In the flames of the civil uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a secret history of Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, was revealed, how did he perform a thrilling water battle on Poyang Lake, and how did he change from a fake emperor to a real king? All of this has to start with the king ceremony.
The grand ceremony of the king ceremony has just ended, but Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is turbulent. He has just accepted the title of King Ming and has become the King of Wu, the Duke of Zunguo, the Prime Minister of Jialing Zuo, and the right to control the soldiers and horses in the world. However, his mind was not on glory, but on the person who did not attend the ceremony of sealing the king - Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang's military advisor, has always assisted Zhu Yuanzhang with his profound wisdom. At this ceremony, he did not attend, but laughed with people under the castle. His absence made Zhu Yuanzhang feel uneasy. He knew that what Liu Bowen could see was the truth behind the self-proclaimed drama.
Sure enough, Hu Weiyong's arrival brought Liu Bowen's words. He said that King Xiao Ming was a fake emperor and would not live long. This sentence, like a bombshell, is in Zhu Yuanzhang's brain. He knew that Liu Bowen's words often foreshadowed the coming wind and rain.
He was in a hurry to meet Chen Youliang, handed over 40,000 soldiers and horses to Queen Ma to guard Jinling City, and then asked Hu Weiyong to tell all the commanders of the rebels in the world, telling them that Zhu Yuanzhang had been named the king of Wu, and he was ordered by the king to control all the rebels in the world to crusade against Chen Youliang.
However, Chen Youliang's army of 600,000 was like a wolf and a tiger on Poyang Lake. Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000 troops, under the oppression of Chen Youliang, appeared so vulnerable. His warship was smashed to pieces by Chen Youliang's warship, and his soldiers were rained down by Chen Youliang's archers.
The Battle of Poyang Lake was the most difficult battle in Zhu Yuanzhang's life. He watched his soldiers fall one by one, and his heart was like a knife. However, he can't retreat, he knows that once he retreats, it will be tantamount to giving up the country to others.
Just when he was almost desperate, Xu Da stood up. He came up with a strategy of fire attack, filled the boat with gunpowder, and crashed into Chen Youliang's warship. This trick really worked, Chen Youliang's warship was blown to pieces, and his soldiers were blown to pieces.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was both joy and sorrow. Joyfully, he finally won the battle, sadly, he lost too many soldiers. He knew that this victory was won with the blood of countless soldiers.
However, he couldn't let his guard down either. Because, he knows, this battle is only the beginning of his unification of the world. He still has a long way to go, and many enemies to take down.
The victory in the Battle of Poyang Lake brought Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige to its peak. However, he did not have time to celebrate, because his enemies were still waiting for his relaxation. He knew that he had to be vigilant at all times to keep his country. And he will continue to show his wisdom and courage in the following battles. If you want to know how Zhu Yuanzhang will unify the world next, please look forward to the next episode.
