In February, Du Gong. Du was a maharaja when he died, and he was a prince of Zhuguo, and his title was above that of Prince Li Yuanji. watch out for

Du, whose real name is Zhangqiu County, qi zhou. When he was young, he was poor and unable to support himself, so he often stole things to make a living. Du has a friend named Fu Gongyou, whose aunt is a shepherd, so Fu Gongyou often steals her aunt's sheep to help Du. After being discovered by my aunt, I sued them. In desperation, they fled to the mountains, gathered a group of people and formed a bandit gang. At this time, Du Cai was sixteen years old. In the ninth year of the great cause, Du and Fu Gongyou came to Changbai Mountain to organize mountain thieves to join the rebel army and formally launched an uprising. Because of their bravery in the battle, Du was elected as the leader and started his own business.

After Du annexed small rebel forces such as Miao and Zhao, Du's strength was greatly enhanced. In the 11th year of the Great Cause, Li Zitong, a native of the East China Sea, led more than 10,000 people to vote, but soon Li Zitong suddenly launched a mutiny in an attempt to annex Du's territory. Du was seriously injured in the pursuit, and his physical strength was greatly hit. Later, Du was defeated, and Li Lianxu lost the power to dominate the country twice, so he had to guerrilla everywhere and constantly recruit refugees to join his team. Six months later. In the 12th year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang fled to Jiangdu because of the turmoil in the north. Due to years of war, the oppression of the government and the great pressure of Yang-ti's southern tour, the people were displaced. Du Fu Wei took this opportunity to absorb a large number of subordinates, and his power expanded rapidly.

After the expansion, Du first defeated the Sui general Chen Ling, occupied Gaoyou, Liyang and other important towns, and claimed to be the general manager; Then he carried out tax reform in his own territory, charging only very low taxes on the people in the territory and severely punishing corrupt officials, so he was very popular with the people. In the 14th year of Great Cause, Yu Wenhuaji launched a mutiny and killed the emperor Yang Di. Du refused to attract, and instead worshipped Yang Dong, the king of Luoyang, as the king of Chu. In the second year of Wude, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the appeasement ambassador of Huainan. Later, he was promoted to Southeast Taiwan and official rank, and was named King Chu. In the third year of Wude, he took charge of military affairs south of Jianghuai, changed his country name to the prince of Wu, and changed his surname to Li. At this time, although Du nominally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan could not interfere in Du's affairs, so he was not much different from the overlord. In the third year of Wude, Du defeated Li Zitong and won the land of Jiangxi. In the fourth year of Wushu, Du defeated Li Zitong again. After Li Zitong surrendered, he was captured in Chang 'an and placed under house arrest. Later, Du sent troops to destroy other independent forces between Jianghuai and completed the reunification of Jianghuai, making Huainan a land of Jiangdong.

In the fifth year of Wude, Du invited himself to the DPRK to avoid suspicion, and was named Prince Taibao, ranking above Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and becoming the fourth person in the Tang Dynasty after Li Yuan and Li Wei. However, after Du's departure, there was something wrong with the Huai Army. Fu Hong is a close friend of Du Fu's, and the military said that he has great influence. With the continuous growth of the team, the relationship between the two people also appeared cracks under the guidance of power. In order to prevent Fu Gongyou from seizing power, Du deprived him of his military power and gave him a high position, but he had no rights. Therefore, after Du entered Beijing, Fu Gongyou and Zuo Youxian launched a mutiny, and declared independence in the sixth year of Wude. Fu Gongyou proclaimed himself emperor, and the founding name was Song. Influenced by the rebellion against the public, Du, who is in Chang 'an, is deeply suspicious of this. Finally, Wu De died in fear for seven years at the age of 4 1 year. After Du's death, Li Yuan deprived him of his official position and lost his family. It was not until Li Shimin ascended the throne that his reputation was restored and he was buried in lord protector's ceremony.
