Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered seven small boats to be prepared, each of which was loaded with gunpowder and a light boat at the stern. www.biquge.info In the evening, the northeast wind happened to blow, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent a group of dead soldiers to drive these seven small boats, ignite the fire in the wind, and go straight to Chen Youliang's big boat.

The wind was fierce, and all the big ships of the Han army were burned at once. The smoke filled the air, and the flames soared into the air, illuminating Poyang Lake red. The Han army ships were even more wailing and screaming, and the sergeants were burned to death, choked to death, and drowned. All of a sudden, there were corpses floating all over the lake, and it was miserable.

Chen Youliang was fortunate enough to escape from the sea of fire with the help of his generals, and broke through to the mouth of Poyang Lake with the remnants of the defeated army. But the mouth of the lake has long been blocked by Zhu Yuanzhang, when Chen Youliang broke through, Zhu Jun was a burst of arrows, and Chen Youliang said goodbye to his horse life.

After Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated Chen Youliang, the largest separatist force in the south, he proclaimed himself King of Wu. After Liu Futong's death, Zhu Yuanzhang took King Xiao Ming to Chuzhou, nominally accepting the rule of King Xiao Ming, but in fact, his idea of being an emperor had long since swelled. He felt that keeping King Xiao Ming was an obstacle for him, so in 1366 AD, he took King Xiao Ming to Yingtianfu by boat, and when King Xiao Ming crossed the river in Guabu (now southeast of Liuhe, Jiangsu), he sent someone to secretly scuttle the boat and drowned King Xiao Ming.

In the second year, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated Zhang Shicheng's separatist forces, and then ordered Xu Da to be the general of the conquest and Chang Yuchun to be the deputy general, leading the northern expedition of 250,000 troops. Two months later, Xu Da's army was victorious and occupied Shandong. In the first month of 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne as the emperor, and set Tianfu (now Nanjing) as the Beijing division, with the country name Daming and the year name Hongwu, and established the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army pursued the victory, and the Yuan soldiers were defeated and retreated. In August of this year, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others led a large army to the north, and went straight to Dadu (now Beijing), and Emperor Yuan Shun fled north to Shangdu. The Mengyuan Dynasty, which had ruled the Central Plains for 97 years, was finally overthrown, and China once again fell into the hands of the dynasty established by the Han Chinese.

In 1398, after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, succeeded to the throne as Huizong and the year name Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen immediately conspired with his cronies Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others to cut down the domain. The king of Zhou, the king of Dai, the king of Qi, the king of Xiang, and the king of Min were successively deposed as concubines or killed, and at the same time, in the name of border defense, the elite soldiers of the king of Yan were transferred to prepare to cut off the king of Yan. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was not convinced by this little emperor who had not dried up, and he had already had the idea of being the emperor in his heart, and at this time, under the advice of Yao Guangxiao, in the name of "Qingjun side" and "Jingnan", launched the Battle of Jingnan, and finally occupied Nanjing. Emperor Jianwen escaped from the fire in Miyagi and stayed in the mountains to cut his home. He wanted to wait for the opportunity to regain his throne, but he didn't expect that this fourth uncle would be the head of the emperor and manage the entire Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner. In order to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty from the suffering of war, he finally gave up the idea of seizing the emperor, and since then he has lived in seclusion in the mountains and old forests for the rest of his life.

After the victory of the Battle of Jingyan, Zhu Dige removed the Jianwen era and continued to use the "Hongwu" year, that is, the fourth year of Jianwen was changed to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, and at the same time ordered the restoration of all the laws and official systems changed by the Jianwen Dynasty. In the following year, in 1403, he changed the Yuan Yongle and ascended to the throne of the emperor, which was the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty (Renzong set the temple number as Taizong, and Sejong changed the temple number to Chengzu in September of the 17th year of Jiajing).

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, his martial arts flourished, first attacking Annan, and then personally entering Mobei to attack Mongolia to prevent future troubles. In terms of cultural governance, Chengzu ordered the compilation of the "Yongle Canon", which was completed in three years. At the beginning of the third year of Yongle, Zheng He was sent to the West on an unprecedented scale and expanded the influence of the Ming Dynasty. In the fifth year of Yongle (1407), he issued an edict to build a palace in Beijing. In the seventh year of Yongle (1409), Chengzu visited Beijing, set up six ministries and the Imperial Court in Beijing, and set up a mausoleum for the deceased Empress Xu in Beijing, which has shown signs of moving the capital. After more than ten years of operation, Beijing has initially prospered. In 1416, Zhu Di announced the idea of moving the capital, which was approved. Yongle began to build Beijing on a large scale in the 15th year, and the completion was announced in the 18th year of Yongle, and the capital was officially moved in the 19th year of Yongle. During the reign of Zhu Di, it was known as the prosperous era of Yongle.

In 1424, Zhu Di died and was succeeded by his eldest son Zhu Gaochi, known as Emperor Renzong in history. Renzong died of illness in the first year of his reign, and was passed on to Xuanzong. When Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne at an early age, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Rong presided over the political situation in the court, and they were known as the "Three Yangs" in history. At that time, it could be described as "the sea is clear, and all countries come to the dynasty".

After 1442, the eunuch Wang Zhen began to abuse power, and in 1449, the earth-shaking Tumubao Rebellion occurred. Emperor Jingtai, the younger brother of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, decisively defeated Wara and won the battle of Beijing. After experiencing the business recovery of Jingtai and Tianshun dynasties, the national strength has rebounded, and the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the filial piety period was ruled again, at this time the politics were clear, the people's livelihood was healthy, and the foreign restoration of Hami and other guards, known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history.

In the Zhengde Dynasty, there was a decline again, and in the early days of Jiajing, the new policy was re-implemented, and the political and national strength was once restored, but because of the last years of Jiajing, the contradictions between the monarch and the minister were prominent, and various social contradictions germinated. During the Longqing period, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others implemented a new policy, abolished the sea ban, and canonized Tatar Altan Khan and others, which was known as the Longqing New Deal in history.

In the Wanli Dynasty, reforms were implemented under the auxiliary government of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, and it was revived again. At this time, the sea was cleared, and successively pacified the rebellion in Gansu and Guizhou, and rescued North Korea to defeat the invading Japanese army, which was known as Wanli Zhongxing in history. During the Wanli period, the economy prospered, and capitalism sprouted in China. At the beginning of the middle of the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor neglected his administration, the officials became more corrupt, and the landlord class frantically looted the people's fat and ointment, which led to the occurrence of the Jiangnan civil uprising. In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Nurhachi, a Jurchen tribe of Jianzhou outside Guanwai, was called "the wise Khan of the overlying countries" in Hetuala, and the country name was "Dajin" (known as Houjin in history), and became the Great Khan of Houjin. At this time, Nurhachi had already invaded most of the Jurchen tribes. In 1618, in the forty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, because Nurhachi thought that the Ming Dynasty court favored the Jurchen Yehebu and was resentful, he angrily promulgated the "Seven Great Hatreds" and raised troops against the Ming. At this point, the Ming Dynasty began to enter the stage of decline.
