People who are familiar with the history of Ming know that Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, suffered a lot during his own efforts from a commoner to the founding emperor, but in the end he could achieve great things, but he could not do without the help of one person, that is, his wife Empress Ma, and there are also historical records that his name is Ma Xiuying.
?? Empress Ma has a good reputation in Chinese history, and is known as one of the four great empresses of China, which is more than the eldest grandson empress of Tang Taizong. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the world for the Zhu family to kill, butcher knife raised to the crown prince's teacher Song Lian, and finally Empress Ma used hunger strike as an excuse, and finally Zhu Yuanzhang had to let go of Song Lian.
?? Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma met when Zhu Yuanzhang was a soldier, when Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing as a small soldier and slowly rose to become a pro-soldier. Once, when Guo Zixing was inspecting, he found that the tall prestige of this military station and his appearance were also very peculiar, so he learned that his name was Zhu Yuanzhang when he asked. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to set up military engineering, and at that time, in order to win him over, Guo Zixing specially assigned Ma Xiuyingxu, the righteous daughter at that time, to him as a wife. Ma Shi and Zhu Yuanzhang fell in love at first sight, and from that time on, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang fought together in the world, and Guo Tianshu Zhang Tianyou and others were killed in nanjing, so The heavenly opportunity was given to Zhu Yuanzhang to take the city of Nanjing without bloodshed.
After taking Nanjing, there were still two fierce enemies in the Yangtze River Valley, one was Chen Youyi in the upper reaches and Zhang Shicheng in the lower reaches, both of whom were stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, it was fortunate that Empress Arima stabilized the rear and established a Gestapo for the future establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows that the Battle of Longjiang was a big battle between Chen Youyi and Zhu Yuanzhang, and after this battle, the balance that had the advantage of victory behind Chen Youyu's side gradually came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and the strength of the two sides was basically equal. In the end, Chen Youyi forgave Zhu Yuanzhang for fighting a bloody battle at Poyang Lake, and Chen Youyi was killed in battle. Later, less than two years later, he fought to the east to eliminate Zhang Shicheng, and at this time Zhu Yuanzhang could be said to occupy half of the Jiangnan River, only one step away from being called emperor.
?? In the first month of the second year after the settlement of King Xiaoming, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne at the Purple Mountain as emperor, with the name of Daming, Jianyuan Hongwu, and the capital of Nanjing, with the Lima clan as empress and the eldest son Zhu Biao as crown prince. For Ma Xiuying, the cloth empress, Zhu Yuanzhang can say that throughout her life she is the most loved woman of Old Zhu, although many women have given birth to many sons, but none of them are originally matched.
During her tenure as empress, she repeatedly advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to kill people, and the effect was relatively good, except for those who should be killed. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Empress Ma died of illness and Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad. It is said that when he died at that time, many ordinary people specially sent off the people, knowing that The Horse Queen treated the people like a son! The love between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma finally became a beautiful talk for eternity!
