"Hmph, no matter whether you are virtuous or not, you will give gifts to others. You can live in a carriage and horse. People who like profit often go to them. How can such a person be a wise ruler? In Chang's view, a mere salt dealer doesn't seem to be a benevolent monarch!"

This sentence immediately surprised Xiao Yun, because according to historical records, Zhang Shicheng did not care about the wise or not, but often gave gifts to the houses and horses in the room. Many scholars were fond of profit, so they went to it. It was precisely because employing people could not cause the mixed fish and dragons in the Salt and Rebellion Army. There were both poor people with deep hatred for the Yuan Dynasty, and landlords and intellectuals who speculated on the peasant revolution. When they saw that Zhang Shicheng was unfavorable in the war, the surrendered ministers of the Yuan Dynasty aroused Zhang Shi one after another.

When Cheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng lost his mind. This is also the reason why he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent. Although he could recruit talents, he could not know how to use it well! At this time, Chang Yuchun said again: "Chang has also traveled to many places over the years. In my opinion, although Zhang Shicheng is powerful at present, the salt dealer is born and the land occupied by this person is a place of rich fireworks. Chang saw this person without great ambitions, and only wanted to enjoy himself, and sooner or later he entered the fate of Li Yu of the Later Tang Dynasty!"

At this moment, Xiao Yun had to admire Chang Yuchun's knowledge. If what he said just now was a bit far-fetched, then this sentence completely convinced Xiao Yun, because according to historical records, after occupying the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, Zhang Shicheng gradually became a little unyielding. His generals "turned their families into a country, built a well-off life, decorated their houses, decorated their livestock, and bought pictures. Only wine, color and music were followed. The folk stones and famous trees would be robbed... All the officials gathered together for a banquet and fed a thousand stones"; Zhang Shicheng's fourth brother Zhang Shixin summoned hundreds of singers to "learning the Heavenly Demon Dance Team, Soo Jin and Jade Green, Extremely Decorated, Picking lotus boats in the garden, and sinking sandalwood."

Zhang Shicheng not only turned a blind eye to the general's decay, but also lived an imperial life, drinking and having banquets and having fun at home every day, and ignoring government affairs. Once, Zhang Shicheng led the fleet out for a trip. The fleet he followed "browning the boat with new painted golden flowers and putting on the sails". Zhang Shicheng's ship "carried beauties here, and listed prostitutes above, and sang "Seeking the Fragrance Song"". The poet Gao Qi, a poet at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote a poem to satirize the Zhang Shicheng regime that "the water surrounds the deserted city and the willows are half dry, and the brocade sails left the Forbidden City. After all, the extravagance was lost to the fisherman, and the autumn wind was protected for a long time." The corruption and depravity of Zhang Shicheng's group aroused the vigilance and concern of those who are aware of it. Some people

The letter advised him, "Ming Gong beats his horse and hits dozens of cities in Wu and Yue, and seeks surrender to others, all of them suffer from the Yuan Dynasty. The commander is greedy and cruel, and does not care about his subordinates. Now he can rebel against his government and stop working hard and take advantage of the victory and advancement, and then his career can be accomplished. If he ceases to have fun and heroes from all directions, Ming Gong wants to close the city and defend himself, will he finally be able to?" He explained the weakness of Zhang Shicheng's group case in pleasure and not wanting to make progress. Who knew that this letter of advice aroused Zhang Shicheng's dissatisfaction. He ordered the person who wrote the letter to be killed. Fortunately, the princess Liu tried his best to dissuade him, so he gave up. Later scholars took this as the most important basis for his great defeat.

Although Xiao Yun knew that Chang Yuchun followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the end, he did not expect that his knowledge and vision were so powerful. He was quite dissatisfied with him. Seeing that he looked down on Zhang Shicheng, he immediately thought of Chen Youliang, who was as famous as Zhang Shicheng, and said, "Since Zhang Shicheng has been unable to catch Brother Chang's eyes, he does not know that Chen Youliang, who has a large area and many soldiers, can he catch Brother Chang's eyes?"

"Isn't Xu Shouhui the one occupying Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei?" Chang Yuchun said with a look of surprise.

This time, Xiao Yun was also stunned. He knew from history that he had heard of the names of the three great heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Shouhui, but they were far inferior to Chen Youliang? So he didn't understand it for a while? "I was stunned for a while, and said with surprise: "Isn't Chen Youliang the one occupying Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei? How could it be Xu Shouhui?"

Chang Yuchun was quite surprised to see that Xiao Yun recognized Chen Youliang, but did not know Xu Shouhui, and thought to himself: "This little brother is so strange. Look at his young age, there are many people he recognizes. Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang know all such people, but they don't know Wang Kuan, who defeated the Yuan Dynasty, and captured Qizhou (now Qichun) and Huangzhou, and built a capital in Qishui, a land where water and land are bound to rush, and the country is called "Xu Shouhui of Tianwan Kingdom? This is really strange?"

Xiao Yun did not expect that Xu Shouhui suddenly appeared. He was not very familiar with this history, especially those who were not very famous in later history books. The ones he knew were heroic figures such as Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and Fang Guozhen who had achieved success in his career. He really couldn't remember the historical clowns who were like passers-by!

Chang Yuchun saw Xiao Yun's puzzled look, and couldn't bear it. He smiled and said, "This Xu Shouhui is a character. The Red Turban Army he created is disciplined and does not commit adultery or kill. Every time he conquered a place, he only named the people who surrendered him. He did not disturb him, so he was deeply loved by the people. The team quickly expanded to one million people, galloping across the Yangtze River, controlling the prosperous places of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangnan, Zhejiang and Fujian. He was an amazing person!"

The "Red Turban Army" Xiao Yun had heard of it. It started when Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was corrupt in the late reign of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, with heavy taxes and constant natural disasters. The Red Turban Army first started in the north, with Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others as leaders to promote the teachings of Maitreya and the birth of the Ming Dynasty. In the 11th year of Zhizheng, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty governed the Yellow River with Jialu and mobilized a large number of civilians, causing dissatisfaction. Han Shantong and others decided to launch an uprising in May, but the matter was leaked. Han Shantong was arrested and killed. Liu Futong led Shantong's son Han Liner to break out of the siege and occupy Yingzhou. Many people joined and became prosperous in Henan. Other uprisings in the north, such as Sesame Li in Xuzhou, Peng Da, and Guo Zixing in Haozhou, all revolted with the Red Turban Army. Zhu Yuanzhang started his business as the Red Turban Army.

When Xiao Yun heard Chang Yuchun say Xu Shouhui, he showed admiration on his face and said to himself: "No, look at Brother Chang's appearance. It seems that he wants to surrender to Xu Shouhui. What should Zhu Chongba do?" Just as he was about to persuade him, Chang Yuchun sighed for no reason and shook his head and said: "What a pity?"

Xiao Yun was stunned by his unforgettable words and said inertially: "What a pity?"
