Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

Saying goodbye to his career as a monk, Zhu Yuanzhang waited for an extremely important turning point in his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang enlisted in the army.

With a place to eat, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very brave in battle. No matter how powerful the enemy was, he always fought hard and rushed to the front.

In addition, he knew some characters, so he was especially valued by Guo Zixing.

Whenever there was a war, Guo Zixing always let Zhu Yuanzhang accompany him. After a short time, he was promoted to a personal soldier.

This honor naturally made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang lived up to Guo Zixing's expectations, he practiced martial arts harder and followed orders.

He handed over all the spoils he got in each battle to the Marshal's Mansion; the rewards he received were also distributed fairly;

In this way, up and down, I am very satisfied in all aspects, and I am very satisfied with the army.

Guo Zixing saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was so courageous at such a young age, so he regarded him as a confidant and trusted him even more.

And Guo Zixing has an adopted daughter Ma Shi, who is the only daughter of his friend Ma Gong.

This Mr. Ma is also extremely intelligent, once instructed, he knows everything.

In a few years, she has grown into a fair lady and reached the age of marriage, but she has not yet chosen a satisfactory husband.

Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival reminded Guo Zixing of his adopted daughter's marriage. After discussing with his wife, Mrs. Zhang, and obtaining the approval of his adopted daughter and Zhu Yuanzhang, he chose a date to marry them.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang became the son-in-law of Marshal Guo Zixing, and his value rose a hundred times, and the soldiers also treated him differently.

Although he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was excluded at this time.

This bald monk from a humble family background was favored a hundred times within a few days after he joined the army, and earned his wife a promotion, but he annoyed Guo Zixing's two young masters.

The two Guo brothers are naturally jealous.I feel uncomfortable all over when Zhu Yuanzhang sits on an equal footing with himself and calls him a brother.

The two brothers fiddled with each other in front of their father for three days, spread rumors and made troubles, and said bad things about Zhu Yuanzhang.

This Guo Zixing is also a tofu-minded person who doesn't have much opinion.

After the two sons sang and reconciled, he inevitably became suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Relying on his increasingly consolidated position in the army, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take the second son of the Guo family seriously.

When it comes to military affairs, he still talks eloquently, youthful and energetic, as if no one else was around.

Guo Zixing became more and more unhappy, and one day the two actually quarreled over the war.In a rage, Guo Zixing ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to be confined in another room.

Seeing that the opportunity came, the second son of the Guo family added fuel to the flames in front of Guo Zixing, framed Zhu Yuanzhang, and secretly ordered the cook not to feed Yuanzhang, determined to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Ma learned of the second son's secret discussion. She secretly rushed to the kitchen to get two steamed cakes and was about to send Yuanzhang off.Fearing that her adoptive mother would find out, she hurriedly put the steamed cake into her arms.

Seeing her flustered expression and chattering, Mrs. Zhang guessed that there must be a reason, so she grabbed Mrs. Ma and deliberately dawdled with her to talk long and short.

At first Mashi answered absently and randomly.Later, tears flowed into rivers, and weeping choked up.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly backed away and questioned carefully.

Mrs. Ma knelt down and cried loudly, explaining her difficulties.

In the evening when Guo Zixing and his son came back, Mrs. Zhang angrily reprimanded the second son and strongly remonstrated with her husband. The second son had a guilty conscience and had to let his mother scold him without daring to reply.

Soon, internal strife broke out in the rebel army.

Marshal Guo Zixing and Deputy Marshal Sun Deya clashed sharply because of disagreements in the war.

Sun Sui set up a trap to lure Guo Zixing into his home, intending to kill him secretly and make himself king.After Zhu Yuanzhang returned from the expedition and received the news, he immediately led his soldiers to chase Sun's house, went straight into the living room, and said angrily: "The enemy is threatening the city, and the deputy commander did not kill the enemy, but murdered the commander. What's the reason?"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed into Sun Deya's house with his own soldiers and shields, searched around, and finally found Guo Zixing in a low house.

Zhu Yuanzhang broke the chain and returned with a burden on his back.

Since then, Guo Zixing survived a catastrophe, so he was naturally grateful to Yuanzhang and loved him even more.

So, with Guo Zixing's consent, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Zhongli, his hometown after a long absence, raised the banner of the Red Scarf Army, and recruited soldiers and horses.

My childhood friends Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and other young people from the village heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was serving as a soldier and an official outside, and wanted to come to recruit soldiers, and they all came to serve as soon as they were called.

In ten days of effort, a team of more than 700 people was assembled.

These people, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang from birth to death, charged into battle and became the backbone of the uprising team.

Among them, Xu Da and other 24 people, capable of both literature and martial arts, became the later founding heroes.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang recruited talents and returned with his troops.

