In the history of the country, Xu Shouhui was a leader of the peasant rebel army who supported more than 100,000 soldiers, galloped across the north and south of the river, shook most of the country, and finally led to the collapse of the feudal rule of the Yuan Dynasty.
Xu Shouhui is a native of Shangwubao (today's Tangzihe) in Luotian Duoyun Township, originally a small trader selling homespun cloth, he is a burly man, extraordinary appearance, upright, courageous, and enjoys high prestige among the masses.
In May of the eleventh year of Yuan Zhizheng (1351 AD), Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others of the White Lotus Church in the north of Dabie Mountain mobilized tens of thousands of Yellow River migrant workers to revolt and hit Guangshan County at the foot of Dabie Mountain. Xu Shouhui, who had long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, saw that the time had come, so he went together with Zou Pusheng, a blacksmith in Macheng, Peng Yingyu, a monk in Yichun County, Jiangxi Province, and others to propagate the idea of "the world is in turmoil, and Maitreya Buddha is about to be born" in the eastern Hubei area, and in August of the same year, there was an uprising in the cloudy villa where the main peak of Dabie Mountain is located, that is, the paradise village, and Xu Shouhui was embraced as the leader. The rebel army wrapped a red scarf on its head, so it was called the Red Turban Army or the Red Army, and at the same time they all believed in Maitreya Buddha and burned incense to gather people, also known as the "incense army".
The Red Turban Army led by Xu captured Luotian County in one fell swoop. In the month, the Weishun king, who defeated the Yuan Dynasty, withdrew from Buhua, captured Qizhou (present-day Qichun) and Huangzhou, and was promoted to the position of Pingzhang Governor, and annexed Ni's old department.
In the tenth year of Zhizheng (1359), Xu Shouhui moved the capital to Jiangzhou (now Jiangxijiang) and changed the year name to Tianding. At this time, Chen Youliang was already in charge of the military and political power, so he was consumed by power, proclaimed himself the king of Han, set up the official subordinates of the palace, and secretly killed Xu's henchmen one by one. In the twentieth year of Zhizheng (136o), Chen Youliang secretly ambushed his troops, and lured Xu to the quarry town near Taiping (present-day Dangtu, Anhui) on the pretext of observing words and looking at the battle terrain, and killed him. Chen Zi became the emperor, the country name was Han, and the name of the year was changed to Dayi, and he was soon defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although Xu Shouhui established the Tianwan regime, although it was only a short period of ten years, it played an immeasurable role in the later Zhu Yuanzhang to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, establish the Ming Dynasty, and promote the development of history.
