After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chengdu, he made good friends with the Tujia people, helped the Tujia, Miao, Zhuang and other ethnic minorities improve their productivity, and actively cooperated with them in business. Soon, peace became peaceful in Sichuan, and all ethnic minorities cooperated with them. Zhu Jun reached a subordinate relationship, and with the help of ethnic minorities, he took over Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in a very short time.
Half a year later, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to Hubei. At this time, the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo and Zhang Xianzhong had internal strife, and they were fighting fiercely in Henan. The Jiangnan soldiers led by Shi Kefa were too weak to fight and could only play soy sauce on the side. Zuo Liangyu retreated to a place far away from the bandits, robbed the local people of their money and food, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. He gradually broke away from the control of the imperial court and seemed to be self-reliant.
Zhu Jun asked Luo Rucai to be a lobbyist, and persuaded the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo to join Zhu Jun, and then fought a decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong at the foot of Xiangyang City. After defeating Zhang Xianzhong, he regained the territory of Hubei and persuaded Zhang Xianzhong's general Li Dingguo to surrender. Immediately, Zhu Jun sent troops from Shaanxi and Hubei at the same time. , two routes invaded Henan occupied by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng retreated to Luoyang, but was defeated by Zhu's army and was quickly defeated and captured. Immediately, the Zhu army invaded Shanxi and then the capital. Emperor Chongzhen was rescued by Zhu Yuanzhang just before he was hanged and was placed under house arrest in the harem.
After Zhu Jun entered the capital, he did not change the name of the country and continued to call himself "Da Ming". He re-introduced Emperor Chongzhen as emperor, but deprived him of all power and only allowed him to be a symbolic emperor. Ming Dynasty began to adopt a constitutional monarchy system , Zhu Yuanzhang served as the first president, and Xu Renjie, Wang Er, Yang Hong and others served as members.
But the old bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty did not recognize this regime. They formed the Nanming regime in the south of the Yangtze River and promoted King Fu Zhu Yousong as emperor, forming a confrontation between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Nanming at all, and instead directly sent troops to Shanhaiguan. On the one hand, he used 200,000 troops to force Wu Sangui, and on the other hand, he treated Wu Sangui's family well. In the end, Wu Sangui surrendered obediently and gave the Guan Ning cavalry general to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Half a month later, the Manchu and Qing Tatars sent troops to Shanhaiguan. In a stone battle with General Zhu Jun, they were completely defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang's excellent command skills and the runner musket produced in batches. Then Zhu Jun took the initiative to leave the customs and used Xue Hongqi as the leader of the Northern Expedition. The commander-in-chief led the cavalry to defeat the cavalry and defeated the Qing soldiers. He conquered Shengjing, captured Huang Taiji alive, and sent him to the capital to behead him in public.
A year later, without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to attack, Nanming Zhengquan fell apart and fell into internal fighting. Zhu Jun sent some troops at will and captured Nanming. The Ming Dynasty completed its unification.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang used the political methods he borrowed from later generations.
