In the twelfth year of Zhizheng, that is, in 1352 AD, with his No. 11 car, after a few days of long-distance off-road, the twenty-five-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Haozhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the bag on his back, looked up at the city wall in the distance, and felt very emotional.

Marshal Guo Zixing, my starling brother has defected to you!

Name: Guo Zixing;

Age: 50 years old;

Nationality: Han nationality;

Place of birth: Dingyuan, Haozhou (now Dingyuan, Anhui);

Date of birth: 1302;

Date of death: 1355

Occupation: Leader of the Red Turbans;

Major achievements: led the Red Turban uprising;

Title: King of Chuyang (posthumously sealed).

Guo Zixing was a well-known local tyrant in the Dingyuan area before the uprising, and his ancestral home was Caozhou (now Cao County, Shandong). His old man used to make a living by divination, and his daily work was to make money for big families, and to put it bluntly, he was abducted and deceived.

Specialize in this group of landlord bastards who have money and no place to spend!

Our friends who have watched "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan" generally know that all those who tell fortunes, they must have a mouth with clever words, and secondly, they must have eyes that are observant of words and colors, both of which Guo Zixing's old man should have, so he not only earned money in this business, but more importantly, he also deceived a family business, the blind daughter of a rich family in Dingyuan County couldn't get married, and his old man went to the rich family, of course, the son-in-law of the rich family, and gave birth to three sons.

Guo Zixing ranked second.

It stands to reason that a wealthy family like Guo Zixing was considered a landlord class at that time, and should not be the first to rebel.

But I don't think there's a lot of things that you can't just look at the surface.

Under the extremely corrupt class rule of the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Zixing, who had no real backing, was inevitably exploited as a landlord, and in that chaotic environment, I felt that no one except the Mongols could escape the fate of being oppressed.

Otherwise, Guo Zixing would not be a good landlord and should do this kind of business that may lose his head at any time.

So in a certain way, the two of them are the same kind of people, both of whom were forced to rebel after being oppressed by the Yuan Dynasty.

There are also differences between the two.

The difference is that Guo Zixing has his own original capital, and Guo Zixing is bold and good at making heroes.

With the thousands of family fortunes left to him by the old man, he can make a wide range of heroes, row mountains as a basis, occupy an area and claim the king, become the boss of the set, and then command the ministers to kill the world.

I never thought that I was so comfortable being the king, I wanted to kill chickens and chickens, I wanted to slaughter sheep and slaughter sheep, and the days of looking at Yuan Jun's face in the past can finally be said to say goodbye.

Now Guo Zixing has one purpose, slaughtering those bitches who used to bully their own bitches.

With the wealth in his hands, Guo Zixing quickly attracted a lot of people.

Prepare yourself for great revenge in the future!

It was in this situation that Zhu Yuanzhang came to Haozhou and began his defection career.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the soldiers guarding the city, and his eyes should have been a little hot.

Haozhou City, the lord is finally here!

Looking at the two rows of soldiers standing in front of the door, although they were not very burly but extremely powerful, Zhu Yuanzhang was foaming on his lips and his eyes were shining.

In the future, Ye will also be a part of it.

Okay, since you're here, there's nothing to hesitate about, let's go to the city, find my brother Tang He, get an errand under him, and eat first.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was good, but when he was about to enter the city, a group of people stopped him.

When the defenders of the city saw an ugly and hateful monk in a long robe and a shabby wooden fish in his hand, the first thing they thought was that this ugly bastard was a spy sent by the enemy.

This is also something that can't be helped, because when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to take refuge in Guo Zixing, he happened to encounter the Yuan army besieging Guo Zixing, and when the two armies faced each other, the indescribable tense atmosphere was tense if it was not good, and in this case, what fool would come to take refuge in Guo Jun on the obviously weak side.

After all, the Yuan army at that time was still a regular army, and these miscellaneous armies led by Guo Zixing were simply a group of rabble, and they could break up at any time.

The situation between friend and foe is clear at a glance.

At this time, a monk will take refuge in himself, and no one will believe it.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's cheeks, which looked discordant at the top and asymmetrical at the bottom, resembling a pig's waist and more like a shoehorn, the first thing they thought of was that this deflated san must be a spy sent by the enemy, and the purpose was to spy on the military situation and test our bottom line.

Several soldiers exchanged glances, as if they understood each other's thoughts, and then rushed up, tied the starling into zongzi without saying anything, and then sent someone to inform Guo Zixing, telling him to catch a spy and try to ask for some reward.

Catching an enemy spy at the point of armed confrontation between the enemy and us is obviously advantageous for your own side.

Because killing him can not only sacrifice the flag to improve your own morale, but also use it to strike a blow to the enemy's arrogance, on the other hand, you can also get a few rewards in front of the marshal, killing several birds with one stone.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't think so.

He would not have thought that he would be kind enough to join the rebels, but now the rebels have not been done, and they have been tied up into zongzi, become traitors, and are about to be beheaded.

This business is really a big loss.

