On the first day of March, Emperor Tianyou, King Cheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty: Zhang Shicheng, launched an offensive in the Yangtze River Delta and attacked the Mengyuan garrison in Jiangnan Province, so that the left deputy marshal of the Han and Song Dynasties: Zhu Yuanzhang, took the opportunity to personally lead the army to besiege Jiqing Road by land and water, first broke Chen Zhaoxian, who was defending Fangshan in the Mengyuan Empire, and his army was in Jiangning Town, and then defeated the Marshal of the Mengyuan Naval Army: Yu Jiangshan, and drove straight into Tianningzhou.

On March 10, the Han and Song Dynasty armies continued to attack Jinling City in the south, and Mengyuan went south to the south of the Taiwan Imperial Shi Dafu: Fushou, Shangchenglou led the army to fight, and Mengyuan Huainan Provincial Governor: Kang Maocai, resisted the invading enemy army together.

However, the Han and Song Dynasty armies used the captured heavy artillery (earthen cannons, bronze cannons) of the Mengyuan Empire to bombard the city walls, and the soldiers who used a fire gate gun and accurate cavalry shooting were used to suppress the firepower, and the rest of the army was all used to siege the city and release cloud ladders.

In such a situation of complete siege and bombardment of the city wall, the governor of Mengyuan Huainan Province saw that there was no chance of victory and led the army to surrender, opened the city gate and let the Han and Song troops enter the city, and when the left deputy marshal of Han and Song came in, he received a report from the soldiers that Meng Yuanjiang had committed suicide and martyrdom!

This made him very sad to miss a good talent, but after he got Jiqing Road, he thought that this was his first expedition and victory, and it was near the imperial capital where the Song Dynasty had gone south, so the left deputy marshal of the Han and Song Dynasty changed Jiqing Road to "Yingtianfu" and established the "Jiangnan Province".

After this matter reached the ears of King Xiaoming of the Han and Song Dynasties, he appointed the left deputy marshal as the political affairs of Pingzhang in Jiangnan Province, and was promoted to the right prime minister to posthumously present the seal.

Prime Minister Han and Song: Zhu Yuanzhang, after being stationed in Hezhou for a few months, there was a problem with the food supply. Taiping County and Wuhu, which are close to the south bank of the Yangtze River, are rich in rice, but there are no boats.

At this time, it happened that the Chaohu Water Army of the two Red Turban Army came to join and was personally handled by the right prime minister of Han and Song to do the merger.

On July 10th, after training, the first batch of Han Song Chaohu sailors, which was also the earliest sailor team of the Ming Empire, was sorted out, with a team of 3,000 people and four warships, they successfully broke through the Yuan army's blockade of the river to Hezhou.

After that, the right prime minister of the Han and Song dynasties sent the infantry horse army to board the ships of the Chaohu water army, crossed the Yangtze River from Hezhou to the other side of the quarry, and the Han and Song Yongyang went down to hundreds of households: often met the spring, led the army to rush to conquer the quarrying, and obtained a large amount of grain.

The soldiers wanted to transport the grain and booty back to Hezhou to enjoy it slowly, so the right prime minister of Han and Song Dynasty decisively ordered people to cut the ship cable, let the ship go down the river to cut off the way to retreat, and the soldiers saw that there was no way to retreat, so they conquered Taiping County in one go.

After entering Taiping County, Prime Minister Han and Song reaffirmed military discipline and strictly prohibited plunder, and if a few soldiers violated the ban, they would be immediately executed, so his army was supported by the local people.

Therefore, the right prime minister of Han and Song Dynasty set up the "Taiping Xingguo Wing Marshal Mansion" to be the marshal himself, and appointed Li Shanchang as the "Marshal's Mansion Metropolitan Affairs", so that the right prime minister of Han and Song began to have a solid base.

In the third year of the Han Song Dynasty and the seventeenth year of the Mengyuan Dynasty, in 1357 AD, the commander of the Han and Song Dynasty Commanders: Geng Bingwen, led the army to conquer Changxing County, defeated the Great Zhou Cheng King Tianyou Emperor: Zhang Shicheng, and the general of the Great Zhou Privy Council: Zhao Dahu, and also captured more than 300 warships, and captured the enemy to the Great Zhou Huzhou Road Governor: Li Fuan, and others were executed.

The right prime minister of Han and Song was very happy to set up the "Yongxing Wing Marshal Mansion" here, and promoted the head of the Han and Song Dynasty management army to the "Marshal of the General Army" and changed Changxing County to (Chang'an Prefecture), and the marshal of the Han Song Huaixing Wing Unified Army: Xu Da, was responsible for conquering Changzhou Road, and the right prime minister of Han and Song personally led the people to capture Ningguo Road.

