Zhang Shicheng said: "Why didn't I think of it, the third brother still looks at the problem comprehensively, and everything is better than me for thirty miles." ”

Zhang Shide said: "My own brother, don't say who is strong and who is weak. ”

Zhang Shicheng said: "At present, Zhu Chongba is next to my pillow, why can he sleep peacefully?" The west and south of our army were blocked, and Zhu Chongba wanted to surround us from all sides, and then eat us step by step. ”

Zhang Shide said: "Passive defense is not a way after all, only by taking the initiative to attack and break through the encirclement can we reverse the passive situation of being beaten everywhere." ”......

Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to unite with Zhang Shicheng to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and he has always taken the initiative to show goodwill. But Zhang Shicheng didn't buy it, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to promote peace. After Zhang Shicheng was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang many times, he asked for peace, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied to Zhang Shicheng, ordering him to release the captured Ming army general Yang Xian, and only need to send 500,000 stone of grain every year. Zhang Shicheng threw the letter aside, and ignored Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, and offered to give the Ming army 200,000 stone of grain, 500 taels of gold, and 300 catties of platinum every year.

Toast without eating and drinking, Zhu Yuanzhang can't be played by Zhang Shicheng's two-faced guy like this, and at the suggestion of Liu Bowen, he decided to attack the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions where Zhang Shicheng was entrenched again.

Soon, Xu Da led his troops to capture Yixing and advanced to Changshu, Zhang Shide led his army to meet Xu Da, but he was beaten to the ground and captured alive by Zhao Desheng, the striker of the Ming army. Zhang Shide is the most capable one of Zhang Shicheng's four brothers, good at fighting, strategic, quite popular with soldiers, he fought in western Zhejiang, if there was no Zhang Shide, Zhang Shicheng, the king of Cheng, would have been finished long ago.

After Zhang Shide was captured alive, Zhang Shicheng suddenly lost an arm, whether to fight or peace, and he couldn't make up an idea for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhang Shide preferential treatment, hoping to recruit Zhang Shicheng through his persuasion. How do you know that Zhang Shide grasped the omission of Zhu Yuanzhang's guards, wrote a letter, and sent someone to secretly send it to his eldest brother Zhang Shicheng, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang will become the emperor in the future, and he will definitely kill all the heroes who laid down the country for him, and he must not take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, it is better to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, in order to cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, he is ready to commit suicide.

With the third brother's strategy, Zhang Shicheng decided to ask for surrender to the Yuan army again. Dazhi Timu pushed the boat down the river and reported the matter to the imperial court. Emperor Yuan Shun was overjoyed and immediately named Zhang Shicheng as a lieutenant, and the civil and military officials under him were all named officials according to their ranks. Although he no longer claimed to be the king, Zhang Shicheng still had the same arms and land as before, and divided the land of western Zhejiang and Huaidong, as if he were an independent kingdom.

After Zhang Shide was escorted to Jinling (Nanjing), he refused to eat, and finally starved to death, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and buried Zhang Shide. Since Zhang Shide's death, the demonic thought of murdering Yang Wanzhi has once again swayed Zhang Shicheng, and he has been getting deeper and deeper in the quagmire of revenge, unable to extricate himself.

In the seventeenth year of Zhizheng (1357), Zhu Yuanzhang led his division to attack Jiqing for the second time, and the Miao soldiers led by Huguang Pingzhang Alu Hui were stationed in Yangzhou, and the Miao soldiers were sub-commander to kill Aluhui and rebel against Yuan, and the foreign aid of Jiqing City was cut off. Yuan court guard general Fushou fought to the death, martyred in the street battle, Marshal Kang Maocai of the Navy and Marshal of the Miao Army Xun Chaozuo and other troops surrendered, Zhu Yuanzhang had to collect more than 50 thousand soldiers and civilians.

In July, under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to link Huizhou and Jiande, and Emperor Yuan Shun urgently ordered Yang Wanzhi to lead all the 200,000 Miao troops in Jiaxing to attack and recapture the land captured by the Ming army. Yang Wanzhi received the holy decree and was deeply disturbed, Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates also had the same Yang generals, knowing that they were killing each other, and they were forced by the emperor's order, so they had to divide 100,000 troops to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

Due to the disparity in strength and the inability to keep up with the logistics, the Miao army led by Yang Wanzhi went deep alone, but the nearby Zhang Shicheng and Dazhi Timu Er did not move, and the two of them had ghosts in their hearts and wanted to get rid of Yang Wanzhi by the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. Yang Wanzhi was defeated by Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Hu Dahai and other troops of the Ming army, and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and suffered heavy losses. Yang Wanzhi's defeat made Zhang Shicheng and Dazhi Timu secretly happy, and they couldn't sleep for several days in a row.

If you can't do it, you can regenerate it. In the eighteenth year of Zhizheng (1358), Dazhi Timuer ordered Yang Wanzhi to send troops to attack the eastern Zhejiang region, and Zhang Shicheng to attack Huainan. Yang Wanzhi didn't know that it was a trap, so he resolutely sent his troops Yang Tongtai, Yang Tongzhi, Li Caifu, and Xiao Yu to lead the main force to go to eastern Zhejiang, leaving only 10,000 horses to sit in Hangzhou. Zhu Yuming always felt that something was wrong, and persuaded Yang Wanzhi to go out with the army, but Yang Wanzhi believed too much in Dazhi Timu and rejected Zhu Yuming's suggestion.

Zhang Shicheng did not go far, pretending to lead 100,000 troops to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was stationed ten miles outside Hangzhou.

Zhang Shicheng's general, Shi Wenbing, confirmed that the Miao army had left Hangzhou, and quickly organized troops to attack the city of Hangzhou. The rebels attacked the city violently, the Miao army fought back, fired crossbows and artillery at the city, threw stones, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, Zhang Shicheng fought for a day and a night, but did not break through the city of Hangzhou.

