[Take Shandong first, remove its shield.

In October of the 27th year of Zhizheng (1367), Xu Da personally led the main force of the Northern Expedition, passing through Yizhou from the north of the Jianghuai River, and approaching Yidu, an important town in Shandong.In addition, Zhang Xingzu led a partial division from Xuzhou to attack Jining, Jinan and other places.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's military strategy, Xu Da faithfully implemented the policy of controlling the key points of the Yellow River and blocking the reinforcements of the Yuan Dynasty, completely isolating Shandong.

Xu Da first wiped out Wang Xuan of Yizhou at both ends of the first mouse, and then defeated Puyan Buhua, the Xuanwei envoy of the Yuan Dynasty in Yidu. After that, the two armies of the Ming army progressed smoothly and occupied Shandong in February of the first year of Hongwu. . 】

Zhu Houzhao: "At this time, the princes in the northern part of the Yuan Dynasty were busy beating Wang Baobao in groups, so they couldn't care less about rescuing Shandong. However, Taizu never resorted to dangerous moves when using troops, and always made decisions before moving."

[Spin ​​to Henan, break its wings.

In the first year of Hongwu (1368), when Xu Da led the troops to take almost all of Shandong, Zhu Yuanzhang actively dispatched troops and arranged for the deployment of the capture of Henan.

Xu Da of the North Route Army attacked the city all the way to the west and forced to land the Bianliang defenders. Deng Yu of the South Route Army also successfully captured Nanyang. The two Ming armies formed a clamping situation against Luoyang.

In April, Xu Da marched west from Hulao Pass and defeated Tuyin Timur's army at Ta'erling. Within a month, the land of Henan fell in anticipation, and Feng Sheng took Tongguan lightly. 】

Ying Zheng: "It's too fast. The army of the Yuan Dynasty is too weak. They lost Shandong and Henan in just a few months."

Liu Yu: "When did Tongguan become so fragile? In the past, it was normal for a strong pass like Tongguan to fight for several months."

[In June of the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang discussed the strategy of destroying the Yuan army with the generals in Bianliang, and once again determined the strategy of directly capturing the capital.

In July, the Ming armies from various ministries in Henan and Shandong began to assemble and cross the river. They joined forces in Linqing. The Ming army captured Dezhou and Changlu along the way, occupied Zhigu (Tianjin), and controlled the estuary.

Afterwards, the Ming army advanced both land and water, and defeated the Yuan army in Hexiwu, captured Tongzhou, and pushed into Yuan Dadu.

After Emperor Yuan Shun fled, the Ming army successfully occupied Yuan Dadu.From October of the 27th year of Zhizheng to August of the first year of Hongwu, under the leadership of Xu Da, the Ming army realized Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of destroying Yuan in more than nine months. 】

Monk Wanyan Chen: "When did the Mongols get so ungrateful that they broke up the capital city like this?"

Xin Qiji: "Quick! The Han army of this later generation is so capable of fighting, so quick!"

Meng Gong: "The generals of the Ming army are interesting, really interesting!"

[One for one, whoever coaxes loses.

After capturing Dadu, the Ming army began to attack the rest of Hebei, and sent two armies from the north and the south to attack Shanxi.

At this time, stationed in Shanxi was the expansion Timur (Wang Baobao) who had just shed the title of the No. [-] Public Enemy of the Yuan Dynasty and transformed into a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty.

Wang Baobao accepted the will of Emperor Yuan Shun and detoured from Yanmen Pass to Baoan Prefecture, intending to attack Beiping and restore Yuan Dadu via Juyong Pass.

Xu Da later found out about Wang Baobao's intentions. After a calm analysis, he realized that Sun Xingzu, the defender of Beiping, was strong enough to resist Wang Baobao.So he decided to take advantage of Taiyuan's emptiness and attack Taiyuan directly with all his strength.The East Route Army soon marched to the east of Taiyuan, and the South Route Army also entered the Shangdang Highland, and the two armies will join forces soon.

When Wang Baobao arrived in Baoanzhou and learned of Xu Da's movements, he felt that the Taiyuan defender was unreliable, so he had to lead more than ten thousand fine riders back to the original road to rescue Taiyuan.

