Zhu Yuanzhang was not only a virtuous monarch, but also a tyrant, who had leveled the crowd and completed the great cause of unification, but he was also a suspicious monarch who was good at subordinating to the people around him. The protagonist today is Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter-in-law. Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter-in-law mentioned here refers to the Wang clan, the wife of his second son Zhu Zhu. After defeating Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang began to arrange xu Da and Chang Yu's two-way northern expedition, and he told the generals that if anyone could capture Wang Baobao alive, he would count the merits. Xu Da's Western Route Army went all the way north, killing the Yuan Shun Emperor Canghuang fled north, Wang Bao protected and sent The Yuan Shun Emperor to leave, Xu Da did not capture Wang Baobao, but only captured his sister Wang Shi.
This Wang clan is very big. After Zhu Yuanzhang opened the Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate his relationship with the heroes, he adopted the method of marriage of sons and daughters. For example, the eldest son Zhu Biao married the daughter of Chang Yuchun, the four-character Zhu Di married the daughter of Xu Da, and the fifth son Zhu Xu married the daughter of Feng Sheng. However, the second son, Zhu Zhu's wife, Wang Shi, was not the daughter of a meritorious hero, but the sister of an enemy general. Wang's older brother was named Kuoku Timur, and his Chinese name was Wang Baobao, a general of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang often shunned that he could not bring Wang Baobao under his command, which was a major regret in life. In the war, he was able to capture Wang Baobao alive as a first-class meritorious officer in the army, and finally successfully captured his sister alive. After capturing Wang Baobao's sister alive, Zhu Yuanzhang made a good calculation in his heart. He married his sister to his son to show his respect for Wang Baobao. Second, he could also spread the word about it, and Wang Baobao's sister married Zhu Yuanzhang's son, which made the Yuan Dynasty lose trust in Wang Baobao. As the daughter of a large family, Wang Baobao's sister is not a weak woman. She was not alarmed, claiming that her maternal grandfather Shou Ling was still in filial piety and could not marry for three years. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also grasped this point. Zhu Yuanzhang gave his daughter-in-law a set and asked Wang, "What is the biggest thing in the world?" Wang replied, naturally, "Loyalty and filial piety are the greatest." After the daughter-in-law answered these 4 words, she was forced to marry.
In this way, the Wang clan was forced to marry Zhu Zhu as his wife. Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to Wang Baobao, and in order to win wang Baobao over, he often gave rewards to the Wang clan. However, later, Wang Baobao died in a battle on the grassland, and once the mountain fell, the Wang clan was not valued, until after Zhu Zhu's death, the Wang clan was forced to be buried, and her life ended in such a miserable way.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor is not from an aristocratic background, but a real commoner, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family, and later after his own unremitting efforts, he finally sat in the position of emperor and became the most powerful person in that period, but posterity also had different evaluations of him, some people said that he was very wise, knew how to sympathize with the people, and knew how to make the country prosperous, but some people also advised him to be too violent, suspicious, and kill innocents, but overall, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, still had a certain contribution to history.
In fact, from the perspective of the success of the king and the defeat of Kou, the struggle of the Wang clan was also futile, and in that era of imperial power, she had long since lost her personal freedom as a prisoner of war. Moreover, she still has a role for Daming, whether she wants to or not, or whether Zhu Yuanzhang plays this word game with her, she will eventually marry Zhu Zhu. Because after having this relationship, her brother Wang Baobao was very embarrassed, and Emperor Yuanshun naturally would not obey Wang Baobao as before. Later, the results of the matter were exactly the same as Zhu Yuanzhang predicted, Wang Baobao was speculated by Emperor Yuanshun and was gradually alienated, and I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's move was really clever!
