These days, Xiao Jing went to Beijing.

After looking around, I saw Yuan Dadu in the past, and suddenly I remembered a person in my heart that Xiao Jing was going to write today was actually something that Xiao Jing was very reluctant to write. He was Wang Baobao. A few days ago, I introduced Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. After many people read it, many people asked me, if there was no Liu Futong in the Yuan Dynasty, would there be an uprising of Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang? "I dare not answer this question, it is not that I am unwilling to answer, it is

This person is too unknown. Every time he watches TV series in the Ming Dynasty, he always appears as a supporting role. Most of the time, he is a passerby A or a passerby B. Compared with the hero Chen Youliang of a generation, Zhang Shicheng is not a little bit like that of a generation. Today, Xiao Jing was free and had nothing to do, so he checked the life experience of this person and found that his life experience was actually not much worse than that of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. But why did the two of them become a generation of heroes, but this person became an unknown passerby A?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Judging from Xiaojing, a person needs real skills to succeed, but what he needs more is luck. No matter how great his ability is, he will not succeed. Either... he will die in a daze before his ambition is fulfilled; or, even though he has all his skills, he is suppressed and excluded and has been depressed for a lifetime. The final sigh is just a sigh of "Die before he fulfills his ambition, which will make the hero cry!"

Although Xiao Jing was two or six years old, he read a lot. In history, there were many such people. When he was young, he was stunning in talent, but he always struggled to make a comeback. In the end, he became mediocre and ended up in poverty. He ended up in depression.

But today Xiao Jing read this person and found that although this person was a humble person, he had never studied literature and practiced martial arts, he wanted to make a name for himself, and had a good time, place, and harmony. Perhaps he would not succeed in his life until the hatred in his heart was smoothed out and he became a mediocre farmer... Unfortunately, this little person succeeded, becoming a more or less hero at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He became a strange man praised by Zhu Yuanzhang throughout his life. Today Xiao Jing took everyone to see this little person six hundred years ago.

Wang Baobao, Hu's name Kuoguttemur, was named Wang, and his nickname was Baobao. He was from Shenqiu. His father was from the Central Plains, and his mother was the sister of the general Chahan Timuer in the late Yuan Dynasty. He was the nephew of Chahan Timuer. Later, he was adopted as his adopted son by his uncle Chahan Timuer. After the war broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he organized the landlord armed forces from Chahan Timuer to suppress the Red Turban Army. Yuan Huizong Tuohuantemuer gave the name Kuoguttemur.

Wang Baobao was a Han (not a Han Chinese in the modern sense. At that time, the Han people specifically pointed to Han people who had joined forces with foreign races in the Jin Dynasty. It turned out that people in the Southern Song Dynasty were called southerners at that time). Strictly speaking, Wang Baobao was a mixed-race child of Han and Uyghurs.

The biography of "History of Ming Dynasty" reads: "Kugu Timur, a native of Shenqiu (now Henan area). The surname of Wang is Baobao, and the nickname is Baobao, and the nephew of Chahan Timur in Yuanping Zhangzhang. Chahan raised him as his son, and Emperor Shun gave him the name Kugu Timur."

Wang Baobao's father was a Han man named Wang, and his mother was Chahan Timur's sister (Uyghur). He was called Wang Baobao from childhood to 1361. This is all we know about his identity.

Shortly after Kuo escaped to Helin, Emperor Zhaozong of Yuan also came here (Helin was the old capital of Genghis Khan, also known as Halahelin. In 1912, a foreigner discovered the famous Xingyuan Pavilion Monument in Erdenizhao in Outer Mongolia, proving that this was the ancient Helin), and took charge of Kuoku as state affairs. From then on, Kuoku began to hold on to the important task of conquering the world alone.

In 1373, Zhu Yuanzhang assembled 150,000 troops and divided into three northern expeditions. General Xu Da from the middle route went straight to Helin from Yanmen to destroy the command center of the Yuan Dynasty; Li Wenzhong, the left deputy general of the eastern route, went from Juyongguan to Yingchang, and then rushed straight to the Tula River, attacking Helin from the northwest (almost the route of Changchun's real man Qiu Chuji's journey to the west); General Feng Sheng, the western route, went out of Jinlan to take Gansu, and each commanded 50,000 troops.

The Eastern Army Li Wenzhong fought to the Luqu River, then defeated Halazhang and others in the Tula River, and advanced to Chenghai on the banks of the Laluhun River. He was surrounded by the Mongolian army. Li Wenzhong reluctantly retreated. However, the losses were heavy.

