The most famous military strategist in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's in-laws, and the father-in-law of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, was an upright and caressing soldier, and a good cadre with strict military discipline.

Born as a cattle herding baby, he was a meritorious commander who laid down most of China, and was praised as the Great Wall by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

The official to the highest lord of Wei Guogong, the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Marshal Xu Da.

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion, he carefully picked up his tail and behaved in the second half of his life.

Considering his attitude every day, Lao Zhu was careful in front of him, and he was frightened and mixed up with a good death, and some people said that he was poisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang's steamed goose, although I don't know if it was correct.

But it is an indisputable fact that Xu Da was walking on thin ice in the later period.

The wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, and the glory of a hundred years falls, and the glory of standing proudly on the battlefield is easy to wither.

It is the only promise in the era of peace, which is passed on by word of mouth.

Especially the historical drama that was jokingly ridiculed by later generations was filmed, which made people believe it.

In the aroma of Chen sesame rotten millet, it is Xu Da who kowtows to Zhu Yuanzhang at every turn to call it a capital crime, Xu Da who shuddered in a cold sweat when he heard the holy decree, and Xu Da who was screaming at the steaming goose snot and tears before he died.

is no longer invincible in the world, invincible, but just a frightened and pitiful old man.

But is this really the case, under the cover of history?

Let's take a look at a few short stories.

Zhang Zuyan, a beloved general who followed Xu Da to fight for half his life, was implicated in the "Hu Lan" case and was given a big hat of "rebellion".

Zhang's wife begged everywhere, but her old comrades-in-arms were afraid of killing her, so she hid them all.

Regardless of Xu Daguan, he comforted Zhang's wife: Don't cry, Lao Zhang's business is my business, if Lao Zhang can't be saved, you are my daughter.

But "management" also has a "management" method, Xu Da does not risk death to shout grievances, and second, he does not go around the bend to say good things, but just asks for leave at home, and invites Shenhan to dance for three consecutive days.

Others asked the reason, and replied: Lao Zhang was wronged, and I overtook him.

When the words reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, the old Zhu who was rolling up his sleeves and killing people with a gloomy face was like a child, and he wrote an official document to pardon Zhang Zuyan for his innocence.

Then there is the famous "Long Rope Cavalry" in the Tianxiong Army, about 1,000 people, which was formed by Xu Da to recruit talented people who are good at juggling.

The main military skill is to use a rope to trap a person, gallop a horse, as long as it is a living thing, the rope flies to catch anything, and it is more cowboy than a cowboy in a western.

Everyone in the world is amazed, but few people know the real mission of this force - to save the wounded.

In countless life-and-death battles, this unit risked death to rush into the enemy position to rescue the wounded comrades in the siege. This is probably the earliest "field rescue team" in the history of human warfare.

The rescue team is Xu Da's treasure, but Emperor Zhu took a fancy to his treasure, and before going out, he had to transfer a few people into the palace to perform acrobatics for the concubines.

Under the holy decree, Xu Shuai, who has always listened to the command, kowtowed, but he did not accept the decree, saying that "the emperor has transferred one minister, and there are countless unjust souls on the battlefield".

In the end, the person was not transferred, and Lao Zhu was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded dirty.

This has also achieved another prestige of the Tianxiong Army: for decades, no matter the desperate situation, no matter the victory or defeat, no matter the advance or retreat, no matter the wounded comrade-in-arms has never been left behind.

Even eating is knowledgeable, it is not easy to sleep in the open on the battlefield, and most of the generals in the Ming Dynasty have their own small stoves, but Xu Da does not.

It's not that I haven't done it, but I think it's special, and I smashed it personally.

Three meals a day, strolling around with a bowl of the countryside sea, running to the soldier's pot to pick up the horse spoon together, squatting in one place while eating and playing with everyone, steaming and happy.

Once Lao Zhu came to inspect the work, and after witnessing this scene, he couldn't bear it, so he ordered the imperial chef to cook a few small dishes and send them to improve his life.

Xu Da thanked him, turned his head and ran to the cauldron, poured all the side dishes into it, and beckoned the soldiers to work together to improve their lives. The mouth kept shouting at a high octave: The emperor rewarded everyone.

To say that the most abnormal thing is married life, Xu Da has been on the battlefield all his life, but his love is like an antique, not to mention pleasing a little wife, not even a second wife.

At the age of twenty-four, he met Xie Wenying, the daughter of the famous general Xie Zaixing, in Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion, and gave each other love gifts at first sight and made a lifelong commitment.

Then the Ming media was getting married, and the couple raised their eyebrows and respected each other.

The honeymoon is not over yet, and the thunderbolt on the sunny day is smashing down. Father-in-law Xie Zaiqing surrendered to the enemy and became Lao Zhu's traitor.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was furious, cast a net to arrest people, and his daughter and son-in-law naturally couldn't escape.

