At that time, Chen Youliang had 600,000 soldiers and thousands of big ships, while Zhu Yuanzhang had only 200,000 people and all of them were small ships. During the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang was caught in a dilemma. In the battle, Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded, starving, cold and in danger. At the moment of life and death, Zhu Yuanzhang was helped by his fellow villagers from Jiangxi province. When Zhu Yuanzhang said goodbye to the villagers, he repeatedly urged them: ?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation in history seems to have not been recognized by future generations he can kill and he experienced a bloody storm together with the life and death of the generals, will really care about a few small? The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. It's not a good idea. So, there is another rumor:

In 1368? Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor. All the people under his command came to the capital to pay homage and celebrate with him. When he saw so many people pouring into the capital at once, not only was it difficult to accommodate them, but it was also difficult for him to cope with them. So he hurriedly ordered all the people to enter the capital in order.
