Zhu Yuanzhang, as the only emperor in history who was born at the lowest level of society, although he formulated many good policies for the people after he became emperor, he still became a "tyrant" who was scolded by people under the rendering of vested interests who controlled a certain right to speak.
Because he cut the cake of the vested interests and distributed it to more people, he can only become the "tyrant" in the mouths of the vested interests, and the people, because of their lack of judgment, can only listen to the wind and the rain.
Of course, it is undeniable that Zhu Yuanzhang did cut off the heads of many heroes in order to consolidate the old Zhu family's Jiangshan, such as Hu Weiyong's case before and after killing more than 30,000 people, and the Blue Jade case killing more than 10,000 people.
However, the descendants of an Arab were not the founding heroes who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the country, nor did they become officials in the dynasty, but they were ruthlessly liquidated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and almost no one with one surname and one family escaped.
The surname is Pu, and the descendants of this Arab have created a thriving family of Pu.
The Pu family originally lived in Guangzhou, to do business, and then Quanzhou's status gradually surpassed Guangzhou, in order to seek further development, obtain more economic benefits, the Pu family moved from Guangzhou to Quanzhou.
The Pu family is indeed quite business-minded, and they not only quickly gained a foothold in Quanzhou, but also quickly developed into a famous maritime giant merchant in Quanzhou.
Pu Shou Geng is a key figure who pushed the Pu family from the peak of the business world to the peak of the political world, of course, in fact, Pu Shou Geng's father Pu Kaizong was also granted an official position by the Song Dynasty government, although it was only a virtual position, but it also provided convenience for the development of the Pu family, after all, it is also a good development of business and officials.
Because the Pu family is a giant merchant on the sea, has countless ships, and has a force that cannot be underestimated on the sea, so when the Song and Yuan dynasties were fighting, they all thought that they could win over the Pu family for their own use, so as to use the Pu family's sea power to deal with their enemies.
In May 1276, Emperor Duanzong of Song sent people to Quanzhou to try to use a "Fujian Guangdong envoy" to woo Pu Shou Geng, but unfortunately it did not succeed, because as early as February of this year, the Yuan Dynasty had already sent people to Quanzhou to lure Pu Shou Geng, and Pu Shou Geng weighed the pros and cons, believing that the Song Dynasty had no hope, so he surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty failed to recruit Pu, and Zhang Shijie led an army to besiege the Pu family in Quanzhou, and could not fight for three months, which shows that the Song Dynasty has indeed come to an end.
After Pu Shougeng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, in order to gain the trust and reuse of the Yuan Dynasty, he handed the Yuan Dynasty a "bloody" submission.
Zhang Shijie, because he did not have enough ships in his hand, he started the idea of the Pu family, and robbed the Pu family of many ships and materials with his black hands, thus angering Pu Shou Geng, which was not only a reason why Pu Shou Geng later decided to lower the Yuan, but also a fuse for Pu Shou Geng to throw his name at Yuan Chaona later.
Pu ShouGeng's letter to the Yuan Dynasty was to kill the various clan chambers and the scholars and soldiers in the spring.
In a fit of rage, he killed thousands of zhao and Song emperors and scholars, and completely turned to the Yuan Dynasty, which looked at the Yuan Dynasty, hey, Pu Shou Geng really could only fall to his side, so he began to use the power of the Pu family to deal with the song dynasty at the end of the road.
For Pu Shou Geng's massacre of the Zhao Song Sect Chamber and the Scholar Master, the Shi Lin suddenly exploded, and Pu Shou Geng's behavior was different from that of animals and beasts?
Although the readers put Pu Shou Geng's scolding of the dog bloody head, but the Pu family should be the official after the reduction of the yuan, the money that should be earned is still earned, and there is no loss because of the spit of the reader.
Later, the Yuan Dynasty also came to an end because of the decay of the rulers, and all the Haojie groups rebelled against the Yuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang spent more than ten years from a beggar monk who could not eat to an emperor who sat on tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and he also began to liquidate the Pu family after becoming emperor.
For Pu Shougeng's behavior, the history books call it "rebellion against the Song Dynasty and descending the Yuan", but in fact, the Pu family is a "Hui Hui" person, but strictly speaking, it is not a Song person, and perhaps from the beginning the Pu family had no sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty.
But in any case, the voice at that time had already characterized Pu Shou Geng as a "traitor to the Song", so Zhu Yuanzhang, who had climbed up from a beggar monk, had to respond in order to gain the approval and support of the gentry class: Yes, Pu Shou Geng betrayed the Song Dynasty, and if there was no betrayal of Pu Shou Geng, perhaps the Song Dynasty would not have died, so I had to liquidate the Pu family for the sake of the Han family.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang decided to liquidate the Pu family, in addition to the Pu family's "rebellion against the Song Dynasty and the Yuan", was also because the Pu family occupied Quanzhou and became a giant merchant in Quanzhou, with money!
Shen Wansan worked hard to help Zhu Yuanzhang build the city wall, why did he still not escape Zhu Yuanzhang's black hand? It's because he's so rich.
Pu Shou Geng is also because he has money, so he can become the object of the Song and Yuan sides at the time of the Song and Yuan controversy, there is no way, it costs money to fight the Jiangshan, and it also costs money to govern the Jiangshan, so the money cannot be in the hands of others.
Therefore, the Pu family must be liquidated.
For the Pu family's "rebellion against the Song Dynasty and the surrender of the Yuan", Zhu Yuanzhang gave such a punishment - "Taizu forbade those with the surname Pu not to study and enter the shi".
Even if the descendants of the Pu family occasionally read and entered the family, they had to change their appearance, and openly did not dare to use the Pu surname, but changed to the Wu surname or the Huang surname.
In 1374, Zhu Yuanzhang granted amnesty to the world, but the Pu family was excluded, "the remnants of the Dupu clan were imprisoned by Rong Wu, and there was no one in the world to be registered."
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment of the Pu family did not reach the point where "men are slaves in the world, and women are prostitutes on behalf of them".
In fact, long before Zhu Yuanzhang liquidated the Pu family, the Pu family had already suffered a certain degree of retaliation, "sending pu thieves to the tombs", "all pu households are dignified in the West", "with five punishments and cursed, abandoning their chests in the pig trough, and reporting to the Song Dynasty", compared with this, Zhu Yuanzhang's methods have been considered mild.
