Interesting answer: When Zhu Yuanzhang was called emperor, like his brothers and sisters, the people of that generation were basically gone. And there are traces to follow, including but not limited to Zhu Yuanzhang's niece and nephew, and the nephew who has fallen eight lifetimes of mold.
The birth of a jeopardy
This sentence is definitely not a joke, nor is it a special term in a certain cross-talk, simply looking at Zhu Yuanzhang is a killer.
Originally, I still wanted to find out the day when Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and his brothers and sisters died, but later I thought that there was no need to think about it, after all, everyone knew this historical knowledge point.
We need to briefly talk about how Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and his brothers and sisters died.
There are many historical theories about this, and we have come up with the most reliable one called the Repair of the Yellow River.
This may be difficult for everyone to understand, after all, it is only to build a Yellow River. Wait, building a Yellow River seemed to be a big workload in ancient times.
The Yellow River broke its banks, and the imperial court officials at that time stood in two teams, one advocating repair and the other advocating non-repair.
The team that ultimately advocated maintenance won and repaired the Yellow River in the near future.
This was originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but there was chaos in the maintenance of the Yellow River, such as the nature of corruption in the Yuan Empire.
At that time, there was a maintenance fee for repairing the Yellow River, and the local officials at that time also hoped to be able to make a profit from it, so you fished me and fished it, and fished it and went to Zhu Yuanzhang's home.
Zhu Yuanzhang's family had no money to take out the grain, and this grain was not ordinary grain, but grown grain.
So under the delay of lack of food and some diseases, slowly the family went underground.
Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards relatives
First of all, this extermination is not a jeopardy in the absolute sense, Zhu Yuanzhang in addition to his own daughter-in-law, his own children, there are still some relatives.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's subsequent political career, we can clearly see that Zhu Yuanzhang showed two different attitudes toward his relatives and family and for local officials, namely, stricter than self-discipline.
And such a change of law and attitude directly allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to do many wrong things in the later stage, such as the king of the side domain.
We do not have enough data, nor do we have enough evidence to show that in the Chongzhen era, Zhu Yuanzhang's heirs totaled as many, but it is not difficult for us to find from the Jiaqing period and the corresponding continuation from the Wanli period that zhu Yuanzhang's heirs in the Chongzhen era are very likely to exceed one million.
Such a giant clan brought indelible suppression to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's family, and even the entire World of the Zhu Family.
