    In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang among the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang was the most famous person in China, and he was even more emperor than Zhu Yuanzhang.

    Chen Youliang's background is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, very lowly, their family is fishermen, fishermen are already looked down upon, plus their ancestors are sons-in-law, in order to live, even the ancestor's surname has been changed, and the social status is even lower. But it was from this background that Chen Youliang still changed his fate.

    At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mengyuan regime fell apart, Chen Youliang was working as a small civil servant in **, when he saw Xu Shouhui's rebel army, he was also moved, organized thousands of fishermen, launched an uprising, and began a vigorous anti-Yuan struggle.

    Among these heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there is a phenomenon that is very interesting, that is, the relationship between these kings and the Yuan Dynasty is far and near, one will have a common hatred, and the other will hold the stinky feet of the Yuan Dynasty and become officials of the Yuan Dynasty. Even Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the anti-Yuan matter.

    His family history is a history of continuous annexation of rebel armies, and Chen Youliang is an outlier, he has always insisted on the front line of anti-Yuan. No matter when he has not forgotten this original intention, Chen Youliang is also a hero worthy of our respect.

    The ruler of the Yuan Dynasty once issued an olive branch of Zhao'an to Chen Youliang's lord Xu Shouhui and others, but Chen Youliang resolutely opposed it, but instead expanded his own power and dealt a heavy blow to the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. It can be said that on the way to oppose the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang's army made the greatest contribution, far exceeding Zhu Yuanzhang. Chen Youliang's most criticized thing is that he killed his lord Xu Shouhui.

    Chen Youliang's ability was one of the best under Xu Shouhui, and soon he was constantly promoted, and all the military and political power was in his hands, and finally killed Xu Shouhui. This thing is not uncommon in the era of competition among heroes, didn't even Zhu Yuanzhang kill his titular boss Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er?

    As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang's actions were not criticized, and Chen Youliang did the same thing, but was widely criticized by later generations, is this a double standard? 50 steps to laugh and 100 steps, why bother?

    Of course, in the end, I have to mention the decisive battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang had 600,000 soldiers, and Zhu Yuanzhang only had 200,000. At that time, no matter from any point of view, Chen Youliang had an absolute advantage, but the winning side was Zhu Zhang.

    The reason is that Zhu Yuanzhang's tactical opponent, Chen Youliang made a faint move in a great situation, and fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's counter-plot.

    Kang Maocai deceived Chen Youliang, and Chen Youliang made the same mistake as Cao Cao in Chibi. In the face of a huge advantage, people's judgment has been reduced. Under the overwhelming superiority, the surrender of the enemy's generals was taken for granted and was not carefully screened.

    As a result, Chen, like Cao Cao, fell into the trick and entered Zhu Yuanzhang's ambush circle, but was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, thus losing the possibility of unifying the world.

    It should be said that Chen Youliang is a hero of a generation, a failed hero, and he insists on fighting against the Mengyuan invaders, which is worthy of praise for our descendants.

    There is this character, he is a generation of heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he is the only person who is hard with the Yuan Dynasty in the peasant uprising, and even Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily defected to the Yuan Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Yingtian, he successively destroyed Zhang Shicheng and other separatist forces, and began a head-on conflict with Chen Youliang, and the two armies fought at Poyang Lake, resulting in a great victory for Zhu Yuanzhang and a crushing defeat for Chen Youliang, thus withdrawing from the historical stage.

    Chen Youliang is real. He, along with Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, were famous generals of the peasant uprising in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty.

    In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the people were struggling to make a living. The common people are in dire straits. Therefore, at this time, as long as you dare to put up the banner, you will respond to the crowd, and Chen Youliang and others can respond to the trend in one hundred ways.

    In the ** depiction of history, Chen Youliang is a treacherous villain who does all kinds of evil. In fact, the real Chen Youliang can be regarded as an intellectual among the "fishmongers". His cultural level is much higher than that of Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

    Chen Youliang, whose original surname is Xie, changed his surname to Chen because his grandfather joined the Chen family.

    Why did the peasants of the past revolt? It's because I can't live.

    Zhu Yuanzhang once said something like this, if there is a baked cake to eat every day, I will not rebel. It can be said that the peasant uprising was forced to go to Liangshan.

    Chen Youliang also came up under such circumstances.

    In 1351, at the age of 31, Chen Youliang joined Xu Shouhui's rebel army and joined Ni Wenjun's command.

    In September 1357, the ambitious Ni Wenjun broke away from Xu Shouhui and proclaimed himself King Qin. led his troops to capture Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui and other places, and soon Ni Wenjun was destroyed by Chen Youliang.

    In 1359, Chen Youliang killed the general Zhao Pusheng, coerced Xu Shouhui to move the capital to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang), and established himself as the king of Han.

    In 1360, Chen Youliang captured Jiuzhou and beheaded Xu Shouhui. Immediately called the emperor, the name Han, changed the Yuan Dayi, appointed Zou Pusheng as the Taishi, and Zhang Bixian as the prime minister.

