Needless to say, this is one of the three great prosperities of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne, Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingnan, which lasted for four years, and eventually Zhu Di became emperor, that is, Ming Chengzu. Although the imperial throne did not come too gloriously, Zhu Di was not ambiguous at all when he became emperor.
Zhu Di reigned for 22 years, he worked hard to govern, so that the world can be ruled, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the territory is vast, and publicize the prestige of the country, vigorously open up overseas exchanges.
Zheng He was sent to the West, and even Vietnam was incorporated into Ming territory. Historians call this period "Yongle Shengshi".
But just under this great age, there was an uprising, which is puzzling, so what is going on?
It is said that peasant uprisings generally occur at the end of the dynasty, usually at this time, the emperor will become incompetent, corrupt and rampant, and the people will be even more violent, forcing the people to live, that is, we often say that the officials force the people to rebel.
Compared with the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, this uprising may be a little small, but the impact is actually very large. And there is a special thing about this uprising, that is, the leader is a woman.
This woman is Tang Sai'er, born in Shandong. Shandong We know that the uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was quite seriously damaged, just a little better, the Battle of Jingnan broke out, Shandong is still the main battlefield, and it is even worse.
In fact, for Shandong, after Zhu Di became emperor, it was not unclear, Zhu Di once said: "The people of the north today, such as people who are seriously ill at the beginning, are good at conditioning, and they can be safe." Otherwise, the disease will get worse. So the night fist is also. ”
But it is easier said than done, the most difficult, What Zhu Di wants to do has not yet been done, he has been planning to move the capital, thinking about the Northern Expedition, and digging the canal to build a large number of civil engineering, making the people's servitude very heavy.
Shandong was already full of complaints, and with the flood and drought disasters that occurred for many years at that time, the poor people at the bottom had no way to live, and finally had to be forced to embark on the road of uprising.
The rebel army organized by Tang Sai'er, called the "White Lotus Army", gathered thousands of people. As a result of the uprising, dozens of teams responded, tens of thousands.
Due to the lack of power in the place, the matter reached Zhu Di. This made Zhu Di have to take it seriously, after all, Shandong has a large population, and Shandong is a major transport route, it can be said that Shandong's stability is very important.
Therefore, Zhu Di sent a large army to suppress the situation, and finally suppressed this rebel army.
