He went from the village of Zhong, where natural and man-made disasters and hunger and cold were caused, all the way to the ascension to the throne in Nanjing, and the path he took with his civilian and military generals was not only for the benefit of private individuals and a certain class, but also as he said to himself--I am the right cloth of Huaihuai, and the world is under me He Jiayan.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a strategy in mind, far-sightedness, good at controlling war, and grasping the initiative.

The academic community has positively affirmed his great talent and great contribution to Chinese history. Li Shimin was an accomplished politician and military figure who played a leading role in the struggle against the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the victory of The Tang Taizong Xuanwumen Revolution objectively played a positive role in the development of the social history of the early Tang Dynasty. Tang Taizong did not discriminate against ethnic minorities, and in addition to harassing the Turks and using troops, he mainly used Huairou's political means to deal with ethnic issues, with appropriate methods and enlightened policies, which were conducive to the unity of the nation and the unity of the country.
