Soon after Chang Yuchun defected to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, an earth-shattering event occurred in Huaixi.

The cause of this major event originated from a person, and this person's name was: Han Lin'er.

Han Lin'er, the son of Han Shantong, who was the first to preach the teachings of the White Lotus Sect in Anhui, publicized the birth of Maitreya, the birth of King Ming, and organized the militia to rebel.

Han Shantong, together with Liu Futong and others, pretended to take the opportunity of the Yuan Dynasty to forcibly recruit 150,000 people to repair the Yellow River, spread the slogan "Stone man has one eye, provoke the Yellow River to rebel in the world", and falsely claimed that he was the eighth grandson of Song Huizong, and then organized a rebellion against the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty.

It's just unfortunate that Han Shantong was in the rebellion stall because of his fat and thick body, thin hair and short legs, when he was playing tortoise and rabbit racing with the Yuan army, his feet failed to keep up with the pace of the fleeing army, and under the violent suppression of the Yuan army, he was captured alive on the spot, and then he was beheaded and beheaded by a knife, and the corpse was on the street.

As his old man was beheaded, Han Lin'er, as a son, fully inherited his old man's rebellious gene, and on the way to escape with his mother, he teamed up with Liu Futong and others to win over the rebels, and then gathered heavy troops to capture Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui), and then used Yingzhou as a base to gather contacts step by step and seek greater development.

In the spring of the fifteenth year of Zheng, that is, in 1355 AD, Liu Futong and others captured Bozhou (now Bozhou, Anhui), and then took Bozhou as the capital and established a political regime, and the information of the regime is as follows:

Emperor: Han Lin'er;

Alias: Xiao Ming Wang;

Country name: Great Song Dynasty;

Era name: Dragon and Phoenix.

Founded in: 1355;

Perished: 1366;

Total survival time: 12 years.

Later generations also called this period of regime: the Dragon and Phoenix Regime.

Many people say that the name Han Lin'er is not easy to remember, so let me talk about another well-known figure, many scholars believe that this person's experience is a copy of Han Lin'er, that is, the prototype of Han Lin'er, his name is: Zhang Wuji (the protagonist of Mr. Jin Yong's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer").

After the establishment of the dragon and phoenix regime, Han Lin'er's position was not very stable, under the dual threat of a strong minister (Liu Futong) inside and a strong army outside, Han Lin'er has been playing a puppet-like role and being at the mercy of others. The political power of the dragon and phoenix regime is also constantly changing, and it is difficult to develop among the enemy's strength and weakness, and the enemy's weakness and strength.

Until June of the eighteenth year of Zhizheng (1357), after the bandit leader Liu Futong led his army into Bianliang (now Kaifeng Mansion, Henan), Liu Futong welcomed Emperor Han Lin'er into the city, and then changed the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to Bianliang.

Conquering Bianliang is definitely not a trivial matter, you must know that in that era of mixed dragons and snakes, any king and eight calves wanted to take the lead in capturing this place, because this was once the capital of six different dynasties.

There are deep-rooted dragon veins here.

Whoever captures this place first will be able to rule the ministers and command the world.

Martial arts holy land, treasure Bianliang; Command the Red Army, don't dare to disobey.

And after three blows and three falls, Liu Futong, like a small strong, captured Bianliang under the identity of being invincible and unbeatable, which can be described as a great achievement.

It was after this news that it alarmed all directions.

Bianliang was first of all the capital of the Six Dynasties, an economic and cultural gathering place, and more importantly, Bianliang was also the capital of the Great Song Dynasty (the reign of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty). At this time, Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, rose up to fight the name of the descendants of Song Taizu, so at this time, attacking Bianliang can be said to have a great impact and far-reaching significance.

After capturing Bianliang and moving the national capital, Han Lin'er began to seal the heroes.

First of all, Liu Futong was appointed as the prime minister, and the crown prince was crowned Taibao.

Later, he claimed to be the supreme commander of the Red Turban Army and demanded that all the Red Turban Army submit to his command, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not far from Bianliang, also received Han Lin'er's canonization documents.

Guo Tianxu, the son of Guo Zixing, was named the marshal of the capital, Guo Zixing's brother-in-law Zhang Tianyou was the right deputy marshal, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the left deputy marshal.

In ancient times, there was a convention, that is, left down and right up.

This is not so much a canonization as a recruitment.

In this Zhao'an book, Zhu Yuanzhang's identity is obviously the most humble of the three.

Those two unlucky wastes are now riding on Zhu Yuanzhang's head to shit and pee.

When he heard about this canonization appointment, the happiest people were naturally Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou.

After seeing each other's political identities from the canonization documents, the two finally got what they wanted, and after so many years of rebellion and rebellion, they finally had a justifiable title, which can be regarded as quite meritorious.

The two of them were full of potholes and ugly faces under the oblique face frame, and they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang behind them in laughter, looking at this comrade-in-arms who bullied themselves all day long and attacked him, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

That kind of look is like warning Zhu Yuanzhang: You look like a dead bald donkey, you can't be scared for a few days, you have a higher status than you now, and your position is heavier than yours, if you are rude to us in the future, beware of you!

