At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, political corruption made the people miserable. Farmers everywhere have revolted. The peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty was an armed struggle of peasants in China to resist and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the fact that the Yuan Army was too tired to cope with the Red Scarf Army in the north and too busy to look after the south, and adopted a series of effective measures to gradually develop and grow. We adopted the strategy of west first, then east, then strong and then weak. In specific operations, we should advance steadily, concentrate superior forces, cut branches and leaves first, and then shake their roots, so as to pacify and unify Jiangnan and lay a solid material and military foundation for going north to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

The famous slogan of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was just: "Taoist Mo has only one eye. When he is out of the world, he will turn against the world." Or "the one-eyed stone man provoked the Yellow River to rebel against the world." This slogan, like the Yellow Scarf Uprising, used superstition to resist tyranny.

During the peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty, readers were generally attracted by Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army. The establishment of the Ming Dynasty became synonymous with overthrowing the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. So many important chapters in the mainstream history of the Warring States period have been forgotten. Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Haozhou Rebel Army, became a son-in-law, a leader, an independent army, and left the quarry, so that the literati in eastern Zhejiang supported the construction of Gaocheng and the accumulation of grain, the Poyang Lake War, the destruction of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen and the Northern Expedition. These are all well-known histories. But before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang's army rarely fought with the main force of the Yuan Army. Because he founded the Ming Dynasty and became an emperor, he was not included in the hero list.

This uprising is the most typical one in ancient China. First of all, it has a religious background. Secondly, this is not only a peasant uprising, but also a national uprising. Third, it was the most successful Northern Expedition. Most of the other generations were from the south. Only Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded in the Northern Expedition and established a long-term regime. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, political corruption and ethnic hierarchy policy caused great public resentment. However, the Yuan Dynasty was still divided and there were many struggles. The demise of such a regime is only a matter of time. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not make the Northern Expedition, Chen Youliang would make the Northern Expedition, and the winner of the internal struggle in the Northern Yuan Dynasty would eventually usurp power. However, this time, the rebel strategy is still worth learning. At first, Han and Liu took Bailian religion and ethnic contradictions as the background, and they had a great momentum. Insurgents all over the country have raised the banner of the Red Scarf Army. The northern army once built its capital in the capital city of Bianliang, and the northern expeditionary army of the Third Road also hit Dadu.
