Workers who like the Ming Dynasty know that the old Zhu, the first treasurer of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, is estimated to be the only one who can be called Old Zhu.
Lao Zhu opened the Shop of Daming in 1368, and in the 1644s the liquidators of the "Chongzhen" number closed the shop.
This century-old store has been open for a total of 276 years, during which time it has experienced 16 treasurers such as Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Houxi and so on. But now most people only know that there are only 13 people in beijing's Ming Tombs who enjoy the treatment of treasurers. So who are the other 3 and where did they go? Let's listen to you.
Founder Zhu Yuanzhang
Yes, first of all, the founder Lao Zhu is not within these 13 places, but it is not that Lao Zhu is special as the founder, but the development of the situation is unexpected by Lao Zhu.
This matter also has to start from the old Zhu entrepreneurship period, old Zhu since the beginning of the sea entrepreneurship, has been with Chen Youyu, Zhang Shicheng and the then giant Yuan Dynasty to seize the market, and finally in the general manager Xu Da, planning Liu Bowen and a group of old employees of the efforts, in the city of Nanjing, after more than thirty years of fighting, Lao Zhu and other finally squeezed out other businesses, alone occupied the big market in China.
Lao Zhu named his shop "Ming", and everyone liked to call him Daming. But in order to choose the location of the Daming general store, Lao Zhu made a difficult mistake, and he had three choices.
First, the Song Dynasty's Kaifeng Province
Lao Zhu was very eager for the Kaifeng Province of the Song Dynasty, and he believed that kaifeng Province was rich and prosperous and well-known, and it was convenient for the transportation of the Bian River. However, after the field investigation by his subordinates, they found that since the "Jingkang Revolution", Kaifeng Province has been looted several times by the Jin Dynasty, and it has long been a city that has been destroyed and empty, there are fewer people, the Bian River will be used less, the river will be silted up, and the water transportation will not work. Therefore, the kaifeng plan was canceled.
Second, old Zhu's hometown Fengyang
Speaking of Fengyang, it is estimated that until today, everyone knows two things in Fengyang, one of which is Fengyang and one is Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is Fengyang Flower Drum.
Old Zhu is not easy to start a business, open such a big store, if you can choose the main store in the hometown, first, my old Zhu can also grow a long face in front of the villagers, after all, everyone wants to honor the ancestors, Lao Tzu out of half a life, come back to be a boss, in addition, you can also pull the economic development of your hometown.
Hearing that the boss wanted to choose his hometown to open a shop, his subordinates expressed that they were unwilling to beg with the boss in Fengyang with a flower drum. Although Lao Zhu is the boss, but in the early days of the company, the team has just been established, it is really inseparable from these people, and what level of the old family, Lao Zhu knows better than anyone, otherwise he would not have gone out to start a business that year. The Fengyang plan is also not feasible.
Third, the base area of Nanjing
Since Kaifeng has fallen, the old home is not good. Then the third set of plans, Nanjing City, of course, at that time, was not called Nanjing, but called Ying Tianfu, after all, this is also the base of Lao Zhu's entrepreneurship, his subordinates are also willing, Nanjing is also a big city, so Lao Zhu finally made up his mind to choose the main store site ying Tianfu Nanjing City.
The main store was selected, at this time, Lao Zhu found that the Yuan Dynasty, which was originally squeezed out of the Chinese market, set up a new company in the north, we like to call it "Beiyuan", then this is not OK, my old Zhu hard worked hard to lay the family business, can not let the Beiyuan at any time.
So Lao Zhu decided to open a branch near Beiyuan, and as for the store manager, he let his sons do a good job, and the fat water did not flow to the outsiders. The main store, of course, must be managed by the eldest son, Zhu Biao.
Just as Old Zhu made a good calculation, the eldest son Zhu Biao did not do it, and went on the road in advance to see the King of Yan, Old Zhu was discouraged, and also wanted to let other sons come to inherit, but the inheritance of the eldest son was tradition, the son died, and naturally the son still had a son, so Old Zhu designated his grandson Zhu Yunjiao as the manager of the main store. Lao Zhu believes that in the future, the candidates for the main store will be selected from the vein of the eldest son.
In 1398, Lao Zhu died in Nanjing, and his grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, since Lao Zhu's retirement quota was in Nanjing, Beijing naturally would not have his quota, of course, he could not imagine going to Beijing. Lao Zhu was the only of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty who remained in Nanjing.
Anonymity is buried in Zhu Yunwen
Grandpa Lao Zhu stepped down, and grandson Xiao Zhu took office.
After taking office, Zhu Yunjiao found that in his grandfather's thirty years of management, Daming had formed a formal enterprise comparable to the scale of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and he only needed to enjoy the decision to kill a leader.
However, after a period of time, Zhu Yunjiao found that there were still uncles' branches around him, and the spirit conveyed by the top management of the main store was obviously not well executed by the branches.
At this time, someone spoke: Boss, you have just ascended to the throne, the foundation is unstable, and your uncles are all bursting with force, and the boss must make preparations early to prevent accidents.
Zhu Yunjiao adopted this suggestion, perhaps Zhu Yunjiao gave him to learn the Han Dynasty, whether he only learned the Han Jing Emperor, because he adopted the policy of the Han Jing Emperor to cut the domain, that is, to find various excuses to weaken the strength of the branch. However, if Zhu Yunjiao studied for two more days, learned the Tuien order of Emperor Wu of Han, and divided them one by one, it was possible that Daming would continue to pass it on in the hands of him and his descendants.
