In 1367 AD, under the order of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da was appointed as the general to conquer the captives, and Chang Yuchun was appointed as the deputy general. He led an army of 250,000 troops and marched north to the Central Plains.

The real Northern Expedition began.

The political liquidation campaign against the Yuan Dynasty has officially begun!

In order to effectively disintegrate the enemy's army politically and psychologically, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a loud slogan before the army set off.

Expelled the barbarians, restored China, established principles and disciplines, and rescued the people.

Look, this slogan has far-reaching significance.

Because later Mr. Sun also modified it based on this slogan and organized his political power.

In order to completely eradicate this stubborn problem in the Yuan Dynasty, the army formulated a detailed attack plan before setting off.

The specific plan is basically the same as the route to attack Zhang Shicheng.

First attack Shandong to remove the protective barrier of the Yuan Dynasty; then march to Henan to cut off its wings, capture Tongguan and occupy its threshold; and then march to Dadu.

This plan is somewhat similar to a strategy that avoids reality and takes advantage of the situation.

It means picking out the weak characters first, and then dealing with the powerful characters after all the weak characters have been eliminated.

Facing the Zhu Jiajun's strong attack, the Yuan Dynasty emperor finally came to his senses.

The once bald donkey troops with hairless heads and electric discharges have now become a pack of wild wolves.

A pack of howling wild wolves.

The wolf is coming!

And it has already been delivered to your doorstep!

what can we do about it?

Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, who was finally aware of the fear of the soldiers approaching the border, hurriedly ordered Wang Baobao, the most powerful man, to be made Prime Minister of the Left of the Yuan Dynasty. He was also made King of Henan and asked him to lead troops to resist the powerful incoming Zhu army.

But at this time, Wang Baobao, who had been fighting Zhang Siqi for more than a year, couldn't stop at all. Wang Baobao, who was completely red-eyed, didn't pay attention to the wild ass army of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. He just sent them

Tamerlane's younger brother Tuoin went through the motions.

Perfunctory court.

As the absolute leaders of the army, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang, nor did they disappoint Tuoyin Timur. Under the leadership of the two, it took only three months to kill the remaining enemies in Shandong.

, and occupies the entire Shandong area.

Tuoyin Timur was defeated in one battle and fled back to Henan in a hurry with his tail between his legs!

That is to say, after the complete liberation of Shandong, a great moment came from Yingtian.

On January 23, 1368 (the fourth day of the first lunar month), Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Daming.

Era name: Hongwu.

Posthumous title: Emperor Gao;

Temple name: Taizu;

Later generations commonly known as: Emperor Hongwu, also known as Ming Taizu.

The 276-year glorious history of the Ming Dynasty officially begins from this moment!

This is a great moment that all of us should remember, because from this moment on his influence on the entire China is unprecedented.

Zhu Yuanzhang used his personal experience to show us the inspirational story of a cowherd boy who rose from nothing to the pinnacle of life.

He told us from his personal experience:

No matter how humble your status and origins are, as long as you are not willing to degenerate and move forward desperately, you may reach the high point of your life and destiny.

No matter how bad and chaotic the social situation is, as long as we do not succumb to oppression and slavery, we can do extraordinary things with our hands.

It also tells us a truth for future generations, not only the rich second generation can create brilliance, but a commoner wearing commoners can also create a dazzling future!

In today's impetuous society, many people, whether they are white-collar workers or blue-collar workers, civilians or officials, will feel a deep sinking feeling after living in this mixed society for a period of time.

In this kind of sinking, they gradually lose themselves, give up their ideals and forget their responsibilities, and fall into deep confusion. They don’t know where the future is. Whether the road ahead is muddy or spacious is an unsolved mystery. They can’t find the direction for the future.

, either secretly depressed or secretly sinking into a lethargy, with no goals at all and no expectations.

But I think that at times like this, we should pick up our spirits and start paying attention to our inner self.

