Chapter 254 The First Hero
Xu Da said modestly, "Haha, other people have also made great contributions. Of course, Your Majesty is the most awesome," Xu Da flattered Zhu Yuanzhang.
In Xu Da's opinion, his brother Zhu Yuanzhang is really awesome, and of course he thinks he is pretty good too.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard Xu Da's words and smiled, "This Xu Da."
It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with Xu Da, and he is also panicked. The little immortal said that almost all of the ministers who founded the country with him had a bad ending. How could he not be panicked?
However, he also knew that they would not dare to harbor any rebellious thoughts. In addition, with his promise and the medicine bestowed by the immortal, Biao'er and the Queen would not die early, so the ministers did not have to worry about them being killed later.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did commit murder, he was still normal when Empress Ma and the Crown Prince were around.
Can be persuaded.
The people in front of the sky curtain also understood that he was the founding father of the Ming Dynasty. No wonder.
The founding military generals are generally very capable fighters.
"What senior Xu Da said is true. Naturally, other people have also made contributions, especially Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who destroyed the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. This is an indelible achievement." Many people disliked Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
I think he is too cruel and especially likes to skin people. How can this not be scary?
So when he was mentioned, I frowned subconsciously.
Moreover, most of the ministers who followed him to conquer the world died at his hands, and there were also a series of policies.
But it is undeniable that he was indeed amazing and strong. He went from having nothing to becoming the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he achieved every step by himself.
Among the emperors in history, no one had a lower starting point than Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was a minor official, a village head.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he couldn't even afford to eat and was so poor that he had to beg for food, so Li Wu still admired him very much.
He cares about the people and truly thinks about them. Because he himself comes from the lower class, he understands the people better than many people.
He was not extravagant and lived a very simple life. It was after the death of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao that he went completely crazy.
The early stage was still very good.
If it were anyone else, they would probably collapse, wouldn't they?
He went through so many hardships, losing his father when he was young, his wife when he was middle-aged, and his son in his old age.
All these happened to the same person, how could he accept it?
"When I think of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, I feel that he had a very miserable life, but it can be said that he finally had his fill," Li Wu said with a smile. The protagonist now is Senior Xu Da.
Xu Da didn't say much, just nodded.
"Senior Xu Da, you are the right-hand man of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and also his sworn brother.
He was also praised by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty as the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and the first meritorious official in the founding of the Ming Dynasty."
This couldn't help but make Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui look at him with higher regard. Wow, this General Xu Da was actually the sworn brother of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His identity must be extraordinary.
No wonder he had a happy ending.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu also made great contributions. I don't deserve it. I am the greatest hero. I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it," Xu Da shook his head repeatedly. Of course, he was not the only one fighting in the war.
The others are also very powerful.
If he were to acknowledge this as the first meritorious person, he would feel embarrassed to do so because the contributions of others were also very great.
"Senior Xu Da, whose given name is Xu Da, courtesy name Tiande, is the King of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty.
You were born during the Yuan Dynasty, when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, so the Han people lived a very hard life.
He was from Yongfeng Township, Zhongli, Haozhou, and came from a farming family.
Life was so hard back then, not having enough food to eat and not having warm clothes to wear was the norm.”
"That's right. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty ruled and we Han people had the lowest status. They didn't treat us as human beings at all," Xu Da shook his head, somewhat indignantly.
Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui also frowned. The foreigners were in power and would never look down on the Han people. They would just beat and kill them at will.
They didn't have to think too much to guess how miserable the Han people's lives were at that time.
As for the barrage, the Yuan Dynasty was criticized and cursed by the Han people of all dynasties.
The people of the Yuan Dynasty were silent and did not want to speak. There were too many of them and it was difficult to scold them, so they just pretended not to see anything.
"Fortunately, the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown, and it should have been overthrown long ago. But they were just a foreign race, and we never recognized them." The Han people would not recognize those foreign races as their emperors, and all they had was a blood feud.
“You have been learning martial arts since you were young, and you have acquired great skills.
In 1352, 22-year-old senior Xu Da joined the army.
At that time, Guo Zixing gathered people to revolt and planned to capture Haozhou. Many people in Haozhou joined in the uprising.
At that time, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also joined Guo Zixing's subordinate at the invitation of Tang He.
Senior Xu Da, you have also started your military career.
After joining the rebel army, Senior Xu Da, you followed Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to conquer many places one after another. At that time, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was famous and talented, and won the admiration of many people.
At that time, Guo Zixing had a disagreement with Sun Deya and others who worked with him.
Zhao Junyong and Peng Da, who occupied Xuzhou, were defeated and fled to Haozhou.
In short, it was a rather chaotic time, with many people rising up in rebellion and wanting to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.
So naturally there are many rebel forces.”
Xu Da nodded. Who wouldn’t want to take a chance?
The emperors in front of the sky were somewhat happy, because the one they overthrew was a foreign race, and they supported it immensely.
They were opposed to foreigners becoming emperors in the Central Plains. They would not recognize anyone from the Yuan Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty.
If you dare to show up, they will scold you.
"Guo Zixing was no match for them and was nearly killed.
At that time, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty felt that it was no longer possible to accomplish anything great in Haozhou, so he left Haozhou with Senior Xu Da, Senior Tang He and fourteen other people.
We advanced south to Dingyuan and captured Chuzhou. During this process, Senior Xu Da, you led the charge and stood out, drawing people's attention to your extraordinary strength.
In 1355, because Chuzhou had little food and grass, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to attack Hezhou to make it easier to raise food and grass.
Senior Xu Da, you led the troops first and captured Hezhou together with Tang He and others.
Senior Xu Da, you were promoted to the position of pacification because of your contribution in conquering Hezhou.
What kind of official is this Zhenfu?" Li Wu asked curiously. He was too low-ranking to know much about it.
Xu Da smiled and said, "In fact, he is not an official of high rank. He is just responsible for maintaining the army and calming people's hearts."
After listening to Xu Da's explanation, Li Wu understood that it was not a regular army at all. It was just people from all over the country who gathered together to revolt. With so many people, there would be many conflicts.
"After conquering Hezhou, Sun Deya's troops came to Hezhou to ask for help from Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty because they were short of food and fodder.
The Ming Taizu naturally put aside past grudges and took in the enemy's troops.
When Guo Zixing heard this, he hurried over and scolded Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
When Sun Deya saw Guo Zixing coming, he was afraid that he would be killed by him, so he sneaked away.
The Emperor Taizu of Ming tried to persuade him to stay but to no avail, so he had no choice but to send him away. "