Xu Da, the middle army, encountered the strong enemy Kuo Timur. This time, in the duel between the Ming and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Kuo cleverly and resolutely defeated Xu Da, the largest general of the Ming Dynasty. Kuo used a trick to lure the enemy to gradually introduce the Ming army into its depth. Xu Da's pioneer was Chang Yuchun's brother. Later, Lan Yu, who was in Hongwu in 21 years, went out of Yanmen, and after leaving Yemachuan (the third hall of the Koubei District" says that Yemachuan met Hu Ke Ke at "outside the kitchen fortress in Xuanfu West Road"), and chased him to Luanshan (the location is to be tested), and he won a small victory. Then he arrived.

In the Tula River, "I met Wang Baobao, defeated his people, and Baobao escaped." It was obvious that Kuoku was luring the enemy into depth. He personally led a small army to fight and retreat, leading the enemy to Helin. He Zongzhe, the general under his command, led the main force to wait for his work in Helin. Sure enough, " Kuoku escaped, joined forces with He Zongzhe, and refused our troops in the north of the lingge. At that time, the army was several (left valley and right tiles), and his heart was easy to capture. He suddenly fought with him, which was unfavorable, and more than 10,000 people died." ("History of Ming Dynasty: The Ending of the Chronicles") It can be seen that Kuoku's plan to lure the enemy caused the Ming army to underestimate the enemy and defeat him miserably.

Feng Sheng, the Western Route Army, achieved an unexpected victory. However, since the two failed routes were the first two famous generals at that time, if Feng Sheng was commended, it would be equivalent to humiliating Xu Da and Li Wenzhong, so Taizu did not reward Feng Sheng on the excuse. At this point, the Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Hongwu ended with the disastrous defeat of the Ming army.

The Ming Dynasty classics have all been mentioned in the history of Ming Dynasty, and there are no comments. However, the clues from historical materials can be seen that this defeat was unforgettable to Taizu. Ye Ziqi's "Caoyezi" says, "It was divided into three ways to fight, and when it was defeated in Mobei, the dead were about 400,000." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ji, the counselor of the Ming Dynasty, said to Taizu: "It is not easy to be light. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the emperor thought about his words and said to the King of Jin: I have never been defeated by the north. Now the generals ask themselves to go deeper and defeated in Helin. They believe in the lack of plans, and have to be wary of many soldiers.... Since then, the Ming army is eager to go out of the frontier." ("Ming History·Biography of Kuo Timur")

After Kuogu took charge of the troops, he captured Yidu in that month, captured Tian Feng, Wang Shicheng and others, avenging Chahan Timur. Later, Kuogu assisted the crown prince to eliminate the powerful minister Boluo Timur, and was named King of Henan by Emperor Yuan. However, soon, disputes broke out within the Yuan court, and Kuogu's official positions were all stripped. By the time he got rid of the internal strife and obtained military power again, the Ming army in the Northern Expedition had already scooped the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Kuogu reached the forefront of direct confrontation with the Ming army. (See "The History of Yuan Dynasty·Chakan Timur·Biography of Timur")

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In history, no emperor was as good as Zhu Yuanzhang's letters as Zhu Yuanzhang - he wrote letters to almost all his opponents, including Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. Long before he ascended the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang began to do "rebellion" of Kuoku. According to the "Records of Taizu of Ming Dynasty", from the 23rd year of Zhizheng (1363) to the second year of Hongwu (1369), Zhu Yuanzhang wrote at least seven letters to Kuoku, each time instilling in Kuoku into Kuoku, and it was replaced by God's will. It was said with great sincerity that Kuoku could recognize the situation and surrender to him, but in the end, Kuoku responded to him all with swords, spears and soldiers.

In November of the first year of Hongwu, Kuogu had a direct confrontation with the Ming army. He sent troops to Yanmen, planning to take over the security guards to seize Dadu through Juyongguan. Unexpectedly, the Ming army took the opportunity to attack his base camp Taiyuan. The house was leaking and raining all night. Just when he returned to Taiyuan to stalemate the Ming army, his general Huobima secretly surrendered to the Ming army and asked the Ming army to rob the camp at night, resulting in Kuogu's defeat. ("Brief History of the First Kingdom: Volume 11")

In the following battles, Kuogu still failed. In March of the third year of Hongwu, the Ming army, under the leadership of Xu Da, went straight to Dingxi (Gansu) and stationed in a place called Sheneryu in April. Kuogu confronted him through a deep ditch and fought several times a day. During this process, Kuogu successfully robbed the Ming army's camp, but then suffered a great defeat and escaped with only a few of his wife. ("Records of the Ming Taizu·Volume 1", the same below)

