The first two chapters wrote "The Stand of the Melons" about the assassination of the Xiao Ming King by Zhu Yuanzhang. Some people have some questions about this, so Xiao Jing will briefly talk about it here.

Han Lin'er was the first general to promote righteousness in the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. She was once respected as the common leader by the Red Turban Army in the north, so she was always regarded as the two most important leaders of the Red Central Army at that time. However, the two of them were the last ones.

The historical records of how to sacrifice are unclear, and later generations have speculated on this and have many controversial issues.

Historical records: Han Lin'er officially became emperor in Haozhou (Anhui County) in February of the 15th year of Zhizheng. In December of the same year, he had to move to Anfeng (Anhui Shou County) due to the siege of Haozhou by the Yuan army. In the fifth year of Zhizheng, he was sieged by the Yuan army.

In the month, Liu Futong went north to capture Bianliang (Kaifeng, Henan) and welcomed Han Lin'er to live there. In August of the following year, the Yuan army Chahan Timur captured Bianliang. Han Lin'er and Liu Futong had to abandon tens of thousands of officials, soldiers and their

The family hurriedly fled back to Anfeng. In the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Zhang Shicheng, a separatist who occupied the south, took advantage of the failure of the Red Turban Army's northern expedition and fought hard to save the Yuan army and sent general Lu Zhen to lead an army of 200,000 (some say only 100,000).

), attacked Anfeng from behind, and Anfeng was quickly besieged. During the war, Han Lin'er had to send an edict to Zhu Yuanzhang for help.

On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang considered that Zhang Shicheng could not expand his territory and power so easily, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use this to control the Ming Dynasty King Han Lin'er, and used the emperor to strengthen his power to the princes, and planned to send troops to rescue Anfeng. However, the strategist Liu Ji tried his best.

Oppose it, believing that if Chen Youliang sneaked into Yingtian (Nanjing), Zhu Yuanzhang's rear would be completely lost. Even without this threat, it would be quite difficult to deal with the rescued Han Lin'er and Liu Futong.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not see this obstacle, and hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not obey Liu Bowen's advice. After hesitating, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to lead a large army to rescue Anfeng.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's army set out, Chen Youliang also set out. Fortunately, Chen Youliang went to besiege Nanchang at this time. Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng's army led by Lu Zhen without any worries and lifted the siege of Anfeng. But Han Lin'er and Liu Futong failed to persevere.

By this moment, Anfeng City had been broken before reinforcements arrived, and the whereabouts and life and death of Han and Liu became the focus of people's debate.

Many people believe that Liu Futong was killed in Anfeng, while Han Liner moved his capital to Chuzhou (Chu County, Anhui).

Xiao Jing also looked up a lot of information about this issue, and here I explain it one by one: "Gu Yingtai's "The End of the Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty" Volume 4 "Taizu Pingwu" said: "In February of the 23rd year, Zhang Shangcheng and Lu Zhen led the crowd, and they all

Ten thousand people surrounded Liu Futong in Anfeng, and the Futong interlude sent people to ask for help. Zhen defeated Anfeng, killed Liu Futong, and occupied his city. Han Liner went to Chuzhou."

The records of many historical books such as Zhang Tingyu of the Qing Dynasty, Xia Xie's Ming Tongjian, Bi Yuan's Xuzhi Tongjian and "The Records of Taizu of Ming Dynasty" are similar to those of them. It is speculated that Liu Futong may have been able to defend Anfeng and

After being killed, Han Liner broke through the siege and went to Chuzhou. When Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements arrived, he was able to save his life. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang built a large-scale construction in Chuzhou and placed Han Liner under house arrest in a luxurious palace. In this way, he used Zhang Shicheng's hand to get rid of the difficult Liu Futong

He was able to use the emperor to command the princes to inherit the remaining troops and territory of the Red Turban Army. Zhu Yuanzhang reaped great profits.