Zhu Yuanzhang must have regretted it at this time, all of this was caused by the soup and this bastard, he was originally a good monk, and he didn't worry about food, clothing, and sleep.

It was a very comfortable life.

It's all because of your letter that I didn't have to do it, and now I don't even have to do it.

Yaya, Tang He, I will definitely give you a good look when I become a ghost.

At this time, Guo Zixing was also in distress, the Yuan army besieged the city for many days, and it was okay to spend money on his own family, and he was a complete layman for the exquisite business of fighting.

He didn't know anything about it, he looked at the group of Yuan soldiers bastards outside the city who couldn't drive away and couldn't disperse, his head was wooden, his hands and feet were numb, and he had no feasible countermeasures at all.

At this time, he heard someone say that he had caught a spy, and the ghost knew which nerve he had taken wrong, so he ran out wearing stars and armor, and looked at the bald monk who was tied up into a dumpling by everyone.

Just look at his ugly appearance, tall, round head and big ears, like a wild boar waiting to pluck and scald.

Guo Zixing looked at the bald head in front of him like a wild boar with interest, he had never seen a spy or dressed as a monk, and he asked Zhu Yuanzhang about his specific intentions.

At this time, Zhu Chongba was like holding a life-saving straw, telling his own experience and Tang He's affairs and telling them, and then called someone to invite Tang He to confront him face to face, so that the misunderstanding was eliminated and he was hurriedly untied.

"It turned out to be my own person, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

"Brother, I'm sorry, I made you suffer, I almost cut you, I'm really sorry!"

"It's okay, who made me born with a face sorry for the audience!"

"Well, your face is indeed worthy of you!"

In view of Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, Guo Zixing personally ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to approve his enlistment.

After this toss, Zhu Yuanzhang finally became a soldier.

The real ambition has just begun.

……

Zhu Chongba is now a soldier, his rank is not big, at most he is a big soldier, that is, a complete recruit.

But in any case, it can be regarded as his wish.

He was led to the squad leader, stripped off the shabby robe on his body, put on the clothes of the Red Turban Army, and put on a red scarf, except for the photoelectric brain like a light bulb, the rest was no different from others.

went to the barracks and received a large knife that was barely in hand, and began to practice.

When Zhu Chongba used to be a monk, although his main job every day was to chant scriptures, he should have also stolen some fist and foot kung fu from the temple elders, such as Arhat Boxing Dharma Palm!

At the same time, it is also possible to steal a few big characters when the temple is bored, after all, where the scriptures are thrown, whether to read or not to read is all voluntary, anyway, don't look at it in vain, don't look at it in vain, why don't you do it if you don't want money anyway!

And after traveling outside for a few years, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as having seen the world, although he looks ugly, but fortunately, he is smart, compared to other pure red turban troops, he naturally has more scheming, and he is generous, not stingy with money (obviously an act with a purpose, after becoming the emperor later, the starling brother is notoriously stingy), and soon won unanimous praise from the team members.

Since becoming Guo Zixing's big soldier, Zhu Chongba's talent has quickly shown, since he was a child, his command ability and three years of experience in asking for food have taught him how to coordinate the relationship between people, and he can easily see the mood of the other party, and know how to see people, talk about people, and talk nonsense.

These are really easy for Zhu Chongba.

He went out of the city several times to inquire about the news, because he had many plans, was decisive, calm, knew how to adapt to changes, and came down again and again, without losing a single soldier or general, and also caught a lot of good things.

It didn't take long for him to establish his prestige in his own ranks.

Gradually, many things in the team were handed over to him, and many important tasks were also handed over to him.

One day two months later, perhaps marshal Guo Zixing was in a happy mood, and he made a rare inspection of the troops, and when he passed by Zhu Chongba's barracks, he saw the whole team saluting the marshal in a neat line, with uniform movements and neat and capable clothes.

Where did Guo Zixing, who was born in a reckless background, see such a situation, and was instantly overjoyed, so he asked who led the soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and replied that it was himself.

Guo Zixing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, and remembered that he was a monk he saw at the city gate two months ago.

Guo Zixing was excited, and immediately announced that Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to the ninth commander and transferred to the Shuaifu as an errand boy.

Since then, Zhu Chongba has been saddled in Guo Zixing's marshal mansion, and everything has gone smoothly. With his bravery, resourcefulness, courage and knowledge, he has made a lot of contributions, and he has been more and more appreciated by Guo Zixing.

It was at this time that Zhu Chongba made a major decision.

He decided to change his name, discarding the former Chongba and changing his name to Yuanzhang.

Zhang, a kind of jade in ancient times, was mostly used as a token when sending troops.

Premier Zhou once said: Reading for the rise of China,

Here we can understand that Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, and changing this name has his own intentions.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition has been revealed, his goal is by no means the gain or loss of one city and one pool, his fundamental goal is the Yuan Dynasty, overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and avenge his parents, this is his lifelong wish, and now is the time to complete this mission.

Yuan Dynasty, wait, I'm Zhu Yuanzhang here!
