Chen Youliang had four wives and concubines. Yang Tiaohua, Lou Yuzhen, and Tao all died unexpectedly. Only the concubine Yan and Chen Youliang's two sons survived.
The beauty of the Zhan family can be called a national beauty. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the first hero, found it difficult to control her. So she was taken into the harem, named a concubine, and soon gave birth to a son, the future King of Tan Zhu Zi.
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, before Zhu Zi went to the fiefdom, the Yan family called him into the palace for a secret meeting and told him: "Your father is not named Zhu?
Zhu Zi was shocked. She almost couldn't believe what she heard.
Zhao said: "The person named Zhu is your father-killing enemy. Your biological father's surname is Chen, and his name is Youliang. He is the founding emperor of Chen Han. That's right." How heroic. I have been living an ignoble life for so many years, just to wait until one day when you grow up, so that you can avenge your father."
Zhu Zi firmly remembered his mother's teachings, and as soon as he arrived in the fiefdom, he secretly He trained his soldiers day and night, and even made a bronze medal with the characters "I would rather see the King of Hell than the King of Thieves" to show that he and the Zhu Dynasty were not loyal to Dai Tian. How could every move escape the eyes of the old treacherous Zhu Yuanzhang? Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Huizu, the son of the famous general Xu Da, to attack the city of Changsha. Seeing that the matter was not secret and the conspiracy was exposed, Zhu Zi had no choice but to set himself on fire with his family and throw away the bronze medal on his body. Outside the city wall.
After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the truth, he was furious and killed the Zhan family and the accompanying maids.
They were captured together with the Zhan family. , and Chen Youliang’s eldest son Chen Shan. There is almost no record of this person in history. We can only roughly infer from the fate of Chen Youliang’s second son Chen Li. Even if he is alive, he will probably live in inaction with the hatred of the country and the family. After the Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang's confidant General Zhang Dingbian fled back to Wuchang with Chen Youliang's body and Chen Youliang's second son Chen Li, and soon made Chen Li the leader. Emperor, changed to Yuan Deshou.
Six months later, Zhu Yuanzhang personally conquered Wuchang. Facing the aggressive momentum displayed by the Ming army, the Chen and Han dynasties were almost unable to fight. In desperation, Chen Li could only Choose to surrender.
When Chen Li, who was twelve or thirteen years old, knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not know whether it was out of sympathy or emotion. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been murderous and decisive, did not embarrass Chen Li. Instead, he personally helped him up and told him: "Don't worry, I won't punish you."
He sent someone to lead Chen Li into the treasury and let him choose what was inside. He received gold and silver treasures, and at the same time made him the Marquis of Guide, and took him back to Nanjing.
Chen Li lived a leisurely and leisurely life in Nanjing, but over time, he became unlucky. He has a lot of problems in his spare time. He occasionally thinks about his honor as the king of a country and will inevitably complain a few times when he is unhappy. But he never knows that his every move is under the supervision of others.
< p>When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news from his subordinates, he thought: "Although this is a child's temporary anger, people with ulterior motives will take advantage of it." If he really makes a big mistake, I may not be able to protect him."After thinking about it again and again, in the first month of the fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang waited until Chen Li had celebrated his last Spring Festival in China and sent him Chen Li was sent to Korea.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he would be wronged in a foreign country, so he not only sent escorts to send a large amount of gold and silver jewelry to the king of Korea. He repeatedly urged the King of Goryeo to treat Chen Li kindly.
However, Goryeo is a small and poor foreign country, and its living conditions cannot be compared with those of our Ming Dynasty. Besides, Chen Li’s status is embarrassing, which is nothing more than a disguised form. He was imprisoned and lived a very poor life.
Four years later, Chen Li finally became ill and died due to the acclimatization. However, his descendants took root in Goryeo and have been passed down to this day. It has become a popular surname in South Korea today. These descendants of Chen Youliang believe that they are descendants of Chen Youliang, so they rush to Hubei every year to pay their respects to Chen Youliang's tomb. It is an unprecedented event. Therefore, I wonder why Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been ruthless and decisive in killing, showed mercy and tolerance when facing Chen Youliang's descendants. If you think about it carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang have too many similarities. They all came from commoner backgrounds and met in troubled times to become the dominant heroes. There are too many uncertain factors in the Poyang Lake water battle. Success or failure sometimes lies on a thin line. It is normal to win or lose. The winner certainly feels that he is the winner. If you are too lucky, you will inevitably feel sympathy for the loser.