Subsequently, the commander-in-chief of the Han and Song Dynasty Central Army: Zhao Jizu, Kejiangyin Prefecture, Han and Song Right Wing Commander Marshal: Hu Dahai, Kehui Road, Han and Song Dynasty Central Wing Generalissimo: Chang Yuchun, Kechizhou Road, Han and Song Rear Wing Commander Marshal: Miao Daheng, Keyang Road.

In the fifth year of the Han Song Dynasty and the nineteenth year of the Mengyuan Dynasty, in 1359 AD, the right prime minister of the Han and Song dynasties successively captured all parts of eastern Zhejiang, and let the generalissimo of the middle wing of the Han and Song dynasties conquer the Quzhou Road, and the marshal of the right wing of the Han and Song Dynasty commanded the Chuzhou Road.

At this time, although the right prime minister of Han and Song had 100,000 troops, he still occupied very little territory, and he was attacked on all sides! To the east and south are the Yuan army, to the southeast is the Great Zhou Cheng King Tianyou Emperor: Zhang Shicheng, and to the west is Tianwan Zhiping Emperor: Xu Shouhui, although they are both anti-Yuan forces, but the two of them are hostile to each other with the Han and Song Xiaoming kings.

However, in the north, the main force of the Red Turban Army led by King Xiaoming of Han and Song Dynasty greatly restrained the Yuan army, and the strength of Emperor Tianyu and Emperor Tianwan Zhiping of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not enough to annex the right prime minister of Han and Song, so that the right prime minister of Han and Song had a good opportunity for development.

Under the suggestion of Meng Yuan, Chizhou Lu Xuezheng: Zhu Sheng, the right prime minister of Han and Song Dynasty completed the deployment of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king", he began to solve the problem of military rations.

In order to solve the problem of grain, in addition to mobilizing the people to produce, the right prime minister of the Han and Song dynasties also decided to implement the "Tuntian Law", that is, to vigorously develop the army's tuntian, and appointed the marshal of the Han Song and Qin Huaiyi naval forces: Kang Maocai, who was responsible for building water conservancy for the "capital water battalion envoy", and assigned generals to cultivate and farm fields in various places.

Since the right prime minister of Han and Song Dynasty ordered no longer to collect (village grain) to reduce the burden of the people, but in order to accumulate grain, the right prime minister of Han and Song issued an explicit ban on alcohol, but his general Han Song right wing commander marshal: Hu Dahai, son: Hu Sanshe, but with others violated the law and forbade private brewing profits.

After this matter was known to the right prime minister of Han and Song, he ordered Hu Sanshe to be killed, but some people said that the marshal of the Han and Song right-wing unified army was attacking Shaoxing Road, hoping to put Hu Sanshe on his father's face?

However, the right prime minister of Han Song was furious, he resolutely enforced military discipline and wanted to kill Hu Sanshe by himself.

While winning the hearts and minds of the people, the right prime minister of Han and Song also continued to recruit talents, especially the intellectuals of the landlord class, and the right prime minister of Han and Song also built a special (Lixian Hall) in Yingtianfu to receive them.

These people played an important role in helping the right prime minister of the Han and Song dynasties to unify the whole country, and he also respected the Confucian scholars very much, and once summoned the Confucian scholars of the Meng Yuan Dynasty: Tang Zhongshi, and asked the Han Taizu Gao Emperor, the Han Shizu Guangwu Emperor, the Tang Taizong Zhenguanwen Emperor, the Song Taizu Kaibao Emperor, and the Yuan Shizu Zhongtongwu Emperor, the way to pacify the world, and also showed that the Han and Song Right Prime Ministers were determined to create a new imperial era.

In the seventh year of the Han Song Dynasty and the twenty-first year of Mengyuan Zhizheng on June 23, 1361, in the palace of Zhongshu Province in Dadu, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven in the twelve chapters, Emperor Huizong of Mengyuan Huizong to Zhengpu ordered the Mengyuan Henan Jiangbei Province Pingzhang political affairs and Henan Xing Privy Council affairs, Shaanxi Xingtai Imperial History Zhongcheng: Chahan Timur, convened all the generals on Luoyang Road, and agreed to attack Shandong Province, which was split under the rule of Zhongshu Province (Eastern Parallel Province, Jinan Province, Shandong Huainan Chuzhou Province, Yidu Province) and other strategic deployments.

With the Mengyuan Empire Zhongshu Province Taiyuan Road Mongolian Army out of Jingcheng County, Liaoyang Province, Lingbei Province garrison out of Handan Road, Zezhou, Luzhou garrison out of Cizhou, Huaiqing Road, Weihui Road garrison out of Huazhou Baima County, and Bianliang Road, Luoyang Road garrison water and land separation.

