Poyang Battlefield Chapter 9 Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain

After preparing in the provincial capital for several days, I set off with Qiu Yan and Huang Yueling.

For this trip, we are going to follow Chen Youliang's route, first take a train to Wuchang, then take a plane to Jinling, that is, Nanjing, and finally, I wonder if I can get a boat and follow the route that Chen Youliang marched from the Yangtze River to Poyang Lake.

The destination of this time, I discussed it with Qiu Yan before setting off, Chen Youliang's battle of Poyang Lake has several key locations, the first is Wuchang, Wuchang was Chen Youliang's sphere of influence, and he was buried in Wuchang after his death, I thought to myself that even if I can't find clues in Wuchang, I have to go to see Chen Youliang's cemetery first.

The second is Nanjing, Nanjing was called Jinling in ancient times, it is the base of Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the world, when Chen Youliang soldiers came to Jinling, lifting heavy troops to capture the city failed, presumably it took a lot of energy here.

The third is Jiujiang, Jiujiang City is located at the mouth of Poyang Lake, known as Jiangzhou in ancient times, Chen Youliang built the capital here after the uprising, and the opposite of Jiujiang is Susong County and Hukou County, these three places will be the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake connection mouth sandwiched into a T-shape, is the so-called Jingjiang estuary, Chen Youliang was defeated later, and he died in this mouth.

The last one is Hongdu, which is now Nanchang, Hongdu can be described as a watershed for Chen Youliang in his success or failure, when Chen Youliang waved 600,000 troops, besieged Hongdu for several months, but was stunned that he failed to capture this small city, but was also dragged tired and tired by the Hongdu defenders, so that Zhu Yuanzhang quietly led 200,000 troops to besiege them in Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang did not have time to reorganize the army and hurriedly withdrew.

I think Jiujiang and Nanchang are the focus of our attention in these four places, because these two places are on the edge of Poyang Lake, when Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang fought fiercely on the water surface of Poyang Lake for more than a month, I think, Huang Zongman must have stayed by Chen Youliang's side during this period.

On the way, I found that Qiu Yan's mood has not been high, and I guess it was because this trip was not to help her find the tiger bone spearhead, but to find my ancestors.

"Qiu Yan, don't think about it, let's just be a tourist, and maybe this time we will gain something!" I advised.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little worried about my uncle, this time I went to Xiangxi and came back, I found that he was much older, I really don't know if he can wait until the day I find the antidote!"

"Qiu Yan, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, the so-called wealth is life and death in heaven, your uncle has nothing to do with you becoming like this, you just need to do your best!"

"You don't know, my uncle treats me the same as my dad, after my dad died, I treated him as a dad, I really don't want to lose two dads in a row!"

"Hey, don't worry, God has eyes, your family hasn't robbed a tomb for nearly a hundred years, and you have done so much charity, God is watching it, we will definitely gain something!" I gently touched Qiu Yan's back and persuaded.

Different from the depth of the two of us, as soon as Huang Yueling got on the train, she was like a doping, and she leaned on the window for a while to let us see this, and then let us look at that, as if she was taking the train for the first time.

"Yue Ling'er, you haven't been on a train, have you?" As soon as I came up, I wanted to quarrel with Huang Yueling.

"What if you haven't sat on it? Do you sit a lot? Is it great to ride the train? ”

"It's not a big deal to have been on a train, but it's great to not be on a train in this era!"

"You know what! Grandma said that walking is good for your health, and you want to take the car if you have nothing to do! ”

I'm completely stupid, it makes sense to say that in a car, but it's a train!

"Yue Ling'er, the train is not as good as a car, you and your grandmother even use such a long distance?"

"Hehe, I can't think of it! I've walked as far as my grandmother for a month, and I've been walking while looking at the scenery, not to mention how beautiful it is! ”

"Cut, still beautiful? Didn't tire you out! ”

"That's how I came with my grandmother since I was a child, what's so tiring about it?"

"I said Yue Ling'er, you just listen to your grandmother like this? She asked you to go for a month, and you went for a month? What if she lets you die? "The more I talk to Huang Yueling, the more I don't have to open the door, I regret it as soon as I say this, Qiu Yan probably thinks I'm too reckless, and smacked me on the arm with an elbow.

But before I could retract this sentence, I saw Huang Yueling crying and mourning.

After being in contact with Huang Yueling for so long, I always thought that she only had two states, one was a heartless silly musician, and the other was a rampage of the little steel cannon, this time she seemed to be about to cry, which really surprised me.

"No, Yue Ling'er, I'm kidding, don't take it seriously, my grandmother is so good to you, how can I let you die?"

Huang Yueling lowered her head, her eyes turned red as she watched.

"Grandma is my lifesaver, without grandma, there would be no me, let alone my life, even if grandma asked me to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I would not hesitate."

