The Imperial City is located in the central area of ​​the southern part of the city. The east wall is on the west side of today's North and South River, the west wall is at the root of today's West Imperial City, the north wall is south of today's Dianmen Gate, and the south wall is on the east side of today's Xihuamen Street.

The palace city is located in the east of the imperial city, and its construction is extremely prosperous.

There were a few lights in the Imperial City, but the ancient ruins and towering ancient trees covered it up, so a little fire was better than nothing. The Imperial City was still dark, except for the Imperial City in the southeast that was ablaze.

There was not a single soul in the entire imperial city. All this was due to a tall building standing in the center of the capital. There was a big bell hanging on the tall building, which rang the bell every night. After the third bell, no one was allowed to walk in the street.

Walking on the road. Unless there is an emergency, such as a pregnant woman giving birth or someone who is sick and must go out to see a doctor, exceptions can be made. However, if such a situation occurs, those who go out must

"You must carry a lantern." "At night, a team of thirty or forty patrols patrols the streets constantly, checking to see if anyone leaves home during the curfew time - that is, after the third bell rings. Those caught immediately

Arrest and imprisonment." Due to such strange regulations, not a single person could be seen inside or outside the capital, which also reduced the resistance for Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's army to successfully enter the imperial city.

After more than an hour of rapid marching, Chang Yuchun's five thousand cavalry took the lead in arriving outside the imperial city wall. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at each other. This capital city that had been lost for more than four hundred years was right in front of them.

, even though the two of them have experienced hundreds of battles, they can't help but feel excited at this moment.

Xu Da was about to launch an attack when he suddenly heard Chang Yuchun say in surprise: "Brother Xu, do you see——?"

Xu Da's heart was slightly shaken, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that we were ambushed?" Looking in the direction pointed by Chang Yuchun, although there were no lights, the light reflected from the imperial city could still be seen clearly, and all he could see was the imperial city.

In the direction of Xizhimen, a pair of people and horses were surging rapidly. Xu Da made a visual inspection and found that the number of people was only more than 3,000.

"Brother Xu, what should we do now?" Chang Yuchun turned his face and asked.

Now we are going deep into the territory of the Tatars. We are most afraid that they will be discovered by the Tatars before we have achieved our goal. It will be a place of eternal disaster. The imperial city is strong, the food and grass are abundant, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is a capable person.

Aiyou Shili Dala was watching from the side, so it was not impossible to kill them.

Xu Da thought for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "General Chang, does everything depend on you?"

Chang Yuchun was stunned for a moment, then understood and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu wants me to capture these Tatars?"

Xu Da nodded and said: "That's it. If they find out, it's better to take them down first. In this way, we can also find out what the Tatars are doing. I see this group of people heading towards Xizhimen, staying together."

I really want to launch an attack on Xizhimen again. My little brother has just experienced a fight and his vitality has been severely damaged. If we can't hold on and release the Tatars, will you and I fall short?"

Chang Yuchun nodded and said: "Brother Xu is right, my younger brother will take them down now?"

Chang Yuchun's five thousand cavalry rushed over, their movements as fast as wind and fierce as fire, their scimitars gleaming with cold light, and the cold air was overwhelming.

The moving Tatar army heard the noise and turned around. In the night, they saw thousands of cavalry coming on horseback. The men on the horses were dressed in Ming army uniforms and had swords swinging in their hands. When they saw all this clearly, the Tatars

He wanted to scream, but it was too late. Chang Yuchun's cavalry moved as fast as the wind, and the scimitar in his hand had already struck the enemy's head.

A great massacre began.

"Brother Chang, stop it quickly - stop it quickly -?" Xu Da shouted secretly when he saw this: "Confused" had to shout loudly, but the fighting cavalry stopped somewhere, and the scimitar was like a reminder. The Tatar army that was still surging just moments ago was killed in an instant. At this moment, only one person was left in front of him, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, with the skin on his forehead already broken.

"Brother Chang, are you left alive?" Xu Da screamed and rushed over on horseback to look at the scene of a river of blood in front of him. Xu Da sighed softly and wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Chang Yuchun has always been known for his bravery in battles, but he also has a very immoral flaw, that is, he likes to massacre cities and leaves no grass behind wherever he goes. With a strong bow and scimitar, good riding and shooting, he can fight one against a hundred. , without a single defeat.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do about this. He often gave advice, even deprived him of military honors, and issued orders and scolds, but he turned a deaf ear. Almost every time he captured a city, he was busy massacring the city, and killing and surrendering was common. Once, he panicked in his sleep. Suddenly remembering the humiliation of his childhood, he ordered the massacre of the city. When he woke up, he found that none of the sergeants were in the army, so he asked the nearest sergeant: The general ordered the massacre of the city. Chang Yuchun immediately broke out in a cold sweat and urgently ordered the troops to withdraw. At this time, the army had slaughtered the city for twenty miles. The city was full of corpses and blood flowed into rivers, making people dare not open their eyes to see.

In September of the 18th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang caused Ganzhou to suffer another crisis. Chen Youliang sent his general Xing Wencai and his troops to surround Ganzhou and persuade them to surrender. Quan Pu'an withdrew from the village (the governor of Jiangxi Province) and the general manager Hahaichi defended it to the death. The people were killed and surrendered. In August, the people ran out of food. In September, the army had no food and had to defend the city. After Chen Youliang's troops entered the city, they were angry that they had not left the city for a long time. They burned all the people and wiped out the residents. The people of Ganzhou suffered another massacre.

In the 24th year of Zhizheng (24th year), only six years after Chen Youliang massacred the city, Chang Yuchun besieged Ganzhou. In the first month of the 25th year, Chen Youliang and Xiong Tianrui surrendered as they were running out of food and aid. There was no one left to kill in the city. There is a story circulating in Ganzhou. The story goes that when Chang Yuchun failed to attack the city, he became angry and wanted to kill millions of Gan people. Later, he killed a man named Huang whose name was millions.

In the 25th year of Emperor Zhizheng of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to attack Zhang Shicheng's capital Pingjiang (today's Suzhou) but was frustrated. After breaking through Pingjiang, he ordered the massacre of the city.

In the first year of Hongwu, Taizhou was occupied by Wu King Zhang Shicheng. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered General Chang Yuchun to lead his troops to capture Taizhou. Because he could not capture it for a long time, the court hated the Taizhou people. Later, Chang Yuchun attacked Taizhou by water and land and entered the city. Later, they massacred the city. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to release water from Gaojiayan to flood Huaiyang, and Taizhou immediately became a marsh country. For a time, Taizhou suffered from military disasters and floods, and the people fled to death or to leave the city empty. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered some people to move to Suzhou Settled in Taizhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang successively defeated Chen Youliang (according to Wuhan), Zhang Shicheng (according to Suzhou), Fang Guozhen and other rebel armies in the south of the Yangtze River in Jinling (now Nanjing City), unified the Jiangnan area, and sent Marshals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to lead the troops north to destroy them. Yuan Dynasty. Chang Yuchun invaded Shandong and occupied Jinan in northern Jiangsu. On the way east to Qingdao, he first surrounded Weixian City, an important town in central Shandong. Because the Yuan soldiers who defended the city resisted desperately and forced many young and middle-aged people to go to the city to defend, the Yuan Dynasty The Ming soldiers spent a lot of time and made heavy sacrifices to capture the county town. Chang Yuchun became so angry that he issued an order to massacre the city, killing all the Yuan soldiers and most of the residents in the city.