Guo Zixing then promoted him to be the governor of the town, and put the 700 recruits under his command.

Holding the military power in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wanted to restrict Haozhou. After discussing secretly with Xu Da, he obtained Guo Zixing's consent to take Xu Da, Tang He and other heroes to Dingyuan south to open up a new world.

After winning the first battle in Lvpaizhai, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the victory to attack Miao Daheng in the starry night.

Miao Daheng, who lives in danger in Hengjian Mountain, has more than 20000 soldiers.After Zhu Yuanzhang incorporated Miao Daheng's men and horses, his prestige became louder, and the Quartet joined him.

On the way of the army, someone wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

His surname is Li, his name is Shanchang, and his character is Baishi. He is also a landlord and intellectual from Dingyuan.

He studied since he was a child, paid attention to the study of legalist knowledge, and was very resourceful.Zhu Yuanzhang happily chatted with him and asked him about his strategy to win the world.

Li Shanchang replied calmly: "During the great chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty raised his troops with commoner clothes. He was open-minded, knew people well, and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He became emperor in five years." He continued: "You are from Haozhou. It’s not far from Liu Bang’s hometown, Pei County. If you can imitate Han Gaozu’s strengths, the world can be pacified.”

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang praised him again and again, and immediately stayed by his side as the secretary to help him make suggestions.

The low-key strategy of literati and Confucian scholars strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition to conquer the world, and accelerated his pace of sweeping the heroes and unifying the world.

Breaking the siege of Liuhe fully demonstrated Zhu Yuanzhang's outstanding military talent.Immediately afterwards, Guo Zixing adopted Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion in the first month of the spring of 1355, and sent his wife and brother Zhang Tianyou and others to successfully capture Hezhou (now Hexian County, Anhui).Zhu Yuanzhang, who made frequent military exploits, was promoted to general officer.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took office, he immediately faced many difficulties. At that time, most of the officers and men in Hezhou were Guo Zixing's trilogy, with complex compositions, loose discipline, and random robbery and killing during the expedition, which was very unpopular. see it.Every time a matter is discussed, they compete for the seat, and leave the last seat to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was determined to change this situation.

Before long, he proposed to build the city, and agreed that each person would be responsible for a section, and the project would be completed within three days.

But by the deadline, only Zhu Yuanzhang had completed the project, and none of the generals had completed it.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang took out Guo Zixing's letter to call out, read it in public, and said solemnly after reading it: "I am the commander-in-chief appointed by Marshal Guo. Since I am an official, I have to take responsibility. To build a city, we have our words first, and everyone can't do it on time." After the construction is completed, what will the enemy do if they attack the city? From now on, whoever disobeys the military order will be punished according to the military law!" When the generals saw that the commander-in-chief was serious, they all had to obey in fear.

This incident made Zhu Yuanzhang deeply feel the extreme importance of strict military discipline.

He made up his mind to rectify the discipline of the army, making it a brave and good at fighting, and a benevolent and righteous army supported by the people.

After capturing Hezhou, he ordered that all the women who had been robbed from his own camp be released and let their relatives claim them.

On this day, outside the gate of the camp, there were crowds of people waiting for mothers, wives, and daughters early in the morning. When people saw their relatives again, they were filled with sorrow and joy.

Since then, every time Zhu Yuanzhang captured a city, he asked Li Shanchang and other literati to write notices and post them everywhere.

Continue to declare discipline, and send law enforcement teams to patrol along the streets to protect the people.

Those who violate military discipline, no matter how high their position is, no matter who their children are, will be punished by military law.

In March of the 15th year of Yuan Zhizheng, Guo Zixing, the leader of the uprising, died.

The Song regime established by Liu Futong's peasant uprising appointed Zhu Yuanzhang as the left deputy marshal of this rebel army.Soon, after the two deputy commanders died in battle, Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to generalissimo again.

So far, the rebel army created by Guo Zixing has all been assigned to Zhu Yuanzhang to mobilize and command.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted from infantry to marshal, his land was still sparsely populated, and it was difficult for him to achieve the great cause of unifying China.

He paid special attention to disintegrating the enemy, strengthening himself, uniting all forces under his own banner, and gradually realizing the great goal in his heart.

In the mid-spring of the 16th year of Yuanzhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang personally supervised the land and water generals, and made an aggressive effort to celebrate.

After capturing Jiqing, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Jiqing to Yingtianfu.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, after seven years of baptism of bullets and bullets, had grown from a monk who only made a living for food to a rebel general galloping on the battlefield.

From a small pawn to the overlord who dominates the roost.

In the 19th year from Yuan to Zhengzheng, King Xiaoming appointed him as Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province in Jiangnan and other places.

Zhu Yuanzhang started a new voyage on the life course leading to the Ming Emperor!
