Portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang
"What er does, too, does not need to be asked." When I was poor, did I know that today is the Son of Heaven? ”
This is a rather famous sentence spoken by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang after he returned to his hometown, liu De, a mean hometown landlord. This means that what you did is also the normal sentiment of people, and I will not pursue it anymore.
However, when I was extremely poor, can you imagine that I, Zhu Zhongba, a cowherd baby, can become the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty today?
In fact, don't say that a small landlord in Fengyang County, Fengyang County, who is far away from Taiping Township, does not understand, that is, Chen Youyou, who originally had millions of troops and occupied half of the world (Liu Ji), was impatient to be called emperor, and did not understand until his death.
Zhu Yuanzhang, why can he defeat his 600,000 water army with 200,000. Let Poyang Lake become his burial place, and also let Poyang Lake become the battlefield of the largest water war in history, and its name will go down in history.
This battle, not only with the scale of 800,000 people, but also unprecedented, is also a 1:3 disparity, with a weak counterattack and victory.
The demise of Chen Youyi. The next one is the turn of Zhang Jiusi (Zhang Shicheng), the King of Wu, who foolishly chose to sit by when the two powers were competing.
King Wu's territory was not large, but it was a rich country in the southeast. Strong financial resources, fish and rice cream, 100,000 armored soldiers, strong soldiers and strong horses. However, in the end, he was also defeated, and after being escorted to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, he committed suicide.
As the Yuan Shun Emperor, a descendant of Genghis Khan, he didn't seem to understand it.
In his eyes, the diaosi, and sandwiched between the "Han Emperor" Chen Youyu and the Wu king Zhang Jiusi of the Shunyuan Dynasty, did not show the mountains and dew, and Should be the first to perish, how did Zhu Baba, suddenly, become the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang?
It should be said that before the Battle of Poyang Lake, the focus of the Yuan Dynasty's suppression of bandits was on the side of Chen Youyi and Zhang Shicheng.
It was Chen and Zhang who blocked most of the bullets of the bandits at the end of the Yuan Dynasty for Zhu Yuanzhang, so that Zhu's policy of "accumulating grain and slowly claiming the title of king" could be perfectly implemented.
Fundamentally speaking, the Yuan Dynasty did not attach importance to the integration and understanding of the Central Plains culture, and brazenly separated the Central Plains Han people from the original ruling class and beat them to the lowest, fourth-class "Southerners", thus arousing the fierce death of the Central Plains gentry and the people who held the Han culture.
According to statistics, the capital of Mongolia and Yuanding has been in Beijing for more than a hundred years, and it seems that the nine sides are fixed and the four seas are rising, but in fact, it is only 22 years, which is a calm period without the activities of the rebel army. The whole country was even more chaotic than before the Battle of Yashan, which destroyed the Song Dynasty.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a lack of kings like the Manchu Kangxi and Yongzheng who were as talented and talented as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Since the Mongol rulers have no strategy for governing the country, no good ethnic policies, three do not think about integrating into the Culture of the Central Plains, and fourth, in the distribution of the economic cake, they will stuff all the income into the pockets of the Mongolian Yuan.
Meng Yuan regarded the Han people as grass mustard (better for the southern scholars, needless to say for the northern Han people), and the Han people naturally took advantage of the time and place to facilitate people and the convenience, and forcibly participated in the shuffling of the status quo.
In more than a hundred years, it has been washed for 78 years, and Kublai Khan has been washed into the Yuan Shun Emperor, and the Mongolian Yuan has been washed into two parts: tile thorns and Tartars.
After the Battle of 150,000 people in the Blue Jade Department and deep into the Fishing Sea of Lake Bell, the golden family of Genghis Khan, which frightened the Eurasian continent, has lost the strength to win the Central Plains forever.
The Ming Dynasty then renamed the "Great Yuan" and "Northern Yuan" to "Mongolia". The change in title means that in the eyes of the Ming subjects, the Golden Family has become a bronze clan.
Speaking of which, the Mongolian Yuan's way of governing the country is far from being like the Manchu Qing dynasty that is a small number of people and follows the slave system.
Under the cruel rule of the Mongols at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, all parts of the country, especially in the areas of the "Southerners", were even more hungry and deadly.

The Fengyang people also live in various places and make a living by begging. Zhu's parents and brothers were also starved to death, and Zhu Zhongliu and Zhu Zhongba, whose families were destroyed, wanted to cry without tears, and they were unable to bury their father and brother, so they went to find the landlord Liu De.
This Liu De was a man of unkindness for the rich, and only knew how to squeeze the sharecroppers.
Once, Xiao Zhu was not angry with Liu De's snobbery and exploitation, so he consulted with Xu Da and Tang He, killed and ate a calf that liu De had put on, and also inserted the oxtail into the stone crack, saying that the cow went into the stone crack, and finally, the brother was naturally beaten by Liu De.
Therefore, 17-year-old Zhu Baba, trembling, tried to persuade Liu De, seeing that his parents and brothers were tenants of the Liu family, begged him to bury his father and brother in a corner.
Liu De scolded and grinned, and drove away the two brothers, Heavy Sixth and Heavy Eight. The reason is very rough and inhumane, your family works for me, I also pay you for the work, the two do not owe each other. If you want to be buried in my house, the poor ghosts don't think about it.
The two brothers have no land, no money, and no money, and they are completely destitute. For a moment, I sat in a troubled city. It is also a great act of filial piety not to let parents go into the ground and expose the body to the home.
Fortunately, Liu De's brother Liu Jizu took pity on his filial piety, gave away a corner of his own field, and buried his parents and brothers for the two brothers, and the two brothers tearfully buried the remains of their parents and brothers with a roll of straw mats, dug a pit and buried them, so they ran to their own things and asked for more blessings.
After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, whenever he thought of this tragic scene, he also sighed endlessly. This time when the royal driver returned to his hometown, Liu De heard the edict and was scared half to death at first.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's opening words above, the trembling in his heart calmed down slightly, Mom, I thought I was going to cut through the door.
In the 11th year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang made Liu De's brother Liu Jizu the Marquis of Yihui, and his descendants hereditary marquis, incidentally also gave Liu De, Tian 30 acres, exempted from military service for 10 years.
After Liu De listened to the edict, he heard that there was no punishment, and there were rewards, and he was shocked and overjoyed.
