I always find it incredible. I feel that Zhu Yuanzhang is a great man, and he casually pulls out a poor relative or fellow friend.
This Zhu Wenzheng, for example, became a viceroy after a few battles, but at first glance he thought he was a relative.
After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiangxi, he gave him Hongdu.
Hongdu, now Nanchang, is located at the intersection of Fanyang Lake and Ganjiang River. Five lakes and three rivers, controlling barbarians and attracting Europe and Vietnam? The statement is of great strategic significance and can be said to be a battleground for military strategists.
But Zhu Yuanzhang safely handed Hongdu to Zhu Wenzheng, who had no long hair.
Because Zhang Shicheng attacked Han Liner and Liu Futong in the north of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to send troops to support after consulting with the left and right sides.
Chen Youliang took this opportunity to command 60 and hundreds of huge ships, conquer Dongwu and besiege Hongdu.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was busy fighting Zhang Shicheng in Dongwu, and had no time to look east. Even if we sent troops to the Western Expedition to help, with Zhu Yuanzhang's strength at that time, we could not beat Chen Youliang's army.
In the face of such do or die, Zhu Wenzheng, who usually has nothing to do at the party, seems to be a different person at this time. He quickly called an emergency military meeting. As a top officer, he said to every soldier in a firm tone: the city is broken and people are killed, and we will defend Hongdu to the death! ?
Under the correct leadership of Zhu Wenzheng, Hongdu withstood the wave after wave of attacks by the Chen Youliang army.
At first, Zhu Wenzheng thought that Chen Youliang could not attack for a long time and would soon retreat, but he didn't expect Chen Youliang to attack Hongdu with the determination to cross the rubicon this time, that's all.
Facing the largest and most effective army in the world at that time, Hong Du persisted for more than two months, which effectively consumed the effective strength of Chen Youliang's army.
The exhaustion of the Han army made Zhu Yuanzhang see a glimmer of hope. So, on the 85th day of Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops besieging the flood victims, Zhu Yuanzhang commanded 200,000 troops to fight Chen Youliang's exhausted army with a sharp trend, and Wu Jun fought the Han army over Yanghu. As a result, Chen Youliang was killed and wiped out.
The victory of Hongdu Defence War changed the whole situation in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Basically, Zhu Yuanzhang's overlord career has been unimpeded since then. This battle was even called the miracle battle of14th century, and Zhu Wenzheng became famous in World War I!
Unfortunately, Zhu Wenzheng got carried away, hooked up with Zhang Shicheng, and was finally placed under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang.
