As everyone knows, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended to the throne by launching the Battle of Jingnan. When he hit the city of Nanjing, Emperor Jianwen had already sneaked away, and his life and death were unknown. After Zhu Di became emperor, in order to prevent the restoration of Emperor Jianwen, he sent a large number of people to find Emperor Jianwen. Among them, it was Zheng He who went to sea to look for it, and it was Hu Qian who went to the sea to look for it. It is rumored that Emperor Jianwen was a monk and became a monk, so Zhu Di ordered Hu Xi to visit temples all over the world. Later, whether Hu Qi and Zheng He found Emperor Jianwen or not, we also don't know. But why did Zhu Di order the arrest of nuns in the world while investigating the monks? Could it be that Emperor Jianwen could still change sex? Today Xiaobian will reveal the truth to you.
After Ming Chengzu succeeded, he decided to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. In order to support the officials and army of the capital, a large number of palaces had to be built. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also carried out the transfer of grain from the south to the north, repaired the canal, and dug the Huitong River. These huge projects require the transfer of a large number of people's husbands, and the father of Tang Sai'er, a Shandong girl, is one of the people's husbands who have been transferred. During the Yongle years, there were successive floods and droughts in Shandong, but the local government was still violent. As a result, ordinary people can only eat bark and nibble grass roots, and many people starve to death.
When Tang Sai'er's father was arrested and sent to serve in labor, Tang Sai'er and her husband Lin San rushed into the official palace to beg for grain, and Lin San was killed by the government. Later, Tang Sai'er's father died of grief, and his mother also died of a serious illness. Tang Sai'er couldn't bear it anymore and decided to revolt. When she was going to the grave for her husband, she found the White Lotus Sect's books and swords from the stones at the foot of the mountain. So she called herself "Mother Buddha" and launched an uprising in the name of the White Lotus Sect. In order to create public opinion, she claimed that she could cut paper as a soldier, predict the future, and know many spells. The common people were so persecuted by the government that they believed Tang Sai'er's words and followed her in the uprising.
Tang Sai'er used the unloading stone shed as the site of the uprising, formed the White Lotus Army, and in the initial battle, he killed Gao Feng, the commander of the Wei capital of Qingzhou. After the initial victory, Tang Sai'er's army was greatly enhanced, and soon the flames of the uprising burned throughout more than a dozen nearby counties. More than a dozen rebel armies also appeared in Yidu, Zhucheng, Anqiu and other places. Zhu Di saw that Tang Sai'er's White Lotus Army was not trivial, so he wanted to recruit her, but he was beheaded by Tang Sai'er. Zhu Di was furious and ordered Liu Shenghe, the Marquis of Anyuan, to command Liu Zhong to lead 5,000 elite troops to suppress it.
Liu Sheng suffered a big loss because he despised Tang Sai'er's peasant army. When he was about to fail, Du, who was defending against Wokou on the southeast coast, commanded Wei Qing to lead his troops to arrive and defeated the White Lotus Army with him. After the failure of the White Lotus Army uprising, Tang Sai'er escaped. In order to prevent her from mixing into the ranks of nuns, Zhu Di sent more than 10,000 nuns to be arrested and interrogated in Jingshi. But even so, Tang Sai'er still had no news.