Seeing that these two useless things are still above his identity, Zhu Yuanzhang must be angry, Han Lin'er is such a deflated calf, you dare to canonize indiscriminately and blind your dog eyes without knowing who is the real leader of this army.

Faced with this canonization, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, but more hesitant.

The hesitant question is: How can you Han Lin'er let me obey your command, uncle?

Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou are not to be afraid, I can't see you two losers, uncle, I can't see it at all, when your father-in-law was alive, you made waves and had people to protect you, but now that your father-in-law has braided his hair, uncle, I have done it as benevolent and righteous. Now you are the two grasshoppers in my hand, uncle, if the uncle is happy, ignore you, let you toss around.

If you provoke Uncle one day, hum, let you go and meet your father-in-law together!

There is no need to think about these two people, and the most difficult question now is whether to accept this edict?

If he received the edict of canonization, it would be tantamount to recognizing Han Lin'er's identity as the emperor and accepting the request of the courtiers of the Longfeng regime.

But if you don't accept it, your own army is still in the battle sequence of the Red Turban Army, and it has always been in the name of the White Lotus Sect, and directly refusing it is equivalent to not admitting that you are the Red Turban Army, which is tantamount to betraying the Red Turban Army, which is also inappropriate.

When the time comes, Han Lin'er will be annoyed, and once the fire is started and burned on himself, it will be a big deal.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said a sentence, a sentence that made me puzzled.

"Would the eldest husband rather be controlled by others?"

As a husband, how can I be constrained by others?

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but the fault is in his subsequent actions, although he expressed his position and views, but Zhu Yuanzhang unexpectedly took Han Lin'er's canonization document.

Receiving the paperwork is equivalent to accepting Han Lin'er's recruitment.

Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's answers and practices before and after, there is a problem here.

The smell in it is not normal.

I think he has his own little calculations in it.

He also has his own deep-seated intentions in accepting Han Lin'er's recruitment.

Here, we might as well think about this issue from the standpoint of Zhu Yuanzhang.

First of all, the first point is that accepting Han Lin'er's recruitment is more beneficial than disadvantageous to him, because the geographical location he was in at that time was very special, it can be said that there were strong enemies all around, and his own power was relatively weak, far from being enough to compete with others.

In this case, if you accept Han Lin'er's recruitment, if the other parties want to hack themselves, they have to estimate their own weight, after all, bullying Zhu Yuanzhang at this time is no longer a matter of simply bullying him as an army. At this time, bullying Zhu Yuanzhang again is tantamount to directly arguing with the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the consequences are very serious.

Secondly, the second point, although Zhu Yuanzhang nominally accepted Han Lin'er's recruitment, but the actual control of the army is still in his own hands, and it has not been handed over to Han Lin'er, and it does not form a substantial conflict with the development of his own army.

If one day the strength of the masters is not good, and there is a shortage of soldiers and food, you can also reach out to your Great Song Dynasty to ask for silver, soldiers and horses, and women, after all, I am still under your management now, and you have to give some silver anyway.

This is tantamount to adding a logistical supply line to itself.

The third and most important point is that Han Lin'er's recruitment this time is equivalent to indirectly reducing many hostile opponents for himself. After this recruitment, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to figure out which ones were standing on the opposite side of him, and which teams were teammates that he could use, and Han Lin'er was tantamount to telling himself the enemy's strategic distribution map.

He clearly told himself the distribution of the armies of the enemy and us.

Next, you will know how to do it.

Who to hit and who to use, you have a spectrum in your heart.

Of course, there are some drawbacks, that is, I will be controlled by others in the future, and I can no longer go wherever I want to go as before.

However, this disadvantage is nothing when you think about it.

Isn't he Han Lin'er the emperor, let him be, then the group of wolf cubs of the Yuan army will inevitably smell the fish and attack your hind cheeks, and then you will be able to worry about it, after all, the army of the Yuan Dynasty has been transferred, and the men will definitely not be so nervous.

When the time comes, I will be able to take the opportunity to recruit more troops, and when the power of the master is great in the future, whether you are a dragon and a phoenix or a king, all of them will be fucked out of the uncle.

After the master has military power and power, I am the uncle when my waist is stiff.

Ye is the emperor.

You Han Lin'er, what should you do, why do you want to go.

When the time comes, you will dig a cool one for you, and you will stay obediently for you, and you don't have to come out in this life.

Otherwise, I'll mess with you, uncle, I'll let you walk around without eating!

It is under this interpretation that Zhu Yuanzhang's inconsistent approach can be reasonably explained.

This can also explain why Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been smart and independent, is willing to submit to a gentleman, a puppet emperor at the mercy of others.

For the later Zhu Yuanzhang's unprofitable character, this can really be explained clearly.

Well, now that you belong and your first windshield is in place, it's time to implement the next step.

Hezhou is too small for this place.

I can't accommodate my hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

What's more, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of the masters can't just sit like this, rather than letting them waste food and turn them into dung machines, it is better to pull them out and practice.

A city is conquered, and a city is conquered.

In that case, don't be idle.

Let's move on.

Next target: Jiqing (present-day Nanjing).