By the 26th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang almost wiped out all the powerful competitors from the north and the south, and Han Lin'er also lost the value of exploitation. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly instructed his general Liao Yongzhong to welcome Han Lin'er into Yingtian (Nanjing) to promote the

He drowned in the Yangtze River in Guabu. This theory is the most widely circulated, and contemporary historians such as Wu Han and Jian Bozan all adhere to this theory, so it almost became a conclusion.

There is one theory, and there is a second theory. Many of them believe that Liu Futong was killed by Yu Anfeng, and Zhu Yuanzhang rescued Han Lin'er and brought him back to Yingtian.

According to the volume 2 of Gao Dai's "Hongyoulu" in Zhengde years of the Ming Dynasty, "Song Shiben": "Zhang Shicheng sent his general Lu Zhen to lead his troops to attack Anfeng, Futong sent an envoy to Jiankang (Nanjing) for help, and the emperor (Zhu Yuanzhang) led his own

All the generals rescued him. Before he arrived, Lu Zhen captured Anfeng, killed Futong, and occupied his city. In March, he arrived at Anfeng, attacked Lu Zhen, and defeated him. Zhen abandoned the city and left.

The emperor then gave the Song lord Han Lin'er to return to Jinling.

Cha Jizuo's "Record of Sin", Lang Ying's "Seven Revisions" and Chen Bangzhan's "Records of the Yuan Dynasty" are briefly the same. When talking about Qian's "Guoqian", it believes that Han Liner went to Chuzhou first and then went with Zhu Yuanzhang to respond.

It is certainly not impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to take Han Liner with him after he lifted the siege of Anfeng to manipulate and use it at any time. However, this theory believes that Han Liner died in Yingtian in the 26th year of Zhizheng, but

It aroused many people's suspicion because this fact is not found in official history and most notes. On the contrary, Han Lin'er died in Guabu, which was shared by everyone.

For the same reason, Qian Qianyi, a native of the late Ming Dynasty, strongly denounced this theory as "inheriting the error of novelists", and few contemporary historians have adopted this theory.

There is another saying that Liu Futong and Han Liner drowned at Guabu at the same time. According to the "Gengshen Foreign Histories", "The King of Xiao Ming stationed troops in Anfeng, attacked Zhang Shicheng's siege, took advantage of the dark rain, and lived in Chuzhou.

At that time, Zhu Zhenfu (Zhu Yuanzhang) brought boats to welcome Jiankang. The King of Xiaoming and Liu Taibao (Liu Futong) went to Guazhou Ferry (Southeast of Liuhe, Jiangsu). When the boat was swept and waves, Liu Taibao and Xiaoming King were both dead." Wu

Kuan's "Ping Wu Lu", modern Ke Shao-jin's "New Yuan History" and contemporary historian Lu Zhenyu's "Concise General History of China".

Judging from historical records, Han Lin'er has indeed given up the capital many times in times of crisis and found a new home. Therefore, it was natural for Zhang Shicheng to siege and Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements to take the opportunity to break through to Chuzhou when Zhang Shicheng's troops were besieged and Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements had not arrived for a long time.

However, some people pointed out that Liu Futong was no longer seen in historical records after the Battle of Anfeng. It is doubtful that he was drowned at this time. Based on Liu Futong's personality and experience, since he still has the ability to break out,

I won't be willing to live under someone else's roof.

But in Xiao Jing's opinion, an important reason why Liu Ji pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes against the rescue of Anfeng was also difficult for Liu Futong to control, so Xiao Jing felt that Liu Futong's chances of being killed in Anfeng were still relatively high.

Of course, neither side of the debate was able to provide true and undoubted evidence as to whether Liu Futong died in Anfeng or Guabu.

Looking through the history books of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, all the records of Liu Futong and Han Liner's death are almost a few words, either vague or vague. In fact, the root cause is that Wei Yuanzhang is unwilling to publicize too much that he once regarded Han Liner as the leader of the alliance.

Historical facts are unwilling to bear the blame for killing Han Lin'er or Liu Futong, so they do not hesitate to secretly instruct people to cover up or even tamper with history. Today, people study history based on these incomplete, incomplete historical materials, and loopholes, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of talks.
