Ming Dynasty full-scale map
The Ming Dynasty, known by modern people as the most backbone Wang Chao, often said that the son of heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the community. Ming Taizu's self-made start, Ming Chengzu's yang of our country's prestige, Akihito's founding of Renxuan's prosperity, The change of Yingzong's civil fort buried hundreds of thousands of elites of the daimyo, and Wanli's Zhang Juzheng transformation method pushed Daming to a small climax... Today we will briefly talk about the last feudal regime of our Han People.
1 Zhu Yuanzhang
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty
Ming Taizu is also one of my favorite historical figures, other dynasties in Chinese history are some nobles 'you sing I debuted' (Han Gaozu is more or less a petty official) Only Zhu Yuanzhang is "the beginning of a bowl, the equipment is all up to pick up" Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood and youth is the most difficult, even in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang's parents starved to death even a coffin board can not be purchased, and later went to the Huangjue Temple to become a monk, the temple can not afford to raise many monks, monks will travel around, everywhere to make a relationship, Zhu Yuanzhang received a letter from Xiao Tanghe from the same village when he was traveling in yunyou, and handed zhu Yuanzhang to join Guo Zixing's rebel army, Zhu Yuanzhang was really desperate, so he went to Tang He, this year he was twenty-five years old, so because he fought bravely and honestly, he was appreciated by Guo Zixing and married his adopted daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang, and from then on, the life of Kaihang began, breaking Chen Youyi, Ping Zhang Shicheng fixed the capital Jinling, and created a foundation of nearly three hundred years.
2 Zhu Biao/Zhu Yunjiao/Zhu Di
Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunjiao, Zhu Di
After Taizu ascended the throne, he reused the sages and opened up the road of speech, for a time the Ming Dynasty flourished, the economy and population were restored in a short period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang had many sons in his lifetime, there were 26 reliable sons, but his most beloved was the son Zhu Biao born to him and Empress Ma, and Zhu Biao's second son Zhu Yunjiao was born in the tenth year of Hongwu (1377). This year, When Zhu Biao was twenty-two years old, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was older, so he ordered all future political affairs and qi prince to punish him, and then played a song. It was intended that the crown prince would "come to the crowd of ministers and listen to the notices of the various divisions in order to practice state affairs." At this time, Zhu Biao was already the executive deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was obviously to prepare for succession, but unfortunately Zhu Biao died young, he should be the most stable position of the prince in history, if he did not die of illness Zhu Yuanzhang would not have killed so many heroes for Zhu Yunjiao.
Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne in 1398, during which he enhanced his role as a civilian official, lenient punishment of eunuchs, severe punishment of eunuchs, reform of maladministration, known in history as the "Jianwen New Deal"; at the same time, the policy of cutting down the domain caused Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to rise up against him, and Zhu Yunjiao's whereabouts after the "Battle of Jingnan" were unknown. If Zhu Yunjue's emperor had been doing it all along, he should have been a wise and divine successor emperor, and his policy of cutting the clan was good, that is, the steps were big, and he was pulling the egg, (five clan kings were abolished in the year after the succession)
Zhu Di succeeded to the throne through rebellion, and in history, other people usurping the throne would be insulted, but Zhu Di's ability was really good, and he also solved the problem of stabilizing northern Xinjiang for the Ming Dynasty, and also sent Zheng He to the West to spread culture, continue to care for the people, control the powerful landlords, and create the Yongle prosperous era. In the twenty-second year of Yongle (1424), Zhu Di died in Yumuchuan (榆木川, in present-day Wuzhu Muqin, Inner Mongolia) on the way back to the Northern Expedition, and was buried in Changling, the temple name was Taizong, and when Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty became Ming Chengzu, Zhu Di was also considered to be an excellent emperor in Wenzhi martial arts
3 Zhu Gaozi / Zhu Zhanji
Akihito, Akihito
Because Akihito had only been emperor for ten months, he put it together with his son and said,
There are not many emperors who can get Renzong in history, he only became an emperor for ten months to get a Renzong to show that he really did a good job, he and Zhu Biao, he was also the executive deputy emperor for a long time, Zhu Di's northern conquest of Mongolia, the size of the imperial court, financial expenses are generally handled by the crown prince Zhu Gaozi Also because of years of accumulated fatigue and illness, too fat, only ten months as emperor died young Zhu Gaozi took the throne and began a series of reforms, first pardoning the old ministers of Emperor Jianwen and the families of officials who were exiled to the border when Yongle was exiled. They were also allowed to return to their original places and rehabilitated unjustly imprisoned, so that many unjust cases could be revealed (such as the "Ten Tribes" massacre of Fang Xiaoru, a loyal minister of Jianwen, and the unjust case of The Yongle Dynasty's Liberation Were all rehabilitated during this period), and restored the officials of some ministers, thus alleviating the contradictions within the ruling group and laying a good foundation for his son.
Zhu Zhanji was not only an emperor with high cultural quality, but also an emperor who liked to shoot and hunt, eat, and fight and promote weaving (crickets).
Emperor Xuanzong reigned for ten years, focusing on the governance of internal affairs:
In the first year of Xuande (1426), he quelled the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and imprisoned Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, with a ding, grilled to death, and executed all his sons (Xuanzong was reluctant to kill him, but still went to visit, but Was tripped by Zhu Gaoxu's leg).
In order to rest the soldiers and support the people, Xuanzong changed the crusade policy of the Yongle period and took the initiative to withdraw troops from Jiaolan, saving financial resources, reducing the burden on the people, and promoting exchanges between the people of all ethnic groups in China and Jiaolan.
In terms of employment, the number of recruits is limited, and the guarantee and non-appointment are implemented. Some measures have been implemented to alleviate the people's poverty, such as reducing taxes and grain, resuming employment and displaced people, and providing disaster relief and famine relief. After he ascended the throne, he personally quelled the rebellion of King Fan, reused the "Three Yangs" (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu) and other sages, reorganized the cabinet, reduced taxes, and achieved unprecedented economic development, and together with his father, he created the "Rule of Renxuan". Died in 1435, reigned for ten years, buried Jingling, temple number Xuanzong, (his father succeeded to the throne a bit borrowed his light,)