Xie Wenying understood the righteousness, and in order to ensure her husband's safety, she took the initiative to draw a clear line and move out of the Xu Mansion, dressed in light food every day, and waited for the inner guards to come in and arrest people.

Waiting and waiting, but waiting for Xu Da, who came to the door and begged his wife to come home, Xie Wenying reluctantly closed the door and disappeared.

Xu Da was stubbornly scary, he didn't slam the door or shout love words, but he just stood at the door of Xie's house in a standard military posture, not eating or drinking for three days and three nights.

Finally, in the morning light, the door was gently pushed, and standing in front of Xu Da, there were his wife's red and swollen eyes, Qianqianyu's hand caressed her husband's haggard cheeks, and warm tears fell.

Of course, the line is not clear, and within a few days, the Jinyi guard in charge of suppressing the rebellion came to arrest people.

After talking for a long time, Xu Da did not argue and did not move.

When the other party said dryly, he suddenly drew a knife and cut the Taishi chair in the lobby, then chuckled, and threw a sentence hard: Whoever catches my wife, I will let him become this.

The murderous aura condensed by countless battlefield battles frightened the brocade guards to the point that their faces turned pale, and after speaking, they threw down the saber in their hands and walked away.

Jin Yiwei went back to cry, but Zhu Yuanzhang only sighed: Forget it, let him go.

In this way, the hand of the son and the son grow old together, the peaceful days have come to the era of peace, everyone is busy with three wives and four concubines, but only the Xu family and his wife are deeply affectionate and loving each other.

Helplessly, Xie Wenying died at the age of fifty, and the grieving Xu Da poured out his sorrows day by day, and finally contracted poisonous sores due to excessive drinking.

Every day, the onset of the disease is in great pain, and the frenzy is not stopped.

Every now and then, the careful old servant always cleverly handed over a thing, as long as this thing was in his hand, Xu Da immediately breathed evenly, his eyes were blank and he was silent, and his tears filled his clothes while meditating.

Then let the pain pierce the bone marrow, but always sleep peacefully.

This thing is not a panacea, but it is exactly the Jinpa that Xie Wenying gave to each other shyly when the husband and wife met for the first time thirty years ago......

If Xie Wenying had a spirit in the sky, would she laugh in this situation? If you meet someone like this in your life, what more can you ask for.

Trapped in a desperate situation, do not abandon hope. The bloody rebellion does not abandon friends. The battlefield of swords and blood shadows, do not abandon the robe brothers. A family that is close to each other does not abandon a wife.

Every footprint of life, or heroic and cloudy, vertical and horizontal, or submissive, like walking on thin ice, but the same is connected into three words of steel cast iron - do not abandon.

Is such a person a wreck?

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, this heart was finally extinguished like a burning torch, and Xu Da died of illness on the sixth day of August.

Zhu Yuanzhang cried all night when he heard the news, unable to speak, he had not seen it for decades since he ascended the throne. After the funeral, Lao Zhu, who had never taken a day off since he ascended the throne, went to the court for a month to mourn.

The nine-sided city of the Ming Dynasty is full of white flags. Posthumously recognizing the King of Zhongshan, the commendation is so, the grandeur is so, and the grief is so, Xu Da deserves it.

Let's look at Xu Da's epitaph: Conquer everything, be invincible, women have nothing to love, and there is nothing to take from treasures. The capital of wisdom and bravery, the responsibility of the pillar stone, the loyalty is flawless, and the sun and the moon are clear.

The fierce words permeated a heavy word: military soul.

Being alive is a heart, dying is a soul, the living Xu Da is the heart of the Tianxiong Army, and the dead Xu Da is the immortal soul of the Tianxiong Army.

Huaxia will be like this, it is really magnificent!

In later generations, Jiannu ruled the land of China and imposed a literary prison on Huaxia to cover up all facts.

In this way, the famous Tianxiong Army was easily erased by them. Of course, the creators and successors of the Tianxiong Army made them even more unbearable.

On the contrary, the screen is full of the invincible martial arts of the ancestors of wild boar skin, and it is even more disgusting to create what shameless nonsense of "full of people is not ten thousand, and more than ten thousand can not be defeated", rarely deceived some people who do not understand history, sad?

In addition, some people in modern times don't care much about the official history of the Ming Dynasty, but they are dedicated to drilling up "gossip", catching a steamed goose and gossiping for a long time, and gossiping out of Xu Da, who is only submissive.

It was the Japanese who were separated by a river, worshipping Xu Da as a god, touching Xu Dashuai's fur and killing him with a bayonet, and the exquisitely carved statue of Xu Dayu swaggered around on the Chinese battlefield half a century ago.

How a poor wife is not a husband, the Tao is ruthless but affectionate.

Everyone's personality is different, and their means of doing things are different.

But one thing is the same: Xu Shuai and Lan Shuai are both the military souls of the Tianxiong Army.
