The Son of Heaven guards the gates of the kingdom, and the King dies.
In China's feudal dynasties, only the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang and the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang were dynasties established by the revolt of the lower classes of the people, while most of the other dynasties were usurpers of power by foreign relatives, or the ruling class gentry class, so the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty attached more importance to the people of Li to a certain extent, representing the voice of the people at the bottom.
Emperors of the ages, forever stained
Qin Shi Huang won the unification of the six hehes, swept through the eight wildernesses, established the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history, unified the world, unified currency, weights and measures, so that the country has achieved benign development, but unfortunately, only 15 years, the Qin Dynasty died twice.
After the Chu and Han dynasties fought, Liu Bang went up step by step from a pavilion chief to the end, and finally defeated Xiang Yu and created the Han Dynasty for 400 years, making the Han Dynasty a dynasty that cannot be ignored in history. How domineering and heroic this sentence sounds.
However, what people don't know is that this sentence was not said by Liu Bang, but by Emperor Xuan of Han, and the Han Dynasty at that time really had the strength to say this sentence. During the period before Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he was once surrounded by Xiongnu in the north for seven days and seven nights at Baideng Mountain, and was almost captured.
Liu Bang managed to escape, and after that, he had been worried, so he came up with a strategy to appease the Xiongnu, which was more of a national policy, that is, to make peace, send the women of the Han Dynasty and a large amount of dowry materials to the Xiongnu in exchange for a short period of peace, but this was ultimately a symptom rather than a cure.
Even if they were close to each other, the Xiongnu still killed and plundered on the border, and it was not until Emperor Wu of Han succeeded to the throne that the policy of taking the initiative to completely quell the rebellion of the Xiongnu was completely quelled, however, peace and kinship were known to be undesirable, but the dynasties were very enthusiastic, and even preferred to do an act.
In exchange for the security of the border, after that, the number of peace and pro-national policies in the Central Plains reached more than 130 times, and the formulation of pro-national policies also made Liu Bang, a majestic and ambitious king, stained with a stain that could not be erased in his life.
Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world
A thousand years later, a cattle herder who also had the same fate as Liu Bang rose up in the face of the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, unified the whole country in 15 years, and established the last Han dynasty--- the Ming Dynasty, known in history as Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang admired this Han Gaozu Liu Bang who was born in the same grass as himself.
He even memorized the "Gao Zu Benji", but when he learned that Liu Bang had set the policy of peace and pro-nationality, he was silent for a long time, and after the establishment of Daming, he imitated the old system of the Han Dynasty in the formulation of many policies, but only the article of harmony and pro-nationality, he not only did not imitate it, but reversed this national policy.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was called empress dowager, in the face of Goryeo provocations, ordered the general Xu Da to lead an army to fight and conquer the country, and after Goryeo surrendered, he paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang ordered: I have a few children here, and if there are girls from good families, they will send him over and kiss him.
This means that the Ming Dynasty not only did not send princesses to make peace, but on the contrary, you also had to send the princess over and guarantee peace in your country with us and relatives, otherwise, your Goryeo kingdom would cease to exist and be included in our Ming territory and become a province of our Ming Dynasty.
Posthumous honorific title: GangMing
A few years later, they would not have thought that the people of later generations would list the four most powerful dynasties in history, and give them elegant names: Qiang Qin, Juhan, Sheng Tang and Gangming, these four dynasties are recognized by people, the four most powerful dynasties established by the Han, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is a meritocracy, with Li Shanchang's policy of "building walls high, accumulating grain, and slowly claiming the title of king", it took 15 years to defeat Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng, and then destroyed the Yuan Dynasty to complete the unification and set the name of the country as Daming.
Recuperate and recuperate, improve people's livelihood, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Yan king Zhu Di seized the throne through a coup d'état, he was a pioneer, six times the royal conquest, completely eliminated the main force of the surrounding nomads, ensured the safety of Daming, and cleared the obstacles for future generations, it was for Ming Chengzu, after Ming Chengzu, Akihito chose to develop the people's livelihood with benevolence, but he was not rewarded, founded the country for thirty years, but he died after only ten months on the throne.
Fortunately, Ming Xuanzong inherited his last wishes, worked hard to govern, recuperated, and created a prosperous world that was no less than the rule of Wenjing---- the rule of Ren Xuanzhi, and thus began the 278-year reign of Daming, not to be harmonious, not to pay tribute, not to pay compensation, the son of heaven to guard the country's gate, the king to die in the community!
The capital of the country was set in Beijing, completely eliminating the harassment of the dynasty by nomads, and looking at the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, even in the last years, the Ming Dynasty's national strength declined, but it still defeated Portugal, which was known as the hegemon of the sea, and in the last forty years of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng successfully recovered Taiwan.
Until the last Chongzhen Emperor, as the king of the fallen country, he still did not choose to surrender, but chose to kill all his family members to avoid them being insulted by the thief army, and then hanged himself on the old crooked neck tree of coal mountain, and left a letter: Ren Thief split the corpse, do not hurt the people.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty fell, and the Chongzhen Emperor proved the dignity of Daming with his actions, and to this day, when reading the sentence That The Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country and the king dies, it will still make people feel excited and admired.
Look at the dynasty from the Ming Dynasty
Looking at all the dynasties in Chinese history, the Ming Dynasty is definitely a dynasty that must not be mentioned, but it is also a rather contradictory dynasty, his foreign policy is called domineering by netizens, he is the last unified dynasty established by the Han people, and the Ming Dynasty truly shows the integrity of the Chinese nation.
However, his contradiction was that since the founding of the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, through the fourth generation of the ancestors, he finally prospered the governance of the Ming Dynasty, but within a few years after the death of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, the change of Tumu Fort broke out, Ming Yingzong became a prisoner, and Emperor Ming Shenzong did not go to the dynasty for 15 years and was obsessed with cultivating immortals.
The germ of capitalism has been eliminated, so that China has missed the opportunity to become the world's strongest country at the earliest, and the proposal of the three principles and five constants has also greatly imprisoned the mind and destroyed human nature. In fact, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao a thousand years ago, also knew that peace and affinity were not a long-term solution, but he did not have the courage to confront the Xiongnu with a shadow in his heart.
The important thing about the Ming Dynasty is that it dares to fight for it, creating its integrity, as the saying goes, gold has no feet, no one is perfect, a person cannot be full of advantages, nor can it be full of shortcomings, the same reason, the same is true for the dynasty.
In the history of China, these dynasties set off monstrous waves, becoming the world's first again and again, but eventually because of the drawbacks, they went to the subjugation of the country. For history, we should rationally look at, criticize the inheritance, learn what is good, and correct the wrong place, which is the best reflection and respect for history.
