuo Junbi to go out of the city to face the battle, Zuo Junbi was driven to Kaifeng by the Ming army from the nest of Luzhou not long ago, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his old mother to Kaifeng, so that he was very grateful, so he had made up his mind to surrender, refused to fight, Li Keyi had no choice but to abandon the city and escape, he just left, Zuo Junbi and another general Zhuchang dedicated Kaifeng City to the Ming army.

Xu Da continued westward towards Luoyang, and not long ago, Tuein, the brother of Kuangkuo, who had fled from Shandong to Henan, gathered 50,000 horses and horses in an attempt to fight the trapped beasts, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the north bank of Luoshui.

This battle was the first and last large-scale engagement between the two sides before the fall of the Yuan, and the soldiers of the Yuan army gritted their teeth and worked very hard, but their bravery could not change the poverty and weakness caused by the decay of the center, and they were defeated and fled after shedding blood.

In charge of the military in Henan was the father of Chahan, King Aruwen of Liang, who surrendered to the Ming army in despair after seeing the situation. At the same time, Deng Yu and Feng Sheng conquered Shaanzhou, Tongguan and other places, choked the Sanqin portal, blocked the connection between the Yuan army stationed in the Guanlong area and the Guanwai, and isolated the Yuan capital.

At the most dangerous moment, the main force of Shaanxi and Shanxi did not use their flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall, but immersed in internal strife and could not extricate themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally came to Kaifeng, which was the northernmost place he had traveled in his life, and the purpose of his trip was to encourage the soldiers who were fighting in the north, to review the fruits of his victory, and to make a gesture for the next military action. Xu Da put down the work in his hand and rushed to Kaifeng to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

After listening to the report, Zhu Yuanzhang put forward two suggestions: The terrain in the north is flat and is conducive to cavalry warfare, and it is necessary to select elite cavalry; the north is desolate everywhere, and it is necessary to make careful preparations for the supply of food and wages. Xu Da said that he would follow the implementation and asked for instructions: "If you conquer Dadu and the Yuan Lord flees north, do you want to chase after it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's better to leave him to fend for himself, you don't have to chase after him, but you must stick to the frontier and prevent him from invading." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang left Kaifeng and returned to Nanjing after issuing a series of orders to transfer troops and send generals, and before leaving, he specially told the generals that on the day of the city, he would not burn, rob, or kill, protect the civilians, and treat the Yuan clan well, otherwise he would be severely punished.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left on the front foot, Xu Da blew the horn of the charge, and he led the main force of the Henan Ming Army from Kaifeng to Hebei, and then turned east and marched towards Linqing. Linqing is an important town on the east bank of the canal, located at the junction of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, with convenient transportation in all directions, and can reach Dadu directly by land and water, which is an ideal place for meeting troops. The Ming soldiers conquered Linqing, and Xu Da ordered the Shandong Ming army to lead the horse and boat divisions to Linqing to assemble. A few days later, the Ming army was completed and marched from Linqing along the Grand Canal to the capital.

Emperor Yuan Shun seemed to see his end, and he issued an edict to attribute all the sins to the crown prince, restore and expand all official positions, and ordered him and Li Siqi to release their previous suspicions and join hands to resist the Ming army, but he had no time to wait for the rescue.

The Ming army entered the west of the Jingdong River, Guo Yingbu chased the Yuan soldiers to Tongzhou, captured the Yuan clan Liang Wang Polo, conquered Tongzhou, Emperor Yuan Shun learned that Tongzhou had fallen, panicked, and took the concubine and the prince the next night, opened the Jiande Gate and fled to Shangdu, Xu Da attacked the capital from Qihuamen, announcing the end of the Yuan Dynasty's rule.

When Chahan was alive, the Yuan army suppressed the northern rebels, and the army was at its peak for a while, and it was not only a light year away from the country? However, only six years later, the Yuan Emperor went to the grassland to herd sheep, which Chahan could not have imagined in any way. The violent demise of the Yuan Dynasty was attributed to waves of infighting, the reason for the infighting was of course that the military generals could not get rid of the tail, but Emperor Yuan Shun also bore a certain responsibility, he was not only the source of the contradictions, but also saw the wind and steered in the contradictions, and played a role in fueling the fire.

He was unfair in handling the relationship between Chahan and Luo Wei, which led to disagreement between the two generals and became the source of internal strife; he handled the internal affairs of the imperial court improperly and involved the contradictions between Luo Xiao and Kuokuo in the court struggle; when Luo Xiao led his army to threaten Dadu, he treacherously betrayed Luo Xiao's opponent in the court; when Kuokuo had an advantage, he assassinated Luo Xiao and threw him into the arms of Kuokuo; when Kuokuo had a conflict with Li Siqi and others, he abandoned Kuo without foresight; when Kuokuo's subordinates were high, When Guan Bao betrayed Kuokuo, he mistakenly thought that Kuokuo was alone, and asked Li Siqi and others to crusade against Kuokuo and force Kuo to rebel; when Kuokuo killed Gao and Guan Bao, and the Ming army forced into Dadu, and the situation was critical, he put the basin on the prince's head and restored all the official positions of Kuangkuo.

Emperor Yuan Shun's speculative and sleek personality enabled him to survive many crises, but it also caused him to lose his authority and credibility, and this time he could no longer avoid trouble with a soft figure as before.

He was willing to accept the apology of Emperor Yuan, and tried to save the Yuan Dynasty, but the situation changed too quickly, and before he could come to the rescue, most of them had already fallen, and the Yuan Dynasty collapsed in form.
