With the courage to appoint people on their merits, Nanjing, which took the lead in capturing corrupt rule in 135 1, broke out in various places. The following year, Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing's men and was reused by Guo Zixing. Zhu Yuanzhang was very brave when he fought under Guo Zixing, and cleared many obstacles for Guo Zixing, so he was once highly valued. During this period, Guo Zixing first regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as a reliable soldier, and then raised himself.
In September, 15th year of Zheng Zhi, with the death of Guo Zixing's sons Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou, Zhu Yuanzhang led an army to forcibly break the cable and cross the river, as far as quarrying (now Maanshan, Anhui). Then it captured Qing Ji, which was later Yingtian, and took Yingtian as a springboard to gradually annex the surrounding towns. All the way to the siege, Zhu Yuanzhang not only showed the brave military talent as a general, but also was very good at appointing a series of sages such as Liu Bowen, a counselor, and Zhu Sheng, a Confucian scholar.
After Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Zhu's suggestion of building a wall, accumulating grain and slowly becoming king, he could have made great efforts to realize his ambition of unifying the world immediately, but at that time, the general trend of the world was not obvious, and there were many uprising troops, which were in a state of disintegration. The rebel army led by Zhu Yuanzhang has just broken the cable to cross the river and entered Yingtian, and its foundation is still not stable. At that time, the famous Confucian advised Zhu Yuanzhang to build a wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been a warrior, carefully analyzed some suggestions for promotion and resolutely adopted them. So when the rebels were fighting each other outside, they were trying their best to preserve their strength, which laid the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang to take Yingtian as a springboard, gradually unify the world, and successfully proclaimed himself emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang was proclaimed emperor. Xu Da, Tanghe, Deng Yu and others have made great contributions to Xu Da. He was the founding hero of Zhu Yuanzhang who unified the world and established the Ming Dynasty. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has the foundation to become a general. After joining the army, he shared weal and woe with the soldiers. In the army, he is not only dignified, but also deeply loved by soldiers. The military commanders were brave and good at fighting, and the soldier Qi Xin saved Xu Da's life. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang has been a playmate since childhood, and the two have deep feelings. Zhu Yuanzhang affectionately called him the Great Wall of Wan Li in the Ming Dynasty.
Tanghe has been at Zhu Yuanzhang's side, carefully. He kept his mouth shut about state affairs and made great contributions to the governance of the Ming Dynasty, which was unanimously praised by everyone. Deng Yu was born a burly man. He has been a soldier all his life. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang for more than 20 years and was loyal to him. Every time he charged, he rushed to the front line and did not flinch at all. He can be regarded as a pillar figure established in the Ming Dynasty.
