Yuan Zhang first appeased 3,000 militiamen from Zhangjiabao Donkey Village, and then recruited 800 people from the head of the open-nosed Qin. Commanding this team, Zhu Yuanzhang marched eastward, attacked the Yuan army camp in Hengjian Mountain in Dingyuan by night, and Marshal Miao Daheng surrendered. Zhu Yuanzhang selected 20,000 strong Han people from the surrendered army to join his own team and went south to Chuzhou.
On the way south to Chuzhou, Li Shanchang, a celebrity in Dingyuan, went to the military gate to ask for a meeting. Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang hit it off at first sight, and Li Shanchang used Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, as an example to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang: As long as he follows Liu Bang's good knowledge and does not kill people indiscriminately, he will soon be able to calm the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was very reasonable, so he left Li Shanchang as the secretary of the shogunate, and instructed Li Shanchang to coordinate the relationship between the generals and create a great cause together.
Zhu Yuanzhang soon captured Chuzhou, and his nephew Zhu Wenzheng and brother-in-law Li Zhen brought their nephew Bao'er (later named Li Wenzhong) to take refuge. From them, Zhu Yuanzhang learned that the second brother, third brother, and sister had all died. At that time, there was also Mu Ying, an orphan in Dingyuan, so Zhu Yuanzhang adopted these three children as adopted sons and changed his surname to Zhu.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted more than 20 righteous sons.
When Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Chuzhou, Guo Zixing was squeezed out by Zhao Junyong, Sun Deya and others, so not long after Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chuzhou City, Guo Zixing also came to Chuzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately handed over the military power, the team of 30,000 people, the discipline was strict, the army was neat, and Guo Zixing was very happy to see it.
In 1355, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Hexian in one fell swoop. Guo Zixing immediately appointed Zhu Yuanzhang as the chief military officer to guard Hezhou. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang went out and saw a child crying, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him why he was crying, and replied that he was waiting for his father.
Zhu Yuanzhang inquired carefully and learned that the child's father and mother were in the barracks, and the father was raising horses in the camp, and the mother and father did not dare to recognize each other, so they had to be called brother and sister. Zhu Yuanzhang realized that there was a problem with the military discipline of the troops, and after they broke through the city, they disturbed the people and made trouble, and abducted women, and if this continued, the troops would lose the support of the people. So, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the generals, affirmed discipline, and ordered the return of the husband's wife in the army, so that many separated couples in the city could be reunited.
This matter was widely praised, and Zhu Yuanzhang won the hearts of the people.
In the middle of this year, Guo Zixing died of illness, and Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, appointed Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianxu as the marshal of the capital, his brother-in-law Zhang Tianyou as the right deputy marshal, and Zhu Yuanzhang as the left deputy marshal. Nominally, Marshal Du is the master of the army, and the status of the right deputy marshal is also higher than that of the left deputy marshal. However, the armies of Chuzhou and Hezhou were mostly recruited and incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was braver and more resourceful than Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou, and he had talents under him.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang actually became the coach of this team.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was stationed in western Zhejiang for 6 years, with the help of the secret Mingjiao rudder centered on the Covered Boat Mountain, and pursued the strategy of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king" put forward by Zhu Sheng, a strategist in Huizhou, and quickly and secretly expanded his own strength, and these three strategies were the guiding ideology of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early stage of development.
