First, in the first month of the twentieth year of Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang in the south was unified, and Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he not only gave up the struggle with Yuan politically, but also colluded with the traitor Zhang Shicheng, the enemy of the Red Scarf Army. Militarily, he no longer fought against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, but concentrated his forces on attacking Zhu Yuanzhang, a former friendly army. Life is also decadent, sleeping in a golden bed, playing with jewels and jade, and having concubines in groups. He became a new member of the landlord class. Therefore, the war between Emperor Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang was not only an anti-feudal war, but also a feudal unified war. The conflict between Zhu Yuanzhang and Tianwan Red Scarf Army began in October of the 17th year of Zheng Zheng, and the two sides fought for Chizhou. Tianwan General Zhao Pusheng defended Chizhou and Chang Yuchun attacked, and the outcome was mutual. After Chen Youliang killed Zhao Pusheng and Xu Shouhui proclaimed himself emperor, his power was weakened, but he was ambitious. He contacted Zhang Shicheng to crusade against Zhu Yuanzhang and expand his sphere of influence. In May of the following year, Chen Youliang led the troops from Jiangzhou to Qing Ji, and Zhu Yuanzhang took Kang Maocai to write to Chen Youliang for false surrender. He ambushed outside Qing Ji and defeated Chen Youliang. Zhang Zhixiong, Liang Xuan, Yu Guoxing and Liu Shiyan surrendered in succession, and countless soldiers were killed and flooded. Captured more than 20 thousand people and hundreds of warships. Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Anqing, Taiping and Xinzhou. In September, Xiahou General Xu Shouhui surrendered to zhou yuan. In the first month of the 21st year, Wang Xiaoming made Zhu Yuanzhang king of Wu. In May, Chen Youliang counterattacked and sent Li to win the trust of Yuzhou. In July, Zhang Dingbian captured Anqing. In August, Zhu Yuanzhang fought back, retaking Anqing and Jiangzhou, and Chen Youliang fled to Wuchang. Zhu Yuanzhang also occupied Nankang, Dong Liu, qi zhou, Huangzhou, Guangji, Raozhou and Jianchang, and the defenders fell one after another. In the first month of the 22nd year, Hu Tingrui, the left prime minister of Dahan, Jiangxi Province, surrendered to Longxing. Longxing is an important town in Jiangxi, which can control Jiangxi Province. Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he kissed Longxing, praised Hu Tingrui and changed Longxing to Hongdu. In August, Chen Youliang captured Ji 'an, killed Zhang, and was recaptured in November. American generals in Chen Youliang have surrendered to this city, so their territory is shrinking and their situation is getting more and more difficult. In order to get out of trouble and get away with it, Chen Youliang sent messengers to see Zhang Shicheng caught between things. Although Zhang Shicheng agreed, his desire to observe the situation and change his mind was sincere, but he could not be an emissary or a pawn. In April of the 23rd year, Chen Youliang was frustrated. Without sending troops, Zhang Shicheng led hundreds of warships amounting to 600,000 and launched a large-scale attack on Zhu Yuanzhang. In order to carry out this campaign, Chen Youliang specially built a warship, which was several feet high and decorated with red paint. The upper and lower floors are covered with stables with dozens of paddles. I don't know anyone on the upper and lower floors. These paddles are all wrapped in iron sheets and are very strong. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was leading the main force north to help Anfeng. Chen Youliang thought he would win, so he took his family, officials, and the empty country for a strategic decisive battle. But Chen Youliang did not attack the sky by taking advantage of his weakness, but led an army to surround Hongdu. Hong Shoujiang is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng. He led all the troops to defend themselves. Chen violently attacked the city and was repelled. All kinds of siege tactics have been used. After 85 days, the city still cannot be broken. In this way, on the one hand, Chen Jun's spirit was greatly frustrated, giving Zhu Yuanzhang time to return to the army for rescue. Zhu Yuanzhang returned from Anfeng, in July, after