Yang Wanzhi flew a pigeon to pass the book, ordering the large army to return to help and destroy Zhang Shicheng as soon as possible, and suddenly remembered that he had a holiday with him, and immediately sent troops to monitor him. Where is there still a trace of the Harmony of Knowledge, Zhu Yuming was very anxious and wanted to conduct a carpet search, but the troops were insufficient, so he had to give up.

In the early morning of the third day, when Yang Wan and Zhang Shicheng were fighting, Dazhi Timu instigated his subordinates to surround the guards of the east gate, forcibly confiscated their weapons, and opened the city gate without authorization, and Zhang Shicheng's army swarmed in.

It's really impossible to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people! Yang Wanzhi saw Zhang Shicheng rushing in, and hurriedly came down from the city to meet Zhang Shicheng.

Nearly 100,000 Huai troops besieged 10,000 Miao troops, and Zhang Shicheng's ugly face was exposed: "I came to quell the rebellion on the orders of the prime minister, and Yang Tongguan surrendered quickly!" ”

Yang Wanzhi was furious: "Thief Zhang Shicheng, if you have the ability, fight with me alone, don't hurt the innocent." He slapped his horse and stepped forward, and took Zhang Shicheng's head with a gun.

In terms of martial arts, Zhang Shicheng was not Yang Tongguan's opponent at all, he was so frightened that he hurriedly fled to the city gate, and ordered as he ran: "Quick, release the arrow, shoot Yang Tongguan to death for me!" ”

Yang Wanzhi was too close to the archers, and hundreds of rebel archers were chopped into meat sauce by the Miao army. Zhang Shicheng was in a hurry, and moved artillery out of the city, and bombarded Yang Tongguan and Yang Tongpu for a while.

After the artillery fire, the Miao army was less than 5,000 people, and Yang Wanzhi said: "Brothers, rush--capture Zhang Shicheng alive-"

After a burst of killing, more than 10,000 rebels were killed, and there were only 2,500 Miao troops left.

Yang Tongguan jumped up from his horse, and the Yang family general slammed it, and the rebels fell to the ground in an instant, with death at the worst and blood vomiting at the lightest. Yang Tongpu and Zhu Yuming led their troops to slash, and the rebels' heads rolled to the ground, and their faces were as frightened as dirt.

I don't know when Dazhi Timuer appeared, he rode a horse, stood next to Zhang Shicheng, and said with a wicked smile: "Yang Tongguan, I didn't expect you to have today!" Lay down your arms and spare you from dying! ”

Zhu Yuming was most unaccustomed to eating inside and outside, he quickly threw out a shuttle dart, hit the mount of Dazhi Timuer, and the war horse jumped up in pain, knocking Dazhi Timuer to the ground. Dazhi Timuer was also hit by two darts in his left shoulder, and if he hadn't had a heart guard, he would have died a long time ago.

Dazhi Timu was annoyed and ashamed, and hurriedly ordered: "Beat me to death, not one of them will be left, until I kill them all!" ”

Yang Wanzhi turned back to Zhu Yuming and said: "We must leave Zhang Shicheng's incriminating evidence, brother, you quickly lead 1,000 people to break through from the West Gate, and I will break back!" "Zhu Yuming took the order and went from the West Gate.

The 1,500 members of the Miao army regarded death as if they were home, full of anger, and fought with the rebels, raising their swords and falling down, and the rebels left corpses behind and began to commotion. You must know that these Miao soldiers are battle-hardened heroes, and they would rather die in battle than steal their lives.

Seeing that Zhu Yuming had highlighted Ximen, he must have gone to move the rescue soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and shouted hysterically: "Zhang Shicheng, your subordinates are all rice buckets, and even these more than 1,000 people can't do it." Ding, no wonder you are always chased and beaten by Zhu Chongba! ”

Zhang Shicheng was very unhappy in his heart, so he had to brazenly order: "Whoever obtains Yang Tongguan's head will be rewarded with 10,000 taels!" ”

Zhang Shicheng's soldiers were all soldiers who regarded money as their life, and as soon as they heard that they had money, they surrounded them again like outlaws. Yang Tongguan and Yang Tongpu fought and retreated, retreating to the marshal's mansion, there were less than 200 soldiers around them, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw these brothers who were born and died with themselves fall one by one.

Yang Tongguan seemed to see the old mother of the family leaning on the door waiting for her son's return, and the father and villagers of Chishuitong were looking forward to it at the entrance of the village......

A voice sounded in my ears: "Son, it is better to die in battle than to die at the hands of traitors!" ”

Yang Tongguan pondered, now that the war is defeated, what kind of face do I have to go underground to see my old father......

Yang Tongguan and Yang Tongpu carried the Yang family gun into the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion, the two brothers were speechless, took out six feet of white practice, hung the beams in the hall, put a set of necks, and left the ground with a jump: "We won't be blind when we die, we want to see how the two villains, Zhang Shicheng and Dazhi Timuer, die!" So the brothers hanged themselves.

Three days later, Yang Tongtai and others led more than 100,000 Miao troops back to Hangzhou, played the banner of revenge for Yang Wanzhi, and conquered Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng, who was a thief, fled when he heard the news, and quickly withdrew from Hangzhou City with his troops.

In order to quell the changes in Hangzhou and appease the Miao army, Emperor Yuan Shun issued an edict to posthumously present the complete Tan Guogong, Zhen Zhongshu, Boyan Hengguo Gong, and Zhen Zhonglie.

The murderers Zhang Shicheng and Dazhi Timu did not get the punishment they deserved, and Yang Wanzhi's brother is dead, what is the use of giving these false names?