Liu Xiu: "The Yuan army is not as brave as the soldiers and horses of the Ming army, and there are not many brave generals who can even fight. It is unreasonable for the Yuan Dynasty to be undefeated."

Zhu Qizhen: "One for one, whoever persuades loses, so that's what it means. The king of Zhongshan really has a famous commander!"

The two armies of Ming and Yuan faced each other on the front line of Taiyuan. At night, Chang Yuchun proposed to attack Wang Baobao's barracks at night.In a panic, Wang Baobao fled north to Datong with only eighteen cavalry following him.

Li Cunxu: "There are too many surrendering factions in the Yuan army, and military planning is like a sieve. There are problems everywhere. Why was Wang Baobao's surprise attack on Beiping leaked? Why did Wang Baobao know Xu Da's east direction when he arrived in Baoanzhou?"

In February of the second year of Hongwu (1369), the Ming army defeated Wang Baobao again and recovered the entire territory of Hedong. 】

Ying Zheng: "It's still the same sentence. The Ming army's offensive was too fast. In just over a year, the Ming army captured Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Hedong, and half of the country was in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. horrible."

[Squeeze Guanzhong.

In the second year of Hongwu, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun took Guanzhong lightly. Yuan general Li Siqi retreated to Longyou, Zhang Liangbi retreated to the north of Guanzhong, and the Guanzhong Basin was completely returned to the Ming army.

In April of the second year of Hongwu, he also quickly led the Yuan army to attack Beiping, and Chang Yuchun led his troops back to help.

Xu Da, who stayed in Guanzhong, decided to attack Li Siqi in Longyou first. The Ming army went down to Longzhou, Qinzhou, Tianshui and other places. Li Siqi felt that the situation was over, so he surrendered in Lintao Kaicheng.

In May, the Ming army defeated Wang Baobao again. Wang Baobao fled in a hurry. The Ming army marched eastward to Xiaoguan and besieged Qingyang Zhang Liangsi. Qingyang was finally defeated after several months of siege by the Ming army. 】

Liu Bang: "The generals of the Yuan army fought independently, and they would naturally be defeated by the Ming army one by one."

[Battle of Kaiping.

In June of the second year of Hongwu, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong passed through the Yanshan Mountains and led the Northern Expedition to the Remnant Yuan Dynasty.

In the Battle of Kaiping, the Ming army captured a large number of remnant Yuan officials and clans, and stabilized Jibei.In July, Chang Yuchun, known as "Chang Shiwan", who ran across the north and south, died of illness. 】

Zhu Houzhao: "It's really a pity that King Kaiping didn't see me unify the world with the Ming Dynasty!"

Monk Wanyan Chen: "Hahaha, hit him, hit him hard!"

[Break Wang Baobao again.

At this time, only Wang Baobao, who was entrenched in the northwest, and Emperor Yuanshun, who was lingering in the north, remained on the northern front.

In March of the third year of Hongwu (1370), the Ming army again divided into two groups to attack Beiyuan. The west army was led by Xu Da to attack Wang Baobao, and the east army was led by Li Wenzhong to attack Yuanzhu.

In April, Xu Da and Wang Baobao fought fiercely in Sheneryu for many days. Wang Baobao was defeated, and only a few of his wives crossed the Yellow River on driftwood and ran to Helin.

Ying Zheng: "It's hard to say anything about this kid, but his ability to escape is still enough. He can run away immediately every time."

In this battle, the Ming army captured more than [-] Yuan troops and more than [-] clan generals.After that, Wang Baobao's vitality was seriously injured, and he lost his combat ability in a short period of time.

In May, Li Wenzhong of the Eastern Route Army also sang all the way. He led his troops to attack Yingchang City when Emperor Yuan Shun died of illness.

Afterwards, dozens of new emperors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fled to Helin and defected to Wang Baobao. 】

Li Shimin: "The army of the Ming Dynasty marched across Monan, almost beating this tribe to the point of suffocation. Their strength should not be underestimated."