The Mengyuan Henan Jiangbei Province Pingzhang Governor personally led the elite empire Mengyuan Iron Cavalry to cross Mengjin County through Huaiqing Road, beating drums while marching eastward.

In July, it occupied Dongchang Road and Guanzhou.

In August, the army of Pingzhang in the southern and northern provinces of Mengyuan arrived in Yanhe County, and immediately sent his adopted son Mengyuan Juren: Kuoku Timur (Han name: Wang Baobao), Mengyuan Town Guogong: Yan Sixiao, and other generals, and gathered the head of Mengyuan Guide Road: Guanbao, Mengyuan Tubo and other roads to announce the consolation envoy: Hu Linchi, together led 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Dongping Road, and the Yuan army crossed the river by building a pontoon bridge from the East River.

At this time, the Yellow River volunteers 10,000 households: Tian Feng, led 20,000 yuan of troops to cross the river first to seize the bridge, and then Mengyuan Guide Road Governor and Mengyuan Tubo and other road consolation envoys followed behind and fought and crossed, twice defeated the Red Turban Army to occupy Changqing County, and the soldiers were under the city of Dongping Road.

However, he was sent in advance by the Yellow River volunteers Wan Hu to send his subordinate general Daming Lu Wei County to thousands of households: Cui Shiying, who fought but did not win, and failed to capture Dongping Road in advance.

However, considering that the Yellow River Volunteers had occupied Shandong Province for a long time, and most of the soldiers and civilians were dependent on him, they were worried that he would be unfavorable to the imperial court? Will rebel against the Great Yuan Mongol Empire?

So he wrote to him to explain the great truth of obedience and rebellion, when the Yellow River volunteers Wanhu was raising troops to attack Muling Pass, he sent someone back to reply, the letter wrote: "Respected Dayuan Henan Jiangbei Province Pingzhang political affairs, if you can't believe in my sincerity to join the imperial court, then I will not meet you for the time being, when he will calm the coastal cities of Shandong Province for you, it will be too late to meet you!" ”

He appointed the Yellow River Volunteer Soldier Wanhu as the vanguard of the Great Yuan Mongol Empire to follow the Yuan army eastward, forcing the sweeping king of Dongping Road: Wang Shicheng, the marshal of Dizhou: Yu Bao, the generalissimo of Dongchang Road: Yang Cheng, and others all surrendered.

After receiving this good news, the Pingzhang political affairs of the southern and southern provinces of Mengyuan, Henan, Jiangbei, and the provinces, according to the appointment edict of the imperial court, were given Tian Feng as the "Pingzhang political affairs of Shandong Province", and cheered and celebrated in the camp of the Yuan army.

In October, the government of Pingzhang in the southern and northern provinces of Mengyuan continued to send troops to recover Jinan Road, and then entered the siege of Yidu Road, but was immediately met with the generalissimo of Yidu Road: Chen Yutou, who supported the army and resisted stubbornly.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and deter the rest of the rebel Red Turban Army, the Pingzhang Political Affairs of Mengyuan Henan and Jiangbei Provinces decided to send someone to send a letter to Ying Tianfu to the right prime minister of the Han and Song dynasties: Zhu Yuanzhang, with the intention of recruiting him to return to the imperial court and rebel against the Han and Song regimes.

In November, when the generalissimo of the central wing of the Han and Song dynasties: Chang Yuchun and supported Changxing County, the general of the Emperor Tianyu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Bosheng, besieged Changxing County for more than a month, and the siege was lifted when the generalissimo of the central wing of the Han and Song dynasties came.

In February 1363, the ninth year of Longfeng of the Han Song Dynasty and the twenty-third year of the reign of Mengyuan Zhizheng, Emperor Tianyou, the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sent troops to besiege Anfeng Road, the last stronghold of King Xiaoming of the Han Song Dynasty, and forced the King of Xiaoming of the Han Song Dynasty to send a letter asking for help to the right prime minister of the Han and Song Dynasty: Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Anfeng Road is the barrier of Yingtianfu, saving Anfeng Road is to protect the safety of Yingtianfu, so the right prime minister of Han and Song did not hesitate to send troops, and led troops to cross the river to rescue Anfeng Road on March 5.

But unfortunately, on the 8th day of April, Emperor Dading of the Han Dynasty: Chen Youliang, but took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Han and Song armies to return to Anfeng Road to the emptiness of the south of the Yangtze River, and led an army of 400,000 known as 600,000 land and water troops to besiege Hongdu Road on the 11th, occupying Ji'an Road, Linjiang Road, and Wuwei Prefecture.