Then, Zhu Yunjiao moved, Hongwu thirty-one years to abolish the fifth uncle Zhou Wang Kaifeng branch, Jianwen first year, the twelve uncle Xiang Wang Jingzhou branch, and sent the general store staff Song Zhong, Xu Kai and others to the fourth uncle Zhu Di Beiping branch to take office.
Seeing this series of operations, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, couldn't sit still, and said in his heart, don't say your little boy Zhu Yunjiao, that is, your father Zhu Biao, I don't pay attention to it. If your grandfather's strength was not too strong, Lao Tzu would have been Li Shimin's second.
While pretending to be crazy and stupid, Zhu Di paralyzed Zhu Yunjiao, while accumulating strength and recruiting soldiers to buy horses. When Zhu Yunjiao extended his hand to Zhu Di, Zhu Di played the slogan of "Qing Jun's side", the boss has villains around him, I want to eliminate the villains and protect the boss.
So the fledgling young Man Zhu Yunjiao and the calm and experienced fourth uncle Zhu Di exchanged fire, which is known in history as the "change of Jing Difficulty". After three years of tug-of-war, the fourth uncle Zhu Di finally entered the Ying Tianfu. After entering the city, Zhu Di found that his nephew Zhu Yunjiao was missing. In this way, the province's own hands, they are running to the main store owner.
But it was obvious that Zhu Di did not intend to leave his personnel relations in Ying Tianfu, first, he definitely did not dare to live too close to his father after retirement, how his seat came to him was the most clear, second, his own connections were in Beiping, that was his own base area, in addition, Tianzi guarded the gate of the country, and in Beiping he could guard Beiyuan to grab business.
Zhu Di decided that Beiping should be changed to Beijing as a new headquarters, and Ying Tianfu should be Nanjing, and the old headquarters site should still be retained to show respect for Old Zhu.
Zhu Yunjiao did not see anyone in his life, he did not see a corpse in death, naturally there was no mausoleum, and he was also the only emperor among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty who did not have a mausoleum.
Part-time treasurer Zhu Qiyu
Zhu Qiyu is the fifth treasurer of the Beijing main store, why he is a treasurer, we have to start from his brother's fourth treasurer Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen became the eldest at the age of 8, an 8-year-old child, naturally he didn't understand anything, and only liked to listen to it well. So he especially listened to his teacher and secretary, The Eunuch Wang Zhen.
In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the Mongol Walla came to smash the field, and Wang Zhen always had a dream of commanding the army, so he persuaded Zhu Qizhen to go out of the town. Zhu Qizhen, who was flesh-and-blood, also agreed, and handed over the main store business to his younger brother Zhu Qiyu to concurrently serve.
Out of the town of Zhuqi in Beijing, after wandering around, did not find the large army of Vala, preparing to go back on the way, when passing the Tumu Fort was smashed by the Wa La, Zhu Qi Town was also captured by the Wa La, known in history as the "change of the Tumu Fort".
After capturing the boss of Daming, he naturally wanted to besiege the city of Beijing, and in the face of the siege of Walla, Zhu Qiyu was helpless, at this time, Yu Qian, a fierce man of business ability, officially came out.
Yu Qian believes that Daming can not be without a master for a day, first solve the problem of the boss, Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen is only three years old, and the words are unfavorable, so Zhu Qiyu's part-time boss smoothly turned right, took up his post, posthumously recognized his brother as the treasurer, and still recognized Zhu Jianshen's position as the prince, he stressed that he would still pass the seat to his nephew Zhu Jianshen in the future, and we would listen to him as soon as he said it.
Internal stability was stable, external nature was not a problem, the Wallachian army was naturally not a rival to Daming, and Yu Qian soon won a complete victory in the defense of Beijing.
The war was over, and the prisoners of war were handed over, and although Vala expressed his willingness to return Zhu Qizhen, Daming's treasurer, and Daming also sent representatives to hand them over, it was obvious that Zhu Qiyu was reluctant. As a leader, who is still willing to return to the previous seat, the brother is back, and who is the seat given to.
However, the minister could not stand the ability, and eventually Zhu Qizhen was brought back to Daming, and Zhu Qiyu was imprisoned in the southern courtyard on the grounds that the ether treasurer needed to recuperate.
Since Zhu Qiyu took office, although he had meritorious achievements in the defense of Beijing, his personality was extreme, and he first deposed the title of nephew's heir and made his son the crown prince. He also imprisoned his brother, which made his subordinates very dissatisfied. Later, his son died prematurely, and he could not regenerate himself, but he still did not want to be the heir of his nephew, and his nerves were still a little confused, and he was seriously ill and could not afford to be sick.
His subordinates could not bear it, and surrounded by the tai treasurer to regain their seats, which is known in history as the "change of the door". Zhu Qizhen ascended to the throne, but forgot to abolish the title of younger brother and boss, so in those days, Daming nominally existed two bosses.
In 1457, Zhu Qiyu died of illness, although he was the boss of Daming, but he was buried with the ceremony of "prince" of the department manager, so there was no imperial tomb belonging to Zhu Qiyu in the Thirteen Tombs. He was also the only one of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty who had an emperor's name and no emperor's mausoleum.
Well, today the story of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the thirteen tombs is here.
