陳友諒
Between 1356 and 1367 Zhu began a series of military campaigns seeking to defeat his opponents in the Red Turbans. At first he nominally supported Han Lin'er (son of Han Shantong) to stabilize his northern frontier. Then he defeated rivals Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen one by one. After rising to dominance, he drowned Han Lin'er. Calling to overthrow the "barbarians" and restore the "Chinese", Zhu gained popular support.
