No sooner had Zhu Yuanzhang started the war than his brother died. Later, his brother's wife came to him with her nephew. Now that everyone is here, Zhu Yuanzhang raised them and was closer to him than to his own son. Zhu is very good at using troops. On one occasion, he led troops to cross the river and captured Qing Ji Road. Because he could achieve very good results in every war, Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated his nephew very much.
After being promoted to confidant by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Zhengwen has always been the main force of Zhu Yuanzhang's core. He will participate in various wars every time and has a good record, so his position in the military is also very high. When Guo Zixing died, Zhu Yuanzhang was very annoyed with Guo Tianxu's land grab. At this time, Zhu showed outstanding military command ability, coupled with the blood relationship between Zhu and Zhu Yuanzhang, and was later promoted to a higher position by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In fact, Zhu could easily get a comfortable position by relying on his uncle, but he won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang by virtue of his own ability. Zhu showed his real strength in the "Changzhou War". At that time, Nanjing and Suzhou were the territories of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng, and Changzhou was also the key place, so whoever got it was more favorable. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang let Xu Da attack, and it didn't work at all. Later, Xu Da was not reused by Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, Zhang Shicheng was cornered by Zhu. Later, Zhu Zai's position was also very high. Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation of Zhu, Zhu had a rebellious mentality and was finally placed under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang.
