How much hatred was there between the peasant army and the Ming magnates? It is said that the 300-pound Fu Wang was cooked.
Zhu Changxun was the third son of Emperor Mingshen Zhu Yijun, and his mother was Zheng Guifei. Emperor Mingshen favored Emperor Zheng and deliberately abandoned the emperor's eldest son and made zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor, crown prince.
Since ancient times, it is the way to take chaos. Although Emperor Myeongjin tried his best to fight for it, the courtiers still strongly opposed it, and the Ming Dynasty was caught in a 15-year-long dispute over the foundation of the country.
After the battle of guoben, Zhu Changxun was crowned as the Prince of Fu. After a gap of 14 years, Zhu Changxun went to Luoyang to leave Beijing. This is not unrelated to the protection of the Myōjin Sect.
In Luoyang, Zhu Changxun continued the life of Long En's rich and luxurious.
According to historical records, Zhu Changxun mainly did three things in Luoyang:
First, 20,000 hectares of high-grade fertile land granted by the imperial court had to be added from the neighboring provinces of Shandong and Huguang due to the lack of land near Luoyang;
The second was to privately use the military salaries of the imperial court, monopolize the official salt in the Hedong area, and buy and sell in Luoyang, from which they made a lot of profits;
The third is to sound dogs and horses all day long, indulge in singing and dancing, eat, drink and have fun, and his own weight has reached 300 pounds, becoming a veritable "Fu Wang".
Zhu Changxun became richer and richer than the life of the imperial court, so there was a saying that "the first emperor spent the world to become a fat king, and Luoyang was rich in the great interior".
This naturally attracted the attention of the peasant army.
In 1641, when Li Zicheng's Army of Dashun came to Luoyang City, Zhu Changxun was forced to take out money, recruit soldiers, and rush to fight, and the results can be imagined.
Zhu Changxun eventually fell into the hands of the Da Shun Army, and his Fortune came to an end. Regarding the death of Zhu Changxun, there are three versions of the "Yuanzhi", "Ming History", and Peng Sunyi's "Liu Kouzhi".
Among them, the Liukou Zhi is the most detailed: "Thieves put wine in the assembly, the king of the thief is a trick, the mixed venison eats it, and the number of Fulu wine." If the above records are true, it can be seen that the contradiction between the Great Shun Army and the Ming Dynasty king, especially the Fu king, was really intensified to the extreme.
The cause of this contradiction is actually land annexation. Most of the soldiers of the DaShun Army were peasants and had an unforgettable hatred for land annexation.
As we all know, the Ming Dynasty divided the fields into official fields and civil fields. There are many types of official fields, whether it is an imperial palace or a relative of Xun, you can own an official field.
The ming dynasty's clan kings could get official land through the emperor's reward, but the number of ming clan kings was really doha in the later period, and the number of land was limited, which actually provided the soil for land annexation.
This situation intensified in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The land in the hands of the king of the clan is often thousands of hectares, or even tens of thousands of hectares, and the land in the hands of the peasants is getting less and less, and the average of each household is only about one hectare, coupled with the serious taxation, many peasants can only sell their land to the landlord. This exacerbates the contradiction between the two.
Whether or not King Fu was cooked, his death was inevitable.
