The Ming Dynasty established a state in Nanjing, controlled by the south and ruled the world from the north, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan still invaded and harassed the north of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang specially set up the central arch of the Cypriot King to defend the border plugs and resist the Mongol invasion. They have the responsibility of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and they are guarding the fortress to carry out tun tian production. And each king of the clan ate grain and had military command, and there were 3,000 guards in the palace, and 20,000 people in the palace. However, there were nine kings of Sai, and because of the people who defended against the Mongol Jurchens and other invaders, they had a large army and were entrenched in the north.
Qin Wang Zhu Zhu, Jianfan Shaanxi Xi'an Prefecture; Jin Wang Zhu Tang, Jianfan Shanxi Taiyuan Prefecture; Yan King Zhu Di, Jianfan BeipingFu; Daiwang Zhu Gui, Jianfan Shanxi DatongFu; SuWang Zhu Yu, Jianfan PingliangFu; Liaowang Zhu Zhi, Jianfan Guangning Prefecture; Qingwang Zhu Li, Jianfan Weizhou; Ningwang Zhu Quan, Jianfan Daning Wei; GuWang ZhuXuan, Jianfan Shanggu Xuanfu; Han Wang Zhu Song, Jianfan Liaodong Kaiyuan. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the princes of the clan were all sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, and among the nine kings of the Great Sai, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, was the most outstanding in battle, and Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered "temperance along the border horses" and held a unique position.
The largest number of troops of the Nine Great Sai Kings was zhu di, the king of Yan, who had 100,000 troops, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who had "80,000 armored soldiers and 6,000 chariots", and the Duoyan Three Guards cavalry that belonged to it was the most courageous and good at war. During the Jianwen Emperor's period, the pattern of the King of Sai became different, before the Jianwen Emperor cut the domain, and then there was the King of Yan who ascended the throne as emperor and migrated to the King of Sai.
With the passage of time, the northern yuan collapsed, and the power of the king of the clan became stronger. To a certain extent, it threatened the central imperial court, as early as when Zhu Yuanzhang divided the kings, a county instructor named Ye Boju pointed out that this would cause a situation where the tail would not fall and endanger the central government. Causing Zhu Yuanzhang's displeasure, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not listen, but also put him in prison and executed. As Ye Jubo predicted, Zhu Di's rebellion endangered the central government, and eventually succeeded in declaring himself emperor, and the whereabouts of the orthodox Zhu Yunjiao were unknown.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so shrewd that he knew all the things that the feudal dynasty had divided. The "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" of the Han Dynasty and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" of the Western Jin Dynasty are naturally clear, but Zhu Yuanzhang still practiced feudal affairs. Because he knew that if he didn't divide the seals, the Zhu family's world would not be stable. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang divided the sons of Liu surnamed Liu to various places as the king of the domain, arching and defending the central government, and it was to see that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the local masses rose up together, and the central whip was beyond reach, so they could divide the seals. If it were not for the great power of the local clan, Lü Yan's Lü clan would have long thought of usurping the throne, which would be so peaceful, sitting and waiting for Zhou Bo and other raiders to ask for it.

The later "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" of the Western Jin Dynasty was to see how Cao Wei Jiye was easily taken away by his own Sima family, and then he was able to divide the kings. There is also the bloody example of Li Tang, the Li Tang royal family is about to be slaughtered by Wu Zetian, and the best thing is to be degraded to the local captivity. The central royal family, which did not have the same surname as the king of the clan, was easily slaughtered by the courtiers, and the ministers rebelled and had to think about whether the local clan king would agree. The Ming Dynasty implemented the system of dividing seals, and now junior high school students know that they are driving back in history, but the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely chose to divide the seals.
Moreover, the ming dynasty king only controlled a part of the soldiers and horses, and could not interfere with the local administration, and the money and grain were given by the local government, which can be said to be a death limit. There were no local clan kings, and young emperors and incompetent emperors were easily held hostage by courtiers to control the court, and so many clan kings could enter the capital at any time. Local clan kings existed, and courtiers did not dare to do too much.
