Shortly after Chang Yuchun defected to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, an earth-shattering event occurred in Huaixi.

The cause of this major event was a person, and his name was: Han Lin'er.

Han Lin'er was the son of Han Shantong, who first preached the White Lotus teachings in Anhui, promoted the birth of Maitreya, the birth of King Ming, and organized a militia rebellion.

Han Shantong, together with Liu Futong and others, took advantage of the opportunity of the Yuan Dynasty to forcefully recruit 150,000 people to repair the Yellow River, spread the slogan "The stone man with one eye can instigate rebellion in the Yellow River", and falsely claimed that he was the eighth grandson of Song Huizong.

Organize a rebellion to fight against the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Han Shantong was too fat and had short legs when he was at the rebellion stall. When he played the tortoise and the hare race with the Yuan army, his feet could not keep up with the fleeing army. After the Yuan army violently

While being suppressed, he was captured alive on the spot, later stabbed and beheaded, and his body was exposed on the street.

After his father was beheaded, Han Lin'er, his son, fully inherited his father's rebellious genes. On the way to escape with his mother, he teamed up with Liu Futong and others to recruit rebels, and then gathered heavy troops to capture Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui).

Then, using Yingzhou as the base, we gradually gathered connections to seek greater development.

In the spring of the 15th year of Zhengzheng, that is, 1355 AD, after Liu Futong and others captured Bozhou (today's Bozhou, Anhui), they then made Bozhou the capital and established a political power. The specific information of the political power is as follows:

Emperor: Han Lin'er;

Alias: Xiao Ming Wang;

Country name: Song Dynasty;

Year name: Dragon and Phoenix.

Founded: 1355;

Died in: 1366;

Total survival time: 12 years.

Later generations also called this regime the Dragon and Phoenix regime.

Many people say that the name Han Lin'er is difficult to remember. Well, let me talk about another well-known figure. Many scholars believe that this person's experience is a copy of Han Lin'er, that is, Han Lin'er's prototype. His name is

: Zhang Wuji (the protagonist of Mr. Jin Yong’s "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword").

After the establishment of the Longfeng regime, Han Lin'er's status was not very stable. Under the dual threat of powerful ministers (Liu Futong) internally and powerful soldiers externally, Han Lin'er had been playing a puppet-like role and was at the mercy of others. The politics of the Longfeng regime

The power is also constantly changing, and it is difficult to develop while the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is weak and we are strong.

It was not until June of the 18th year of Zhizheng (1357) that the bandit leader Liu Futong led his army into Xia Bianliang (now Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan). Liu Futong welcomed Emperor Han Lin'er into the city, and then changed the capital of the Song Dynasty to Bianliang.

Capturing Bianliang is definitely not a trivial matter. You must know that in that era of mixed dragons and snakes, any bastard would want to be the first to capture this place, because it was once the capital of six different dynasties.

There is a deep-rooted dragon vein here.

Whoever captures this place first will be able to command the officials and command the world.

Bianliang, the holy land of martial arts, the treasure; no one dares to disobey the Red Army when ordered to do so.

After three attacks, Liu Futong, who was as invincible as Xiaoqiang and could not be defeated, captured Bianliang, which can be said to be a great achievement.

It was after this news that everyone was shocked.

Bianliang was first of all the capital of the Six Dynasties, a gathering place of economy and culture. More importantly, Bianliang was also the capital of the Song Dynasty (during the reign of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin). At this time, the Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er rose up to fight against the descendants of Song Taizu.

name, so attacking Xia Bianliang at this time can be said to have a great impact and far-reaching significance.

After capturing Bianliang and moving to the capital, Han Lin'er began to ennoble heroes.

First of all, Liu Futong was made prime minister, and he was granted the title of Crown Prince and Taibao.

Later, he claimed to be the supreme commander of the Red Scarf Army and asked all the Red Scarf Army to surrender to his command. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not far from Bianliang, also received Han Lin'er's canonization document.

Guo Tianxu, son of Guo Zixing, was appointed marshal of the capital, Zhang Tianyou, brother-in-law of Guo Zixing, was appointed deputy marshal on the right, and Zhu Yuanzhang was appointed deputy marshal on the left.

There was a convention in ancient times, that is, lower left and upper right.

This is not so much canonization as it is recruitment.

In this recruitment letter, Zhu Yuanzhang's identity is obviously the lowest among the three.

Those two useless losers are now sitting on Zhu Yuanzhang's head, shitting and peeing.

When they heard about this canonization appointment, the happiest people were naturally Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou.

After seeing each other's political identities from the canonization documents, the two finally got what they wanted. After rebelling for so many years, they finally had a legitimate title, which was considered a great achievement.

The two people's sloping face frame was full of pits and ugly faces, enough to make a flower burst into laughter. They looked at Zhu Yuanzhang behind them while laughing heartily, looking at this comrade in the trenches who bullied and attacked him all day long, with a look in his eyes.