However, Jun Chen also has many weaknesses. First of all, it is very unpopular for Chen Youliang to kill the Lord. Many soldiers are unwilling to work for him, and their morale is low. But unity from top to bottom, and everyone's efforts to win the meritorious military service, greatly exceeded Chen's morale. Moreover, Chen Jun's American warships are very big, but they are connected by chains, which is very difficult to operate. Although the warships of Zhu Jun and the United States are small, they are flexible, advance and retreat freely, and have an advantage in actual combat. Thirdly, in the tactical application, Zhu Yuanzhang seized Chen Jun and attacked with fire from the beginning. In this way, the situation has changed a lot. On July 20th, Zhu Jun entered Poyang Lake, and on July 20th, 2 1 year, the two armies of Zhu Chenhao fought fiercely. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong and others led the troops to the war, defeated their former army, and killed 1500 people, winning the first battle and becoming famous. Yu Tonghai took an air gun and burned more than 20 warships of Chen. Many soldiers were killed and injured, and Zhu Jun generals Han Cheng, Song Gui and Chen Zhaoxian also died. On the 22nd, the fighting became more intense. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered those who dared to die to carry gunpowder and reeds in boats. After lighting, they rushed into the American warship in Chen Feng. The fire started with the wind and hundreds of warships were burned down. Chen Youliang, Xiahou _' s younger brother You Ren, Zhang Heping and many other generals were burned to death. Thousands of people were killed. Benevolent people, the so-called five Wang Zhidao, one eye and wisdom. After two days of fierce fighting on the 23rd and 24th, Chen Jun was defeated and could not help himself. He called disabled soldiers to defend himself, and Zhu Jun dared not accept the challenge. Chen Youliang was unable to fight again and wanted to withdraw, but the entrance of Hukou into the Yangtze River was blocked, and Chen was in a dilemma. Zhu Yuanzhang seized the opportunity to strengthen the offensive, disintegrated the army, and wrote to Chen Youliang one after another, reiterating his idea of decisive battle with Yi Di, accusing him of not only waging war, but also daring to decisive battle. What? What happened to her husband? Chen Deshu was furious. T replied. Chen Jun is trapped in the lake. He can't get out, but he wants to keep his food. His morale is getting lower and lower. Even Chen Youliang Xiahou _ about Jin Wuer led the people to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang. Without this second general, your troops will naturally decline. The two armies were at loggerheads until August 26th, when Chen Youliang had no food and had to run to Wuchang. When he broke through the mouth of the lake, he was killed by an arrow in the middle stream, and Taizishan and Pingzhang Yao Tianxiang were captured. On 27th, Chen Rong political leader Lu Mou and Tang Dynasty special envoy Cai Li led more than 50,000 people to surrender. Zhang Qiu returned from Dingbian Chen Youliang Xiahou _ and his son Chen arrived in Wuchang by boat at night, and Zhu Yuanzhang won the decisive battle in Poyang Lake. In September, Zhu Yuanzhang set sail hand in hand, surrounded Wuchang in June of 5438+00, and divided his forces to attack Hanyang and De 'an counties. On the first day of the first month of the 24th year, Li Shanchang led his ministers to surrender, and Zhu Yuanzhang acceded to the throne as Wu. In February, after a long siege, Zhu Yuanzhang launched a general attack on Wuchang. Because Hongshan was defeated by Chang Yuchun, Prime Minister Zhang Bixian came from Yuezhou to help. Zhang Bixian himself was also captured. Wucheng ran out of grain and grass. On February 6th, David li Chen was stripped of his flesh and led Zhang Qiu to surrender. Chen Youliang's Dahan regime perished. In the twenty-third year of the fall of Zhang Shicheng, in February, Zhang Shicheng attacked Anfeng Wang Xiaoming, indicating that he had completely turned to the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty and resolutely opposed the peasant army. After the Battle of Anfeng, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to save Hongdu, and Zhang Shicheng took the opportunity to occupy Anfeng again. In September, he claimed to be the King of Wu and asked Yuan Ting to recognize him. Without approval, Yuan Ting asked him for food, but he refused. In August of the 24th year, in order to further control Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Zhang Shicheng also forced the prime ministers of Yuan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to give way to his younger brother Zhang Shicheng. After abdicating, Dazhi Timur was placed under house arrest in Jiaxing. Soon, he was forced to commit suicide by drinking zhenniao. Zhang Shicheng, top mini
