Although in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a relatively ordinary family at first, and there were no senior officials in his ancestors. They were all poor people for generations, and his parents died when he was very young. When I was young, I went out to make a living. Later, in order to survive, he once became a monk, but under the overall situation at that time, the temple could not guarantee the survival of everyone. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to travel and beg without any choice.
During his travels, Zhu Yuanzhang deeply felt the hardships of the people. Seeing that the people were in dire straits because of the war, he felt that he should contribute his own strength. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be a nominal army and treat the people well. With his performance, he was quickly selected by the leaders. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang began to cultivate his own power slowly, and later left the original rebel army to start his own struggle. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as powerful as Chen Youliang, and Chen Youliang was hundreds of thousands more powerful than Zhu Yuanzhang. However, after establishing his own army, Zhu Yuanzhang always put the word "righteousness" first to his subordinates, so he also gained a lot of trust.
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang was a narrow-minded person, so many of his men refused to accept Chen Youliang. Slowly, Chen Youliang's army began to lose morale and even lost to Zhu Yuanzhang in the battle. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's power became more and more powerful, and because Zhu Yuanzhang was also very preferential to prisoners in the war, more and more people followed Zhu Yuanzhang, and then the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang also wiped out Zhang Shicheng's power. Zhu Yuanzhang's position in the volunteer army is getting higher and higher, and he finally defeated the Yuan army and became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