In September of the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang tried to win over Kuokuo and named his sister his daughter-in-law. In the book, he said: "I am the king of all the sons in the world and I must choose a virtuous daughter of a famous family as his concubine. Now my second son, King Qin, has grown up in the year, and has selected the king's family, the former Taifu of Yuan, the right prime minister of the Secretariat, and the sister of the King of Henan. He was given a gold book and the concubine of the king. You are obedient to your wife's manner to help our country." (Volume 6) Although he is a "famous scholar" and a "virtuous daughter", Kuokuo still does not buy his account.

In the first month of the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent general Xu Da, left deputy general Li Wenzhong, and west general Feng Sheng, leading a 150,000 troops to fight Kuokuo. Zhu Yuanzhang formulated a combat plan for them: the troops were divided into three groups, the general went out of Yanmen from the middle, feinted to attack Helin, luring the enemy to fight, and took the opportunity to defeat him; the left deputy general sent troops from Juyongguan from the east, attacked him by surprise; the west general went straight to Gansu to doubt its power, and warned the generals, "It is better to be cautious and not underestimate the enemy." (Volume 1)

But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang miscalculated. "The general went to Lingbei and met Kuoku, and was defeated, and tens of thousands of people died." This consequence directly affected the border defense policy of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, "Ming soldiers have come out of the frontier", (see "Ming History: Biography of Kuoku Timur"), that is, the border defense of the Ming Dynasty changed from offense to defense. Until the 30th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already seventy years old, died of illness in a place called Yating in the Hala Nahai. Since then, no decent general in the Canyuan Yuan could fight against the Ming army, and a huge rock that was pressing on Zhu Yuanzhang's heart also disappeared.

With his outstanding military talent, Temur fought thousands of miles when he was in poverty, and he did not collapse repeatedly. He was far away from the desert and was unwilling to surrender, thus winning the respect of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang once asked his servants who was the hero of this dynasty. Some people said that Yuchun was the only one hundred thousand troops, he was invincible and invincible, and he was a real hero. However, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although Yuchun was a great man, he was always used by me, but Wang Baobao never surrendered. He was so talented.

He is a real strange man." ("History of Ming Dynasty: Biography of Kuogutemur") He was still worried about that defeat. He told King Zhu of Jin who was guarding the border and Zhu Di of Yan: "I have been using troops for a lifetime to command the generals, but I have never been defeated, which has caused the soldiers to be injured. I am trying to raise my strength to observe the changes of the times. Why do generals ask for deep into the desert every day, and they can't help but tired their soldiers in the Helin? This is because of the lack of faith and no plans, which has caused tens of thousands of lives to be injured." (Volume 253).

After Kuogu's death, Tuoyin Timuer continued to follow the Yuanzhu and served as the Tongzhi of the Zhanyuan. In the Battle of Fishing Sea in April 21, Hongwu, the troops of the Ming general Lan Yu wiped out the Beiyuan army. Tuoyin Timuer lost his mount in the battle and hid in the deep grass. Unfortunately, he was captured. After being captured, he was placed in Jizhou to work, but he secretly contacted other surrendered generals to prepare for an uprising. After being accused, he was arrested. In July 21, Hongwu, Tuoyin Timuer was killed by Lan Yu.

Kuoku's subordinates were all very solar terms, and very few of them surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. For example, the military general He Zongzhe and others followed Kuoku to the desolate Mobei. In Kuoku's shogunate, Cai Ziying was the most talented and famous.

Cai Ziying was a Jinshi of the Yuan Dynasty and had always followed Chahan and Kuokuo's father and son. After the Battle of Sheneryu, he was separated from Kuokuo and was arrested soon after. He showed his noble integrity in the face of the torture of wise rulers and ministers and the temptation of high-ranking officials. One day, he suddenly burst into tears and others asked him the reason. He said: "There is nothing else, I miss the old lord." ("History of Ming Dynasty: Biography of Cai Ziying") Taizu was very moved. In December 9, Hongwu, he let Cai Ziying go out and let him return to his former master in Helin. Unfortunately, Kuokuo had passed away at this time.

Kuogu's wife Mao had no knowledge of her deeds. She only knew that after Kuogu passed away, she committed suicide and followed Kuogu to the underworld. Jilie, the relatives and subordinates of Kuogu, also explained Kuogu's personal charm from one aspect.