Showing contempt.

That kind of look was like a warning to Zhu Yuanzhang: You are a bald donkey who looks like a loser. You won't be able to play for a few days anymore. Your status is higher than yours and your position is more important than yours. If you are rude to us again in the future,

, be careful of men cutting you!

Zhu Yuanzhang must be angry when he sees these two useless things above his own status. Han Lin'er, this bastard, you dare to canonize randomly without even knowing who is the true leader of this army.

Blind your dog eyes.

Facing this canonization, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, but more hesitant.

The hesitant question is: How virtuous and capable are you, Han Lin'er, to make me obey your orders?

Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou are nothing to be afraid of. I can't even look at you two prodigal bastards. When your lord was alive, you still had people to protect you when you made trouble, but now your lord has turned his back on you, sir.

What you have done can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing. To put it bluntly, you are just two grasshoppers in my hands. If I am happy, I will ignore you and let you do whatever you want.

If you offend the uncle one day, hehe, I will let you go to meet your lord together!

There is no need to consider these two people. The most difficult question now is whether to accept this edict?

If you accept the canonization edict, it will be equivalent to recognizing Han Lin'er's identity as the emperor and accepting the requirements of the officials of the Longfeng regime.

But if you don't accept it, your army is still part of the Red Scarf Army's battle order, and it has been using the name of the White Lotus Sect. Direct refusal will mean that you don't recognize that you are the Red Scarf Army. Doing so is tantamount to betraying the Red Scarf Army.

, this approach is also inappropriate.

If Han Lin'er is offended, once he gets angry and burns himself, something bad will happen.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said something that puzzled me.

"A real man would rather be controlled by others?"

As a man, how can I be controlled by others?

This sentence is not wrong, but the mistake lies in his subsequent actions. Although Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his position and opinions, Zhu Yuanzhang unexpectedly accepted Han Lin'er's canonization document.

Accepting the document is equivalent to accepting Han Lin'er's recruitment.

Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's answers and actions before and after, there is a problem here.

The smell here is not normal either.

I think he had his own agenda.

He also had his own deep-seated motives for accepting Han Lin'er's recruitment.

Here we might as well think about this issue from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective.

First of all, accepting Han Lin'er's recruitment was more beneficial than harmful to him, because he was in a very special geographical location at that time. It could be said that he was surrounded by strong enemies, and his own power was relatively weak and far from sufficient.

to compete with others.

Under such circumstances, if Han Lin'er accepts Han Lin'er's offer, if other parties want to attack him, they have to estimate their own weight. After all, bullying Zhu Yuanzhang at this time is no longer a matter of simply bullying one of his troops.

.Bullying Zhu Yuanzhang at this time would be tantamount to directly challenging the entire Song Dynasty court. The consequences would be very serious. By doing this, Zhu Yuanzhang invisibly added a layer of body armor to himself.

Secondly, the second point is that although Zhu Yuanzhang nominally accepted Han Lin'er's recruitment, the actual control of the army was still in his own hands and was not handed over to Han Lin'er. It did not form a substantial conflict with the development of his own army. He should

Recruiting troops, reforming and recruiting good people, wanting to marry a wife, and taking concubines, he and Lin'er are as high as the sky and the emperor is far away, and he doesn't know what trouble is happening here.

If one day our strength fails and we are short of soldiers and food, we can still ask for money, soldiers, horses, and women from you, the Great Song Dynasty. After all, I am still under your management now, and you have to give me some money no matter what.

This is equivalent to adding a logistical supply line to yourself.

The third point, and the most important point, is that Han Lin'er's recruitment this time indirectly reduced many hostile opponents for him. After this recruitment, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to figure out which of the bad guys were standing against him.

Which teams are teammates he can use? Han Lin'er's doing this is tantamount to telling him the enemy's strategic distribution map.

He clearly told himself the distribution of the enemy's and our own armies.

I already know what to do next.

Who should be beaten, who should be used, I already know in my mind.

Of course, there are some disadvantages, that is, you will be controlled by others in the future, and you will no longer be able to go wherever you want as before.

But when you think about it, this disadvantage is nothing.

Isn't Han Lin'er already the emperor? Let him be. Then the Yuan army and this group of wolf cubs will definitely move at the smell and attack your buttocks. Then you guys will be able to worry less. After all, the Yuan Dynasty army is huge.

Now that everyone has been transferred, the men here will definitely not be so nervous.

At that time, I will be able to take the opportunity to recruit more troops. When you become more powerful in the future, no matter whether you are a dragon or a phoenix or a bastard, get out of here.

After the men gained military power and power, I became the eldest man with a strong waist.

I am the emperor.

You Han Lin'er, go ahead and do whatever you have to do.
