First, Zhang Shicheng once again stood on its own feet as king.
1363, Zhang Shicheng established himself as the king of Wu, made his mother king, and established an official position. From then on, he no longer obeyed the court, and the court sent people to beg, which was also rejected by Zhang Shicheng.
Second, accustomed to peaceful life, it is becoming more and more corrupt.
After Zhang Shicheng occupied Wudi, due to the relative peace around Wudi, there was no war for many years, and the population was quite large, and the economy gradually prospered. Zhang Shicheng, who has lived in a comfortable environment for a long time, gradually lost his ambition. He became more and more arrogant and extravagant, and then he didn't ask much about political affairs. His brother and son-in-law are even more insatiable, with gold, silver and jewels all over the house.
What's more, Zhang Shicheng's men gradually loosened, and their discipline became more and more lax, and they dragged their feet and disobeyed orders. Every time you encounter a fight, you will only go out to fight if you get a reward, or you will pretend to be sick there. At this time, in order to use them, the court had to reward them with a lot of natural disasters and high officials.
However, after the reward, they didn't work so hard. When we arrived at the military camp, we found maids and concubines to play in the military camp, and let people play and sing, which was nothing like fighting. It is precisely because these generals and soldiers below are extravagant that it is reasonable to lose the battle.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Shicheng did not go into politics. But after the defeat, he didn't ask anything, and then the war broke out, and he also let them lead the troops to fight, and so on. It is understandable that Zhang Shicheng lost in such extravagant circumstances.
