Thank you to Zhuqing, the results are getting better and better, but unfortunately the update is not powerful, please forgive me!

I was supposed to take a break today, but I ended up working overtime again.

Starting tomorrow, I will pay back the chapters I owe, and add more to report to the full support of the secretary!

is the commander of the Tianxiong Army, the same is the military soul of the Tianxiong Army, and the same is the Anhui Pao Ze that was killed under the Wufeng Slope.

Some people say that Xu Daqian, Lan Yu is crazy. Xu Da slammed the horse spoon, and Lan Yu ate the small stove. Xu Da Kuanren, Lan Yu is easy to kill. Xu Da is dedicated, and Lan Yu is obscene. Xu Dashan finally pursued him, and Lan Yu was convicted and died.

Two people with very different personalities and destinies, but they are close comrades-in-arms for life, gathered under the same battle flag, stepped on the dust before and after, and achieved the reputation of being the god of war.

The young Xu Da handed over the war knife to the young Lan Yu, and the elderly Xu Da handed over the fate of the Tianxiong Army and the unfinished dream to the middle-aged Lan Yu.

Finally, in the wind and sand of the fishing sea, a silent dagger was inserted. ”

Anhui Dingyuan people blue jade. This person is complex but simple: a cold-blooded and ruthless battlefield general, a self-taught cavalry warfare expert, and a pioneer in several classic battles of the Tianxiong Army.

From a child soldier to a general, from a general to a marshal, an outstanding military strategist who was on a par with Xu Da in the fifteenth century.

It's simple, but it's more complicated: the victory battle has been a basket, and the evil things of robbing men and women have also been done.

He was arrogant enough in front of the enemy, even more arrogant in front of his colleagues, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still arrogant in front of him, and finally he was so arrogant that he was exterminated by his family, and he couldn't avoid spitting when he died.

People who like him say that he is a national hero and a pillar of the country, and those who hate him scold him as a chaotic minister and a thief, and an arrogant general.

The Tianxiong Army led by Xu Da does not take a stitch from the masses, and it is an exception to put it on Lan Yu alone.

It is often the army that does not leave an inch of grass everywhere, occupies Kaifeng, and burns the palace of the Central Plains of Mongolia with a fire.

Of course, all the treasures are robbed and then burned, Kehandan, what if I rob things and rob people?

The daughters of the Mongol princes in the city were all given to the warriors as "common wives".

Personal life is also very corrupt, there are many victories and battles, and there are more national disasters and wealth.

Legend has it that there are groups of wives and concubines in the family, and the ethnic minorities of the Han nationality can form a women's army, and they have to turn over the cards before going to bed every night.

I was happy to turn it over several times in one night, and it is said that it is more moisturizing than Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors.

Of course, killing people is even more unblinking, the ancients said: Killing is ominous, Lan Yu replied: Ominous size.

Every time he captured a city, he was busy catching traitors who had been on errands for the Mongols, and when he was caught, he was slaughtered with a knife, and he caught prisoners on the way to the march, and he was afraid that he would be a burden to go, so most of them were pulled out and cut down.

The most jaw-dropping is the Battle of Luoyang, a fleeing Mongol army was surrounded by him, the white flags were hung out, and Lan Yu waved his hand: Don't surrender, destroy on the spot.

On the way back to the court, Lan Dashuai poured two more pots of celebration wine, and actually touched the embroidery room of the captured Mongolian queen at night.

After some clouds and rain, the Mongolian queen was so humiliated that she hanged herself......

Absurd, cruel, inferior to beasts, for hundreds of years, how many moral masters shook their heads and scolded.

Beasts, plus they dare to be arrogant in front of the emperor, who can tolerate such a domineering general?

In the end, it seems that it is normal, and later generations of military enthusiasts often shouted about the self-destruction of the Great Wall, but at that time, the moral masters commented on two words: deserved.

But it was this unlucky "beast" who did a lot of good things that a moral master couldn't do.

For example, in the Battle of Hongdu, Lan Yu was ordered to lead the army to intercept the enemy's reinforcements, and on the way to the march, he happened to meet a group of refugees who helped the old and the young flee the famine.

Lan Yu immediately ordered to take out military rations to relieve the refugees, and let the people let go of their bellies to eat.

The weak question of the guards is what do we eat? Lan Yu glared: If you don't eat a meal, you can't fight?

As a result, the rations of 2,000 soldiers were exhausted by the victims, and the soldiers charged the enemy hungry and won a great victory.

Another example is the issue of discipline, they all say that the blue jade is looting, but they all forget that he robbed all the princes and nobles, and the common people never touched it, and whoever touched it would be killed.

Once, a soldier who had saved Lan Yu's life raped and slandered the people's daughter, and the angry Lan Yu scolded: Only those who are incapable bully the people's families. Dragged it out and cut it.

The establishment of the Jishan Institute is even more meritorious, Lan Yujun everywhere he went, he ordered people to search for orphans who lost their parents in the war, set up Jishan Yuan to raise **, three meals a day to eat and drink, and asked Mr. to teach reading and literacy with a lot of money.