"Oh, Yue Ling'er, cousin? I'm really kidding, why are you so serious? Now this society does not advocate this way of repaying your kindness, you know? You can stay with your grandmother and take good care of her, even if your grandmother didn't save you in vain! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Huang Yueling stood up with a "brush", and I saw the pear blossoms on her face with tears, and she really cried.

"What aunt? Who's your cousin? If you don't understand anything, you're a big fool! Huang Yueling pointed at my nose and scolded, causing the people in the train to turn around frequently, and I was completely frightened.

Huang Yueling ran to the toilet angrily after scolding, and Qiu Yan and I were stunned, and we had to explain to the people around us that we knew each other, and it was just a little misunderstanding just now.

To be honest, I thought Qiu Yan had a very bad temper, and she got angry when she was in a hurry, I heard that beautiful women would have a little temper more or less, so I could bear Qiu Yan and bear it, but Huang Yueling's appearance was really much beyond my expectations, I kept thinking back to the conversation with Huang Yueling just now, but I couldn't figure it out, even if what I said just now was a bit excessive, I didn't need to be so angry, right?

"Qiu Yan, was I too much just now?" I turned my head to Qiu Yan and asked.

Qiu Yan also had a confused expression, she nodded: "It's a bit excessive!" ”

"But I apologize, does she need to be so angry?"

"Maybe~~~~ Maybe she has something to hide!"

Catch? This girl usually doesn't have four or six, or someone has to get angry with whom, what can she hide? Still crying?

I stared at the toilet for a long time, and Huang Yueling came out with a bitter face, it seemed that she had washed up, and her face was clean, but her eyes were red.

Huang Yueling lowered her head and returned to her seat, and turned her head out of the window without saying a word.

I didn't know what to say if I wanted to apologize, for fear that I didn't say the right thing and would make her angry, so the three of us sat at the terminal in silence.

After finding a hotel, I found that it was still early, so I took Qiu Yan to the Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge.

Chen Youliang's tomb is on the edge of the approach bridge of the Yangtze River Bridge, and anyone can visit it at any time.

As the saying goes, heroes are not judged by success or failure, Chen Youliang was able to lead an uprising against the Yuan Court, which is enough to show that he is not an ordinary person, and later he conquered the city, established the country, and became the overlord of one party, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes.

But the saying is a saying after all, the winner and the loser have always been the eternal rules of history, and the overlord of the famous party back then has now fallen into such a cemetery, which really makes people sad in vain.

"Zimu, do you know that Chen Youliang's descendants were later sent to the Korean Peninsula by Zhu Yuanzhang, maybe many Koreans are Chen Youliang's descendants now!" Qiu Yan looked at the tombstone and said to me thoughtfully.

"Hehe, even if this Ming Taizu is still merciful and didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, however, he may be afraid that the Chen family will make a comeback!"

"That's right, the history books say that after Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chen Youliang's son to Goryeo, he also instructed the king of Goryeo to treat him well, I think it is actually to let the king of Goryeo look at him, to put it bluntly, it is house arrest!"

"So, history is always written by the winner, he won, so you can write how you like, in fact, what happened back then, people now don't know at all."

Chen Youliang's cemetery is not big, but there are many visitors, and Qiu Yan and I walked out of the crowd while chatting.

After that, we stayed in Wuchang for a few days and visited everywhere, but the people here didn't seem to be very interested in Chen Youliang, and they couldn't say anything other than Chen Youliang's grave was here.

I thought to myself that this is not the main battlefield after all, so nothing big happened, and if you want to understand what happened back then, it seems that you have to go to Poyang Lake.

After visiting Wuchang, we went to Nanjing.

Huang Yueling has recovered her mood in the past few days, and she began to quarrel with me again, but when she got on the plane, she was not as excited as before, and I only knew when I asked that she still often sat on the plane, because the people who visited her grandmother were now distributed all over the world, and when she needed to deal with some things, she took the plane in order to be in a hurry.

"There's still something to deal with, you girl, what can you deal with?" I quipped.

"Nephew, I'm your cousin, you have to call me aunt, why can't you remember?" Huang Yueling seemed to have selective amnesia, forgot all about what happened on the train, and said to me, "Let me tell you, grandma has shares in many companies, and these companies have to give grandma a lot of money every year, grandma doesn't want it, just let me save it first, and then donate it." ”

Huang Yueling was like a proud rooster, holding her head high and looking triumphant.

But what she said is not difficult to understand, grandma said that she and Jiang Lieyang have helped many people, and it is normal for these people to share a little share of them as a reward after they have a net worth, and I think that back then, my grandmother and Jiang Lieyang also had to earn money to support their families, and it was not impossible for them to take out their own income to partner with others to do business, so that while helping others, they did not lose money, which is too normal.

"Yue Ling'er, how much money has my grandmother saved?" I asked quietly.

Huang Yueling turned her head: "Hmph, I won't tell you!" “
