Chang Yuchun was truly recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang in the battle to capture the Quarry. 1June 355, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to cross the river south and tried to attack Qing Ji (now Nanjing). There is a dangerous place outside Qing Ji, guarding the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. It's called Quarrying. If you want to occupy Qing Ji, you must take this place first. At that time, it was Man Zi Haig, marshal of the water army of the Yuan Dynasty, who defended the Rocky Mountain with the help of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and the dangerous terrain along the river. It is quite difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to capture the quarry.
Sure enough, after the general attack, the Yuan Army stuck to Cai Shiqi and attacked with bows and arrows? Zhu jiajun? At that time, the arrow clusters were like locusts, on the Yangtze River? Zhu jiajun? Like a living target, there are countless casualties. At the critical moment, I saw a brave man in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, unstoppable, driving a boat in the rapids. With a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, he pulled out the arrows that Kaiyuan Army kept shooting like locusts. When the ship approached the shore, the Yuan army attacked him with a spear. He grabbed the spear with his bare hands and jumped to the shore. Then rushed into the enemy lines, left and right, like nobody's business to kill. Yuan Bing fell to his sword in shock. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed to see this scene. He took advantage of the opportunity to command the army to land, and the Yuan army was invincible and annihilated. The insurgents defeated the Yuan Army in The Hague, Man Zi. This brave and invincible soldier is Chang Yuchun, 25 years old. Therefore, he became famous and won the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Chang Yuchun was recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang, it was out of control. He has a nickname, man? Often 100 thousand? Because he once claimed that he could run the country with 100 thousand troops. He participated in Zhu Yuanzhang's major battle in Jiangnan. Especially Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang? Poyang Lake War? In the middle, he calmly shoots with a bow and arrow? The first warrior at the end of Yuan Dynasty? Zhang Dingbian saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to Chang Yuchun, and his most trusted and beloved Prince Zhu Biao married Chang Yuchun's eldest daughter. Zhu Yuanzhang once praised Chang Yuchun: If a million people climb the first place bravely, they will be invincible, just like the deputy general of Xinchun. ? Chang Yuchun, together with general Xu Da, went to the Northern Expedition in Yuan Dynasty to destroy the world, which made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Daming Dynasty, and made him a military attache in Chinese calligraphy, a prince with little protection, and lord protector, Hubei.
In the second year of Hongwu, Chang Yuchun led an army to the Northern Expedition to the remnant Yuan, which won a great victory. Just as he returned from Kaiping to Liuhe (now west of Longguan County, Hebei Province), Chang Yuchun died of sudden illness in the army at the age of forty. Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad to learn of the loss of his beloved general, and wrote a poem mourning: I have a thousand lines of pig iron juice, and I have never cried for my children in my life. Suddenly I heard that I was often killed yesterday, and my tears were wet. Chang Yuchun, as a hero who was buried with the Ming Tombs, was buried under the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum outside Nanjing Taiping Gate, and personally attended his funeral. He was also named King Kaiping, who deserved to enjoy the ancestral temple.
Chang Yuchun's short life was as gorgeous as fireworks. He is like a master of kendo, and his hands are like electricity. Before anyone could react, he was sealed by a sword. He has fought all his life and never failed. He was one of the most outstanding military generals in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. His cooperation with Xu Da is even more seamless. For the first time, the Han regime fought the nomadic people in the form of cavalry against cavalry, and it did not fall in the wind.
But there are also rumors among the people that Chang Yuchun was addicted to murder, killed all the prisoners and surrendered to the enemy soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang made up for his educational knowledge of being kind to prisoners, which led to a lot of convergence. As the old saying goes, killing is ominous. I don't know if this is one of the reasons for his early death.