In her spare time, Lan Yu often comes to Jishan Courtyard to inspect, and those who dare to deduct children's food are all redone, and often play with children for fun.

Every now and then, the lively cheers always ripple on Lan Yu's scarred face.

It is difficult for the children in the laughter to think that the amiable "Uncle Blue" in front of them is actually a ruthless death on the battlefield.

As for the war money, it is also worth mentioning, for many years, Lan Yu has robbed a lot, but it can be spent more.

The orphans of the dead soldiers have been provided by him for many years.

The battle of Yuerhai, which destroyed the entire Mongol Empire, before the expedition, Lan Yu ordered to check all the 150,000 soldiers, and if there were unmarried ones, they hurried to Zhang Luo to ask for a wife to marry, and the money was not enough for me to get it.

After tossing before going on the road, the deputy general Wang Bi was puzzled, and Lan Yu sighed: This battle is nine deaths, let the brothers leave a queen for the family.

Hundreds of years ago, 150,000 Han Chinese from the Central Plains invaded Mongolia in the north, followed by sandstorms, strong winds, showers, harsh grassland environment, and then water and food shortages, lost their way, and despair.

But there was no chaos, no rout, just gritted his teeth all the way to the end. Walk to the shore of the silent fisher, and then the decisive battle, no miracle.

The soldiers who followed them believed in Lan Yu, who may be cruel or desolate, but he took away a beating heart, and following his gaze, he followed an immortal soul.

Maybe he wasn't a good guy, maybe his ultimate tragedy was the retribution of evil.

But only those who have gone through the sword light and blood shadow will understand: he is a soldier and bears the military soul of the Tianxiong Army.

His sword, always pointed at the enemy's edge. The moral masters don't understand this, and they don't bother to understand it.

Therefore, the moral masters do not understand why after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this beast still asked for the Northern Expedition to Mongolia again and again, they said that this is called "inviting merit and greedy war".

They didn't understand why this beast roared in the court again and again over the pension of the dead soldiers, and they suspected that this beast was eating empty quotas.

They also don't understand why this beast likes to use its own money to help people, they say that it is to buy people's hearts, and they must want to rebel......

At the end of the old calendar in the twenty-seventh year of Zheng (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to officially ascend the throne as emperor next year, and saw that he already had seven sons. At this time, the situation was already at peace, and he was determined to officially name his sons. December 24th. Sacrifice to the Taimiao, he attributed the seven sons he gave birth to after crossing the river to the Yin virtue of his ancestors: Yang inherited the ancestors, and since the army was raised, he crossed the river and gave birth to seven sons. Today's eldest son is named Biao,...... Said Di ....... At this time, Zhu Di was already seven years old, and he had his own name like his brothers[10]. Zhu Yuanzhang not only named his sons, but also formulated the rules for naming future generations, and each branch drew up two cross generations. [11]

In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Zhu Yuanzhang set up the main court of the Great Sect, which was later called the Zongren Mansion, to take charge of the internal affairs of the imperial family. The second son Zhu Fan was appointed as the Zongren Order, the third son Zhu Li was appointed as the Left Zongzheng, and the ten-year-old Zhu Di was appointed as the Right Zongzheng. Zhu Di's court life often followed him to participate in various court meetings and rituals. In addition to this, they also have to receive an orthodox Confucian classical education. In March of the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), Zhu Di received a copy of "Zhaojianlu" from Zhu Yuanzhang. In April, I received another copy of "The Book of Ancestral Teachings". The book collects the good and bad deeds of the ancient vassal kings to educate the princes in patriarchal law. In addition, they are subject to rigorous military training. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the seven sons "should learn to work and order the inner servants to make hemp and perform Teng." All the sons go out of the city a little farther away, and they travel seventeen on horseback, and thirteen on foot. "The so-called hemp shoes are hemp shoes, and Xingteng refers to wrapping legs. This is to say, let the seven Zhu Di brothers wear bast shoes, wrap their legs, and hike outside the city like soldiers, riding horses on seven-tenths of the way and walking on three-tenths of the way. This is still very interesting for the princes who have lived in the deep palace for a long time. As they grow older, they also have to practice their martial arts skills on the martial arts arena from time to time. [12]

In the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), Zhu Di was sixteen years old and was ready to go to the fief to take up the domain. Zhu Yuanzhang felt the need to let the princes experience folk life, and Zhu Di and his brothers came to Fengyang's hometown, which is called "Zhongdu". Zhu Di lived in Fengyang for three or four years, and the folk life had a profound impact on his ideology. Zhu Di's life in Fengyang can be regarded as the internship stage of court education, and after returning to Nanjing, he will prepare to go to other places to become a vassal. [12]

