The emperor adopts beggars? This is a surprise to people, how a saint who is the son of heaven in a country can adopt a beggar. But there was such an emperor who adopted a beggar, and later in order to repay the emperor's nurturing grace, his children and grandchildren were guarding the frontier for China, so China had one more province.
Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be an outstanding military general and commander- and a strategic strategist with great talent. He established the Ming Dynasty, ended the brutal rule of the Mongols in China, recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the homeland of China that had been lost for four hundred years, pacified all parts of the country, and finally completed the great unification of China. Seeing the arrogance and domineering of the officials, he hated the corrupt officials to the bone, and even stipulated that if the amount of embezzlement reached sixty taels of silver, he would be sentenced to death. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he vigorously pursued the policy of people's livelihood, encouraged the people to reclaim the land, reduced taxes and servitude, suppressed the powerful and powerful in various localities, built water conservancy projects, and advocated the cultivation of cotton and linen and other cash crops.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry with his ministers, he was very generous to the people, and he believed that only the hardships of being an official would the people have a good life. During his reign, he worked for the welfare of the people everywhere. He also often made private visits to see if the people were doing well. A good emperor indeed.
When he was not yet emperor, he once found a beggar on the side of the road, only a teenager, a poor man lying on the street. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and remembered that when he was a child, he also begged on the street because he had no food to eat. He didn't have any children himself, so he took the child back to the camp, because he was serving as a soldier for Guo Zixing at the time, and there was no home but a military camp.
After he brought the child back, he adopted him as his righteous son and changed his surname to Zhu.
When he grew up, Zhu Ying followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the world, and at the age of eighteen he held an important position in the army.
This Zhu Ying is also a generation of generals, he fought from Jiangxi to Fujian, and then from Gansu to Sichuan, almost all over half of China, it can be said that he made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, he was given the surname Mu and the name Ying. He has a body of skills, the southern conquest of the northern war, made a lot of military achievements, but never proud. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, some Mongol forces often harassed him, so Mu Ying led troops to sweep away these forces, and Zhu Yuanzhang let him stay in Yunnan to guard the frontier.
There were often rebellions in the southern generation, and Mu Ying led his troops to heroically quell these rebellions, and it was the Yunnan area that calmed down. He not only fought fiercely, but also was a talent for economic development, building water conservancy in Yunnan, which improved the living standards of the people, and he also reduced taxes and was loved by the people in the local area.
Mu Yingzhen guarded Yunnan, but also wanted to be dangerous. There was a rebellion, the other side claimed to be 300,000 troops, Muying Town garrison will not be more than 40,000, and what is more frightening is that the other side has a secret weapon elephant. Although the scene is extremely unfavorable, as a general who has been fighting for many years, this is really not a big deal. Especially Mu Ying's preference: firearms. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was regretted by many people was because they stood at the forefront of the technological era, and when Mu Ying began to fire with three-stage muskets, Europe did not start to use it until the Napoleonic era.