    In 1363, Chen Youliang thought the time was ripe. led an army of 600,000 to attack Zhu Yuanzhang. It stands to reason that Chen Youliang is determined to win this "battle of the century", but unfortunately he has committed a taboo.

    This battle is probably like this, Zhu Yuanzhang led the main force to the north to save King Xiaoming, causing Ying Tian to be empty.

    If Chen Youliang takes the opportunity to move eastward with the main force and attack Yingtian directly, Zhu Yuanzhang will be in a situation where Chen (Youliang) and Zhang (Shicheng) are in a situation where they are in a position where they are unable to advance or retreat, and the situation will be favorable to Chen Youliang.

    However, Chen Youliang did not do this, but aimed the spearhead of the attack at the small but strong Hongdu City, resulting in hundreds of thousands of land and water troops being placed in a small area, which was difficult; and did not send troops to guard the rivers and lakes, ignoring the way back, and was blocked and annihilated by Zhu Yuanzhang in Poyang Lake.

    Chen Youliang expelled the territory for 13 years, and he was superior to the "poor baby" Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of financial, material, and human resources, but in the end he failed, which is regrettable.

    In the end, the main reason is that Chen Youliang is stubborn and self-serving, irritable and suspicious, which leads to internal disintegration and low morale; Clumsy command, single tactics, joint formation, and difficulty in maneuvering were also the reasons for Chen Youliang's failure. Chen Youliang was finally killed by a stray arrow in the breakout. He was 44 years old.

    Chen Youliang (October 3, 1320, 1363), formerly known as Chen Jiusi, was a native of Chuyang, Hubei; One of the heroes of the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the founder of the Han regime in the late Yuan Dynasty of China.

    After Chen Youliang's death, Zhang Dingbian and others established Chen Youliang's second son Chen Li as emperor in Wuchang and changed his name to Yuan Deshou. In 1364, Zhu Yuanzhang's Western Wu Army Liao Yongzhong's troops came to Wuchang City, Chen Li surrendered, and the general trend of Deshou was gone.

    Chen Youliang was one of the leaders of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Xiang Zhichi, established the Han regime, and became an important force in overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty. Some netizens will ask, is there really such a person as Chen Youliang in history? If there really is a Li man, where have his descendants gone?

    This article reveals the secrets for you.

    The deeds of Chen Youliang are recorded in detail in the historical materials "Zhu Yuanzhang's Chronicles" and "History of the Ming Dynasty". In reality, because the peasant uprising led by him exacerbated the demise of the Yuan Dynasty and promoted historical progress, later generations still kept his cemetery in order to commemorate him, which is located on the south side of the Snake Mountain Bridge of the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, which is the only feudal emperor's mausoleum in Wuhan today.

    Born in 1320 and died in 1363, Chen Youliang was one of the leaders of the peasant revolt in the late Yuan Dynasty. He was born into a family of fishermen and organized an uprising in his hometown of Chuyang. Later, he took refuge in the Tianwan Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui, Zou Pusheng, Ni Wenjun and others, and because he went to private school for a few days, he first became a staff officer in the army, and then was promoted to the left deputy marshal with outstanding military achievements.

    Later, taking advantage of the internal strife in the Tianwan regime, he successively killed the generalissimo Ni Wenjun and the emperor Xu Shouhui, annexed their subordinates, and proclaimed himself king in Quarshiji, established the Great Han Dynasty, and named the year Dayi. After that, on the one hand, he continued to oppose the Yuan, and on the other hand, he attacked Zhu Yuanzhang, another anti-Yuan force. Because most of Chen's subordinates were old subordinates of Tianwan, they were very dissatisfied with his usurpation of power, and they turned against Zhu one after another during the attack.

    In 1363 AD, Chen Youliang was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Battle of Poyang Lake, and he was also killed by a stray arrow when he broke through, and a generation of heroes came to an end.

    For more than 600 years, in order to overthrow the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang organized a vigorous peasant uprising army until the establishment of the Han regime. After Chen Youliang lost to Zhu Yuanzhang, many people surnamed Chen were implicated at that time, and they were hunted down by Zhu Yuanzhang in the name of Chen Youliang's descendants, and finally they were forced to change their names and surnames, and they hid **So, where did Chen Youliang's descendants go?

    According to records, Zhu and Chen fought a decisive battle at Poyang Lake in order to compete for the world. As a result, Chen Youliang lost, died on the battlefield, and his subordinates were also captured. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he demoted his subordinates to untouchables and escorted them to Yanzhou Mansion (in present-day Jiande City) in Zhejiang, where they were exiled to the Xin'an River, where they were not allowed to live ashore, intermarry with people on the shore, study and take exams, or wear shoes ashore.

    As a result, for hundreds of years, the nine surnames of Chen, Qian, Lin, Li, Yuan, Sun, Ye, Xu, and He could only live on boats and take fishing as a business.
