The kings of the Ming Dynasty did not have a single soft bone. Starting from The Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, all the way to the last Chongzhen Emperor, there were no princesses and relatives, no cession of land, and no clauses for the loss of power and humiliation of the country were signed. But the world often says that Zhu Yuanzhang is just a beggar, and it is ridiculous to let a beggar be the king.
In fact, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed born as a beggar. Although his birth is not noble, Zhu Yuanzhang's body implies a king's qi, where does the qi of a beggar king come from? How could he run to a beggar; he also helped this beggar establish the Ming Dynasty; let this beggar ascend to the position of supreme ruler? Liu Bowen's words spoke of the heavenly opportunity of the king's qi.
In the yuan dynasty, a small baby boy was born in a poor peasant family on the border. This little baby boy was the fourth oldest in the family and the eighth in the clan relatives, so the patriarch gave him the name Zhu Zhongba. Zhu Zhongba also had a good time when he was a teenager, although his family lived in poverty, but his brothers always took good care of him.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was three years, when Zhu Zhongba's hometown suffered a severe drought, and the farmers worked hard to harvest the grains. Finally, in the spring, after surviving the drought, the plague and the locust plague came again. The peasants' lives are hopeless, and there are countless corpses that starve to death and die of illness on the streets. Zhu Zhongba's father, mother, and brother also closed their eyes in the face of successive disasters.
With the help of his neighbors, Zhu Zhongba swept the bodies of his relatives with a mat of grass to properly bury them, and in order to survive, he worshiped under the monk GaoBin of the Huangjue Temple, and after shaving his head, he became a sprinkler monk. In the days of the monastery, Zhu Zhongba had to wash and cook, collect firewood and grow vegetables, and was often reprimanded by his master, and he had a very hard time.
Later, the locust plague became more and more serious, and few people in the monastery came to offer incense and alms. The abbot of Huangjue Temple gathered all the monks and told everyone that the monastery could no longer provide food, and if they did not want to be starved to death, they would have to go out with a bowl on their own. Of course, accommodation is still available, and elderly monks can stay in the temple nearby.
At this time, the 17-year-old Zhu Zhongba's meal volume increased sharply, and the nearby farmers were all poor families affected by the locust plague, so in desperation, Zhu Zhongba took the bowl to the road alone and went further afield to seek a way to survive. The young Zhu Zhongba said that he was a fate, but in fact he was constantly begging and becoming a beggar. However, it was also these years of begging and wandering that allowed Zhu Zhongba to broaden his horizons and accumulate contacts.
In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, peasants in various places revolted against the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty regime. Zhu Zhongba also received a letter from his childhood playmate Tang He, inviting him to join the "Red Turban Army" Zhu Zhongba, after careful consideration, resolutely joined the ranks of the "Red Turban Army" and became a member of the peasant rebel army.
After becoming a rebel army, Zhu Zhongba felt that his name was too ordinary, so he changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang, which sounded very atmospheric. After enlisting and changing his name, Zhu Yuanzhang fought bravely, wited and clever, and made outstanding military achievements. His exploits also received the attention of the leader Guo Zixing, who received Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already twenty-five years old, and it was when he was young. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was angry, was appreciated by Guo Zixing. Guo Zixing also married his adopted daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang. The little beggar Zhu Zhongba became zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of the rebel army, through his own efforts. Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife is also very beautiful, and Zhu Yuanzhang at this time is definitely a winner in life.
However, the good times did not last long, and there were 5 leaders in the Red Turban Army, often because of disagreements and quarrels. Each has its own opinion, and no one will give in. When one of the parties is more powerful, internal strife begins. The result of all wanting to become the supreme leader was that no one could become the leader, but was weakened by the Yuan army.
After a battle, the rebel army was seriously wounded by the Yuan army. In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang shouldered the heavy responsibility of returning to his hometown to recruit troops. After returning to his hometown, his childhood playmates in his hometown were all under Zhu Yuanzhang's command at the end of Zhu Yuanzhang, and in just half a month, Zhu Yuanzhang had pulled up a small team of 30,000 people.
It was also in his hometown that Zhu Yuanzhang met the descendants of his own clan relatives, one called Zhu Yuanzhang's uncle and the other called Zhu Yuanzhang's uncle. Zhu Yuanzhang was distressed by the suffering of the two children in their early years, so he adopted the two children as righteous sons. Later, at the suggestion of his colleague Li Shanchang, he established himself as king. Began the forerunner of the Ming Dynasty.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the army strictly, discipline was strict. The military quality of his soldiers is very outstanding, and more people are willing to fight with him in the world. At this time, someone introduced Liu Bowen to Sai Zhuge for Zhu Yuanzhang. As soon as the two saw each other, Liu Bowen stayed with Zhu Yuanzhang as a courtier, and Zhu Yuanzhang's power was out of control from then on.
After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming dynasty, and the founding fathers of the country were rewarded for their merits. At this time, in addition to his own relatives, Zhu Yuanzhang had already recognized more than twenty righteous sons. In the process of rewarding meritorious deeds, these righteous sons fought for their own identity and merit, harmed the people, robbed the people's women, and beheaded according to military law!
If you obey the military law, you will lose nearly twenty of your cronies, and if you do not obey the military law, how will the Ming regime govern the world in the future. In a dilemma, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and then resolutely ordered a military law to deal with it. Bright red blood spilled all over the city wall, and it also returned the hearts of countless people. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the corpses of his sons and nephews parked in the room and cried bitterly.
Outside the door came Liu Bowen's voice, congratulations to the Grand Marshal, He Xi Grand Marshal, jinling city above a dragon qi, and the breath emitted from your body complements each other. It's a king's breath. Zhu Yuanzhang said in frustration that he could not even protect his relatives and righteous sons, and that this leader was in the nest.
Liu Bowen said that if you did not have the spirit of the king, you would not deal with these sons and nephews with military law, and even if you did, there would be no painful emotions. In fact, Liu Bowen was telling Zhu Yuanzhang that because you did this, you won the hearts of the people, and those who won the hearts of the people since ancient times won the world. It wins the hearts and minds of the people, but it does not make everyone think that you are indifferent.
Perhaps, some people can understand Wang Qi as the original heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not abandon the original heart precisely because he has experienced too much. In order to follow the heart of the person to do things. However, above the ten thousand people, there is no one, it is very lonely, the king's ordeal has just begun, the road ahead is still very long, some people in the king's life will come, and some people must also go.
Many times for the king, success is achieved by stepping on the white bone. There is something to give, and when you get it, you must also lose something. Zhu Yuanzhang's life from a poor man to a beggar, from a beggar to a king, created a hundred years of prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, which may be liu Bowen said that the king's spirit.
