A cow man is a cow man (I. Biography)
Let's talk about zhu Yuanzhang's life today. Zhu Yuanzhang is different from any founding emperor in history, he was born as an authentic peasant, as we said earlier, what kind of dynasty is the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty is a dynasty that divides people into three, six, nine, etc., does not regard the Han people as people, and does not allow any weapons in the people, think about how small the probability of success of the rebellion is?
Zhu Yuanzhang's original name was Zhu Zhongba, this name is not very earthy, this is related to the unscientific rule of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to show his determination to curse Yuan, later changed to Yuanzhang, some people asked Zhu Yuanzhang is not uncultured, how can he give himself a very connotative name, in fact, The eighth brother also went to private school for a few days, recognized a few big characters, but dropped out of school because of poverty in the middle.
Zhu Yuanzhang had three older brothers, two older sisters, the fourth year of the Yuan Shun Emperor (1344) was a turning point, the Jiangnan area suffered a great locust plague, grain grain harvest, every time after the disaster there will be plague, in addition to the second brother and the heavy eight, the parents and brothers and sisters have died, but not even a land to bury their parents, begging the landlord Liu De to see in the years of love to draw a mound of soil out, are strictly rejected, it can be seen how much the teenage heavy eight brothers hate the landlord class, plus the official corruption at the end of the Yuan Dynasty is serious, Corruption of public funds and fish and meat is the norm, which is why Zhu Yuanzhang hates corrupt officials and landlords so much.
Because of the compulsion of life, 16-year-old Zhu Zhongba could only go to the temple as a monk to do chores to barely fill his stomach, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty still gave preferential treatment to the temples and the like, often rewarded a large amount of land, the nobles also donated, the official government basically did not dare to bother, the monks of the monasteries had a large area of land to hire people to work, as if they were a big landlord, monks could drink wine and eat meat, marry wives and have children, so many monks in the monasteries at that time were not very religious, and some went to get rich. When the famine came, the two sources of income, farming and giving alms, were gone, and many monks ran away. Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, he can only go out to make a fortune (begging), he has come to Huaixi (now the Jianghuai region of Anhui), Eastern Henan (eastern Henan) and other places, during which he carefully observed the local geography, folklore, etc., broadened his horizons, did not expect to help his anti-Yuan uprising in the future, but also exercised his strong will, during this period he also knew a lot of believers in the White Lotus Sect, Ming Sect, and made friends with many jianghu people, which had a profound impact on Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising. It is still beneficial for people to experience some setbacks, and there must be disadvantages in everything that is good, and there are advantages that are good. (To be continued) #历史 #