Ask yourself a few questions when the time is right:

who I am?

Where do I come from?

Where will you go in the future?

Give yourself an intuitive and true answer in your heart.

Remember, it must be true, don’t be too ambitious, let alone unrealistic.

Just ignore the completely nonsense ideas that I want to be Bill Gates first, Li Ka-shing second, etc.

That kind of nonsense that is just for kidding is just deceiving oneself and has no meaning at all.

Because now that you are working, you have begun the real journey of life. You have left the campus, separated from the educational group, and started your own splendid life.

At this time, no matter what kind of environment we are in, everyone has fully entered the society, and some people have even married and had children and started families. At this time, we should pay more attention to ourselves, correct our thoughts and life goals, and work hard at work.

Correct your dreams appropriately, and find ways to realize and complete your dreams in reality and hard work.

Don't lose yourself in the busy life, let alone lose your life in the complicated communication.

You only live once, and your death lasts only a few years.

Don't let your life come to this world in vain!

Make your life worthwhile and meaningful.

Only in this way can we be worthy of the greatness of life!

Only then will you have no regrets about the value of life!

Okay, this is a bit off-topic, let’s continue the story of Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the future, we can finally abandon the name Zhu Jiajun. There is a more suitable name for the current Zhu Jiajun.

The Ming Dynasty army.

Abbreviation: Ming Jun.

After Shandong was completely liberated, the Yuan Dynasty government, which was already extremely anxious, was finally forced to issue an administrative order.

Order Li Siqi to stop the internal strife with Wang Baobao and reconcile!

Emperor Yuan Shun was really scared at this time!

He hoped that his action would work.

But the truth is exactly the opposite!

When the adjustment agreement was sent to Wang Baobao, Wang Baobao made an astonishing move.

Not only did he fail to carry out the order, he also killed the messenger who sent the message with his backhand!

These messengers are completely unlucky.

It was originally a good deal and a good thing for everyone to get promoted and make a fortune together, but unexpectedly, they met Wang Baobao, a fool.

Unfortunately, they became Wang Baobao's victims.

After dealing with the envoy, Wang Baobao stepped up the military attack on Li Siqi.

Li Siqi was also unambiguous. He also made a strategic counterattack against Wang Baobao's increasingly aggressive military offensive. He enlisted the four major warlords in Shaanxi to jointly establish an anti-king alliance, elected Li Siqi as the leader, and unanimously resisted Wang Baobao's attack.

Faced with the tragic experience of his envoy being killed, in order to punish Wang Baobao, Emperor Yuan Shun made what I think was an extremely stupid decision. He revoked Wang Baobao from his official position as Crown Prince and Tutor, and removed Wang Baobao from his position as Prime Minister of the Left, leaving only one

The King of Henan's empty post is awaiting further processing.

Faced with this punishment decision, Wang Baobao, who had completely lost his face, raised the machete in his hand again.

Killed the official who delivered the message again.

At this time, Wang Baobao and his subordinates discovered that the boss had gone completely crazy and completely irrational. Facing the opponent's extremely tyrannical military attack, in order to survive and save their lives, they decided to betray Wang Baobao's organization and return to the Yuan Dynasty court.

The defection of his subordinates had a huge impact on Wang Baobao. First of all, Li Siqi, who was facing him, could not handle it.

So for the sake of safety, he chose to avoid it temporarily.

Withdrew to Jinning, Shanxi (now Pingyang, Shanxi) to wait for a later counterattack.

It was in this situation where multiple warlords were constantly fighting each other that Zhu Jiajun, who had completely liberated Shandong, began his next plan.

According to the pre-war action plan, the next target will be cleared by force.

This location is Henan.

When Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's troops arrived in Henan, they faced their old rival in Luoshui in the first battle, Wang Baobao's younger brother Tuoyin Timur, who had been defeated by them in Shandong.

The only difference this time was that Tamerlane was accompanied by his maternal grandfather Aruwin.
