So how will Zhu Yuanzhang treat his wife and children after defeating Chen Youliang in the Poyang Lake water war? In the 23rd year of Yuan Dynasty (1363), Chen Youliang, Emperor Gaozu, commanded 600,000 troops and aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu who occupied Jinling. Chen Youliang's mobilization slogan is loud and clear: the first battle is decisive battle, and the first battle must be done. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang only occupied 33 counties in five states near Jinling, but why was he identified as a sworn enemy by Chen Youliang?
On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang preached righteousness first, and respected Xiao Ming as the Lord of the world's rebel army, which made Chen Youliang, who ascended the throne by killing the Lord, hate his guts; On the other hand, Chen Youliang occupied Jiangxi, Huguang and other places. If we can defeat Zhu Yuanzhang and occupy Jinling, we will be able to link our own turf and fight head-on with Zhang Shicheng, which is entrenched in Jiangsu, and Fang Guozhen, which is located in eastern Zhejiang. These insurgents have the strongest military strength. To defeat Zhu Yuanzhang is to sit on the rich south of the Yangtze River and compete with Yuan Ting for the world. Unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky. Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops stormed Hongdu (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) for three months, and never broke the city. Zhu Yuanzhang led 200,000 troops to Poyang Lake for a decisive battle. With the help of fire attack, the Han army in Tiesuo Lian Zhen was completely annihilated. Chen Youliang was killed by an arrow when he retreated, and the Poyang Lake water war ended in Zhu Yuanzhang's overall victory.
Chen Youliang and his two younger brothers, Chen He, died on the battlefield, and Prince Chen Shaner was captured and killed. Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang pursued the victory, led the army to personally levy Wuchang, and the Dahan regime was completely destroyed. Zhu Yuanzhang treated the Chen Youliang family well. His father, Chen Pucai, was made a benefactor, his second son, Chen Li, was made a noble man, his eldest brother, Chen Youzhi, was made a Wyenbo. In the Ming Dynasty, the rank of the fifth rank was called the concubine of the hero, and from high to low, it was male, hou, bo, zi and male. Chen Youliang is Zhu Yuanzhang's sworn enemy, but his family was named as the second Hou and the second Bo, which is really kind. But these are just appearances. In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to move to Chuyang (now Chuzhou, Anhui). Interested friends can check the map. The purpose of putting Chen Pu under his nose is nothing more than to facilitate monitoring. Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang also moved Hou, who returned to Germany, to North Korea with Xiahou, the son of Ming Taizu, which was even more unacceptable than being sent to the frontier. Chen Li lived a hard life like a prisoner in North Korea. Korean king Li Fangyuan is very kind. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, he was given some fields and a handmaid. The most shameful thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang took Chen Youliang's concubine room as his own, and did not shy away from it. He said wearing a big coat he wrote. Before the world was stable, I conquered the city and fought side by side with wolves for fourteen years. I never took a woman with me in the army. Only after the invasion of Wuchang, angered by Chen Youliang's repeated attacks, he returned with his concubine. ? The enemy's concubine was called Princess Yue (Princess Dading), and later she gave birth to Qi's seven sons Zhu Chu and Tan's eight sons Zhu Zi. It is even more widely rumored in unofficial history that Princess Yue later gave birth to Chen Youliang's posthumous son, and because of plotting revenge, the whole family set themselves on fire and died after it was exposed.
Zhu Yuanzhang is a vengeful man. He is kind to the Chen Youliang family mainly because these people are no longer a threat to him and want to win people's hearts. In order to vent his anger, he executed Prince Chen Shaner and took the concubine of his enemy as revenge. Is not enough to trap to feel avenged, simply send the descendants of the Chen family abroad, let him die, put Chen Youliang's father under the nose, keep track of their every move. So-called? Small is not a gentleman, non-toxic is not a husband? Zhu Yuanzhang is a man who won the essence.