On the domain of Beiping

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu (1380), Zhu Di took Beiping. The division of the kings was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang after careful consideration. He believes that an important reason for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty is that the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the emperor cannot be helped. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted all his descendants to contribute to maintain the Zhu dynasty. Each prince had a small army called a "guard," ranging from 3,000 men to 15,000 men. Nominally, the prince is not allowed to interfere in local affairs. However, in case of emergency, the prince may dispatch the garrison of the seat of the kingdom. Every time there was a military campaign, the kings had to lead their guards to go out with their troops, and those generals who were powerful on the battlefield were subject to the restraint of these young princes, even though they were great generals. Among the kings, the King of Jin and the King of Yan are the most relied on. [13]

In the first month of the twenty-third year of Hongwu (1390), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Fu Youde to be the general, and led the marquis Zhao Yong, Cao Xing, Wang Bi, Sun Ke and others to Beiping, train military horses, listen to the temperance of King Yan, and set out to conquer Mobei. The army of Shanxi was under the control of the Jin king. King Yan led Fu Youde and others out of Gubeikou, and found out that the Yuan general Naier Buhua and others were stationed in the pastor's capital, so he led his division forward. At this time, it was snowing heavily, and the generals wanted to wait for the snow to stop before marching. Zhu Di said: "When it rains and snows, I don't want to go, so I should take the snow to move quickly." "The army entered the capital, and it was only separated from the Yuan army by a sand moraine, and it was not discovered. Although he was overwhelmed by heavy troops, Zhu Di still wanted to outwit him. So he sent his general Guan Tong to the enemy camp to persuade him to surrender. Guantong and Nai'er Buhua are old acquaintances, and when the two see each other, they can't help but hug each other and cry. At this time, the Ming army was already encircling the enemy camp. The Yuan army was defeated, and Naier didn't want to flee on horseback. Guan Tong told him that this was King Yan's army and that there was no need to be afraid. So, Naier didn't spend time with Guantong to go to the Ming army camp tent to ask for surrender. King Yan set up wine to entertain him, and Naier Buhua was deeply moved, so he led all his tribes and horses, camels, cattle and sheep to surrender to the Ming army. When the good news reached Jingshi, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Those who clear the desert, Yan Wang!" Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly ordered King Yan to go on expeditions, and ordered him to control the military horses along the border, and King Yan's prestige was greatly enhanced. [13] [14]

Zhu Yuanzhang firmly believed in Buddhism, and when the kings were first sealed, they had to choose a monk for them to assist. There is a monk whose legal name is Daoyan (real name Yao Guangxiao), who is quite a strategic person. Zhu Di asked Zhu Yuanzhang for Daoyan. When Dao Yan arrived at Yan Di, he also recommended a warlock named Yuan Hui to Zhu Di. Both of them became Zhu Di's advisers. Zhu Di also tried to recruit local civil and military officials in order to cultivate his own strength. [13]

Succession disputes

Zhu Yuanzhang established his eldest son Zhu Biao as the crown prince, and with the development of time, it caused dissatisfaction among the kings, especially the kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan. They have already started a battle between them. The king of Jin went to Zhu Yuanzhang to tell King Yan that he was "working hard and adventurous", and searched for King Yan's "details in the country" day and night, "deliberately wanted to fall into King Yan", and every time King Yan entered the court, the prince "saw the invasion in words" and so on, during which the tension was very obvious. [13]

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392), the crown prince Zhu Biao died, and the kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan all watched the throne, but Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the suggestion of the scholar Liu Sanwu and established the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson, so as to prevent the kings from coveting the throne. Soon, in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu (1395), the king of Qin died. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu (1398), on the eve of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, King Jin died. Zhu Di's two powerful opponents disappeared, and he became the eldest of the kings. At this time, Zhu Di's wings were already full, not only did he have a long-term conquest and accustomed to fighting, but his authority had already exceeded the rule of "the lord does not come to the people". [13]

More than a month after the death of King Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang once gave Zhu Di an edict: "My sons are only your talents, Qin and Jin have already been killed, and you are the elder?.. Erqi commanded the kings, measured the situation, guarded the border people, answered the heart of heaven, and tried to be subsequent. [15] Undoubtedly, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had regarded Zhu Di as a pillar to maintain the Zhu dynasty, and placed great hopes on him. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was shrewd after all, and he also considered that King Yan was too powerful and posed a threat to the successor emperor, so when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, he warned: "King Yan must not worry", and issued an edict: "The kings are in the country, and they must not go to Beijing." The civil and military officials of the kingdom listened to the moderation of the imperial court", which shows this anxiety of his. [13]

It is difficult to raise troops

Yao Guangxiao

Yao Guangxiao

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu (1398), Zhu Yuanzhang died, the emperor's grandson ascended the throne, and the kings were enclosed in the country, and they did not get the Beijing master to mourn. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, went to Nanjing from Beiping, but it was stopped by Zhu Yunwen's edict. [16] Zhu Yunwen used the discussion of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to cut the domain, and in less than a year, the king of Zhou, the king of Min, the king of Xiang, the king of Qi, and the king of Dai were deposed successively.
