Chapter 20 The Third General - Li Wenzhong
Tuotuo passed away. It was a pity and a pity to die.
As a prime minister, he did not die in the hands of his enemies, but in the face of political struggles. He died in a really useless manner.
At the same time, it was a pity that the Mongol army, which was said to be one million, collapsed with him.
With the destruction of the Million Yuan Army, the critical alarm in Chuyang City, which had been extremely tense, was also lifted.
After Zhu Yuanzhang led Marshal Jia to retreat to Chuyang City, a man's lewd eyes fell on Marshal Jia.
Watching Marshal A outside the city retreating step by step back into the city, the eyes that had been paying attention to the development of the situation gradually brightened, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to have a window to vent with the arrival of Marshal A.
This lewd look came from one person.
This person’s name is: Guo Zixing!
There is no record in the history books whether Guo Zixing took any revenge against Marshal A, but I think Guo Zixing should have done so. Based on Guo Zixing's various character expressions, he should be a very vengeful person. Faced with the past
The opponent, the once estranged rival, the unambitious Guo Zixing should have taken some action, at least to teach Marshal A a lesson.
This point has been briefly covered in history books, so we won’t delve into it in detail here.
Anyway, Guo Zixing will never make life easy for Marshal A!
For Zhu Yuanzhang, after the crisis in Chuyang was resolved, the life and death of Marshal A no longer mattered much.
In this situation, if he allowed his father-in-law to do whatever he wanted, he would just turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see anything.
After Zhu Yuanzhang safely retreated to Chuyang and Tuotuo's million-strong army collapsed, Guo Zixing, who felt that everything was going well, expressed to everyone his political status as an army commander.
After the critical situation in Chuyang City was solved, Guo Zixing announced his inner thoughts to everyone.
He is going to be king!
Calls himself: King of Chuyang!
Standing in the audience, looking at this guy with a proud and smiling face in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang, as his son-in-law, first shook his head and smiled bitterly. It turns out that An Fen has been here just to hold back this shit. I asked him, why haven't I been squeamish these days?
, it turns out that I already had a plan in mind.
How can you think of becoming the king of this useless place?
After secretly commenting on Guo Zixing, he was the first to stand up and express his opinion.
A 100% objection.
He first made a fuss about the topography of Chuyang City, saying that Chuyang City was surrounded by mountains and could not be reached by boats, ships, carriages and horses. Therefore, the political economy could not develop rapidly. Judging from the situation, it was not a city that could last for a long time.
A place to live.
My lord, if you really want to be the king, then don't worry. I'll find you a better place than this Chuyang City when I can, and it won't be too late for you to become the king.
When the time comes, don't talk about being king. Even if you are king and hegemon, I won't care about you.
Anyway, I will definitely establish another branch when the time comes. Whether you call me king or not has nothing to do with me. Even if the Yuan army comes, you will be the one to bear the thunder and have nothing to do with me, so I will not follow you.
Diving together.
His idea was first opposed by his son-in-law. When it failed at the first hurdle, Guo Zixing could only give up the idea silently.
Next time, next time I must be the king!
Make up for all the face you lost this time.
While the crisis in Chuyang City was being eliminated, another figure appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The arrival of this man made Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been depressed for a long time due to the war, overjoyed.
This person is Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, his name is: Li Zhen.
There was another person who came with him. He was Li Zhen's son, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. His name was: Li Wenzhong!
Name: Li Wenzhong;
Alias: Li Baoer;
Identity: Zhu Yuanzhang’s nephew;
Occupation: general, counselor;
Ethnicity: Han;
Date of birth: 1339;
Time of death: 1384;
Birthplace: Xuyi, Jiangsu (now Mingguang, Anhui)
Main achievements: Helped Zhu Yuanzhang win the Ming Dynasty;
Title: Cao Guogong,
Posthumous title: King of Qiyang;
Li Wenzhong was a famous general under Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a famous adviser, and the third most meritorious figure among the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty. He ranked second only to General Xu Da and "Chang Shiwan" Bai Sheng General Chang Yuchun. He was awarded the title of Duke of Cao Kingdom.
.
Everyone should remember this name, because in the subsequent war between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, Li Wenzhong played an indelible military exploit.
In order to win over people, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after seeing his nephew who had been away for two years. While he was happy, he settled the two people with him. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Li Wenzhong as his adopted son and changed his
The surname is: Zhu.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang changed his surname, many people call him Zhu Wenzhong, but I personally prefer the name Li Wenzhong.
There is no need for us to discuss his surname too much here. We only need to remember him as a person and understand how brave and resourceful he was in the future.
Li Wenzhong was still underage at this time, and historical records record his age as fourteen years old.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang adopted others as his adopted sons many times, I would like to briefly share my own views.
First of all, the first point is that Zhu Yuanzhang's first wife, Ma, should not have the ability to have children.
This can be inferred from common sense. You may wish to think about it. If your woman is fertile, there is no need for him to accept other people as his sons. He can just close the door with his wife and give birth to his wife by himself.
Make a child by yourself, give birth to seventeen or eight cubs, and when they grow up, they will conquer the world with their father.
After all, it is better for one's own children to kiss other people's adopted children with a different surname.
The second point is that Zhu Yuanzhang’s motives for recruiting others as adopted sons were impure.
You might as well think about it, one is your father, and the other is an outsider who is incomparable with you. The difference between the two is here. On the battlefield, on the battlefield where people sleep in the open and kill people and bleed, they may face death at any time.
At this moment, in the face of Zhuo Lue's achievements, as a son, he is much stronger than an outsider from all aspects, and when it comes to real fighting, his fighting spirit is much stronger than that of an unrelated person.
Doing this is a bit like fighting brothers and fighting between father and son.
I think this is the real purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang to win over these people.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang's fundamental purpose in wooing these people was to make them work for him, and then wait until the right time to kill them.
Well, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang thinks, what he needs to face now is to recruit troops and fight against powerful enemies. The door to victory is opening to him, and a great foundation is waiting for them to build.
The grand ambition and hegemony will be achieved by me:
Let me start the great achievements!
